PLEASE maintain

All the colours in this have now merged into a moldy brown/black colour. Drained some of the water out then managed to place a sticker in the soggy mass that was once a log book.

A quick find after a bit of a scramble through the bush. I tipped about 1/2 litre of water out of the cache, the log needs replacing as it's covered in mould, sorry about the maintenace news, but T4TC!

Couldn't log that one mate, it was a swimming pool...

Nice area there.

Thank you for the cache and greetings from Portugal.

The log is completely wet, it is not possible to write on the log.
Needs maintenance.

Nice easy find

STILL EXPOSED WHICH MADE IT EASY TO FIND, TRIED COVERING THE CONTAINER AS BEST WE COULD BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY SAFE THERE ANYWAY. TFTC. TNLN.

Slightly exposed making a easy find from our approach, log book has dried out enough to log for now but with the approaching wet season it may not last, hid with a little more cammo TFTC

Did with froghoppin nice area great hide TNLN TFTC

Found it! However I was not able to write in the log book due to it's failing condition as well some of the contents were in poor condition as well. I say give a quick lil check up and a new log book and it'll be right again!

As previously stated contents were on poor condition but great find!

Found at 4.15pm GAFF1. Not much colour in that cache - just a lot of dry dusty mould from the log book.
A nice little enclave here - was actually asked by a neighbour if we were looking for someone.
Thanks Smith's Search.

Nice spot, no ants, but the pen is stuffed and I didn't have a spare

Almost stacked my bike

L= Green Malloo Ute car
T- Orange car

TFTC

Thanks for the cache; however it needs a new pen and the cache is teaming with ants.

Find number 3 for the day. Pretty water logged, but fairly easy find.

Very dodgy at night with the crunchy leaves and barking dogs! Tooks a while to find. Cheers Gav [8903]

Visited at night but had real stealth issues due to dogs barking at leaves cruching as we walked to the cache.

Find number 14 for the day, and find number 261 on the twentysecond day of our month long trip to Warwick, Lightning Ridge, Boulia, Plenty Highway, Alice Springs, Ayres Rock, Darwin, and home. Found at 1455hrs Qld time.

Its obviously not just geocachers that seek out caches, ants do too. Pulled this one from its hole, and opened it and got covered in ants. They had nested inside, no doubt to shelter from all the rain. Needs a little TLC.

Cheers

Lovely bit of bush .... easy find & we soon had cache in hand .... but the continual sound of barking dogs was almost enough to put us off enjoying the scenery! T4TC

Found by Tamara of DMS LOST. The log book was wet but i wrote in the little blue book
swaped geo coin for a bright toy car TFTC SL.

Nice simple find, log needs a new pen, I didn't have on on me.

Nice bit of bushland - left trackable. thanks Smith's Search

Fantastic location! Took my mum for a walk to show her my latest hobby. At first sceptical but now she's a believer! Took TB, LN,SL. TFTC!

Dogs barking all around us - stopped being discreet when we realised all the dogs were barking all day long in this neighbourhood - not just at us. Such a bright cache required us to leave a bright trackable - a glitter teeshirt with a bright yellow teeshirt tag!. Uplifted the oz gc for more adventures. Thanks

bright happy smiles after an easy find

Found while being observed from afar by two little fairies.Left TB

Easy find... hard to log when you're silly enough to arrive without a writing implement, though!

Left log record by writing hard with a defunct biro! Also left a colourful majestic Orchids fridge magnet.

The kids loved this one - A nice fairly easy find - TFTC!

Easy Find. Several muggles walking past - they didnt see me walking through the bush though!

Sorry it took until the weekend to fix the cache. It now has a brand new LOG Book - be the first to write in it! Also lots more colourful items to trade.

wrapped log is paper towel to soak up some of the moisture and placed in a snap lock bag.... temporary measures, might help.
It was colourful, loved it.

Very nice location. Cache is in need of serious maintenance by cache owner. It is full of water and I couldn't log a visit in log book as it was saturated.

Found on my way to Darwin.
Thank you very much for the cache and showing the area.
It's full of water, needs new logbook.
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

Full of water

Close to home. Good chance to introduce friend to the pleasures of geocaching

I didn't know there was so much scrub in the area. I left a red reflector to continue the theme. T4TH

I have had this cache written in my notebook since I started caching back in June. I've even had the bright blue stress ball in my caching bag since day dot especially for this cache. One reason and another I just never got around to this one.. but today, I finally made it on the way home from work.

T - tigger toy
L - bright blue stress ball

Doing the trackable item tracking thing...

Found with Justin and Papadom. thanks for the find!!!!

Found it this afternoon JD & tangc! Nice one tyftc!

Dogs! Every yard here seems to have barking dog to tell the world that I have arrived. Tried for this one last year without success.
Left some travellers to continue the journey.

Found it during our big holiday around Australia. Thank you all guys for your lovely caches. MaJa from the Czech Republic

That is certainly one interesting bit of camouflage! A quick find today, thanks.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 71 of a "climatic refugee" trip. After dropping the geoChallenger at Winnellie for a service I caught the bus to Palmerston determined to clear the surrounding area of unfound caches.

Having pre-determined that GC18GCY Yip Therapy by Kerr NT, with 2 DNFs and no find for 11 months, was to be excluded, I had five caches to hunt down, and this was the fourth. Not having the luxury of wheels, I walked from GC19M2T Palmerston Shootout #1 by Groboz to the start of the Palmerston Escarpment Walk, then followed the walk all the way to GC14TP2 The Ridge Walk by Kerr NT, then continued along the ridge and found a slightly more difficult track leading almost in the right direction to get to this cache.

I spotted some Colour in the Bush from about 10 metres away, and made a very quick and easy GAFF 1 find. Disappointingly the first decent sized cache of the day was almost devoid of swaps.

My find No 1656, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped Prezli TB (ref = TBNEW4) and Nickell Geocoin (ref = TB1DHHF), also dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

I realized later that I should have back-tracked a short distance to continue along the Escarpment walk in the direction of GC1J64N Colour in the Bush by Smith's Search, but I continued along the ridge and found a slightly more difficult track leading almost in the right direction.

Got some strange looks from the cache neighbours, they obviously thought it strange someone roaming the bash just beyond their fence line. Good spot a cache, sadly I had nothing colourful to leave.

Geodaughter did this one on her own and did extremely well. She's got the GPS down pat now. Found no problems, deciding what to swap was her hardest decision.
Took pink heart locket - Left red car tape measure.

[Thanks - had been through this park before. Had dd2yrs and happened to need a wee, great diversion, but no muggles anyway! took kanga and left badge (also took pencil by accident, found it by the pram after replacing!!) There's a pen in there for writing so assume its not major. ]
If you dont know the area, a street map might do - kinda rabbit hole in there!! (if you intend driving in as far as poss)

Have fixed it up and returned to its spot with all new GOODIES including a travel bug and NY keyring

As we were searching near the corner house, a bloke spoke to Mr Bushies2 but we are deaf so he signed back, pointing his ears meaning we couldn't hear, the bloke just smiled and waved at us. Maybe he knows about the hide, anyway Mr Bushies2 found it but the cache was soaked and logbook too wet to sign so we replaced with a new logbook and seal bag. Thanks Smith's Search for the hide and hunt.

The cache is soaked and items are sort of rusted, it will need a new cache, even though we put another logbook. Thanks.

One of our many caches during our holiday in darwin T TB, TFTC

Went and Checked up on it. Moved back to original location after finding it a bit futher away. Left a Tassie devil travelbug that we brought back from our holiday in Tasmania
