Cache is now part of the ant nest. Container is broken and the log has been eaten

First find by Lily after a nice evening walk through the scrub. Thanks for the experience.
Found the geocache but couldn't get it out of the hide-y hole. Have to head back with some tools next time!
Once again in Bundy so that Pertunia can visit the doll show. Walked to this one after visiting the nearby Junk. Circumnavigated the GZ a few times, then it appeared before me. Nice hide. TFTC
By bike I wobbled toward GZ.
Just before the ring road overpass, I found a bike path
Off I went and found meself deep in magpie territory [:o]
Damn little black and white pest !!
At least the magpies in Bundy are a bit tamer than in other cities and not one has drawn blood yet
With the maggie sitting a few metres away in a tree, I started circling the stone for any signs of a cache.
Could I find anything ?
Could I hell as like
I stood back a bit and sipped on a fizzy 'thinking' cola for a bit.
Me magpie mate sat there waiting patiently for me to ride off so he could dive bomb me some more.
Then I saw the cache [:o]
Now I'm a believer,
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave it unfound if I tried
Gawd that was hard to see,
And hard to extract too !!

Today was Day two, or should I say continuation of our Big Day out. Just to get a few more for our holiday. This time it was just Mastamak and TriBre.
Having gone around and around GZ, then having Mastamak taunt me over the fact that he had found it and want to see if I could find it, I did so enjoy this cache! The hide is fantastic! Well worth the taunting, we have our days and today was not mine! Cache blindness was the order of the day!
This was the 7th find of 9 finds for the day. With 0 DNF's for the Whole Day!! (Whhhooo Hoooo)

Found with the half the team today Mastamak, TriBre... TriBre could not locate the Cache! Told him to take off his sunny's next time! Then forgot he need this glasses!
TriBre circled GZ without luck. He must have had cache blindness as I found it in no time.
I was told that the cache container was damaged so we have replaced it with a new one, It is now a bit tight so you made require an extraction tool.
Out and about on a day in Bundy by myself finding caches.
I walked around and around until I spotted it.
Thanks for the cache.

Found this cache quickly however the cache was difficult to remove. TFTC keithnhazel
This certainly was an interesting cache to find and we certainly were glad that we had our tools with us!
Clever hide indeed. TFTC keithnhazel - a good challenge retrieving your cache after we found our way to it!!

Our last day of caching in Bundaberg and we have enjoyed the area very much. Thanks KeithnHazel Great hide.
creative place. You must have sculpted the structure to fit the cache there. Nice small easy one .

Soon hand cache in hand although it was a bit of a tight squeeze! Thanks keithnhazel 4 TC
If I had read the description properly, I would have gone straight to the right place. Never mind, made it in the end. Nice hide, but hard to get out. TFTC
We turned this one into a drive-by ... thanks to the Triton . At GZ Janine struggle to remove the cache, but i managed to wiggle it out of there . Certainly a nice road they have built for you ... we are about to test out the rest of it . All ok and dry with this one ... TFTC keithnhazel
This was like the monument was made for the cache. Out of the way spot. Nice quite find. Thanks Keith & Hazel. Hope you enjoy your trip
We will be away travelling for a while, so we checked all our caches, repaired and replaced if needed, Cache is in good condition and waiting for you.
Replaced wet log, Will replace cache soon as old one is damaged on the bottom, Please put cache back upside down. Thanks
Our youngest found this one, SL, which was damp, dried the container as much as I could. TFTC
Took a while to find but in the end very simple and a great effort - up to find number 3 with my daughter (did what a hoot at same time). Thanks
Luckily I approached from the right direction and only had a short walk to the cache. The GPS was directing me up the bank but that didn't appear right so I started searching the more obvious location and soon had the cache. TFTC.
Oh cache blindness had me on this one, I could not believe that I needed to look for as long as I did once I found it. SL TFTC
There are two ways to approach a cache ... The easy way and my way. Parked real close, but on the wrong side of the ring road ... Don't try this at home kids. A d I won't say anymore on that in case the cops read this. Actually spotted the cache immediately on arrival (heightened senses methinks) , signed, and safely t
Returned to geomobile only to discover that I should have done the hoot one as well, time to do a better drive effort ...
Cheers KeithnHazel, its been a pleasurable time this weekend.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
After having a hoot of a time round the corner, we ventured over to here and thought this was an odd place for a monument!!
Found the cache quickly and appreciated how simple yet quite clever this hide is!
Thanks keithnhazel.

We approached from the west down another dirt road. The car will realy need ashng when we get home. We parked in the shade of a nice big tree and headed off to find what a hoot but had no luck finding a way in. It wasn't far to this cache so we wandered along the bike track till we found the monument and then the cache. We initially thought that the co-ords might be slightly out or this was a multi/offset cache as our first impression was that there was nowhere to hide a cache. But there was.
I wander how many people use this track.

Somehow Gaz'n'Kab, Fangsoki and I had a nevigation fail getting to this one, but eventually made it. Wandered over to the lovely little plaque and Gaz soon spotted the cache. Surprisingly obvious, yet hidden from the passer by. I like how they used a blasted piece of rock, presumably from the road construction to mount the plaque. TFTC.
We had some fun getting to this one, but made it there in the end
A quick find and some very nice camo

We found an unholy way of getting here - but we got there We arrived at GZ and fossicked around before we came up with the cleverly hidden cache. It is in good condition. TFTC keithnhazel
Steptoe St is definetely the go. Cache a little damp but not too bad, a perfect fit. Thanks keithnhazel.
A quick find today after finding a nearby cache. Approaching the cache, we were wondering where the cache could possible be hidden but all was revealed upon searching GZ. Clever use of the availalble hiding spaces. TFTC
We finally got there. We entered the co-ords and our TomTom wanted us to turn up non-existent streets off the Ring Road, so we put in 'Steptoe St' and might have known the road was as dilapidated as it's namesake!! SL TFTC
We came from the wrong side of the road, and crossed the ring road (safely) and had an easy find in the dark. Cheers Gav [8367]
Was advised that cache was missing, We have replaced it and is now up and going again.
Happy hunting

Arrived at the monument to find no sign of the cache. After a bit of searching, Mrs Lat&Long discovered the log and plastic bag in the long grass. It was dry, so we signed it and have handed it to team fuddley so it can be reunited with its owner.
This was to be a clever hide but I am glad my feet found it. As Mr L&L says, Mr F has the goods now ready for you to hide again. I think I left the lid in place but the container wasn't to be found.TFTC
Gotcha !!! Must upgrade the maps on my Nuvi ,I'm sure it would make things easier. TFTC
Found at 1515. Drove past this one three times thanks to the traffic looking for a safe place to park. Found a safe spot and not too far to walk back along the path. Loved the method of hiding this one and its Camo. I had to look twice because I could not believe that you were that lucky to have that ideal spot. TFTC
Nice easy find once you have the correct coords written donw.

I cheated, parking within a metre of the cache. I know I shouldnt have, but it was just too easy. Pulled off the ring road, and reversed back towards the cache, and kept reversing. nIce camo job, but it is wearing a bit thin around the outside, due to it wearing when removed and replaced. Log roll was also a bit damp, with condensation inside the bag. I dried the bag out as best I could, but it will probably sweat again. Found at 1530hrs.

Parked on the bottom road but made my way the cache the hard way by grass bashing through the very tall grass. Found my back to the car via a track which was much easier.
This is not a hard cache to find but the amount of work to get the colour right is first class, so well done.

Found on a good day caching in the area. Thanks to keithnhazel for the cache. I was very impressed with the camo on this one - well done!
The Garmin Nuvi got a headache trying to get to this one. A simple but effective hide.
Thanks KeithnHazel

Came looking for this one with my oldest son Jono in tow, the rest of the family had bailed out and gone back to Maryborough. A short walk under the bridge and up the other side and the cache was quickly found by Jono.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal & Jono

First find for me in some time now,
Used my new Twonav Sportiva handheld GPS.
Latest software release has a geocaching menu, I think better than the Geocaching menu on my Oregon.
Wanted to try it out. Very happy, The Sportiva took me directly to Cache Hide.
