With 13 DNF's in a row on a difficulty 1.5 this probably needs to go since the maintenance requests are being ignored. The one found it log is probably invalid (they have 1 find total).
I was going to go and have a look for this one and then noticed about a dozen DNF's so glad I didn't even bother going there to look. Probably needs checking after this much time and a low difficulty rated cache of a non micro should have been found by now. Thanks.
Searched for over half an hour.
Scoured the entire area.
Given the size of the cache and the long string of DNFs, it might be an idea for the CO to check and confirm that this one is still here to be found. Doesn't seem to have had a legitimate find since November last year.
Thanks Datruk.

I was short on time but I was on the way past so stopped for a look. After about 10 min searching ask the nooks and crannies of the object at gz I saw it had lots of dnfs and gave up.

Did not find spent 30 mins looking ..... Knowing it's not where the gps is makes it sooo hard even with reading tips!!!
Looked and looked, a better hint may help. Kids not happy. Moving on to the next one
Couldn't find this one. Even in a non obvious place. Looks like there has been a clean up crew through here. Will watch logs eagerly.
spent too much time on this one, think it should have been easier. Me thinks it is missing
Tftc, look north (towards train line) of the obvious location. No pen, couldnt leave note.
After the completion of this years fantastic race, I managed to sneak away for a bit of a look. Hunted around for a bit as GPSr had me at a very common hiding spot. Had to widen the search a bit and found it not too far away to the north. Noted the numbers on the TBs before signing the log and re-hiding the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC Kems
After searching last night with no luck we were determined to find this cache, went back today and after half an hour of looking finally found it!
Was about 10m away from gps location
Was about 10m away from gps location
The ageing Bushfire needed a cache find today to complete his 366 day caching calendar and as we had worked out all the "Ants go Marching Caches" we ventured up to this part of the world to grab as many of these caches as possible and a few others as well.
As my caching mate suscoe has said this was the 15th find and did not find where the GPS said to look.
Widened the search area and then the cache was located and signed.
Thanks to Datruk for placing this cache.

Suscoe's 15th find of a day out and about with Bushfire.
We looked for a little while and then read a few logs to realise that we needed to look a little further away.
Cache was found about 7 metres to the north.
Log signed and returned to where we found this one.
Thanks to Datruk for bringing us here.
Go Scouts!

Parking in the scouts carpark, I navigated to GZ and found the cache leaving a TB. This TB has a few loose pieces...

Using the GPS, the very accurate co-ords led me straight to the cache. Well hidden, thanks Datruk
Found it without too much difficulty but like one of the previous loggers I had some GPS inaccuracy. I put the GPS next to the cache and the GPS said the cache was 8 metres Away. Great spot. TFTC
I only just made an account. I have a book that I write all our (me, my sister and my friends) finds.
I think this took us 2 tries. My gps was placeing us about 10 metres away from the cache.

This was our first night looking for caches for the Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition. My Scout son and I found five before bedtime 
TFTC!
Note: There was meant to be a trackable item (TB4RJRG) in this cache, but there wasn't one. It was apparently left there on 24th August last year, and has not been seen since...

A nice little walk for me and my kids and we had this one found. TFTC Lots of hiding spots in the object it was found in - thankfully I saw it pretty easily.
At 1.05pm
While waiting for our lunch to be prepared at a nearby cafe, I thought it a good idea to take Geo Rio to find his first cache.
Great one to show a first timer what caching is all about. Nice location, a little challenging but still not too difficult and a BOX WITH SWAPS IN IT.
Thanks very much for this one.

Our focus for the day was the engagement party event, which I barely made the tail end of... still worth the trip to congratulate the happy couple. Now it was time to see how many more caches I could grab while in the outer Eastern Suburbs for the evening.
The Stud Road bike path spat me out so close to here that it seemed silly to pass the hide without a look. Thankfully, it was a quick find, as I had been pushing my luck, and barely rolled down the ramp at Ringwood as the train pulled into the platform.
Twenty-six caches for the second Saturday in a row.

Thought the brick was it at first... Then discovered it was right behind said brick!
A great little cache for a girl guide. Found with four legged friend & Geo hubby. TFTCNice quick find on a very hot day out. Lovely area, thanks for bringing me here.

quick find with daughter in tow she seemed more concerned with the playground than the cache but she was still the one who found it TFTC
Sorry for the late lost log. Found while on family holiday for a few days.Thanks Datruk.
I had a pleasant walk to this cache after finding the nearby The Ants go marching 9 (GC40JBV). It was just starting to drizzle so there weren't any muggles with or without woggles about. Just as the GPSr was saying that I was a couple of metres from GZ, I noticed a likely spot. Sure enough it was the sneaky hide. I retrieved the container and then signed the log at 11:15am. Took: a pink elephant and Left: a rhinoceros.
Thanks Datruk for another scouting cache. My late father was a scout leader for most of his life (for over 50 years) so this cache brought back a lot of fond memories. [^]

Stopped in on my way to my Grandma's house.
Hardly any muggles around, so an easy, quick find.

Thanks guys nice little hiding spot. I took the travel compass but left a travel car behind I found this one at marysville just after the black Saturday fires. Thanks again shaun
Fourth find of the day and about fifth of the little scouts series that we have done. Gps wasn't friendly, but searching the area gave us a quick find. dropped tb. Thanks for the cache.
Found @ 9:40pm, find # 1603
Out and about on a small caching run.
This was the next on the list. After parking in the carpark we made our way through the bush to GZ, then realized that there was a path, once there a quick find was made.
Thanks to Datruk for this cache.

Just after dark, interesting find with a wind up torch.
Picked up this cache on the way to Anaconda to buy a decent caching torch.

Nice quick find, I wrote in the log whilst maggieslens was distracted with the puzzle.
The headless statue totally freaks me out! Natural aversion to woodpiles due to a very outdoorsy childhood soon had me in the right place, still got a glimpse of one of our reptilian friends so careful, folks!

Nice find on a bike ride. Thanks for taking me away from the more usual bike path. TNLN.
Nice quick find. The biggest cache we've found so far. Had to pretend to talk to the biggest magpie we've ever seen while a muggle went past with her dog.
Took puzzle, left puzzle. Clearly a wicket was lost in the nearby cricket game while I wrote in the log.

Nice evening for a few caches so we drove to somewhere and this area turned out to be where! No muggles just a Kookaburra watching our every move from a nearby branch. SL TFTH. There is now a bear in there!!
Nice night for a walk, nice easy find and plenty of stick chasing afterwards for the dog.

The heat was now above 30 degrees so I was a bit watchful of reptiles and this has been a big year for spiders! Trusty geostick did the job and the cache was in a place where you would expect one to be.

#898 After a DNF nearby it was good to make an easy find here. Lots of activity in the car park, not sure what was going on there, but no muggle probs at GZ. Great series this. Thanks Datruk.
