We found the cache in very poor condition. Log book very wet and soggy, pretty much mush condition. A nice walk and a tricky find. Thank you!

Tough find. Thanks for the challenge

Found during a day out caching in the northern suburbs. Parked in the backstreets and wandered through to the cache. Found the container but was unable to sign the deteriorating log book. Thanks for the cache Team Jansons!

Log book tatty here and a short stop and walk and find on this one, as per the previous log the log book is well past its life time and needs fixing

This morning I set out to find a few caches that I had left in the North eastern suburbs before lunchtime.
Thanks for the cache
 
This one had us walking around in cirlces for a while. Luckily they were decreasing circles and we finally found the cache. The cache is no longer a screw top container, but a small rusty metal one.
The fragile remnants of the log book were hard to write on. This cache needs some serious TLC. Thanks for sharing this area with us.

After a Breakfast event Sir Spectre, mogni, Michells&Hound, JJ52 and I headed north to find some caches. Most of them were puzzles that had been solved with a few others along the way. A good day with good company.
 
09-Aug-20
Out with the JAMS team today. All logs today stamped with the " JAMS " stamp. The team today was JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, Michells&hound and Sir_Spectre. Some caches were found before The Breakfast Club #9 event and many more after the event. The day was planned to get more caches with the work " Reel " in it but it turned out to more a day filled with " The Mare Hare " caches with others trads and multi's in the mix. A couple of Dnf's were cleared off the list, as those caches were missing on my last trip through that area and a fun day by all was had.
 
09-Aug-20
Out and about with the Southern crew finding caches north of the city. Today the JAMS team consisited of JJ52, Allister W, mogni, Michele and Hound and sir_spectre. We had lots of fun and found lots of challenging hides.
Thanks to Team Jansons from mogni Big Grin

Today ended up being a big caching day up North.
Found lots of puzzles that are way beyond my brain capacity coupled with a Wherigo, a multi, a few trads and an event. Was honored to be part of the JEMS team today, great day out being chauffeured by Allisterw, scribed by Mogni and navigated by Sir_Spectre. JJ52 also accompanied us for the first 10 or so caches.
At the end of the day I added in a few lab caches in Prospect.
Left home at 8am to do some cache maintenance and back home via the bottle shop to get a celebratory bottle of gin at 6ish. Epic caching day out.
Big thanks to all the CO, only one dnf, a beaut of a day for caching and great to catch up with lots of fellow cachers at the brekkie event.
All of us walked to this one. Log was quite skanky so was replaced. TFTC!

After reading a few notes, found it! As notes suggested, clue not real accurate. Log wet but still a nice mission with my son
 
14-Jun-19
Found on a short walk after work.

Cache located but not in great condition. The logbook is soaked and the latex glove trying to keep the cache dry has holes and is not doing a great job.

Thanks for the cache.

Out & about with hevwalker caching around the badlands again.
We decided to try the para-nine series
Realising that we were on the wrong road for parking,
I parked the car as safely as I could on a very busy road
and walked up the embankment and along the trail.
Hevwalker soon had the cache in hand, now to find the car...
Thanks for the cache Team Jansons
 
04-Feb-17
Oops...did you say don't park on McIntyre Rd...we pulled right off it...a quick run up the hill and located the cache in record time...just as the rain started pouring down...

Went searching for paradise with Sebastbat and Purrfect Di.
Found some roadside rubbish, a pile of dirt and a mint tin.
Thankfully the mint tin, despite looking like rubbish, had a log.
Paradise appears over-rated Twisted

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. On the way to work at a different location and saw this one on the way so decided to detour in and make the find. Parked nearby and wandered over to GZ and made a quick find even with the gps being a little flaky. Signed log and replaced. So this is what paradise is like. Gratias pro cache

This one was a little bit difficult. One of the recent events helped. I have replaced the container and put a makeshift log in it. I placed it about 1 foot from its original gz so it would not get squished again. A little bit of care is needed when putting caches back to prevent damage
 
21-Oct-15
Squished smashed smooshed tftc!
 
13-Oct-15
Found with Nicoli under the boulders, didn't sign as log was soggy. Cache is squashed and won't close properly. Probably time to replace this one.
 
13-Oct-15
Was waaaay too water-logged and covered in ants to sign, might be time to replace Smile -found with Uforia

If the weather was anything to go by, it was para-dise for the ducks. This chicken didn't enjoy getting her feathers wet but the lure of a cache to fill in the calendar was enough to get out of the house. TFTC

Very sneaky. TFTC

Found this cache last week and noticed it needed maintenance, came back today better equipped to fix the damaged cache. I replaced the container put damp log book and extra paper in a new zip lock bag. Hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toes replacing the cashe.

Walking around the area my GPS said I was close... searching the area I thought something must be wrong with my GPS! Took a minute cleared my head and realized it was right where I was standing.
TFTC


 
Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺.
 
Cache has been squashed and log is soaked. Sorry did not have a replacement on hand.
 
04-Jul-15
A tricky hide! Great spot, but couldn't retrieve the log out of a deformed cache, so couldn't sign. Needs replacing. Found with Aliooo91 and geodog. TFTC

Good hide
 
14-Mar-15
Very cool hide, nice place.
 
08-Feb-15
Out searching for caches in the area, so had to grab this one. I think it could have been hidden under something smaller, as the container is somewhat out of shape!! Luckily we just managed to retrieve the log for signing. TFTC!!
 
01-Dec-14
Our second find for the evening, making it seven out of nine in this series. We must hunt down the other two soon! It took a while to locate this one and it was quite laborious, too, lots of places to look before we got our hands on the (somewhat out of shape) container. Logbook in good order still, so no problems signing here. TNLNSL TFTC

Wasn't sure until I saw the photos as there are quite a few red herrings round here

Gotcha!


Hmmm... This one is looking a bit worse for wear. I should have brought my tool kit. Maybe I could have straightened it out a bit.


ZZzz..
