found it 10:30 this morning first coordinates r off by about 10 meters but second are spot on found it and loged it
 
10-Aug-14
Request this be changed to a multi cache as that's what it is.

Before being deactivated as a multi cache I think the owner needs to check it is actually there.

has anyone found way point 1 yet? my daughter has but didn't have time to find the cache and she will log it next saturday when she is with me. thats what she told me

It's with a heavy heart that I disable this cache until we figure out what to do next. The camo (which was a stone, not a snail shell) is in place with no cache attached, so we'll rethink this cache with the landscape changes over past months and decide what its future holds.

Sorry but this cache cannot be changed from a Traditional Cache to a multi cache. As it has been pointed to be a multi cache now I am archiving it.

If you want to have a multi submit a new listing.

Found it 10/8/14, great hide. Nice new log Entered the coords for the next way point arrived at GZ but DNF any thing there. GPS would not register them as a GC.
Just read previous posts.(Must have been a busy spot yesterday.) Now I understand whats happened.
Looking forward the next one from AV.

 
06-Aug-14
I've found the places the photos were taken from. I've check all the snail shells I could find. I've checked all the slits in the wall. I've checked all the fences. And I can proudly say: DNF.

Which brings me back to the previous "yes it's still there" note: how does the WP1 get determined?
 
28-Jul-14
my first ever unfounded geo- there is a homeless mans stuff there so I had the be careful. also the gap was jumping everywhere- would be good to have another clue of some sort!
 
27-Jun-14
Couldn't find this one, searched high and low with no result.
 
01-Jun-14
Thanks to odlids for checking in on this cache and confirming it is still in good working order. Both WP1 and GZ are in place, but they are tricky to find - camo on WP1 is very effective. Perseverance is key. Good luck.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to see so many DNFs since we've been overseas. Will temporarily disable this cache until we have a chance to check on it and then will re-enable once we have it sorted out. Thanks for the logs, everyone.

Altaire and I searched and searched but couldn't find anything, twisted or not. I had an idea what the camo may be but this didn't eventuate either. There are 2 shipping containers right at GZ not sure how long they have been there for but as they now make good concealment for the wall people seem to be using the place as a toilet. Not really pleasant. So many DNFs and the last finder didn't really find the cache at all it seems, so a cache check would be great please.

Nah - didn't find it.
 
24-May-14
Any chance of checking if the twisted part of this cache is still there?
 
08-May-14
Worked out the best spots for it, after 20min nil find.. CO to check please..
 
23-Apr-14
Doh. Sad
I mustn't be ant-ish enough.
(My gps was directing me to the overpass)
 
18-Apr-14
I think we got the hint for the cache, and I'm sure we knew where it was. Last time we couldn't do this because a gardener was around. Anyway, the co-ords say it's on the road.
 
17-Mar-14
Nope not for me.
Surely the last cachers are much more experienced but I wanted to give it a try and headed over the bridge to GZ, went behind that huge green object and searched every nook but zero result.
Maybe it's gone, maybe I am blind. Thx anyhow

We certainly were. There was no chance of us rising victoriously today.
 
08-Jan-14
The GZ is hidden quite well, but we will pop by soon just to double check it's still there. In the mean time I will see how we can change the cache type so our twist doesn't mislead anyone else.

After some searching, we were able to find this cache. An impressive location! Because this is listed as a traditional cache, we are logging it as a 'find'. Searched far and wide for the second instalment, however we were not successful. Nonetheless, a good hunt. May need some updating. TFTC!
 
30-Dec-13
Up from Canberra visiting the family for the holidays...so why not take advantage of top weather and spend the day on a geomission around The Shire? Smile

After a bit of a search I found the clever little cache and was quite happy with that...until the twist. Ummm...wtf? Well that makes the Traditional I was expecting to find now a one stage Multi! Continued on and didn't attempt the search due to muggles.

Nice cache if able to log as a Traditional, however the twist now means the listing requires an update to reflect the new cache type. Cheers Smile
 
No luck for us today.
 
07-Dec-13
Sad

Well well WELL...

I found the cache after not too much trouble, and then came the twist... oh. Don't really like it Sad Doesn't meet the guidelines for this cache type.

Liked the gardens.

Soon I discovered that I had dog poop all over both my shoes, one sock and the hood of my camera. Gross! [xx(]

We spent some time getting the dog crap off but my shoes and sock were still covered in it [B)]

Couldn't even finish the cache.

An excellent test of a cacher's ability! Should get two smileys for finding this one! Thanks for the adventure.

We've finally updated Puzzled after the gardens were added near GZ. We've added a twist, and we hope you enjoy it.
 
10-Nov-13
Muggles, Muggles everywhere......never the less made the find fairly easily.

Great little cache container, now to sign the log.......what the!!!

The adventure continues.......enjoyed the visit to GZ, a well cared for little spot!

TFTC Arise Victorious, many thanks also for going to the trouble of replacing your cache.

Hi all,

Thanks for bearing with us - we've been in the midst of moving house and the geocaching box has yet to be unpacked. We aim to have an improved Puzzled in action by Sun 3 Nov (2 weeks).

Hi Arise Victorious

I am adding your cache to my watch list, in the hope that it will be enabled soon!! [?]
 
16-May-13
Hi everyone, thanks for the logs - puzzled has indeed been disabled due to a new garden. I am temporarily disabling this cache while I plot a solution.
 
07-May-13
Hi, it appears there is a new garden put in where I think this should be. It is possible the cache is now buried under a large amount of new pine wood mulch. Can a previous finder/ owner please check if cache is not buried. Thanks
 
02-May-13
Two of us thought like ants and couldn't find it. There is a big pile of raked up leaves near a fence at GZ - is it possibly under that? Any finders please comment!
 
15-Mar-13

Found with JustR. Digital thermometer on sign at car parts shop read 38C at 1530hrs. Not really a day to be out caching, but, thankfully this was a relatively easy find & we were soon back in the comfort of the car's a/c. SL TFTC Smile

Found with the family. Awesome hide but no match for 3 sets of eyes! TFTC.
 
24-Oct-12
Hi all,

We have replaced the cache so please come by and visit. As usual, please be careful not to detach the camo from the top of the container (best to pop the lid off by pushing from below - don't grip the camo). Please let us know if any harm comes to the cache so we can maintain it. Thank you!

Arise_Victorious (Eyespiral and Tarae)
 
21-Oct-12
Sorry folks. Someone appears to have helped themselves to the cache. We will replace it as soon as humanly possible.

Quick find on my shortest Sydney trip ever. Only here for 4 hours but still managed to grab a cache! Thanks.
 
18-Aug-12
With lots on today, there wasn't much caching time, so I was glad this little cache was tucked away nearby and an easy find for 2 reasons:-

1) I needed to fill in a calendar day, and
2) It's International Geocacching Day!

Happy IGD to all geocachers, and TFTC Arise Victorious!
 
05-Aug-12
Arrived at Sutherland station for an Anglican conference not far away and decided to take my luggage for a walk over to this one.
There were a couple of older muggle guys talking on the other side of the gate but luckily the cache is out of view.
I spotted it pretty easily but really admire the container which I think is a new one for me and nicely positioned here.
That's a very pretty garden nearby and all in all a nice intro to this part of Sydney which is new to me: TFTC!

Loved this one!! Was very easy, particularly with the clue, but thought it was very creative.
Great job!!
 
26-Feb-12
Very well hidden, the hint definitely helped Smile
A lady who lived in one of the houses near there asked what all the people digging around were doing, we told her, so she knows now.

Not sure if I should say this but colour is the key.
It was great fun!
 
21-Feb-12
TFTC, Wow what a great hide, wondering if it reaches a point for favorite. Visited with a group of trackables so that they had some activity on the 21.2.12

Very nice hide!
Hard to be discreet in this area when wearing a skirt and high heels Wink

Went with Ridersofroryhan and Mandalf. Echoing ROR, nice hiding spot, I wouldn't have any other reason to go there though
 
18-Feb-12
Pretty cool idea for a micro. I would have been searching for a long time if not for ridersofroryan's keen eye. tftc

Ended up in the perfect parking spot more by luck then anything else. From there it was an easy stroll to GZ and I am happy to say I have seen a lot already, otherwise this could have been very tricky!

Nice one. Considering the sneakyness of it i am surprized that i found it so quickly. Found it with Lloyddownunder a great day out.
