Sorry, I agree with the previous 3 cachers over the past 7 months. The tree branches are bare. There are no Small-sized Sistema boxes in the trees. There are plenty of freshly fallen leaves and newish wood chip on the garden bed. If the cache is still there it is buried. There has has been no CO activity for six months. I'm calling a request for the cache to be archived.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
In the area doing a few caches
Lots of new bark around and I had a bit of a forrige around but I could not locate it it must be buried somewhere
I will be back to try again
Thanks Box Hunters TFTC

The area looks like new bark has been added so if it is on the ground it may be buried
Took grandson 3.5 and eldest granddaughter 6 to their first geocache. They signed also.
Thanks.
Thanks.
After scouring the natural fallen vegetation for signs of a cache, I eventually found it only 2 meters away from where I started. I tricky find, but perseverance is what paid off. But with different pair of eyes, an easy find. For your first ever cache it, standing the test of time with the original log book & container from 4 1/2 years ago, you must have done a good job. Cheers.

Was here sometime back and was unable to unearth this cache I returned today for a moderately quick find. Nice hide and cache in good condition.

TOOK US FOREVER! ! but it was right infront of us the whole time. The fallen leaves made it a little more difficult.
It was my very first find so exciting

This should have been an easy find but there was a nosey neighbour watching me had to wait until they disappeared, there were a lot of leaves on the ground which made it a bit harder to find but got it in the end. Signed log and re-hid. TFTC
A quick grab on a super hot day on the way home from the airport.
Clever hide, not what we were looking for. TFTC

Nice hide or so the millipede guard thinks, granddaughter loved playing on the whirly swing, but laughed when grandpa fell off, things we oldies do for our grandkids
Quick stopover on my way home from the airport to grab a cache. A quick find that I imagine would be pretty tricky if there was anyone else around near GZ as you're pretty exposed. Thanks for the cache Box Hunters.
Nice easy find while waiting to help a friend load a car from the car auctions. Good thing about weekday caching is no muggles in sight.

Quick little detour whilst getting the woodlands series. Quick, easy find. TFTC!
I hit the wall here and found after quite a while that I had gone to far! No push over like some suggest.
Thanks Box Hunter.

On our way home from dropping RedLeader&Fox2 at the airport, we thought we should grab some more caches....this was one of them.
Found with Shellumbus.

Hard to believe we would be muggled out so early on a Sunday morning!
After waiting and using the stealth mode we made a quick recovery did the duties and returned

This one was made a little harder with all the fallen leaves. Interesting park, what is the spinning round wheel do?

Over working in the north west today and that's all the opportunity I need to grab a few caches in the area after work.
Looked and looked and looked but I'm just not seeing it. Time to move on, this ones for another day.

Drove up the cul de sac and walked through the secret path to this playground. Local muggles just leaving giving me free access to search alone. After looking tree high decided to try land low. What's this? Lo and behold a box! TNLN TFTC Box Hunters.
A pre conceived idea of what I was looking for meant I took longer to find this cache than was really necessary!! Luckily the weather wasn't that great so there was no one to see me loitering suspiciously Got it in the end. TFTC
Out with xambo4u, this was the first cache for the day. A quick find which was a good start to the day. Thanks Box Hunters.
10.55 Out and about with echidna44 for a very very windy caching day.
Clearing out a couple in this area and this was our first for the day.
Nice easy find, hard to keep it coverage even with additional wait. Good to see it was not to close to the play equipment, not that it mattered today as there was no one around.

Found tonight on the way home from the airport, I thought I would pick up a few caches whilst in the area. Tftc
Just dropped off family at the airport and it was a close call with timings. Stress levels up so a cache needed to calm back down. A brief search and the cache was in hand. Thanks
As I approached the park there is a sign about magpies swooping and they weren't joking. I needed to collect this one as there really wasn't going to be another opportunity as I head to the airport to collect interstate visitors. Perhaps it was the magpies that had me taking cover under the flowering cherry blossom trees or the lure of the cache. Either way a quick find and a quick but careful departure. TFTC
Well what can I say... We found a nice man who told us it was Muggled before because he found it this morning, we were going to add a replacement container but eventually got the real container back and logged a Successful find!!!

Easy find but had to come back a second time to sign due to a pesky muggle and her mini muggle. TNLN. TFTC.
Just as I pulled up some muggles arrived. They were preoccupied so I was free to look around. Found the cache and walked around the corner to sign the log then returned it to its hidey hole.

A quick stop on the way home today. After a short search I spied the cache. Great hiding place and camouflage. Always good to have a convenient place to sit nearby while signing the log.
Thanks Box Hunters for a great cache.

Nice park. Couldn't sign log as pencil is missing (this was an impromptu for me as I was out for a jog). Zip lock bag is busted too so log starting to get damp. Thanks for the cache.
Another day on the caching trail. A variety of caches were encountered and eventually conquered, making for an enjoyable and liesurely day out. How nice to be outdoors in the fresh air rather than being cooped up inside.
Many thanks Box Hunters for placing this cache .

We organised to meet up with micaparamedic for a day of caching and after doing the near by Willowbrook series we thought we had time for one more before heading home.
We went for a walk through this little park and simply followed the needle to GZ where the cache was discovered after a quick search.
This one could get harder as Autumn wears on.
Thanks once more Box Hunters for showing us this location.

Found! The last of my trip out here this morning to grab some local hides. I parked a short distance away, a walk trough an alley & once at co-ords found quickly. Autumn is a great time

Another DNF courtesy of the council. Last one was the tree loppers, this looks like a whopper snipper has decimated the cache.
Maybe time for CO to check on it.

Found what appeared to be fragments of a cache container here. Council have been in with mowers & whipper snippers.
First day in Australia, I'm a bit tired by 30h of travel in plane but i'm so excited to discover the country.
Cache found with Beenasse.

Out and about on a day of suburban caching with Sorceysal today and literally walked right up to this spot. Sorceysal had the log signed and back in it's hiding spot as quick as a flash. Lovely little spot. TFTC Box Hunters.
A day out with Dutch Frangipani to do some city caches this time. Dutch Frangipani doesn't like the thought of doing bush caches this time of year because of slithering things. We had a great day finding caches, having a few laughs and going to some places that we had not been before. (some of the good things about caching)
The secret of hillcrest was quickly exposed today. Managed to walk right to the exact spot and had the cache in hand in about 10 seconds flat.
