Hate to be that person, but..ah, i dont see this ever getting fixed.

also am i blind, or am i just unable to find what the last magical adventure one is? (which all the clues lead to)

Noticed that two out of 6 have already been archived :S

I think it's time for this one to go

In contact with owner, offered to help out with cache, still working out some fine detail as this seems to be a cache holding a clue to another.

Will have to get over there and check on cache!

Not Happy Jan !!!

Not to be found anywhere

Team NKJ

Well, this one looked like it might not be fun when we turned up. Mind you, we might have been barking up the wrong tree, but the bark sure was piled around this one.
After a while we decided that there would be easier pickings elsewhere. Our only DNF for the day.

We searched high and low for this one and left almost no stick nor piece of bark nor twig unturned..... except possibly for the one that the cache is reportedly hiding in. A few small muggle boys came up whilst we were there admiring the tree, grabbed a few sticks and then ran off to play Cowboys and Indians, Cops and Robbers or whatever it is young boys play these days when armed with sticks. I wonder.....

No luck for us on this one today. Time didn't allow for a great look around. Did manage to find a BIG huntsman who made us none the wiser to the hiding place of the cache and seemed less than enthused about our presence. Will be back again sometime to give this the proper effort we imagine it deserves.

Picked the right day with not many muggles around but no luck with this one. Was getting late in the day and we were in a rush. Will definately go back for another look soon.

We were spell bound by the magic of this cache. Definately a favourite point from us. Ms MajuraHathi had a premonition about this hide and she was right - amazing. She found it after we searched for quite a while. There was that steely eyed glow of success once it was found. An excellent cache, Cankid, many thanks.

Found after a pretty extensive search of the area. Lots of hiding holes, found were we didn't expect it to be. No clue was on the lid for this adventure, not sure where we go from here for that one. High muggles today with the sun out after a lot of rain.

L got to the location and groan, what a lot of places. It was one of those oh why didn't I check the difficulty before I tried caches. R & her friend went to play on the flying fox and it wasn't long after L found it. After all the record rain, the cache log was snug and dry. Loved the container. TFTC

A quick grab with Just a cacher between passing muggle joggers.

Thanks for the cache Cankid

An early morning grab between passing joggers. Thanks for the cache Cankid

Found at about 7am on a foggy Saturday morning so muggles were not a problem, but GPS reception was a bit all over the place. Once I narrowed down the area I turned and there it was. Dipped the TBs that I have on hand so that they know they are in Canberra. TFTC Cankid!

The rain had started but that was not going to deter me from this. It took me a few laps to see the object. The log was a bit hard to extract, but all was well. Thanks.

After reading the description and approaching GZ I let out a sigh and briefly considered if I really wanted to open that can of worms??? Surprisingly after only a very short look, I had the cache in hand! Not sure if it was luck or I had my cache senses tingling in overdrive ... It made for a great end to a nice 2 hour / 4 cache walk from the hotel, a great way to spend an evening after work while visiting Canberra. Maybe the difficulty rating reflects the time it took me to get the log back in the cache! TFTC CanKid

Spent part of the morning in this very nice park & lake after a trip over from South Aussie
Working with GUIO the find came to hand and was recognised.
Thanks for a good hide cankid

Well, we took Miss 4 over to the park this morning for a play, and then thought hmmm, wonder if there's any caches near here I haven't done. So, opened up the iphone app and sure enough, 3 caches very close by. Wasn't too sure I'd be able to find this one with a difficulty rating of 4, but being mid week there weren't too many muggles around. Inadvertently had my hand on the cache as soon as I got to GZ but didn't realise. Walked around in circles looking at GZ in dismay thinking I would never be able to find a nano there...rang geohubby at work to tell him it was a lost cause...and then Bingo! A great little hide...think it took me longer to get the log out of it's hidey hole than it did to locate the cache lol. Thanks again for a great hide

Out this side of town and dropped into the park to try this one. GPS had me going in circles to start with, but once it settled, the cache soon showed itself.

Thanks Cankid, the first of a few today.

5255. [font=Century Gothic][green]Wandered around once and then decided that the only safe spot would be around - here. And for once I was right. Top effort on the hide and nicely done. Top park this all the best cachers have hidden caches here.[:o)]

Almost ready to give up when, ha! that was it all along. TFTC

Very sticky indeed. Good hide, I liked it a lot. Thanks Cankid

Was visiting Canberra and grabbed a few caches with wombatatcrows.

This was our first find, and after some initial trepidation about how long this could take, I was lucky to make a reasonably quick find...

SL, TFTC,
Cheers,
Murf.

Found with Murf while he is on a quick visit to Canberra. #1 of 5 for the day. Interesesting hide.

Thanks For The Cache
Found with TeamBooo, Booo Booo and Booo's Dad
While on a geotrip to the Australian Capital Territory for a few days

Very easy and quick find as I have a similar cache myself thanks
It then took me ages to get geodaughter away from all the play equipments

Found with Geofamily

A quick find thanks as a smiliar hide and similar clue exists closer to home. TNLN-SL

A quick little find in a totally deserted park early in the morning, Thanks.

4339 + 342 = 4681. A quick find this afternoon.

This is a park I have visited many times either with my kids, attending events, or finding caches ! Walked up to GZ and found JesterAU also looking - a team effort soon came up with the find - a nicely hidden cache. Thanks Cankid - looking forward to the rest in the series ?!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Was looking for this and after picking it up and replacing it with out realising. I hear "What are you doing there!" as fitzy_1965 comes around the tree to join in the search. Afteer mentioning I was not able to find the cache yet. We searched some more and fitzy_1965 retrieves the cache. Kicking myself as I noted I had picked it up and put it back with out examining it properly. TFTC.

Nice sneaky hide , Miss Stormacatcher made the find in the dark tonight. Lucky the park was pretty empty around GZ. TFTC

I thought I might have been in the race but 3rd was mine.
There was an additional couple of points of difficulty due to a pair of snoggers in the near by shelter.
I felt a bit creepy hanging around but it didn't seem to other them too much.

Nice hide - and straight forward once the satellites aligned.

FtF at 1315ish. I was in the area finishing off the waypoints for 'A Pathtag Tour' when this one popped up. It was well within range, so I abandoned the tour and struck out on my own.

When the well-populated adventure playground loomed on the horizon my heart sank ('How am I going to justify crawling all over that - termite inspector?'), but then the compass swung away to a relatively Muggle-free area and the cache was soon in hand. The log was a tight fit and took a bit of manipulation to extract.

Just as I was preparing to re-stash the cache, a familiar face came steaming up - I'd managed to pip Tankengine at the post by mere minutes, and it was good to hang around and have a brief chat - I'm finding that meeting up with other cachers is almost better value than signing a blank log (I guess because the encounters - though quite rare - happen far more frequently than the firsts do! ).

Thanks Cankid for the cache, can't wait for the rest of the installments and to see where they finally lead.

Thought we may have had our ftf.. But no luck.. Nice location. Tftc

After an FTF on the puzzle in Holt, mr_roo and I headed over to this one and as expected got an FTF, just the Fourth and not the First.

Just realised that we didn't notice the clue though so may need to return one day[B)] TFTC Cankid.

There was a clue? Ooops didnt grab it but saw my brother in law at the park. He was there with the kids we walked right by them saying we just had to go for a cache and we will be back. Found with alittle bit of searching TFTC Cankid

Ah - a nice find - and not too many muggles on a weekday! But what happened to Horcrux 1-3... Thanks Cankid.
