From the location and the hint it looks like a temporary fence is blocking this cache.
Just catching up on logs from the past couple of weeks. A very spikey tree next to the cache made things interesting but we managed to grab it. Found with Ad0nis. TFTC!
Too tricky for us. I feel like it should be an easy one but we can't see it. There is a barrier around the corner for infrastructure works that stop us looking fully, so I hope that's why we've missed it.
Couldn’t get the official log out but signed the other piece of paper that was added to it. Few horses were out being trained/worked. Pretty interesting to watch
Been meaning to tick this fella off for ages. I drive right past this and the three others I did this morning on a regular basis and always saying to myself, next time. But this morning I decided I’d attack these 4 right after my morning run.
On my return trip, I popped into this little spot, but didn’t have any carrots, but the locals weren’t particularly interested anyway. There were quite a few cars in what is now a country club, possibly preparing for a wedding or the like.

Found with Littl3Vix. She made a quick find of this, we used the hint but I thought it best since there was a few cars driving past. Tftc!
What a beautiful old home!
I came down Menangle Park by train this morning. I'd never been on the motor rail before so that was a bit of extra fun.
My plan had this as the last cache for the day but rail workers at the station meant I couldn't look for the one there so I set off in the reverse direction. Friendly muggles along the way called out hello & horses came to the fence to greet me too.
Once at GZ I couldn't believe it, workers here too. Well I hadn't come this far to miss out so a bit of hanging on the fence & I could see the cache but extracting it & being stealthy took a lot more work!
Finally CIH, SL & cache replaced & I set off on my way to the next one.

Nice day for a bit of caching... the mystery is still afoot. I've got all the clues and just now collecting to unlock the vault.
Nice hidey spot. Thanks
Nice hidey spot. Thanks
Found with Firesafe and Moneydork on the last day of the OZ Geomuster 2019 Mega Event. A great weekend with many caches found. My apoligies for the generic log.
Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache.

Found with nissan 65 after a few days caching up from the south coast. Thanku for the cache .
Spotted quickly thanks to the hint but needed a "tool" to help retrieve it.

As per my found log, and as mentioned in previous logs, TLC required here.
Cache is very difficult to retrieve and is missing its lid.

#4450 (8 of 9 today)
Decided on a bit of caching down south after delivering the Geowife to the railway station for her Girls' weekend away.
A few annoying DNFs got in the way, particularly late in the day, and as I was floundering around at one location got a phone call re a card night at a friend's place - well no wife to answer to - I'm in. The kids can fend for themselves! Just means I have to head home earlier.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
And here was one that took ages.
When I arrived there was a workman near GZ. Luckily he was just finishing up, so a short wander to look at the houses was all I needed to have GZ to myself.
Quickly spotted what I thought was the container but couldn't retrieve it.
Went back to *The Hademobile* for some tools and a better torch.
Yep, that's the cache - and that's a huntsman right next to it.
Hoped the magnetic tool would provide an easy grab. Nope - all plastic!
Used a few other tools to try to get behind it but it took two tools to finally extract it after 20 minutes. The cache is missing the lid, but the log is good.
And the huntsman leapt out during the process - I think my heart rate is almost back to normal.
Completed signing duties and tried to replace in a way that would make it easier for the next finder. But of course the cache had other ideas. Sorry all.
This needs TLC.

Found but could not retrieve due to its new location. Long nose pliers needed perhaps.
Found it easily enought and then got it to a place where it will be very difficult to retrieve without the right tool.
I have contacted the owner with a thousand apologies.

SatNav had me approaching from a different direction than I expected but as soon as I arrived at GZ, recognised this as one I’d tried a year ago and come up empty handed. Checking back on the dates it was “replaced” a week or so later so didn’t feel as silly when I walked (sans gps) straight up to an easy find today.
Found 8.50 am Wed on a trip around the region .
This is what caching is all about .
Interesting locations.
Many thanks to The Boos.

DNF Called by on a rush past, had a quick look but nothing stood out, certainly not in the most obvious places. I will return when I have more time.

I will return when I have more time.Catching up on some cache logging for caches collected in January 2017. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to log them and then forgot – Sorry !! Had no problems finding, Thanks for the cache The Booos.
Out for a drive to get a few learner hours up and grabbed this one. Had me stumped for a bit until I spied what I needed to see. Thanks.
TFTC #253. Nice quick find, drive past here ALL the time can't believe we have never stopped. No creepy crawlies to be seen but nice fresh web nearby. Thanks The Booos
Found this one almost straight away but it took us a while to extract it from its spot... mainly because there was a giant fat brown fury creature with 8 legs sitting on top of it....eeek! Once carefully removed, signed and replaced we were glad to be on our way.. far far away from this one. Great cache otherwise! Thanks Boos for showing us another great area.
