Need to check

Tried contacting CO two weeks ago. This simple cache has been MIA for 9 months. Still to here from said CO, asked if he was still in the game.

Searched and searched but no luck

Found hook but geocache was MIA

Only spent 10 minutes but seems likely it’s missing. Will look again but a hint or reassurance that it’s still there would be nice.

Will follow other comments and assume it’s MIA. Cache needs owner maintenance or confirmation it’s still there.

I really believe this is MIA! All the trappings with no prize!

Searched the area carefully- all we found was some wire hanging in the tree!

Haha do you ever wonder how something can be pretty much staring you right in the face and yet you can't see it?! Tftc!

How on earth did they remove that tree without disturbing the cache!

TFTC

Quick find by MrD. Not stumped by the hide. TFTC

Bit of a mess around GZ with a tree being chopped down but just as I thought things would get tough I spotted the cache in front of me! A wonder the tree lopping didn't disturb it! TFTC!

Found it

Took a while!

This one took a bit but eventually found it, I was standing right next to it the whole time! Thankyou

This was promising to be a difficult hide - but then by chance one of the geo kids slipped and in doing so found it !

Pretty easy find although I walked straight past it

Needed help but found it. Hard find.

Tftc - surprisingly easy and quick

We were just a bit concerned about this one, not having been found in a while, but it turned out to be pretty simple. TFTC!

Easy find and in good condition. I didn’t have a pen so have just logged in the app.

Sneaky but found

Very tricky but soon found

Found with bedlem2

Found!

Found surprisingly quickly, normally these sorts of caches take me forever to spot.

Got it this time!! Thanks for the hide.

Out with BF7 picking up more caches around this area and surrounds.
Thanks to the COs for the hides that we found and the fun that was had.

Nice quick find today. TFTC

Found. Nice and easy.

Found it

Out for the day caching with Oldmorty, down and around Picton. A great day was had.
Checked out photos for a hint
Thanks for the cache

Another early start for a days caching with caching buddy marj01. The plan was to pick up where we left off last week and visit the towns of Camden South, Razorback, Thirlmere and Couridjah. Lots of caches were found quite quickly while some others took a little longer and a few we didn't find at all. Once again there were a few ingenous caches amongst the usual film canisters, mint tins and sistemas of varying shapes and sizes. Thank you to all the CO's for hiding and maintaining the caches visited today.

Easy although, at the same time, difficult one to find.. maybe because it a micro cache in bushy terran. Gotta search in the correct spot to find this one as I started off in the wrong location
Thanks for the cache

#4751 (9 of 10 today)

No finds yesterday, so cache binge today. And back to my current favourite caching area Thirlmere / Tahmoor. And still at least one firetrail powertrail still to find.
But today I grabbed random caches starting just north of Bargo.

Found 10 but DNFed three (of which I suspect only one is actually MIA). Even got some unloved days on one. Bargain!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
How I hate micros in the bush - especially without meaningful hints.
Took too long to finally spot it. I was looking a metre of two away, but that really does make all the difference in this terrain.

Finally made the find and completed signing duties. Now I'm a bit later than I wanted... Still one more nearby.

Nice addition to the list

Not too hard, the hardest part was getting the log out of the container. Previous logs help.

Will try another day

Finalf29 and I had such an enjoyable time yesterday, we decided to come back and raid Camden some more today. We did a lot more walking and had two DNF's, but still came up with fifteen for the arvo.

This was our first for the day. OK our geosenses haven't warmed up yet. My GPS was pointing to a large tree... good search around base and nothing. Followed geotrail up, but it's not on the barrier. Finalf29 had another search near the big tree and found the sneaky cache... should gave trusted my GPS. Didn't needed to hang around after signing duties... so off to the next cache. Thanks

Out and about with Happy Uke again today. We were out to help clear the world of some nogood dirty caches that had worn out their welcome.

Happy Uke's geo co-ordinates were spot on on this one but it still took us a little while to find.

Thanks.

Thank you!!

Not pleasant in the rain with the wet trees but success. TFTC.

Enjoyed a day with Ausfeet, the nephews and the aussie greythounds!
We found 9 caches today and had 1 DNF

This was find #5. Gave Ausfeet a chance to find the cache then went and grabbed it after she failed :p Drove down into the golf club to show the nephews the ghost houses too, was so busy here today!

TFTC WunElle!

attempted this one a few times, but now someone has replaced the cache, tftc

Day out caching with cullum68 thanks for the cache

Found with nissan 65. On a 2 night caching trip from the south coast. Thanks for the cache

Found with Lucky Cricket and Little Cricket. A nice night cache thanks for the replacement cache Bonfire7. TFTC

Found this with 007 Mushu and Little Cricket while late night caching. TFTC

found with lucky cricket and 007 mushu, TFTC

Great one

With it being school holidays I had a few days off with the kids so we decided to head towards Thirlmere to grab a few caches. This was one of the ones we found today.

Spied the replacement cache nice and quickly.
Thanks

I also found the ring on the tree but nothing spotted on the ground,
I hung a new black bison next to the ring on the tree,
Cheers

At gz and this looks like what cache was hanging off. Quick look on ground
Nothing. Co to check

No luck today

Tftn

Found it this time,may have been on ground before,replaced in same position found tftc

Found ! On the floor. Hung in tree

Spent 25 minutes here, without success, seems may have disappeared as last time found in December when finder had to put fashion a piece of wire and put back in approx. location
, probably need CO to check it out

No luck for me today but thanks for the drive!!

Perhaps the ghosts got this one, because I certainly couldn't find it after 20 minutes.

Finally on third visit found.GPS first took me 70 metres down the road. Turned it off and on again the back to where i started. Some searching around the trees and then spotted it on the ground. Went to the fence opposite and got a bit of wire to make a loop and returned it to where i thought it should have been. Maybe needs looking at. TFTC Gotcha16

Found possible location, but cache missing?

Got this one from Jarvisfield road which seemed like the safer option for parking. Parked the car and before we could get the GPS on, one eager beaver in our group followed a cacher trail and made the find in a matter of seconds. Helps to have a tall person in the group. Thanks for the cache and the series.

Caching with StumbleTrip today, as a previous finder on this one she called out “warm, warmer..” as my arrow took it’s time settling. When I still found nothing where I was “hot”, she was about to come confirm cache placement when something shiny caught my eye from a different perspective and logging duties were completed. ST couldn’t remember if it was the same positioning, subject to cache creep or paranormal activity but definitely the same tree.

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

I found this cache jointly with TOC and now I have my own account I am claiming my finds. My caching name is not in the log book though as I didn't have one. I can cache on my own now. Thank you for the hide.

Arrived at 2:05pm and set off for GZ, soon we had CIH, signed log, returned to its hide'y hole. Thanks for an interesting cache. Didn't go into Jarvisfield today, maybe next trip.

Like looking for a needle in a haystack this one. Owner from nearby property came out with his garbage and saw me hanging about. I did not see the cache hanging about though. Will try again another time Gotcha 16

Found it
Thanks

With emyal91 TFTC

Found with maree63 and lisberlin

Uuh, a tiny one!!!

TFTC

Found the cache on the ground! It had obviously fallen from its intended location.

Just hanging in there..

Thanks for the cache. Grabbed with Sol and Fitzy on a Sunday tour of the area.

9738 + 1095 = 10833. Found during a run up through this region with ZZ7 and Sol de Lune.

Left Canberra at 0630 and at -5 Degrees ! Drove to Colo Vale where we started our caching. After doing a big loop we started heading home this way. This was a quick find. We were soon off to the next one.

Thanks WunElle !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Not sure if the hide is as the CO intended, but we found it and all was good. Not sure how long it will there though.

Log signed and we moved on...thanks WunElle...

After a nice morning tea nearby, a quick find. Thanks to WunElle.

Tftc, visited trackables.

#3,519

Canary told me to drive to the side street & come back rather than stopping by the side of the road, sensible idea!

Bikerbuddy looked in one direction, I looked in another & spotted the cache. Not sure if it still as it was originally placed, as it doesn't look that secure.

Thanks

We were heading south in search of a new Wherigo cache, but this one seemed close on our way. However, we still had to head a few hundred metres down the road and then turn right on a side road to find the appropriate place to stop and look for the cache. I thought this might be a needle in a haystack search, however Toriaz found it relatively quickly in a similar place to where I was looking, only a few metres away. Thanks

Slip, slide, I found it. It doesn't appear a secure placement. TFTC WunElle.

#3034- The last of this series that I could attempt today while in the area, since the other two are disabled at present. I stopped on the side of the highway, jumped the fence, nearly trod on a poor, dead fox and followed the trail down. Back and forth up and down the slope- I was just about to leave when I spotted it- strange spot, but then I guess that's why I didn't spot it immediately. Came back to the car, covered in grasshoppers and spent half an hour picking them off.
I will now have an excuse to come back to the area again when the other two are back online. Thanks

Found it,Logged it, NEXT!!!
After putting my hand on it about 5 time I finally found it!!
Tftc!

Took longer than it should have. Moved to a different angle and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC. Just realised I put tomorrows date on it.

Decided to drive down to view the old homestead and was feeling a little out of place in geomobile surrounded by the BMWs of this sunny Sunday. Quick park and grab. No sightings today, though.

Found whilst on the way to a job in the area. I did have a quick unsuccessful look for this cache about 12 months back during a bike-mounted assault on a few Picton caches. This time I spotted it straight away, wedged up high. Many thanks WunElle

I was sent in to find this one.. Not too secure, let's see how it goes..

Very obvious, yet not in the obvious place. Clever work.

Credit to rassilon256's eagle eyes for spotting this perched cache. Picton caching adventure almost complete... TFTC

Ahh there it is - good work rassilon! Our second last one in today's grand tour of Picton.

All credit to rassilon256. Thanks for driving us here and finding the cache!

Clever hide, TFTC.

Hi Found it on the ground just before giving up put back in a possible location. TFTC

Sorted

No luck today

Found! Still in the bark

You know the story Boss...I wasn't planning to come this way, but I'm glad I did. This one has a new log inside and I have the original in my car. It has the Booos and FTF, so I thought you'd like to keep it. If I had had my full kit in the car, I could have put a hook in the tree. As it stands now, the cache is precariously placed in some bark.

This was a quick drive by cache. Must admit I was a bit disappointed with this one. I parked on the busier of the 2 roads to access this one, which wasn't ideal. I found the cache almost by accident when I turned around and there it was perched up out in the open. It wasn't secure in its location at all and the log book is in pieces now. This cache could be improved if relocated and re secured a bit better and given new log book. None the less TFTC.
