Logs
Nothing I can see. Not even the bag or the bison tube. Clearly needs some maintenance
There is clearly no log or cache here in the pole based on what we saw today. Certainly needs some maintenance
Marking this as a find but log is missing, only plastic bag remaining
Needs maintenance badly
Needs maintenance badly
Found the cache, however as others have previously mentioned, the bison tube is long gone. Maintenance is required on this cache to make it accessible. Without the required tool handy I was unable to retrieve the bag and log to sign. Attached photo to show I found the location.
Came back to this one after not finding it a few years ago. Found it but could not get the log out, tried using tweezers. Anyway was a cool little spot
Found the clever camo and half the bag. No log sheet. Needs a check/maintenance. TFTC Frisky_puppet
Combined find for Creamy Garlic and Dianne. Great hide but needs some TLC, no log or clear evidence of a cache. We used previous activity to help us
Tftc Team Tonka, located this cache rather quickly this morning.
Enjoyed our drive to GZ. Thanks

Our first find of today. Took a minute to find GZ but then didn't take too long in finding the cache. TFTC!
Out caching with GeoIan for the day. Well I quite enjoyed this one. Obvious spot but took a while to get to the cache. GeoIan was onto it and soon had cache in hand. A fav from me. TFTC
We just finished the Fernleigh track trail, and was thinking we needed one more to Reach the Peak. This was the next closest, but madrabbitoh did not like it, for the DNF's of late. I mentioned they were only newbs, so we should give it a go. Soon as i saw it, i knew it was there, but we searched every other structure, just to be sure. Luckily i had a Tool of a Trade (not a TOTT) to enable us to open it, then needed a TOTT to retrieve it. Little baggie is completely ripped, and we only had a supply of large baggies, that would not fit. I dont think it will be getting wet antime soon anyway. Nice under your nose hide. TFTC.
Out for the day caching with Bissetninjas. Thanks Frisky_puppet for placing the cache. This would be cache find number 107 for me.TFTC.
Couldnt find it, dont know if it is still here. If it is, then its a real good hiding spot. And they're were council workers here so we tried to be discrete.
Found with My Dad (DJANT) and my Brothers (dart16 & Jedi Anakin) I have my own account now and am trying to catch up to the boys Thanks Frisky Puppet for all the caches.
I thought thos cache was very clever and was glad I made the long walk to get here before I made my way to lunch as the day heated up. All good at GZ. Found, signed and stamped. TfTc!
Was in the area today so stopped by for this one - a quick find on a cache camo I've seen used elsewhere!

We’re newbies and this is the first one of these we’ve come across. Very clever
Last one for the morning - I had about 10 minutes to give me enough time to get coffee and be at training. In the end once the GPS settled down didn’t need that much - hide is sneaky but seen enough of these before to pick up quickly.

The day after my birthday decided i needed to sweat some poison out of the system but i think the mozzies did that for me.Tricky litte hide for a bloke with a fuzzy brain.TFTC
We are travelling up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Redhead, for a short weekend getaway at the Redhead Beach Holiday Park, and grabbing a few roadside “park & grab” caches enroute. On Sunday we will be attending the Geocaching NSW “Newcastle Expedition - Memorial Park” Event at Stockton, then zigzagging our way back down to Redhead in an attempt to log 7 unique cache types (Event, Traditional, Multi, Mystery, Letterbox, Virtual, and EarthCache) on that same day, and gathering any other conveniently located caches along the way. This was the 23rd of 24 finds for the day (day #2), and the 35th of 52 finds for the weekend.
After finding a few caches along the Fernleigh Track we were now heading towards the Whitebridge shops to find something for dinner, but stopped off at this one as we were passing. Quickly spotted something interesting and, on closer inspection, it was CIH. Didn't find a bison tube, as indicated in the cache description, but did find a log sheet which was duly signed and then replaced as found. Nice camo job on this one. TFTC Team-Tonka.

Spending a couple of nights in Newcastle, good to catch up with geocaching friends
After visiting the supermarket we made a quick stop to find this cache.
Once at GZ we knew where the cache should be & replaced it for the CO who was notified. We have a hide similar to this at Port Macquarie which made helped.
A variety of cache types & hides found.

Don't know how we missed this on 2 previous occasions, but set to right this time. TFTC
Brilliant cache, Team-Tonka! A favourite point from me. I did wonder if it was still there, given that it's been a while since it was last found.
Thanks for the cache, trackables visited and I signed the log.

I headed out with Joolay today with the aim to help her achieve as many cache types in a day as she could. We picked up this Trad on our way out from the CITO. Nice little hide but it didn't have us fooled for long. FP from me though - cool cache !
Excellent design and a nice, quiet spot for a quick retrieval, following our participation in the nearby OzGeoMuster Gumboot Flash Mob event
Nice hide! I'm in town visiting family for Christmas and decided I would walk off all my Christmas food by finding some newcastle caches. TFTC
We are staying in the area for a few days and happily we were able to find this cache. What a beautiful location. Thanks to Frisky_puppet for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Very clever hide. Didn't have any TOTT, but Cloger used a bit of of ingenuity and the cache was in hand. TFTC
Thanks so much for this cache. It was nice to see a clever hide. Loved the history about the race track. TFTC
Quick find in a sneaky hide
Found while wife in theater at Lake Mac hospital. Tftc

After finishing the toolbox series (mostly), decided to get this one on the way home as it had a few favourite points. Quickly spotted the cache at GZ, as I've seen a few like this before. These are always great to find, as they have great camo. TFTC!!! #1050
Found it on a sunny Friday while staying in the area. I've seen this type of camo before and I still get stumped to start with. TFTC and have a favourite point for the effort.
On the way to Glendale to watch a gymnastics competition. Took a geo-detour to visit some caches near the Fernleigh Track area. Tally for the day, 19 Finds/1 DNF. This was the sixteenth find for the day.

After a very informative class at the nearby geo lessons. I mentioned it was my 3 year cacheiversary so Team Tonka and NellC kindly offered to go with me to find a cache to mark the occasion . This was the closest unfound for me . I really liked the camo , a fav point for this one as I havn't seen any like this . Thanks for the cache Team Tonka tnln sl
After attending HAVOCs Geo 101 classes this one was found with Mighty Minions and CO while doing a quick maintenance run.
Found the cache in a brilliant piece of camo and retrieved no problem without any TOTT. Thanks for this excellent hide!

After doing the tool box series we had a bit of spare time before starting the fernleigh track so we grabbed this cache.
Nice hide

Had a fantastic time finding this cache today with Gazkersh and Tilly. Absolutely LOVE the camo. Signed log. TFTC Team-Tonka! Favourite point from me
Nice - wasn't expecting such an evil one after 'Tennis', the logs do seem to give the game away, and it didn't turn out too hard, especially given what was seen at GZ.... excellent co-ordinates... TFTC
Found after picking up my son from the in-laws after work. This time I brought the required tools of the trade, as I had done reconnaissance very recently. I asked junior if he wanted to stay in the dry warm car or come outside in the cold wet night. He chose car (he got a good view as the headlights were pointed right on GZ). I almost could not get the cache, but I did not give up and finally got it. I took the bison back to the car to sign with Junior. Before putting the cache back, I used a little something to make it not stick (which it looks like it worked as the previous log must have found the cache after me, but will work less with every find). Maybe the difficulty should be raised a little (especially as most of the finders used TOTTs).
Thanks for showing us this hidden field, horse track and the great cache!

Found it second time around. I tried finding this one the other day whilst trying to show a five year old what geocaching was. I thought a 1.5/1.5 would be easy however we failed to to find it. Thinking about it later i thought i knew where it might be located. so driving to another cache nearby i stopped in to see if my suspicions were correct. I think they are however i don't have the correct tool. So i found the required tool at home and put it in my car. I stopped by again on the way home from work today and quickly found and signed the log. What a unique hide i haven't seen one like it before. TFTC
Had a good look for this one, and figure it must be in either one of two places requiring special equipment, going off all the logs. Will come back equipped for both.
