With the last four logs being DNF's, I wasn't hopeful about this one. However, I did search around for a while, and checked previous logs for clues, but in the end, I had to admit defeat. I hope it's still there.

Cheers for the cache

Found this afternoon while out caching with Omegaman1971 grabbing a few caches around Burwood, this one was soon located after a short deviation from the main walk way and it was soon located, TFTC Tomia.

Nice little find... Would have been quicker but the mini muggles just would not leave...
 
28-Feb-16
Quick find if the muggles had not been hanging around with their bikes. Had to wait till they rode off before checking the area properly.
 
28-Feb-16
Nice park for a walk. There where some mini muggles around GZ therefore it look longer then it should of.

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.
 
Revisited this one while on a Saturday afternoon bike ride.

Im loving the fact the sun is rising early this time of year. It means an opportunity to grab the odd cache before work.
Heading off this morning, headed out first for a walk and grabbed this while out there.

Coordinates changed from:
S 37° 51.301 E 145° 07.234

Coordinates changed to:
S 37° 51.302 E 145° 07.221

Distance from original: 62.8 feet or 19.1 meters.
I have updated my coordinates as they were slightly out.
 
07-Nov-15
Found it today while taking a detour from the Gardiner's Creek Trail to get a couple of caches. As mentioned by previous logs, the coordinates are slightly off.
Tftc
 
03-Nov-15
Thanks loggers for the coordinate update. Easy find and enough cover to keep the muggles from noticing. Tftc.
 
03-Nov-15
Thanks for the find Smile Found by the geokids, with brong too.
 
01-Nov-15
After reading in past logs that the cache was a little West of the advertised location, I was able to start my search directly at the "true" GZ. Unfortunately the cache was a little exposed, and I spotted it in all of 2 seconds :\
I made sure to hide it a little better this time, although it will still be obvious to the experienced cacher.
 
29-Oct-15
Nice cache.
As mentioned in previous logs, the cache is about 15m west of coordinates.
Thank you for the cache.
Cycling Guy
 
28-Oct-15
Coordinates are out by about 15m
The two TB's listed are not to be found. You need to contact the TB owners to find out what they want to do. ie list as missing
Cheers

After looking for a while I read some previous logs realized we would have to expand our search. Not long after Bradman7777 came up with the goods. Buffyelmo and I leave rather itchy. Should remember to wear long pants. Tftc
 
04-Oct-15
Bradman7777 was here! (>_
 
04-Oct-15
Another find with geo mummy (hergab69) and geo boyfriend (bradman7777)
Took us a little longer then expected but we did it
 
29-Sep-15
Took us a bit longer to find this one that it should have. Both our gps units had the hide about 18 metres from gz, but we still managed to nab the slippery little sucker. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
 
29-Sep-15
Both the TB's logged into this cache are obviously long gone. Time to log them out to bring the inventory up to date.
 
21-Sep-15
Nice easy one for the start of the school holidays.
 
20-Sep-15
great hide! but like others said, it's a few meters west from the coordinates provided. please update Smile
also, our distant relatives spiders have a home right where the cache is, so beware! Smile

Others appear to have had trouble locating this one, but we found it in a short time. Trees playing a bit of havoc with the GPS so just used our geocaching senses.
 
01-Sep-15
We were grateful for the previous logs to give a heads up on the coords as we could have spent a long time looking in a much trickier spot than a 1.5! Spotted the usual camo and glad to see the cache was in good nick. TFTC
 
23-Aug-15
Took a while to track this one down, until I read the previous logs and headed west. There it was,14m from coords. Cheers!
 
13-Aug-15
Found it!!
Took 15min of searching to find as its 10-15m west of what location said. Nicely hidden Smile
 
10-Aug-15
Coordinates abit out, so I had to widen my search. Nice hide tftc
 
08-Aug-15
Coordinates were a bit out (I had to go around 10m west), otherwise all good in the hood.
 
04-Aug-15
A quick find in the freezing cold on the way home from picking geoson from school. A few jogging muggles around!
 
02-Aug-15
Found it. Important to expand your search, coordinates are off. Nice spot.

King and King

Nearly at our 2K find and this was the closest. Gee I was here 35 years ago as a cub across the road and my sister in the hall behind.

Nor far to go now. An easy find that king Sr as we approached. No TBs but none the less a good hide.

Our thanks to tomia
 
18-Jul-15
Find #5 today. An expanded search area led to a quick find. Luckily enough cover to avoid being seen by muggles walking, riding and kicking a footy. SL TNLN Thanks Tomia.
 
16-Jul-15
A good find on this chilly Friday night. Having a torch assisted greatly and the cache was found after a bit of nosing around. TFTC

Found by Facitman at 13:18
As the end of the month approached I was keen to get a few caches to add to the one event for the month. As I headed home from a family errand I had time to stop at a few caches, this was the first. Like previous finders I found the cache fairly easily once I expanded my search area, a quick log and re hide.
Thanks Tomia
 
21-Jun-15
Was an easy find! Smile

Very easy to find

Logged with GCDroid.
 
04-Jun-15
Found it! Despite some rain there were a couple of muggles around to dodge, but luckily there was enough distance and vegetation to hide me while I was going for the cache. Coords a little out, but once I expanded my search radius I quickly made the grab. Thank you!
 
24-May-15
Found cache with Kelsalls4. About 12 metres out tftc
 
24-May-15
Found eventually 13m out. Tftc

Great hide! Found with RandomPaigey. Visited after being unsuccessful at the BYO H2O ? cache.

This was near our meeting point, so while we waited for the last member of our party, SirJ-Oz head us to this cache, which he had found before, and Sharkiefan and I soon made the find. We picked this cache up at 9:57am.

A plan was hatched for a group caching session for Mystery May. This turned out to be rather more complicated than one of our usual combined caching sessions. Not only did we have to find caches that none of us had found, but also that all 4 of us had solved. Annoying Tarbit, SirJ-Oz, Sharkiefan and I met up in Burwood, cached our way north to Doncaster, then headed west as far as Williams town. It was a big day, with 17 finds for me, and a solid contribution to Mystery May. Thanks for the cache Tomia .
 
03-May-15
This was a little trickier than expected. We looked at previous logs to help point us in the right direction. No TBs there anymore. Thanks Tomia.
 
28-Apr-15
Nothing more gratifying than turning a DNF into a Found it! Alansee found the cache a fair way from where we started our search. Got there in the end!
Thanks for the cache, Tomia.
 
28-Apr-15
Found with Listmaker today. As we approached GZ we both recalled one that we had had a DNF on a little while back. It was almost certainly this although the GPS had us in a slightly different location. At first we found nothing but on reading previous logs it became an easy find, some 12m west.
 
21-Apr-15
Quick detour on the way home to have a look for this. Managed to spot the hide straight off, which was pleasing. Lovely and quiet in the park! TFTC
 
18-Apr-15
Found this one a little west of the co-ordinates. tftc
 
12-Apr-15
With help from previous logs, easy find with Zach Saines
 
11-Apr-15
A nice little cache and a good collection of swappables.
 
08-Apr-15
Needing a cache today for my p366 effort decided this close to work one would be perfect. Parked nearby and took the pleasant walk to GZ where I looked all around with nothing about. Had a read of previous logs, expanded the search area and found it. Thanks to Tomia for this one
 
05-Apr-15
Good hiding spot
 
31-Mar-15
We found it ! Easy find . It was nicely hidden under a tree . Shouldnt give away too much info.
 
29-Mar-15
we know a tom, but perhaps not this one. cache was found 15 metres to the west of the coordinates, it was in a strange location under some freshly chainsawed trees. i don't think this is where it was suppose to be so i placed some swaps in and sighted it at the base of a tree, this seemed like the logical spot.
 
28-Mar-15
Catch was out in plain sight when found, so i covered it up with some nearby sticks
Quick and easy, tftc
 
21-Mar-15
21/03/2015 Found @ 1:48 am, Find # 4210.

After my aborted attempt at finding all of the Pi caches on my Pi hunt, I was now heading for home, but along the way there were still a few caches to find, this was one of them.
This one had me in circles and the GPSr was also indicating that the cache was on the other side of the fence.
With no clear location and so many places it could be, as well as being so late I was ready to leave when the cache suddenly appeared.

Thanks to Tomia for placing this cache.
 
14-Mar-15
Making our way to middle child's work to pick him up we thought a few caches on the way were in order. Cache in good condition, TFTC.
 
05-Mar-15
After having lunch nearby, this was the closest cache to where my car was parked. The mobile phone went a bit crazy with narrowing down GZ but after spotting a likely hiding spot it didn't matter. tftc
 
02-Mar-15
I was out this way a few weeks ago but didn't bother having a look for this one as it appeared to be missing based on the logs back then. I was nearly going to do the same this morning until I noticed that it had been replaced so I dropped in for a search and quickly had the stash in hand at 06:30. Big Grin

And whaddaya know, I even got an FTF(itNLB). Wink

TNLNSL, although our night find geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Tomia.

PS: There was no sign of the [url=http://coord.info/TB2VXRE]Bugs Bunny TB Racer[/url] or [url=http://coord.info/TB5BEAH]Toby The Travel Turtle[/url] trackables in the cache.

Have just replaced this cache, sorry for delay in doing this. I have moved the cache a very short distance from the old cache to protect it from muggles.....Wink
 
06-Feb-15
The cache has been moved/stolen by some muggles so I am going to replace it in the next day or so. Tom 07/02/2015
 
05-Feb-15
A DNF along with Listmaker. We searched everything (or at least felt we did) within about 20 metres to no avail. It is clear that there has been some cutting work done here and that some things have been cleared away. Hopefully the cache is still there somewhere.
 
01-Feb-15
Freshly cut tree stump. Possibly where it used to be? Did not find. Please check and rehide if not there.
