Bunya "Slippery when Wet" Bungarribee, New South Wales, Australia
By Deputy D0g on 05-Oct-14. Waypoint GC5E7EZ

This area has changed for the worse with no maintenance...

will archive this one

Checked this one out and seems to have gone missing
Will replace soon

No luck for me here today, despite a solid search over 15-20mins. There was one spot that I refused to investigate by sticking my hand in due to a growing aversion to snakes. I'll try another day once I know it's here

You have shown us a new place and increased our experiences of your country and it is what helps make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Unfortunately after a good look around we didn't find the cache this time.

Once again, we looked for this one, twice, pretty sure I know where it may but I am not tripple-jointed and cannot investigate properly.

Found this one while out with Coybear2000. We had to keep an eye out for muggles, they seemed to appear out of nowhere. It took us a few minutes of searching, then C read a few previous logs and we had a better idea. Eventually had CIH. TFTC

3rd for the day with Trodectus. Took a little while trying to work which corner from the hint as compass did not agree. T had CIH after a few minutes searching his corner. TFTC

Had another good look but gave up after 30 minutes.

#414 - Garmin eTrex 30

This was the only find for today. As per my previous log, I looked for this cache after the April rain and thought it was washed away but the most recent find spurred me on as it also filled a missing date on my dates hidden calendar. I also had my refurbished Garmin as last time, the compass wasn't reliable so I couldn't tell which direction was which as per the hint. This time I knew which corner to look in and after getting on hands and knees but trying to avoid the soft ground, I looked underneath and felt around blindly. Sure enough, at the most awkward angle, I felt the cache and sure enough, it made my shoulder spasm. Luckily, I had tweezers which me to extract the log which is jammed in pretty tight. SL. TFTC.

Not so easy as first thought. Lots of muffles around so I decided to give if a miss.

From The 4 sided Bridge move on here, but not convinced it's here by reading recent logs. Give it a go anyway since I'm so close, and yes the cache is there. What is harder though is retrieving the log. Make my own tweezers and manage to get it out. Sign and return. TFTC.

Have you replaced cache container yet?

Given my quick success with ‘Bunya – 3 Pillars’, I thought it would be a good idea to check a nearby cache near a bridge. I took in all of the past logs and the hint but came up empty-handed. The CO might want to check this cache as the bridge has a lot of dried silt on it indicating it was underwater during the previous rains.

I had a red hot go, in the pouring rain.
Still without success. The light was fading so I call Ris768 to see what she was doing in this crappy weather. Luckily she was fairly close so after on last look I headed over to "Two Sided Bridge" where Dkmacca & Ris768 were trying not to get washed away.
I'll return to get this cache in better weather, the creek was flowing fast and mud was everywhere...

TFTH though... Ended up wet and cold... Will survive....

The things we do to maintain a streak hey...

#2962- I had been here once before, but somehow, despite always doing a DNF, I must have missed this one. Last time it had been raining heavily and by the time I left, without a trace of the cache, I was knee deep in mud and filthy.
Today I checked firstly the spots I had before, and found the cache quickly, just as the clue said. Sometimes life's like that.

Had a look, no find for us today sadly.

#1612 (1 of 9 today)

Decided to head west today to grab more of the caches out Glendenning way. The pleasant stroll through the park lands yielded 8 finds, but also a number of DNFs (and one DNAttempt).

First cab off the rank.
I started where the iPhone pointed me - but found nothing. Hmmm, decided to check the recent logs and spotted Maruce's log. OK, I'll try there... CIH.

Very confusing, but at least I have it now. Do agree, though that where it is now matches the hint.

I searched the easier side without reading logs or hint. I swapped sides and actually searched the corner the hint indicated. I then read some logs and discovered that the other corner gave the prize. I moved it so that the hint is correct. TFTC.

This find would have been so much easier if I could actually work out which direction was which. I was scrabbling around all over the place until I realised I hadn't orientated myself correctly. Once I followed the hint properly I took a seat and quickly had the CIH. The grey clouds were about to close in and I wasn't sure if I could finish the rest of the series off, but I headed towards "Fig Tree" and hoped for the best.

We had done a few of these earlier in the series so on seeing another headed other. Initial looks failed to turn up the contain and then we looked at the previous logs to see a run of DNF's so we were concerned. A check of the hint, yep in the right spot. A little cautious of the long grass and some mention of snakes but ventured a little further and felt the hid. The log book is a tight fit but we eventually got it out. We completed the signing duties and re hid TFTC.

No luck with this one.

Back into geocaching again with pills123, why do I struggle with bridges ? TFTC

found it but the area is starting to get overgrown by weeds.
also on way out dad almost hit some indian guy walking in the middle of the street as we came around a corner just after leaving

Scared off by the snakes!! A local walker said " be careful I've seen a black snake there" and sure enough there was a snake sunning himself. Think he was a red bellied black, then I when I moved away he had gone but there was a little brown head looking around ?? brown snake!! Didn't wait to find out what type. Be careful!!

We looked in the right area to begin with, but didn't spot the cache. Then a previous log distracted me, so we looked on the wrong side. Then bikerbuddy had an inspiration, went back to the right side & found the cache.

Thanks

Toriaz and I found this in the dark. A quick preliminary look didn't turn up the cache. Toriaz read a log that suggested the hint might be inaccurate, so we searched both sides. I went to the side opposite to that suggested by the hint. While I was there I noticed something about the construction that I hadn't noticed at first and I figured I knew where the cache was. So I went back to the other side and found the cache easily. The clue seemed fine to me. Thanks

Found it on my way home from work

Walked down from the nearby Four-Sided Bridge that I couldn't find. Somewhat better luck here, after checking a couple of spots made the feel soon enough. Looks slippery, I wonder if the council will get sued when someone comes off their bike in the rain? Thanks Deputy D0g.

#187.... After tackling the 4 Sided Bridge we strolled up to the cache (after a few pats with a couple of cute puppies!) and tried for number 2 for the night. There were quite a few Muggles about ......it's funny how many pens and keys you "loose" under a bridge while you're out caching! We ignored the clue and had he cache in hand after a couple of search attempts. TFTC

OH DEAR Look full mud and we trying to find cache but my legs and hands is mud...We trying find under snall Bridge but cant of full mud on around .... DNF for us....

6063 Caches Found

Not this trip anyway. Mud Mud Mud

Thanks for the great Adventure Deputy D0g(8D)

On my way out to pick up YGAT, I took a different route from normal and got caught up in some road changes that accidently sent me into the Bunya Estate. When I realised where I was, I recalled there was a new cache in the Bunya series to be found, so I loaded it on to my phone and was directed to a parking spot within just a few metres of GZ.

The temperature was well over 40° so it was a bit of a shock getting out of an air-conditioned car. However, I used the information in the previous log and quickly found the cache so I was not out in the heat for long. I didn’t test the surface of the bridge but I’m sure it wasn’t slippery today.

Nice one, thanks Deputy D0g.

I searched the SE corner for no result, but I had success in the SW section..Thanks DD.

Streak day #11 Quick find with Gambit817. Lost my pen somewhere so I took a photo!

(date was wrong, had to edit)

Such a great hide, once the housing construction is complete, might prove a challenge to become stealthy. Funny thing is the log book seems to be bigger than the cache container opening, thus extraction over time has damaged the zip lock bag. Thanks DD, love your hides.

Streak Day #467 - Met up with ris768 to attempt this one again and what a difference it made when searching on the opposite side. TFTC

Again met up with snoopy to give this one another go seeing as everyone else has not had a problem finding it. Again frustration hit and I was considering PAF. Decided to get off my knees and try the south western end of the bridge and put my hand straight on the cache. Arrgghhh SL #1648 on streak day #838 TFTC

Found on 18th saturday easy find

12/10/14. 6:53 AM. Cache #1927. Streak day #112. I headed out to the northwest to pick up a few unfound caches from 2014, starting with this one. It's such a new part of Bungarribee that Apple maps had told me to park the car and walk from a couple of blocks from where I actually did because it didn't register streets here.

A couple out walking their dogs go past, so I wait till the coast is clear before I start searching. Tried somewhere, felt nothing, then another area. Then the couple with their dogs are heading back and saying something to me - whoops have I been busted? I then realise they're calling out where it is - whew - they're cachers! With a little extra help I made the find. I then hear him, still a ways off, say that the man is "just looking for daddy's cache". Ohhhh, it's the CO. Nice to (sort of) meet you DD! Back to the car to head to "A cache for RIS 768". TFTC }:)

Out and about, doing a little sightseeing and picking up some caches.
Glad we were here early, as it looks as though it could get quite busy here.
Cache found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Deputy D0g, for us and others to find.

Took a little while to locate but BD came up with the goods while TB and I where on the opposite side thanks

Find Number 2701

The Booo's found this cache, This took us a little to long but we soon managed to grab the cache

Thanks Deputy D0g for placing this cache


This log was generated using a combination of GSAK and iGeoKnife iPhone app

I was passing by and thought I'd go for this latest hide from DD.

Had to open the compass app to utilise the hint and go for the grab.

Thanks for the hide Deputy D0g

Arrived at Structure at GZ and took in the hint. Umm Ok! Next I took a bearing with I-phone compass and knew where to start looking. Felt around and got nothing, so I decided on some speleology skills here and spot the cache right where I was looking before but somehow just missed it. Did the legals and replaced as found. Thanks Deputy DOg
Cheers
dkmacca

It's Friday at last!
A relatively easy find if your hands are not acting cache blind.
I had to make a similar move as Dkmacca before spotting it.
Thanks for the cache.

This one proved surprisingly elusive but was found eventually.

Even after PAF this one could not be located with 2 sets of eyes

No find for us even with a PAF to confirm location

Did a cache check at 17:00 and all is good

Published

Found it first at 2.21 on the 6.10.14 only took me 10 mins to locate. Expecting to find another cacher here or to have already found it I wss surprised noone beat me

A nice quick find on the way home.
