This was my 1 DNF amongst 9 finds this morning - Wattle Grove, Holsworthy, Cartwright & Miller.
After finding the "Piece of Resistance" pair of caches, this left me with only 2 caches left to find in this suburb. I couldn't do "Wattle Grove Lake" as it's currently disabled with the CO overseas, so skipped that one. That left this cache, which has a lot of recent DNFs.
Like maruce said, I would agree with his comment that the co-ords 'seemed spot on to a place that satisfied the clue'. I looked a little further around but wasn't going to give this much of a look, as it sure seems to have gone. I headed off to "Make mine a Bailey's" next.

We can clearly see where it should be going off the hint, but sadly it is not there.
I'd bet this one has been muggled. Coords seemed spot on to a place that satisfied the clue but it looked like the cavity had been cleaned out. I suggest a cache check.
Last cache of the day. So it's definitely there - it was completely out in the open - so much so I didn't even think that could be the cache - geodad with the find.
We covered it up good and proper with some natural cammo - hopefully we didn't so too good of a job and the next person can actually find it! Feel free to message me if there are any issues.
Thanks for the cache!

If everything was correct this has been muggled. Could you check and see if this is there and let us know. Thanks.
Parked in a empty car park and took the short walk across the grass. Found pretty quick. Number 9 for the day. TFTC.
Easy nearby parking and I found the cache quickly. Enjoyed the luxury of the nearby seat to sit and sign the log, thanks.
A shortish walk, and it was in the first spot I checked. I just had to wait for some neighbour muggles to drive off before I could replace it.
#2491 (7 of 11 today) (Streak day 205)
This morning I was attending the funeral of a friend's father in Cabramatta, so afterwards, having also
caught up with a few other ex-work colleagues who also attended, I got into some caching clothes and spent a few extra hours down this way grabbing a few caches.
In the end I grabbed 11, DNFed one and confirmed a previous DNF was MIA.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Another quick find here - after parking next to two canoodlers (who rapidly left in their vehicles just after I arrived - I only parked there as it was the only other spot in the shade). Yes it was hot!
Good coordinates made the quick find and I took away to other shade as there were others a reasonable distance away in the park and I didn't want to linger.
Completed signing duties and wandered back for the replace after three of the muggles had walked out of sight.
Time for a drink, and some fruit, so went to the near-ish shopping centre for some sustenance.

I was heading down Camden way this morning and had already decided to divert to this one. Parked on the other side so i had to walk across the squelchy field. Coords are good now and soon had the CIH. Visited a couple of RB's and a geocoin. TFTC imaemily27.

Seeing this cache pop up & being not far away, I decided to go & make a quick grab, but as co ords put me inside the school I knew this hunt would not be as quick as I had hoped. Co incidentally opposite posted co ords is a stump, so I had a good poke around here & there. Then I decided to expand search & walk around nearby Australis dv, based on cache name. Again no luck so went home to rally the available troops & advised them and of my dnf. With extra eyes & feet on the ground we returned to the area for another look. Again no joy, so using local knowledge, ie a park with same name in about 400 metres away, we left our gps's in the car & went for a wander. Again we come up empty & decided to head back to the car. We split up for a final scout around & what do you know, I found this geocache. A complete surprise as totally just found using geo instincts. Returned to the car to get the gps so could obtain more accurate co ords. Co will need to update co ords, but in the mean time try -33.57.608. 150.56.346 Happy to claim ftdnf & ftf:) Thanks for placing this cache xo
Well i was hoping for a ftf, bit the updated coordinates are still waaaaay off. I found myself outside the front gates of the primary school.
Instead i had to use the photo clue to find the right spot, only to see the soldier boys signature they're already!
Try S33 57.607 E150 56.343
Thanks for the cache.
