Took us a while but found by dad. SmileThe logbook is water damaged. SadThanks for the cache, Lilyandcam!

Found it! My son and I looked through the bushes for about 10 minutes before seeing it. The clue makes sense in hindsight. As mentioned by others the lid does not attach to body, but good effort in making the cache. Thanks!

after some helpful hints from a previous finder, this very creative cache was found. thanks!

Found during a caching trip out to the north-eastern suburbs to clear up a cluster of caches that I've been meaning to do for ages. Most caches were found relatively quickly and were in good condition. This one however took a while to find, but I spotted it eventually. Thanks for the cleverly crafted cache lilyandcam!

Spent the tail end of the afternoon looking for caches around Cobblers Creek and Golden Grove. Climbed some hills, scaled some gullies, spent some time in parks and all caches bar one were located. I was fortunate to know one of the original team at Delfin who developed Golden Grove. Unfortunately he passed away earlier this year. After driving around the Golden Grove labyrinth today, I find it hard to reconcile how someone who was such a straight shooter was responsible for the roundabout routes and roads in this suburb. TFTC to all cache owners.

Out for a family walk this morning and this one was on the way. Took a bit of time, but eventually saw the well camoed container. TFTC

Found in the overgrown bushes. No longer a bunny, but still a grassy cache. The last name on the replacement log was on the 10th of July 2022. Bring a pen!

Had a quick look and found it with the right directions, the cache was filled with water and had no logbook so we put a replacement in there. TFTC.

Whenever I visit the northern part of TTG, I try to reconcile what I’m seeing from what I can remember in the 70s, particularly the old alignment of Golden Grove Road. I don’t recall this ruin at all.

Alas there has been no progress with this cache since HouseOfJones attached a “needs maintenance” note Cache was found in two pieces with its guts spilled out. It’s a shame, as the COs clearly went to a lot of trouble in the first place. This is not the sort of cache that a passing cacher can fix.

I hope that something happens to save the day, it’s a fun cache in an interesting spot. Thanks lilyandcam.

The lid is missing magnets so it doesn't close properly anymore. This has led to the log being completely soaked. Needs a bit of maintenance and upkeep to keep this wonderful cache going.
 
21-Aug-21
We have searched for this geocache a few times and have been unable to find it. We are new to geocaching and my 2 sidekicks keep loosing their patience lol.

Came here years ago could not find it, got it in less than 5 minutes this time
 
12-May-21
A picturesque park to wander through. The well crafted cache was found without problems. All dry inside but the lid of outer cache is missing a couple of magnets.

A favourite point for the cache and the interesting location.

Thanks for the cache lilyandcam.

Parked near by and wandered into this park. Not a lot of walkers about today and no one at the ruins made for an easy search. I noticed something out of the corner of my eye and the cache was spotted. Cache and contents are all good. No bunny seen though

With a few hours to kill this afternoon, I decided to head north to clean up the few caches I had missed on my last few trips up to greenwith/cobbler creek area. One very windy afternoon.
Total of 14 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Some caches are stand out caches for a variety of reasons![^]Smile
This cache, at 9pm in the dark on my way home from my daughter's where I'd had tea with the grandkids Cool[:X] (and their parents tooRazzBig GrinWink), was a standout cache!Cool[^]Cool
Loved the ruins and wandering through them (and so did Rex[:X]) surrounded by pepper trees, lavendar and wormwoodCool was one of those special momentsCool[^]Cool
Then I found the cacheSmile and laughedBig GrinBig Grin The camo may blend in better in the dampness of winter's greeneryRazzWink however the cache was still well hidden even in summer's dry brownessSmile
Fascinating history and oh if those stone walls could talk!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi
Have visited the site a couple of times in the last year or so. However, on the first visit, I now know that the GPS was not in a happy place, and it had me all over the place and nowhere near where the cache was found. Last visit was during the period where the cache was missing, as I have now discovered. With a few finds now in the logs I felt that it was time for another visit. On the way home I detoured in, parked nearby and wandered over to GZ. Today though, the GPS took me to a different spot where I very quickly located a clever camoed cache. Extracted the log, stamped and replaced. Finally happy that this is now a smiley and the ruins are not ruining my map.
Going to give a favourite point for a nice bit of camo.

Back on Anzac Day 2019 i had a bit of a torrid time trying to find this well hidden cache.

Today, it was an absolute breeze! in about 5 minutes of searching and that elusive hide was soon in hand and it's log was signed at 11:22 on the wet and cold Saturday the 29th of June 2019.

A favourite point is in order here for this one! It even had some of my swag from the past in it.... BWT Craft Pegs..... wow, how did they get there? I had to double check that i actually hadn't found this cache before lol Big Grin

TFTC for showing me these ruins and for that elusive sneaky hide which is now a yellow 'Smiley-Face' Smile lilyandcam Smile

Unfortunately the recent dry spell has no doubt left Peter very exposed and he's disappeared... Cache has been replaced within 1-2 metres of the original but isn't as interesting..
 
30-Apr-19
I am hesitant to log the DNF yet because I’m clearly having a shit day... from what I have read - now can I be missing it!!!!!! Nnnngghhh
 
30-Apr-19
Had a good look around with Lock Chick but couldn't find it.
 
30-Apr-19
I concede - I couldn’t find it. But I did find a snake and that’s when I left. Will return another day, nnngggh!!! It’s so very dry here I can barely conceptualise the green plants in previous logs. Geomutt and I shall return !
 
25-Apr-19
Once i got home and looked at the picture gallery on my computer do i 'now know' exactly what 'Cute' cache container i'm looking for aaaaargh! To think i spent looking for over 50 minutes for something nothing like that even though i have found a cache exactly like this in the past and they ain't very small either.

How could i miss that!..... well today, the 25th of April i did just that and given the leafy matter next to it i now know exactly pretty much where to look..... now ha ha. What i can't understand is "How could i miss it given i searched those areas" and it's size lol. Most definitely Cache Blindness [:o)]

A very sneaky hide indeed.

TFT Challenge anyways, lilyandcam SmileWink

Next visit i pay i will have had the odds narrowed down considerably.

The first Wednesday wander for members of the Puzzled Puzzlers group. Been quite a few weeks since the last adventure but that hadn't stopped us solving puzzles ready for the next walkabout. Surprised In fact there had been five BFE and two B&J puzzles solved in that time so it was high time we went and collected them. Cool Then is was time to cache our way to an event at the Willaston hotel.

What a great place. [^] I can't believe I actually walked past the cache a couple of times without seeing it. Red FaceRed Face
Then it was a DOH and smack yourself in the forehead moment. Smile

**Thanks lilyandcam for this cache. ** Big Grin

Had a caching itch to scratch... took Purrfect Di to turn a frown upside down.
This time two of us searched for a long time and just before giving up again
we found the little pest / tasty morsel / cache container...
Glad to have that one done! Somewhere between the orig coords and Mr Hurtles. Really no substitute for persistence Razz

I had this same cache for one of my hides. It’s so darn cute that mine got muggled, though. TFTC.
Another DNF bites the dust.

found at 1212hrs after a short search. Having read some of the previous logs we had a better idea of what we were looking for. When we found it our youngest declared that she had seen it the last time but didn't know what it was so she didn't say anything. Nice area & nice container. Thanks lilyandcam

This is one of those caches that when you find it you think "why on earth did it take me so long to find that?!". Great hide! Thanks
