As Kaz444 and I approached the structure, we groaned, contemplating how long it was going to take to try and find the cache,it was getting hotter as the day wore on, but fortunately, one reach up and cache was in hand TFTC
 
24-Nov-24
Out caching on this very hot day with Gaynor56. Looked around at GZ and thought this might take a while. But I can actually say "put my hand straight on it". TFTC

Cache in good condition TFTC
 
22-Aug-24
Beadling around Muswellbrook and wandered over here to avenge a DNF.The hint is not relevant at all But this time I was able to spot something that looked slightly out of place, and then clamber upstairs. Definitely a T2.5. Seems unlikely this could be reached from the ground.TFTC Horn

TFTC!

This one took some finding. Two of us (Goldberry17) had already had a go and missed it but the third one found it. Very cleverly hidden. TFTC.
 
20-Jul-24
Well that was a tricky one! Nearly gave up as the icy wind was buffeting us around, but thanks to a 2pod, we discovered the sneaky little cache. Thanks - a favourite point from me.

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Staying a couple of days in Muswellbrook, today we headed out to find a couple of caches in the freezing wind.We found your cache today. TFTC Horn20 Cool

Repaired the cache, and replaced the log inside.
 
16-Jun-24
Couldnt find
 
24-May-24
We have hidden the cache again after my grandson found it on the ground. We dont know where it was originally situated, so weve just put it up somewhere near where it should be. Messaged owner.
 
21-May-24
Weve looked without success a couple of times, but my grandson and his friends found it lying on the ground! Problem is, were not exactly sure where it should go.
 
06-Apr-24
Second time looking, no luck.
 
02-Feb-24
After about 20mins of searching every crevice Ive given up for today. Very hot outside and definitely feeling it. Will be back to have another look in the future. Perhaps on a cooler day
 
19-Oct-23
Finally found it what a sneaky place to hide. TALodo came though with a great assist. Also be mindful may need someone with reach. FYI Hint didnt really help unless its moved from original location.
 
17-Oct-23
Took some climbing to find this one tftc
 
04-Sep-23
This is still in place i have checked it myself
 
08-Jul-23
Needs owner to review
 
23-Mar-23
Cannot find it after a good look keen to know if it is still here or missing

IDK
 
23-Nov-22
Thought we knew where it was located. However after a long while of looking, could still not find it. After looking through the hint and other logs, finally got a bit closer. Still took a little while, a very sneaky place to hide. Needed a little extra assistance.

Eventually found it. Took a bit to get the log out, as it was stuck so placed it back a bit easier to get out. Placed the cache back in the same spot as found.

I was on my way to AgQuip in Gunnedah and was finding a few caches along the way. This was one of them. Took a while and needed a PAF to locate it. It's not attractive at present. Thanks for the geo-fun.
 
28-Jul-22
Tricky find. Log is buried in deep and hard to sign. So took a photo and sent to CO. TFTC
 
05-May-22
Found it!
 
15-Apr-22
Had to come back to this one a few times. Found it the third lucky!
 
02-Jan-22
No luck today.
 
05-Aug-21
Found with Shaneo58, we came up targeting 2 specific caches around the Singleton area, and a circuit around Muswellbrook. Getting the news in the morning that we need to be home before 5 o'clock as there is an other lockdown, this means we won't be back for a good while as this is well and truly outside the 5km area from home. Came here to have lunch, and look for this cache, found fairly quickly as we have seen a few like this before.
Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** Horn20.

This is the 5th cache of 14 for today making a grand total of 3283 at 12:00PM on this Thursday the 5th of August in the Year 2021

Found it with BillHill531 5hrs before going into lock down. TFTC Horner.
 
14-Jul-21
This has eluded me a few times when in the area..today I made the find. When you finally see it, you know instantly what it is. TFTC
 
11-Apr-21
Found GZ out in the middle of nowhere today, I went one way and GeoIan took the other. Checked the hint. GeoIan found it and retrieved the log and signed. TFTC.
 
11-Apr-21
Nice play. We found GZ out in the middle of nowhere today, so we ventured over to the nearest structure, and madrabbitoh took one, i took the other. Nope. I must say, that i dont really like climbing up onto these, as people do eat from them, but sometimes we must do what we must do, One must be mindful, that someone is slowly removing the bolts, and one plank, will actually tip when one stands on the very end, Could turn disastrous. So we extended the search area, and when checking the tap, i asked if it worked, and just as i was walking in front of it, yep, it works. After a time, we checked the hint, which confrimed our suspicions, but did not really help. I swapped and checked the one mad had checked, and after going bottom to top, i found it. I sat down to retirieve the log, and it was not there. There was a sticker there on the table, so i used that. But then when returning the container, there is the log still in place, so i signed that one too, and have tried to replace as best i could. N.B. If there is a cricket game on, you will not be able to retrieve this. TFTC.

Managed to find this one. It helps to have found a few before.

Found while enjoying a day of Geocaching with Geoson GMW511 and Val and Scruffy.
 
08-Feb-21
While staying Tamworth for a few days, I ran out of caches to find Sad
So, I grabbed my geodog Scruffy, thru geodad Whitey Wiskas in the car and headed ur way to find a few caches further afield.
And this was one of them ...

All Good .. TFTC ..
 
12-Dec-20
This was a bit too tricky for us. I think we figured out some of the clue. But not enough to find it

On our way to Scone before heading into Barrington Tops, we managed 16 finds, including 7 FTFs, and another 6 GA finds for a great day on the road.
Good coords, we scoured the place before getting to the right level and spotting the hide, these buggers can be hard.... TFTC!

Found with Dad and Samuel on our way to Scone!

Definitely a good hide. Only our 2nd geocache so took a while to find because we did not know how different and what geo caches could look like
 
24-Jul-20
This was a very cheeky hide and despite knowing from the hint what we were looking for it still proved to be a bit of a mission. We certainly inspected a lot of things until eventually we expanded our search and thought a little bit outside the box. A very clever hide which is worthy of an FP. TNLN TFTC

Found tyftc. Found on a cold autumn day. Very clever clue and hide. Our autistic dau found it straight away

20,346. Found with albida33 during a meander up to and around the Tamworth and Armidale regions.

After heading off early this morning we were cherry-picking caches heading towards Scone for the night. This was the next stop and find of the trip. Parked near GZ for a quick search and find.

TFTC Horn20 !!

Tamworth and Amrmidale Trip March 2020. Day 1. I headed north with Fitzy_1965 along the New England Highway. We were headed to Tamworth but only made it as far as Scone on the first day. It was a long day of driving with caching only in the afternoon.

Thanks.

Any chance the CO could undertake a maintenance check? It’s not been seen in a year now and I don’t really want to roll around under ant infested tables looking for a cache if it’s not there Smile
 
24-Dec-19
Like others who DNF'd, I'm fairly sure I knew what I was looking for thanks to the brilliant hint, but alas I could not find it. Looked all around everything Ferris, including above, but no luck today.
 
24-Dec-19
I thought I knew what to look for, but I'm not hanging around too long with these ants
 
01-Jan-19
My GPS kept taking me to the middle of the path. Had a good search around with no results.
 
09-Nov-18
Good hint & coordinates. Oval prepared for the cricket season, lucky no muggles on a Friday morning. Nice cache, thanks.

#575 - Spent a long time searching the obvious spot, then when I expanded my search area whilst staying where the GPS had me pointed I spotted a familiar for... Great hide. TFTC

Took a while looking around for this one. Thought I knew what it may be but still couldn't find.

The OZ Geomuster is over. Twisted
So much fun and games and catching up with friends and meeting new friends. Cool
I have now officially left the showgrounds and am heading home. Smile
But of course there has to be a detour to go find a cache a cache or two ... or three ... or ... Razz Good thing I have 4 more days to travel home. Wink
I found a close place to park ... Surprised And a short walk. Razz
Found after a short search. [^]
Thanks for the cache.
 
02-Apr-18
Third time lucky. But only with the help of the CO.
I have learnt the hard way of thinking the coordinates are right and not that they might be a few metres out.
On my third visit my GPS lead me right up to the cache.
It is well camoflaged and in an excellent position. The clue is spot on.
Well placed Horn20, and you cirtainly outfoxed me for a while.
Definately a FP from me.

What a cache! This one took a little while to find then bingo our geo-minds came in to play with SammyJ94 and we soon had the cache in hand! TFTC. Good to see a new cache in town.
 
02-Feb-18
Awesome cache!!

Up early to get a few more of the great caches here before having to leave town. This was one we targetted and found. Thank Horn20 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Big GrinBig Grin

An over night stop here at the showgrounds. We met up with Liz and Bruce & went out together to find a few caches. There are some very clever, sneaky & well constructed caches in the area. Really enjoyed finding the many different types.
Thanks for placing this cache Horn20

We are heading from Brisbane to Bright in Victoria, caching as we go, wherever it is safe to pull up with the caravan. We left Brisbane on 3rd Jan and don't have to be in Bright til the end of the month. Today's drive takes us from our camp at Lake Liddle back to Muswellbrook to do some the Rock # series. Having completed this walk in the park, we decided to try our hand at the two caches by Horn20

Excellent clue. Thanks Horn 20

Last cache for the day after a day of caching to Burning Mountain, Scone and some remaining caches in Aberdeen and Muswellbrook. TFTC
 
11-Dec-17
So when i first saw this published i was approximately 450kms drive away, today work required me to visit muswellbrook. So i checked as this one hadn't been logged yet so a detour was made. A *FTF* was made , on my birthday aswell. The log book was a bit marked from the rust of the extracting tool - maybe something that needs checking. Thanks for bringing me to this park and for the cache.
