Minion Heathcote, New South Wales, Australia
By Ajwm18 on 18-Apr-23. Waypoint GCA7G18

The coordinates seemed to take me all over the place. After nearly half an hour I was giving up and about to make me way out when I spied it. It was obvious when you find it, but it was hard work up until then. The log needs replacing. I couldnt sign it.Hicky

Took the long way around in getting to GZ, eventually looked in the right spot

Found It!Spent a bit too long searching in the wrong places here before eventually finding it. Trust your GPS, the coordinates are good!TFTC

Great find, took me a bit to climb up and find it had to find a stick to open it though 7/10

Cool spot

Great cache, in a bit of a hard area to get to without getting poked by everything. Might need some new paper because when I tried to write on it, it would just break. Other than that beautiful cacheTFTC

First cache of today, found after a search which took longer than expected and or longer than what it should have been.Found the cache, started to rust in spots but the logbook is too wet and soft to sign. It just falls apart when written on. Needs a new log. It is also about full. Unfortunately, found a dead ring-tail possum which wasnt fully grown either at GZ. TFTC, found and replaced.

Tftc. A bit of a scramble up the hill for a quick find.

Found it

Sue let me climb up to this one whilst she stayed behind to fix her phone. Initially, I could only find two drink cans which I intended to carry out. Then I found the cache and realised that I needed a TOTT to open the container. For a moment, I thought that I would have to return to the car to get a TOTT. However, this would risk me not finding the cache again. Plus I am too old to keep climbing around. Then I realised that I could obtain a TOTT from my CITO. 2easy. Unfortunately, the logsheet, despite being in a snaplock bag, was damp. Still managed to SL. Sorry, didn't have a spare logsheet of a suitable size. TFTC Ajwm18

In atin can under log took a few mins to find

Neighbor was standing at The front of his house watching me As I tried to search Very discreetly

144. Easy to spot once youre looking at it from the right height. This one does take a bit of climbing

#144 Very old school type of cache. Nice and easy spot to get to. Didnt require too much bushwhacking. Log was a bit water damaged so I added a ziplock back to keep the water away a bit

Thanks for the hide

Spending the weekend at a Training Course at the nearby Scout Camp. Managed to escape for a little while to grab some local finds.Cheers

Very wet after this weekends rain. Cache lid was off and the contents a little soggy. This one might need a little check by the CO. A nice easy find though, TFTC.

We found it

Yippppppi

I made some new friends here

A couple of neighbour muggles were sitting across the road from the cache but they didnt to question me as I clambered up Eventually zeroed in on the cache and the log was soon signed! TFTC!

Found from the obvious log and then I moved back to where the GPS wanted me!?!On making my way back a massive ant took a big bite!!!TFTC.

TFTC,Out to build my finds for this date in the statistics to 15.Started 20m away and after searching the wrong spots Nana found it, visited trackables

This took awhile to locate, I didn't think it would have been where it was, but it was. Found at 15.33. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO

A quick find after a short scramble up the side of a rock drop off, avenging a former DNF. Thanks.

Be ready to climb up a little - wear closed in shoes

Wear closed in shoes, found it quickly

First find of the day good place

First find of the day, this was a good one.

Found it yay also added my own contribution to the cache as well and I didn’t get a pic of the cache but the cache looked pretty cool to me

After scratching up the bank beside the minion I checked the first big log before moving on to the second big log for a find. TFTC

Thank you

Coordinates changed from:

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 4.759 E 151° 0.423

Distance from original: 13.5 feet or 4.1 meters.

Previous cachet said these coordinates were more accurate and I can confirm they are. Sorry for any confusion the previous coordinates caused anyone. Cache should be easier now.

Find # 9483
Taking the new GZ hints on board, we still had a bit of a search for the cache. Coords were a bit out but within the 10m requirement.
We found the cache at... (see photo).

Searched a few logs before I could Log this one. TFTC Ajwm18

Found some interesting pottery, but no cache.

As some geocachers have not been able to find this recently I am going to give another extra clue. The cache is about 10-15 meters away from the muggle house. Look for the big white tree closest to the entrance and then walk up to it. On you left there should be a dead log with a smaller little log that has been placed by a cacher that found this cache (brewmaker I think). From there it should be an easy find. Message me if you need extra help.

Cache is still there, although with a little more Camo then was originally there. Extra Hint: look a suspicious looking log

There were two spots that matched the hint, neither had the cache hidden in them that I could see.

Coming to check cache in n a bit

1st find for the family

Never mind people have found it so I won’t

Fun

So many logs and trees.

With the Minions back online, I headed over with GeodogZelda. After parking near the fella, I wasn't sure where to go, but we headed up into the bush. I guess that's public land!

Near GZ, I checked a dead log, but nothing popped out at me. Then, over to another big tree where I found another dead log and the cache.

Signed the fresh log and replaced it with a bit of extra camo. With muggle houses only 20m away, I hope this lasts longer this time. TFTC

Replaced Cache

Re-Enabeled. Sorry for the long wait.

Very nice

Found

Unfortunately I have to disable this cache for an unknown period of time because the cache has been moved. I know where it is but am currently away right now so I have to get someone else to do it for me. It is close to the original location so if you do want to go on a bit of a track around the location of the cache and find it message me and I will readable it so you can log it. Happy caching, Ajwm18

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. I have got someone to check on it and have found that the ribbon to open it was missing, the tape had been roped away (and no, it wasn’t just some ware and tare. Entire prices were ripped of) and on top of all, there was an apple core in there. This is just disgusting. I don’t know why this is happing. I’ve have never seen anything like this. All the other geocache dove seen have not had a word about this. My other geocache is fine, so why is this one any different? I’m considering maybe disability this cache indefinitely. I am following it up and will be messaging everyone that has found the cache so far. Just disgraceful .

I was probably too optimistic spotting this one last night unfound and thinking I was a chance for a FTF this morning! In any event I was 2TF on the way to work. I went way past where I needed to be and was about to give up when on my way back I spotted it- maybe angophora. It eucalypt?? TFTC!
