Scroll was missing as well as cap and was moved. Put scroll back in and back towards one of the clues.
Checked the fence first since I didn't seem to be on the side with the trees. Found nothing, and it would be unusual to be able to fit a small in there anyway. Went over to the trees, of which there seemed to be two candidates. Candidate 1 had a possum(?) carcass next to it and didn't seem to have much to offer. Candidate 2 seemed to have much more in terms of potential hiding spots, but it was also very much a bee tree. Even without going under the foliage there were already a swarm of bees touching my skin, so after a bit of looking I gave up the search.
Found this cache as part of our goal for 300 finds. Very creative hide. TFTC, signed and replaced.
Tftc, the cap is missing. Looked on the ground without success. Hope it doesn't rain before you replace it.
#35 After coming here last and search for about 20 minutes had to leave with a dnf. JacJaac and I decided to stop off on the way to some other caches and had a quick look again now that were a little more experienced. So happy to see exactly what I had been search for the first time! Nice cache!
35. After a failed attempt the other day, DommyBoss and I decided to quickly revisit this one, and were so glad we did! With DommyBoss keen eyes, we got in a quick grab to start the day. Some helpful tips in the logs if you know where to look
Began the search as diesels X 4 came rolled passed. Not long afterward I spotted the nicely concealed hide. Did the business and returned as found. A F.P. for this one. TFTC MBM.
Found with Goldfinger777 on a post Xmas mini mission around the area. Goldfinger777 came up with the find on this one!
Tricky find, Quick find by wazza9, out picking up a few local caches. No muggles around today. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO.
TFTC,Out to get 12 caches (10 today) for the Solstice Souvenir challenge between 17th and 23rd December.As expected a bit different, added a favorite and visited trackables.
Been here before with no luck, but found straight away today. Thanks for the cache.
Found It!A quick find here to start the day with. No trains to be seen.TFTC
Well it was a successful afternoon of caching before the 2023 Christmas event with 7 finds and now no time for any more.Oh yes there is!Just time to detour to Jannali Station. Parked the geomobile hoping I was on the correct side of the fence. Just as I arrived near GZ a muggle parked his vehicle in the shade right there.What should I do??I stood still wondering. Hey, I could see my prize and I was pretty sure the muggle hadn't seen me.He went to the boot of his car. He was going to get changed ........ just his shoes but well it could have been .....At this point I decided to get the cache, which was quite awkward. Log signed, then the muggle walked off, he glanced back at his car .... and saw me. He sort of did a double take then walked on.I mustn't look threatening or suspicious, lol.Such a funny ending to today's caches deserves a Favourite Point!TFTC # 5696
Neat hide. Not many muggles and not many trains.TFTC with help from 165ARB.However, it was not quite in the same place .Returned to where she said it was Alright.TFTC
Another quiet place on a Saturday afternoon with plenty of good parking. I made the short trip to the cache where I found a nicely hidden container. Thanks for a top hide, I really liked it.
Pretty sure of what I would be looking for here. And yes there it was, another great little cache hiding in plain sight. Nice hide.
There was only one spot that matched both parts of the hints and so it was, thanks
Find # 9780Nice quick find.Great hide and camo! Worthy of a favourite point.!TFTC merrybeachmick 9 October 2023 14:00
Nice camo. Another night time cache to avoid muggles. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC.
Pretty funny cache spot, the clue really helped because it was literally what it saidTFTC!
Clever piece of camo found after 10 mins searching after waiting a while for a muggle nearby to leave. Tftc!
(2 of 2 today)Headed south to The Shire for dinner with friends. Cheese and red wine - not to mention good food - await.But gave myself an hour or so beforehand to make some finds.finally decided to retry a long time DNF, and then had time for a Park & Grab.Glad to say I got both.###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###Still have time for a quick find in a familiar area.Parked close, but two muggles talking on a bench seat were even closer.Snuck in for a quick look and immediately spotted something suss. Made the grab unnoticed. Phew!Took a short distance to complete signing duties, then back for the replace.And the muggles are none the wiser. And I made the find just before more muggles approached.Well timed.Nice piece of camo here.Time for friends and food.SLTNLNTFTC
A cracking effort on this one. Arrived in the darkness (wasn't too late though- not to long after 6) and jagged a spot nearby. The hint made clear sense at GZ and with my torch I spotted a great piece of camo and sure enough that was it. I liked it! TFTC!
Quickly spotted the prize from inside the fence but had to walk around to release it from its hidey hole. TFTC mbm
Parked after a day out for a quick find.
With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache merrybeachmick

[FTF] @ 0900 with GeodogZelda.
Having just got home from an early morning coffee with some buddies, GZ started barking something about a new MBM cache at Jannali. After a quick bowl of Special K, we jumped into the Brewmobile and headed over. It's amazing what geocaching shows you about your local area. I had no idea there was a commuter carpark on this side of the train station!
Anyway, we strolled over to GZ, and after initially finding us on the wrong side of the fence, we soon had the GPS down to a few metres. I poked here and there, looking up and down and around, until I spotted something that looked natural but a little different. Sure enough it was it and another clever MBM camo. Have a FP.
Then as we walked back to the car, who should turn up but MBM himself, on his way to work. After a brief conversation, I let him get onto his task, while this retiree made his way home for a well-earned rest. All this chasing FTFs takes it out of me! TFTC

I always like finding a MBM cache, especially when there is an [FTF]. The camo was clever enough that I might have taken it home with me, if BM hadn't stopped me. And I was very happy to see MBM again when he unexpectantly turned up just after we made the find. TFTC
