Tom Gearon Cache Narre Warren North, Victoria, Australia
By Wen and Friends on 17-Sep-11. Waypoint GA3380

Located cache and managed to extract it. Replaced log and added zip lock bag. Wrapped some tape around the join which can be undone to extract the log.

Per my log and the two previous finders, this cache will require the CO's attention.

I arrived at my appointment to find I was half an hour early and the patient wasn't home, so I detoured over here for this cache before returning to Endeavour Hills to finally see the patient. I had the same experience as previous cachers - it's stuck in there. Maintenance is necessary please CO.

Today we found this cache however like previous finders we found the container firmly stuck in the post. We were able to extract the lid and the log but the base is firmly jammed into the base of the hole. The log has been very wet and dried out. It is now very brittle and started to tear badly when we tried to unroll it. Consiquently we signed the back of the log roll. We replaced the log and sat the lid back on. The lid does not fit well.
Thanks for the cache Branny Smith Apple. We liked the hide but the cache is in need of urgent attention.

found it

As per the previous finders log, this cache needs some loven. The cache is way down the hole. I had to assemble a few emergency tools from car to make the extraction, and I only came away with the lid. This meant I could access the log and sign it, but even after extra work, I couldn't get the rest of the container. I am not sure if the log will continue to remain dry in its current condition.
I'm glad to have found it today though, as it's leap day!

Melbourne Mega November 2015 with Sol de Lune and LuckL10n. On our way to a trig I was happy to get a chance for this traditional. The container was a bit stuck in it hole, but the lid came off ok.

Thanks

#GA718 - 14:35; In Melbourne with Sol de lune and Albida33 to attend the Melbourne Mega and associated events and activities, as well as a bit of caching of course. We had just participated in the CITO Event nearby and decided to grab a local trig. We were passing this cache when Sdl suggested we stop and see how this one was faring. It was a difficult extraction, but extract it we did and after signing the log and replacing the cache, we were off again. TFTC BRANNY SMITH APPLE

In the area for a couple days with my wife while she was attending an event associated with her hobby/passion, but I had a couple of hours where I could get a bit of caching in.

Last one for the day and another unloved one. Pulled up near GZ and wondered where it could be....but once out of the car a hidey hole was spied and the cache was in hand. Been just over a couple of years between drinks, but the cache and log (photo attached) are both in good shape.

Thanks for maintaining this one branny smith apple...good to see it was there....

Thanks for informing us of the maintainance needed! We have restored it successfully
! Thanks WEN & FRIENDS!

Bottom half of the container in jammed in, logbook has been soaked at some point and unable to be unrolled. Needs some major work I fear...

Found this one, but extracting it was very difficult, and when I did I discovered it was only half a container, the rest was still in tightly and completely out of reach. The logbook was unable to be opened as it had been soaked in water and caked in places with some mud? so all I could do was write my visit on the outside as best I could...

Found this cache while filling in time on a cold Sunday afteroon. Log is compleatly soaked and I was unable to sign it. A bit of tlc needed on this one. Thanks for the hunt.

Nice easy find after DNF nearby.
Nice new area

Arrived at GZ hoping for a FTF. No luck today with a set of names already written in, but no date!! Not sure who the first lot of names are. Anyway, a STF for me here today, although I did have to wait around until some muggles over the road went back inside their house. I was then able to log the find.

I am going to claim FTF for this one since nobody else has logged it.

Thanks to Wen and friends for the hide.
