With work done for the day and a bus blocking our checkin, I was able to talk my PiC into a journey over here for a look for this one. Once at GZ, nothing seemed to match the hint but after widening my search pattern by a few metres, I soon spotted the subject of the hint and not long after, I was signing the log for its first visit in 365 days.
TNLNSL. Thanks WanderingAus.

We came armed with a new container to replace KittyKatch’s temporary replacement. Instead we found the original, in great shape. We had a look for the other but couldn’t find it…. Coordinates were 12m out for us, we had to go to the south to S450 E125… Cheers!

Found in another burnt out area and container all melted - so replaced cache with new temporary container. Hope this was ok. TFTC

Hi there WanderingAus - today is a driving day but only from Cooinda to Jabiru then to Ubirr. We enjoyed this drive and also finding a few caches along the way. SL - both cache and log are in good condition.
Found it this morning at the start of a drive from Jabiru to Katherine.
I was delighted to find it safe after almost a year without attention from anything more than a few insects which had to be shooed away before I could open it up to find everything in excellent condition.
The hiding spot is excellent in that it is fairly easy to find, and it has survived numbers of fires including a pretty recent one, and is hard enough to find to defeat muggles.
Perfect.

I guess GCAs aren't too popular in these parts. Found with MummyPenny in fine form after waiting patiently for 3 years. Who will be finder 5? Thanks WanderingAus.
Found on our Kakadu leg of our round Aust trip
