Replaced this one too many times.
I will find a more appropriate location nearby soon.

Aloha - We tried finding with no luck.

Had a quick look with no luck, reading the previous find log I suspect I was looking the right place. Didn't check on top of the bushes but if they replaced where it should have been if magnetic it isn't there now. Thanks bshwckr.

Me and fattyacid went to find tis cache again. we looked and look where it was ,But could not find it .we think it is muggled.

For Got to log this Find and Drop Off

Was looking about in the most obvious spot in this little park but could not find the little bugga! Then I noticed a bright little container sitting on top of some bushes. Sure enough it was the cache. Judgingh by the superglue on the side of the container it looks the cache once had a magnet attached to it but needs a little maintenance. (I jammed the cache back where I think it was meant to be). The contents was also a big soggy. Lovely little spot however. Thanks for bringing us here. TNLNSL

Just logging that I found it as when I logged it for maintenance it didn't turn up on my stats as found.

TFTC, Found it, Tried to dry out the log on the heater in the car but it was really soaked.
Also dropped the unite diabetes travel bug.

I was very cautious as it was 19:30 in the evening, lights all over the green. No one about when I found it.
I returned it to its place, with no one around. However as I walked away someone turned their car lights on me, He was in a darkened car so hadn't seen him. I hope the muggle didn't see me return the cache. I apologise if he has moved it or taken it.

I agree with PT. Tuesday arvo I expected more muggles. Sitting at the table then a quick grab with no one around. All good

This was cache #100 for me, a bit of a milestone for me. Nice easy one, and not many muggles around on the Sunday morning, which helped.

The cache may need some maintenance, the log is very damp and it's all screwed up inside the container. If you fixed the magnets to the inside of the other end of the container it would be able to be positioned in a way so that water wouldn't get. But other than that, it was a nice idea for the cache container.

Tricky little cache, but it was late enough that the muggles weren't much of an issues. The cache mounting does need a bit of work, but seems to do it's job for the moment. TNLNSL. TFTC

After missing this one as it was muggled last time, it was a very quick find this time.

Thanks bshwckr for the cache.

Found on a trip to the wineries with Grub Fred and Wagga Wagga. This cache needs some repair, it's method on mounting is falling apart. TFTC

Found with JMCz (Texas) & Wagga Wagga (Las Vegas). TNLN, TFTC!

Good cache with a subtle clue

X marks the spot indeed.

Third for the day

May the fourth was with us....

Third for the day. Nice clue!

Cache check. Still there!

I can finally lay a claim to finding this cache. 12 months ago on our way to tuff truck I had no luck with this one, but back this year for TT.08 and a finally a find. Thanks

Is it still in this location, tried this one at 19:30, no muggles and 2 peoples searching for 15 minutes

found this one

lots of muggles so had to be discrete

fattyacid and family

Lots of rubbish at GZ - what a pity. Nabbed this late at night as we arrived in town - no problems. Emptied some water from the container. Log is quite damp but can be signed OK.

Just where we expected

12:15 Hrs
I grabbed this one as the family waited in the car nearby. Just passing through on our way home.

Thanks bshwckr.

Found it again after finding it with geo sister and brother-in-law on the 21/12. I wasn't a member then, now I have the bug.

Found it with geo dad. No muggles about at all.

A cute pudd led us all the way to this cache, in fact it ducked behind the hedge right about at x marks the spot. Quick find, nice container, TFTC.

first NSW find. TFTC

Reload no. 3 and its up again. Thank richlink for sending it home.
Game on!

Found at 0900. Cache was exposed on ground. Not able to return to where is should have been or somewhere else suitable, due to too many muggles about. Can't give specifics in this log but will return cache to owner for maintenance and replacing.

Great little cache in a nice little park. Too many muggles around, needed heaps of stealth. Quite an easy find after about 5-10min.

Reload 2 now in place!

glad to see SUBYDAZZ says its gone, cause we couldnt find it. Hope the people in the bm - X - bike shope across the road didnt wonder what we where up to...

Cache check - gone (or at least not where it was when I found it).

after a suprise turn for the day cherryred and i ended up at cessnock, but no luck on round two with this one, even with two GPSr's

ARGH! It was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise when SkAttA BrAiNs and I found ourselves in Cessnock once again and we thought we might be able to put this one to rest. Alas, a good half hour of fairly uninterrupted caching (including a little - literal - bushbashing on my behalf) still left us as stumped as the first time. Found a lot of rubbish (including a car's side mirror which was here last time) but no cache. Perhaps I'll have to let this one go.

It was lunch time but thankfully raining hard and no one was at the spot or wanting to stand around and wonder what we were doing. Would have been much trickier on a dry day.

The geo wife finally found this one.
Great little park
Thanks

searched with Mira and Cherryred but had no luck, to many muggles and not enough time

Yes, I thought I was quite clever beating these two young whipper snappers to the find. Until I read the logbook and realise they'd been there 2 days earlier. I'd be quite upset with them if I hadn't pulled this stunt on them myself some time ago. Nice cache otherwise. Thanks!

Found this on the way up to the hunter valley for a wine tasting weekend with smokey 88 and big mickb. Whats better is that we beat bigmickB up here and didn't tell him we had been here before him. The look on his face as he found the cache and read the log book (which read "beat you mick!")was pricless. Thanks for the cache. Greg

Good Friday was pretty quiet so made it pretty easy to look for.
Yep, beating Big Mick B to this one was very funny. Younggreg b and us went back 2 days later with Big Mick B and pretended we hadn't found it, until he read the log book.....

got it this time, nice and easy, TFTH.

Well.. it was gone. So I put another one back. I updated the new log book from the logs posted previously. Sorry for all those who looked and could not find.

We checked this one on the way past and couldn't find it either. We were using old logs so we didn't see the recent DNFs. I would say this one is gone

Add me to the list of 'no finds'. I had 2 cracks at this one. Searched high and low on Friday only to return on Sunday and still turned up nothing.

Second time no luck again the geowife can usually fine these micro, where is it hiding????

I think I have to echo Mix's comments. We had two tries at this, one during the day where we started a search only to be disturbed and then again late last night on the way back from a wedding, only to find a group of teens who probably shouldn't have been there hanging around in the park so we decided to give this one a miss.

Thanks anyway bshwckr, we have another wedding later this year we'll give it another try.

teen muggles suck...

Went up to Potters Brewery for a few days and couldn't resist the temtation to scout the local area for a few caches. TFTC bshwckr

A challenge to avoid the muggles! You won`t be seing me in Cessnock afterdark though, so a daytime raid. The shops have rollerdoors on the fronts for a reason. Outlasted all but one muggle, pounced while she was on the phone.TFTH.

Hey Cessnock is perfectly safe at night... providing you are adequately armed!

After stopping in Bellbird to speak to someone we know who was selling vege's on the side of the road, we didn't get into Cessnock until 9:30am. We thought that at this time of the morning there would be too many muggles. But after waiting for the bus to leave the bus stop I wasable to grab the cache & sign the log.

Took a trip up here for a ballon ride, but was cancelled. Spent the day travelling the wineries and tried to find some caches in the area.
Look around GZ and you will find it.

Brought the girlfriend along for the hunt or distraction today and she found it pretty much straight away, I am sure I searched for it there the other night! Oh well, found it, left the diabetes TB as not heading where it was going.
Thanks for the Hunt!
