Seems as though someone does not want a cache there, it has just been replaced and now it's been taken again so best call it quits

Had a good look around, but this one defeated us tonight!
Would love to come back in the daylight for another look
Thanks for placing this cache for us to one day find, Biggo

Camped at Naracoorte this was to be our last day here so headed out to gather a few more smilies before moving tomorrow. Enjoyed a great walk around inside Struan House.
Magnificent weather today the best we have had here this week
Sadly we spotted a likely spot quite quickly but no cache was located. We continued to search elsewhere then kept returning to the obvious void. Soon enough we were joined by Foxena who had some inside knowledge which led us back to where we had already decided it might be. We went our separate ways but on our return to town we noticed 2 other cachers with the lady from the tourist info also pointing them to the same spot. Sadly it would appear this cache is missing again before the replacement could be found. [:(!]

Our second visit after it had been muggled on our last visit. Still could not find it so we ate some humble pie and asked in the information center. We were shown the location but it's gone again. It's a clever hide though.
Revisited this one but there was no paper so replaced thanks to the helpful Guy in the information centre

Another DNF for me here
Found some hyperdermic needles in the shrubs near GZ so I wasn't prepared to feel around too much just in case

All set to go again, hopefully cachers respect the effort people put in to placing these caches and help to keep them pristine for everyone to enjoy

Not so much a DNF but more of a Definitely Not There.
Found the spot where it belonged according to the CO & it's NOT there.
Not sure what the late night finder found.

Forget the sheep's back, I was riding on the bicycle's back for this cache chase
I find bicycles can be steered in the right direction easier than sheep.
And bicycles don't tend to follow other bicycles unless the other bicycle rider is also wearing lycra and thinking about a nearby coffee shop
With not a fleece of wool or lycra in sight this morning I rolled gracefully to a stop outside the back door of the mill.
No caches to be seen in obvious places, so I read the notes for clues
The clue wasn't helping, I had already looked there
Maybe a 'fizzy thinking cola' will help.
And by half way through, I had a new insight as to where the cache might be
Sometimes it just pays to sit down and stare.
Clever cache container in paw, I wondered about the logbook extraction method for a while.
Hmmmm !!?? I can see why others not willing to work out a solution have opted for the easy way out and took the “found cache, could not sign logbook” option …. shame, shame, shame
A couple of molars that I had handy soon had the inner container open and the logbook fell out into me paws under the influence of gravity
Thanks for a really well hidden cache [^]
A touch up on the painted camo would make this a difficulty 4 find again (like the last time I tried to find it, almost 5 years ago)

I pushed, prodded, poked. I looked up and down. I sat, stood and climbed but I didn't see the cache.
Then I thought a crack! Turn, turn turn and it was only a drain pipe .

Extremely well hidden cache. Took several visits and going through the logs to figure it out.
Third try and finally found it, the comments really confused me, I wasn't sure what side we were meant to be looking.It was so obvious when I finally found it, dah ! Near enough to my phones directions
Looking in completely the wrong side. Had to get more info from nice lady in shops. Well wedged in.
Cords way out lady told us around back nice hide tftc found with polkys quest
Found with auzzie convict on our way home after a great weekend caching in Victoria tftc would never have found it without the help of the volunteer
Found on The Joy of SECS weekend along with Astro, Freddo, four-fun & Team Waldron.
Great spot, very cool cache.
A lot of work gone into this

After a couple of years and many tries, it was good to finally get this one! It really is quite a clever find, I don't know why I didn't think of looking there before! TFTC
Second trip to locate. Needed help from a local,thanks Helzy14. Can't believe I touched the darn cache yesterday. Missed my window of opportunity there.
We were searching in the wrong spot from where the coordinates took us but were soon put right by a friendly local. We found it pretty quick after that. Great hide! An enjoyable hunt. Thanks for the cache.
A very clever, sneaky one. Well done Biggo, you nearly fooled us. Tftcsl. 2/06/13 12:14 Find #416

The geomobile was going to Naracoorte for a service. I decided I would turn the journey in a caching day. Aussie M&M were available so came along for the caching / ride. A slight detour into Victoria on the way home and fun day was had by all.
My companion and I were already armed with a hint from a previous finder so it made this rather easy. Just as well as theGPS wanted me the other side of the fence in the museum! Thanks Biggo.

brisal5 indicated that he had to make a trip to Naracoorte, and as the Aussies were available we decided to turn it into a caching trip to clean up some of the caches along this route. Of course when we three get together anything can happen so it was no surprise to find the trip extended to seek out certain caches and we even briefly crossed the border. A fantastic day, although a little tiring.
OK... this one has been on our DNF list since our last trip this way. We had spent a considerable amount of time searching without success. This time we approached our quarry with a bit of extra information and as it often happens we walked straight up to the cache for a quick find. The coordinates are not very helpful as we found we were 10m away and this had caused us considerable confusion on our last attempt.
TFTC Biggo. This is a great spot and a great hide, although we were a little concerned that the hide may have been created, rather than just using an existing spot.

Walked right up and spotted it straight away.Sometimes you just need to know what to look for.
Sneaky hide though.
Thanks Biggo

The rage was building while searching this building! got it though! one helluva cache!
TFTC, we had a little help from an informed person! Very good hide. Only a couple of places left on log sheet.
Doing a bit of geocaching on our trip around Australia. Thanks Naracoorte!

Couldn't find it. And here I was thinking I was getting fairly good at this thing. Great place to stop and streatch our legs though.
Not found on a slow and meandering trip to Mt Gambier.
What a disappointment as this seemed like it was going to be a good cache. The GPSr just wouldn't settle down for us and we were rarely within 7m of GZ. We gave a bit of a look in what we thought would be a likely location without success. We will definitely give this one another go one day, when hopefully the GPSr gets it's act together.

I picked this one up on the way to Mt Gambier for a two day work trip and was told this was a must do on the way.
Glad I did, it took a while but well worth it in the end
Sorry about the late log, Oh and a fav point from me as well.

Nice easy drive by on our way to the Biglittleevent in Nelson Victoria. Met the Whites on Windsor Mom and Lol frog, nice hide well done.
Well on our way to Nelson for the big little event thought we would grab a few caches on the way. Needed a bit of help well a lot of help from Muffy and trea73. Hope to see them in Nelson to return the help
We searched for a good 15min until we realised our GPS was a bit out and our searching technique was back to front. Finally located the clever hide in a likely place we had been looking for.
We thought we could not reach GZ but using the hint all was well. A good hide so TFTC. The ladies in the tourist information were very friendly and helpful too.
Our second visit from Adelaide and still no luck ourselves. Had to ask Michael at the info desk for help. Superbly hidden! TFTC!
Cache is currently empty, no log inside.

Gotcha!
OOooooo...... Now this one had me really going for quite some time. The sunburn on the back of my neck is testament to the length of time I spent here!
I searched high. I searched low. I read the logs. I read the hint. I checked the info centre, but it was closed. What to do...? What to do...? Where could it be..?
As I was about to give up, one last look around in what I thought would be unlikely territory and... Hang on, what do we have here? It's a very cleverly hidden cache!
Thanks Biggo!
ZZzz..
Dropped the inlaws off at Naracoorte to get their new auto and spent the afternoon slowly wandering home picking up caches. My first DNF for the day. Parked wandered around to GZ but the GPS wanted me thru the fence as well [?]. Checked the clue. I can see a window and I can see posts. But I can see more windows the other side of the fence. . Looked a bit more. Went back to the geomobile and read the previous logs. Ate a bun, drank some water. Tackled it again. GPS is useless. I am not going over the fence! Searched. still no luck. Back to car and started to drive off. Stopped. Went back for one last look. Bugger. . Your camo too good for me today. But in the words of MacArthur.. I shall return. Or more simply by Terminator. I'll be back. Thanks for the adventure Biggo.
I read all the logs, and the hint. Worked out where it would be, despite the bad coords putting me over the fence.
I couldnt actually get any better coords either!
Still had the shame of calling a friend.... Bugger
Magnificient cammo though!
Thanks

This had us baffled for some time but as it had been found recently we stuck at it. Success and what a relief, only the second of this type of hide we have found. TFTC
Found during a 3 day cache run to Mt Gambier with Astro and Freddo.
A great time was had, especially at the dinner.

Found in a spare hour while my sons football team was on a break in the interleague carnival. Took me a while til I spotted it. Thanks Biggo for the cache and for coaching the Mid South East u 15's.
With a friendly nudge in the right direction from a lady just finishing work we found it. Very clever hide.
Thank you Helen and Bill, not just for the hint, but mostly for the friendly welcome! Needs new logbook (Signed on scrap of brown paper bag!!!) Great cache! TFTC!
Almost wrote this one off as not found. No way we would have found it either without the halo of the friendly info centre man (Nigel). Excellent cache thanks
Found whilst Helen from Info center came out.
A great hide.
Caching with earthlight.

this one eluded me last visit, but when i stood back and thought about previous biggo-caches, it jumped right out:)
loved this one - TFTC!!

Searched a while before Mr Bushies2 found the sneaky hide, well done Biggo! You get a favourite point from us Thanks.
Jadey was in the info centre (trying to hunt down a metal detector to find her motorbike key she lost in the campground) while I was trying to find the cache... this took me a lot longer to find than anticipated, mainly due to my GPS telling me that it was on the other side of the fence!
Jadey came out with Helen from the info centre, as she had to explain what I was doing due to extended absence!
Helen got right into it with us but we were stuck as the GPS still said it was on the other side of the fence so we went back into the info centre & spoke with Bill who explained the hint (he'd previously had another Geocacher ask him about it) and then we soon had the cache in hand unlike the previous Geocacher Bill tried to help out.
A great hide Biggo, can't wait to try and find another of your clever hides!
