Logging as 'find' so it counts to my tally, not just to the notification that it needs repair. TFTC.
Found the cache when I realised I needed to go in to get out again.
The box is getting quite cracked and is not watertight at all anymore. Took gnome geocoin.

Found on a trip over from WA. Left Gnome Trackable. Case is a little cracked and needs replacing.
For a Tasmanian girl Miranda Fair is heaven on earth.
...and it just doesn't get any better when you throw in a cache to find as well
Thanks Frippy

While doing some shopping, why not find a nearby cache. Made our way to GZ, despite the driveby muggles we nabbed this one fairly quickly using our steath mode. TNLNSL&TFTC. [:o)]
Hi,
Very challenging cache but when you know where to look it's easy.

Man was it hot up here. Easy quick find once you figure out what level. TNLN TFTC
Vistited this concrete jungle once before but this time i wasn't going home without it.
After a bit of wondering around i had it in my hot little hands
thanks

We had a think yesterday, then went back and read the logs - yep! Came back today to sign the log. Whether it's called lateral thought, thinking outside the box, looking at a problem from a new perspective without preconceptions, or whatever - some caches can cleverly exercise this way of thinking. TN (didn't take the green car), LN. Thank you for the fun Frippy - all the way from the description, to the site, to the cache!
I guess my log will read similar to Pip And Robbies log. I will return for another crack at this.
We looked in many different places, but our GPSr kept taking us back to one particular spot (the metal edging was gone, and some tiles had fallen off, but other than that, it looked the same as the others). Too tricky for us! Hopefully we'll be able to give it another go one day. Thank you for the opportunity Frippy!
Quick find. My 12 year old spotted it. Left a small matchbox-like car. Next finder please move on to another cache, or keep as not much room in there.
12:32
Easy find, knew where and what to look for after doing a similar cache. No need for GPS.

Walked straight up and logged this one after i spent a bit of time at GZ i realised that it was to good to b true, finally figured out the hint and i had the cache in hand in no time. TFTC
Like Shrek, this cache has layers.Realised something was 'up' when I got to the cache site and there appeared to be no where to hide a cache. TNLNSL, Thanks for the tour of MF.
I zeroed out on the corner and did a good 10 minute search including totally dismantleing of the trach container to the amusement of the onlookers in and out of their cars....They must have thought I was desperately hungry. Couldn't make out the hint which probably would have helped...Ah well. On to Cronulla.

At first we started off in the same usual wrong position, until, there it is. After quickly grabbing the cache and signing the logbook we were out on the road again. Thanks Frippy for the cache.
[Very frustrated with this one. Tried to be inconspicuous in view of all the cars at traffic lights.] Thought the hint must relate to an advertised phone number but had no success
Nice day for a cache find...bad day for retail therapy with the 'handbrake'.... so took the advice of frippy.
Head scratch initially then tried to find another muggle problem possibility and was right on the Money.
Took strange looking chick coin and left another Geocoin.

I must of found it just before pipes did, as I had put that chic coin in (1:30pm). I had been frustrated with this cache for such a long time. It finaly dawned on me today where it would be and to my relief it was. I tried to look for naighbouring cache sutherland to surf half way, but no luck.
With one eye on the muggles and the other scanning for hides the cache was in hand and back to the car to write up the log.
Took geocoin and left geocoin.

THis cache made me dizzy! An easy find with no one around on a very wet Sydney evening.
Cheers.

Bloody hell- have been fooled twice like this before! You'd think I'd have learnt! After looking once before at a close but yet so far away location when it clicked it took the best part of 5 seconds to locate today. TFTC!
Finally got on top of this one. Missed it first time around, however after reading the logs had the cache in hand in a flash

Picked this one up just after the Sutherland to Surf cache. Nice little hide. Quickly signed the log and I was outa there. TNLN TFTC
Eventually got on top of this one. We were up here last Friday and only had a short time to search. After a few minutes we realised that we were not in the right spot and not enough time to get to GZ so Mr KC came back today and GOT IT !!!!!!
A good mixture of possibilities with this one.
Found the cache and utilised the seat nearby to fill the log in. This made me a lot less obvious. With a break in the traffic returning it was easy. There was no TB in the cache

Christmas shopping time, and time out for a quick cache too! This one had us stumped for a little while, then the clue clicked, and we found our selves back where we started; yep, we'd parked almost on top of the cache! Didn't see any TBs. Thanks Frippy.

I had to have 2 cracks at this one. My first attempt was flawed with mis-timing. Once those issues were taken care of it was a clever hide and the second I've done a cache here like this one. TNLN
Nice little find here, it has to be the the quickest I've ever found one and without a GPS as well

We had the distinct feeling we were just looking in the wrong spots.
Gave up when a muggle was told to wait outside the bridal shop he looked settled in for a long wait and had nothing but us to watch.

wow, This was starting to frustrate us, then we had a thought that uplifted us and within a matter of minutes it was found. Took travel bug, gonna move this little fellow south for a new adventure. Left Autumn leaf bagde. Thanks frippy. Great cache
I can remember when the Fair opened with a firework display. The outside entrance walls where lined with yellow tiles with Farmers written on the front. For some reason there was an old black rocket out the front as well.
Didn't take to long to find but there were lots of people so i needed to wait for the right moment.

Dropped off 'Judith' in the biggest shopping complex in Sydney to give her an opportunity to recover from her shopping drought in the Top End and her little run in with the law.
I surreptitiously searched the few available locations and decided there was no place to hide one. I looked around, decided on a likely place and made my way there. As I approached I spotted an obvious spot and found it the very first place I looked. Took coin.
Don't try this on a Saturday morning. All the train commuters are out in force in their cars - and are obviously well out of practice. It took ages to battle past them all trying to park. No one seems to know how to position their car in a car spot and they take an infuriatingly long time to do it. Fortunately the cache was easy to locate and the way down is also devoid of "Saturday morning drivers". TNLN. Thanks.
While I was out with the whole geofamily we made a quick stop off at the kings Way before we went home TNLNSL Thanks Frippy for the cache.
Good cache to do of a night, the views are great.

Thanks for the cache Frippy.

The cache is in its original spot again, after some abuse from the FTF (only kidding usat31) I have been and fixed it up, I also dropped off another TB, everything in excellent condition.
We love a FTF and this was No. 11 for Us!! Thanks Frippy
We should have read the clue properly last night when this one was published, as my early morning "beat the muggles" attempt was very fruitless, and all I beat was myself!!! The second attempt at 9:00am was much more succesful, and the cache was nabbed within seconds of arriving at GZ.
Took the Canadian Volunteers geocoin, and left MS International Geocoin #5 for the 2nd to find.
Thanks again Frippy - I couldn't wait till I was dragged up here.
