This is not a GC cache any longer. The fact that this page is still here is because Groundspeak doesn't purge old pages. (A lot of SwampGecko's GC caches were transferred to GCA, for example.) The correct place to log finding it is http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1515.

I did a cache maintenance run this afternoon after finding the cute implied threat in GC1H5TW. Gee, someone's claiming a find when there's no proof of it in the logbook... lol trolls.

As the guildlies do not mention any thing re logging archived caches if it is there then I should believe I can still log it.
As quoted by a Moderator 'If you found it, log it.'

JABs knows fully well that the cache has moved to GCA (he's watching it there), yet insists on logging it here..
It is against the guidelines you love to quote to log expired/removed caches for the mere sake of gaining a point.

Would appear that this one is still in place. Nice views from up here.

Found while on a trip to the hunter.

Moving the cache to GCA, where harassment by mouthbreathers is less of a problem.

Again this cache seems to be neglected after 3 months of no action it may be time to go.

Cache is gwone.

Trying to find the park was a bit of an effort then trying to find a parking spot was even harder - but finding the cache was impossible for us sadly!

New sheets, finally. (I don't own a printer.)

Go for it, JABs, and you can stop #$%^ spamming me now.

How long does need to wait?

Cache will remain disabled until JAB is out of town and stops harassing cache owners.

How long do we wait.

Cache will remain disabled until JAB is out of town and stops harassing cache owners.

Any chance of been done before Chri+stmas?

Offline until I can get the new sheets done.

Just walked up the road to this testing my new gps/phone

Needs new logging sheets, People are starting to have to write on the back.

I would do it my self, but i have many lab reports due in on the building over the highway next week.

Found late at night in the dark, with my dad standing there watching and laughing at me trying to find as he knew where it was.. not fun stuff. lol

thanks Xx

Took a first time geocacher along to this one ( after staking out a location for my first cache hide )... and he ended up finding it!
Thx

Quick find of a clever hide. The logbook probably needs another page. T4TC.

Excellent hide. It appears that the University is no longer quite as open as when the cache was set.

At last I have found it....

Thanks for the hint from Pensive Traveller and all the jibing I received at work for not finding it, I actually found it.

My wife was rushed to Hospital on Friday night and has to stay for a while. On my way to the shops to buy some little goodies for her I thought I would stop of for a quick cache.... I knew she would understand....hahaha

It is an excellent hide, well thought out. I will take the wife once she gets better, she would appreciate it.

thank you for getting me interested

17/17 for the day
you point I'll whistle!
we all had the same idea at the same time at this one.

the local nieghbor is very friendly and probably a good guardian for the cache,.

As we approached the park we were observed by a local muggle, who said, as we headed up the park, "Hope you find it". He then said the knew about geocaching and that there was a cache up there, he had looked for it a few times but had not found it, he has not really tried geocaching though.
We found the cache quite easily.

Been past this park thousands of times over the years, but didn't know it existed until now. Thanks.

0477 re-logging due to name change

477 What a great hide - pity about the parking though. TFTC c.j.b

Found with JMCz (Texas) & Wagga Wagga (my brother from Las Vegas), TFTC!

This one gave us a lille battle but we found a tool that helped us retreive it. TFTC

Found it, my first find ever.

Did it without a GPS, don’t know if that’s cheating, but goggle maps can pinpoint it, and I have incredible mapping abilities / map memory, once I see it on a map, I can find it in the world.

found this one

had my daughter on my shoulders

as she reached up and found the cache


great hide

very rewarding to find

Third find for the day. Also nice to get this one before MADSTARS. This was one of the best urban micro hides I've found so far. TFTC.

Thought long and hard (and high) about this one, and then it just became obvious. Great use of camouflage and container. TNLN thanks c.j.b

Love that cinema round the corner. The cache was found quickly as the co-ords are spot on. Thanks guys.

The cache checks out okay.. This can be another lofty goal..

This is the second time trying to find this. I just want to know which side of the fence it is on???

Its driving me crazy...lol

Happy Australia Day - our 2nd cache ever - tried twice but finally found it!!

This was our third find for the day in the rain. Having just completed my degree at Newcastle University and having not been back since gradutaion it was good to look upon it from afar and not have to enter!!! Luckily my little bro was with me as he is rather tall and made the find and was highly impressed with the location of GZ!!! TFTC.

Good thing we had Eynowd with us, the rest of us don't have all that much higher education...

Looks like I started across the road a year before CJB did: my old student number was C8841132 (although I graduated at the end of 1991 with a Bachelor of Computer Science).

Nice easy find in the end. Done a few of a similar nature so I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for. Still had to try a few spots before I found the right place.

After we'd signed the log, I took Dvixen, Xtumech and my daughter on a tour of the campus to show them where I'd hung out. My God. It's changed so much since I graduated, I just about got lost trying to find the Engineering complex.

TNLNSL TFTC and the nostalgia trip

As stated by Tailander, did this one together, our 5th for the day.
Driving along, got within 100m of the GZ but couldn't see a road any closer, so parked at the golf club and walked along 'Main Rd'.
Walked about 30m past the cache before we found a safe place to climb the hill, then proceeded under a fence and towards GZ.
A great hide, sheer luck found it.

Found this one with Roanish after a bit of a walk along the highway, should have gone the other way but it just wouldn't be the same if i didn't do things the hard way.
Roanish spotted the cache, VERY well hidden.
TFTC!

Number 2 of a 6 cache day. Man i was very impressed by the camouflage of this one, completely original and unlikely to ever be stumbled upon accidentally. As another bonus i never even knew that this Park existed, so double thanks for that. Finally, the eldest young one claimed the Paddle Pop which we traded for a Rainbow Paddle Pop at the Anna Bay Servo later in the day so thanks again. All round very enjoyable cache.

12:14 Interesting spot here, never knew it existed. Cache was quickly found, signed log and left the paddlepop for someone more needy. Thanks for the cache

Rated: for Overall Experience

An interesting cache hide and nice location. Tricky to try and find how to get into but we figured it.

Second to find - That dam Steel Rat beat me by only minutes.

Thanks C.J.B. for the hide.

The Bronze & Jaeger.

FTF, second to log.

Went on an unexpected caching day today, with all the Rats and my cousin and her family.

This was first find for the day. The GPS tracked us to within a couple of metres. My first guess at location was 'right idea, wrong place'. We found the sneaky little bugger very quickly after that.

Thanks for the fun.

(Better luck next time Bronze,
from that damned SteelRat)
