Omg make sure that you bring a shovel.I think its in the ground and its super hard to find. It took me and my crew 20 minutes then we gave up!
No luck for us today in the fading afternoon light. No shortage of spiders though.
Looked for this one ages ago but couldn't find it. The difference a good gps and a little experience makes! Had it in seconds.
Thanks for this cache.
Thanks for this cache.
Finally stopped to grab this one with the geo kids - a couple of minutes scrambling around saw us come up with the goods. TFTC!
Let the geo sister take the lead. Wait a minute before helping the find. TFTC
Got it! Spent a while looking before geodaughter finally uncovered it! Thanks!
In the drizzly rain, co ords led me in the wrong direction at first. Then finally Standing right on top.glad I had joggers on, a bit of a climb in the mud. TFTC
Exactly where we thought it would be but tiny to the eye. Very interesting! Log is full and it's hard to close back up
Geodad was accosted by a wasp in the toilet, but that was the only drama here. tftc xo
Nice little cache.
Took the fam and i a little time but bingo, just about to when . . . Woohooo.
Must say that the photo on previous find was a gove away....

Just out for a run far from home when this one popped up on the radar. Took me a few minutes but found the little gem thanks for the find. Didn't have a pen on me just found and replaced. Tftc
We (jeffx21 and marianx11) found the very very small cache, even though the tip pretty much gave us the basic location, the size made it an interesting find (smaller than a dice), 20 minutes of searching in fact. Nice enjoyabl but not for the wnak of knees.66
2nd find ever on first day of hunting. Most difficult thing was avoiding looking sus. Quite challenging for the less agile. Glad to have hat to avoid webs. Tftc
We have been here over and over and finally we just stuck our hands on it! Love it!
We have attached a photo as we couldn't get the cache open to sign it!!
Found with lomandra_legends

Again we took too long here for a cache that had to be where we found it eventually. We then squeezed our initials on the log.

#2314 - 13:50; I was amused to see Streets based in Magnum Place when I drove past this morning and decided that I had to stop for this one on the way home. Parked across the road and made my way to GZ. Did some hunting around before I reviewed some previous logs and managed to lay my hands on the little blighter. log signed, it was on the raod again. TFTC BuffyKim
It took me two attempts to find this one. I expected a tiny cache and I wasn't disappointed. After my first failure I went home and studied the logged visits and other evidence again and armed with a new approach I went back to the bridge and hit paydirt within minutes. A good challenge this one. (Only 3 more entries left on logsheet) TFTC.
Nice little park, nice easy find, co-ords are a bit jumpy.
After going to the ANZAC day ceremony at Ingleburn RSL thought I'd hunt for this one in the early morning.
No one in the park except for me & the muggle park cleaner-upperer.

Been here before a long time ago! Didn't find anything then and after a few minutes I thought this was again gonna be a no show. Then suddenly I realized I had to change my perspective of view and that helped enormously!

Didn't find just one found two in the same place about a meter apart. Lol two for the search of one. Found with muggle Lex passing through the area
Took out my Muggle bro out to show him caching he showed me up and found it TFTC Buffykim
This really should of been a lot more difficult than it turned out to be. Given the location and container I can see how you could loose hours here, luckily for me however 5 minutes passed before I was back in the car writing this log happy days

Quick dash for the cache
A few muggles around but ok.
Cheers BuffyKim! [^]

Day 49 of streak.
Haven't tried the new one, but I found a tried and true old style cache container.

Found it but not where I thought it would be considering the hint. Nice hide though.
WayneCogo again said those magic words...only after having to explain ourselves to some questioning kids, was a hard one this very hard to be sneaky here TFTC!
This was a funny one with quick thinking on my behalf, what happened to stranger danger? Kids don't come talk to us..! So us 'Council workers' were 'structural engineers' inspecting the area.. They bought it and soon moved on so we could get to the find... lol
Quick little find on the way to Canberra. Dusk and there were some pretty questionable looking older men around the toilet block... TFTC

Crossed the 'border' to see Manly V Tigers ( and the right team won). This was just up the road from the stadium. Parked the beast and walked over to GZ. Was expecting a bench or seat with the hint, but concentrated around a structure. Sure enough acted like a troll and made the find. Hmmm...never seen one this colour Good spot, easyish find. TFTC.

Nearly got sprung by mower muggle but managed to hide under the bridge! Quick find of this little one. People using the picnic tables nearby too so couldn't really check the park out. TFTC!
Attempted my last for the day on dusk and while I suspected where to look, no way I was going to blindly feel about so, with bug spray and a torch, ducked out of sight of the rowdy party in the park across the bridge for a quick find. Signed my 13th log for today and ended with a nice round total tally of 1100.
This calls for all my gear , gloves tweezers , pen should not have worn white pants ha ha. Nice setting TFTC
Taking the scenic route to Canberra, stopped at this nice little park for a leg stretch and also a cache find as well. Thanks BuffyKim for the hunt.
6 am on a weekday morning. Muggles. 9 pm on a weekday night. Muggles. Midday on a Saturday. Park empty. Go figure. Got this one today. Not too hard a find. Thanks!
Had a look in the early hours for this one with no luck. I did come out with a blanket of cobwebs though. Will try again soon as I have a new idea...
so many spiders, so much muck under there, didn't want to feel around anywhere. Will try again another time.
Quick find while 'E' played on the swings and mum 'Y' kept an eye on him. Rule number one, always bring your tools then you don't have to walk back to the car to get them. SL-TFTF
Easyfind while passing here today. Spent more time rolling the log back up to go back in the cache. Six having big hands.

Had a good look, but extreme flooding over the last few days may have taken this one!???
