Decided not to replace this one. Contents were found all over the ground at GZ. Muggle risk too high.
Came across here while looking for another cache today to find the contents of both containers strewn across the ground of gz. There was 2 containers there both of them labeled for this cache. I packed them back up and put them both back. Whats happening with it?
i took the tb and moved it on

This cache is now ready to go again with the usual goodies inside. The original cache was missing along with the TB.
Hoojar brought me here because he had found it before and couldn't locate it either. Its MIA maybe?
Quick find - The Geomissus made the find even though the Geokid was scratching through the undergrowth in earnest.
Dropped off a TB and picked up the Geocoin.

Found today by Mr Emu right on dusk, @ 7.10 p.m., GAFF1 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF . There was a personal trainer and his victim right by the initial WP, but they seemed to be too busy chatting and sweating to pay me much mind.
Once the final coordinates were calculated and I'd made my way to the GZ , I was left with many options - some more difficult to explore in the near-dark than others. In the end I used that old geocacher's standby "if I were a geocacher, where would I hide it?" Luckily I am, and it was in the first place I looked. Gotta love it when a plan works out like that!
Nice to visit this lovely area again, and see it from a different perspective - particularly WP1 and the GZ. I had been around here many times before, but had never taken a close look. Thanks for the cache "diamond dog".

Discovered: "Fehrgo Australia 2007 #1" geocoin (however it's currently logged into Arm's Reach)

Enjoyed our first multi-cach ! Can't wait for the next one. Cach in good condition.
Found this one during my lunch break at a nearby training course. The find was easy but as I was filling out the log a personal trainer brough his trainee into the area where the cache was hidden and went on to do about a 20 minute work out. So the container went for a walk to find the other nearby cache and was replaced about half an hour later...... dam those fitness freaks... anyway TFTC, TNLN, Greg
Came back yesterday and found it! Unfortunately I didn't have my swaps with me so SLTNLN.
Well, I think calculated GZ correctly - ended up crawling all around the area but with no luck. The incoming shower and storms cut my search short, but I'll be back soon
Found on a dull & dreary afternoon without a muggle in sight. Luckily Mr Whippy was still hanging around nearby and we got an icecream after taking the GeoCoin from the cache.
This was our second attempt with too many muggles and not enough time on New Years Day. Today we retrieved the cache OK but had to go for a bit of a walk before we could put it back. We swapped The Unknown Soldier for Elchrich Elch.
Found easily after answering the questions.
What wasteful things wars are.
Left two coins and a TB
Took Nothing.
Thanks for the well thought out cache.

This was a good cache. I am hoping that it wasn't a memorial as there were a hole lot of names here for the Vietnam war! I quickly worked out the requirements and spotted the cache from a fair way away as it was uncovered. I signed the log and then covered it as best I could.
Thanks diamond dog for the cache!

Found the answers and the cache after watching numerous people come and go. It's good to see the interest this memorial generates.
After almost a month with no finds it was good to jump back into the swing of things with this hide less than 400m from my bedroom!
What better way to spend a wet, wild and windy Summer's afternoon!
Cheers!

Rocked up at the cache and took shelter behind the required side of the memorial. As greg and I worked on the clues the Wind and the rain picked up. Once at Gz the cache was in hand in no time.
The walk home proved to be less enjoyable than we had first thought as we probably should have just swam home
Cheers,
Daaave.

Felt a sense of deja vu visiting this memorial to help solve a multi cache. Took the time again to read all the names and ponder what might have been. Then some quick calculations and onto GZ to find a well stocked and well hidden cache, which was much larger than I was expecting. TFTC DD

Not sure of the date and pretty sure it wasn't 31st but anyway... did all the calcs but didn't get the cache as others were camped on top of it and our party was keen to get out of the wind. So will have to come back again one day.
I have worked on this for a week, due to lack of time for first find, I like it especially because my uncles memorial is one of the grey posts

What a wonderful way to remember the soldiers who served our country in Vietnam. Thanks for bringing us to this place diamond dog. We took the Wise Old Owl TB to drop in another cache but did not notice the Geocoin in the cache on our visit.
I love a nice quick multi. A place for all of us to visit and reflect.
Nice one Diamond Dog.

Great to see another cache in the heart of the Gong. This is a lovely spot with a bit of history to go with it. My hometown was the first to recognise these vets so its good to other places getting behind the boys.
Thanks for the well thought out cache. TNLN

Decided to tag along with the Gribbly's this evening and did my part with working out the co-ords of GZ. Have been here many times...what a good idea for a cache. Well done Diamond Dog....

Found this one with Charlie of Krafty Charlie fame. Thought we might grab a FTF but alas it was not to be. Speedy Steeba is getting much too quick off the mark. It is a great cache for kids. Even the 2.5yr old Gribblet could participate in most of the fun. Mrs Gribbly made the find and little G claimed a toy dinosaur. left two swaps and a Trogan TB, Took the Georgia TB. Thanks for another enjoyable cache DD.
Well the new cache appeared and decided to have a crack just before the work Christmas party. Pretty straightforward multi- I do enjoy a good war memorial so this was a good one.
Once final co-ords were in hand cache was quickly located and FTF made. Grabbed Kenny the Lion and left Appalachain Geocoin and Unite for Diabetes TB.
Thanks for a real enjoyable cache.
