Hi Dogboy_56

Solved the puzzle as per the listing, and then finally read your log. The temporary coordinates should be in the listing or the cache should be disabled...it isn't appropriate to put the temporary coordinates in a maintenance log.

Thanks for the fun hunt anyway - we didn't have time to head over to the temporary gz

laced at temporary location, im sure some of you have been here before

I will replace this one in temporary spot next week. It will remain here until the work is completed when it will return with its new container

I think I found it but many muggles around at lunch time.
The cache container is visible from a distance, so I,m going back after work.
It may be a good idea to take it off line soon as it looks like the local council will be doing major landscaping all around there in the near future
 
22-Jun-08
This one will be having a rest on thursday afternoon. I will take it for a month or two while the work is starting, and i will upgrade container. Have fun and try to find by then

Found after a brisk early morning walk. Dropped off Hobo Coin TB. Thanks for the cache.
 
23-May-08
Your comments about a nano threw me off! Even had my friend put his fingies down a nasty looking spider hole. Then just walking around I looked in and laughed.

Bold as brass to hide that there!

One muggle got a bit interested in us, but with a couple of pairs of eyes to keep a look out, I think we got away with it in the middle of the day. Not easy.

Left 2 brand new batteries. Took nothing. Signed Log. Thanks for the Cache!

Dogboy went to day and looked,
im sorry to disappoint you oddee but its there, you just need to look harder,
either you got it in the wrong spot or you have not looked right
anyway still there

This cache has gone missing. We came here today with some caching friends just after the mothers day fun run. Looks like, due to all the cleaning up of the area for the fun run, that it was muggled.
 
04-May-08
Easy find but so many people about. Hoojar and i had to be quite sneaky. The old 'tie the shoe' trick.
 
16-Apr-08
We done half of this cache last weekend but muggles were everywhere - We came back tonight and although it was closing time the people from the takeaway shop were reluctant to leave with us hanging aroung. We walked away a bit till they left and then went in for the find.
It was muggle free but hard to spot in the dark!

Found today by Mr Emu @ 7.30 p.m., GAFF1 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF while on a business trip to the 'Gong. Enjoyed the initial WP as it is in an area I regularly walk around on my visits. Surprised where GZ was - even in the dusk/early dark it was very muggley. If you decide to rest while searching, the cache can be accessed & logged without the finder standing out. However in broad daylight I would certainly prefer to have my "cover" with me (my 9-year old son, Demon Boy).

A bold hide for a regular-sized cache. Thanks for the cache Dogboy_56.

Took: Nil; Left: Nil

Did it during the week which made it easier to find. Found cach in good condition.
 
29-Mar-08
The cache was neat although there were too many feet.
We soon had the cache in hand, just as we had planned.
Signed the log and put it back, left the scene and took our pack,
Thanks Dogboy 56

Gribbly & Mrs Gribbly grabbed this one at night during our first night free from the kids since Gribblet No2 was born. A clever spot to hide the cache meant we could do the deed even while there were some muggles in the vacinity. Took a boxing Kangeroo travel bug that is not shown in the inventory. I am impressed a regular was hidden in such a popular area. TFTC

Got it while caching wiht the Dogboy who wanted to do a cache chek

Second time lucky..... everyone had moved on today and I had no problems filling out the log. TFTC TNLN
 
17-Mar-08
A cache so close to home, and yet for some lazy reason I hadn't attempted it yet... Enter an evening with motivation and it was time to hit the pavement.

As it turns out GZ is about a hundred metres from my bedroom. Who'd have thought!

Cheers!
 
17-Mar-08
Well I did find it...... sort of...... but a family had sat about 2 metres away from it so I thought I'd leave it until another day.
 
15-Mar-08
Located GZ on an afternoon Pushbike ride to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary (as you do), but to many muggles around to collect. Came back in the late night dark, still muggles around but they were preoccupied with each other. Quickly grabbed cache, signed log and replaced, too dark to actually see what had been left behind in the cache. TFTC

Excellent cache - few muggles about, but not as many as normal due to windy cloudy weather. took nothing, left Ballons Geocoin
 
05-Mar-08
Had done half of this on a previous occasion and today had more opportunity to finish the task. Forgot about the theme and had just left a scout badge in a nearby cache but too lazy to go back and get it. Left a lenght of cord that would be handy when scouting. Also left a small Geocaching sticker/transfer. TNSL. Thanks.
 
25-Feb-08
There wasn't many hiding spots near GZ, but that wasn't really an issue because the cache was clearly visible. Not many muggles around today.
 
19-Feb-08
After the previous aborted attempt and with new co-ords went to GZ and parked close by. Managed to find the cache even before the GPSr had even fired up! Thanks Dogboy.
 
18-Feb-08
We were out 'n' about today so decided for a bit of a dip in the basin. Then i remembered there being a new cache nearby. After a phone call for the details I did my maths and was back where the family was swimming.
The cache is so hidden that I could have been someone just stopping to have a rest. Did a coin swap and was on my way. Thanks
 
18-Feb-08
found it by touch
 
17-Feb-08
Collected the required information from the plaques a few days ago but the resulting coords had me at either a very grassy spot not far from the plaques or swimming in Belmore Basin. The clue was certainly not going to help at either location. Thankfully Dogboy amended his latitude coords and a much more obvious GZ was found and the cache was then located easily.

Easily nabbed

On my honour I promise to do my best to find the cache, Sign the log, do proper swaps and return it to its correct hiding hole and to live by the Scout Law.
This I did
I wonder if the container came from your last camp???
I have seen youth members devouring the contents of a similar container over a 1 hour period and wonder why they felt sick afterwards!!!

Ive checked this and it is not in the water. Try walking around the basin and see what happens. Have fun chaching

Found on the second attempt after some hints from Dogboy. He will correct the coordinates today. Use 6265 in your calcs and Latitude should read S34° 25.309. These should keep your feet dry.
Left Big M Jamborrette badge Took Nothing SL.
 
12-Feb-08
Well was a little confused prior to heading out for this one but nonetheless found the plaques and plugged in the numbers... and ended up either a) in Belmore Basin or b) in the middle of the grass. Had a look around possible hiding spots then bumped into travells having similar issues to me. Some work needs to be done on this one...
 
12-Feb-08
Sorry for any confusion, i had forgotten to change the latitude coordinates. I hope you are going to find this cache now#thnks
Dogboy
 
11-Feb-08
Tried this after work but the coords do not seem right. There are two figures to subtract from and neither put me near the hint. One was in the water and the other 15m from a possible bush.
