Sounds like it's time to put this one to rest.
Too many people are searching for the hollow log, and then finding it scattered and gone.

we think this one was muggled as there were a few "swaps" scattered around.

Found it easy enough. The cache itself is smashed to pieces and the contents are strewn about.
We found this cache easily but It had been destroyed, the paper was wet and snails were munching on it, the contents were sprawled on the ground and the canister was smashed. Too bad, it was a good spot too.
Found this cache at 5:30 in the morning, so was little concerned that the neighbours would see the light from my gps. No one said anything so mustn't have been an issue. Yes I was enticed. TNLN SL.

TFTCSL. Great little hide, easy to find even when the iPhone wasn't working properly.
Thought I'd spied a likely hide approaching from the car but gps took me elsewhere. Cache was not as hidden as it could have been (maybe too big for this spot?) so an easy find. Tried to cover it up a bit more. A lot of previous entries mention log is full but if people wrote on both sides and didn't skip pages, there's still heaps of room!
Grabbed on the way back from the shopping centre up the road.
Easy find. All good even with a sprinkle of rain around.
Good child oriented cache. Much appreciated.
Took chalk. Left hot wheels car

Can you entice me? Yes you can and did! I must say, getting to gz was easy, but being so close to houses, made me wonder who was watching (team Noah maybe?) Saw cache and pulled it out to sign near the fence to hide me a little. There ARE lots of toys in there. SL which is full. TNLN. A nice little piece of bushland. TFTC.

Easy find, TFTC. Took frisbee and highlighted, left four smiggle pencil top rubbers.
Found it at night. Didn't read description to see it was a kids one and didn't have pen. covered it up better as was a bit exposed
My first ever official cache.. did it with my kids and two neices.. nice and simple beginers cache. TFTC
found it found new area my son thought it looked like a lollypop but i didn't [v] no wonder its child friendly [8] [?]
Note to others - Don't walk too close to the fence line on your way in as you will get the local dog agitated. Always a worry when your trying to quietly approach a cache and then the local mut awakens the whole neighbourhood.
Nicely stocked cache and a nice size, a bit hard to re-hide without any bits showing.

Even though I located the hiding spot of the cache, I'm logging a DNF as I didn't extract the cache and sign the log. The reason? Well, a neighbour across the road was getting into his car and his family, especially the younger members, were watching what I was doing as they had line of sight straight to GZ. I went for a stroll around the park but the neighbour stayed out the front so in the end I decided to give this one away for another day so as not to draw attention to the cache location.
There is another thought..... the neighbour may have been the cache owner!!!
I'll be back!!!!

Steveishere enticed me to some caching today after watching the boys play PSSA soccer. Took along geo-nan for her first cache and trek through the grass. TTB and plan to take him O/S.
This was a funny thing I took SUEprise with me and I thought I was looking for T71 and we could not find it anywhere.
A quick check of my Desire a walk back to the car and I realised I was looking for the wrong cache.DOH!!!,
So if the owner was watching I think he would have been laughing at us, as we went back to look for the this cache.
If anyone heard us it was because we were still laughing at my silly mistake.
Great Cache guy's this is a good one for the kids so maybe one day I will return with them.

3rd cache for the day. Took the younger siblings and they found it in 5 minutes. TFTC!
My daughter found this one on her own ... quite easily ... TFTC ... this one was good walk around the corner.
How this cache has not been muggled surprises me. I great sized container, although I didn't stay long as I feared being spied upon from the house next door.
Had to use a bit of stealth for this one as there was quite a few muggles across the road for an open home. Found quickly took trackable tftc
This was our first of sixteen today (our humble best day of caching so far) The boy, NickoHeap, was quickly onto this one. We left a big wooden trackable which is actually in place of a geocoin. Thanks.

Found with the help of @chrisjz who had been there previously so acted as our inital compass
Nice to see that some developer hasn't got their hands on this piece of bush. Had some first time cachers with us and hopeing to get them hooked on to the wonderful world of geocaching. Took purple squeezy thing and placed yellow ball.TFTC.

A nice quick find this morning in familiar territory. I can't help but wonder whether nearby neighbours may have been watching me through their windows.
TNLN and thanks team_Noah for the cache.

I guess you'll see what a large wooden 'lollipop' looks like, when you take a few steps back from GZ!
Coordinates were about 4 metres off, at least according to my Oregon 300, but that's quite close enough to find the only possible hiding place in this section of a rather thinly wooded little park. The big plastic screw-top container is nice and solid and contents are in good order. I gather this must be a newer version of the cache, having read the old logs. You won't have any trouble finding this one, and I suspect the only danger here is eventual muggling.
A little dog will probably bark at you from behind the fence. No-one else was around at 12 noon today and I had the park to myself. TNLNSL.

Easy find, stealth may be required to avoid people in the nearby house watching you.
Signed the log, took nothing, left a LED keyring.

Great description. It was almost dark but found our third cache. We took a purple ring and left a freedo chalk.
Last job for the day. Turn on GPS to see what is nearby. 300m away. Yes I could be enticed. Nice large container. TNLNSL. TFTC
Wow, found my second one, left a snowglobe didn't have the heart to take anything.
A great easy cache on a hot muggy day. Thanks Team Noah, lots of child-friendly swaps. Took nothing, left TB.
Nice easy find. Didn't take anything, but left the squirrel toy (Scratte) from Ice Age.

Quick and easy, no GPS, was not put back very well so hid it better.

I can't believe how much this area has changed in 20 yrs. This was all bush around the lollypop. Nice quick find. TFTC TNLangel.
Found this one without too much trouble. Cool cache - the first time I have seen one like it. TFTC!
Was working in the area today, so did this as my second last cache for the year. Awesome container, TFTC

Very quick find. Some care needed due to muggle school kids passing through area. Like the owner's use of recycle materials for cache - very green. However, container was damp as was log. We replaced log with a new one in a water proof plastic bag. Suggest a bit of TLC from owner ASAP. TNLN SL TFTC

Found this cache very easily. As previously logged, the logbook is quite damp. So replaced the log book with a new notepad and new snaplock bag with no holes in it.
Suggest the owner does some maintaince on the cache to make it a little more waterproof.

As GazMag said, the log was so wet we could hardly sign it. It desperately needs maintenance.
Found this with Hoojar.

It looked nothing like a lollipop to me, but maybe I am just not imaginative enough! The cache is soaking wet sadly and was difficult to sign.

Now I understand what everyone was talking about when referring to the interesting cache container. It rocks! We're new to geocaching and our first cache as husband and wife. All contents safe and dry. TFTH TNLN didn't get to sign the log book.
It seems strange to me because I found it without any problem? after you archived it. TFTH SL
Found at 15:00.
No muggle issues - My Oregon didn't show me that this cache was temporarily disabled and, now that I have read that, I think it is an over-reaction. The cache is fine.
I laughed when I saw the container - I carry an identical (functional) one in my boot. It was expensive, so I wonder what went wrong with this one to have it end it's days as a cache...
No muggle issues in a nice spot.

Walked right up to this one. Great container. There's a bit of moisture inside, but the log is fine.
TFTC. TNLNSL.
A different cache container for sure! Muggles doing garden work in the house next to the reserve were watching me like a Hawk! I sat down on a log and pretended to talk on my phone, whilst pretending to take notes in a diary. They dissapeared for a split minute so I jumped on the GZ and sorted it out! A little bit of moisture inside container but logbook is still ok! TNLN TFTC!

Foundthis one after Structurally Sound.
After viewing reports that this was off line due to no logs I printed ome from geocache.com before going out today.
Placed new log sheets in 2 ziplock bags to attempt to keep dry until repairs can be made

A nice easy find just on dusk, but the contents are still soaked and it's impossible to sign the log. A fascinating container, well done, and thanks for the cache.
This is a great idea for a container, but this one is definately NOT water proof. Attempted to sign the log but was pretty much impossible. Definately needs looking at.
Found it, it's a shame that the contents are swimming in water. What an awesome container though.
