Having a previous finder at hand was beneficial here today, when he confirmed I was on the right spot, but no cache. Think this one is gone.
Well after replacing it 3 weeks ago it has gone missing again so this time it is goodnight and goodbye.
Our thanks to all the Teams who have logged such positive comments on this one.

Not sure if I was searching the wrong place but took a seat, checked thoroughly but have to log a DNF on this one.
Intresting buildings around there and a cool hiding spot.

Out night caching in the Sunbury and Riddells Creek region with my mate Blacklegend (Marshy). Nice location for a cache. Didn't have a problem locating and signing the cache, not a muggle in sight. Thanks for the hide.
One of 31 on a night run with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671) this time in the Sunbury and Riddels Creek areas. Nice hide. No muggle trouble at 2.20 am, so an easy find tonight. TFTC.
Brilliant, one of those caches you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for it!

As we found the cache we decided to sit down and rest just for a little, while we all signed the log. The church here is quiet nice and would probably make a nice backdrop for some nice wedding pictures. TFTC.
Up in the area looking at a few houses, why not add a bit of caching along the way? This was a tricky one to get in the hand around 1545hrs, with all the muggles about, but with an active 21mth old, it was easy! Clever hide! TFTC!!!

First find together with the kids. Very enjoyable especially when we then invited mum to look for it and she needed a lot of hints from the kids.
Cache 5 at 2015. Try 3. Arrived at GZ and found 2 YLs searching for cache, who was found it. SL, great place for the cache TFTC
Not many places you can hide a cache on this structure, and the muggles wouldn't even know!
Thanks Team Ladava. for this hide.

This cache was the second cache i ever found with my friend who introduced me to it, but i was still new to the game and didnt have an account when i first found it.
So as i was passing through Sunbury this time i thought it was about time to stop off and grab this one once again and point it out to my friend that was with me.
Left a mini dice.
Thanks for a great hide

On our way down to Melbourne to catch our plane up to Cairns, this was Number 3 on our trip today.
#583 @ 4.10pm. We were caching our way around Sunbury as we were staying here the night before setting sail on the Spirit of Tasmania the next day. We really enjoyed the area here and the beautiful blue stone building nearby. Great hide, we were lucky to have in sight as quickly as we did.

Very clever hide. I spotted it quite quickly but we had to wait for a passing muggle. Then it was off to find the 9th cache of the day.
looked every where and couldnt find this one but after asking some friends a clue was given and the cache was located.
Spotted on a quick walk around of GZ and the coast was clear to extract. Very clever and different hide, liked it Had better luck here then on the Sunbury Gun, which was cool, but failed to yield its cache Cheers from Sydney!

Very Very clever, just about gave up thinking this one had been muggled, had there been two, one at each end i dont think we would have found this one.
Many thanks for the clever sneaky hide.

Sat with the 3 yo on a park bench watching the birds and the one or two people around at that time of day and surreptitiously trying to spot likely places for this one. A couple of nearby structures seemed possible, but no luck. Was just about to give up and head back to the car when I spotted it. Very well done. Had to wait for an elderly lady and her carer to toddle past before pulling it out. The 3yo returned it and I made sure it was in properly.
WOW l finally found it - my first find ever. My iphone got me within 10 metres (or so it said), and while l was standing around trying to decide which way to walk next, suddenly l saw something not quite right. Lo and behold, it was the cache! Very cleverly concealed, l'm amazed at the effort put into creating and concealing it. Thanks!
My #3 of 10 on a "getting closer to the big kilo" expedition with EuDes to the Sunbury area. The 2 of us and Jeffrey the dog enjoyed walking through the park in the fading autumn sunshine. The very cunning container was spotted by EuDes' experienced eyes but I'm sure it would be all but invisible to muggles.
Thanks Team Ladava - I really do appreciate the effort that goes into constructing custom cache containers.

Third on our afternoon excursion with ssmc4, we nabbed this very clever hide quite quickly at 16:55. This is the type of hide that really makes one smile as so many muggles would remain blissfully unaware of its existence even though they are so very close to it . Kudos to you Team Ladava .
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Team Ladava.

Found It! @ 2:45pm before the storms hit. Hard to get to when theres a wedding on!
No-one about today to disturb the search.
And search I did, until something unusual caught my eye.
Really appreciate the nice bit of work put into this cache.
Thanks again, Team Ladava FTC

14-02 15th find of the day at 15:37 and 910th find in total.
We bought lunch near our last find and as we were walking out Spice said we should find a nice park to eat it in.
So here we are and for desert we had a find, YUM!
Another container just made for the hide, great job.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks Team Ladava for the caching fun!
*** Note for the owner: the log full.

Another one hidden by Team Ladava. It was a very sneaky hide. I will have to buy my own GPS and set a few caches of my own in our "backyard".
very well hidden! took me and grandpa a while to find. the police come and took some people away so had a bit of entertainment!
Took me a while to sort out the location. Very well hidden.
I love these great stone buildings. Nothing like it around home.

Number 5 of 11 on a quick afternoon of caching with my excellent driver - Mrs Iamapom. Love this container. Very slick. Had us "ooooooh"ing and "arrrrrrrr"ing. Nice work. TFTC
Number 4 of 10 in another Happy Jester late night caching binge
Found at 3:25 am.

Found at around 14:45. We had the entire Green to ourselves.
If it hadn't been for another cache of a similar container by the the Team I might have spent a lot longer on this one. It can only be in one place really - but what a superb camouflage job!!
And what a lovely place to have so close to the shopping precinct.

A very easy find in a nice little park surrounded by Churches. Thanks for the cache
Waited until the coldest wetest day we could imagine and still took three passes to elude the muggles. But we got there and find was fairly easy with the available hints. Very impressive ingenuity in this hide. It was easy to imagine us in a John LeCarre novel in the middle of Prague while finding this clever urban cache. TFTC TNLN

24th of September, 2009
New to the official world of caching but have been involved since 17th of April 2009 (my first cache find). But have only just gotten a log name. Time to log all the wonderful caches that I have been finding since I have been caching with The Empire. My name in the log book is H.
This was my third big caching day with The Empire. By this point, I had sort of developed an eye for spotting caching.
Quick find.

Just down from the country, we were visiting the Easter Bunnies and they recommended this cache as one of their favorites. We had "a go" and now understand why. Picked up the TB and we will move it on. TFTC as this is a special one for sure..lucky to be a muggle free afternoon..maybe the windy, cold weather had something to do with it.
This village green is quite special, we loved the old buildings. We also loved the hide, very clever. No-one at all was around, so retrieval and logging was easy, fortunately. Thanks for the cache.
We pulled up here earlier today to find a couple of muggles enjoying their lunch in the lovely winters sunshine not far from where the GPS was pointing so we did a couple of more caches before returning to find the whole green vacant. Even with no one around it took longer than we expected to locate the cache and we were suitably impressed with the workmanship.
There is no sign of the TB in the cache
Thanks Team Ladava for an enjoyable cache

Youngest had her hot little hands in the right spot and came up with the goods. If it were not for her, we may not have even found this cache. The hiding spot and the way it blended in with the environment was most ingenious, especially the use of symmetry to avoid easy detection. How in the world did you managed to think of such an idea? It’s caches like this that get us craving for more interesting and unique hides. Very well done! Thanks Team Ladava for a very memorable cache. One that we will not forget easily.
Found at 1.0pm GAFF1 on our "Catch up with Sunbury and Melton" weekend in the company of Ian&Penny.
Once again I&P were keen to see how we would approach this cache so they came along as observers. The pressure was on, but for some reason the right cache was immediately found - just a fluke we must say.
Thanks Team Ladava for a tricky hide.
