Logs
As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Had a good look for this one, but couldn't find it. For a 1 star difficulity I thought it wouldn't be too hard. Hope it hasn't been muggled.
Last day of caching in Australia for me today so I took my little cousins out again for some treasurehunting. This was an easy find, although I was the only one who could reach it [:-)].
This cache must somehow have a cloak of invisibility but cleverly placed. TFTC.
A little tricky until we read the hint!! 4 little geokids running everywhere trying to find it first - geomum finally found it!! Great camo.
A quick and easy find as I made my way around on my bike, in fact I barely needed to get off the bike

No one at the bus stop but had to pick the moment to make a quick grab and then again returning the cache. Nice bit of camo. TFTC
Found today on a bike ride.
We loved the camo.
Signed log with low muggle activity on a sleepy Sunday.

if this was on the ground, i'd think it was something a dog left behind. Tftc.
Found by Mary & David at 1315. Everyone must be turned off by the weather, or having a long lunch. Very few cars about at the critical time, and nobody at the bus stop. Our thanks to The Fighting Mongooses.
A nice hide though it was clearly visible from the car, perhaps some of the covering bark may have broken off. No muggles or buses. TTNLNSL Thanks to The Flying Mongooses for the cache.
remarkable that once you know it is there you can see it from the car! TFTC

Out for a night caching raid with Paris Laura, This took embarrassingly longer than it ought to have!
If I had read the clue earlier, we might not have covered every square inch of that Bus-Stop for 10 mins!

Found this with 3 other geovoluntold's (inside joke) where here at 6.50 pm nice hiding spot. Thought it was a turd.

Needed to go for a walk until the bus took the muggles away and then I started looking. As I approached a car pulls up, window winds down, hints are shouted out and then the car drives off! Hmm, evidently a geocacher who didn't recognise me or it would have been bricks being thrown! Amazing this has survived the wildlife and birds.
Heading back to the office so stopped to give this one a go. Had a chuckle thinking how many people go past or are standing so close to this awesome cache in plain sight and don't even know it. TNLNSL Thanks for this little gem with excellent camo job.
Quick find (once the bus stop had cleared of both bus and passengers).... great cammo!!! TFTC
The day of the SA election
Are we headed in the right direction?
I am - up The Parade
And park in the shade
Today it's an easy selection

Love the cammo job. Very impressive.
Cheers and happy caching.

Love these ones. Had to wait until all muggles had moved on then pounce. Good camo. TFTC SL
Me and Johnrkennedy found this while biking around my old childhood stomping grounds. What an awesome cache! Camouflaged in the tree like a champ. Muggles kept walking past but we pretended to be messing with our bikes.
Quick and easy find once bus travellers had boarded their vehicle. Good camo. TFTC
A quick easy find as the cache is now clearly exposed. The wild storms in the past week have decimated the tree and most of it has fallen down. TThere is a great big gap where the cache used to sit, so nicely hidden away. If it wasn't for the fantastic cammo it would be gone by now. I feel lucky to have made find, may pay to check it out and look at an alternative little nook!
Thanks for a great cache and even better cammo [o)]
Cheers and Happy Hunting Shane4

Very nice camo, we were worried it would be gone because nearby were cut off branches. Owner may want to investigate in the near future if tree survives

No-one at the bus stop which made it easier. Great cache. Geo kid no 1 had it in hand rather quickly.

This one really amused me. It's right there in the open staring everyone right in the face yet it still took a couple of seconds to see it for some reason. Thanks for the great cache.
Interesting container in the obvious spot (plain sight) !

now we have the 100 find trackable we are just getting around to logging it through.
About time I found this one... I walk past the GZ whenever I go to work, but the cache was always out of my reach... Anyway, this time it was just within my reach!
Great cache. i must say.. this is one of the best disguised caches i have seen! Well done!
Did this on a sunday afternoon, so no worries with muggles at bus stop.. only at passing cars.. but Geo hubby had a great "cough and reach' system in play! lol

nice cache. easy find for our number 3. (yeah we're new!) Will for TeamAwesome2009
My second attempt at this cache. The first time the GPS had me barking up the wrong tree. Today with no GPS and no one at the bus stop it was much easier.

Nice camo, signed log in car then waited for bus to come and remove waiting muggles for replacement. TFTC
1797. Top camo. There were people waiting for a bus as we approached but a short while later the bus arrived and I was able to use it as a shield to retrieve the cache.
TFTC and the fun hide.

Found this cache with froghoppin and have since created my own team name and currently logging previous finds after discussions with other cachers at a recent event TFTC
Who put the cache all the way up there! Actually given the current camo it's probably better off where it is. It's a quiet night shift right now and I'm re-creating the original (better) camo on a new cache so when Mongoose Micro III is ready I'll put it back a little lower down... or not. I'd love to drive past and see you guys trying to reach it!
Drove past this one three times and it took until late at night for the area to be muggle free. Kettle twin 1 spotted it quickly! Clever camo. TFTC
mmmmmm not very far from my place..... less than 400m.... thanks for the cache
