Somebody has crawled into the hiding spot and taken a dump, they left a nice little pile of toilet paper for me to find.
The ammo can is also missing, presumed stolen. (probably by the phantom shitter).
Either way, it's gone.

I'm going to drop in on this one this afternoon. I have had contact from a player (Thanks Goughy2012) that indicates it has been muggled.
Hope not but I'll check anyway.
Cheers

Hmmmm This one has been destroyed photos have been sent to the CO as well as a request for their permission in logging this cache. (Thank you for letting us collect a smily here)
We found the GZ with enough ease but got distracted by what i think to be a beautiful Australian Little Falcon gosh these birds of prey we have in our country are AMAZING. During this trip for the first time in my life i was able to witness the majestic power and beauty of the Wedge Tailed Eagle in the wild and lets say i love these birds they are the most beautiful things in the world. Shame NSW still issues licenses to shoot them.
Anyway where was i
Are yes we found a suitable location to enter said tree and alas the log book has been broken up and thrown all over the ground No ammo tin was to be found here and there is remnant of a plastic box here as well. We signed a bit of paper and tried to get to the box and put some back together hopefully they are still there, and emailed the CO straight away to inform them of the cache status and to request permission for a find.
Sad to see old caches like this being left like this by muggles. Would love for them to just leave things as they were. Any who

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Great bit of history. Amazing person Billy must have been! This cache gets a favourite point from us
Dropping off 3 trackables.
Thanks for the fun suzukifreak_1!

It was time to go home from my week in Bathurst for the V8 supercars I didn't wanna leave
I spotted this one on the way towards Bathurst and I was intrigued to see the statue so I decided I would call in on the way home. [:p]
Cache found quickly, signed the log and replaced the cache. I was expecting something a bit bigger than what I found and unfortunately there are no trackables within the cache as identified.
Thanks for the cache placement suzukifreak_1
btw GO HOLDENNNNNNNNNN!!!! Lowdsy you little beauty

Soo easy. Container smaller than stated. No sign of the two listed TBs. Left a purple jewel. TFTC.
Easy find and a great place stop and learn a little more about a town we pass through so often. (Shame about the syringe found near the statue)
Stopped past here on our way from Bathurst to Cowra, which was just one leg of our road trip from Beaufort Vic, up to Wisemans Ferry (for the Tom Quilty horse endurance ride) and back again.
This indeed was a worthwhile stop, not only for a leg stretch, but to read the story of Billy Soo. Indeed an inspiring gentleman for the local community. Thank you suzukifreak1 for bringing us here.

Moving story. Sorry to read about his untimely end. Good use of Geocaching...

Found it on a wet Easter Monday while heading home from Cowra. Quick find in a soggy park thanks to the hint. TFTC
Had to laugh. As I pulled up the rain had set in and I thought I was muggled out because there was a guy standing under the shed. As I pulled in it all clicked I stopped to read about a remarkable man and then went to find a perfect cache. Many thanks for putting out a good one.
Found thankyou easy to find for the kids and they had a ball looking threw the treasures also good to teach them just to add something :
This one could easily be called a 'drive-by', and the cache was soon in hand. I read the story about Billy Soo, although his life experiences could well describe many similar during those years, but it was a shame that he came to a fateful end. Left a mygear geo trackable, and an abalone shell from Tasmania. TFTC
A quick dive into GZ had me holding the cache, no Trackable inside though. TFTC
Day 79 of my trip to Brisbane.
Seventh day on the road, today we're headed for Young. We'll have brekky, do a few caches in Bathurst, then head off, caching the while. I'm a bit late with the logging, I'm home now, and have five days of caching to log, of which this is the fourth. Have I made 1000 caches on the trip? Today's twenty gets me to 994.
No 11 of 20 today. Thanks, suzukifreak_1. Interesting bit of history, thanks for bringing us here. There was a persistent muggle, so I had to walk the GeoSchnauzers around until he left. They, of course, wanted him to stay. Once he left, I found the cache quickly.

Billy is a great Chinese name, Yeh, as description states, it was a quick find.
Thank you very much for that type of container, we love that type.

Easy find. No trackables though. Also wasn't closed properly and was home to hundreds of earwigs. Yuck! Think I managed to get them all out but left a (rubber) lizard inside to take care of any that might've gotten back in. TFTC.
TFTC Ps ont recall seeing any travelbugs

Very interesting about history - impressed - good hide spot - took trackable and signed the log. Thanks suzukifreak 1.
I didn't have my gps with me, but I was going past to look at the look out and couldn't resist stopping. the clue was helpful although not specific, so my son and I ran around like headless chickens, checking all the places that matched the hint.
Nice little spot.

#169. Nice cache but was very disappointed that the CLARETS travel bug seems to have gone missing as this was the reason for coming out here today... Who took it & where has it gone?!
Looking for my travel bug "Claret" but not amongst various items. Have lost contact with said item.
There is a story in this one maybe the current and previous government should come and read.. Thanks for find #999 on our countdown to 1000!
Found it at 4:00am during literal blizzard conditions! First geocache for me. Thanks!
This was avery easy find, but I re-covered it with leaf litter to make it slightly harder for the next potential finder.

Found today been on the list for a while many tbs here that haven't been logged into the cache. Took a couple to move on left a soldier and a car
seriously? I just dropped them off and went home to log them. What are the chances???
My trip today was from Bathurst to Queanbeyan, stopping at a few caches along the way. As I drove up towards GZ, I thought I saw a muggle where I wanted to be. Then I realised, it was Billy himself. Found the cache without any difficulty.
My thanks to suzukifreak_1 for the cache.
