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

SL with Kjap and emailed CO,

TNLN TFTC

Once again than you for permission in logging this find given its status.

It was time to go home from my week in Bathurst for the V8 supercars Sad I didn't wanna leave Sad

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. Big Grin

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.

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.

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.
 
26-Jan-15
Well done thanks

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.
 
10-Jan-15
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.

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.
