Thanks to cosmo.xeon for the update. I visited the cache last night and unfortunately it's been taken and is nowhere to be found.

Due to the nature of the cache, it is not easily replaceable so this listing will be deactivated until a suitable replacement can be found.

was in the area ...thought to leave log which I had to miss when I dropped my writing equipment last time and also wanted to scare the wits off a muggle accompanying me, but the cache is gone!! ... searched everywhere in the GZ for an hour till it was well past midnight. Cant say its muggled or removed for maintenance, found a lot of thrash on the way. Snakes are very very very very active in the area ...so be careful and if possible take a good long walking/poking stick.

Just a warning, beware of the snakes. There's some big Dugites in that area, believe me I've seen them!!!!

OzMom just blowing things up out of proportion. On the contrary, I like this cache but it does scare the shit out of me! TFTH, SharksXV.

I have mixed feeling about this cache – should we ban it or leave it as it is and perhaps one day someone will die out of heart attack. Just joking! An excellent cache. TFTH.

Holy Smoke! This cache scares the shit out of everybody! There are a few caches in this world that could possibly kill people, this is one of them! For the faint hearted please don’t try this! TFTH, regardless.

For the incredible effort put into the design of the cache and successfully conveying the effect of the hide, this cache deserves merits from geocachers! Though we went during daylight, we agree with SharksXV…go hunt at night!!! TFTC. Greeting from Geocaching Malaysia in Facebook.

Found it at 21:00 hrs approx .... it was amazing to see my mate blabber in shock after reaching the spot...
In-spite of reading the logs and expecting something scary...this sure gives u the creeps ... surely felt like bolting from the scene ....
One of the best caches that I have found ...
TFTC..
ps: dropped the pen on the way ...so couldn't leave log.....

already knew what we were looking for (through a friend's recommendation) but still gave us a proper fright upon discovery!!
what better night than halloween to do our first nightime cache?? so impressed, great job guys, TNLN TFTC!!!

went back did this cach at night with mr J after picking him up from airport. great cach guys even freaker at night dropped off tb picked up tb

We found it this morning, too chicken to go looking at night time, just as well as it scared the shyte out of me!
Great cache, loved it!

21.00hrs: Chief Detective Senior Super Sergent Johnson & 2 new police recruits, 3rd Class Constables Shadow & Minger had just finished a hard days work when the call came in. Trouble at the old Murder site. Grabbed paddy wagon and headed straight to the scene. Not much to go on, only a vague clue was given as to the whereabouts of suspect. After searching through dense scrub, a potential perp was discovered. After a severe bout of police brutality the suspect was deemed to be ‘armless. So unknowingly to him, we left a tracking device on suspect, and left him to his own devices. Meanwhile myself and fellow officers decamped back to donut shop.

What a grizly find. Great idea for a cache. thanks for the cache. I left a bunch of geocoins somewhere today. If anyone finds them will you please let me know.

On way home from work with work mate Josh his first cache.great cache guys xx

Finally went in search of this fabled cache, which lived up to it's reputation. Good job and thanks for the hunt. Took musical elf and left shiny things.

Good stuff, had fun... Very creative down my local..

Had fun finding it,first one we found together. My dad and i. Thanks guys.

Great night time hunt and good work out for legs on the soft sand. Took TB and left a yellow toy car TFTH

I verify Chief Detective Woodvale Warriors' assessment of this find. In pursuit of the "perp" we arrived late to the scene. It appears he was already disarmed.

Loved the cache. Great night caching. TNLNSL.

Went on a nighttime caching run with Magwing and WoodvaleWarriors to find this great hide. It ended up being a great night for wandering thru the bush to the scene of the dastardly deed.

Left the 'The First - The Traditionalist' TB - but it was a tight squeeze!

TFTH

It was a dark and stormy night .... Actually it wasn't although the day started out that way it had cleared to a mild winters evening. I started out on my CSI jaunt in the company of Inspector Magwing and Detective Perrycom. Inspector Magwing was visiting from a country branch where he recently moved to carry out some investigations on a series of Kangaroos kidnappings. Using our Police issue tracking devices and illumumination devices we started out leaving our vehicles behind and headed bush. The shadows were dark and long and phantoms appeared at every turn, the sand seemed to want to pull us down into the depths as we wandered along. It soon became necessary to leave the track and head into the scrub - spiders assailed us but with a quick fire from my Glock 45 and a blast from Magwings sawn off we cleared the way, Perrycom lead the way to GZ and we started our Crime Scene Investigation. It was Magwing (he without the torch) who came upon the grisly find (xxxx the following text has been censored by the Police censorship squad xxxx) Photographic evidence was taken of the scene - but the evidence was left undisturbed.

Thanks for hunt !!!

Blade 05 what a cache had to laught out loud 100% for effort

TSLS TFTC SL

Great cache, this one was the best so far. did this one on my own
Left TB TFTC SL

did this one at night like it was suggested. I didnt realise that this place was just around the corner from where my car was crashed after it was stolen from my house a few months ago!
took nothing, left 'shaw family boo-ya' geocoin

TFTC!

PS. there was no pen/pencil in the cache so we didnt get a chance to sign the logbook will do it when we are around that area another time

Congratulations on an awesome cache, i must admit we did this one during late afternoon (daylight) but none the less it was a very enjoyable cache to do.

On the way in we examined the extensive evidence as we went, a discarded door painted yellow was a dead give-away to the cache's whereabouts!.."what do you mean?" asked my fellow crime scene examiner...
"Its a lemon entry.! my dear Watson!" i replied.

The crime scene was a gruesome one indeed, fingerprints were taken for further tests.

Well done for a very very good cache.
TNLNSL

Last find for the night,this would have to be one of my favourite finds yet.What a surprise!!!!Recommend everyone should go out of their way to find this one.Nice one.TFTH SL and took a few pics.

We arrived at the carpark area to find a freshly burnt out car, certainly a fitting cache for the location. It was brilliant and a great hide. Thanks SharksXV

Did this one at night, as my 100th cache, with Shael6636. What a stunning cache, SharksXV, you should be suitably proud. Thanks so much for the effort and attention to detail, most enjoyable!

Rated: for Overall Experience

WOW what ahide. One of the best if not the best cache I have found to date. Very clever hide. Thank you so much for the cache.........

Very Nice Hide.

WanderingAus wandered by and made a fairly quick GAFF 1 find at 2.40 PM. Good coords, and a very interesting scene.

My find No 1297, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped Mr Sticky TB (ref = TB1RJVF), Mum's Dreams TB (ref = TB2AAZQ) and my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

We waited until almost dark to set off from home and by the time we got there it was dark for sure. We found the parking spot and set off into the bush. For me, the bush itself is scary enough without doing it in the dark but this being a special cache (#600) I decided to suck it up. We only had one headlamp and didn't use it for most of the way there so as not to arouse any suspicion. As we got closer I turned it on and we started searching. I found the spot in no time and El Cacholoco bravely made the discovery. He didn't scream as predicted. As I was signing the log I looked up to see that the very full moon had risen on this Friday 13 and I felt the hairs on my neck stand up. We replaced the cache and found the trail to the car.
A great cache and memorable. I wish I had brought the kids as it really wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.
TFTC

Found just as the moon was rising. A good night for searching. There was quite a bit of rubbish in the area to watch out for and we saw a few flashing red and blue lights in the night.

Thanks SharksXV for an excellent and well thought out Cache. The young Mogs loved it and now want to bring their friends back with them to do it again. Mog

Accompanied with Varuna, We found the cache at 10.10pm. We enjoyed walk along to the cache (hate sand) eheh. Excellent camo, we admired your work. Glad the weather was perfect for night time. SL. Thanks SharksXV for wonderful organising the cache and hunt.

Recommend it

We enjoyed walking in the nighttime and it was fun except those sandy tracks ugh! We had a laugh and thought it was brilliant and one of the best caches we have ever visited. Thanks for fun and cache.

Eldest Indianna Geones Jnr Found it-It scared him witless. Female tip wear long pants-our legs were scratched to peices. Youngest Geones said it was creepy. took butterfly travelbug put in squishy toy. Small things only will fit.

Great Cache

Geez, the evidence was everywhere, it took time to log and bag everything.

For the next budding Forensic Entomologist (the next Gil Grissom) I have left behind the I.C.E. Swallowtail TB

TFTC

Went for a walk around the area, I even saw a roo on my way into the cache. Pity about all the rubbish dumped in the bush.

Got close to ground zero and put my crime scene apparel on, White overalls and gloves. I rummaged around collecting samples and tagging all the evidence, now off to the lab to analyze and collate the evidence Hopefully we will get a hit on the DNA Database! and then as they say we will have someone helping us with our enquiries.

Found the cache and thanks for the er how shall we say it the unusual container.

TNLN Thanks.

found with the help of ozzy babe. love the cache well done!

found with the help of Dad

Nice easy find on a public holiday. Did it during the day time.

very entertaining night cache. Very well thought of .TFTH

Nice place for a walk and yes it was a great find Thanks Swapped TB for Geocoin

Mr 1/3 had to be persuaded to include this in the day's hunting, but Weeest 1/3 was adamant; particularly as it was almost evening. Gorgeous wildflowers - felt a bit guilty walking towards GZ. Even spotted a donkey orchid. The verdict - "that's not scary" from the wee one! And well done from the older 2/3 . TNLN TFTH. Would love to see a muggle's reaction .. mwa ha haaa

At least if you are a "cacher" you know you are looking for something "suspicious". I hope the local authorities are aware of the "goings on" around here!

Just as the sun dipped below the horizon the investigation team reached the scene. At 1815 hrs we reached the conclusion that this was not due to foul play but the result of a shark attack. A great effort. We took the two travel bugs to move on and left the VW 'Bertram' for future getaways.
Left one.
TFTH.
Baudot
PS On our first attempt we left S 31 52 in the GPS from an earlier search the rest as listed and by coincidence this put GZ in the middle of the Channel Ten studios. We thought you were having a lend.

[Australian Branch] Brilliant, have to give you a hand for this one. Really enjoyed it...however did you think of it. Nearly didn't find it but the Geodogs had their noses to the ground and sniffed it out in true CSI fashion! TFTH.

What can we say but beep, beep, beep and TFTF!
(that's thanx for the fright NOT find)

Just re-logging the caches i have done under different team name (3BlindEyes)

Beaut day for a stroll in the bush with Mrs Hallows in the lead! A very creative hide indeed! Don't want to say too much - but Mrs Hallows reaction upon discovery of the cache was well worth the walk.
Thanks for the cache, SharksXV.

Never thought we'd find our favourite TV show in the bush! What an excellent cache! We did this at the end of a caching day with Mischief's Crew, and as requested, we waited until it was dark for the full effect. We had an enjoyable walk around 6:45pm to GZ and Ursula got quite a surprise when she found the cache.
This cache was great fun and we all had lots of laughs. Poor Ursula even fell over on the sandy track on the way back to the car, providing more laughs for us!
In case anybody is wondering where to park to get this cache, S31 51.575 E115 51.538 is a good spot. Thanks for the most enjoyable and memorable cache we've done yet SharksXV

Rated: for Overall Experience

Excellent! Well done! We did this at the end of a caching day with 3BlindEyes, we waited till dark for the full affect. After reading the logs we were very curious (include nervous with me) as to what we were going to find. Poor dude! Didn't scream or yell though.

We did a lot of laughing and well I have to say the whole voyage to and from this cache was brilliant fun.

Sorry Ursula but I have to tell - on they way back walking along the sand track. Mal was in the lead, then Ursula right in front of me and Gav coming up the rear. We were walking along just chatting as you do. It is a big track and there was one little stick along part of it. No other sticks or anything anywhere near it - it was just lying there minding its own business all alone. Ursula found it, tripped over it and hit the deck. Gotta be thankful for sand to soften the landing a bit. Did we laugh - well .... YES!

This will always stay in our book as the most memorable cache we have ever done - in every way!

Difficulty: 1 Terrain: 1.5 Effect upon finding: 4
We can certainly imagine how the greatest effect would be at night, but we can live without that. This cache was an experience and will remembered for a long time. Thanks for a brilliant hide SharksXV.

Enjoyed this one a lot, espically after reading all the pervoius logs, I knew I was in for an interesting find, but it wasn't what I expected. well done.
TNLNSL TFTH

Left this one as late in the day as possible without missing my return flight home. It was getting a bit murky and a bit spooky when I made the gruesome discovery. Absolute ripper. Highly recommended. Grabbed TB.

It was just as well that there was no one within earshot to hear my expletive when I discovered the 'scene'. Came with no notes so had no idea what I was looking for. Great cache. Took TB. Wanderlust had a quick wander in, but took fright. Thanks for the most enjoyable hunt, SharksXV.

Haha, a very good cache! Thanks for the enjoyment. Took nothing, left Good Wishes TB.

Oooooh! There's something spooky down in the bush. Came across the scene after sundown but before moonlight. Brought a shudder from Lady UltraVet. Thanks for this original cache. Grabbed Abida GC, placed Dutch Clogs (nijntje klompjes) TB. SL

went back this evening to see if the geocoin was indeed in the cache, but it was missing we didn,t see it on Sunday so we went to check
left Albida 007 GC

[AAAAAAAHHHH. What an awesome cache. I HIGHLY recommend this to be attempted at night] Scared the begeezus out of me. [It adds a Spooky dimension to the cache. Managed to get there seconds before Blingg (it was great to meet them both). This again is a great cache. TNLN SL..welll cept the FTF.]

just finished logging the day's finds, checked for anything new before logging off, and what's this ........... a cache 700m from the blingg residence. I now understand the meaning of "grab the keys, torch and gps and run out the door"
Down Mirrabooka ave, cross the school oval and plunge into the bush only to see a torch and camera flash ahead of us and hear a quakey voice from the dark saying "I think I've beaten you to it" Kaffine was there literally seconds before us. I don't know which scared him most, the cache or the strangers in the bush at night
a most original cache and definately one to be done at night for the full effect

Ok, let me try dropping off that GC again!
