Sorry - out of town for a couple of weeks but will repair this cache on my return.

Cache requires archiving.

Temporarily disabled pending repair or replacement. Thanks.

Checked on this cache again. It is no longer there.

looks like this cache has been muggeled and obtucted

Well I found an excellent rock that you could hide a small cache under and some sticks that would be great to cover up the said cache with, but no cache. So maybe it is gone.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Looked for this one twice, the second time was after talking to RebornCyclist (last finder). Signs of recent muggles in the area (beer bottles, food wrappers). Lovely area, and a great hiding spot (assuming I was in the right spot Must go back with the geokids and a rubbish bag...

The only rock there and the cache was no where to be found.

Found a rock with sticks that looked perfect for hiding a cache. But there was no cache.

Collected on the way past to another cache.
Cache was completely uncovered, so I've done my best to hide it...

Found at night about 10pm great fun.. Thanks..!!

nice find with my geo mum TFTC TNLNSL

First Cache! Great fun had in wonderful company!

Nice spot, easy find, lots of avian life to amuse. TFTC.

During lunch time. TFTC

That was one of the quickest finds for me. The cooler weather makes caching much more enjoyable.

Gloriosa and Wahlenbergia returned the pages of the dried out log today. We were disappointed to find the new log book we placed in the container at the end of December had disappeared! What is happening with this cache? No one has logged a visit. Nothing else appeared to be missing. Was it selectively muggled?

Wahlenbergia and Gloriosa checked on this cache yesterday and found it in a sorry state after all the rain. We came back today with a small sistema container and a new log book. We have taken the six pages of the log home to try and dry them out. We had to discard a sheet of stickers and the cache instructions as they were sodden. There was no travel bug in the cache when we first found it on 5 December but it is now a suitable place to leave swaps.

Cache 3 of 3 for the evening. Watch out for the broken glass. Easy find. TFTC

A nice spot to hunt a cache but a baggy will not survive long. TFTC

Nice spot but the cache needs a proper container.

Needs new box! Just a baggy now and will not survive long.

Found just on dusk, with family and out for a stroll around the lake. The kids were pretty excited by the whole buried treasure thing. Cache in okay condition despite being in a plastic bag. Collected a travel bug and will move it along.

Found with Wahlenbergia. Still just a plastic bag but we hid it well. TFTC

Found with Gloriosa. The birds may have scratched it out of its hiding place but we did improve its concealment. TFTC

Gosh! just plastic bag - no container??? Left Dubi Dam Dam TB, SL. Thanks Mewt for organising the cache and hunt.

Puddle senior, puddle teen and puddle kid out on this one:

From the Puddle Teen field notes.
"Found by puddle kid. But not really because she read puddle teens mind"

Really quick find, had a family of chuffs watching us the entire time, but no muggles to be seen. TFTC

found this one pretty quickly, enjoyed the view of the lake on a sunny afternoon.
TFTC

Took Catwoman TB, left badge. Cache has gotten wet at some point and the geocaching info note needs to be replaced. TFTC

Found by Warnie and girl. Took V8 TB. SL. Thanks. Nice easy hide.

TFTC FraserQuokka

Tb drop

A quick find using the hint. Left alien geocoin. Tfth

Found this one on the way home from child care with the geoboy. Someone has added a log and all was well with the cache.

Took small cards, left 2 blue marbles. TFTC!

Found just as the "rain" was starting.

Nice easy find.
Dropped off "No Sleep"

A quick drive by before the evening time showers. This cache could use a better container. Left a new temporary log book. TFTC ;-)>

Found. Replaced with new ziplock bag and added red pen to the cache. Needs a proper log book instead of a piece of paper for geocachers to sign. Cheers

Found.

Found this one on the way home from Floriade. took mrable, left flower bag tag.

Should be finding this cache tomorrow morning. Will take ziplock bag to place logbook in.

Found it but hadn't read previous logs so didn't know to take another ziplock bag in. Log sheet is getting very damp now - perhaps this could be put in a small container rather than just a bag? Anyway, nice park that was busier than we expected and a short walk from the carpark. TFTC

A nice find late on one of the first days of daylight savings. Tftc. Whoever is there next, if you have a spare waterproof ziplock bag, the current one needs replacing.

Found it! Nice little find for the long weekend. TNLN

TFTC!

one of three this morning. TFTC TNLN

Found today. No log book, no container just a zip lock bag. Needs maintenance. TFTC

Found this one on the way home from work at 11pm. Not a bad little hide though found easily. Needs maintenance, new bag required and log book. T: White and Black bracelet L: Little Sheep.

A quick and easy find with T20, Injuryman and Jezza.

This one has no actual container and no log, so I think it has a limited life unless maintenance occurs soon.

TNLN. DNSL.

Well all I did was find this simple but easy cache straight away.

Unfotunatly there was no pen or log book to sigh off that you found it!

Thank's Injuryman.

Tnln. Little disappointing. No logbook.

Looks to have been muggled. Log missing.

When we found this on it was open with the contentslying around on the ground - a muggle attack. The log book was missing. Packed it up and hid back in its spot.

Nice and straight forward as you have said.
I sometime fly RC floatplanes down by the water here. great fun.

Found after a nice walk not far from my house.
Took nothing, but left a wee tiki.
Thanks Mewt!

Found by Mary & David at 1610. We thought the cache name could be used for a spaghetti western. Don't know this lake as well as the bigger one, but enjoyed the water where we parked, and all the various wattle varieties. Collected 'Ausie Hopper' TB, dropped off 'Koala The Agent' TB. Our thanks to Mewt.

Another cache near a playground to satisfy the geo-kids. This had to be a quick find - with a failing battery! Thankfully we were successful. Left behind a travel bug and the kids swapped a few things.

Attempted a night time caching run tonight however with the dog in tow going nuts and me receiving 3 phone calls (one just as I approached GZ, one at GZ one just as I was leaving) this made the night-time stealth attempt futile. I was also somewhat spooked when there was someone else creeping around the bush not far off without dogs or torches so I hightailed it out of there and curtailed my activities for the rest of the evening. Did find the cache of course, not entirely sure if I signed the log book on a blank page as other person was creeping me out a bit and it was a quickie date-name-go thing.

We had fun finding it TFTC.

Number 4 on a busy Saturday.
Nice walk in the winter sun.
Took pink dinosaur and left the soft toy fox.
TFTC
Mark and Jennykate

A nice find with Budgie as we were in the area thought we might grab a couple while on this side of town ..... nice memories here of swimming after school.

Third on our night GeoJaunt. Beat Thelostmatt to it again! he he he. Really enjoyed the walk around the lake! Made me think I should walk more often at night!
T: Hello Kitty watch
L: something (ok memory totally shot now.... it's in the log)

TFTC

Found with BannaC and whispering_shifter. SL, took a bit of chalk, left an american coin. TFTC! There is a great playground near the carpark so it's a nice visit if you have kids.

A quick find with the geohound and newbie brother (stumpieonfire).

'twas a quick find in a likely spot. I took the Sporty the Moose TB, which will travel back to Melbourne with me. Thanks Mewt, I enjoyed the stroll.

Rain - soccer training cancelled. We had better go caching. The obsession-o-meter has been dropping. What could be causing that?

T: a broken pencil
L: a sharp pencil, a marble.

Must admit... Red Tag is right! TFTC

Very pretty walk around the lake.....but I am the driver so we drove around it instead
Lots of interesting things to look at.
Shall attach some pictures when I get back to Tassie tomorrow
Thanks Mewt

With an hour to spare before a play date with the geohounds at Belconnen off-lead park I decided to to some caching and get the western side of the lake covered in smilies.

TFTC, left Sporty the Moose TB. I figure there is enough sport on and around the lake to meet this TB's goals.

Found with lordjimbob and O319

Nice hide, went past a bunch of guys pretending to be Vikings on the way to the cache, thought they were wierd. The when walking back realised that they must think i was wierd ducking off into the scrub for a few minutes with a large mobile phone and small bag of stuff to swap.....

Saw the Swap Dragster TB, cool!!

found with O319 and Cookiemonster5 while on the way to my aunty's house. same story as O319 with the viking dudes and watched them quickly.

took the Swamp Dragster TB.

15:16

On a caching mission to drop some Tb's and geocoins that we picked up on our holiday. Found the cache easily

Left:Mike's Swap Dragster - sorry it has taken so long to drop - life has gotten in the way of geocaching at the moment.

TFTC

A quick find just out of the way in a busy park.
JABs.

Found cache with some friends, this was the second cache I found on the same day

TFTC

T- toy car

L-bouncy ball

Nice off the track find. Funny that this area used to be a carpark....7 yr old geokid found all by herself.

Find 3 of 11 for today, on my race to 300 finds.
TNLNSL TFTC!

I was apprehensive about this cache based on its name, but the map looked promising, so I thought I'd give it a go. The walk was just manageable on my sprained ankle and the cache was easy to find. This was the first time I had been to this lake (dam?) and was surprised by the lakeside in suburbia.

A great area for a picnic and relaxing by the lake.Plenty of bike riders about today too.Thanks to Mewt for the nice cache and peaceful location.

Last time I was here, the cache had been muggled. Good to see it back.

10:17pm
A quick easy find in the dark!

Cheers

Zeroed in on GZ quickly, but the compass was playing up. What the? Realised that the GPSr was still in road mode. Oh. A few seconds later we had the correct GZ and then found the cache. Spent many BBQs in this park when I lived in Belco.

Very discrete, considering the proximity to well-travelled paths. TFTC

A bit more difficult at night... but still got it!

Found with Eynowd during a wonderful evening stroll. What a wonderful area to wander around.

TFTC!

#556 in the early evening

A nice easy find.

TNLNSL TFTC!

Easy find this one thanks Mewts

My first cache! Managed to find it using Google Maps and without the aid of a GPS. Thanks to RacerBoy for introducing me.
TFTC.

2nd find for the day and with the company of kralcm, who is an absolute natural at caching!

As we approached GZ, noticed two fellas walking away from GZ one carrying a GPS, alas they were gone and we just missed them, I assume they took the TB.

TNLN, Thanks for the cache and happy to have some new cachers with me

Cheers!

After arriving shortly after version one of this cache was muggled (I was able to retrieve some of the swag scattered in the area) I have been watching this one for a while, waiting for a chance to stop and pick it up. Finally that chance arrived by accident and so a quick stop, walk out and retrieve. Took shark TB to move on over next weekend interstate. TFTC

Was a flock of Choughs (try saying that three times fast) at the cache location but took to the trees on my approach. While filling out the logbook a couple of Choughs came down for a closer look and soon I was surrounded.

My only find after a morning of caching, there were muggles in range of every other cache I went after today. Was nice to at least get one find before retreating to my folks place to enjoy their air-con on this charming 40 degree day!
