Once again, old cache sheet from March, and found the offenders but no cache, so spent another 15 minutes checking out other possibilities (1230). Moved on to more of MADSTAR' caches.Was in the vicinity and just checked it out.YEP those little buggers are still there and from experience they hurt!!!!!!
I put my finger right on a wasp as I tried to retrieve the sucker. READ - I actually touched a wasp - causing them to all fly out (read opportunity
). I could not see the nest initially as it was quite dark and the next was suspended from the underside of the support..... Obvious hide and glad to see this one is in bed until the wasps are gone. Left the Astro stamp. [^]Clear skies from TeamAstro.
Nice tricky hide ...Mrs KC sat and smiled at Big Brother and pretended to take photos of anything and everything as usual, but then disturbed a very sick (thankfully) wasp on returning it.
Just when you thought it was safe. All you need to do is look up and there they are, big brother watching. Well Mrs Tamykian is to have the credit for this one. Be careful around the wasps nest...
Madstars the paper in the nano is rather full, so I think to relace the log..

Very clever hide.
Heaps of these nano's in Sydney, so I had a pretty good idea of what and where to look.
Coords had me going off to the corner of the GPO adjacent to a white door.

Found this one after a bit of thought not too hard to find but putting it back took us about 3/4 hour muggle central for a while
Knocked this one off whilst wating for the Geo-wife to break our bank ballance in the nearby commercial sector. Quick find. TFTC. Took the DVD case, left a tennis ball.
tricky sucker this one , a casual pass by while sucking on the ice cream. lucky for the clue , other wise it waas going to take another ice cream

Found with the entire Blondybear Clan. It looks perfectly natural for a family to be loitering around in front of a Post Office....no one even blinked an eyelid. TFTC SL.
Third find of this size in a row, arrived at GZ and knew what we were looking for, Mrs Shifter searched one location, and Mr Shifter searched another, he found the cache. We noticed the cameras just above the cache location.
Thanks for all the caches in the area Madstars.

Found it easily in my hollyday at Port Stephens. A very nice stay that I will recomend. TFTC from Norway
Nice and easy. A man sat on a bench so we pretended to take photos while replacing the cache.
With a bit of help from Colby 1 and Neenynoonoo. Nice find while we waited for our fish and chips.
Find after work whilst I was waiting for my partner who was in the post office. Nice and easy.....and SMALL!!! Definitely took nothing and left nothing...but I did sign the log.

Found at 2.20pm GAFF1. Ha! What a fluke. With an EPE of 16m and the GPS directing us to search inthe middle of the road, we found the cache in the first place we looked. This was after a lunch at hte Red Bellie where we watched rivers of water cascading down the road from our window table. Thanks MADSTARS.
Little old lady kept looking at me strangly but using the clues as GPS was abit out, soon had it in hand. TNLN.
I saw how busy the centre of town was the other day so returned today for a quick find at 0555hrs.

Found whilst visiting for work purposes from Townsville, absolutely blown away by the beauty of the area, thanks you for your efforts setting this cache up. TNLN, TFTC.
Nice easy one. I taught you well on how to place a nano MADSTARS. TFTC. My last on this day trip to the bay.
no luck, but then this is one of those rare occasions I didn't use the hint and I obviously should have 
Still enjoyed the search and now that I know where to look I will grab it next time I am up here

It was as described, but my reading indicated it should have been in the second of the two possibilities. TFTC!
Woo Hoo, up in Nelson Bay to celebrate fathers day and I get to grab an *FTF* in the process.
There weren't many people around in the blustery wet conditions to hinder the hunt so I had this in no time flat.
Thanks for the cache.
