Visited today and looked around for 15 minutes and couldnt find. read the previous logs and realised that it hadnt been found since April 2013, so guessing its no longer around???
There really isn't many places to hide in this small structure and it seems that it isn't there and should be checked.
After overdoing it on the second day on the bikes, we travelled by Ute around part of the airport with Bettyboo3747.
We completed two finds in these signs yesterday, and were looking for a third. The only difference with this one is that we couldn't find anything here
We suspect the suburban jungle has taken it over.
Thanks, Robmc.

OK, we may as well add our names to the DNF list. We both stepped up to the challenge. Obviously missing I would say.
On what was turning into a dismal caching day for us we thought this would be a slam dunk. Well we searched and climbed and felt around but no cache. Think we left our caching eyes in Katherine! We're 3for3 dnf's for the day!
I used water in there, but was too hot
Thak you for nice hide.

Didn't appear on the map when I was searching for this one but I knew where to look and found it straight away. Nice one.
Nice quick find this morning although the cache was full of water. I removed a soggy mash of paper which possibly could have been the old log..... it was totally indecipherable.

Found at 4.20, cache water logged. Took back to car to dry out. Paper soggy and unreadable, put in new paper (in a clip seal bag).
T: Flag pin, L: Frog.
Took a while to return cache as there were mugglers around. One particular couple hung around for a while, started to get a bit worried that they were looking for the cache. Very sorry if this is the case, but we wanted to return the cache when we thought it was safe.

Took a seahorse, left a golf tee. No room left on log to sign it - needs a new log.

Thanks!! Found this arvo while doing a bike ride around the suburbs. Logbook is very wet and as such was unable to sign it. TNLN
Almost impossible to log with the log being damp but found a corner dry enough to write on, it still needs replacing though TFTC
Found this cache after two DNFs. Scary being swooped by two pluvers. Log soaking and not useable. Needs replacing. TFTC
We rode our bikes out to this spot, found by Mrs Beama who had to stand on her tippy toes. Thanks Kerr NT
Found while sight seeing in this lovely city. Thanks KerrNT,,,,,,,,,Silky Seekers Brisbane
2.30 Attending the National Square Dancing convention in the area, and having finished dancing, the awesome foursome hit the cache road. Parking for this one was the trick. The troops split, with 2 staying with the car the other two crossed the road for a quick find,sign and retreat.

Like Bundy before me, I parked at the bikepath nefore hurrying to the cache and back. Shame there's no nearby parking, would have been good to read the sign too, but the description will do anyway. Thanks Kerr NT
Find number 21 for the day, and find number 246 on the twentyfirst day of our month long trip to Warwick, Lightning Ridge, Boulia, Plenty Highway, Alice Springs, Ayres Rock, Darwin, and home. Found at 1600hrs Qld time.
Our target for today was 21 finds, to bring us up to 1920 caches, before getting ready for the markets and a visit to the casino. But again, no easy parking, especially at this time of the day. So, I just used my Qlder ignorance, and parked off road near a cycle path.
Easy find, similar to at least one other in town.
Cheers

Have been meaning to do this one for a while now and finally got around to it on the weekend. TFTC
Located while going for a ride on Boxing day when the watching the cricket became too much too bear. TNLN TFTC
Found this one easily, just had to make a grab during a break in the afternoon traffic. TFTC
Many muggles driving by ..... Soon had cache in hand but needed my wits about me to vacate the scene! TFTC
7.05pm (with Anderka)
Daily tally #30/32
Great hide in such an exposed place. The sun had just set so the darkness aided as a little more, and with most of these- timing is everything!

19:05 (found with ywurry): 30 of 32. As darkness fell we decided to do this one on our way home. It was a nice easy find and interesting reading the signs. Good hide. T: Pins, L: Dice and Bell. TFTC!
4th in the Darwin series. Very amusing cache and informative hide. Lots of goodies but I left them all intact.

Found as team SaintsMadHouse, and now that I am an adult, I have my own account and will log with this.Nice easy find, I knew what to look for as I have found a similar one. Was out with DBANKSY and had to coordinate the step up and face fears with the lunchtime traffic. TFTFSL. Took stamp, left car and bead bangle.

i found this one amusing, especially trying to do the "step up" without the traffic wandering what we were doing. almost got busted by a muggle just as we retrieved it, as he came up from behind quietly. TFTC, took car, left frog.

A quick find on a bust Saturday morning-took NSW geo coin which I will move on this weekend.
I have done this one before when i was seeing if i would like geocaching so it was an easy find for me but the kids had fun. TFTC
Thanks to the cache owner for a good hide.Did this one in accompany with Tracker DB. Many muggles about!!! Workmen and vehicles!! Took tankengine geocoin and left NSW geocoin. TFTCSL
Very surprising cache! I was busy reading the panels, when I started reading about frogs! Just then, I noticed a water bubbler nearby, and decided on a drink! What a surprise, there was a little frog in there! - It seemed to apreciate the water being turned on, as the bubble was dry... Oh, and found a cache too! Thanks Kerr NT!
Found it in the afternoon. Parking was a little bit of a problem, but I finally found a place for my car
Thanks for the cache.

Nice cache. Lots of traffic, even for a Saturday afternoon, but not too many muggles on foot about. TFTC!
Another one that I have driven past a hundred times. Finally stopped by and picked it up. Left a COIN.
Was not sure which was the greatest fear point here. The fact that climbing may have been involved, or the road in relation to where I parked to where the cache was.
Left some swaps.

Someone left a half full Paul's Ice Coffee nearby, this is not the goecache, the milk has been in the sun for days, i suggest you don't open it. I didn't remove it as I thought it was a funny distraction.
This cache was being very effectively guarded by 2 pluvers. I had to use the cover of the surrounding trees to get to GZ and watch my back while signing the log. They even maintained a overhead vigil as I retreated back to the car along the other side of the road. A sneaky hide that took me a few minutes to find. Had to find a small space on the log to sign as it is almost full. TNLNSL TFTC Kerr NT. [210]
#14 Had to park down the road and walk up, After a brief encounter with a couple of defensive curlews I sought the safety of the shelter and found the cache in a break in the nearby traffic. Left Croc.
YES YES! We finally found it after our first attempt last April, we searched and searched for ages and didn't find it. We planned to go back again before we went home but never found a time until today we thought we'd give it a go after reading previous logs that it went missing during the time we looked at it. In fact we dreaded on going there again today but finally Mr Bushies2 found it quickly. Phew!! Thanks Kerr NT for the second chance and the hunt.
On our way to the airport we made a stop here for the cache. We found it quickly without any problems together with Struppi & Strolch.

Rode my bike to work today and took two cache descriptions with me to have a go at on the way and didn't find either of them!
Spent about five minutes at GZ looking for this one, but given it was about 8:30 in the morning there were FAR too many muggles about and I felt uncomfortable. Had another quick look on the way back home (about 4pm) but same deal - WAY too many muggles in cars to feel comfortable searching around.

An interesting spot and worth a cache. The odd thing for me is that there is a good and expensive information board here, but no place to park!! What the?! Thanks Kerr NT
This one has beeped at us a couple of times as we have been passed. A nice easy find but replacing it was a bit of a challenge with a jogging muggle reading every word. TFTC
WanderingAus wandered by on day 25 of a "climatic refugee" trip, and made a very easy GAFF 1 find.
My find No 1501, TNLNSL.

I faced my fears for the second time this week and made the find! Thanks, Kerr NT!
I located GZ easlily enough but a parking spot was another thing. After finding a spot it was a short walk and then getting to the cache presented a challenge. Eventually grabbed it and took a TB tag that isn't logged in yet. Will log it once it's logged in.

I thought it was going to be somewhere else so was surprised to find I still had 70 metres to go.
Turned out to be a little ripper.
Loved the trial of getting my hands on this one.

Cool, Thanks, Another nice one to get my enthusiasm back after a break! added a travelbug with 'sezze' - she has details!!
Thanks for getting this cache back into action GIBBO. It no longer seems to have the same fear factor as the original container, but this one should last longer.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Looked high and low for this one, even passing motorists in the form of the GIBBOO team stopped to assist and confirmed our worst fears... It was gone, either muggled or run away.
Found with GGG on a 24 hour geocaching marathon that started at Darwin International Airport, criss-crossed the city before heading south. We were in the CBD between 1am and 4am, went to Marrara and Fannie Bay, around Charles Darwin University around Sunrise before going out to the Eastern Cliffs and conducting a mopping up operation in torrential rain in the afternoon. As time was limited we tended to avoid most multicaches. TVMFTC.
Found it - excellent one. SL. Thanks Kerr NT. for organising the cache and hunt.
