Sadly, more damage to the cache found today. Container snapped into two pieces and found lying on the floor.

Maintenance on this container is becoming too common as enough care is not taken when finding.

So, as much as this pains me, it's time for this one to be put to bed.

Found quickly, signed and returned.

Great hide. Didn't send the geokids in for this one but sure had fun myself. TFTC

Really cool container. Our first cache in Australia.

Thanks for the cache Gunnie69

The cut and paste bit.
We are on a trip from South Africa to the East. First stop Singapore to visit family including a weekend trip to Batam Island, Indonesia. After that we fly to Brisbane, Australia, drive down to Sydney and then back to Singapore. A week with our children and grandchildren and then back home via a stop over in Dubai.

Thanks to all the COs that made our trip more enjoyable. Greetings from South Africa

So clever. Tftc

AWESOME:)

Perfect TFTC

Cool hide

Nice hide. Tftc

Found with jemilucy today nice to see something different tftc

Cool cache. Nice easy find on this fairly quiet morning.

Good to see something different. TFTC.

Found it but certainly wasn't a drive by for me. A muggle pulled up in his car directly outside GZ not long after I arrived and sat and sat and sat...I was originally in the garden when he pulled up - which must have looked weird. So I went back to my car and I sat and sat and sat. Then I drove back down the road and got some McDonalds! Then came back and sat some more (because he was still here). Eventually he got out of his car, put a suit jacket on and crossed the road. I thought, "Beauty, now is my time" but he didn't leave the footpath. By this time, I thought I had the cache figured out. So muggle eventually went away & I went in and made my swipe. Trickier was figuring how to open correctly. But I did and replaced as found. Also dropped a TB (Captain's Flat Trail #1) to earn some extra points in the Mary Hyde challenge.

This is awesome idea. Taken travel bug.tftf

Scouting out a few smilies southwest of home.

Most novel & interesting hide so far today!
Nice quick find.
Have a favourite point for the construction & placement.

Made our mark & replaced as found.

Sooo tricky!! Eventually found it

I've been farting all day!

Another modification implemented and cache back in place.

Last chance for this one. If people cannot take the 10 seconds to put it back as found and treat the cache with respect, it will be archived.

Please treat the cache as you would like others to treat yours.

Picked up to see what is going on. It feels like the inner container is stuck on first play, which is odd.

Not sure if I will return this one, or recycle the container to a placement that is a little less troublesome. I drop past GZ regularly and almost every time, I have to put the cache back in its correct position.

Standby for next comms... [^]

Found cache which was not where it should have been, no log in cache. Sent a photo of findings off to CO to confirm it was the cache before I logged it. Looked about the area to see if I could find a log anywhere but no such luck. TFTC

Back in place.

All shiny and new, with a modification to mitigate the risk of further damage through repeat of the previous replacement error.

It would be very much appreciated if finders could take the 1.2 seconds to ensure the cache is the correct way up before returning.

Replace as found, that would work too...

Container removed for a tidy up.

Managed to etch date and CA on the log. Great hide . Tftc

Nice cache but needs maintenance. Log is floating around in water and impossible to sign. Left a 200 rupiah coin instead.

It's frustrating that some find the concept of "replace exactly as found" a little difficult. I cannot get to GZ for at least a week or so, so any finders in the meantime will have to put up with the mess.

Log is floating around in water and impossible to sign

Fantastic cache - thank you! Looks like someone put it back upside down and everything got wet – the Log is soaked and needs replacing please

Found it a sneaky hide in plain view

This is my first film canister in Australia. We have a lot of them in England but I haven't come across any mint tins there.

This may need some maintance as it was lying on the ground I didnt know where to re-attach it

Needs some maintance was lying on the ground

Tftc easy find but clever

After completing a few of the Fig Tree Pocket caches, NyssaFlutterby and I made a slight detour (intentional or not) to the next exit along the freeway and I happened to ask if there were any caches here as we have come off at this point. She mentions this one, so I pulled on up and noticed a very interesting item indeed, that looks like it belongs but at the same time doesn't.

I recall the old days of the Amazon water park here, many a school breakup day was spent enjoying the slides and perhaps getting a little sunburn. It was a sad day for many when it was closed down.

Back to the cache tho, a nicely constructed hide, one of the best of these that I've seen. Thanks for the cache Ozibags (Gunnie69).

Out with RoddyC, KerriMG and Selva Girls although Selva Girls had found this before. Quick find here, but loved the cache container. Believe it was upside down, so have corrected this (hope we are correct in this assumption, although SG thought so too from memory).
Have a FP for engineering Gunnie69.

A caching day arranged with Selva Girls, Nikid1 and KerriMG. Unfortunately Mrs RoddyC had to work today so I represented our team. We cached in the Mount Ommaney area for a few, then across to Sinnamon Park. Altogether we visited eighteen geocaches, and RoddyC was able to log fourteen of those as finds for the five hours we were out. The others we had visited beforehand. I also dropped off five TBs to continue their journeys.

Been here many times in my working life to install POS systems into the DFO. Back now for a different purpose. Hmmm - that looks a bit unusual. Close to something we have seen many times before.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.45am on 23rd February 2017. TFTC, Gunnie69.

Out for the day with Nikid1, Mr RoddyC & Selva Girls.
This was our 5th cache of the day & we were very lazy & drove the 120m up the road from where we'd parked for the previous cache!
I had a pretty good idea of what we might be looking for here & it never hurts to have a previous finder in your group! We quickly discovered the very impressive cache, signed our names & replaced it.
TFTC Gunnie69, very well done!

Had come away and found on the ground. Put back where it looked like it went. TFTC

Best cache ever! Brilliant hide and it took our 4 y/o to find it
Thanks for going to the effort to make such a fun cache!

So good! TFTC!

God hide!!!!!! Took achild to find it...

Very clever hide thank you for bringing me here TFTC

OMG I just scared myself half to death!!!!
Wasn't expecting the geoko to come flying out at me, quick find after finding several similar before. TFTF

very cool.
I parked at the DFO, and went for a walk. A little lizard had made itself at home in the larger container, so I got a bit of a fright... cute

Found by Miss Warrior, definitely one of her favourite! Hiding in plain sight

Very cool cache
Found it

The cache was spotted as soon as I stepped back and looked for it. Cool hide which certainly deserves a favourite point.

Love caches like this! Favourite point from me

What a great hide! Staying nearby & spent the day shopping so had to find this one. Quickly spotted by 'J' & retrieved by 'D'. SL TNLN Replaced as found. Fave point cos we loved the effort gone in to this. Thanks for this cache.

Tftc

Lucky I had geohubby with me because my gps was 10m off and he spotted it straight away! Tftc! super clever!

11.40am. At the end of a walk along the river. Have seen similar hides before so this was a quick find. It was obviously not placed as it should be so I stuck it back in place. Fav Point.
Thank You. David and Noeline.

TFTC nice quick and easy one despite some GPS bounce. Off to DFO now

Good hide tftc

Dropped into Dfo pick up a transfer so that's been the second or two looking for this one awesome

WHAT AN AWESOME CACHE!!! Working in the area today, had to see if I could get a few smiles
I loved this cache, thank you so very much makes Geocaching extra fun..
SL TFTC

Very clever design and construction. A favorite point from patrol14. TFTC.

Go Get It... [^]

New log added and cache back in place.

***PLEASE REPLACE EXACTLY*** as you find it...

I don't understand how the log can get wet on this one. The design is such that moisture and water should never get in... [?]

Anyway, I have removed the container to fix it up and it will be back in place soon.

Such a clever hide

Log is super wet we couldn't write on it

Geodaughter found. Very clever camo. Tftc gunnie69

Easter Sunday geocaching out west. TFTC.

Decided it was about time i found this one. I have been here previously, but didn't have the headspace to stop and look.

I'm always surprised how this place continues to operate as there always appear to have less and less stores each time i visit - i guess it means a generally quieter location these days to grab a cache. I do think Amazons was much more appealing back in it's day though.

Having a bit of an idea what i was looking for, I was soon parked alongside. Spied what i needed from the car and soon had it retrieved and the log book signed. All good with this one, a really clever hide - Thanks!

First time the sharpie has been out in a while (not that you need it, it's just my cache pen). Cool camo. Tftc! Shining new log too

Awesome camouflage! Logs are in several pieces and a little crumbly. Wish we brought a fresh one to put in. Thank you for the fun cache!

Peak time for juggles but I decided to go look for this one sort looking because of muggle I sat down in the shade waiting for a quite pierod in the muggles as I went to stand up I put my hand on it and didn't even know it and it came off in my hand so stayed where I was signed the log and return it to the same place great hide and I found it on the busiest bay of the year it feels like

TFTC

TFTC. Over the ditch for a family deck party and needed to do a job in Jindalee. Oh no problem for me to go there I said, knowing this cache was close by. It was the 'stand back and look' technique that worked for me. A lovely cache indeed and my first this trip.
A favourite vote from me.
Thanks Gunnie69 for placing the cache.

Nicely done- tftc

Got this one pretty quick. Nice container

Very well hidden! Love the tube!! TfTC!!

Very cool. The ox

Quick find after what felt like 5 hours in DFO.

very nice hide indeed, looks perfectly legit!

TFTC all in good condition.

After a string of DNFs and false starts this afternoon, I needed a quick grab to keep my streak going. Clever cache holder! TFTC

Tftc. Easy find. Didn't have pen as we're out for a ride and I forgot to put one work the bike. Excellent spot.

Nice work on the GC. Love the creativity. TFTC

What a clever hide - a real gas, man TFTC

First find since getting back from Melbourne. Had me stumped and I had to stop looking after the owner of the car parked behind me sat in their car for 15 minutes. After resuming the search I was about to give up before getting a clue from one of the previous logs. A hunch turned out to be correct and I had the cache in hand. Genius. For that a favourite point. Signed and returned. TFTC.

TFTC. #1. My first offical find! Found with my family. A great cache to start with, this is so much fun.

great cache tftc

TFTC. #18. Found with the family. I loved this one! We found it quickly, but mostly due to luck.

Was out with KWT69 and Moo73

Good hide

Great cache, love your work Gunnie69, TFTC

A bit tricky - lots of ants

Got it. Took us a bit though!!

Clever hide. Thanks for the cache

Nice hide, tftc

Found this one. Love the cache

Clever one

Pleased to say that the cache is fine and exactly as designed... [^] A little out of place when I dropped by, but everything is as it's meant to be so I popped it back in place and left it for the next visitor.

Please replace exactly as found.

Found lying on the ground broken. Not sure where it is meant to be. Log dry and safe but outside container not secure.

Visiting a physio nearby for my wife. I took my 4 month old boy for a walk in a sling while she was treated.

Spotted immediately as it was hanging loose from the hide location. signed abd replaced with obvious assistance engaged

This was the first for a little cycling geoadventure with geogramps and the geonephews. Their eyes aren't quite yet geotrained but this was a good one to get us started on this drizzly afternoon! TFTC!

I was just searching for new caches in the area to take my boys to and saw this little one missing a smilie. Somehow I must have missed logging it last year. I had been out exploring with Dr_pepi, who had recently discovered this one and suggested the challenge for me. It seems it had taken her some time to find it and she was a bit taken aback I think when I picked it out straight away. A little tricky to remove the canister, but my signature is there. Sorry for the delay in logging.

Love a clever 'out in the open' hide. Also love a 'car cache' on a super hot day. Thanks

Had to bring geogranddaughter to Centenary High for rehearsals. As we were a little early, we decided to find a cache first. At GZ, geogranddaughter and muggleson were a little confused about what and where to search. I decided to look where I thought I would hide a cache. Sure enough, there it was. Log signed and cache safely returned to its hiding spot.

Very clever little cache. Found while over from Adelaide. Left a twinkle.TFTC
