As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Will replace log shortly

Finally - success!!! Between muggles and a series of DNF's - mr horsey finally made the discovery today. SL TFTC

Good little cache, took bit of time to find, but persistance paid off. TFTC
cheers team wooness

Thanx to Team WebGuy for the help line here. Black as a dogs guts when I was here. Now the official rant. Bloody nanos. Spawn of Satan. Burn down the nano factories and exterminate anyone who sells nanos. Oh, clear skies too!

PS: see the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xeh4-RNZEs

Another DNF for this one on our third attempt. GPS had us on a low fence this time. Having looked in every single dark and low place in the near vicinity, we must admit defeat. I would put the difficulty rating much higher for this one, considering a number of very experienced cachers with thousands of finds between them have had problems finding it.

Really hard to find. Ty to the burners family and chiparoos for the help. Tyfc. Go team stevens

Not so easy find, clue has no relevance on this hide.

Another easy find.

Unfortunately this little nano evaded us in the early morning darkness. We were probably prime suspects though for a police enquiry had we been caught with torches looking all over the container just after 4am in the morning .

#4688 No luck here today, but that may have been due to the early time of day we were here.

Attempted during a 17 hour caching spree with The Rats and steeba that yielded 124 finds.

Unfortunately we couldn't turn this one up this morning but most likely due to the time of our search.

Found at 2.15pm GAFF3. Second time here and spent about 10 minutes searching again and then received a call from Big Matt & Shell to say that they were on their way to meet me for a caching afternoon - fantastic - they would be able to put me out of my misery!
When they arrived they stated that it was at the other end - so we spent a while looking and then just started chatting as cachers do with me just casually checking here and there and then in the middle of a story about how we would like to improve our own "old" caches I suddenly felt a nodule that moved! And it wasn't that snail that I had previously squashed in my fingers thinking that it was the cache!
Now that was unexpected - because I had previously ignored such relatively exposed locations based on the clue. If a clue is to be given, surely it should be accurate. Otherwise the clue becomes a hindrance.
A frustrating cache that I will always remember, because when we were here a few weeks ago we received a call from our daughter in Melbourne that she was about to deliver her baby!! So thanks Tamykian - it will always be remembered.

Gotcha you little bugger!! My second attempt, was about to give up too. On my way home from work thought I'd pop by and give it another go. It paid off. TFTC
Well done Mrs. Geo.

First nano find was pleased with that one! What a great spot.

DNF at 1.15pm. We looked at what we thought were all of the hiding spots, even the "hope there aren't any nasty bugs in here" type spots and came up with nothing.
This was a tough hide for us.
Hope to come back another day Tamykian.

#381
I wandered towards GZ and immediately suspected where the hide was. I put my hand on top and removed the cover only to be disappointed. Hmmm.... time to search other areas. There's so many nooks and crannies a nano could be hidden. Plenty of spider webs about so used a stick to serach for the cache. After about 10 minutes I had the container in my hand, Luckily, there was no one else around to observe my searching. I quickly signed the log and returned the cache. Nanos are not my favourite cache type but a find is a find. Thanks for the effort of putting it here.

3rd visit for this one, 1st was a non find, 2nd was the find before the coordinate update (thanks to Ruffasgutts for theirs) and today to sign the new log that has plenty of space.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 32° 44.730 E 151° 37.022
Distance From Old: 73.7 feet or 22.5 meters.
Rechecked please use S32 44.742 E151 37.020

A quick find after using Ruffasgutts coords. The cache is guarded well by a lot of eight legged friends! Replaced log. TFTC

Looked around for a while for this one and was just about to give up, But as i went to walk away i couldn't believe it,there it was.we found it .Went to sign the log but there was no room left, so it will need to be replaced. Thanks for this one Tamykian.

Log will need replacing as there is space for only 1 more signing.

Found with the help of previous logs. I often have problems with nano's.
I've added my GPS reading of GZ.
Log will need replacing as there is space for only 1 more signing.

I tried this one quite a while ago and always planned to go back for another try.
It seemed my GPS had me a long way aways using the given co-ordinates.
I tried again with rufasguts' co-ords and got it straight away.
It took longer to put the log back than find it. As is always the way with nano's.

only room for one more log here.
TFTC

I hate Nanos, but the previous log entries helped out heaps. Found during Rudi63 and the Walenators assualt on a "Everything North of Sydney" caching weekend TFTH....SL...TNLN

Thankfully we had the logs, because the first GZ was a good 15 metres out. SL TNLN TFTH

Was not where it was ment to be. was definatly not down low or in a dark spot. This was our second time trying to get this one and all but given up when our Geomistress spotted it. Very Tricky. TFTC

We'd already DNFed this one and just about moved on before I spotted something way off from GZ.
Try these coords S32 44.742 E151 37.020

Easy find when the coords are right, TFTC

We were back in the car and about to DNF this one when RuffAsGuts in his usual never say die approach decided we would have another look and this time the prize was ours - even if it was 15m away from the supplied co-ords. There were muggles a plenty but luckily they were more interested in watching the "Kookaburra" than our antics. TFTC

Spent way to much time looking in the incorrect spot for this nano
Try RAGs4x4's co-ords and it is an easy find
TFTC SL

Another DNF for this cache. GZ was out in open but searched all dark spots.

Had alook in all the obvious dark spots with no luck
GZ put us in the middle of no where.
Will have another crack at it another time

Not very impressed by nano caches where according to those who found them 'the coordinates are a bit off'.

Great little cache. Very clever. Coordinates out a bit

Looked everywhere with no luck. Have to try again soon.

Easy find this tim in a spot that I looked last time.

Couldnt find this one...one of our first DNFs for the day...didnt help that there were Coucil muggles nearby!!!

Well well, sadly searched for ages at this one and no such luck. Hard also with the council workers who had just mowed.

Wow cant believe the birds, were pecking where gz was
and still didnt find it untill i showed them away and i found it.
very very small, very cool cache coordinates are a bit off, never the
lest obvious spots were searched
TFTC Tamykian

took awhile to find this one as we had to wait for a muggle to go for a jog around the park,

nice little hide

TFTC

Our First Nano!

Very cool canister.

Had to watch out for the metal detecting muggle!?

This one had us guessing for a few minutes the Geo-wife came up with the answer. Another cricket match was in full swing and we saw 3 wickets fall in the time we were at gz. Good spot to log discretely. Our second nano for the day. TFTC Tamykian. [128].

TFTC, Out for a day caching with Cachefinders2 from Sydney. This one didn't hold out long before there was a cry of found it from one of the geokids.

Cachefinders2 and AlienRiders Hunt

This was a fun cache with people at the skate park and BMX track wathching us
stealth was required.

We'd been out to try and find this one a couple of times but each time there were way to many muggles playing and watching the soccer - but this time we arrived on their presentation day and they were all occupied over near the clubhouse. Marco got incredibly lucky with this one - he poked his finger in a hole saying "It must be in a spot like this!" and BINGO he struck gold and the cache was in hand!!! TNLNSL TFTC

Found as part of the McWinRexOn team, a bit of off roading into the GZ and a hunt of the immediate area showed no joy, we weren't too fussed about putting fingers ito the hiding place area's due to the high liklyhood of something eight legged living there. An examination with mirror disc and flashlight soon revealled the container for retrieval, not as bad as it looked initially. Change of route on the way out in case we spent the rest of the day retrieving the vehicle.
TFTC

A good find by BigON here, searching more persistently where I had already looked. This was tough and coords seemed a way off where our GPS pointed. We had to do our best to avoid the attention of a muggle doing laps of the oval. Fortunately the walking seemed enough to occupy him. Thanks Tamykian.

Yes indeed - I well remember making a thorough search of somewhere totally different to where the cache was. Future seekers would be well advised to go with their intuition a bit here, rather than being too slavish about searching at the coords. Thanks Tamykian, other than that an interesting area to come exploring.

2214. I think the coords on this one must be on the outer limits as well. BigON and/or Mrs Winglen made the find in the obvious spot while RExTrex and I slavishly searched the area around GZ.

TFTC and the off road drive.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this one whilst out caching with The-Don.

We were out here last weekend but so was a grand final.

The-Don had this very quickly in hand.

Madstars has no idea. An easy find in an obvious spot.

Tamykian obviously got a bulk order of these nano containers.

Probably got a shipping container full or was that the cache.

Thanks Tamykian

Found this with the Cash Man.I was expecting this to take a while after reading previous logs but picked where this would be hidden from the car&walked straight to it. TFTC Tamykian

We had almost given up on this one, we searched hi and low, but as it turned out it was me who found it and as the driver I'm normally last but doh dropped it and even more searching to find it and eventually extracted it.
found with Tankengine, Tealby and Sol de lune on our caching invasion from Canberra

Part of our Newcastle/Port Stephens invasion from Canberra... Number 25 of 120 finds over the long weekend.
This one was a sneaky little sucker! Even with 8 eyes it took some time to find! However then, once found, it promptly disappeared again! It took another couple on minutes to find again! - Thanks.

We took a surprisingly long time to locate this cache after being distracted by something else nearby. My only excuse is that the satellites were not cooperating... well maybe they weren't so I'll use that excuse anyway. Mtrax located the cache then promptly lost it again (prior to its removal) & even with me helping it took a surprisingly long time to find it again! TFTC.

Found as part of the Canberra Invasion to Newcastle/Nelsons Bay/Port Stephens and surrounding areas with Tealby, Tankengine and Mtrax. This one was day one and with our over night accommodation at Raymond Terrace, we hit Maitland on the way through.

Took a few minutes to locate.....and then lost it again. Found it again, log was signed and cache replaced.

This was being elusive and then muggles were turning up so I left it till another time.

Was initially concerned with muggles, but after quite a while hunting for the cache, we found it in one of the few places it could be. Cheers Gav [4017]

Needed a tool to locate this one. Tricky.

SL, had to look hard for this one.... but found it
TFTC

You really have to watch the muggles on this one

Took a bit searching but found the right spot. TNLN

Found it No. 1413 ... TNLN

Duss came up with the goods on this one after a brief search. Dont think i'd have enough energy today to ride around the nearby track.

TFTC

Only took a few minutes to find this one. It was only just visible if you knew where to look. I think I just got lucky. I am usually terrible at finding these nanos.

Always love these little ones. Shame the box could not be used.
JABs.

2132.

Like the others my GPS zeroed a little bit away but there are only so many places a nano will attach.... Found it after a short search.

Thanks Tamykian for the cache and the hunt.

TNLNSL

Once again your hide has eluded us Tamykian - will need to redouble our efforts next time we come to this area to ensure we figure it out.

Having found another nano next morning i have a better concept of what I really am looking for..

Thanks for the challenge

searched high and low,but no luck.Clue was apt but did'nt find it where I thought it might be.A heap of fitness muggles about .Will watch if any one else finds it.

I can confirm that this nano is there (just checked), however I will check the co-ords

After afew DNF I was a bit worried. Needn't have been as caching at night with a head torch certainly makes those dark spots light.

This one evaded us aswell.

Spent a good 20 minutes trying to find this one, co-ordinates took us to the fence but after a quick look around decided to look in the more obvious spots (somewhere down low and dark. But no luck today. A few muggle kids loitering around so decided to call it quits.

FTF fattyacid and JimmyG1311

found this one on a Sunday morning

nice hide

there were muggles tending to the grounds
