Found on a day of caching when attending FLIPPER&CO Quiz & Supper event.... Thanks o'cholio for the cache...
Found with the owner while removing. Shame it had to be removed, but it's probably for the best given the recent events at Holsworthy.
This one's being archived because somebody will inevitably get themselves, and us, into serious trouble. It'll probably be removed this coming weekend.
Sorry Z - you'll have to find another way to get subjects into the cloning tanks!

Oooh, seems this cache has some history... After returning from Adelaide after a few days I go to log this cache and find it has been archived [?] When I read through the onwer logs, it appears that someone else was also at GZ today. I grabbed this one just after 6am and there was little to no traffic which gave me the place to myself. Didn't take very long to have the container in hand. Strange how I feel compelled to prove my inocence in this log but, I was not approached by any security personnel?? Bit unnerving when as cache is archived and your probably the last to log.
Well, it's happened again. Apparently some finders don't believe discretion is important for this cache, despite the warnings. Whoever got caught by the local security staff recently, you're lucky you weren't hauled in for questioning, especially given recent events in the media. This cache is being taken offline while we decide whether to rehide it or archive it.
Found by Mrs 4evermore on Sunday morning of caching. Parking alittle tricking with prying eyes. Quick find though. TFTC TNLN
A quick drive by for an easy find, geokids had no trouble in locating this one.

Back online to witness the end of Mad May '09. Future finders should be aware that if caught by the robotic guards, they risk being used for the testing of new Z puzzles
The area around the cache was cleaned up today. No sign of the cache container, I don't know if you removed it already.
After getting the log from April 29 about the cache supposedly being somewhere it shouldn't be, we've decided to disable temporarily to prevent people from searching for a while. We're certain it isn't on DSTO property - it's a public road, and a public footpath, well away from any facilities or gates. We also reiterate how important it is to exercise stealth at this location - its two-star difficulty rating is for this very reason in spite of the ease of the hide. Will check on it and reactivate in a month or so.
Found it quite easily. Became very obviious when we got near it. Unfortunately Security Guard with a bad hair day did not care for us using a GPS so close to DSTO and told us to get out quick. Also suggested it be moved claiming that is on DSTO ground.
Accompanied with Everlasting and Sevabo. Found it nice and easy. No muggles to be seen. Phew!
Thanks o'cholio for the cache.

Well, I don't know about scientists, but there were a lot of very fit blokes jogging around here! Coming from all angles! We managed to drag our eyes off them and find the cache without being seen. TNLN TFTC
A casual stroll this morning in my DSTO-designed stealth suit netted me this cache. They do some awesome work with lasers in there. TFTC!
Out and about with Skippy on a Tuesday night caching
1st find for the night.
We weren't attacked by any mad scientists

The k-band antenna was not pointing at GZ. Time to strike. Even the boom gate seemed asleep.
Clear skies from TeamAstro.
Find 499 without a GPS at 2.00pm
Easy find close to The Department Of Applied Miracles.
TNLNSL FOFV Thanks to o'cholio for the cache.

Snuck in under the cover of the looming sunset, not a bad way to finish off after a big session at the gym. Thanks O'cholio!
Wasn't going to get as my TomTom isn't up do date and so this one wasn't beeping at me however another cacher had pulled over so I thought might as well.
Found@~1900ish, took advantage of a quiet moment, gates shut & guards elsewhere! A quick look and we had Z...cache SL TFTC o'cholio Cheers 'scargoes (P)
Easy find this morning.
I was surprised to see muggles out jogging past here in the heat as well. Or were they guards in clever camo?
Cheers, TFTC.

Add a few points to the difficulty, I've arranged for the robot guards to stun on sight. Oh, goody, goody, more subjects for the cloning tanks and for testing alien technology on...
An this week there are 2 new caches on my 8km running loop!

No prize for fourth I guess but a nice quick lunchtime walk. I must be going crazy looking for caches in 40+ degree heat.

P.S. 14 birds loud and strong. First time I've seen it on the Oregon. Must have been a great constellation and the clear blue skies and thin air probably helped with the low elevation birds.

*cough* WD actually works next door, but does have a piece of plastic that allows him to enter the lair *cough*
Made a lunchtime walk to the cache, baking in the 41 degree heat, and amazed at those who were actually out running today. I'd rather be logging than jogging...
Thanks O'Cholio!

Bronze for JO08. A nice and easy driveby. Made sure to avoid the pods, otherwise the mosquito bites from yesterday would seem insignificant. TFTC O'Cholio. And congrats to Adrian Mc on First To Find.
Notification in Wallaroo. Tea in Kadina. Heading down the Port Wakefield Road. Cache nearby. Silver to the frog nation.
Don't forget *cough* *WD* *cough*

"What we CAN surmise is that if these brains were ever to be released into the world of geocaching, we could count on some truly devious and evil puzzles that only somebody of equal or greater cunning could ever hope to solve!"
What do you mean "EVER to be released into the world of geocaching"?

FTF for Adrian Mc.
Picture me sitting at the computer logging my previous finds (actualy made with o'cholio) for the day when up comes a new cache within 10km. But i'm stuck at home with the baby while the missus is out clothes shopping. No worries, a quick phone call that goes something like this:
'Where are you now?
In the change room trying on a new bra.
How about coming home now so we can go out for a FTF cache?
But these bra's are only on special today.
But the FTF won't last.
Will you pay for some new bra's and buy me tea if I come home?
Yes, yes just come home quickly.'
And so a FTF that will cost me a bit but all worth it in the end.
BTW the missus works here and could have just picked this one up on Monday but where's the fun in that??
