Having once worked at the nearby establishment I had to give this a try even though the logs said otherwise... Gave it a good shot but I am sorry to say I am with the others... It is gone.. I left nothing unsearched in my quest for glory...
Thanks Bezerker for bringing me back here...

Aiming for a drive-by on the way back into town but the three of us couldn't find anything.
Well, went to GZ, and nothing. It could be the fact that it was a night visit, but with such clear instructions, it seems likely that it isn't there!
Found on our annual visit to Canberra for Xmas.I am claiming this as a found even though only found the remnants of the cache-I am pretty sure it is gone-I did find a small round magnet that would normally accompany this type of cache container.
remove me if I am wrong.thanks

Found by SirJ-OZ in a spot I thought I'd checked (that's 2 micros to him - and the last time I take him caching with me! ) - log is chockers, so couldn't sign - TFTC.

Not many people about early on Public Holiday, spent a good 10 minutes giving the sign a good going over! Nope !
I thought that the public holiday might mean limited passers by however there was a guy just jogging up and down the road on the other side of the fence. I did take a brief wander out of the car whilst pretending to be on the phone (as you do) but couldn't spot anything obvious and by the time the guy on the other side of the fence was making his third pass I decided I had better wrap up the phone call and call it quits.
Found while on a business trip to Canberra. Log book could be with replacing as there was no room to sign it. A quick find as the muggle density was surprisingly low. I think the finish about 4\;30 at it was close to 5:00 when I found it. Drove off with the GPS on the roof of the car. Luckily I realised afer about 20 metres and one corner. Stopped the car and it was still on top. Talk about a bit of luck. TFTC
Found by 8 yo Geo-Son. I also work here and the clue is a cracker and right on the money! The log is full so did not add anything. TFTC [^]
My 300th cache!!!
Liked the clue. [^]
The log is very full, you may not be able to see my log.
Aiming for 500 before the end of this year.

I'm sure we looked dodgy getting this find!

Reperio at 1600. A quick drive by cache today, and while there were a couple of muggle cars go by, no one was keeping watch on me today.
Gratias.

On Watch today, so I may as well pick this one up! Log is completely full, no room left, so not signed TFTC!
Found with Eynowd and little Tigermonkey (she slept through the log signing).
DNF'd this one once before (after it had been muggled a fair time ago), was glad to find it exactly where we thought it would be.

Second attempt at this one, the last time being when it had been muggled.
I've been meaning to get this one for a while, but didn't want to do it with my wife. Today we managed it.
We had more trouble signing the log sheet. It's very full and needs to be replaced.
TNLNSL TFTC!

A nice quick find in the company of Everlasting and Alchemy2. It can be reached if you have a long arm when you parked next to the object. Thanks for the cache.
Have to add, log is very, very full, not much space to write but i found a tiny corner lucky i had a fine point pen. This log will need to be replaced soon.
after a bit of searching around read the clue again and it all made sense, i hate these nano's but nice location. TFTC
Cache run on the way from Auckland to the Megga Event in Wagga. Busy place but the camper helped to disguise our search T4TC.
Not keen on doing caches outside military facilities, and it didn't help that Pohutukawa found his 2000th cache, and proceeded to have a water fight in the surrounding area! Cheers Gav [5054]
Found with Bewilderbeest on a boys afternoon out, doing a few caches.
Thank you thank you!!!
Thank you thank you!!!
I decided Id head out for a few caches, and the lad decided to come with me so I changed my plans to go for caches with a more suitable terrain rating. This was the first one we hit. The GPS thought we should be here, but common sense suggested the cache was more likely to be there. So we went over there, and sure enough there was the cache.
Watch completed, and on the next one.
Thanks Bezerker.

I went by after work, but being Friday, there weren't many people leaving at 1630. Easy find. TFTC.
My first at night. Quick driveby, but I am all fingers and thumbs with small logs-took longer than finding it. tftc
Found pretty easily on a Saturday. I have been worried about this one for quite a while, but my preconception of what GZ was going to be like was waaaaay off. It was pretty easy to park right next to GZ and retrieve the cache and sign it in the car. Another car pulled into the circle opposite and was just sitting there. I was fiddling with my phone making notes and submitting a field note and I figured they would be cachers too. Then just as I was about to drive over there they took off. Who knows....

Found this one today .. finally .. been to Harman many times and I'd just never got around to getting this cache.
I think this is the smallest cache container I've ever seen, it took me a few seconds to work out that it was the cache that I was looking at.

Saw this one had 'reappeared', so CazBol and I swung by to check it out. No muggles and no problems - glad to see we were in the right location last time around. TNLNSL. Thanks Bezerker for the hunt, and the Clarke Gang for the re-appearance
Found with rubai on a multi-purpose outing.
Found this one pretty quickly in the middle of the day. There was hardly anyone about, just a few passing cars, so this was pretty easy. Got back to the car just as the rain started.
Thanks, Jezzza Xtreme.

#304: Found fairly quickly. We spotted the cache exactly where we thought it would as we walked up to it.
Nice quick found the nano. SL. Thanks Bezerker for organising the cache and hunt.
A nice easy find to bring up our 200th at a place I spent many a year at. TFTC and the memories of Dog Watches at the old gangway.
Ahhhhh HARMAN, home base for me for a number of years now. Will be leaving next year to return to sea where I belong.
In fact I will be seeing quite a bit more of the owner and foresee quite a bit of joint caching trips.
Nano it is and hard to retrieve log from it , it was. But got it in the end signed and was on way.

So again Enjoy and beware the Security Muggles and locals that can see you from their houses

Yeap, just like the previous posts, it's not there Had a good look around and noted some new hardware that may explain the possible disappearance (assuming we were in the right location)
We too looked very hard for this one, not deterred at all by the bloke who claimed to be a security guard from Harman wanting to know what we were up to and got bit put out that we didnt have any ID on us, (had nothing except for scrap of paper with few clues and cache descirptions and the good old hand held GPS, had left car down road). he looked quite sceptical when we explained what we were doing, "never heard of it" he says when we tell him we are geocaching! Any way told him how to spell it and told him to go home and look it up on website. Mr Polliwog kept him talking and distracted while I just kept on looking. But to no avail, might be worth cache owner checking if still there since thsi is 3rd DNF in a row.
With sevabo, we had a good look, look and [red]LOOK [/red]- still no nano on our hand.... so please check for us. Thanks.
Dvixen and I had a look for this one yesterday, but couldn't find anything that resembled a nano, and we checked everywhere.
The guy peering at us through the fence from his porch at one of the nearby houses didn't help either
I'll have to come and try it again.

Found at 19:15 - the second of my night's caching with shell_seeker, matt_stomper and leechie.
It was obvious where this one was hidden as soon as we approached GZ. It was also obvious that having four keen cachers huddled around GZ would not be a good idea, so shell_seeker positioned the caching-mobile just right, and we sent leechie out to fetch the cache.
A quick signing of the logsheet (well, as quick as is possible with one of this size), then leechie replaced the cache and we were out of there again - four cars had passed whilst we were there, and we think they were none-the-wiser.
Thanks Bezerker

Found on the 3rd September on a night caching trip with Leechie, Matt_stomper and SW2092. TFTC
Staying the night at the base. Some time spent waiting for the muggles driving by to clear a path, but the cache was quickly in hand. SL TFTH
Second find for the night with SW2092, Leechie and Shell_seeker.
We had to wait for a few cars to drive past before going for the grab. TFTC!!!

Bit of muggle traffic but picked this cache up with not too many issues.Nice quick cache in a very interesting location. TFTC!
Had some issues with the GPS as we drove up to this one. But as we drove past picked where GZ would be, and had it in hand as soon as we stopped the car. TFTC
Easy find but had to vacate as a lady? yelled at a dog to shut up in the house behind as I found it, took it back to the car to sign off and snuck it back to it's hiding place a few minutes later.
A nice easy find, TFTC, I have been posted to this base many times before. Quick in and out of my Royal Australian Navy TB.....TFTH SL
#130 - Nice easy find without even getting the GPS out once riding to the vicinity of GZ. TFTC.
As I am staying at that place where you used to work this week I couldn't resist the little drive by. A quick find at 1350hrs.

We were staying close by on the way to the snow fields so I nipped out for an hour or so prior to dinner to do some Caching. Tough ask in the dark without a torch so after 5 minutes of futile searching I bolted back to the Geomobile for a torch and came up trumps immediately.

Decided to take the back way behind Harman to get back to Queanbeyan and half way found managed to find a car bogged up to door seals in a large puddle after a quick rescue we were back on our way, what type of cache claim is on that type of find!!!! LOL

am I allowed to log a 'temporarily unavailable' cache' ??
cause I found it, squeezed my name in there and did the traditional little pat yourself on the back cache dance at the end of it
...well I will count it as one cause I am on a numbers run trip, thanks Bezerker

If it's still there, then it's still there and ought be available - I oversigned an earlier entry
I hadn't updated my GPSr so didn't realise this one was off line when mr_roo and I visited today.
We managed to squease our names onto the log sheet.

We managed to find a spot to squeeze our name onto the otherwise very full log, a quick find in the dark, in a place which is more familiar to several of our relatives than to us. Thanks for the cache Bezerker

I too was on watch while grabbing this one, due to the proximity of the surrounding muggle dwellings.
Fortunately, there was no sign of anybody pearing through windows.... [^]
I swooped and did what I needed to do. I filled in the last spot in the log and it now needs to be replaced.
Cheers

Didn't take too long to find cache - trickier than it needed to be. Felt a bit conspicuous here but a timely "cover call" seemed to do the trick.
