I think the local maintenance guys might be onto this one. It is gone again.......and as I've replaced it a couple of times, I think it's time to say goodbye.
In 3.5 years it was found 178 times....not bad for a cache that was so obvious to everyone walking by. Never thought it would last that long.
Thanks to all who found it. As always, enjoyed reading most of the logs.
Thanks for the fun.......

Checked on this one while visiting the shops. It has been muggled, and the container is missing.
Off to watch a show locally and filled in a bit of time before the curtain went up.TFTC
Found with Winc Ink after finishing some work in the area was thankful for an easy one after a few DNF's, TFTC.
A nice walk in the morning sunshine after completing a nearby sneaky micro. The cold must have kept the muggles away as GZ was deserted.
Thanks Sol de lune.
Thanks Sol de lune.
While my wife was in the shops buying a few things I ducked over for a quick find.
This one is located on a similar object to what I have for my fifth hide. I noticed a small magnet close by which had dislodged from cache container.
There are a swag of bottle tops in the GZ which indicate a recent muggle drink-fest, but the cache is safe, high and dry.
I like this sort of cache in the urban environment and with high muggle activity.

pretty cool i have to say. clever, it doesn't even look out of place. signed and put back.

Forgot to add my maintenance log.....
Log sheet was missing, now replaced and the cache is good to go again.

Geokids found this one a while a go but didn't log it, so we went back to get the tag and some icecream. Thanks for the hide. (BTW the icecream was good too)
Really good to come across such a variety of caches and hides, like this one. Gets the creative juices going. SL..TFTC
A quick walk to GZ in the light rain with our son and found a fantastic one. Neat job on this one. Cheers
Cold weather keeping the muggles away. Good time to look for cache. Good fun find.

Very nice!!!!!!! Found it with Relish64 & geodaughter for her first caching experience. She said I should be a "Ninja" with the stealth we used to retrieve and return the cache. TFTC #28

With a night-caching recommendation on this one we felt it was the perfect time to hunt it down. Zita got us parked within 14 metres of the GZ and made a very quick find! Well done. Not a soul passed us by so we signed the log in peace. TFTC SDL!
i was there this arvo already, but too many muggles. so i returned in the evening and found it. nice hide. next time i will even bring a pen...
Quick find and grab, but getting it back was another story. Snatched it out from under the noses of two muggles sitting right next to it. Had to wait until they left before we could return to GZ. The wait wasn't too long..soon we had the cache back in place and on our way to Goodberry's...YUM

Found @ 2:15pm with hccatcher11415 looking on
Last time I searched for this one it was missing in action so I was pleased to make a quick find!
Thanks for the cache Sol de Lune!

Just replacing the log, should be back online tomorrow. Pleased to see it has lasted this long. (Which it probaly wont now that I've jinxed it.......)
The log is due for replacing, maybe room for one more name. Sorry wrong date placed on this log. Should read 10 November 2011.
Was in the area and had a bit of time to kill while waiting for an appointment close by. Checking the IPhone application it showed this cache only 66m away. With spare time and being so close I had to attempt to make the find. I knew it wouldnt be wasy due to muggle activity in the area but gave it a go anyway. I found the cache nice and quick as I approached but had to sit (close by) and wait for a couple of muggles to leave the area before being able to make the find, sign the log and replace. Stealth definitely needed for this one during daylight hours.

What a great hide Sol de lune, thanks. I picked this one up on the sly while having a well deserved break. TFTC
Having just been up to another Sol de lune cache, we couldnt resist this one and came to this location in search of tea. Great selection of take away! Had to wait till the Woolies guys finished their smoke break and we could make the grab and log it. We like these ones with the need for stealth now. TFTC
This was a quick grab after squash. From the description I know what I was looking for. TFTC.
nice, well concealed.
very high muggle zone, had to retreat quite a way to avoid their snooping gaze.

A quick grab'n'go while heading into the local shopping centre hoping to find a late lunch. Didn't even have to slow down as I made the grab! TNLNSL-TFTC.
a lot harder than first expected but i bit of looking we found it, very smart hide!
On a last minute grab before some family commitments we were able to snap this one!
Thanks

This was one of a few caches that Steeba and I managed to grab on days caching around Canberra.
This one had me cache blind for a while, lucky Steeba was on the ball.

Found on a days caching run with The Rats in the southern suburbs of Canberra.
The Rats had cache blindness here for a minute until we spotted the camo'd cache. Thanks!

Attacked this cache in the middle of the day with plenty of muggles around. Fortunately spotted cache really quickly and was able to time grabbing, signing and replacing the cache without drawing any attention. Enjoyed this one. Thanks Sol.
We never tire of this sort of cheeky hide. Hopefully this one will last a long time here! Thanks
An excellent hide and surprisingly easy retrieval and replacement, given the number of muggles. TFTC.
TFTC, nice hide in plain sight. found this one whilst waiting for geodaughter swim class to start near by

Found this one later in the evening but we are quite good at spotting this type of camo after doing a few of these.. We had to play cool while a few Muggles walked past. TFTC
Having found a similar cache in/near the Parliamentary triangle once, I spotted this one from a short distance away. Wasn't too busy making for an easy log and return. TFTC
Managed to grab this one in the middle of the day without drawing unwanted attention. Very nice hide, We've seen something simmilar before so once you know what your looking for certainly makes it easier. TFTC
It has either been moved or I'm bad at this game!!! No sign of it but I'll try again another day. Thanks anyway
Instantly spotted this one and managed to acquire it with no real trouble despite heavy muggle activity. Thanks for this one. I like these sorts of caches.
This was an easy find. Found it as soon as we got there. Put it back where it was but not sure if it is the right place.
Nice clever hide! Stealthily grabbed the cache: minimal muggle casualties. TFTC.
Quick and easy find. Cache needs paper...sorry we didnt have any on us. TFTC

Nice plant, actually a surprisingly easy grab, because I've seen this method before and nobody was paying me any attention. There is no log as such but a sticker to which my visit was added.tftc
A Nice quick find just before lunch,
Many thanks for the cache.

This was my first ever cache find. Excellent camo, took abput 20 mins to work it out. TFTC!
Very nice container, the_proton pounced in again and found it straight away!
FOr the time of night there were quite a few muggles but patience won out.

Yet another find while out caching with Jorgies. Well it surely is a sneaky hide. Thanks Sol de lune for a great cache.
can not beleive that I missed this one. It soo looked like it should be there. Found by CSFamily within seconds.
Note to self: Take observant parts of the family!
Quick find with the parts of the family who are observant after a long embarrasing visit earlier with no luck! TFTC!

look and looked today with csfamily. however i got caches mixed up and advised that it hadn't been found for a while, which was actually another cache we went looking for today. We look hard, but not as hard as we would of if i remembered it had be found recently. Must go have another look for this one again.
Found after a day spent indoors (on a perfect day for caching! doh). Several children's events spent in the Erindale area. So at least we got a little sun in the afternoon to make this find. I do like these types of caches. Thanks!
Lol! I had come looking for this some time back and missed it having spent some time searching back then. Very clever! this time, I realised something was not quite right and located the cache straight away! Full marks for ingenuity to it's maker!
Very quick grab, luckily had a fair idea of what to expect, but enjoy this aspect of geocaching with the cache there for all to see but still cleverly hidden. TFTC
Well, you had me fooled...until I realized something looked unusual.
That is an awesome container!!

It was a very easy find. I think I get the name now. Cool container. Afterwards, we got a yummy pie from the bakery like some others and watched over the cache while eating them. TFTC.[:o)]
