Tried to find a nice place to place a M&M container but nothing good enough.
The last cache was a magnetic key holder. They are hard to get at the right price.
Will archive and find another place worth while.

Turned up early this morning to do some maintenance and muggles were everywhere.
Went back after Lunch and found I was wasting my time... Way too many Muggles...
What can I say... The SUN is out...
Will try again during the week.
MADSTARS Maintenance Crew
The Park is muggle central.... I will have to wait a few weeks for the muggle activity to die down before replacing.
Sounds like the cool expensive key holder has been knocked off and the log left to fend for itself...
Some Muggles are just too Low....
Will find a new container soon.

[We found this one without any problems. (16/23 for the day)] Note - I'm not sure if there was a cache at some point but there's now just a plastic seal lock bag]
Found it Christmas Day just fine
Left 2 dollars for the next finder, thanks for the awesome cache

Team Casho’s Boy weekend of caching up north.
With the girls at home the boys decided to go a caching.
Armed with a list of lower end caches. No disrespect to the caches or their owners there were many wonderful caches, locations and things to see in our travels. We just set up a search for those with a terrain level of around 2 – 2 ½ for this trip to build up our numbers heading towards our 1000th find in our first year. As this was the case many of our logs would just read easy find so to expand on that we are including a run down on bits of our trip in all logs.
Trip
Wollongong – Raymond Terrace – Nelsons Bay and home via the Central Coast area.
Visiting relo’s while in the area (I know a major waist of caching time).
Found not only our 900th find but also out 950th, on our way to the big 1000.
Things we seen
Views, fireworks, kids jumping their bikes off the end of a wharf, a kangaroo, a koala, crabs by the hundreds, lizards, a crock, a turtle, kookaburra, aliens, ducks, dogs, boats, tankers, a weather station, the Coast Guard, police, ambulance and the fire brigade and that was just for starters.
Removed a box of matches from a cache in a bush area. Not such a good idea I thought.
Got bitten by mozzies, invaded by school kids while trying to return a cache, did some 4 wheel driving, got busted by muggles, introduced my muggle family to caching, collected some travellers, found some new and interesting hide styles and carried out maintenance on several caches while on the go. On the way home had to take the long way due to a fatal car accident on Picton Rd. Stopped to help a driver who got a puncher as a result of the accident. Seen his car fall off the jack while we were passing by, legs under the car (all ok there thankfully). Kids got paid for our assistance as I would not accept the money. This detour proved longer then it should have due to the 3 new caches in Appin last week.
Our thanks to the girls for allowing us to cache without then (not that they had any other choice) and the many cache owners who placed the caches we attended.
We look forward to catching up with fellow cacher’s at the Geocaching Association of NSW Nurragingy Christmas Party GC1ZCCX December 12 2009, were all going well this will be our 1000th find.
Looks like the Oz Wagga Wagga Mega Event (April 2-5, 2010) GC1Y5R has just hit the MEGA requirements and we can’t wait to be part of it.
Merry Christmas
Happy and safe caching.

Another tricky one. Few muggles on the beach and playing on the equipment. Snuck in on the way to the toilet, logged and back.

We both had the day off so we decided to do our own little ‘invasion’ of Port Stephens. Our first full on all day effort. Nice quick find on a beautiful and deserted little park. Only one neighbor around watering the lawn luckily on the other side of the park and well hidden. TFTC. [Cache 94]
Pt. Stephens Invasion.2. Nice small park on the coast, good spot to head onto a few more caches. Thanks.

Urban art is pretty good when done right, and this was good, it must be a sign we where tired as no takers for the playground by the group so onwards we go, found by the Canberra invasion convoy: Tankengine,Zytheran,, betchatn0t, Sol de lune, Tealby, Red Tag and Albida
Team McWinTrexON just about lost the plot (or perhaps, the ON would be more correct) while doing three caches in this are. BigON had launched himself over the side of a cliff before the startled team could restrain him, so the rest of the wimps came via this direction to join him. Another nice wee picnic area on a bay - thanks MADSTARS.
A very quick find in this case, found with other members of the McWinTrexON team as we raced to do a few caches before the event. Thanks MADSTARS.
No doubt about us finding it with a previous finder in our group 
and luckily no muggles about to have to deal with
Thanks MADSTARS

Found as part of Team McWinTrexOn, easy find on the way past. No Problemos
I've just picked up a couple of those recently in Canberra. They don't look overly waterproof though.

No lions today, but lovely location! Thanks again Madstars!

One of the quicker cache finds - but it did make a good starting point for a walk on to another nearby cache. TFTC.
2137. Almost didn't have to break stride on the swoop past to grab this cache. Sat on the nearby bench to log this while we pondered the rest of the trip without BigON. Ah well, move on other caches to get.
TFTC and the watery park.

A nice little park - there were a number of mother muggles with muggle toddlers playing, but they weren't interested in what we were doing near the toilet block!?! A different cache container for a Madstars cache. TNLNSL TFTC
All is well with cache...
Checking cache before Invasion on the 19th September 2009.

Few muggles around while we tried to find this one. As it turned out I knew them and chatted to distract them while Bommy and kids found it. Sneaky Sneaky : )
Returned to the Bay for a weekend holiday and decided to do a few caches with the O'Spurplers on a nice warm winters day. You just have to love this area - cant wait to hopefully return in the future !! Nice easy find. Left Malaysian coin. TFTC
There was a muggle in the car here watching over the reserve, but Moneydork managed to come up with the goods. Cheers Gav [4125]
Had to wait for a muggle to leave before I could find this one.

I'm amazed Bob's Lion is still here, while Sol and i have to duck to find, many others wouldn't have to. A nice little park close to the beach.
Thanks MADSTARS for the cache.

Great graffiti on walls- whilst looking, GPS battery died!!! Didn't matter- it pays to be of shorter stature! TFTC (25th cache for bay caching tour 09)
Found 14:20. Nice quick find. Have not seen a container like this one before. TNLN. Thanks.
We pulled up to do this one but there were a few muggles about so we did Wander where i am, and A fish called.. then returned to do a muggle free cache. Our GPS pointed to the wrong metal thing but we soon found.
