Yep definately gone we had two on the job we poored over the area for some 15 minutes to no avail,Thanks anyway

Had a good fossick but couldn't find it. That's 2 in Griffith that I missed. TFTH.

Searched with the suggested correct coords and came up empty.

The coordinates on this cache still need updating to S 34° 17.651 E 146° 04.211 .....

could not find - though the fact there were muggles settled for the afternoon at the footbridge fishing meant I could do no more than "have alook at the river and bridge" before I would have attracted undue attention, so I stopped before looking seriously.

A spooky night-time cache on my way from Griffith to Leeton. There was a whole community (Herd? Fleet? Colony? Camp?) of little vampires waiting to suck my blood, so I signed the log and moved on ASAP. TFTC!

Night caching... Deserves a quiet night... Etc etc
So much easier with no muggles about. Thanks to Code1 and others for improved coords.

After going back through the logs I found a set of co-ords that were spot on. The listed co-ords are a good 45m off.

Use these S 34° 17.651 E 146° 04.211 until the owner fixes them up and you will be right.

Cache was quite wet so logged my find on the back of the book

TFTC

Found a geocacher at this cache. They also inforned me that i could log a locationless (also need that site to log it... If you could email me please) So double find.

Also dropped Aussie track-a-bear

Glad I was using the colorado and not slowdad's gps 60 otherwise we wouldn't have had the old logs to look at to find out the coords were off. A quick find after I reloaded. Meet another cacher to round off the afternoon. TFTC

Drove into Griffith to collect a truck for my eldest son and to grab a cache. Tried to get this one at lunch time but couldn't get close for the muggles so had to come back in the afternoon. A quick find after psychodaughter fixed the coords. Managed to meet a couple of other cachers as well. TFTC

I found this cache I am only 5 my aunty kat logs my finds for me. I liked this cache because it was fun and I hope I can go caching on my birthday party. TFTC

This was harder than it needed to be due to the coordinates being so far out. Can the owner please change them to the ones listed in the logs. Once I noticed that log I put the co-ords in and found fairly quickly. Thanks for the cache.

I took your advice and did just that this morning
A can of fizzy cola was just the tonic to help me find this little cache (with a bit of murfishness to point me in the right direction)
It was a nice easy find, but I had to be quick in my retrieve and rehide as this is a very busy little bit of road at 10 in the morning !!
TFTC

This one took a few moments longer due to the cords being about 20meters out, not sure if that was the intension of the owner??????
Anyway we had a successful find and signed the log.
TFTC.around

Easy find with new coords

Could not find iPhone kept telling us we were 18m away

Even though the cache seems to still be there, the co-ordinates on this cache are still incorrect. Can we please have the coordinates updated to make it easier for future finders?

1198 Found by baby&Mrs gopher as number 14 for the weekend trip out west at 1030.After looking for about 30 minutes with logged co-ords decided to phone a friend.New co-ords given S34 17.651 E146 04.211 made gz 40 metres away again from middle of road.These new numbers took us to within 1 metre of hide.Maybe the information needs to be changed.SL visited coin.Tnx Sweet-cakes.

On a beautiful april afternoon we went searching, was successful after some scratching around

Found on second visit today after thorough search . Took a while. First visit muggles occupying cars hindered investigation.

Found this one on our second attempt, first time started out with only our memory from reading it on th website, we needed more information, gained it and returned to be succussful in our find. Made some swaps, thanks for the fun.

No luck this time but we will come back some other day.

Dropped Trecaz Trakkie TB here this morning as we were leaving Griffith. The place was buzzing with workmen, so hopefully they don't make a find.

Our third visit here today, with the third set of co-ords. This time we found it many metres from published co-ords. TNLN. Enough said.

After looking the first attempt finding GZ in the middle of the road we tried again after looking up the listng but again came up with nothing, it appears a large amount of water has been throu here.

Didn't have the alternative coords with us, so we wandered around for a while before moving on. One place remained unchecked because a muggle-ute decided to park too close. Hopefully we'll get it next time.

Found by Bob at 1840

My last cache for the day before having to make a bee-line for Wagga for the big Event. Luckily, I'd read the logs and knew that the co-ords were dodgy. Still, I wasted a few minutes poking around before I checked the previous logs and was able to use Emmnmls's correction to pinpoint GZ and, subsequently, make a pretty staright-forward find.

TNLN

Thanks Sweet-cakes

I came and I saw it and I found it and I left, never to return, as of yet.

An easy find once i used the right coordinates and had some help, though perhaps the cache should be moved because not only is it easily spotted but the inside of the container was wet so maybe at least the container should be changed.

All the people driving past make it a fun challenge to stay inconspicious.

After looking at the previous logs, i wasn't sure how i would go with this one, but, there are only so many places you can hide a one liter container. 2 mins later had it in hand for my 14th find. Took a set of coords, an average of 20 points. The old coords did indeed have me in the middle of the road.

New coords.

S 34 17.666
E 146 04.206

GZ was in the middle of a bitumen road and 50m from the actual cache.
Almost drove off empty handed but read the logs and thankfully Emmnmnl was accurate!

A hard one to find. Took a lot of searching. The coordinates seemed to be out.

Mungo Trip 4. Another cache that needed updated co-ords, but in the new spot there was cache. No one about here today. Thanks.

213. We realised that the middle of the road was not where the cache was but with changed coords and other problems we left this for....well probably never.

Couldn't find it... spent waaaaaay to long looking in original location before checking the history... Still couldn't find it with the new coords though...

Found by Greg, Josh & Cam 1005H 13/09/09. Cache has been muggled by a lowlife. Logbook torn up and contents scattered. I collected parts and hid container but not very well. Location needs rethinking.

New coords -34.29421 146.070175 (34 17.6526 S 146 4.2105 E)

Great to see some local activity! I thought I would get away with leaving these 3 new Griffith geocaches until this weekend, and still manage an FTF... Clearly that wasn't the case!

Emmnmnl's coordinates turned out to be spot on, so it didnt take me long to track down and log this one.

Thanks for the rest stop,
Cheers,
Murf.

Thanks for the cache. Nice to have a bit of local activity again. You may even encourage me to get another one out!! These coords should be a little closer to the cache. Nice work.
