WanAus 114 - Big Red Hammer 2 Coconut Grove, Northern Territory, Australia
By WanderingAus on 14-Aug-09. Waypoint GC1X2NB

MIA! As this WAS hidden in plain sight. I think this GC has been muggled! Having found it in Dec, I have not seen it since.

I won't be in Darwin until June, so it's time to free up the area for a local.

Thanks to the 129 cachers who found it.

Looked for a good 10 minutes, with the odd wait for a muggle to pass.. Could find it. TFTC anyway..

Everyone says it's an easy find, but not for me (and my assistant geocacher in the form of a geocolleague)

This was found on a great geocaching tour together with Landlockedsailors

We had made a list of caches that we wanted to find and then we found some extra as we came along. It was a really good day with some good finds!

This was one of the not planned ones, but a good one. I love shopping in these places and often due back home in Denmark. A very quick find [^]

Thanks a lot for the cache

#26. Found it on 2nd try. Not so many employee muggles this time, just Christmas shoppers rushing in and out!

Clever little hide. What's that doing there???

TFTC. Very clever hide. I wonder how many people have walked past it and wondered why it's there? You have to laugh at the ingenuity of cachers!
Note - log is very full and as I grabbed this one on a late night airport pick up I wasn't able to do the honours.
Cheers.

I like your thinking! TFTC

Quick easy find as have seen one of these before. Still makes me smile!
Log has space SL

Great to find WanAus's replica of our Bunbury cache. Thanks Wan Aus.

Made a very quick find here with richlink. Thanks WanderingAus.

Found

Would have to be our all time favorite shop! Seen plenty of this type of cache before. Nice and easy whilst on our drive to the Mindil Markets.

TFTC

Nice one, gladly we know this kind of cache;) tftc!

clever hide! tftc

Found it! Nice quick find.

Clever cache

Spending time in Darwin to do some caching, relaxing and maybe some fishing.
We went past this in daylight hours, don't bother - muggle city.
Went back after dark, and found it after a short search.
Thanks for the cache, WanderingAus.

Sneeky hide, nothing to log name on great cache tho!

Found it log book full

Nice quick find even at night. As it was pretty late I could park up right at the GZ which gave me a bit of cover.

After a busy morning of caching we have decided to have an afternoon off. Bill dropped me off at the shopping centre while he headed towards the big red hammer, Jayco & some other big boys toy shops.
Thanks Wandering Aus

Tricky little hide! Clever disguise!TFTF

Well weren't this the easy cache find on my big red pushbike today
I rode up to GZ, checked out the DIY houses on display, and soon found a cache nearby
If you don't find this cache, then the nearby facility will give you 10 percent off your next cache find

17/6/13 quick cheeky find

A little out of place

A quick easy find. Very quiet today. TFTC

Hit the bikes again, and travelled around Nightcliff, and a little way south with Bettyboo3747.
Never quite understood the attraction of hiding caches at the Big Red Hammer. I have certainly done a few.
This was a nice quick find, which was just as well, as it was a busy place today.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3515. Day 2 of cycling around Darwin with Robmc and trying to collect caches along the way. Altogether not a hugely successful day - gathering 20 Founds and getting 6 DNF's.

Caches at these places are for me, on a par with playground caches - I really dislike them. We arrived at GZ to a relatively quiet carpark and as we have seen quite a few of these hides success was soon ours.

TFTC WanderingAus

Nice quick find. If I hadn't of seen one like this before I probably would of missed it. TFTC

Cashe spotted nice!

Clever hide

Very good hide. Excellent. Found on 14tj march 3013

Very good hide. Excellent. Found on 14tj march 3013

14th march excellent placement

Nailed it! TFTC

Haha nice one

Genius!

Easy find but a brilliant hide!! It particularly appealed to my husband so it gets a favorite point!!! TFTC

Hot hot day today as easy to find well hide thanksb

No luck- was night time and were interrupted by the Po Po so we moved on.

Nice quick find on a Saturday morning .... was able to drive right up to it. TFTC

I have done a handful of WanAus's caches on this trip and this was the last of them. I make it my 12th of yours which is pretty good given that I have barely cached in WA, and where they all are.

Have commented often as we drive past here almost daily that there is a cache over there, but never actually stopping to grab it. Finally did it today, but not while driving by. Rode to here on the electric bikes. The cache GZ looked like it could have helped us recharge but not needed so soon on our trip.

TFTC

Nice cache. Thanks.

LUV..! these type of cache containers... am going to get some and put them out down home....TFTC cheers..! cabbos

Nice easy one to school a learned friend......TFTC

Found this one very quick on our last day at Darwin.
Tonight we are heading for Europe and leaving this very beautifull and friendly country.
Thanks for showing this one.

Greetings from the Dutch team

What a great cache. No hammer people to stop me. Tftc

Easy find despite the presence of two Red Hammer people. Grabbed discreetly and returned
TFTC

What a beautiful day to run some errands and do some caching along the way.

Golf tomorrow !!!

Found on the way home from Netball

Find no4.

Cache in good condition and a fresh logsheet. The big green building was closed as it was late so had the carpark to myself. Seen quite a few of these types of hides - always nice. Thanks WanderingAus.

Great Hide - TFTC

Found on a day out with frog hoppin TFTC

Have seen a few of these before a quick grab and sign TFTC

My thanks to corunnaroad for replacing the lost log.

The cache is now good to go again.

No log was found, and I didn't have any spares available.

Ahhh, my second home. I always seem to find these places when travel, but maybe that's because they often have caches? I do love these plain site hides, and this one is surprisingly effective, however, no log today, so I have a photo as proof instead if required.

Thanks wanaus, TNLN

All sorted-new log in place-enjoy

Found in the garden bed with no log.

Nice thought.

Up here for a 25 year school reunion. Couldn't resist grabbing a couple of caches as well! I parked right at GZ and then proceeded to scrounge around looking for the cache. It wasn't till I approached it from another angle that I saw it - and felt real stoopid cause I have seen quite a few of these hides before!! Awesome TFTC.

Wow this is a great hide.

Cool

Great hide!

WanderingAus wandered by on day 48 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at Nightcliff Sports Club for a couple of hours of line dancing.

Having seen the logs by by Henry.Morgan on 26/02/2011 "... Needs a little maintenance after all the rain" and Gunnie69 on 17/04/2011 "... Log is a little damp after your recent rains. Hopefully it will hold out til it's full" I decided to replace the log.

The bag has a couple of holes in it, so I put the new log in a new ziplock bag and put that inside the original bag.

With luck it should last through the next wet season, if not I'll probably be back next year to replace it again.

Happy caching,

found it clever hide

Found 23:20, our last find for the weekend before heading for the airport, and the long flight home [xx(]

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks WanderingAus.

Marco is in Darwin for work, so I flew up for the long weekend so we could find some Darwin caches. We searched for this one after finding the nearby 'Open seven Days A Week' cache. I had a look for it while Marco went and got the car to move it closer to GZ. I must have had a girl look because Marco found it on his first look! TNLNSL TFTC

Nice easy find - not the first time we've visited a Bunnings car park this trip Cheers Gav [8759]

A nice quick find - One of many of these WanAus caches done on our Aussie caching adventure.

Needed a couple of things from the green place so why not do the caches. Straight-forward find but clever hide. TFTC.

Quick find after parking a metre away. I like these well camoed hides.
Thanks for the clever name, and for the cache WanAus

Find number 6 for the day, and find number 214 on the twentyth day of our month long trip to Warwick, Lightning Ridge, Boulia, Plenty Highway, Alice Springs, Ayres Rock, Darwin, and home. Found at 1255hrs Qld time.

These establishments must breed these particular kinds on caches. There is an exact same type of cache, in exactly the same kind of position, at the branch in Gladstone Qld. Easy find.

Cheers
Bundy

Very very nice

If I had spotted it as I drove past, I could have grabbed it without jumping out the car... [;O] These caches fit in very well. Log is a little damp after your recent rains. Hopefully it will hold out til it's full... [^]

Cheers WanderingAus.

Aaargh... Nice find. Needs a little maintenance after all the rain.

Easy find, TFTC

Nice cache, was the first time Master Binkey24 had seen one of this type.
TFTC {:)}

Very nice hide. Thanks.

Marshall's Geelong found this cache today,
this is a great cache ! we loved this one.

good hide!

TFTC

Great cache - our first like this - the kids found it hard to locate but what big smiles after !!

Out caching Darwin with Liz & Bruce on a warm and humid day (for South Australians anyway).

Seen these back in SA. TFTC.

Clever hide ... easy find ... TFTC

Hi Keith, nice to be doing one of your caches again. Thanks

found today, nice easy drive by find.

10.20am (with Anderka)
Daily tally #10/32

The geo-gods are smiling on us today if we got any closer, I wouldn't have had to get out of the car! We both saw it as we pulled up - can be very hard if you don't know what you're looking fore - easy if you do! I like these hides - makes caching fun!

TFTC!
Ywurry

10:20 (found with ywurry): 10 of 32. Both ywurry and I spied the little sucker as we pulled up into the car park. We soon had cache in hand, but had more of a challenge returning it. I had to walk to the doors of the Big Red Hammer to divert attention from a local muggle tying down his load. TFTC!
