As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

I,ve just checked this cache and it has gone missing again.
I'll try to set it up again soon.

26 / 39 found today, found a good spot to pull over and make the brief walk to GZ had the cache found in a few minutes, Thanks for bringing us here

After a good start to my cache spree, I was about to give up on the cache as it was eluding me. Just as I was having a rest I found it.

Easy find. Lots of rubbish around. Brought a piece of litter away, as it looks like it will make a nice geocache container.TFTC

found it finally after many attempts till we thought of a similar cache. then was easy....tyfc go team stevens

Reperio at 0635. Stopped by here on a morning of caching, and whilst the cache was quickly found, it was neatly tucked away. A few muggles driving by certainly looked at me like I was an alien, but I just pretended to be playing with the nearby sign.

Gratias.

Nice quick find, be careful of the spiderwebs!

6th found for the day with snoopy1976

Found it - good spot. TFTC.

Good hide, been meaning to do this one for sometime, finally did. TFTCSL

Found on a mammoth day's caching of 124 caches in 17 hours around the Maitland and Port Stephens area with The Rats and Farmer Frenzten .

Even considering how early it was there were still a couple of cars passing by. Even the darkness didn't stop us making a pretty quick find here. TFTC!

#4683 Found this cache as part of the Rats, Steeba & FarmerFrentzen blitz on the Port Stephens area. The use of a torch and nite made this hide shine brightly.
Thanks

Found during a 17 hour caching spree with The Rats and steeba that yielded 124 finds.

A quick find under torchlight in the wee hours of the morning.

TNLN and thanks Maverick222 for the cache.

TFTC SL - Great day to catch up on a few Cache's on the way to a Scout meeting.

Heading out to the airport to meet my daughter so grabbed this cache as I passed by. Co-ords were spot on and I soon had the log in my possession. It was signed and returned without difficulty. Thanks for this quick drive-by.

Mrs Madstars loved this little cache.

Very obvious but well hidden in complete view...

Thanks for a cool cache.

first find for the day little time to get use to the hema 5 setting as they are in dms but we got it in the end.

Nice easy find. Look at the photo to see what you're after

Doing some caching after attending a wedding with fitzy_1965.
Heading up to Nelson Bay for the night, and obviously doing some caches along the way.
Great day for it. There was a road closure so this one was done muggle free
TFTC!

2824 - Visiting the region with ACBC 66 for a wedding....

Heading up to Nelson Bay for some R&R this was a quick stop. With one of the roads closed at the moment there were no muggles around so it was a quick find. Nice hide with some natural camo !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found at 11.55am GAFF1. Ha! Now there is an interesting camo - don't know if it was intentional or not, but Mr Spider is doing a great job in covering this little cache up.
Thanks maverick222 - how did you train the spider?

Quick drive by cache. SL. TeamAJKW

Quick easy drive-by TNLN thanks.

hahaha clever! Lots of roadwork but it doesnt interfer with the cache, just be careful where you park. Spotted quickly luckily as this is a hide I havent seen before! Cheers from Sydney

Very Nice hide.
Roadworking Muggles around but still managed to grab, sign and run.

On the way home... just passing by

Easily found,spotted it from a distance.TFTC

got to the location and was leaning on the hiding place looking for a good spot for the hide. after moving away I spotted it and a quick sign and off again

TFTC

First night time cache find. Nicely hidden & hard to find in the dark!

A drive by cache that I have driven by plenty of times with-out the opportunity to stop and seek. But today, with the weather and all, I got a chance to slip and slide in the mud and jot down the name of that developer from sydney who is building ALL those lots accross the road on the other side of ALL that roadwork. a quick find and a quick neat log. TFTC.

Found without difficulty. Too easily. The cache was exposed. Re-hidden with a bit of camouflage.
TNLNSL TFTC

Approached this one from the right angle and spotted it straight away. Lots of roadwork's going on.

I've moved the cache along about 80m, hopefully it will be safer there.

I've now replaced the cache and moved it along 90m,

Good luck and good hunting.

Very quick an easy cache, Nice cache container, well secured.

Clever litte hide this one.

[Well hidden, I thought this one was very good.] Well hidden inside the pailing on the fence

Took Hubby out for one that was close to home as he wanted to know what this sport was all about...whaddya know-he found this one-his first ever cache find...now he brags!

TNLNSL

co ords were spot on, noticed it straight away... loved the container

nice container. tftc!

Searched all over the tops, back and forth when

i walked back to where i started saw something very obvious...

Yes found it!!

This turned out to be a quick drive by. Easy, but clever hide for such a micro. 2nd find on this one for the day! TFTC.

Found this one on my first geocashing expedition with Smook. Great hiding spot, very clever. Had a bit of trouble with a muggle when we went to put it back after signing the log, so carried out an elaborate "searching through the car for something" act until he drove off. Thanks for the cache

Late logging this one. Sorry I forgot with logging all the others completed.

Nifty little canister. Found it east enough.

11:58am
I was totally blind to this one, I looked all over that post but did not see it, wife found it instantly.

Cheers

Nice find on a very wet day...Had to get outside so I grabbed a cache close to home...Took young Tamykian with me to get her out of the house as well.

We used to live at Thornton so were very familiar with this one. Trying out our new GPS - found this one very easily. TNLNSL TFTC

Pt. Stephens Invasion.3. Quite a busy turn, but I got the car close enough to not make it too obvious what was going on. Thanks.

This one is the true definition of a drive by. The cache was found, retrieved and signed all from the drivers window.

Thanks maverick222 for the cache.

The second cache for tonight that was adorned by a spider of reasonable size. Having tackled the last one gently to cause him no harm, McPhan expected me to do something with this spider too - I don't know, pick it up and take it home? No thanks. Question to answer - why is someone 6 foot 6 tall scared of spiders?? Anyway an easy find, avoiding the spider. Thanks Maverick222.

Found with Team McWinTrexON sometime in the middle of the night when I was starting to loose the plot and the day's caching was beginning to run together in my mind. Appreciate the cache Maverick222.

Found as part of the McWinRexOn team, A late night visit revealed the cache hiding place and it's little friend.
Interesting use of this sort container that I haven't seen before
TFTC. and the idea.

2169. Truth in advertising is alive and well. We had noticed during our invasion weekend that the names up here aren't that cryptic and true to form I was able to discern the meaning of this cache's name.

TFTC and the scrubby hide.

Great cache. Didnt know what to expext when we turned up and it all that was there is a fence and a few trees.

#300 cache this one

Found with the Cash Man & TheWobblys. TFTC

Nearly a first to find, but we are more than happy with 2nd. A great little cache, and even met gd___ who stopped on his way past, knowing that he'd already found it and we could not be doing anything else other than looking for the cache! TFTC!

I was heading out the door to go watch my daughter row in a regatta at Morpeth and checked for new listings before I went, and what do you know a new cache that I had to drive right past anyway. So off I went stopped for a quick *FTF* and made it to the regatta on time. Spotted Rainbush filling in the log on my way home, so stopped to say G'Day.

Thanks maverick222

Got home from hitting a few caches and saw this listed. Jumped back into Subi-two and after checking the logs headed out for a possible FTF. Hit the GZ and Geo-wife came up with the cache.....drum-roll ... gd__ FTF. Well done, guess we will continue to hunt for a FTF next weekend. Great hide. TFTC.
