As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

As I walked up to this one I thought to myself "why hasn't this been muggled?" But then I saw what's written in the logbook and it's very obvious that the local kids know of its presence 'cos they've been leaving ribald messages in the book. Oh well, kids will be kids...

A quick find and sign, thanks bearsleys.

My, the trees have certainly grown in the last 5 years. I'm happy the drought is finally over.

Plenty of green spotted marsh frogs around... making a clacking sound at night like two rocks colliding.

Was in the area to meet a friend, but he was running over an hour late, so had some time to waste while waiting. What to do? Obviously, I did the logical thing and went cache hunting! Short walk to this one, got to GZ and was about to start looking at the exact coordinates when some cycling muggles decided to stop right next to the GZ. Ahhh, wondered around looking at the different species trying to remember which was which until they moved on. Took a bit of looking as the coordinates are to one of the trees, but it was not the one with the cache. So started checking the next trees along (having failed to remember anything about species recognition) and found it at the next tree back, about 5 metres from the giving coordinates. The listed TB is not in the cache. Thanks for the cache Bearslys.

3.08PM

Getting quite hot out in the sun now, walked from the other side of the water channel where my car was parked. I was very close to GZ when I spotted a muggle local (Came through a gate in his fence) so I continued on pretending I was on my way through. I hid around the corner for a while, waiting for the guy to disappear. I then headed back towards GZ, where there was now no sign of the muggle - Maybe he is the lawnmower man?? I then located the cache quickly.

Thanks to bearsleys for the cache. The travel bug listed was not there but there was a different one which I now have in my posession.

28-12 2nd find of the day at 10:48 and 1205th find in total.
Yes Tatty, that was us at the cache or at least it would have been except Spice wasn't at the cache yet.
With someone there to point out the cache the hardest part of this one was finding the best place to park.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks bearsleys (7 the lawnmower man) for the caching fun!

{Sent from a mobile mind}*** Smile+

Quick find after going to Edithvale beach with my girlfriends. TFTC
 
28-Dec-10
Our second find for the day, taking advantage of the nice weather. Whilst getting out of the car after parking we spotted what looks to be the street that had the lightning storm last week, tarps on roofs everywhere! We arrived at the secret forest after a short stroll and I nudged the kids in the correct direction so they could make the easy find. On leaving to walk to the next cache along I happened to turn around and spot someone appear at GZ only 2min after we left and fiddling with a GPS looking gadget in their hand, called back in on our way back to the car to see it was echo & spice that signed the log.
Thanks for the cache the bearsleys Smile

#11 We so so so so loved this cache! Sun was shining and it really was the perfect day for a walk. I loved all those different trees and kept taking pictures of them while Mr.P was trying to find the cache. I just so wish there had been some benches as I would have loved to have sat down for a bit.

We saw some loooooooovely doggies on the way back to the car. Happy day!

Oh yes, there is a lot to swap in this cache, but I didn't have anything with me this time. sigh.

Were busy marching off to where we 'thought' it was going to be when we checked the coords and doubled back. As Snake and Spike looked at each other confused, StephanieK dived in and retrieved the cache! Thanks for a great cache in a cool location. We were even fortunate to see a flock of sulpher crested cockatoos on our way back to the geomobile.

My iPhone GPS was way out on this one, sent me all over the park... lol ! Finally triangulated the coordinates and got close. All this time the Non Geocaching Wife had found the cache almost as we arrived. She knows the rules and did not let on while I was walking around in circles scratching my head. Was a fun day out for the family and we made many finds. This one excited the kids the most with the foreign currency. ( now they think they are rich !)
