Bandstand with no Band Branxton, New South Wales, Australia

This one went missing in a recent ANZAC day cleanup. It has had a great life. I will let it go.

Found morgan and partridge but nothing more ... then I saw the recent logs and realised why there was no more.

This cache has been muggled. Id say during the cleanup prep for anzac day. I live right opposite it and checked it tonight. Def gone.

No find. Seems missing as there is a object here suitable for a cache but is empty. DNF TFNC

Found it. A game of Croquet happening amongst the fog. Nice easy find while camping on our trip around Australia

Travelling down from Qld for the Oz Geo Muster Event and picking up a few caches whilst staying in the district. Nice hide and a quick find here today.

Found March 28, 2018

We came across your cache, darth trader, during day one of caching pre-Easter Mega.

Quick park n grab.

Log signed and replaced at 5:30 pm on 28 March 2018. TFTC.

We are staying overnight here in the great free camp. Plenty of room for the van and nice and quiet. This was found quickly. A very cool hide. All is good with the cache
Thanks for placing this cache

We are heading to Morisset for the Geo Muster at Easter with the caravan in tow.
Today we travelled from just out of Dubbo to Braxton for the night and after setting up camp we headed off to do the 2 caches within walking distance.
This cache was at the spot we were camping but we had to pick our time between other campers and the school bus drop offs. Spotted it though so it was easy to be discrete.

We have headed south a few weeks early to have a little holiday prior to attending the Oz Geomuster Mega event and found ourselves initially spending a few days in Sydney before heading off to the Hunter Valley wine region So far, we have managed to find a few caches before the heavy rain started to spoil our fun

We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you %OwnerName for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Mr Minion was playing his cricket semi final nearby this afternoon , unfortunately his team lost. So I came to find this cache afterwards. it was a really quick find as it was sticking out a bit . Thanks for the cache darth trader tnln sl

Found. Live right near it. Easy to keep an eye on. Happy finding.

Found with my dad before it gets too hot. TFTC

After a lovely family filled Christmas my bf, Genghicat, and I are slowly making our way home to Canberra. Thanks to a heat wave we decided the coastal route was wise.
ARE you kidding me? Genghicat and I came through last year and spent nearly an hour looking for this cache. I'm sure it wasn't here, cause today we drove up, opened our door and saw it within 10 seconds. Ah well got it now.
Tftc

Nice and easy find, Bloody hot day here today! TFTC

Found. Clever Hide. picked up a trackable. Looks like its only just been set free by its owners. Looking forward to moving it on.

Left MeAndMyMinions256 looking while I went to use the facilities and when i came back she was still looking and I walked straight up and found the cache. TfTc

Nice Quick find. TFTC

Please disregard my previous post and "needs maintenance"! I returned in the daylight and located the cache. From the description it is intended to be in sight, so restored to this status. TFTC

Pretty sure that this one is "missing in action". Picture attached to past log confirmed the type of cache I was looking for. No sign of one in my search location guided by the generous hint. Will post "needs maintenance".

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Second find on our guide night, thanks for the cache!

Found it!!!!!!!!!!! Me and my friends went out for a ride and we thought we should try to find it after 10 minutes of searching my friend wanted to go home then he found it the clue really helped

Heading home from our Lightning Ridge holiday.
Stopped here for lunch.
Took a little while to solve the puzzle of the hint. Then found it.
Thanks darth trader

Christina and Apu travel bugs also visited

Too many muggles

Travelling in the area for a few days. Log dry, cache hide in good condition. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL

Thanks for placing this cache darth trader

Had a dig around and could not find it. Got excited when I dug up an old tuner tin. No luck

Searched around even did some digging after reading logs

This one tricked us twice. Finally we have the cache in hand! Had to dig a little. TFTC

Pulled up here and there was no band playing but there were some muggles playing croquet on this Saturday morning.
Took a read of the logs before we managed to find this one but it was exactly what we thought we would find here thanks to the generous and clever clue.
This camp area wasn't in our Camps 8 book when we checked but we kept it in mind and actually ended up coming back here for the night.
Thanks.

Have just done a wineries tour and wanted to find a cache in the area. Tftc. We're happy now!

6526 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1140. Watched the croquet set hitting that wooden ball through the hoops as we made the find and SL Tnx darth trader

Tricky find but kiddies liked it

Had to dig a fair bit for this one.. well hidden. TFTC!.. found with cache.

Tftc! Found with Hulksmash87 and JSB001!

Found with kittycakess and hulksmash87

Found a similar one to this in Mackay QLD

Tricky!!!

Nice and quiet on a Sunday afternoon. But the silent band led me to the cache. Good hint. TFTC Darth Trader

Clever hide. TFTC

Great hide. Tftc

Still catching up on some logs for 2016. Found in September/October while up home for five days up visiting family (aussieben and kingfisherau).

As always beautiful area the Hunter Valley, glad I grew up here and can't wait to return one day for good with our little geofamily. TFTC.

This should have been my 500th cache. I found a bag and a lot rubbish, a superball and a bouncy ball but no cache. Not even genghicat had luck. So on we trundled to another. I really wanted the tb to. So was hiss undex pressure a soft drink bottle cause I found an empty one of that. Nothing else including the electric unit seemed suspicious.

Well, thought the hint was excellent and would be a quick find especially since maintenance was just done but nothing to be fount, not even a sprinkler.

Cache check. Replaced log sheet. Was buried under new mulch.

Could someone please check if this is still here. We couldn't find it.

(We may just have missed it)

I am in the area this morning finding a few caches before heading south.
A short search before spotting this one tucked away.
Thanks for the cache.

2nd time trying this cache and finally found it! Very tricky, cheers!

Such a clever cache and hint. My mate was on the ball and found it. We were searching for a good while..

We stopped and found the cache on our way home from lunch today - very tricky hide! Thanks darth trader

We had lunch at a winery today for my geowife's birthday, and we had the green-light for a few caches on the way home... She was navigating, and read out the hint - partridge, kiss, under pressure? Must be musical based, I had in mind concert posters or something.... We got to GZ, I got the GPS as re-read the hint - right! I knew exactly what I was looking for, and where. Still took an age, probably at least 15 minutes or more. Checked the spot three times at least, it was very well re-hidden previously!

There are two logs and bags, and some swag, so it is a very tight fit - I think the log needs refreshing because before long it may compress into a immovable mass..... Good hide, better than the other example of these I've seen. TFTC darth trader

Found it! TFTC!

Very clever.
The bag holding the log is torn slightly and the log is a little damp.

Nice easy one great adventure love this

Clever clue

TFTC. Well done.

Definitely needed the clue. Was a good hide and there was some slugs guarding it too.

Tftc

Was a slug of fun

Visiting a friend in the area today and I figured I couldn't go past a few quick caches while I was up this way... I detoured in here and found the place to myself, which is always nice, but never unusual for a weekday hunter like me... And with a simple clue to deduce a quick find was made... Although there were a half dozen Slugworths were holding tight and guarding the find - never mind, flicked them aside and got to work etching my name within. Thanks for the find dearth trader

Tftc!

TFTC! neat hide. Well done. Tx

Nice hide

Out on the road today with mr_roo on a fast paced, kilometre munching cache cleanup, and grab for numbers mostly, as he approaches his 8k and me 2k.
Our destination touched Ourimbah, Gosford, Mooney, Cowan, Peats Ridge, Wollombi, Laguna, Broke, Bulga and Somewhere near Putty and Yengo, ending with a touch of Cessnock, and Charlestown at the Asylum.

Found very quickly this time around with a fresh clean look.

Expedition to the hunter today for the geocaching road trip with a T5/D5 as the primary reason, but also to pick up a few local caches we had missed out on during a prior visit to the area, second time back here during the day this time quickly located TFTC darth trader

Nice clever hide and find on this cold foggy winters morning. Love the hint. JenneG & Budgy TFTC

Boy it was cold and windy but we persevered and found the spot. Loved the hint.

It was morning tea time but the rain was setting in so we decided to crack open the Thermos and have a hot cuppa and bikkies in the car and wait for the rain to ease. Now that there's a little less rain we went for the cache but the wind was blowing madly. Brrrr! Went with the hint to speed things up so we could get back in the car and warm up. Great hide!

Nice hide

found it!

Found it, with kingfisher_au and scalex9

Ha ha we love the home made geocache nice hide

Correct there "d t"
There was no band to play a fanfare as I strolled into this caching arena

Putting that disappointment behind me I began stealthily poking around for a cache hide.
Hmmm ??
A toughie !!
This was a real Branxton pickle !! [:o)]

Mmmm !! Branxton pickle

I read the cache notes in hope of some inspiration (ie: clues).
Well that got me thinking.
And me thinking was spot on !!

A very well hidden cache was my reward [^]
Best I've seen of this type of cache hide !!

TFTC.

TFTC 1347# at long last

Excellent cache

After stopping by the other day and not finding the cache, it had been playing on my mind, so I decided to stop by again before work and try a slightly different approach. This time I quickly came up with the cache in its very nicely done camo.
Thanks for the tricky cache!

Well, second time lucky with this one. This was a sneaky hide and I cannot see why I missed it the first time.
Well done Darth trader a nice hide. TFTC

Had a quick look for this one in the morning. Nothing jumped out at me so I went to work.

Found on a day mission with the tritonz and noddyb77 .

A easy find

TFTC.

Found with Tack123 and The_Tritonz.
Cool cache!!

Found on a days caching with Tack123 and Noddyb77 in the area.

Such a clever hide we loved it!!!

Sneaky! Got it this time!

Finally found this one. Good hide, thanks.

Cache check.

Still here. Still dry. I may have to put the difficulty up a lvl on this one.

I was going to add this one to my four day search raid around greater Newcastle, but it appears it needs a check, thanks.

Suspected that it has been muggled
