Logs
The cache was removed for maintenance. I will replace it soon or move it to a more suitable location.
Found the cache but there was no log, was about to leave when I spotted the log scroll on the ground. SL #303 jammed log in so hopefully won't fall out easily on next find.

after several visits today i found what i think is the fastening device can someone please confirm if cache is missing or if it is still in tact.
This was another cache indicitive of my cruddy night's caching 1 for 6 and not getting any brighter ..... some days you score centuries, other's you get out for a duck ..... QUACK!
I can see how i missed this the first time round. Round two saw me still spend a descent amount of time here. Finally though i came away with a cache that blends in superbly.
My apologies for raising concern. Seems this one can be reactivated and i'll need to look harder. Thanks
Have had a look and cache is still in position with log intact - it may not be in the original position it is obvious from the right angle. it is a 3 star!

I will check on the cache in a few weeks when I return. It seems this cache has always had problems with the log vanishing multiple times and now the cache.
Being 'Nuts' by nature i arrived at this one fairly confident of an easy find. After checking all the usual suspects i was stumped.
checked with a friend after my DNF, for location and type. Seems this one may have gone walkabout
Had me running all over the field, but eventually caught it out with a googly TFTC
According to iriblet if you have not signed the log then you can not log a find!
I can't believe that this was a "walk up and grab". I spent more time rolling the log back up than doing anything else at GZ, which was a good thing in the rain.
Nice construction

Down from Queensland for a weekend raid with Tassiegirl13, Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ghost Gums, lochb, La Kedi, an Rebel Acts.
With eight of us desending on the area those way over in the club house must have wondered what all the fuss was about.
So as not to draw too much attention half of us stopped short to admire the field while the other half quickly added our sticker to the log.
In the end all was good and we're sure no one suspected anything.

This was, cache # 12 of 51 finds for the day, On day two of the MCBC raid on Sydney. My thanks to AussieCacher for the cache.
Arriving in carpark we realised this may not be quite so easy...
Morning has now progressed a bit ant the "Flannel Clad F--ls" brigade where staring to set up for a day of belting a red ball with a stick....
Both those rolling the pitch and a few in club house eyed us off as we approached GZ so subterfuge mode was engaged...
While majority of us milled around looking & pointing at all & sundry the find and logging was left to a sneaky couple..
Soon all was done and we then wandered back to car park with the on lookers probably bemused but none the wiser

Well the pitch was being prepared for a days play as we arrived. With a couple of muggles around, mainly focussed getting the field ready, some of us to redirect any possible interest in us, decided to do a pitch report while the rest went for the cache. I was hoping to stick the car keys in the pitch, but there wasn't enough time.
Found while spending an enjoyable weekend finding caches around Sydney with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, lochb, La Kedi, Tassiegirl13, bedmaker and Rebel Acts.

Eight people descending on GZ, we decided to split and use some as decoys... We lined the boundary fence at varying degrees while a couple continued to GZ to commence the hunt... [^]
With curiosity increasing from willow lovers at the club house and some cursory glances from the guy maintaining the wicket, the hide had to be nabbed carefully. We sent in the best though and all was executed with precision...
Names etched in the parchment, we slowly wandered back to the cars and shot through... I'm sure the muggles are still wondering what the attraction was... It's a shame they might never find out...
Cheers AussieCacher.

Found in the company of the MCBC - 2 of us from Vic, and 6 from Qld - on a weekend raid of Sydney caches.
Fairly quick find - nice hide! TFTC

Despite coming out here bright and early, we weren't quite early enough, and had to act interested in the clubhouse and the fence and the nets under the eyes of the lawnsmen and a couple of watchers in the clubhouse. We split up to provide distracting cover as we got someone with the right dimensions to retrieve the cache, and rthen I distracted them further by asking to use the facilities, which needed two keys and a serious amount of effort to unlock! Lovely hide, TFTC. =^.^=

Even though I didn't know the score, the match was great. Sneaky but fun to find with the geokids.

Very hard this one!!! Will not give up though!!! I will wonder up later to find it!!!!
Finally found it! Very sneaky we were all looking at it both times we were here. As soon as read several logs we discovered it. Haha TFTC c",)
Checked on this one today and found not in correct spot also cache container missing. Found camo and fitted new log. Fitted cache/camo back to it's cheeky spot and will organise a new container.

Quick find on a quiet day and a quiet field. Camo still in place but (as not in area very often) just added name to temporary log inside.
Didn't realise this one was disabled at the time, but still found it without trouble. Placed a scrap of paper in it for the next couple of cachers to sign, but I always love these clever containers. Thanks for the cache
I will disable this one until the log can be replaced. The log has been taken half a dozen times. If there is no log in the cache feel free to drop one in and sign it to claim your find.
No six's for the day but found cache with Baktak & SJamp. No log inside to sign.
Found on our Rouse Hill cache day with Greyscreek and sjamp. Greyscreek laid his fingers on this one first, but alas, no log inside so DNSL
The log will be replaced soon. Someone in the area must not like this cache. The log has been taken multiple times.
#18 for Baktrak, Greyscreek and Sjamp on a cachefest. Couldn't sign the log and didn't see our names on the scoreboard, but enjoyed the find and the construction. TFTC.
Found on after a movie at rouse hill town centre. Ps log is missing. Found a ripped segment on the ground.

Found but not signed (no log). Would be a bit more challenging if there was a game on.
With the weather being better today, I was able to have a bit more of a look around for this well camoed cache. Hey, that looks different! The tiny cache didn't have any log inside, so I went back to the car to grab the Camera and tooks some photos of the empty cache.

No luck with this little aussie cache. I had to leave the scene as it started to pour down with rain.

B-rad, EM and Lachlan found within 10 secs wife on the other hand searched for half an hour and still couldn't find it. It drove her nuts.
After a little bit of advice from RIGBYinc I thought I'd go out and give this one another shot. Found after a little harder look. TFTC
found on my second visit. Needed a little hint from a fellow cacher. Very clever hide indeed! TFTC!

Found this one very quickly, which surprised us!!

Reperio at 0930. Parked on the opposite side to GZ and made my way across this beautiful sports ground. After a bit of a search, the well hidden cache was found. Wouldn't have minded playing here every weekend.

Walked around the oval with iFeelU today. Hmm a red nano should show up easily around here. Discovered the clever camo job after a short search. Thanks for a nice hide AussieCacher.
I liked this one!!! Very smart piece!
Did couple today with Richary, wasn't planned but we did about 3 or 4. Nice to meet you mate

Finnally got back to this one missed due to muggles playing a game on the oval larst time. Except for two blokes walking around and round and around it gave us enough time between laps to look and locate this one. Log was quickly signed and just had to wait for the next lap to return it and leave.

Another one of those clever hides of AussieCacher.
Had to grab it and sign the log in between a muggle doing laps of the oval.

Quite impressed with both the simplicity and effort that this cache represents.
What a wonderful sporting facility!

I knew what I was looking for here and i knew where to look too but despite all that, I STILL couldn't see it!! It wasn't until I started to feel everything that I found the thing that was out of place becasue it moved! TFTC
Nice little cache. Being an engineer, I saw it, without realising it was the cache, but then thought "hang on, that's not right!" and sure enough the cache was soon in hand. One of the smallest we have seen. TFTC! VK2GOM - Rob & Jess
We were fairly confident in what we were looking for. The Hills bike ride made access to the oval a bit tricky and Blossom was a bit concerned about moving the barricades so we could park.
Should have been a much quicker find but sometimes you walk up and grab them and the next one takes a while.

Quick walk from the nearby cache to this one, a single grounds keeper hosing down the pitch was paying no attention to us at all. Easy find. Nice job with this one.

WaywardWoman told me I was on fire and totally freaked out but then I realised it was just a metaphor so I was eventually proud of myself. TFTC.
Cache Hunt 281; GAFF1; Weather, Overcast/rainy; Helpers, Morgans2320, Stevishere, MattKwashere; Cache condition, Good. Find of the day, 4th - STATUS - Found.
Arriving here, after SIH not previously being able to find it, we thought we had a chance. The description gave us 2 options, and we spread out to search. Within a minute, mattkwashere, was caught off a little way with something in his hands. Ahh he had found cache and was trying to sign it on his own. Nice try MWH. We all SL and I was very impressed with the camo, really clever. MWH returned cache and we headed to another close cache. Will this ever end? cache after cache after cache...LOVE IT !!!! TFTC.

We attended the nearby event today, but we were at this cache on our own. I was reading out the terrain rating, but NickoHeap had it in his hands before the sound of my voice was lost on the wind (rather poetic!) So a nice easy find. Good to finally get this one after it being out of action for so long. Thanks
Aussie Cacher had worked hard to get a whole lot of newies out for the event today. So rather than queueing up at those for FTF's, we went for a few others around the area. Our youngest found this one almost immediately. Looked just like part of it. TFTC
Found this with MattKwashere> and also with fellow caches.
Great Hide thanks Aussie.
Did take a while and a phone call but we got it in the end.

I couldn't wait any longer!
After my evening meeting at work, I set out on a night caching adventure -- only 20 minutes drive from the office . . .
Two athletes of some sort were still working out under the floodlights, and they kindly directed me towards the scoreboard area, where I had the enormous complex all to myself.
Unfortunately, I'd left my little torch in the GeoBuru! Ever-resourceful, however, I used the light from my GPSr and quickly zeroed in on the clever cache.
Published coordinates were pretty good. CO's directions and clues were useful. Cache container is in great shape and the log scroll is dry.
TNLNSL. A quasi-FTF for this newly re-established cache!
Many thanks to AussieCacher.

This cache was checked on. A part of the cache is still there but it needs fixing. It will be fixed within the next 2 weeks.
Any further updates on this one? I'd love to see another 'AussieCacher' cache activated!
Just a quick maintenance note, feel free to delete it at your will.
The nano + log on this one is gone, however the camo is intact.
