Needs new log. Looks like all the new geocachers in the area can't help with a little bit of maintance, like i do when i find a log damaged. Getting the numbers looks like the name of the game these days.
 
16-Apr-13
Easy find but this cach needs some maitainance.
 
11-Apr-13
Pulled over to see what was around and was practically sitting on top of this one already. Super quick to find but needs maintenance.
 
11-Apr-13
Cache has no lid and the log has turned to pulp so I couldn't sign it.
 
11-Apr-13
Very easy to find but case not waterproof. Couldn't sign the log but TFTC.
 
07-Apr-13

We were able to meet up with friends DiMorgan and got together to do some caching around the Newcastle area. It was a fun day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find.
Thanks to TheWobblys.

Headed to Newcastle today with Liz & Bruce to find a few caches & to visit the many locations around town. A nice quick find after arriving at GZ.
No lid on the cache container, contents still dry.

Nice
 
Cool
 
11-Apr-12
A quick drive by. Thanks.
Plastic bag containing log had many holes. Replaced bag with new one as cache lid is missing and could result in log becoming wet.
 
10-Apr-12
Container lid is missing.
 
23-Mar-12
Found on my birthday, another day for the stats, love those pies, TFTC Wobblys!!
 
18-Mar-12
Very disappointed when I arrived and it wasn't a pub!
A different type of watering hole. Very different from the ones around in Victoria too.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice quick find. The container needs some TLC. Cool
 
18-Feb-12

Found on Feb 11th with Kung David. Photo log (no pen). Have walked past several times without noticing this spot, enjoyed the visit. Tftc.
 
10-Feb-12
Needs a new ziplock, log is wet. No pen, photo will have to do. Thanks for the cache, have walked past the trough hundreds of times, never noticed it.
 
Saw one of these in a little better nick over at Stockton.
I think they thought the stockton one was the last one but obviously not Wink
Cheers for bringing us here.
 
28-Jan-12
Sneaky hiding spot. Our first find!
 
20-Jan-12
The constant onslaught of muggles made this a difficult one to retrieve and replace but we got there in the end. TNLN TFTC thanks

Wow, someone in this area has some very fresh breath! TFTC!

Thanks for the cache. As visitors from Chicago, Illinois USA we really appreciate caches that are placed so visitors can find them. We have enjoyed the area and have made interesting side trips because of caching.
 
17-Nov-11
Nice little find just down the road from our Newcastle office.

TFTC
 
07-Nov-11
My first cache Smile
 
31-Oct-11
I found this cache a few months ago. But today I had time to write in the log. It's a shame that the water trough is now days only used for collecting rubbish.

Find #5 on an after dinner Newcastle cache hunt.
Straight forward find, however there was still plenty of muggle action even after 10pm.

That was interesting. I did know it was there.

Nice cache, some drugo lady in the phone booth lol, tftc

My hand was coming from one direction and Hagars' from another, oups I felt something "warm" and removed my hand quickly - Hagar came up with the cache!
 
05-Jul-11
Seen many of these but this is the first metal one
TFTC
 
05-Jul-11
Great hide.....tftc
 
04-Jul-11
The area was easy to spot, we had already seen one of these in Stockton. A quick search around gave us the cache, which we logged nearby. A car and passenger were still parked metres away so a trip to the nearby Darby's was necessary until they left, allowing a sneaky return. Thanks for a good hide.

Nice one the seekers small hand helped SL TFTC.

I tried finding this cache from memory - but no success. Now that I've read the description and hint again I have a better idea.
 
06-May-11
Been keen to do this one for a while as I have a simaller one in Stockton called 'Horse Bar'.
Good to see that all the history hasn't gone.
Thanks to The Wobblys.
 
23-Apr-11
This would have seen a few gallons sucked up in it's time. Would it still hold its fill for more than an hour would be the question now. Clear skies.
 
14-Apr-11
Found fairly quickly late at night. Nice little hide. TFTC Smile
 
13-Apr-11
Too many animals already enjoying their morning mouthfuls!
I'll have to come back for this one.

Lots of snails. TNLN TFTC
 
07-Apr-11
Pretty well knew where this would be as I approached and confirmed this by looking in, but needed a triple jointed elbow to actually reach it. The nearby seat was conveniently placed to sit and log inconspicuously whilst the muggle traffic passed by. Replaced a bit more easly reached, but still well out of sight. Thanks TheWobblys.
 
25-Mar-11
This is one of my favourite streets in the newcastle area which we are frequent visitors of....
The cache was found quickly but i had to pick my time to retieve it and also get it back to its hide as there were plenty of muggles about...
SL TFTC and left my calling card.
 
11-Mar-11
Was cycling past and sussed it out, but too many muggles to look properly. Will attempt later.
 
08-Mar-11
Looked for this today ... but no luck
 
06-Mar-11
Found it quickly this morning in the obvious spot. It wasn't there last time when we looked!!!! SL TFTC
 
27-Feb-11
Too bad the trough is being used for a been. Might be nice to have some plants in it! Thanks for bringing us here. SL TFTC Cheers........Gaztek
 
09-Feb-11
I originally tried this one yesterday but had no idea how busy GZ was... So I decided to leave it til today knowing I would be up and out early. No trouble finding the cache... Wink

Out for a day in a new place.. first find of day.. Lovely quaint area.. TFTC
 
22-Jan-11
Reperio at 1550. Arrived at GZ just as the next door neighbour started up his lawnmower. The coords were a little eractic and kept pointing me out to the middle of the road, but eventually just looked in the spot I expected the cache to be, and there it was.

Gratias.
 
07-Jan-11
We looked high and low, in and out, up and down..you get the picture. We couldn't find it. Will keep a watch.
 
04-Jan-11
Out and about doing maintance on my caches around town.

This cache now has a new log and a new container.

Happy caching.

We wanted to do some caches today and this was the second one. The cache is very wet, but we managed to write our names anyway. TFTC!
