Perhaps some one else would like to use this spot.

Sadly for McPhan the cache is still there at present!

456. That may explain why we didn't find it - - - or it was still there and we just missed it? Please don't answer and I'll believe it had been taken away for the maintenance.

Old PQ obviously.

Had our eye on this for some time and finally 'just did it'. The log has been wet so it's impossible to unroll it without it disintergrating. We did it at night so didn't have a chance to look around. Thanks for the cache Hoojar.
 
14-May-11
Found after help from the hint, thanks
 
07-May-11
Tried for this once before but had no luck after a while searching. Today we found it in the first place we tried. Funny how that happens.
Cheers,

A quick find on a muggle free Sunday afternoon. Certainly more construction here since my last visit. Thanks Hoojar, Chip and Ding for the cache
 
19-Apr-11
Quick find. Thanks Hoojar! One of our caches we did while visiting woolongong.
 
19-Apr-11
When we saw all the DNFs on this cache once we had found it, we were glad that we went for it before we looked at the logs, otherwise we would had passed it by! TFTC[^]
 
19-Apr-11
I didn't see the DNFs for this cache or I might have passed it by, given the experience we had in Wollongong. Yet somehow I turned up the cache within a few seconds of looking for it. So thanks

The geohubby thought things were grim by this stage, but he still managed to get this one in a few minutes. TFTC
 
10-Feb-11
Gave up. didn't know if I was at the right spot, but I was attacked by spiders.
Didn't think it was woth it.

Great little hide. TFTC RAB

We decided that this weekend was a good time to test out the bed (just made and installed by Black bunny) in our recently acquired camper van called Vicky.
Sadly, I wasn't well, the dogs got wet and tramped in and out and in and out, and Jenna ended up on the bed with us, and there just isn't room.
Added to that, it started to rain in the night, and we had the windows open, and things got wet.
We gave up and came home first thing after breakfast.

I had a good idea where this would be, but I let Mr Bunny do the investigating.

A quick find on a hide we have seen before. We were just getting ready to search when we accosted by a muggle couple asking directions to a convention nearby so after some pleasantries it was back to searching for the cache and making the grab. Thanks for another cache Hoojar
 
08-Jan-11
This one took a little longer than it should but finally found it with casper73. Thanks
 
08-Jan-11
Find it after sticking finger in some holes. Found with snoopy telling me to finger the holes
 
07-Jan-11
Quite a tricky and clever cache. Found this with a little help from mizmaz, thanks! Watch out for spiders Smile TFTC!
 
28-Dec-10
Im so happy to have extra pair of eyes with me..
Found it by cache helper...
Thanks for hunting and cache..
Interesting about this place...
Great place to study science there..
 
19-Dec-10
Found at 11.00.

Very Sneaky. Definately needed little fingers to retrieve.

07-Dec-10
As a part time student who is getting more and more enthusiastic to finish, summer session seemed like a good idea. Options were limited so I decided to come back to Wollongong again for Uni. The Innovation Campus still seems new to me, there was only the Science Centre there the last time I was here.

I passed the time at lunch with the "wonder if theres a cache near here" option. Grabbed it at home time.

Thanks for the cache Hoojar, Chip & Ding!
best wishes,
Wal

Figured this one out ages ago but finally back with an extra "eye" to make locating easier. Now where to start... nope, nope, yep! Quick and easy find with the right technique/tool... and a quiet day.
 
27-Nov-10
Found this one with MizMaz after a prior unsuccessful visit. This time, we had a tool that made sighting and retrieval easier. 4 from 7 today. TFTC Smile
 
22-Oct-10
Found at 17:30 while on a caching trip from Adelaide. Our first cache in Wollongong - yay!. But it was a nano - boo! But it was in the 1st place we looked (fluke) - YAY Smile SL. TFTC.
 
04-Oct-10
Dingo and I placed a new log in here this morning. Happy hunting!

PS. We were pleased to find the cache exactly where we had left it!
 
25-Sep-10
Well this cache took two visits. One with the GPS to determine the location and then another to return with appropriate tools to make an easy find. I was pretty quick and there were no muggles around on a Saturday morning. Logged as "FF" to save space.

A good hide in a busy area.

Log needs replacing. 1 spot left!

Found with ^B^ ! Clever little fingers
 
14-Sep-10
Found it!
It could have been my first one. As I work here, I did a search the other day in the night, but missed the last corner.
Today went again with Anamatronix, on a sunny beautiful afternoon, and ta-da, there it is!
Nice hide.
TFTC~
 
22-Aug-10
After the called off search up the road and those Toot Toot muggles who made searching impossible
it was good to have no one around here.I found it by poking my big finger in the likely spots and
so hard to get out but persistence and patience paid off....TFTC...SmileSmile
 
05-Aug-10
I'm 98% sure I know where this cache should be, but it seems to have been washed away? Is that possible for it's location? First geocache we tried to find, as we work on campus but disppointed we couldn't seme to locate it.
 
04-Jul-10
Found the spot last week but was not sticking my fingers where the sun don't shine so returned with glove and a recently aquired telescopic optically reversed illumination reflection device, much the same as Black and White use and the trophy was mine in seconds. Getting it out was more difficult than the find.

Found quite late, looking dodgy as always. Got sprung my a security guard, but luckily he knew what it was; "Don't you need a GPS for that?"

Thanks for the cache, had a good idea where it was and voila!
 
24-Jun-10
Had to be innovative, but found it eventually, Thanks
 
17-Jun-10
Thought I would have a go at this one before a workout. Found it and now enjoy my work out. TFTC
 
14-Jun-10
Considering the options this one was found relatively quickly on a nice quiet afternoon.
 
13-Jun-10
Reperio at 1140. Came here last night, but as there was a security guard wandering around near by, I poked at a couple of places before leaving it until tomorrow. Well tomorrow came and I was back here poking and prodding everywhere my fingers would go until the cache was finally revealed. Would love to take a wander through here and see what's on show. Haven't been to one of these places since I was a kid.

Gratias.

678 - 7 for today. Found on 13/06/10 1:35 PM
So many likely locations, lucky its a Sunday and noone around. After a thorough search the little bugger revealed itself. TNSLLN
 
12-Jun-10
A quick find. There are some very impressive buildings going up here.
 
06-Jun-10
thank you kind sir for the log. found it with Hoschke118 & jit1bv. halfway through, we were stopped in our tracks by an authority muggle...don't you hate muggles!? fortunately he was not actually a muggle, and knew all about geocaching...amazingly he helped us and we found it together..we suggested he should make his own account! lol! thanks for the cache!

This was toadmiester7's second visit but now had the added caching power myself and caching master Woody Figtree. Toadmiester7 found it near where he thought it was before, but hadn't checked deep enough.

Came with Toadmeister and Ace to make a quick find here. Toadmeister already had a DNF so it was only fitting he came up with the goods this time. Thanks HCD.
 
06-Jun-10
This was my second visit to this site and today I was with Ace7 and Woodyfigtree. I was explaining how hard it was to find and showing where I had searched. Moving along from where I showed them exploring further possibilities, guess what....? I Found it. We are not sure if the camera nearby caught our antics, hopefully not. Thanks Hoojar for another good cache
 
17-May-10
found it with a bit of help
 
16-May-10
We couldn't believe how lucky we were, finding this cache easily. Sometimes we are just lucky! TFTC
 
15-May-10
Oooo spiders…
Glad we had the mirror on a stick to see if it was safe to put the finger in.
Very sneaky Hoojar, Chip & Ding.
 
14-May-10
Got this one with a little help, clever hide, thanks.
 
11-May-10
This one took a bit of finding and unfortunately had to use the clue. This then posed the problem of retrieving the cache. Had to return to the Geomobile to get a cache retrieval tool. Once the log was signed, the cache was put back in such a manner that a retrieval took should not be necessary for the next to find. TFTC SL
 
08-May-10
Well this was found a lot quicker than one would expect out of all the possibilities what s the chances of Jake finding it first go? What was in that creek water earlier. Oh well thanks for the cache
 
08-May-10
After circling GZ, a likely spot was investigated, and lo, there it was.
Thanks for the fun I had here.
 
06-May-10
Well I can now see where one of the little caches Hoojar was after ended up.

This one proved to be a little tricky with quite a number of hiding places. Go there in the end. TFTC!
 
05-May-10
Found this one at 7.45am but found I didn't have a pen on me so returned at 7.15pm to sign the log.

Glad to be at the start of the list of log entries Razz
 
05-May-10
Having had so much trouble finding a nano yesterday(and still haven´t found it!) this one reveiled its self within a minute. Maybe because I had a better idea where to look for this one? I love to come to the nearby feature with the kids!

Does it count that I had a dream about finding this one and fighting off uni students waiting for the bus? Smile
Or is that just weird.

It's on my hit list.
 
04-May-10
Too easy, loved it, thank you.
 
03-May-10
I have watched Hoojar scoping out this area for so long and the cameras proved to be a problem. But we got there in the end Smile
 
02-May-10
Not an FTF for me but I was there with the cacher who can claim the honours. We were both surprised to see that the closest cache to the picnic was unfound till our late arrival.
Thanks
 
02-May-10
Woohoo a very unexpected FTF on the way home from the 10th anniversary event.
I was lucky enough to make the discovery just as the Rat turned up and started hunting around.
TFTC and for the great event!
