Could the CO please check this one out. I believe recent development works have seen this one go walkabout. Other logs indicate this too. If I recall there used to be a large sign nearby.

Thanks

[red]Find #1357[/red] Big Grin

I parked the geo mobile right on the side of the road which was easy today but maybe not so much during the week. The co-ords led me to one place but I wasn't convinced. It wasn't until I got around the other side then Bingo Wink I think it's more of a snake hole than a mouse trap but that's the things you do for a smile lol

13-Dec-13
We had pulled up next to this one, and saw that it hadn't been found in some 6 months. As per the last logger, we wondered if the works had destroyed the cache, but a search of the obvious spot with a torch showed the cache was still there! Thanks for bringing us here, a poignant cache after the events of the week.
 
21-Jul-13
Is this still there after all the tree's were removed and the new estate one sign put in?
 
09-Jun-13
Found this one tonight. I needed a daily cache for my project 366 and after not being successfully at some earlier in the day - I headed down this way to look for some caches. I had previously looked for this one with Irontoad unsuccessfully but today it still took a lot of looking including where the cache was before I found it! I was glad it was night and there weren't many passers by to observe my search.

Signed log but didn't swap anything. Thanks for the cache crank1.
 
02-Jun-13
A quick stop on a route around the area to pick up as many caches as we could in a lazy hour or two on a Sunday afternoon.

Was able to get a visual on the container without any blind groping!
 
25-Apr-13
Found at 16:25 - Worked here for 12 years 1972 to 1984 . Many happy memories as a young kid just out of school playing with cars. Was followed by the boys in blue, along the Monash fwy from Warrigul Rd to what is now GZ while I was driving a A9X in full race gear including paint job Cool .
Cache was quickly found as muggle activity low on Public Holiday.

Out with the geokids for a few finds. Nice and easy this one but they wanted me to put my hand in there!
 
20-Feb-13
My father worked here though my childhood (and beyond) so I have many memories of this place,visiting him at work and the social occasions. Security gates used to be not too far from here, and the Social Club and oval up the hill toward the freeway - where the new Masters hardware shop is - and of course the Christmas parties and related events, tickets for ice-cream and soft drinks and lining up to get a present from Santa. TFTC and for bring back some memories.
 
12-Feb-13
Little cautious about sticking my hand in but a nearby stick helped with that. TFTC!
 
22-Jan-13
Found with Doomsdayze and Fm_Smiley Smile
 
22-Jan-13
Found it with Ukrayinka fm smiley and me, totally gotta watch out for that mouse trap :U got a couple funny looks from juggles driving semi trailers.. Dooms
 
Found at noon. On the way past on a work trip, Bendigo to Hallam, return. Easy to find, had to wait a little while to replace due to a steady flow of vehicles leaving the estate. Tftc

Sorry crank1 for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks crank1 for placing this cache.

A quick super recharge across the road and a dash across to the cache.

While motorbike caching we targeted this one Smile being a little fearful and safety minded I was scared to put my hand into the hole with all those wires, but with some heavy handed persuasion from my girlfriend Sharon, fear was no longer an issue and the cache was in hand, dropped off a pathtag for the next finder, pls log it.
 
22-Jun-12
Found it after a little thinking...
Took yellow horse, left smiley face badge
Signed log, thank you Smile

Grabbed this one on my way home. The container was clearly visible as I approached GZ so I added a little cam when I'd finished signing the log. TFTC.
 
19-May-12
Nice and easy while the family were at the trough across the road.
 
14-May-12
Found today at 11:30 while out and about with the Geodog. Parked the car at the Shark and Ray center and off we went walking up the highway. Saw the cache in it's hidey hole but I had to wait for the nearby traffic lights to go green before I could grab it. Very busy area today but the Geodog comes in very handy in these situations! Signed log TNLN Thanks for the cache crank1

Found with Crazy! Nat girl while out bike riding, I had to take my bus in to get serviced at prestige Hino so the bikes were stowed in the cargo hold and brought along for a days riding and caching while we waited for the bus to be ready. We had no trouble on this one.

Returning from another find we had this cache in GPS but no paperwork. Thought we would give it a go and just followed GPS. Took us right to it. Grandson saw it but did not have the nerve to retrieve so it was up to me. Swapped the doctor, doctor joke book for a mini compass... TFTC..
 
01-Mar-12
Another fun find. Had a great day in this area with a number of good discoveries. TFTC
 
22-Feb-12
Found at 2:53 PM GAFF1. Last cache for the day before going back to the SE Private Hospital to see how c-pprass is getting on. We have a cache in Port Macquarie that is hidden in a similar structure, but it is a lot higher up.
Was also very appreciative of the Holden history.
Thanks crank1

Work colleagues went to mcdonalds which I wasn't going too do turned on geocaching app and across the road I went.

Had a couple of hours spare and wanted to stay away from the big shopping centres, so a cache or two was in order. Mama Bear spotted this one quickly, we signed the log then placed Annabel TB within, seems fitting as Anabel on the way to the UK and has now seen some Holden history!!!
