With khanman47 and NacSpaceman who have found this before. Definitely not there anymore.
Another easy one after the GPS settled down. Ingesting reading the information board nearby.
I took a short stroll up the hill from the bike track today
Nice views of the river from up here
No nice views of an easy to find cache
I carefully poked the scenery for a good 10 minutes and found the sneaky little blighter
TFTC !!

What a little bugger. Its not a tricky hide but the gps struggles in this spot and there is so many places it could be that you just have to keep plugging away until you find it. It took us about 20 minutes. Tftc.
[green]Found #4059 @ 3.33pm[/green]...
Today I explored Wodonga and surrounds using geocaching as a guide...
Fantastic day, pleasant walks & the added bonus of collected a few caches too...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Coruze...

Stopped off to attempt this one on our way back down from the Monument. The coordinates were a little out but a good search around the adjoining terrain enabled the 1st Lady to find the prize. TFTC and the great sunset views.
Found this one early this morning just in time before the muggles came from every direction riding bikes etc.
Cute nifty cammo.
There is a nice big newish looking table and chairs at the top of the hill with a great view, would be a nice place to stop with a cool drink on a sunny day.
The log needs replacing as its full.
I had to write my name on the bottom of the back of the log.

Tell him he's dreaming- "don't screw it up" isn't a hint but a description of the Micro
Took a little bit of a search but Mackenzie clan were successful in the end. TFTC
We found this cache a little easier after reading a previous log. Found it 7m away with our GPS. TFTC
Hooray - finally managed to find this little blighter. Nice concealment. TFTC Coruze. [^]

A sneaky little hide! Found while completing a nearby puzzle cache with JaminAppleford. TFTC
Came here late the other night with 5 others couldn't find, turned up today with dtremain57 and found within a minute
Found after second visit! Took a bit of time and "Don't screw it up" is no help at all:)
I was admiring a pretty flower at the co-ordinates while VonEdward found the cache 7m away.
A look around with ElijahPijah, no results. Frustrating. Ditched the heat for a late lunch at the Proprietor and a swim in the Murray:)
Finally found it!!!
We have voted this the most frustrating cache in Albury. It shouldn't have been that hard.
The thing is, it is quite a simple hide. Just so long as you read the clues, maintenance logs, and don't overthink it too much as we did.
So after 8 visits and at least a couple of hours seaching and travelling to this cache we are finally putting this cache to rest. (The geokids were certainly over geodad's persistance in trying to get this one.)
So visits 1-2 were wasted as the cache had been muggled. Vists 3-4 were spent searching high, low and over a huge radius from GZ. Visit 5 was after the area had been wippersnipped and was easy to search. Visit 6 was after finding another of Coruze's in Beachworth that gave us an idea about how it might have been placed. Still no joy. Visit 7 was after the recent spate of finds, and with the clues of it being off and north, and with some help from wackyweedos we were finally able to find. Just to round of the frustration of this cache. Visit 8 was with a pen so we could sign the log.
Giving this a favourite for how much time we spent searching for this one, and attaching the co-ordinates where we found. Basically 7m from GZ.

Finally, the coordinates are a bit off, we estimated about 7 metres north of the coordinates.
Finally, after being disappointed with long searches , and logs that showed a lot of our searches were in vain as it was not there we got it today, bit of an anticlimax, we think 7 m north of the gps location
Woohoo. We can finally log that we FOUND IT TOO!!! Had it on our watch list after failing to find it after 2 or 3 thorough searches before & after it had been replaced. Noticed jamin appleford found it today so thought we'd have another crack! This time i didnt even turn the gps on, walked to our previous search sites & something looked out of place! JACKPOT!! Very happily signed this log!! TFT (very frustrating) Cache!
FOUND IT!!
This has been a pest cache for me as I have looked here a few times and widened my search with no luck. Thanks to a clue from the CO I had a more focused search today and found the little bugger (12m west from where my GPS was telling me). A fairly easy find really, hidden in a rather traditional manor, it was just difficult because I hadn't been looking in the right area.
Tftc Coruze (and the support ;-D)

Jumpy GPS here, had me between the long grass and the trees.
Will return with backup when I've got more time.

Have had three more tries at trying to find this one since it was recently replaced and still no luck. Hoping the wiper snipper cleanup that looks to have taken place recently didn't take it out.
With the new container placed we thought we'd give this one another try. Had a really good look with geoson where my compass was pointing me but no luck again. No idea what we were looking for. Is the hint still appropriate for the new container?
Due to the replacement of the cache we advise that it is still a micro but the container is different. The hint will be updated to reflect the new container.
This cache has been replaced at the same coordinates but with a different container making it a much easier find. All good to go now
After the couple of dnf's and an email from a previous finder, we checked this one and it is gone
Sorry to those who have used their time amd effort on this one, but we will get it back up and running as soon as we can.

Had been searching for a while when cristabel turned up for another look - more eyes.... Still no luck even with a greater search outside the coords! Plenty of great spots for hides amongst the ruins but not this one . CO may need to check it still exists?
Looked for 15min or so, but could not locate it The location was very nice and quiet, by a cold foggy morning... Too bad I won't be back here in the foreseeable future. TFTC!
Had been here before a while back but time had beaten us with this one and as we passed here again today we had more time (and eyes) to search. There was alot of circling around and around with plenty of close examination of the local flora. In the end I was lucky enough to spot something that caught my eye and aha! there it was. Worth a fave from me for being a right b@*#ard of a hide. Thanks Coruze for the cache, very sneaky indeed.
We spent quite a while looking here, so much so the kids got bored and started their own entertainment while we searched on. After much to-ing and fro-ing we were about to give up when the call of 'found it' came. What a relief! Thanks for the cache and the hunt.
This was our second attempt at this but at least now the was green grass and no fear of long slithery things, like last time we took a look. We looked in what appeared to be the obvious spot, by all the tell tale signs and where the gps was pointing us but to no avail. It took much looking with Moosetash and finally Happy pant came up with the goods, a few meters from where we were pointed to search. TFTC Coruze.
After attending the Myriads and Milestone event, we headed out with Team Crackers to find some more local caches.
Thanks Coruze,

After having a great time at the Myriads & Mysteries event we headed off with The Coffees to find a few local caches before catching up with a few of the group for dinner.
We pulled up in the car park and headed off towards gz where we started our search. Unfortunately we came up empty handed so decoded the hint and read a few previous logs. We the resorted to the PAF option that put us on the right track and then a few minutes later we finally had the cache in hand.
This was the closest one that we have had to a DNF all day.
Thanks coruze for the cache and for a great hide.

DNF for us on a warm afternoon. Looked in obvious spots and even had an idea about what the clue eluded to but still no luck. Has not been any logs on this for a while but seems to be some well worn paths through the grass.
Here from Canada and doing some caching on our travels. We almost gave up on this one but at the last minute came up with the find!
Very clever hide! Thanks for putting so much thought into this Coruze!

Nice day for a bushwalk. We quickly had cache in hand. Clever camo.
TFTC!
P.S. Sorry for the late log.

Found while in the area with Anderka Ywurry and geochild. Last ditch attempt to do some caches before we have to go home after attending the event the day before. Nice hide was pretty easy as I have some of these hides. TFTC
Our second attempt at this one and success this time. The grass has certainly taken over the path and surrounding area - had to watch out for slithery things - happy to say none were encountered. Cache container seems to be OK with its bluetack lid. #1312 Out and about with BettyBoo and Robmc after the AWGC event in Wodonga. TFTC Coruze - a sneaky hide and container. Glad to finally cross this one off our list of 'to do's'.
A lovely day to be out and about. Introduced some friends to geocaching. Very clever hide. TFTC
My first and only other attempt at this one was back my first 100 and in the middle of the night. Today I walked right up to it. I did, however, break it when I popped the lid open, the hinge bit broke and the lid disappeared into the long grass. I chocked it shut with a large wad of blu-tack, but with my apologies, the CO will need to repair it again.
TFTC!
TFTC!
Decided to check this on while in the area......lucky! It had been removed from it's hidy hole. Lucky we had another in the car. All good to go. Enjoy!
Nice quick find in a place I used to visit when I was a kid.
