We think this one has been tampered with as we found a lid with tape but not the canister.
Hi it looks like this was tampered with we round the lid of a cannister with some tape on it without the bottom.
As I am no longer being as active as I once was this is now being archived as it's been muggled
Thanks for the cache rehikemike. The GeoGSP and I were out and about today on a cool and grey autumn day - perfect for caching as not many muggles about. This was a quick park and grab - wish I'd read the previous logs as the logsheet needs replacing.
Hi rehikemike a nice new log to record our find thank you. Nice little area here and all good at GZ
Found this cache and as others have said the log is a bit water damage and tricky to sign but it was still a fun find. Thanks
Found very easily. The container is sealed. But the paper inside it is wet and in very poor condition, would suggest replacing as others have said.
Found Cache in plain site and in bad condition couldn't sign log due to it being very wet
Please delete if not allowed, I took a photo as I couldn’t write in the log due to being wet.
Actually found two in this location - there’s an older one that’s quite damaged located directly below a newer one.
A quick find while out walking Geodog. No Muggles about on this quiet Sunday. Tftc MattyH from Tassie
Not 100% sure, but pretty sure we found it. There was no paper so we had to write on a leaf.
I remember spotting this one years ago when it was a magnetic under a post box. Then the post box was upgraded and the cache relocated. Today I came back to make fairly easy and quick find. TFTC
Took a quick drive tonight to grab a cache (to keep filling in missing days on our calendar grid), and this one fit the bill. Managed to pull up at gz and jump out of the car for a quick find. TFTC
This was an odd one, goose has already found it but was happy and kind enough to pull over right next to ground zero so I could grab it.
But upon opening the container I found it was bare, so i get some paper out of my bag and cut a page to the correct size, add my name and put it in a shape to fit the opening.
Thanks for the cache.

Found this cache while out walking my dogs. I had to be very sneaky with this one as there were people everywhere. TFTC
Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Now staying in Campania but with a planned trip to Launceston tomorrow we had to do head to Kingston today for a Gnomescapade [:X]
We managed to find your cache while here.
Indeed siriusly surprised this cache is still sitting out there waiting to be found. Nice.

Good cache, reasonably quick find. In a fairly quiet area.
Found with TazScout and NinjaWolf.

Had to drop a car in at Huntingfield this morning, so decided a stroll into Kingston would pass by various caches. This is 1 of 6 for the morning. Sirius was the 1st Fleet's flagship, and I'm a direct descendant of a 1st Fleet convict, so vaguely connected with this cache! I've not been on the "Coffee Trail" before, and this was only a slight deviation; so thanks for bringing me here.

Found on a walk with the doggy today. Took a nice break in the shade in the park while signing the log. TFTC
Had tried for this cache when it had gone walk-about. Noticed today that it was back in action so pulled over for a quick find.

Happy to finally be able to log this one since this cache seems to have had a chequered history of being muggled. Was to be the first of a few for the day but we had to abort after this find for medical reasons. TFTC
Called past after work as I saw this one has been replaced.
A quick suburban find, I soon had the fresh log signed and was on my way home.
Thanks for replacing this one rehikemike! Nice to turn this one into a smiley

Hey rehikemike, can you please check this one. Had a pretty good look on Friday and couldn't find it, it also hasn't been found in quite some time. Cheers, Jac.

A nice quick find on the way down to Margate and Snug. Struggled to find parking but soon found a spot. TFTC.
Gotcha !!! TFTC My Great great grandfather Henry Hacking was the quartermaster on the Sirius when it travelled to Sydney Cove with the First Fleet. So for this ..A favourite from me.
Sue located this fairly quickly. We moved away to sign the log because several people were walking along the footpath opposite, probably on their lunch break. It was then that we spotted a woman on a balcony behind us, but Peter provided cover while Sue replaced the container. The log was a little damp. TFTC rehikemike
Two visits quite close together were needed to get the caches in the Peter Murrell Reserve, mainly because of time constraints. On the first occasion (25 Sept) we located one cache but mucked up on another. This was rectified on the latest trip which was on a quite warm day when we left the car near the dam and walked to the southern end. In a straight line between caches it was just under 2k but by track some 2.5k, plus of course the return walk. Whist driving back we decided to stop for the Sirius cache.

Muggle area. We had to wait awhile before the coast was clear before smiley flew in and grabbed the cache. The log was a bit damp but was able to sign. TFTC.
Day 7 of 31 Days of Geocaching.
Woohoo! 7 days in a row finding a cache! This one was just a short drive from home and once I got to GZ I almost immediately spied where the cache would be - this streak is improving my geocaching eyes! Log book is damp but managed to sign it. Must have picked a good time of day (late morning) as the area was very quiet, only one car drove past while I was there. TFTC!

Crikey! No chance of much stealth on this one, extreme or otherwise. Siriusly. Quiet community? Just when you find a gap in the traffic coming one way, sure enough there's cars coming the other. Or from over there. Or here. Took us longer waiting to extract & replace the container than it did walking from the car & back. Must have timed our visit to this one siriusly wrong.
Stopped off, reached in, found some snails, wrote on the wet log and away we left!
A nice quick find as there was not a muggle to be seen. After dusting the snails off the container we extracted the log and left our mark of attendance, TNLN, TFTC
Glad to have an easy one after unsuccessful find with nearby multi. I was sick of Caffiene and was glad to take things more seriously.
Found easily... No muggles in sight
Log is a bit damp and the snails have taken a liking to the container!
