Out on a cache cleanup run and time to archive this one as it has been lost in the hide.
 
20-Sep-13
Quick comfort stop and unfortunately a lot of muggles looking at me strangely so I had to stop looking!
 
07-Sep-13
This took a while to find as there were a few muggles about.
Finally got a break in the muggle traffic and soon had it signed and back in its hide.
Nice one!!

After stopping at the nearby Christmas shop time for Dad to knock over a cache and after a minute it was spotted. TFTC!
 
16-Jul-13
TFTC! Very clever hide! Took 3 of us searching and dodging muggles about 20 mins to find.
 
11-Jul-13
This was my second attempt and this time I had help. We searched and searched, but neither of us could find it. It didn't help that both of our GPSs had us out on the lawn. Our only DNF today.
 
11-Jul-13
We searched long and hard for this, but had to log a DNF.

Stopped for lunch at Bredbo pub. Thanks.

Log is nearly full. Room for about 6 more entries I think.
 
02-Jul-13
We tried to wait for muggles in nearby carpark to leave and in the end used other tactics to make the grab . Great hide, thanks
 
27-Jun-13
Decided to make my trip from Sydney to Jindabyne more interesting by stopping by to find caches. Funnily enough, I I accomplished these all in ugg boots.. hehe.

Had a little bit of trouble at first but then spotted the sneaky piece.. muggles came to relieve themselves shortly after I found it.
 
19-Apr-13
Found easily on way to Canberra for the day, no muggles around which made it easy. Thanks Black Bunny
 
17-Apr-13

27-Dec-12
Tricky. Must have keen eyes.
 
21-Dec-12
Our second go at this as the first effort was thwarted by a group of workmen who took up temporary residence in the BBQ area. Soon found today after a few muggle interuptions. The police were setting up a breathalyser station to catch drivers as we departed.

Interesting for the vertically challenged and even more interesting on market day. Returned when it was quiet. TFTC
 
26-Nov-12
Had to come back as markets and kids made this impossible. I knew I should have grown taller! TFTC
 
21-Nov-12
Took a while to locate this one. We had to avoid a lurking muggle. Found with the help of Wickedfysh. TFTC
 
20-Nov-12
A little reach, and had it in hand. TFTH. SL.
 
13-Nov-12
Difficult to find and lots of people stopping for a pee. Fun though.
 
02-Nov-12
A great cache and worthy of a favorite. TYFTC. A high muggle area.
 
11-Oct-12
1291. Grabbed this one on my return trip after a few days off in Mallacoota. After some discussions with previous finders and the CO, this time it was gathered promptly and without the GPSr. Another one off the DNF list. TFTC.
 
10-Oct-12
Very,Very Sshneaky!
I'm impressed by this one, but I'm new to this. I was sitting here at the table at 10pm, I ate some food then thought I may as well see if there's any caches in town and wasn't expecting one to be 7 metres away.
Thanks for making me Smile!!
 
10-Oct-12
A sneaky little find, TFTC
 
24-Sep-12
After discussion of which corner at the back we finaly found the cache. Very tricky

TFTC what a great location. Thanks for taking us to such a beautiful place.
Thank you for making caching more interesting by placing this cache.

Nice one, may steal this idea Wink TFTC

Impossible without hint! Thanks for the cache.

Found on way home from perisher
 
27-Jul-12
We looked around here for what seemed like forever. I would have thought that with two pairs of eyes it would have been easily located. Will have to come back and have a fresh look. Thanks BB for the series.

Found it! Perfect spot for kids, but needed the hint! TFTC
 
23-May-12
whilst traveling from Sydney via Goulburn to Cooma. Enjoyed the trip, lovely autumn day and a lot of nice and interesting spots which I would't have discover without Geocaching.
 
05-May-12
Today was the day we decided to head south and collect some smileys in Cooma and surrounds.
Quick grab, locals were sitting in the car. Was grateful that the trees had not lost it leaves as yet it provided the cover required.
TFTC and the series
 
29-Apr-12
Stopped initially for a toilet break, so while I was busy dark pixie checked to see if there were any caches. There was and she startewd looking. Eventually I joined in the search and after reading the description I managed to find it pretty quickly. TFTC
 
28-Apr-12
TaurusSix and I pulled up and saw people milling around the area. So we went and had breakfast instead. Came back and found the cache easily.
 
28-Apr-12
Very tricky hide, but the clue gives it away..

On day twelve of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland we left Yass early in the morning, travelled through the ACT and south-eastern New South Wales and arrived at Lakes Entrance as the sun set. Although we had found many caches along the route on our way north, we left a few for the return journey. It was heavily overcast when we left Yass but the weather improved steadily and from lunch time onwards, we enjoyed clear blue skies.

We had attempted to search for this cache as we headed into Canberra last Sunday but had to abandon our efforts because of many muggles in the adjacent hall, with some of them starting to show an interest in what we were doing. We returned today to find the area deserted - tahnk goodness. We debated where the cache owner had been standing when the clue was devised and our GPS did not help to decide the argument. We searched for about 10 minutes until something was noticed. Careful manipulation resulted in the cache being retrieved. Thanks for another great cache Black Bunny.
 
25-Apr-12
Will have to come back for this one. I'm sure it was right in front of us!!!!!
 
25-Apr-12
Woo-hooo... finally found after a DNF 18months ago... being a search en route to Cooma and en route back both of which previously returned nil results. Today I had the advantage of a previous finder with me who could confirm whether I was 'hot' or 'cold'. Even when the correct spot was confirmed I failed to see what had (I suspect) been in front of my eyes all along. In fact I stared at it a bit but the area was generally spider-infested and I rather suspected that what I was looking at was just more spider bits. I really wasn't all that convinced that I should look at it closer. Eventually (and with many looks of amazement from Doppelfrog who probably couldn't believe I was still missing it) I realised I needed to actually touch it. And YAY - it WASN'T a spider! Razz Nice to be able to knock this one off the 'to-do' list now.
 
25-Apr-12
Looked around here for what seemed like forever. Read the hint over and over. Looked and probed but nothing. Maybe I need a hot and cold instructor as well. Left very frustrated, but hey, Ill come back more determined. So if you see someone in a swag camping nearby, say hi, and you will know I havent found it yet.
 
12-Apr-12
Driving from Canberra down to Merimbula on a sunny day.
Quick find then as we were about to return the cache along came some serious elderly picnickers with loads of food. Thought about doing a little British begging but opted to drive on to a pancake house.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #6942

Found this cache while we were stopped for lunch on our way to Thredbo. Great spot to stop for a rest. Loved the wind break on the picnic tables. Everything was clean and pleasant.
TFTC
 
10-Mar-12
=) This is a cache worthy of a favourite point, great roadside stop over, clean toilets, apples growing and begging to be picked and a really well executed geocache hide, if only they were all like this... TFTC =)
 
10-Mar-12
16 of 50 caches found today on a mission with geo-bro ayepeacee, found at 1100h. This was supposed to be a cache for the trip home, but zita was busting for the bathroom so we had to stop. We figured we might as well grab this one now and we were glad we did, because it would have been a lot harder in the dark. A very nice hide which ayepeacee luckily spotted pretty quickly. We recommend this rest stop - the bathrooms are really clean. Favourite point - TNLNSL, TFTC!! Smile

6th of 3409th total find at 07:33

On the spur of the moment, being awake at 04:00, we decided to do a cache run from Cooma to the outer suburbs of Canberra. After suffering "Cabin Fever" for the last few days, as we have been forced to stay indoors because of the rain, it was a really welcome change to get outdoors and enjoy the fine weather.

The cache container is guarded bu a bug, fat, black spider, so future searchers should be careful where they place their fingers.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Black Bunny for the cache

There were scouts cooking in the car park, but no one was around. I was happy to see the tell here so I did not not have to hang around too long. That was good, as some drivers headed over to the shed as I climbed back in the car. Thanks.

Finally I was here when there was no muggles in residence. Quite a few wandered between the carpark and the toilets, but I had GZ to myself. Found with Daedalos on our caching holiday.

Thanks BB
 
29-Jan-12
Last one on my return trip from the coast and I DNF'd this on the outbound trip due to a muggle pretty much right next to the GZ but this time the coast was clear and a quick "stretch" and gotcha
thanks BB for the CCC series , I've got a few more to do another visit.
 
Australia Day caching road trip to Cooma. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!
 
23-Jan-12
This was our first geocache stop for the return trip (none were done on the way to cooma, though, as we had the miniature raspberries with us) and we pored over this one for a ridiculous amount of time. I have no idea why I didn't see it, I really mustn't have had my geocaching eyes on for the day yet. I think I became distracted by the hint, as those sorts of directions are all relative... Raspberry vinegar maded the find, not long before we were bound to give up. Tftc. Hey, there's a "maintenance required" icon on this that could be removed ... The cache is in good order with plenty of room.
 
23-Jan-12
Well Fore! And I almost gave up on this one. A very good hide and easy to miss. You don't want to be arachnophobic, I have never seen so many widow spiders in one spot! The hint is good but you need your caching eyes on!

Thanks Black Bunny.

Very tricky! We almost gave up, but spotted it on one last look. TFTC Smile
 
02-Jan-12
Had to wait until a couple of muggle cars moved on.
Thanks Black Bunny
 
01-Jan-12
Nice easy find for the new year thanks
Found on our way back from Thredbo and after hiking up Mt Kosciusco, this was a relief to not have to climb anywhere and only a short but painful (with tired legs and aching knees) walk from the car. Edited as log sent From iPhone with wrong date.

Haven't found a micro in a while and was about to give up, when I spotted it. Right in front of me the entire time!
 
11-Nov-11
Didn't have much time, but it was free from muggles, so we thought we'd have a go, no luck this time, will try again.
 
19-Oct-11
On my way home to QLD after attending the MotoGP when I stopped to get this one. Took a while to find this one with all the muggles about. SL TFTC

Found on the way to the snow, before a pancake stop. Searched with geokids for a while with no luck, then realised I thought the side was the back. Realised the error, checked the right area and bingo!

What a tricky hide! I was just about to give up, after following up on the clue. but one last look revealed the well-hidden cache, just in time to avoid a muggle!

03-Aug-11
After multiple CNLF's (Could Not Look For) due to stupid muggles having a rest at the said location,I was pleased when I drove past today to see no one there. A quick find was made, however the replacement was interupted by a dog walker of all things!!
 
17-Jul-11
New cache in place, so good to go.

Please take care when retrieving and replacing cache.
 
14-Jul-11
We will get down this way to replace the lost cache when a new cache container arrives.

Found it, unfortunately hook slipped out of my fingers and felt down. Cache not reachable anymore. Sorry
