I dont think this cache is going back up since the gardeners take it away every 3 months.
This cache has been MUGGLED! I went to check the cache but all I found was the damaged logbook. Sorry I couldn't check the cache earlier because I was on a six week holiday in Europe. I will try to put the cache back up and running ASAP.
Well, the Knights have beaten us as they didn't want to reveal the location of the cache here today. I fear when we return we may have to bring ... a herring.

Wow, lots of stuff in that cache. There were a lot of muggles around so I had to wait to put it back.

Although those who hear it seldom live to tell the tale - here it is! Oh, the palpable horror and fear!
I suppose I wasn't expecting it to be hidden the way it was - hidden like this is always unexpected for me - so I did spend an inordinate amount of time looking for Roger the Shrubber. Once found it was indeed well endowed with goodies. I took a small Mario charm and placed in a Mario keyring.
All in all it didn't affect me. It was a good walk and I'm glad I found it. Even if it did take sometime. Now I'm over it.
Now I have to find the Knights who say "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing Zow Zing!" TFTC.

Had a short search to find this one as my GPS didn't seem to like the cover. New exactly the area it would be in though. Nicely stocked container, but I don't tend to do swaps unless the 3yo is with me.
Gee its pouring here but nothing stop us..
Lucky Crank1 brought two umbrella.
Lovely walk in the rain.

This is the second Knights of Ni cache that I have found, the other was in Adelaide some 4 or 5 years ago.
I did not need the clue to know where you have hidden this.
There could only be one place
A bold hide but hopefully not too many muggles scrounge around in here.
TNLN despite a well filled container.
Thanks

A beautiful day for geocaching with Team BAPHA and new geo-dog Sophie. This was an easy find after a nice walk through the park. Dropped off Australia GeoGuitar Geocoin - it has now made it to Australia and begins its Aussie cache adventure!
Team BAPHA found this before it was decommissioned. Oops! Forgot to log it a long time ago. Surprisingly easy to find, and maybe that's why it's now offline.

New to the official world of caching but have been involved since 17th of April 2009 (my first cache find). But have only just gotten a log name. Time to log all the wonderful caches that I have been finding since I have been caching with The Empire. My name in the log book is H.
Another great day of caching. Another great day at lovely locations.

First of three found a cold Melbourne day. I was introducing somebody new to caching and let her handle the GPSer to approach Ground Zero. Once there, a bit of searching had the cache in hand, and the log signed. Nice sized cache, which I always appreciate.
A quick find at 2:30pm. Dodged all the learner drivers to get a car park not that far from GZ.

Bravely bold Sir Riddell rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Riddell. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Riddell. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken..
Ok...., I found the cache. Then I met this little knight in the shrubbery and I asked him what I should do next. And he informed me that,
“First you must find... another shrubbery! (dramatic chord) Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path! A path!") Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!”
On a historical note:
The Knights of Ni were formed in 927. They are on a quest to find The Great and Almighty Shrubbery, and consider this journey the meaning of their lives. Some experts say that The Great and Almighty Shrubbery is in fact the same burning bush that Moses talked to in the Bible.
Currently, the group is on the verge of having a schism because some of the members believe the meaning of life is in fact 42, and still others believe it to be The Great and Almighty Breakfast Cereal of Holy Powers Beyond Our Mortal and Completely Naive Understanding. The Knights who say Ni have made many advancements to agriculture such as the method of chopping down trees with herrings. They have also found success in other areas, and it was they who created the first ever Internet Banking system. They are often confused with the Knights of Negro, but in fact they are bitter enemies, as, of course, all English people don't really care. Both groups, however, share the same weakness in the form of a word that they must never hear, though what this word may be remains undiscovered.
He also informed me they are now the Knights who say... "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z'nourrwringmm.

Found while on a short cycling trip along the Maribyrnong River and collected a couple of caches along the way. I strapped the GPS to my handlebars and off I went. An easy find but i've never seen Monty Python so i wasn't sure what the knights of NI were looking for. I'll have to watch it. Took: tape measure. Left: Miniature vase. Thanks for the cache.
I also found the cache a little further SW than the listed coordinates. The container was not quite in the right spot so I put it back where it looked like it was meant to go. A bold hide!
Thanks crazykd359, enjoyed this cache. Found at around 2pm this afternoon. Hadn't seen this type of container used before.
Cache contents are really good and I like the type of log book you have used. Took the geocoin. thanks again.

Found on a cold melb morning at 6:45am. Lots of muggles with 4 legs running around but ignoring us so we were lucky they didn't come for a sniff. Took 1million GC & left Rhein/Nahe GC we picked up from Anaheim California in the Tower of Terror cache!!! Great hide. SL. TFTC. 
Found at 12:05 pm. Discovered on a cool Sat afternoon. Very well hidden, and very waterproof. TNLN SL. Thanks for a great cache! 
What I want to know is where is the white picket fence?
An early morning stroll on the way to the airport saw me detour to this cache.
I have walked (and ridden) the trail here several times so I had a good idea where the aforementioned area was. Not too many dog walkers this early, so it was a quick search.
Thanks, Robmc.

With an hour up my sleeve I wandered down to GZ only to disturb someone walking there dog whom I'm sure thought I was stalking him.
I soon had the cache in hand and signed the log.

We walked in to GZ making clip clip noises with coconut shells. Took about 10 minutes searching until we finally found it, well hidden around 10m south-west of where the GPS was telling us to look. So happy to find a blank logbook. As we were driving out of the carpark we saw two suspicious-looking characters carrying a GPSr, so stopped for a quick chat. Great to meet you kmmndavis, and sorry to beat you to the FTF. TNLN, cheers from Aimee, Piggy, Adele and Peter.

Pipped at the post for a first to find by pwags, though did get to meet the team so that's nice. Took the geocoin and left another
