Logs
I'd seen this archived cache as a find in someone else's log list and realised that it was probably still there. Sure enough, there it was, but I horrified my daughter HermioneGranger12 in appearing to stroll over to ransack a homeless person's things as we walked out of the cinema, having just seen the mockingjay. I've taken the cache home to sign the (full) log and am uncertain whether to replace it or to resurrect it elsewhere. I'm happy to be guided by the CO. It took a while to find the cache listing again - thanks, Bells Angels, I used you as a local cacher of some duration to get it from your log list. Thanks, rms!

No response from the cache owner.

Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers

Gps wasn't much help here but the hint made it an easy one.
Log book full so I was unable to sign.

I had to wait for guy to leave as he was sitting at GZ reading a book, so I sat further away to read as well. Then it was a quick find, thanks to the excellent hint, which is a good thing to avoid attracting attention as it is a busy spot. Now the logbook...people complain that logbooks are full as they often take a lot of space writing their logs, but this time it is really full, so I took a photo instead..
Excellent double murals, lot of history there, thanks RMS!

Hint made it easy but I'm still new to this so heaps of fun. Found with Gibzilla
Haha
Nice spot
Searched it so long and now I found this small one
Reading the hint helps

This is really the first time I've ever found this spot muggle free during the day. Capitalized on the hint and made a quick find. TFTC
Another great mural to see in the main street this time. Muggles close by but an excellent hint meant no prolonged search to attract attention. Quickly spotted and easily retrieved without alerting anyone. The logbook is full and even I couldn't squeeze another name in there, so I've taken a photo as "proof of life" which I will consider uploading when I get back to my hotel (wherever that is...as I'm not even sure where I am at the moment lol).

I don't carry spare logs for these so making a maintenance log instead. Paper is chockers, anyone making a mark writes over another (which is somewhat appropriate given the propensity of artists to cover other works....
Wonderful wall art, looked great in the morning sun. The log is chockers, made a small mark anyway. Thanks.
I was really fortunate last year to visit the Civil Rights Museum when I was exploring the south of the USA. I loved the mural and took some photos of the area. Since flying in at 3pm, I have had a very enjoyable walk to Newtown and back. Thanks for the cache.
Found with Llama_boy and googlejohn316. Credit to Llama_boy. Could not log name due to lack of space.
Boom. Roasted.

After dinner walk in Newtown-grabbed quick geo with very specific hint. Log book full though! TFTC.
Found with Kaosgirlee! Out at dinner close by so quickly snuck off for this one! Had no pen so we left a single leaf! Nice lil crystal in there too, but we didn't take it. Nice log book! Tftc!!
Found this one a while back. Was driving through the area on our way back to Canberra and this came up as an unfound, but it was one that we picked up a few months back.
Logging as a "found but forgotten to log online".
TFTC. Found with Tomiquid and Mehitabelcat.

After a pleasant dinner with friends at a nearby restaurant, I wandered over to this cache. At 8:45pm there were plenty of muggles but also plenty of opportunities to grab the cache.
Had no difficulty locating & grabbing it, and despite a few recent logs, no problem opening the cache.
Log is full, though, so squeezed myself in.
Great murals, very inspiring.

Long delayed logging, signed as robd. Nice mural if you're ever in Washington DC, there is a great series of murals caches. TFTC.
Found it but wouldn't open so put it back. Muggles everywhere kinda made it a nightmare.
Lots of muffles, some sort of fair was on. Found it with no trouble, couldn't open it though! So find sign
Found with Jason TFTC!

This one we had to come back for. It was a challenge to find with all the muggles but we managed. Bekhes are doing well
TFTC, great cache, quite easy to find but it proved
A challenge to do it with out being muggled XD

Easy to find but high muggle activity caused problems
And suspicion BE CAREFUL I was almost caught

Another spot I had to visit today, or at least walk past. I had a look and I could see the cache on the higher level. Unfortunately someone had set up a stall out the front so I figured even with the milk crates available retrieval might have been a bit too unstealthy at about 11:30 this morning. Still, I know where it is if I am ever back there when it's quiet. Maybe I should have got the ladder off the car and the hivis vest of stealth and nobody would have looked twice.
Visited at 11.15pm. Spotted a place that matched the hint. Looked and felt around the lower option but didn't detect the cache. Unfortunately, couldn't reach the upper option.
It didn't help that, at the time of searching, I thought I was looking for a nano but rereading the profile, I see that it may not necessarily have been the case.

Good find, thanks for the cache
The log is full and needs replacing.
I added a small paper strip for any finding between now and then

Found it with the help of a previous persons note as the co ordinates are off. Also had no pen, spewing.
Nice cache. Clue helps but just remember the cache is on the north side of King St not on the south side where the co-ordinates seem to point you to. Did not sign log as it's full. Took a photo of it though. TFTC.
Great mural explained to geokid importance of message great clue easy find between muggles. Tftc
Not kidding about super-high muggle factor. Luckily, I arrived by bike and mucking around with cycling paraphrenalia provided good cover from suspicion.

Easy find with hint, as long as you manage to visit during one of those times when the area is free.
Since I've spent holidays here in Australia I always came to Newtown. It has such a good ambience. Of course I knew this painting before and this very very well known sentence of Martin Luther King. When you see it, dont you have also goose skin because of the impact of this sentence? Have you? I have. And Caches should bring people to such places. Thank you. Greetings from Switzerland

TFTC,
Back in the area looking for another cache to build the continual days. GPS placed us about 7m from GZ but the hint provided a find.
Visited a group of trackables helping me to learn about these special spots.

When I first started caching I had this appalling record. None from 7; YES Zero from 7!. This was one of them!
My iphone gps was really bad and I didn't know what to look for. Let alone find a nano!
I think I was across the road at the bank and it made no sense.
Today I decided to find this one that has been on my closest to homes for 2 years now. Found quickly.

Found it. Replaced in lower spot for easier retrieval.
Must come back with pen to sign log.

4/12/12 12:56 PM. Cache #278. Current streak: 86 days. After a DNF at Victoria's Secret this morning, I needed one for today so tried Hand of Friendship. Again no luck (seriously, when are there NOT winos sitting in it!). Argh! So I came here and it was an easy spot. Someone had put it up on the OUTSIDE of the high bracket (thank you nearby milk crates); I returned it to where I thought intended (inside, lower). SL (only "KRS" fits). TFTC!
I like a big mural, so I like this spot. I wouldn't have found it without the help of the clue, so thank you for providing it and for showing me this location.
This was the first cache I attempted solo, back in March, which was unsuccessful even when I spent roughly .5 hrs looking for it. This time round took about 30 secs! Thanks for the cache - so gratifying to find one that You couldn't before due to inexperience!
Easier than I was expecting actually... Seemed to be there at the perfect time re muggles! TFTC!
I made this harder than it needed to be but got there. People everywhere at the restaurants of which I partook afterwards. Thanks.
First cache of the nights. After having dinner at Newtown as seeing as we had a good car spot we decided to do a few caches around the area on foot. After looking at looking around the bottom bracket for awhile we looked up and there is was.
