I'm sad to say, this one is definitely gone. The blue buried bucket was at its base.
This one should be obvious once you arrive. I'll try to get out there and check it out soon. Would be a shame to archive this one.
Here from Canada, caching our way across Australia....
Too sneaky for us today!
Thanks anyways Drdroid

Soon as we pulled up I knew what it was ( one just popped up at home the same as this) TFTC although the cache was in good condition not sure it meant to be where it was found ????
Have seen one of these before. not sure it was supposed to be lying in the grass behind all the others though. cache itself is in good condition, though the co might want to look at the placement. Found on a road trip west and south. TFTC
[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Drdroid. We found your cache "Dubbo's Sneakiest 4" at 9:02:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11677.
[Blue]
Today was another nice day for 'caching on our visit to Dubbo.. We started off at a random cache and then navigated by using the "next closest" method to end up logging 6 caches (and DNFing 4).
We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious construction.
Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

This is a very sneaky and very excellent cache hide. Cache is naturally in good condition as being well protected from the elements. Glad we googled the required question before we arrived. TFTC. A fav point from the Chikins of Brisbane
Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.
Today we visited Western Plains Zoo what a great experience. Of course managed a few caches before and after too.

Had to take in the hint for this one to help narrow down GZ. Loved the idea here and thanks for the cache.

After lots of discussion about the amount of wickets by Glen we were correct in our research and quickly located the cache. A very sneaky hide. Found with misschief18, B/dale Bandits and Bentley TB on the way to the Qld Mega

Found with taurus1955 and B/dale bandits. None of us knew the answer to the question, but we had the means to find out before we got to the cache. Loved the camo, so a favourite from me. Left friendship braid and took Christmas brooch. TFTC
Day 3 and cache 7 for the day, We were heading to the Mega doing a road trip with caching along the way. So worked clue out with the help of the smart phone. Taurus1955 did the honors and soon had cache in hand gets a Fav from me loved it. Thanks Drdoid for the hunt.
Great find on the way to Coffs Harbour... Dropped off 2 TB's. TFTC

Arrived at GZ and saw the cheeky sneaky cache (have seen one the same near Bendigo).
Had a smile that soon dropped, we only then read what we needed to come prepared with. Thank goodness for the internet on phones these days though as the info was soon at hand. It didn't seem to work though (maybe Mrs TiedyeSmileys entered it backwards). There was just enough gap though to still remove it and access the cache.

Tftc! It was a tricky one! However I'm not sure if I wrote my name in the log book...to busy fighting of ants! Haha
Was intrigued after reading the description and the hint. All made sense once you reach GZ.

Today we explored Dubbo and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.
Enjoued the hide, well done!
Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

A very nicely set up cache, it's great to see some thought go into a good hide every once in a while. Took tb's. Tftc.
Found with gangstella. Love the cache! Left travel bug. Took ungeocache-related material and an orange monster.

OMG this is probably one of the best Caches I've seen!! Found it no worries at all but from hints knew roughly what to look for!! Took United voice badge ( will add to my badge collection) and left orange monster TFTC
Found at 10:12 AM GAFF1. What a great little set up! Loved the idea and also found a whole heap of Christian literature in the box including a CD! I moved it onto someone else's mailbox hoping they can dispose of it for you
The number of test wickets that Dubbo's favourite son took does not work on the combination lock - unless the combo lock is stuck or Wikipedia is wrong! We managed to open it using another number which was "222". That seemed as irrelevant as any other number, but it worked
Thanks Drdroid.
Feedback: I think it has been stuffed since Sept last year - have a look at salbro_jedmo's "Needs Maintenance" log.

Quick find because I had stupidly read some recent logs that unfortunately said exactly where the cache is. Loved the idea. Thanks for the cache.
This is, by far, one of my most favourite finds yet! Swapped a button for an eraser. Cache is in good condition. TFTC!
Agree with the last logger, this cache needs a stamp for us hybrid letterbox fans! Great cache! TFTC
This cache was great, Why isn't it a letterbox cache? just needs a stamp.
had a few problems with access but even with the answer nothing maybe we got it wrong? but with a little perserverance we accessed the log.
Favourite point form us today. took TB to further its travels.

Perfectly placed to be a really sneaky hide, we loved it. TFTC Drdroid, a favourite from us. Left Shuttle Atlantis STS-135 TB.
Found with Tassiegirl13 while down on holidays from Queensland.
This one popped up on the GPS as we were passing through town.
It wasn't the quickest find so I'll admit it was sneaky.
In the end we just trusted the GPS and with pretty good accuracy we did find it right where it said it should be.

Having just arrived home in Newcastle from the SA mega event a couple of days ago, it was off on another road trip...this time to visit family in Narromine. Always enjoy seeing cachers go that extra mile when placing their caches...and this was a beauty.
Gratias Drdroid.

Loved it and good one - finally work out the code and open the cache - no problem and took trackable. Signed the log. Thanks Drdroid.
Great day out for caching - enjoyed the travelling. Thanks for the caches around here.
2nd find of 2 today and a fair bit of effort has gone into this one! Thanks for bringing me here! Loved it! This one gets a favourite point.
What a brilliant hide, thanks for the effort you out in to make this cache so enjoyable.
A nice cache, just not sure why its listed as a traditional and not something else? ( don want to give too much away ). Nice job everyone and thanks for the cache Drdroid.
This was one clever cache. Geo hubby very impressed. TFTC going on a favourite list.
Found it This is one of the best I've seen. Cheers. SL TFTC

TFTC this one is the best we have found so far, took us a bit to think outside the box but when it all clicked the kids were smiling.
As we were leaving Dubbo we stopped by here to find this cache.
Collected the required information, so was quickly logged & on our way.
Collected the TB
Thanks Drdroid.

A quick find with the clue, and then went to the description for more help. On the net with the trusty mobile and I was in the cache. A quick sign and then back into Dubbo. The last for today. Thanks Dr Droid for this fun series of caches.
