Solved this one ages ago, but like previous cachers, I was unable to locate the cache at GZ today.
Will give this one another go after CO does a check and replace if needed.
Thanks anyways rhino3004

yea i think this one is muggled only because I decrypted the clue you gave in the logs, no luck. pushed back all of the trash and leaf litter i could, still nothing. The biggest reason for logging this as needs maintenance though is that a past cacher logged that they came with a person who found this cache earlier, and they couldn't find it. Sorry about this!
[Will check this one soon.] Make sure you look good through the scrub it was placed somewhere in the center. [If your sure you can't find it please post a maintenance log.]
no luck, found an indent in the ground, looks like something once sat there? hope this one hasn't been muggled
I have also tried to find the cache at GZ, even with the help of a previous finder. Perhaps the CO could confirm it is still there.
I was hoping to get this one as it was on my way today, but no sign of it. There was something that might have once been a container at the base of a drainpipe at GZ.
I was pretty sure to have solve it right and also was looking at the right place. But after a while of looking (and I picked today since it was in the school holidays) I checked some of the older logs. Maybe I just didn't bring the proper leave moving equipment ?
The description says its near a school but my navigation says its in the local shopping centre?
Found this one after a while at the other end from where we started. Thanks rhino3004. Cheers
Finally some warm weather in Canberra, so we headed out to do some caching. This one took us a while and Marco ended up covered in leaves etc but eventually came up with the goods. The hint was of no help whatsoever. TNLNSL TFTC
ThaPatio did the leg work for this one, Cwolf and I helped clean up and find the cache.
Third find for the night TFTC.
Third find for the night TFTC.
After going here earlier in the day but seeing a lot of bee's around (I hate bees) I Decided to come back later in the day.
Came back with Cwolf89 and Mirokoth.
Mirokoth made the find, A cool cache, can see why it wouldn't be possible during school time.

After seeing this was back up and running, resolved and ducked over to find it. Nice easy find on a weekend day, wouldn't like to try it during school hours! TFTC and the find, finally
891. After a DNF on this one it was added to my watch list. Saw it was good to go, so re did he solving, and popped out this morning for a quick find. Thanks rhino3004 for the cache and keeping it rolling.
We had been to this previously and since it was back on line decided to come back for the search. Picked up FFLL1 brother to help out, six eyes and all that....and it worked....a quick grab and on to collect some more smileys from our solved puzzles list.

Being as this is just around the corner, I thought I should collect it. A quick find, but it is rather cold out there at the moment.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I have replaced the cache in a different spot and updated the puzzle to reveal the new coordinates.
Oh no, another DNF on this one. Maybe we don't have the correct coords after all? This one is either gone, extremely well hidden or else making us doubt our puzzle solving skills. We thought ROT13 was the answer. Will still keep a weather eye on this one and retry once it has been checked by owner.
Silly me went looking first and then read the recent logs onsite! Another one for the watched list.
Spent about 15 min looking and re-looking. Is it possible for it to be checked to see if it's been muggled or not?
Had a quick look and didn't find it, but only spent five minutes as I was still feeling a bit crook and tummy decided for me that I needed to get home asap. However, checked all obvious spots, including around tree where GPS said 0m. Also checked fence in case of GPS not being accurate but no joy. Will reattempt once someone else has found it so we know it is there. TFTH
Found on a days caching run with The Rats in the southern suburbs of Canberra.
Surprised that this one has not been muggled being where it is- we tried to cvoer up the camo as best we could. TFTC!

This was one of a few caches that Steeba and I managed to grab on days caching around Canberra.
This was quick find and it was rather exposed. Glad it wasnt a week day when we were here.

Found cache lying very underdressed in the winter weather, so gave it some more camo gear to extend its happy existence. Nice puzzle, and nice walk from the Hyperdome!
Had solved this puzzle ages ago but never had the time to get down to it. Today I went down to Conder and was on my way back when I saw I was near to gz. Once at gz I made a quick easy find. A sort of puzzle I enjoy. TFTC rhino3004
TFTC, Geokid was very excited at finding this one as it is a short walk from daycare. Easier than expected as it was lying in the open. though looking at the logs I'm surprised this one has lasted as long as it has.
too easy clues and found final gz... then arrival gz as oh luck cache was show on ground, cache very well.. return fix up cover.... thanks
Sally and I worked this one out in the car after shopping together at the nearby shopping complex.
Parking was no problem and muggles were absent which helped.

We worked this one out which was nice and easy.
An easy find in the second place we checked.

shinydragon ran straight to the cache after I'd looked at the GPSr and remarked the parking spot was close to the cache.
Finding out the answers was pretty easy. The cache was very easy to find. Nice area. Cool puzzle. TNLN. Thanks.
We stopped by this cache on the way to my first day of school this morning. So school is no longer out...
It was my boy's first day of school!!!!!!! To celebrate this milestone we decided to get the cache right near his new school. T-rex 05 was so keen for school this morning that he went to brush his teeth before even having his breakfast. After school his first words to me was " I love school mum, though they didn't learn me anything today".

It's our eldest boy's (T-Rex05) first day of school today... So what better way to start the school year than to stop and get a cache on the way to school!! Didn't have far to go for this one. TFTC
Well the wifey sent me out for this one after cracking the code. So off with me new caching buddy it was.
Seeing as school's still out, we a took a Geokid to find this one. Nice little diversion.
As driver and parking co-ordinator it was my job to park in the best location as close as possible, well as Code 1 said in front of the gate this early in the day in the school holidays should be safe but no, someone keen to get browny points was there to open the gates, did not seem to worry her we were parking there and after opening gates our cars danced as we left.
JABs.

It was around 7:30am when we got to this one and thinking there would be nobody turn up at school, given it was holidays and all, we parked in the drive way and slipped down to get the cache. After the duties were completed we headed back to the car as one of the staff turned up to school. She opened the gates as we exchanged pleasantries but she didn't seem too concerned and we were soon on our way again.

3879. [font=Century Gothic][green]Trundling around south Canberra today just taking in the warm weather and a few caches to boot. (No caches were harmed in the making of this log - and certainly none were booted). Although perhaps this one could be accidentally.

After dropping my car in for a service down in Tuggeranong, it was a good chance to pick up some unfounds down this way. Thanks rhino3004.
The puzzle had me a bit worried, but I suppose I should take it at face value. At GZ the terrain rating had me a bit confused, but after a few laps around I noticed the cache. Thanks.

Schools Out? Certainly has been for me and for quite some time too!!!
Luckily, when I escaped work for the rest of the year, the cache was soon to hand (since I had solved it earlier in the day) and then it was Christmas shopping for all ages!!
The log could do with a new bag as the current one has a split.

Nice easy puzzle - fittingly done in conjunction with "Remember the Days" just as school is ending for the year (or forever in my kids case).
A nice easy puzzle, and a nice easy find, just how we like it !
Thanks for the cache, rhino3004 !

A short detour on the way home for a quick find.......as quick as it took to complete the puzzle.

2924 - A quick caching run after the Cup...
Maybe the quickest puzzled ever solved for me?? !! Wish there were more like them ! Just a matter of driving down South and avoiding the muggles to pick up the find - thanks rhino3004 !

Solved this one the day it came out, but when EdenDanny logged it before me I decided it could wait. Was out and about today and picked it up during school lunch. Not a soul around but plenty of kids to be heard. Cache cover is light and if EdenDanny thinks so it MUST be true!
I'm glad for the plastic bag in this cache since the lid doesn't seal so well. I think the cache is overstuffed. Pencils and pens have pierced the bag though.

He he - now that's my type of puzzle - I like it!
Nice quick find after that. Thanks.

Reperio at 1100. Was in the area today and knew that this one was close by, but hadn't solved it yet. Pulled over near the starting coords and quickly worked out the numbers. With school in today, the cache was quickly found.
Gratias.

Oooooh yeah. Figured out the co-ords this morning, put it in rent-a-gps, everything looked good.
Decided to get it this evening, as there'd be no small children around, But alas! Gave the gps back earlier! Doh!
Found it without the gps! Hells yeah!
(also, now have Alice Cooper stuck in my head. Cheers.)

yeh my first solo first to find *FTF*. Solved this one really quickly and was off, with bubby just waking up. No other kids to get ready so were out the door within minutes. This one was found pretty easily. I hope it remains covered.
