14:20 This was a two-leech cache for geo-wife but an excellent hide Browngang. Its success had quite a lot hinging on it. TFTC
Awesome hiding spot. Nice and dry even though everything surrounding it was wet. TNLN
We were greeted at GZ by a blue wren & his harem. To the sounds of their twittering we located the rather sneaky hide. TFTC.
TFTC! great location, such a creative container. The kids and I and friend Anthony G were stoked to find it, first cahce find for Anthony.

Found in the company of Wombat-1 who had previously found this one before.
A nice location with a very tricky camo job.

Fantastic camo - knew it would be good from the logs so initially had a good look at the nearby extinguisher.

Found this one on a weekend of caching around the Port Macquarie area – an area we love. We parked at the start of the track near the locked gate. Although it was rather wet the track wasn’t too muddy and we were able to walk down it without getting too messy. The GPS took us straight to GZ where we spotted the really awesome cache container. We love it when people go to so much trouble to make a container. TNLNSL TFTC
Fantastic effort and a wonderful hide.
Left pencil sharpener and took bug RGZW6Z for a walk. He will have a wonderful new home this weekend.

Congratulations Browngang what a top effort. Really enjoyed searching for this one.
I can remember passing here as a small child at Christmas, and seeing all the Christmas Bells.
Nice to have a cache here.
Good camo on the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

I've been looking forward to this cache since the day Browngang loaded the "hide" into my boat. Finally the planets aligned to provide a day off, good weather and no jobs to do. After a walk up the track and a short search I spotted the cache and called the geokids over to let them "find" it. We were all very impressed with the hiding place, we have never seen anything like this. Well done Browngang a top quality cache in Port.
Well I never. This has got to be one of the best camo jobs I have encountered. Great effort Browngang. It is always just that little more interesting when you find a cache with that little more effort done to hide it. Dropped off WETTERBERICHTSKEY PURPLE TB in honour of a great hide. TFTCGeo Dad found this one after a very enjoyable walk.
Geo wife and geo dog stayed in the car as I wasn't sure if I should take the geo dog into the area or not.
Very impressed in the camofage style used. I am looking forward to see what other enginuity the Browngang can come up with.
Took Travel bug

Braved a huge spider and it's web to find it but found it and we were very impressed such a novel idea it's given us inspiration for our next cache. T4TC Chris!
Cathie....nice place for a cache.
turned off the road just out of port and walked in. We had read the other logs and knew this would be a good and clever hide.
geoson was determined that it was the chair we had walked past before the geozone and wouldn't believe otherwise until we had the cache in hand (he gets that from his geodad!! lol 
).
when we had 'reached our destination' there was something out of the ordinary, headed for the spot and landed on the cache. great camo cache. [^]
We have been discussing hide styles on the drive down and unfortunately this would be the time that geohusband says ' I told you it would work'. So great catch Browngang you have inspired us to play with the minds of fellow cachers in the future!!

Great work on the container.Alot of effort and thought put into that cache.Took torch clip for harmonica.
Excellent hide one of the best cache containers I've seen in my short caching life
Hi Browny, Found your cache today on my way home from work. I felt a little bit suspect walking out of the track with all my bike gear on and my bike sitting on the side of the road. Great hide pretty hard to see from1 5mtrs away but that could be my inexperienced eyes. iphone took me to within 3mtrs of it. you are very right about that track may be muddy would of got stuck a few days ago.
Now that i am a paid up member i will have to put one in my self.
Anyway great cache, took Fire wise badge left carabina forgot to take photo.

Found at 6.00pm GAFF2. A very eventful cache this one! Apart from being one of the first to find Browngang's first cache, it was also the first cache that we found with our new eXplorist 610 (more on that later) and it completed our finds for a cache on every day in November!!
We arrived at the gate to the path and were surprised to see that there was a sign saying "No unauthorised entry" but we are sure that it meant no vehicle access (even though p-pprass tried to see if the gate could be opened so that we could drive the 110 metres to the cache). Saw some wild flowers, but not what we were expecting and then as we followed the 610 it led us straight to the cache and with some "inside knowledge" we spotted the cache from 15 metres away! A very nice camo - hope the hardware survives though!
The 610 was fantastic as it didn't waver at all - it picked a line and stuck to it. Where as the 600 would go a bit to the left and then a bit to the right and then somewhere in between until we would got to within 50 metres of GZ.
So - a very satisfying outing and we hope to see many more of Browngang's caches soon - glad that you didn't just put a cache under a bush as your first one!
ps - So is that how Cathie is pronounced? Doesn't make any sense does it

)Great container! Well constructed, that’s all I say . I should always shove some swaps in my pockets just in case a “small” is a “big small”, as I could have added some swaps. Thanks top hide!! .

Thanks top hide!! .Blackie_71 and I were just today wondering when your new cache was going to be published! Perfect timing actually as we need to find a cache on Monday 15 November to fill our calendar - ie to cache on all days in November - the only day missing for us is 15 Nov!
Thanks Browngang.
Thanks Browngang.
Yippee a FTF on my Birthday! This one popped up as I was heading out the door at work and was in hand shortly after. I really enjoyed this one in a great location. Be careful of the ever present mozzies and watch out for leeches. I got one of the latter on my arm while I was swapping my old bronze star medallion with a stubby cooler.
Thanks for the adventure Browngang
