Had a bit of a mosey around trying to look inconspicuous. No joy today.

No nano on a chain found in any signs today.

I thought that while the geokids were on school holidays we would knock off a few caches in the golden grove area.... We located this one easily but had trouble signing the log due to the high concentration of muggles.... Also the log is a little damp and I thought it may rip while replacing it.... TFTC

Found by The Boofs TFTC .

Tricky with Muggles driving through but found after 5 mins. TFTC

Found with buddy 389 and black wicca

Tftc really small. Didnt write on it.

Tftc

Not too busy here this evening and the cache was soon found. I have come before and not even bothered due to the traffic. I think I will be musing about the clue for a while now, hmmmm. Thanks for the hunt this evening

Didn't work clue out but found anyway.

Yippy we found you!! TFTC

Dont queue for it, you'll find it in good time

Woo hoo

Logging an old and persistent find - great cache !!!

Out with LL. WOW what a cache. Very very clever hint, one that I didnt figure out. My daughter was the clever one.

Out with BG and we were pondering about the clue. Then I figured it out and BAM!! Found it. WOW! That was very very good. Tftc. And there were SO MANY MUGGLES.

Nice and quite here today so didn't look like too much of an idiot !!

Smart Hide
Met Green Ninja's Today

Came last week but was 'The Village Idiot', so we bailed to try again another day!
Nice to meet other catchers too

Found. Thanks for the cache!

Easy after the last one!

Quick find walking past. Tftc.

Small and surrounded by muggles TFTC

In the area driving past thought I'd smash this out at peek hour shopping on Sat morning, you'd think I'd know better by now. Tftc

Tftc night out with cousins bm & bw

Found it after solid 5mins of searching!!

Matty P's first!!

My god that's tiny. Cheers cobber.

Found after a short search, this is a very busy area.
Only one "idiot" in this area

Tftc ! First find for many of these peeps.

Hooray !!
A cache that I feel I am fully qualified to find [:o)]
I wobbled to GZ on the pushbike this morning.
Easy parking

A few candidates for hiding the cache were given a good staring at,
but no caches seen !!
Time for the clue ...
... I'm clueless

So I wandered over to the most likely spot where I wouldn't get run over.
And wadda yer know ??
A cache
Tiny isn't it ??

TFTC and a sample of Village madness !!

3 of us and could not find it :/!

Found it, very very small but found easy

Bradman7777 (>_

Found with Bek. My sharp eyes and tallness was the key to this find TFTC

Found with Cam had to be sneaky! TFTC

Have been here 2 times now with 3 sets of eyes have looked high and low the 3 of us must be blind

Log checked and nowhere near being full so all good.

Found it finally, log will need replacing though as we used the last spot on the log. Cheers

Came here several months ago and had no luck, nice quick find after seeing the cache had been replaced. TFTC!

Been here before, no luck. Success this time with the geo kids

Sometime I think I must b blind. Found eventually

Great hide felt like a total idiot

Relatively quick find as good GPS. Don't let the photo give you the wrong impression about where to be. Have no idea what the clue means. Thanx

Owl doesn't normally cache at night, but after a day spent training new X-wing fighters and running a simulation involving a nasty Imperial virus, she needed a sure thing. Fortunately, the CO has kindly replaced the cache and she knew exactly where to look. Thanks!

The idiot is back.

Thanks Doctor Owl, the Idiot has gone missing. It will be replaced soon.

Pretty confident it isn't there. Checked twice today, once during shopping hours and once afterwards with instructions from the last finder. Given Owl's record lately, she can't rule out an extreme case of cache blindness, but it would be worth a check by the CO.

Finally get to make the find. This was missing last time I was here. TFTC

Sunday afternoon and still a bit of traffic about.
Parked nearby and soon had it in hand

Quickly found. Lots of muggles. TFTC

Quickly located despite muggle activity! Thankswilbyar for the hide!!!!!

Her the GEO Champion added this one to her tally on the second attempt after being sprung by muggles last visit it sure is tiny

Having learnt about this wonderful tool called pocket queries while out i was told there was a cache near by and was sent of wondering blindly in the vicinty of the cache until Mr&Mrs 3LG kindly loaded theres while I searched High low under in and on a disscusion was had about where it should be and where it wasnt i spied it and had it in hand TFTC TNLNSL

Tftc

we're not geocaching we're just doing drugs

such a clever hide!

Great clue! Almost grabbed a spider instead of the Cache at first ):

This is one of those caches that we have watched for a long time but haven't seriously attempted before as the opportunity (that is, a quiet muggle-less day) was not really there. Today being a public holiday and not very welcoming weather gave us a chance to have a look and we made a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC

Why

Found after Bp Black Spot TFTC

Good hide

Very good I like the tiny little cache

Got the little blighter, thanks to a previous log.
TFTC

Nice find whilst waiting for the shops to open. TFTC!!

Same sort of nano as BP Blackspot...if that is a hint! If you find that one then use same sort of eyes to look

Simple but tricky at the same time. TFTC Logged as ZB1

Great hide took a few minutes to work it out logged as tbb

Really felt like the village idiot, this was a first for us. Thanks for the education and the cache!!

Easy find on a sunny day. In fact it was a little too easy.
I was parked about 10 metres away and spotted the cache
as I was walking towards GZ. I discreetly grabbed it as I waited to cross the road.
Signed log and replaced in a more camouflaged location as I walked
back to my car 5 minutes later. TFTC

Happened to be in the area for my grand-daughters birthday party, I took a moment to go for a short walk while they were having a good time playing. The clue made no sense to me (probably showing my age or stupidity i.e. being the village idiot) but still managed to find the treasure. Then the pen wouldn't work and had to go to the nearby PO to use their pen to sign AWTY (to fit in the square). Thanks wilbyar.

Cache replaced.

I looked for this cache twice and could not find it either. I thought I was just a novice geo-clutz, but maybe the cache has developed legs?

This has unfortunately grown legs and gone , a second visit for SASR proved fruitless

I had two visits to this one. Tried phone a friend twice.
Talked with a previous finder and still no cache to be found. May need a visit from the owner.

Nice hide. #20

Home for us is Perth's Northern Suburbs but we have recently embarked on a trip around Australia with our Cat and Caravan.

Now touring SA after attending Oz Mega we headed out today to hit a few local caches.

Moved the car from Hungry Jacks to attempt this one. Parked about 50metres away and walked over. [B)] [:o)] Damn it a car parked right near the cache and the driver leapt out and left his passenger in the car staring at GZ.
Mutter mumble back to car. Phew less than 5mins later the driver returned and Mr Felix sidled up and nabbed the cache before anyone else came on by! phew.

TFTC wilbyar

That was good fun to find

Must have been right there, but either its missing or its too well hidden.

Just a quick find on our way to do the weekly shopping.

Found at 2:42:00 PM


Went to the first indicated location, knew enough from the description but could not see a cache. Started casting the net a bit further and rapidly ran out of options. Went back to GZ and there it was, obvious as .......

Thanks wilbyar for placing this cache and sharing this area with us!

Found at 1945 after a quick search. This was our third attempt on this one so glad to have it out the way on a very nice warm autumn evening. TFTC

Another nano for the night. Team Moray xo

Showing Ismartis another spawn of Satin ... just because I can. Mwahahahahaha, that or it was the next closest on the list.

Visiting here with Knightyme, it was another bloody nano, that makes two in a row! Why do they make such things. In Freddo's name burn down all the nano factories everywhere and restore peace and order to caching lands worldwide. TFTC

So very tiny, hard to retreive even with little fingers tftc

Have to wait in que for this one

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

After seeing this one near by and realising that it was one we hadn't attempted yet.. So off we went to live up to the village idiot name we spent a lot longer on this than originally anticipated, and after many trips to and from the car we looked around and deciphered the clue. Quick find after that and we were on our way TFTC

Finally a chance to grab this one, however it is not the first time I have looked but very happy to have this one marked off my list TFTC

Found on a super wet day with samkayxx

Found with Bek TheRaccooŋ. Walked past this one a couple of times. Had to ban the raccoon from handling the cache after a few cases of butter fingers (or should that be butter paws!) TFTC

I have to admit that I found the cache and then promptly dropped it on the ground.... and then was entrusted to sign the log scroll which I dropped under my seat in the car.... I guess its then no surprise that I was no longer trusted to handle the cache! No onlookers about to observe the antics, so we made a relatively quick find and sign and we were on our way. TFTC

Sure is a tiny little thing. TFTC

Mary from Aussie M & M was the village idiot who made the find and brisal5 helped by looking like another idiot as we filled in the log. Interesting spelling. TFTC wildyar.

Day 35 in a row for 31 days of caching in August. Out with Aussie M&M. Mrs. M made the find whilst I wanted to know what was the plus you get when you get petrol? Apparently it is so good people queue up to get it! Thanks wilbyar

Found with polkys quest tftc )

Easy this time if the morning Found with auzzie convict tftc

Interesting spelling. TFTC
