As noted previously, old container and log ruined. A New container and log were put in place today by me - 3ft above the previous one. Next cacher could help by bringing a bag for the new log, I didn't have one, sorry. Cache is now a mint tin. Left old sodden cache in place.
As per last Found It, there are now two caches here. As OC has ignored NMs perhaps its time this one is put to rest.
Found in the open, lid broken, wet .. maybe next visitor can help as the owner hasn't logged on to geocaching for almost three years.
Found it kids loved it - found trackable - cool now to work out how to use that part
quick find tftc

As others have said, coords off and log is wet.
Great to hear of a child that has a real admiration for his teacher.

We were heading north to the Hunter Valley for a wedding and grabbed this cache on the way.
Many thanks for the neat hiding spot..

Coords were WAY off but the hint sent us in the right direction. Original log was saturated but someone has replaced it since.

Managed to find this one after reading some recent logs as the coordinates were off. Easy find while we were in the area. TFTC
Easy little find, even if not at cords. Log is so wet it's basically impossible to sign
2230 GAFF1 On our way down to Sydney so I could get some new specs I was dropping off to visit with my sister and bro-in-law, so grabbed another for the day. (Was going to get Pitch Black (Multi/Night cache) but being so late thought I would get that another day.
As mentioned my others, the original log book is pulp, so added another small log book, double bagged, and emptied out a small amount of water.
If the CO (cache owner) could attend, and take away the original log book that would be great.
Another for the Night Caching thesis book mark.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aust Light Houses, B 2 B ingot, I Bashed at MidWest 2007, Iconic Bridges, Just Monkeying Around Oz, Little Moo, PAP, Trackabulldog, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, and trackable shirt.

On our way to Sydney we stopped off before staying over at 'the Bong'.
Hunted around a bit, until moving further away from GZ we found the cache, with a bit of water in it, and a small crack in the lid.
Cookie put a replacement logbook in so we could sign.

Found it, but like previous logs it is soaking wet. Could not log visit as it is that soggy. I first logged this with the wrong date. Trying for at least one cache a day for ? days.

Very clever clue. As lodged by others previously, this container needs maintenance. The lid leaks with a rip. It was full of water. Were unable to log our visit. [:x]
Didn't get to write my visit as container was full of water and paper soggy. I was there.
Cache has water in it, the lid is broken on the edge and the log and contents are wet ( was still able to sign log though )
An easy find on the way home. The lid of the cache is cracked and the log is damp but still able to sign it.
A little tricky at first, but the compass never lies, well, almost never.

Pleased to find this one at the end of a day of geocaching in the area. Thanks
Quick find while in the area for the weekend. Cache was quite wet and might need some TLC but thanks for the cache. SL TNLN Cheers for now.
ahhhh! finally found a geocache after all these dnf's. Was not expecting cache where it was. Thanks for the hunt
Was passing by and thought we would give this one another go. Don't you just hate it when you read all those 'easy find' 'quick find' etc.? Arrrrgggghhh! And still can't find it.
Found this one after a quick search. The cache had about 15mm of water inside but log book was still ok - just a little moist. Would recommend a new container with a better seal.
Cheers

GPS had us running around in circles but managed to get there in the end.
Cache was full of water so we drained in and the log is ok in it's bag.
Thanks for placing this cache.

Found during an afternoon drive through Cooranbong. Log book was reasonably dry but there was no pencil and I only had a pen which was too big for the container. Thanks chunkybutts4.
Found today. Everything damp so dried off as best we could and replaced the log's ziplock bag.
We did wonder about the overgrown park across the road?!
Thanks!

Thanks. Nice cache quick find. Everything is a bit damp except the log not too bad though. TNLN
Was visiting friends up the road when I decided to grab this one. Surprisingly busy road that one! Quick and easy. TFTC

We pulled up near GZ for a quick find in the dark. Good teachers that inspire are hard to find! glad your son has found one. TFTC.
Ran out the door to complete a few caches before tea. Super fast find and on to the next one. TFTC.
A simple drive by which was our last in Coorangbong for today. TFTC chunkybutts4. [969]

lovely day today, drive past to home, stop this cache and found it very well hide thanks
Our 4820th overall find.
Mr Neu would be happy to know we found it quickly today in between a break of cyclists going by. They were to be the bane of our existence today! While I'm not a huge fan of the location I love the fact that it has been placed to say thanks to the teacher that got you into the game.

This was a reasonably quick find for us. The passing traffic was the main issue as we had to wait between cars to conduct our search. This was a nice idea for a cache. Being an ex-teacher it warms my heart to see a cache as a tribute to another teacher - it is the ultimate goal as an educator to know you have had a role in positively shaping a student for life. as with Shifter Brains we searched in the three other possibilities before finding the cache.

Nice quick find on a weekend trip to the Hunter. Lots of traffic on the expressway at 11pm.

Shrieking eels had been doing so well today that we didn't think we needed to double check the spots they had looked, until this cache that was.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Looked at three other probable places before locating this one.
It is always good to have a teacher that motivates and encourages you.

Found at 1.10pm GAFF1 in the company of GD__ and shrieking eels. This cache was deceptively tricky to locate for a 1.5 difficulty. Still very hot and we were now really wanting to pull the pin and head for home.
Thanks chunkybutts4.

This was easier than we made it look. Took a little longer than expected as the gps sent us all in circles, tftc
A quicky on the way home (I love quickies )
Not at the listed co-ords, but in the obvious spot.

No kids today, hotter than the other day, 39 degrees and I don't have enough digits to count the humidity today and yet I found the cache in about 30 seconds. It helped that it's cover wasn't there, which wasn't the case days ago because I looked there and could not have missed the bright blue lid. Suffice to say the co-ords are still out somewhat which was why I was led astray on the previous visit. Today I ignored the GPS and I won.
Took Geocoin to move on.....thanks for the cache chunkmeister!

I think I was suffering heat stroke by now, that's my excuse for not finding this one.
Following a really nice meal at the Avondale shops we headed up here for a quick pickup with few options and no cars going by. Why would anyone else be out in this sun and heat? TNLN, thanks for the hide.
Reperio at 1925. This one was fairly close to home, so with a couple of hours to spare this evening, Darwinian and I went in search of a few caches and stopped by this one. Figured we knew where to locate the cache, and found it after a short search.
Gratias.
