Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

These new coords put it too close to your "NENWSWSE" cache, so one of them will need to be moved or archived.
Cache coordinate are wrong. CO has provided correct. Coords in logs, but this is still confusing and wasting people's time.
The correct cords need updating.

OH Phew after 3 times .. DR WHO help me to find cache...I didnt know about change GZ ... thank
tricky. two pairs of eyes but no find. read the previous logs and still didn't have a clue. must return as this is probably the closest cache to my house which i haven't found yet.
Don't know why I bothered with this one really. New co-ordinates in log were over 200m away from previous GZ. A lot of walking to find that the cache was hidden in snake territory and after the recent deluge I don't even know if it'll still be there.
There are plenty of great spots near the old GZ, why move it so far away?

After today's LOG I decided to check on cache. From the relative safety of the carpark the cache was in clear sight only meters from me. Good luck!
My second attempt, but now armed with revised co-ordinates from a previous log rather than the incorrect ones from the download.
Still took some locating, but eventually located by Mrs H & C's, with the assistance of a previous finders log entry.

HOORAY, finally found it. Thought this was gone again. Thanks wolfboy for showing everyone it is here. You renewed my interest atleast.

Tried the new coordinates, no luck, but it was dark. I think this one could be doomed, the creek gets this high, Easy. That's if its where I was looking. Going on the Map that is.

Well, I've come up empty handed once again. Looked high, low, far and wide, triangular my little heart out, came up with nothing.

DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LARGE FENCE, AND THE CACHE GOING MISSING. A NEW CACHE HAS BEEN LAID IN A MORE CONVIENIENT LOCATION. CO-ORDINATES HAVE BEEN UPDATED. HAPPY HUNTING.
Going on passed logs this one has been muggled. Had a look anyway but did not find.
So if it is missing you should disable the cache to stop people from attempting it.
Checked this one again today. Unfortunately it's been muggled. Previously dnf's were a result of camouflage. But this time it has gone. I am on the hunt for a suitable container and will replace ASAP possibly in a more accessible location as current location has been fenced in!
Didn't find this one. They are building a fence to stop people going into this area.
Am very sure that I was looking for the right thing, and we all searched very thoroughly for ages, but did not find it. We live just up the road and I'll give it another go after someone else posts a 'find'.
Loved it, figured out what we were looking for, but was looking for a different type
Loved this one as 2 did not come to me until after the find lol very good cache. TFTC
Oooohhh yuk. I was hoping it wasn't in the wild grassy area since I had no reason to be there. Sure enough, I found it but I didn't enjoy collecting it for logging. Aaargh. Where can I wash my hands....lol
Thanks OrthSouthEastWest
Thanks OrthSouthEastWest
Its not a did not find because I did not look. Some workers were about 20 metres away from where the GPS was pointing. I'm pretty sure I know what to look for next time. I think I logged one similar outside Singleton a few years back. See "Did You Have To", a now archived cache.
Again thx 4 the guidance of OrthSouthEastWest compass. Steaming hot clues lead us 2 this 1 with the nose of "The Miles Mastiffs" sniffing it out. Next find Frazer Park TFTC
This is getting a favorite from me. Read logs and thought about name. What a great cache.
Our thirteenth for the day and what an awesome cache. We did get waylayed on a red herring for a while, until Christine Vista took a leaf out of Chook's book, and took her time reading the logs and mulling things over before experiencing an "aha moment". She shared her theory and Chook realised she was standing right next to it. How cool. Definitely a favourite. Even though Chook did the grab, we all agree this was a Christine Vista find. TFTC.
We were down the Central Coast for a weekend of caching. We did this one after finding NENWSWSE. We had a nice walk across the football field which was deserted so we had the place to ourselves. We followed the GPS towards GZ but were still scratching our heads about what we were looking for. Then the cache name actually registered on us and BINGO - there was the dirty dog! We had such a laugh about this one - thank you so much for this one. TNLNSL TFTC
Awesome cache container. Mr Chippyroo went in to grab it and as he was signing the log a whole sports team jogged past so he pretended to have lost a ball. TFTC.
It all made sense when I found the cache. Luckily there was only 1. Plenty of these types up in the top end. It had been raining so it added to the cache reality. Clear skies. [^]
Very frustrating - had six searchers combing the area but NFI where it could be. Going back soon... it will not defeat us!
Great job orthsoutheastwest!! We enjoyed the search!!

Wondering why it was suggested to take a ball to GZ...haha, soon realised why when we arrived. (And the cache stood out like... er...dogs b***ls too!!!!!)
After reading the hint and other logs I was fairly certain of what i was looking for. Quickly located cache and completed the paper work before returning. TYFC. This has been one of the funniest caches i have seen.
amazing cache geo dad found it as soon as we had it we new why you **** it.

Well I think we are still larffing about this one and I have given it a favorite.
We looked in the usual camo spots as the cords were spot on, with not much luck until my Geo boy accidentally did something that he did not know and then I was the one that benefited from as the cache was now visible... We all just cracked up and you will know what I mean when you find this one guys.
Well done great spot for it and. N# 8 for the day and this is our favorite so far.

Looked for about 10 minutes, then thought about the name and a couple of the logs, All of a sudden we said - that was it - and returned to find the cache which we had spotted before.
A good hide. I can see why people would miss it.
Thanks OrthSouthEastWest

Our last cache for the night had us traipsing around for some time... hate logging a DNF.. and after reading a few logs am even more frustrated, know what to look for next time... just hope it's the actual cache I pick up! [xx(]
We will be back!
Thanks to DTM74 for a fun night
We will be back!

It gave us the shits trying to find this one as we came looking for it with with only iphone in hand and having not read the log . Gave up and returned, there it was staring us in the face all the time, well done orthsoutheastwest.
Holey S#&T, tried this one at 2am to avoid the heat of the other day when I first came but got stuck at the fence. My GPS was telling me 15m over the fence, and I couldn't see that as being possible, fenced off areas are no no no....well I thought. Plus I had the kidlets with me the other day and I wasn't throwing them over the fence.
Anyway I had the place all to myself and so set off looking for number 2. After finding my way in through the fence, the cache was soon in hand. It was covered much more than I expected and I nearly missed it, but the torch light picked it up nicely. Might have missed it entirely in daylight.
Thanks for the cache, I dropped a log.

Found this while out caching on Australia Day with TheWobblys and The-Don.
What better way to celebrate Australia Day than being out caching with the family.
What can I say but this is a crappy hide.
Thanks OSEW

I agree that I am not sure that this is the best spot for a cache. Perhaps relocating it to nearby would be more suitable. It was a clever hide however. TFTC
Princess geo-kid was far from impressed with this cache.. However geo-son thought it was the best!! TFTC SL
My first first to find! And what a brilliant little cache! I was a litle hesitant at first but after applying the stick treatment, the cache was soon in hand Thanks for the cache!
No-one was to be seen and coords were spot on. MrsFish saw this one straight away, helped by the habits of 2 of our family members. Thanks for a very good cache.
Don't know if we should be walking on this area. Looks as though it has been fenced off for regeneration.
Searched a bit for the cache, found the offending article at different co-ords, YUK! TNLNSL TFTC
