We searched for some time, but didn't find it.

I think the ratings are a bit over the top, as I found the cache easily. Actually, I'm surprised that it hasn't been picked up by a muggle. Perhaps a bit of micro camo might be in order, a little bit llike Alpha Objective; or just swap the containers. TFTC
!WARNING! This cache is not recommended to be found at this time, but found it and cache is safe. The irony of PUDDLE Company hiding this one is funny. During the recent rain the GZ is flooded with about 50 cm of water. There is only the ledge on the sides of the underpass that can be crossed with the water almost reaching these ledges. If prepared and you have good footwear this water made the cache MUCH more interesting (and a little dangerous). The water is very dirty and smells so be careful. The authorities may block this off or pump the water out but for now it looks like a street in Venice. This unexpected hazard made this cache very interesting and an epic journey (especially with bikes ). TFTC
Search good and hard but couldn't find anything here. No smileyface for this one
Found the clue to be a bit deceptive as it's not quite but almost. I was concerned about losing signal but it wasn't the case. TFTC
This was a lucky quick find on a mission to clean up nanos in the area. TFTC puddle company.
Great little spot. I love searching for nano containers now I know what to look for. Thanks for the cache!

490. Had to wait for a school muggle to finish her cigarette before moving to GZ. Once there, a 5 minute search had the little beast in my possession. Moved away to wrestle with the log and then replaced it to its hide. TFTC.
quick one on the way home from work. I really do like the bridge caches as I seem to have a lot of luck with them. Thanks puddle company
The right cache to end the afternoon caching. Quickly had this one in hand, a good find. TYFTH
Found 750. Out for a morning walk and thought I try this one. Searched in all the obvious locations and was about to head off to log a dnf and then had one last thought. Success at last. Clever hide. Thanks for the hunt. Did Not SL because I didnt bring my tweezers.
Sunday 8 April - Happy Easter - what a beautiful warm autumn day. A quick find while walking with Geoson. thx L, thx puddle company.
I took a goat along to deal with the Trolls but bicycles were the problem today as they approached rapidly and silently. I had to act fast and make a grab then retire some distance to sign my special nano signature [SamW]. . .
then ran away.
then ran away.
5th of 13 on our trip around Belconnen. A nice easy find today with a very fitting name! Nice hide. TFTC puddle company![:o)]
Finally got around to ordering some new equipment. Arrived this week and it is with much happiness that I reenable the cache.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
Took a walk out to cache with Puk Ed yesterday and it is indeed gone. Will need time to put a new cache together so will take offline for a little while.
DNF for us aswell.
I reckon it isn't there.
Could owner confirm status of cache please.
Jezza10!

I think this one was muggled with 5 sets of eyes searching for it we came up empty
Found at 11pm on my way home from work. Don't know who was more surprised - me or the two muggles that stumbled through the GZ as i was trying to place it back! TFTC
On our day out with the geohounds another quick find, as the GPS lead us straight to it. Last one for our successful late afternoon cache run.

On a wet and miserable Sunday we decided to do a bit of caching. Nanos are evil enough to find when they're whole let alone missing their top but we still found it without too much grief. Maybe a troll took the top? TFTC

It's always frustrating to check a spot on my first attempt, discount it, search lots of other spots, then go back to the original spot & find the cache - especially when hoping for a quick find due to parking in a less than optimal spot! TFTC.
PS As mentioned in an earlier log the cache is missing its lid/top.

as we approached on the main road it was lucky it was a sunday morning so parking at the bus stop was the best place for now, but the initial search was fruit less and then a more detailed search began, this time Tealby spied the GZ
thanks
thanks
An enjoyable day of caching and picking off traditionals up this way.
Seems to be a lot of Troll type caches along this road and that's all good to us.
Thanks for the cache.

A quick find on my "way home" from work Had a look for the missing lid but had no success. Due to its location though the cache is in good order. Cheers and thanks for the cache!
Another one of these overpasses cleared out. No problems here despite the size. Thanks.

Lovely and sunny day for caching today...Mr Bushies2 found it...the cap is missing from the cache. Thanks puddle company.
Found out and about on a beaut afternoon in Canberra. We spotted this cache pretty quickly thanksfully - could have been a few hidey holes. A few a school kids about so signed the log and moved off. Thanks for the hunt puddle company.
Found without too much difficulty. There's a much larger container nearby - a different class of hider though. Half the container appears to be missing. Getting log out was hardest part.
Reasonably quick find. There were only a few logical places to look. Oh OK...there are a dozen logical places to look so I started at one end and did the loop knowing rain and underpasses would cause havoc on GPS reliability. OF COURSE I went in the wrong direction...but I found it in the end.
Once we had the right location sorted the Geonephew made a nice quick find on the cache. Luckily as we could have been there for a while I suspect! TFTC
Found this one solo on another cold Canberra night, was actually a very quick find (phew) now off to pick up miss Stormcatcher. TFTC

After playing golf all day Cacher (geopup) still needed a walk and I needed to check on a friends cat. Since this cache was in the middle it was time to grab it along with one other one. I didn't think I was going to find this one as it was starting to get dark and I didn't have any light other that my phone. After the pup got tangled up with another pup passing by the search began in earnest and luckily the cache was spotted quickly.
As per earlier posts the log book is full so will send a photo to cache owner as proof of find.
TFTC!

A quick grab in the afternoon.
However, the log is now full, was unable to log my visit, but grabbed a few photos to prove I was there.

had us going for a little bit, but it didn't take long to locate the cache
#1580 Found on our Canberra caching weekend. As has been our habit today (albeit bad), we parked in the bicycle lane in order to access this one. With the Queen being confined to the NinjaGolf with fractured ribs, and Dads knees giving him grief, we had no choice. TNLNSL TFTC puddle_gang
I guess the troll thing makes sense. A nice quick one probably because we knew what we were looking for. Interesting pipes leading to the surface.
After basically eating my weight in cobwebs, we found this cache!! 20th for the day.
decided to do this one on the way home...
18 year old geoson was with me in the car and i managed to convince him to come on his first cache hunt....(he still thinks this whole geocaching thing is dorky and for nerds!)
With flash lights in hand we got to GZ with no worries..
after a bit of a hunt i spotted the sneaky nano in no time.. but i played dumb and gave geoson some hints on where it could be...
he was quite surprised when he found it... and was amazed that the tiny nano contained a log with so many entries...
I wouldn't say he was converted, but i think he will come on the next hunt with me without too much persuasion

Waited for a group of teenagers to leave the area before I could make the grab.
Initially went beyond GZ before this little sucker came to light!
Thanks for the cache.

This was one a few caches Steeba and I found as we circulated around Canberra today. Sometimes you can be very lucky with a find. We had that luck today and had it in hand within seconds.
thanks

Found on a run around Canberra with The Rats.
Another quick grab through the suburbs. TFTC!

A great day out caching around the burbs with Secret Squirrel. The weather was great and stacks of caches found, TFTC
Cool tunnel, we loved the sky lights, haven't seen those before! Cachekid loves tunnels!
Found with Josh the Monk, took a little longer tha the others we have done today. TFTC.
Did a Mightybent - read the description as I walked up to GZ and realised straight away where I should be looking. Grabbed & returned between passing muggles.
Thanks
Thanks

After a few minutes of looking I decided to read the description. Saw it was a nano and soon had the cache. Tftc
Pulled up and followed a muggle towards GZ. Missed it on the first pass but a closer inspection on the second turned up the goods. The drain pipes in the middle could do with a clean out.

Our fourth and final find on the way home after Mr Roos' event. It didn't take Mr Winglen long at all. Thanks!
3885. [font=Century Gothic][green]Missed it on the first walk through but nabbed it on the second time. Interesting to see the tubes in the ceiling and the amount of dirt built up on the pipe.
