Nice cache, looked right at it a few times before I got it! Log full signed my name with the others :p TFTC morgans2320
1745 Having missed out on Seaham Weir largely because I was chasing down Seaham TP, and had forgotten to pack the LED headlight, I wanted to grab a cache for the day to keep the Streak going, and couldn't count on finding NEWLY placed cache NEAR HOME - Tinonee.
As the sun had set I had to use the torch light from the phone, not great, but eventually got me there after half an hour search trying to avoid muggles driving or walking by.
I took the LAST spot on the cache log - will post a maintenance request.
Cache dry, but not intact - no lid.
TNLN Day 226 of the Streak - will I make a FULL YEAR!?!
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aust Light Houses, B 2 B ingot, Iconic Bridges, Just Monkeying Around Oz, Little Moo, PAP, Slugging Around the World!, Trackabulldog, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, and trackable shirt.
TFTC Morgans 2320 I was able to write Manning Valley Mountain Bikers initials there in the hope that money from his birthday will go towards getting Premium membership, as he found it.

Picked it up on the way to Chichester dam for BBQ lunch. Took a little while but Mrs C found it even though she hates spiders. Thanks morgans2320
The Booo's are heading on a holiday up north and what's a family holiday without a spot of caching
And no I couldn't see you at first very sneaky cache thanks

Stopped by this one after work just been to Seaham weir could not have picked a hotter day.
GZ was easily located but cache location took a bit of searching. Looked up the clue and read a few of the previous logs which helped in locating the cache.
Stopped for a while to watch the birds very peaceful place but alas too hot to stay long.

Found after a while with the help of Spikey Mikey(read the logs).
Good to see a bird hide. Pity no one has trimmed the trees though.

With all the Morgans2320 caches being 'put to bed' I thought that I better get those ones that I hadn't got already.
this cache took a little time, and I was worried about putting my hands into some of those places. But I 'braced' myself and came up with the goods.

Overnighted with aunt and uncle at their new home in Seaham. A great rural location with the pond and its pelicans. Cache true to descriptions and previous logs. TFTC.
It was very quiet here today, luckily as it took us awhile to find the cache. If we didn't read the hint we would still be looking.
Thanks morgans2320
Thanks morgans2320
First attempt at 0730hrs there were about 30 bird watchers hanging out in the hide so had to return later to find on my own.
Finally came up with the little critter, signed log, looked at the wild life for a while then left..
Thanks morgans2320.

Very sneaky, couldn't figure it out at first then I noticed spikeymikey name on the wall.
Found while out caching in this area.
Spotted the hide easy enough but it wasn't until the geo-kids read the clue that we found it.
Signed log and replaced.

Out caching with Spikeymikey and this one took some finding. We couldn't see how it could still be hidden in such a smallish area, so after nearly exhausting all our phone a friend options as no one answered, finally SM got onto the Cash Man and he directed us to the OBVIOUS spot when you see it.

A day of caching with TheHeadChef.
We searched for quite a while in all the obvious spots, and then some. No luck.
Decided to do the PAF option, only to find the first two not answering. Finally got onto TheCashMan who suggested an area to search.
Then it was very obvious where the cache is hidden. All you have to do is look where many geocachers have signed their names!!!
But it is still a very sneaky hide. Enjoyed this one!!

Stopped by this one in the middle of the night on my way home from Clarence Town. I must have looked very suspicious at night because one of the muggles across the road kept looking at me through his blinds and just as I hopped back in the car and started to leave he came out of his house. :S
The find it's self was a little tricky but after 10 mins I found the greeting and had the cache in hand. TFTC

What a great cache! We couldn't see you, and for long time we certainly couldn't find you! The description and clue certainly don't lie. Almost found this one by luck! TFTC morgans
Reperio at 1505.
Stopped by on the way back to Newcastle from Clarence Town, and pulled up only to find a couple of muggles standing across the road having a chat. Had a read of the information here in the hope that they would leave, but there was no such luck. Decided to phone a friend to narrow down the search area and to avoid the suspicious behavior of searching around, and soon spotted the cache.
Gratias.

Tough sneaky hide, searched high and low assisted by jonignite as well for twenty minutes. Eventually with time running out we got some help, thanks Morky70. Tricky morgans, very tricky, TFTC.

Finally cracked it!! We have been here three times before with no success. This was our first true nano that we had found. The magnet had come loose so we stuck it back with a bandaid. Needs epoxy glue replaced.
We decided to give this one another go after having logged a DNF last time. This time we were armed with some more hints from the previous logs, and after a fairly quick search we spotted the greeting and shortly after had the sneaky cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC
Second attempt at this one today and i think if it wasn't for a bit of a tip from the Tamykian i reckon i probably wouldn't of found it this time either.
Very tricky little cache.

Out caching with my muggle family and I was hoping this was going to be as easy as Seaham Weir. But it was not to be. We seemed to focus on the underside of the structure but after reading the logs, I guess it is up top. I like these crafty caches. Keep us all guessing. Thanks for bringing me back to Seaham.
What an effort we searched high and low, on the wood, tin and information in the viewing deck for 20 plus minutes.. Having read the previous logs we didn't want to walk away with a DNF but it was looking like we were heading that way. Just as we called it off I had one last check on the only part left and bugger me there it was..A very different type of nano to what we had our minds set on...Excellent SL TFTC

Our 4748th overall find.
After a previous DNF on this cache we decided it was closest to home today when we had to find a cache to mark another day off our calendar. This time the cache was in hand very quickly. Why we didn't find it the first time I am not sure.

Yay - finally found after looking a few different times! What silly horseys we are. A really nice place overlooking the river and a clever hide that has obviously stumped us and others too. SL - thanks for the cache - please don't can it just yet Morgans, because it is a worthwhile and interesting spot.
Found while out with TheWobblys and The-Don.
On arrival I found the GPS zeroed out on the approach ramp. Close enough to be able to find it with the clue.
Interesting spot. The-Don and I looked at this spot for a cache when we came out to Big Matt's cache nearby.
But after checking it I found this structure is owned and administrated by the dreaded NPWS so we didn't bother.
You slipped one through to the keeper here.
Thanks morgans

Had us looking all around until we found the welcome.
I like a bit of bird watching.

We looked everywhere for this one, but there were way too many spiders and wasps for us [especially after Marco was stung by a wasp at the last cache!] We wonder if the co-ordinates are still out a bit on this one as they were out on the last morgans2320 cache we did too.
Given the recent log by jump up and down we have rechecked the coords and find them to be rough enough to find the cache in NSW. Our sextant was very temperamental and prone to inaccuracies of between 2-4 light-years ( a few metres if oiled). It has now beeen serviced. Congrats to Chippyroo, Mrs Chippyroo is the FTF. We guess they read the description and clue and then looked. Very clever.

I must admit, I didn't use the GPS when I actually found the cache as I knew where it would be from my initial search (the DNF). So I don't know if they are out, but the Google Earth image does make it look like it is in a different spot, however, since most people's GPS's have an accuracy of 3m - I think the coords are good.
I still can't believe that I didn't look there - I'm kicking myself! If you use the clue, you should find it with no problems! Also, the area is very dusty - here's a big clue - look for the disturbed dust.....I tried to minimise the disturbance when removing and replacing the cache. Morgans - if that is too much of a hint I will remove the post.

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 39.781 E 151° 43.764
Distance from original: 12.4 feet or 3.8 meters.
I'm almost ready to can this one. Obviously everyone is using Google Earth and expecting the coords to be the same accuracy as a GPS. Sometimes this is not the case. Have Googled the cache and changed the coords again. Read the clues, read Chippyroo's log. Use Google Earth. Message me if you can't find it and I will help you. What more can a simple Geonerd do.

Woohoo *FTF* number 15. Mrs Chippyroo decided to take the geopooch, Smelly Ellie with her to look less dodgy and she found it straight away. Can't believe I didn't look there the other day as I did see what the clue was indicating but was assuming a larger container. TFTC
We searched high and low for about 30 mins - despite the neighbours looking at us. We also got a zero reading at the speed sign. May we suggest an update of the co-ordinates? Thanks anyway
Had a look for this one today, like the two before me my GPS zeroed out at the speed sign. Decided to look around anyway but came up empty handed. Can the owners please update the coords?
We came, we saw, we didn't find. When we pulled up next to the speed sign the GPS zeroed but we soon took a guess as to where it would be but at 10pm the neighbours soon got a bit inquisitive and wandered out to see what we were doing. After 5 minutes they went back inside and we continued looking. We looked up, down, and under, found many spiders and a few wasp nests, no cache.
Thanks anyway Morgan's
