Didn't find, will try another day. Ivy looked freshly trimmed, hope it's still there.
Geez this is well hidden!! Was getting a lot of strange looks from people today! Love the tank thanks
Unfortunately we didn't find it today. Loved looking at the tanks though. Maybe next time. 
'Should be a very easy find for most' pfffffttt!!!
We had no luck at all
We have another day here in The Mount, so hopefully we'll pick some caches up tomorrow.
Thanks

Sorry guys I meant to press "Write Note" not "Needs Archived" I only just got the app on my phone and didn't realise...
maybe a "did not find" would be more appropriate than a "needs archived"
The "needs archived" alerts the reviewers to archive the cache. A little over the top if the cache has just gone missing or someone couldnt find it..
The needs archived is used generally when cacher owners no longer maintain their caches or there are multiple DNF's

Oh no ! not a cannon cache ! but this one turned out to be a breeze to find.

# 2802. While my companions were diving I was out on my bike trying to find a few caches. This one is just around the corner from where we are staying and we in fact walked past it last night on the way to dinner. Being Saturday afternoon and a Public Holiday all was quiet around here. I was surprised to find a new log sheet - so yes, I am first on it. TFTC
Checked in on Leo tonight & gave him some fresh paper, so he's back in action again

Found while looking for a mystery munzee in the vicinity. Log book is full now. Thanks for the cache.
Spent the afternoon getting a few caches with other teams from the BLE.
A couple of quick finds while waiting for the pizzas. TFTC.

Found on our trip to the Little Big Event with Firesafe haha you scared us an easy tank find
We were in Nelson for the BLE and thought we would go further a field for more caches.
This one was found fairly quickly & we moved on to the next one.
Many thanks for the neat cache jantoshys for the hide.

#3553 We were staying in Nelson for the BLE and decided to make an afternoon of caching in Mt Gambier. When we were heading toward GZ in the 4WD's there was a collective groan in the car - the groan turned to delight when we realised that GZ was beyond the item of interest (yes, we've crawled over such things numerous times looking for micros). This time we were pleasantly surprised & a beaut cache container was uncovered by LoMo&Co. Very nicely done jantoshys . The log book was full when we were there but haven't perused the log history since our visit - sorry for the late log. Cheers [^]

Saturday at BLE and Dennisc52 and I set off to have a boat ride 
, then start our day's caching [^]
We got a tad sidetracked by hunting for a gas fitting for a stove
and so ended up in Mt Gambier, where we eventually managed to get a few caches [^]
Back to Nelson for tea, then we headed out with firesafe, Honeysucker and Huurtle for some night caching [^] before the first two headed to their respective sleeping spot and we other three headed back to Nelson [|)]
I attempted to locus cache at 23 caches and only had 1 DNF so that meant 22 smiley faces
Ah, the assumptions that we make when geocaching
I left the car unlocked, saying 'we will just be over the road!' Famous last words!
However a cute hide and it was exactly what I had said it would be! [^]
I know Dennisc52 was very interested in the displays, too

TFTC! Had jus finished dinner and decided to get a cache in the Mount before heading towards Tantanoola to do the night cache as part of the BLE event. The tank is a new addition to The Mount since we last lived here so it was nice o see something different. Found with Debs22.
In Town for the BLE. Jcody and I though we would head to Mt Gambier for a spot of Quality over Quantity. Stopped at this one after a pub meal with jcody, Cracka1 and S4pphire.
Nice hide - something a little different.

Went for a walk in the afternoon.
I seem to have come across a few of these pussy cats while caching.
There is one in Pt Augusta and another at Two Wells
You sure get around with caching.

Cute container! Wasn't where we thought it would be but with the amount of muggles around it would have been hard if it was allocated there. TFTH ??
Without a doubt, this is quite an elaborate hide. Well done jantoshys. The coords were fairly accurate and the find was quick and easy. However, the hide was turned upside-down but the container was out of sight. I replaced the container and hide the way I think it should have been. Thanks for cache.
Found on a trip to Mount Gambier with BrettnJames.
Great camouflage and idea.

Found at 3.50pm A quick find today. Did enjoy stopping at the nearby tank. TFTC and the story
8.00pm is a good time to find this one, no-one around, not even a car went past the whole time we were searching, opening, logging and returning. Thanks jantoshys. Love the cammo.
finally found my first cache without a gps and very clever to I might add check the clue for location
I was thinking this one will hard to find but was pleasantly suprised. As luck would have it I did park close to the cache, a creative hide also. TFTC
we've had a lot of bad luck with caches on tanks so groaned a little when we read the description but decided to give it a bash anyway. We like this type of tank! TFTC!
Found with the dynamic duo Freddo and TeamWaldron. Thanks for the fun!
Promise I did not leave a plastic dinosaur! Thanks to jantoshys and clear skies from TeamAstro.
Found during a 3 day cache run to Mt Gambier with Astro and Freddo.
A great time was had, especially at the dinner.
Last one for the day, found in the dark.

What a great container, it blends in really well TFTC. Found on our trip between Melbourne and Adelaide (26th June-4th July)
Saw this tank last time i was over. Finally got around to finding the cache this time. Tftc
Nice quick easy find. Needs new log. Sorry didn't have any spares with me. SL, TNLN TFTC. Innovative idea for a cache. Nice one jantoshys.
I flew 13,277 Km from Oregon, USA to find this cache. Thanks for the opportunity. Also had some fun at the RSL while here I had driven past this one earlier in the day and decided not to go looking for a cache on THAT thing! However later on I realised that the cache was not quite where I had first thought and sooon had the container in my hands. Good one, thanks jantoshys.
