This time during the day. Again no go. Not sure if this is here either due to photo evidence of location. Please confirm coords and here please.
Yep dnf went just on dark with daisy4300 and to much folage to see anything. Good hide rms
Did not find. Met some locals in the dead of night. Introduced them to Geocaching. We will all be back in daylight to have another go!
Thorough search did not reveal the expected typical RMS cache. Could COZ please check and replace if missing. Thanks RMS.
Found after about 10min, 3 pairs of eyes helped!TFTC!
Left random foreign currency for next Finder

Noticed one of the neighbours watching me as i put it back. Hopefully i haven't given it away.
Thanks for the cache. Took a little while and we almost gave up, but found it in the end.

I was out on a recon mission with Geotooter for a future multicache and decided to have another go at this one. It was a DNF for me last time I was here, around 18 months ago! My how time flies! This time, we walked straight up to it. A standard RMS hide. Last time, we did a thorough search so I feel it was muggled before. Anyway, log was signed and we were on our way. Nice to turn the grumpy face into a smiley. Thanks RMS. Hope you're well ol' mate!

Out caching today away from my usual area. Spent around 10 minutes looking and then decided to widen the search and soon spotted it. Signed the log and dropped a small peg in. TFTC rinsemesocks.
Quick(ish) find before my course at the Railway College of Knowledge. Dog poop definately about but none on me, nice way to start the day-Thank you!
After a great day at the Portugese Food And Wine Festival, eating pork pieces and chickn, drinking Sangria, and watching all the traditional folk dancing groups, we wandered down the road and found this cache without too much trouble. As we didn't have a pen to sign the log, I have uploaded a photo instead. TFTC
Found it on my third attempt. As usual it should have been easier but I lived up to my name and took way to long. Tftc
Good hide. Logbook is dry. No room for swaps or drops. SL TFTH TFTC Replaced cache as found.
Was in the area after a successful FTF attempt on a new nearby cache and decided to pick-up a few more classic RMS caches around the neighbourhood. Interesting story, I never knew! Quick and easy find, SL TFTC RMS!
First found on 20/06/2014 but for some reason is no longer on my found list so made a quick stop and let lilmissy and groove find the cache. Adding pic of log with old date.
This cache was under a shady and very welcome row of trees. A muggle stopped beside me in his car and loitered for a good five minutes as I signed the log surreptitiously. Thanks!

Thought the rain should make the find easy. But there were a bunch of muggles having dinner in their apartment across the road who kept looking my way. So ended up taking a lot longer - and wetter. Dropped in a 'gemstone'. TFTC RMS

My compass was all over the place on this one, but found it eventually thanks to Randomzonks. TTFC
Oh yeah. Passed by after my good friend's Birthday party to clear this former DNF from my list - priorities amiright?!

Found it! Must have just been my newbness earlier today.
Stuff inside it clearly affected from recent storms, though.

Was the first cache I looked for but didn't find it till I found other nearby caches so I knew what to look for.
Unfortunately the previous log was still damp from the huge storms last week, even inside the sealed zip lock bag.

This was a quick find on the way back to the car after finding “The Don. Is good.” at Petersham Park. SL TFTC
By coincidence, we had parked the car almost directly opposite GZ which was handy. A quick find for the team. Log was slightly damp, but still legible. TFTC.
#962 (3 of 7 today)
Back for a second day of dropping Geoson #2 at Oz Comic-Con, today working on a stand for his employer.
And there were still a number of caches nearby that I hadn't grabbed, so particularly targeted them as part of a morning's caching frenzy!
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
Arrived at GZ, and as a number of recent logs had recorded, I could not find it. But the most recent log is a "Found". Hmmm.
After assuring myself it wasn't near the published coordinates I widened my search. And there it was, 15 metres from GZ and in a pretty exposed spot - visible to passers by.
Knowing how the CO hides their caches, this just didn't look right - I suspected a serious case of cache creep.
So I took it upon myself to rehide near the published coordinates (double checked on Google Earth) and in a much less conspicuous place. Hope that's OK by the CO.

Looked high, look low, even looked at clues. DNF. Will have to come back later
No luck. Photos and gps didn't help and the hint very ambiguous . Maybe next time
A lot of broken glass...
Looked as closely as I could, but no luck this time.

Coords are out by 1 tree; the satellite view on 2 different devices show the same. Resorted to photos after 10mins and then felt very lame... Very easy find if you widen the search.
On this rainy day I had time to spend and walked around Petersham. These one was easy to find with no muggles around.

Too many railway lines there - No waste - finally found the mint and signed the log. Thanks rinsdemesocks.
Yep, it is still there! Although you would not expect it in that location, nevertheless TFTC!

We thought this one might be on private property. So much rubbish on the site it was hard to know where to look.
Think we found it located just on the other side of the fence but it's private property. And I wasn't willing to stick my hand in without gloves. :$
Hi RMS. Any chance of a check on this cache to see if it is still there? Thanks mate.
