This is becoming one long weekend of cache replacement..... are we going to see this one fixed any time soon?
How did you go FlatMan on getting this one fixed up? I really want to tick this one off the list of local caches I have to get done..
WE've got a replacement made for this cache, and are planning to replace it this weekend. Sorry for the delay.
Unfortunately I didn't read the logs well and turned up anyway! Still a disabling for over three months is to long, maybe archiving if you haven't got the possibility to replace it?
Hi Flat Man.
Any Eta on this cache's renewal? Need to knock this one off the list.

Checked this one after Steeba and Hoojar logged and DNF and it appears that the cache has gone missing.
Not exactly sure how this cache got muggled, however we will try and get a replacement out soon.

Out on an afternoon/ evening run with Hoojar around the wider Campbelltown area.
Another DNF to finish off. It probably didn't help that it was pretty much dark by the time we attempted this one- that coupled with the drizzle it was time to call it a night.

Darkness. Rain. Three other DNFs this evening. I think it is safe to say that by the time Steeba and I got here our hearts were no longer really in it. After not much more than a cursory look we retreated back to the coast with our tails between our legs.
We made our way here after doing a dogs life just up the track a bit. Got to GZ and did not see much out of place so we got do to doing a detailed search. We where not too sure of what the hide or camo might be. We then stood back and decide to widen our search and then found a container type we have not seen before. As we had lost our pen enroute some where we tooka photo of the log.

It was good to get the 2012 caching season off and running although Billy the
blue tongue was proving to be a shy type I had to use a PAF and soon spotted
his head poking out from his hiding spot...TFTC...

It was only 10am but it had started to warm up by the time I got to GZ.
Luckily it was a quick find and back to the car"s air con.
Like the camo used.

Happy to report that after I made my way to GZ I spotted it straight away. Nice camo though, a bit unusual! Thanks Flat Man.
Second attempt. Still not found. Gave up after nearly treading on a red bellied black snake.
Found and logged at 14:50, On my way to Sydney via the scenic route
A verry nice hide
Thanks The Flat Man

Our 2nd visit. Wife wanted to give up again but after sitting back against the stink pipe and watching the kids attempt this one. They were walking away, I walked up and found it this time in 30 seconds.
Cheers

It took a while to find even though the GPS was pointing straight at it. A little bit of thought helped. It is small so there are plenty of possibilities for hiding it. Unique container!
This took us a few minutes to spot, but once I spotted it I was certain I'd found it. Thanks
I tried using a zen approach to finding this one. Bikerbuddy tried using his eyes. His was the more successful method .
Clever camo, thanks.

Came around the bend in the cycleway and spied a muggle laying on the grass in exactly the direction I wanted to head. Bugger I thought, so I walked on a bit and turned around and he was gone. Strolled over to look for the cache and spied it fairly quickly but didn't register that what I was looking at was the cache. After a bit of a scrounge around the place I returned and had another look and then I saw it. Very good container.
Another couple of muggles sat down nearby so I had to be discreet. Signed the log and quietly returned the cache before heading off.

GPS was all over the place here but the cache was soon spotted. A different container we hadn't seen, but very effective.

Found! almost gave up on this one, then looked harder and yay! Nice camp TFTC
Continued my walk and found the location. After searching the wrong spot for a while thought about it and found the nice camo cache. TFTC.
Oh man!! Another tricky micro... Camo = awesome... But like the second cache my pen still doesn't work 
most definitely returning to sign these logs 
I want the proof I found these tricky little caches seriously much respect! TFTC

Nice little spot, was great finally meeting Rainbow Spirit, was a pleasure doing this one. Nice cache disguise. TFTC.
With jkcourtz and cattledog81 with me, this was a doddle. With jk playing the hot and cold game with us, the honours soon went to cattledog81.
I might still be there if it wasn't for the help, thanks John, and thanks TFM, looks like we have another devious cache hider amongst us...

FTF 9:20pm We just complete “Hidden Picnic” and headed off along the bike track to this one. As it was dark and only 13°C I knew seeing a Bluetongue was highly unlikely, but too my amazement in the torch light is that what I think it is yep! another cleverly hidden micro. We loved the camo work on this one as well. Still another 2klms of bike track to go, so I will be keeping a watch for the next ones. A great little cache thanks The Flat Man. .
