ITs Gone Have not had alot of luck with my caches.... Am Archiving this as I will be moving to thr other side of australia in the next month so wont be here to look after a new one anyway. Thanks for all the finds guys!

A cache to be patient at for sure. Still, it gives you time to read ALL the logs and give you some idea what to look for. No luck after 30 mins or so. Tried the PAF option and confirmed what I thought, even where I thought but nothing other than remnants of attachment material. Could it be gone? Will keep watch or for CO to verify.

We were in the right place and had brought a pen with us to sign the log this time as Geo-hubby had forgotten it the first time that he had found this one, but it wasn't there. With 6 of the 7 Geo-kiddies that we have searching we know that it just wasn't there to be found!!Don't know if it has been removed for maintenance, found by cleaners, or possibly muggled... so it might need to be checked on. But whatever the reason did not find this time round!!
Thanks to Sue for getting us started with Geocaching and for the help with this one. Great place for a cache lots of fun looking for it! TFTC

No luck today after a reasonable search. We knew what we were looking for because of some helpful logs, but couldn't find it anywhere. Sounds like a clever cache though. TFTH

Drove past only to see the place full of muggles. See said we would park and walk up and see if they had been taken away. If not we would search another day.

Walked up and stood behind GZ to try and get some final bearings when something caught our eye , but how to get it. Then the bus came and cleared the place and we rushed in for a quick find but not what we were orignally expecting. SL and returned.

I haven't see this like spot ... thanks. J-LEST-TEAM

This one is definitely a favourite....very sneaky hide....if I say anymore I'd give it away....haven't seen one like this before....T4TC....

Today, work brought me to Macquarie Shopping Centre. I knew this cache was here so during a break I headed to GZ. Wearing my "cloak of invisibility" (aka orange hi-vis vest) I began the search and almost immediately placed my hand on something that felt a tad yicky!! (Is that a word?? ) My initial reaction was to drop the item but then I realised it was the cache! Clever little hide this one. My big boofy fingers had trouble with the log scroll but finally managed to unroll it and sign my moniker. Rolling it up and returning it to its container proved just as difficult. Nevertheless, with the job complete and cache returned I was on my way strolling down the road with a dopey grin on my face!! A nice little cache ChristineVista. Thank you for the adventure!

A great cache. Almost walked away before finding it. Had my brother, nephew and niece with me. TFTC.

This took me 3 trips over the last year to find it. Finally found it this morning and it was all the more satisfying when it was found! TFTC

Lol

great cache, Heaps of muggles. tried to pretend we were fixing a bike

Oh well, that is pretty awesome. I've heard about these and am so glad to have found one. I used a stick first!!

TFTC!

Great cache. TFTC

Was heading to Macquarie Centre for a bit of retail therapy and was happy to spot a cache nearby and what a great one, I have only heard of these before so it was fun to actually find one.

TFTC ~1171~

I was in Sydney on a business trip, and my flight was later in the afternoon. I thought I would get one last geocache before heading back to the United States. I saw this cache not far from my hotel (Stamford).

Ironically, this cache is within 300 feet of where I spent my week working!

This one took me a little longer than expected, but I found it. Had to wave on a couple of buses that started slowing down while I was there. There were no muggles around; I suppose no one uses the bus stop on Saturday.

Thanks for the excellent cache!

I had a quick look here a week ago cleverly disguised pushing my son in his push chair. Anyways that visit was cut short due to heavy rain. Didn't bother me but having to explain to my wife why my son was soaked is a different matter! So I returned today, just me and the bike which came in handy.
I knew what I had to find but I couldn't find it at first. Then I went to the place I should have looked first. This is where the bike came in handy, I pretended I was looking at some feature of that. Bingo!

Excellent cache,

On what is probably my earliest ever caching run (I was out the door of my hotel moments after 6am!!), I made this much too hard for myself. With no muggles around at this time, I was free to look everywhere. And that's what I did - except for the first place I should've looked. I read the hint, it eventually clicked, and I went straight to the cache. TFTC!

Easy find, in a place where caches would be hard to place.
Now I understand the title of the cache. At first I thought it was some sort of code.

TFTC ChristineVista!

Too many people about! Tricky! Work near here so I'll be back! Clues?

Great case! Almost got fooled by it! Tftc

Down from Queensland for a weekend raid with Tassiegirl13, Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ghost Gums, lochb, La Kedi, an Rebel Acts.
With eight of us on the job it wasn't looking good but just as we were about to give up I spied the little bugger.
TFTC.

Found with Bedmaker, Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ghost Gums, lochb, La Kedi, an Rebel Acts on our Sydney caching weekend.
This one took a bit of searching until Bedmaker finally discovered it. Very sneaky!
TFTC

Our group (LochB, GhostGums, Gunnie69, LeKedi, Rebel Acts, Bedmaker & Tassiegirl13 & I) where on a mission - numbers were the target..

This cache however wasn't that number friendly even with a name like it has....

The search dragged on search grid was widened then at the last moment Bedmaker had a breakthrough & located it


Log was soon signed..

TNLNSL

Thanks Christine Vista for the cache

This was, cache # 41 of 51 finds for the day, On day two of the MCBC raid on Sydney. Nice hide. My thanks to ChristineVista for the cache.

Well there was a cache in Seattle that used the same cache container, but I wasn't game to extract it from the rest of the real ones!

Nice hide!

Found while spending an enjoyable weekend finding caches around Sydney with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, lochb, La Kedi, Tassiegirl13, bedmaker and Rebel Acts.

TFTC

Caching by numbers in the Sydney burbs, GZ was located, but the container wasn't revealing itself easily...

We widened the search and scoured other areas but of course, came up with nothing. As we were running thin on hiding places, we checked the hint but that made little sense... [?]

After a few more minutes scratching around, bedmaker came up with the goods... Phew... [^]

Cheers ChristineVista.

Lol! First one of these I've seen in real life, though I've been tempted to do something similar. Very funny. TFTC. =^.^=
#2111

Found in the company of the MCBC - 2 of us from Vic, and 6 from Qld - on a weekend raid of Sydney caches.

A quick-ish found - I'd seen one of these before. TFTC

A bit easier on a Sunday morning than just after 5 during the week. Had the place to myself and as I was signing the log spotted a suspicious group looking at mobile phones come up and lurk about 10 metres away. As I walked away they swooped so I went back and ask if they were caching. Good to meet some new players. Thanks ChristineVista.

Very cool cache. Also got to meet a fellow cachet while finding it.

Replacing Log - back up soon!

New Log - YAY

This one took us a little while to find, especially since we had to wait for two guys seated here. It was quite funny watching geo-girl play around with the cache with a stick because she didn't want to touch it. For those that say they didn't have tweezers etc to remove the log, I doubt their find as the log is easily removed by simply pushing it through with your pen/pencil or numerous sticks lying around the place. TFTC.

I had absolutely no doubt what I was looking for, however it was very hard work on this hot Sunday afternoon to get to even look for it. A group of yoofs seemed to have commandeered the structure as a den. I visited several times. After the first visit I went off to Shrimptons Creek, found that, and returned. Coven of yoofs still there, so went off to GCA cache West of Eden. Waited forever there for a muggle to leave and finally gave up having a rendevous to make at Macquarie Centre. This involved walking past PK 2113 224 again - and, oh joy, the yoofs had moved on to more enjoyable ways to spend there time. But I had very little time. The item I was looking for was immediately obvious, but as others have found, the log is very hard to remove. Having read previous logs, I came tooled up - with a safety pin, and this did the trick.

The log seemed 1) exceptionally small, and 2) very full.

SL (as PB), TFTC.

Found quick after viewing the photo. TFTC

What a clever cache! Did not sign the log as my fingers were not nimble enough to get it out.TFTC

Sneaky sneaky c",)
TFTC

Great cache, very clever. SL.

Found on 2nd attempt. Despite expecting what I found this time I couldn't find it last time. That was back in July, so perhaps it was while it was offline for extra chewing.

Tested today. Still fruity and juicy.
SL as MrD

If the last person who found the cache did not sign log then it is a "NO find" !!!
According to the Cache Reviewer iriblet!!!!

Found today and loved it.
Well what else can I say the chip of the old block or "HubbaHubba" the cache I mean
If any one can come out to find Harrowandchock caches in the hills area then you will know what I mean.
SL and Rntd safe.

A fine hide. I got detention for such behaviour many years ago.

Yay, found with two geokids en route to do market research nearby. Great hide!! Didn't have pen or tweezers so unfortunately couldn't sign log. TFTC

Geocaching with the kids before shopping. A nice hide! Very realistic! Got the geoson to retrieve it just in case it was real! TFTC.

This one brought a smile upon our faces. Did not dare to touch it at first, but had to be it so we tried it in the end and had success. Thanks Christine!

found it good camo bad parking lol

Nice cache, easy to be muggeled and hard to find parking. T.F.T.C.

Nice camo. Spotted straight away but was fooled and didnt want to touch.. After a bit of sitting realised couldn't be anything else. Quiet Saturday morning free of muggles. SL PD. TFTC. Nice one

Nice easy find while walking geo-hounds round the area

TFTC

A great cache found at 5 o'clock near Macquarie Shops. Glennren recommended this to me and I finally made the walk to here from the shops. Great hide and Great camo. TFTCTNLNSL

Awesome! TFTC

Another good find on my holiday around Sydney. SL TFTC

Great cache. I saw it, left it & thought nothing of it. Kirby24706 found it 1 minute later. Difference is he reached out and checked & I didn't. Tftc

Yikes! Like this one. Sooo sneaky. Came with cybredoc238 and found it. Might need to change the hint but either than that. Awesome

This one was great! I didn't read the cache name before I looked which was a mistake... but after looking around for a while I eventually saw it for what it was.
Not sure that I understand the hint though...

Thought I'd wait patiently for the muggles to get the next bus but had one of those rare "first thing I touched" finds without even looking - magic. TFTC

Another with holyman54 on cache night!

Another epic night caching with cybermew3

Nice hide - loved it. Log was a bit damp which meant it was tricky to extract. Dried out a little, fairly quickly though - man its tiny. Thanks heaps for the hide. ChristineVista.

Love that someone used this idea

YAY!

Haha. Love it. Not what I was expecting. Quick find even though it was by accident

sorry guys - busted again - need to rethink this will be back up soon

Pretty much deduced what I'd be looking for from the clue. Brilliant idea. The cache does however seem to have reverted to its recalcitrant ways in terms of adherence. Seems to hang more than adhere, once again raising longevity concerns. Thanks for a great camo, ChristineVista.

Satanas 666 found this one for us today. When you think about, it where else could it be? Sit and ponder this one I say. Thanks ChristineVista.

Quick find. Despite getting a good idea of what it would look like from the hint it still took some mental effort to retrieve. One of the two attachment devices is loose, but the other is holding on strong.

It took me an hour but I found it! Didn't realise that you could make the micro ones look like that! I was expecting a black bullet shaped thing or a film canister! TFTC

Very clever cache. Love it!

Have been wanting to do this one for a while now. Checked it and saw that it was back up and headed straight to GZ. Wow! What a great cache Christine Vista. If I didn't know any better I'd've thought it was a HarroandChook special. Definitely one of our favourites.

Find very quickly after the final day of school. One of the logs basically revealed the location of the cache and with all the "amazing camo" logs for the cache the cache was easily spotted. TFTC

Cache back and is more secure and fresh log. Thanks for the heads up guys! enjoy!

This cache is literally falling apart and hanging by a thread. I did my best to repair it but I fear it won't last.

#for today: 2, TOD: Night, Conditions: Fine, Cache Condition: Falling apart. log completely full - needs urgent maintenance Others:Nil

Very quick find on the way home from dinner after Geobikie chick dropped me off at Uni to pick up the GeoStead. Have seen one of these before so an easy find (although last time I thought the cache was one of these I had and eeeah experience<:()

SL TFTC

Back online soon

Reperio at 1225. When I arrived at GZ, I figured there wouldn't be much hope of a thorough search being this time of day and having so many muggles walking by. I sat down and thought I'd give it a few minutes. I bent down to try my shoelace (for real), and spotted the cache. Very nicely done, although it was to be spotted a lot easier due to the fixation device coming away from the cache and causing the cache to hang down.

Gratias.

Had the place for ourself this sunny day. Cache was quickly found.

Awesomely sneaky cache. We have one we are yet to place! On Chippyroo's Sydney 24 hour Cache Hunt. TFTC.

Once again I seem to be stuck like glue to the shirttails of pjmpjm, even our long way from both our Blue Mountains homes.

This cache was clever and ingenious. I hope it lasts!?!

Now if I could just get pjmpjm off from where he is stuck!?!

TFTC.

I thought I knew what I was looking for but -- although I was close -- this was a new twist on the theme for me!

Great camo and lots of fun!

As is usual in such places, I had to wait for the muggles to move on, and then it was an easy find.

Can see why other finders worried about the state of this little cache. It seems ready to come apart. However, I got it back in place and it's probably just fine.

After I had walked back to the GeoBuru2, I heard a tap on the window and a question about whether there was any place I wouldn't park? Someone knew I was an ex-taxi driver. It was the yellow bird himself, the TC head honcho, and I accompanied him back to GZ for the pleasure of watching him search.

So this meeting was a high point of the evening's geocaching adventure!

Many thanks to ChristineVista. This makes two of your caches I've found in one day.

Sometimes wet weather is good thing! the rain must have kept muggles away, as I had GZ all to myself. Spent more time extracting and putting the log back than I did finding the cache. Cute little thing. However, it seems to be coming apart. It's gonna need some maintenance soon.

cache coming apart. can CO check on this one please?

Taken away to secure cache a little more - be back up soon!

“Thanks dinkyfish for the alert. I have reviewed the cache and all is well. The cache doesn’t require maintenance and is intact. The log compartment is able to be removed from the main cache so that extraction of the log is an easier process.“

Cache Hunt 503; GAFF1; Weather, Rainy; Helpers, None; Cache condition, OK; Find of the day, 1st; STATUS; Found; GPS at GZ - 6m

If only this were published on a weekday, I would have been down here so fast being a quick 500m away, that I would have nabbed this one first! Oh well...
Walked down today and knew exactly were GZ was. Started my search and then something looked interesting. I inspected and it was either going to be a yay or yuck moment. It was a yay as cache came into my hand. Grabbed the tiny little log to sign and then replaced. First of this type of camo....NICE TFTC.

sneaky cache had to wait some time for some poeple to move a long then cache was in hand loved it good work girls tftc

Very sneaky hide. First i've seen like this.

Excellent diversion whilst involved in a shopping centre expedition. Delayed by muggles using GZ as it was intended. Excellent camo - the only reason we found it at all is due to the crazy nature of geocachers. TFTC!

Wasn't able to get out in the rain to find this one yesterday but today we parked in the centre and walked up. Started to look but a pair of muggles moved in and sat down. We waited as bus after bus went by, looked all over it as casually as possibly but I thought I'd TAF (text) for a hint as rain was imminent. Worked out what we were looking for just as the hint came through and after the bus finally came and went we made the find. Funnily enough I'd found one exactly like this in Townsville some months ago but I'd read the clue completely differently. Makes sense now, even the cache name.
Thanks!

2TF! Yay! Geohusband first went to have a look and saw a man and his daughter sitting at GZ, they soon departed and he started looking, no luck... so geowife had a go... looked up, down, all around then a car pulled up asking if I'd found it yet.... it was sjamp - aka the man and his daughter! They came back to watch me look, and then aha.... I had noticed it on first look but thought, "nah, couldn't be" but yes it was! Great camo! TFTC... As I was leaving TLM junior appeared.... Good to meet some more cachers in the wild!

What better way to break the boredom of a wet winter day then race out after a new cache. It took a while to get out the door as TLM Junior was still in his pyjamas as it was only about midday. As we approached saw three suspicious people loitering near where we were going to search. Then recognised one of them as half of Smitchnstu.

We were beaten. Dropped TLM Junior while I parked and by the time I returned he had found the cache and was just about finished writing. Had a good chat to Sjamp and then we all went off to do battle with the weather. Nice to meet you guys. Thanks ChristineVista, hadn't seen one of those before.

Found By Nanny and Bo on wet Sunday afternnon.
A great piece of camo for this type of location.
Others may use gloves to handle this cache.
SL.
TFTC

Woohoo FTF! Geodaughter and I rushed over to Macquarie Centre and we were soon searching nearby in the light rain. A few places, and then what's this! We hadn't seen one of these before, and that log sure is tiny.

Thanks ChristineVista, I like these ones that are close to home!
