Finally decided to put this one to bed as there doesn't appear to be an easy way to replace the old cache container with something similar to keep the theme going.

I have been away quite a bit recently so haven't had a chance to replace this cache yet, but do intend to.
Watch this space...

Thanks Ministro for flagging this cache.

I do plan to replace the cache container and reactivate this cache so please don't archive it.

Regards...

Will check this one out to see what has changed and whether I can find the cache container or not.
I'll replace and/or move if necessary.

Went to find this one with LukeV after an unsuccessful find. Eaton's seem to have fixed up the fence and either removed the cache or at any rate made it inaccessible.
 
18-Nov-12
Had a look around for this one. Couldn't find it. GPS was putting GZ in the private property though. Will have to come back for another look.
 
07-Oct-12
Found with troublegrub

Took a while, but finally solved it after a second attempt and a rethink of where it might be with LukeV

Almost called this one in as muggled. Found it in long grass. Replaced in a more appropriate position akin to its ilk. Awsome hide BTW first of its kind that I've encountered.

A very well made cache! it's not every day I take a photo of caches but this one was worth it. Found this one as an elderly lady on a scooter slooooowllly approached but I think we were discrete enough. Cheers!

2nd one like this today TFTC

Muggle was mowing area around GZ. Will come back for this another time.

First one! Awesome!!!!

Awesome cache. B-Rocks first cache ever
 
Came in through the back streets and Miss 4 was more interested in the cat on the nearby roof.
Managed to find it after searching the wrong area.
It happens.

I have found a few of theses containers before, so after reading the cache name and the hint i had a good idea what i was looking for and when i arrived at GZ the container was spotted pretty well straight away......

The thirteenth of many on a day out caching with spikeymikey and this was a clever cache, but luckily we have seen a few of these in Newcastle, and spikeymikey soon had the cache in hand.

A day of caching with TheHeadChef.
While THC was fiddling about, I quickly spied the odd on out and had it in hand.
Having seen a few of these recently, made it a bit easier.
Nice hide.

Found with blossom* and totally forgot to log! Thank goodness my gps remembered the date and time I logged!

I was a bit worried about this one - how could the local resident not see this?? Then strike-a-light found it and it all became clear Big Grin
 
06-Nov-11
A few folk at the front of Eatons but no one down the back of the yard. A dog was scratching and grawling through the fence on the other side of the walkway but I held my ground for the find. Many thanks CDM261.
 
23-Oct-11
now i may have the clue i need to solve that bloody fish fingers!
 
10-Oct-11
Last find on the way back to where we are staying after completing a few errands in Newcastle. Having seen this type of hide before made the hunt nice and easy. No muggles anywhere in sight this afternoon until we were finished and on the way out of the walkway. TFTC.
 
03-Oct-11
after 3 attempts I found it with a little help
 
16-Sep-11
Had to be very sparing with the use of the torch with the neighbours so close, but there are only so many spots it could be in.

Thanks.

Reperio at 1735. Last stop for the afternoon visiting some close to home caches, and I had been by here before at night, but when I saw how close the houses were, I simply walked away. Today I walked up to GZ a little more confident of not looking too suspicious, and spotted the cache almost straight away. An awkward spot to search without looking dodgy, but a nice use of this type of cache.

Gratias.

This was a fairly easy find for us, thanks to the fact that we own an identical cache container to this. We parked not far away from GZ and the GPS pointed us in the right direction and we soon had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

I think his one had moved slightly since last time and so I could now see it from the path. Great camouflage! TFTC
 
27-Aug-11
A great cache - well hidden, and fantastic cache container.

Even with hints, logs and etc, took us at least a good 15 minutes of searching to find this one, despite being practically on top of it the whole time.

Glad we did this one on the weekend - place was muggle free.

Last cache of the day, and a great way to stop.

TFTC!

Almost gave up on this one, but saw that it had been found earlier today. A bit of persistence yielded the cache. A tricky hide, very cool but glad we were looking on a Saturday. TFTC
 
27-Aug-11
Tftc good hide. Took a little while to find
 
27-Aug-11
We initially drove around the back streets and thought this was on private property but we quickly discovered the right path & had the well camouflaged cache in hand. Mr Chippyroo discovered that he'd lost his pen at a previous cache so we had to trek back to the car to (luckily) find a pencil before replacing the cache. TFTC.

Looked for this one twice with no luck. Felt like we could have been watched very easily.
 
16-Aug-11
We thought at first this was a strange place for a cache, but it was well hidden. Having found these before, the name gave us too much information and it was soon seen. Afterwards we had morning tea in our favourite Avondale bakery, highly recommended. Thanks for the hide.

Found while doing a cache run in the Morisset area. When arriving at GZ I aroused the suspicions of a couple of workers. It appears the hoodlums have made a game of kicking the palings of the fence. After a while the lost interest in me and I grabbed the cache. Thanks CDM
*Overall Experience:2*

Was visiting a friend up the road when I decided to grab this one. Loved the clue...but thats not what helped me find it. Sometimes you just got to stick your neck out! TFTC

This one came up after we had been in the area in the morning. Took the opportunity to grab this one as well as Jiminy Cricket to clear the area for us on holidays. Muggle dogs almost made us give it away lest the home owners chase us off. Loved the play on words. TFTC #474
