Apologies for the delay. Will try to get it back up either this week or next
I couldnt seem to find this one today :/
Had a good look around but have a feeling it may not be here anymore. There is some construction going on right at GZ, as there is a fenced off area with tape.
It hasnt been found for over 3 months now, so it may have gone walkabout.
Might try this one another time

After a weeks work in Canberra I stayed on for the weekend to spend time with relatives, including attending a church service across the road from this cache. It took a few minutes to track down. Cleverly hidden. TFTC.

I halted at GZ, spotted something suspicious, and uncovered a cache.

It's a nice late Autumn day in Canberra. Me Mum's been in hospital for a couple of days, but she got out yesterday, and is fine. The GeoSchnauzers and I have had no exercise for the last couple of days. So today is ours!!! This is the sixth of what was seventeen for the day. I needed facilities, and this cache was nearby, so I looked for it. It was a quick find, and a very good cache. Thanks!!! No muggles.
A good cache to get late at night. During the day the area would be crawling with Muggles. Cache number 8 in our cache a day challenge.
Honours go to Mrs Red_V for spotting this one.

After spending this rather wet morning Geocaching with work mates Primary Evidence, Sergio & Gabor, I spotted this one from several meters away. Seen 3 of these today. No real muggles, they're all inside where its dry, except for one onlooking mum & daughter, but its all good. Replaced cache as found. Thanks Jezza10.

#1495 - 20:05; The weather being too hot for a serious caching run, decided to try for a couple on the 'to do' list of caches I'd previously tried to find in the dark without success. Made my way to GZ this evening determined to leave no stone unturned and was fortunate that there was nobody else about while I did a bit more methodical a search than my previous effort a few months ago. I soon spied something promising and voila, cache in hand and log signing duties completed. A little experience goes a long way I think! TFTC Jaydothetornado
The kids were both in school so I had the most of the day to myself, and with the cooler weather, I decided that a geocaching bike ride was in order. I parked at Kippax and this was the last cache of 22 I found today. SL TFTC

My second find for the day. I don't think any muggles saw me despite the location.

Thank you for replacing the cache. We returned and found it without difficulty. Our last cache find for 2013. TFTC.
Happy New Year.

We've looked for this one a few times without luck. Even though we have found lots of these containers in the past, this one really seems to blend into the surroundings. Found with Akito10 & Commando04.

Found with Commando04 & GLISS! We had found a similar container earlier but this one blends into the surrounds so well that it took a while before it was spotted.

GLISS! & I have tried to find this one before without luck, this time we came up with a find. Yay! Usually I can easily spot these containers but this one blends in very well.

Nice quick find this time. Geokid had this one in hand while my GPS settled. Not quite sure how swaps would fit though

Our 8112nd overall find.
On the way out of Canberra today Shell was nearby enjoying a coffee and grabbed a cache while here. A nice easy find.

Found with GrimRaider on a lunchtime cache hunt. We ended up having our lunch in the kiddies park which made this a close one to go for. GR had spotted in no time. TFTC Jezza10 - nice one!
Ahh, another trip down memory lane! I remember when this was all paddock, not a shop in sight. This was a good find with KittyKatch whilst we were lunching after going for a FTF. Nice work getting this one to blend in in plain sight. Favourite point from me for bravery in the face of electricity! [:-)]
Cheers,
GrimRaider.

While dear Syridian was the first to find after the revamp, I got to be first to sign!
Thanks for the cache - easy to find, even at night as long as you have your caching eye in.

Been wanting to find this one for a while, and now I have, I don't have a pen on me... Need to return later. Nice hide!
I came past when in the area and couldnt see it. I had a fairly good look round and no sign. I think its gone
Just browsing through possible caches to pick up on a run.... me thinks this may need a check up?
Found this one on a geocaching trip around the area. Well actually, just found the log and a pencil on the ground so tried to hide it back where the coords led us. TFTC Jezza10
Plenty of time to look at 10pm. Still here? Looked at every tree in cooee and tge round electric thing
I had a picture in my head of where I would find this one and what it would look like. Was I ever wrong. TFTC
Found at 5.00 Saturday afternoon
Took a while ad GPs was not playing the game
Then saw something a bit different

Great camo had an onlooking muggle watching my every move so plonked my backside on the ground and pretended to make a phone call while signin the log. Worked a treat hahha TYFC
Another interesting hide and quick find on my way to work. Thanks Jezza for the hunt.
Lots of muggles but with the geokid in tow at least we had an excuse to be skulking around the playground.
Happy to be the first to sign new log role:)

A quick find.
It appears that Delta Responce Team got to the area and found the log, but not the container. He would probably have only been a couple of minutes after me, because we met each other at one of the nearby caches.
It was pretty quiet when I found the container - no one within cooee. Well, not that I noticed.
Now I feel bad.

=) haha isn't it great when a classic camo cache container just blends and works so well..... the crazy cachers brightskies and zita&enzo made this cache even more enjoyable , finding and not saying anything then walking to an area and saying they found it , completely throwing me off my game with their psyche, god damn maniacs , nearly as bad as the muggles in the park we had to stealthily avoid.... TFTC =)
Found it... Well sorta, I found the log just lying on the ground. A quick look at the log said that vombatus2 had beaten me to the cache but it would seem the a muggle had been in the interim

Found with Ayepeacee and Brightskies who were on a short visit from Brisbane. This one took far too long - its so tricky! We weren't confident with all the DNFs, but we stuck with it and eventually Enzo moved away and then confirmed he had found it. Zita was next, then Brightskies and we really enjoyed then watching Ayepeacee look everywhere but the right spot. We ended up having to help the poor thing out and then we quickly signed the log. Ayepeacee drowned his sorrows with three sausages from the sausage sizzle outside the shops. A very sneaky hide which we really enjoyed. TNLNSL TFTC
This was fun. Ayepeacee and I were visiting zita&enzo from Brisbane this weekend and grabbing a few caches in the sunshine this arvo. This was tricky - I looked all over those electrical boxes. Soon enough enzo found the cache and walked away. Zita then did the psych - and walked to enzo to announce she had found it. I followed suit and did the same thing. We then all giggled and watched ayepeacee struggle to find the cache. He got there in the end. TFTC Jezza10, we had lots of fun finding it ^^
This makes it four DNF's in a row for this cache. We parked in the shopping centre car park and searched at GZ for some time but no sign of a cache.
The second time both Hoojar and I have visited this one without success . What are we doing wrong?
A quick find while waiting to get a take away dinner. A few muggles about but no issues making the find.

We tried this one on a late wet winter Saturday afternoon. I was hoping that the awful weather and temperature would keep people indoors - not the case. We did try to find this one discretely but at some stage someone was going to get suspicious so we called off the search. Will again another time.
Good hide - quickly spotted by fellow cacher DVixen.

Found it after while of looking when walking to the bus in the mornings. There weren't too many people around today which helped. TFTC.
Found @ 1810 on a quick run after a combination of work commitments and general laziness called a halt to my recent caching endeavours. It took far longer than anticipated to lay my hands on this one and I felt mighty visible wandering the area searching by torchlight, but once located the retrieve was suitably stealthy and the log dutifully signed. TNLNSL-TFTC.
Found back in May with Code1. A very busy place but everyone was to busy going about there buisness to worry about what were doing. Quite offen end up at this end of town when we come caching down here.

Arrived for a meal at the nearby club but needed some more batteries for the GPS so walked up to get some before the shop closed and grab this on the way.
It took less time to find and sign this nice little hide than it did to go into the supermarket, buy the packet of batteries and get through the checkout.
Never seen so many people do their shopping on a Sunday evening.

444. Found whilst doing a short caching run after work. Quite happy that this one was quickly secured. Found in the cover of darkness. TFTC.
We return again to a different incantation of a cache in this location. We spent quite a while here last time but couldn't find it, perhaps because it was gone. Nice hide. TFTC.
We had a look for the original HALT! at some stage but never found it. Heading to this cache I remembered the search and was hoping it wouldn't be the same. We weren't there long before shinydragon had located the cache. With the log signed, and the relief of having found it this time we were off.
GPS had already called a halt having had it's batteries die at the last cache....got back to the car to find it was about to call a halt if I didn't (a) put fuel in it for a short-term solution, and (b) fix the fuel pump for a longer-term solution... discovered that the body was also about to call a halt if it didn't get breakfast....it was after 11am by this time and had been going for a while. Hmmm....so I might head towards Halt2 as there is a servo right there where I was fairly sure I would be able to procure enough goods to un-halt all above items....well....except for maybe the fuel pump. And I was right! Petrol, Double-A's and an orange and poppy-seed muffin later, the cache was found.
No luck finding the 1st version as always too many muggles...New GZ a lot quieter, managed to spot it quickly, although did help to have seen this type before. Thanks.
Needed to bring Miss 4 here for this cache.
The local playground would have amused her.
The cache under the muggles noses amuses me.
Thanks for placing this cache.
