I went to check this one out when I was in the area the other day. The cache is still there, just the camouflage had fallen away - so why is this one archived?
The first one I found all by myself. It was easy to find the coordinates and from there it was just a bit of a search - just not sure how long the hiding place is going to hold out, it is a bit fragile.
This cache needs maintenance - I will get out there in the next few days and fix it up. Apologies - thelovemores
Got to this one via walking from ted's toybox and went yeah right where is it. Read the clue and said yeah ok where is it. While searching I found it on the ground. Dont know where it was hidden but put it back near where I found it TFTC
Unusually for me, I found this in the first place I put my hand. The camo is disintegrating a bit but I put it back as best I could. Nice hide.

Very well hidden. Was about to move on but was inspired by the Spindoctor's log and found it in a spot I'd already checked. Just had to go in further. TFTC
Had to come back out and get one more before going out tonight for around 60. Certainly crafty. TFTC
Did this one on the way home from another cache, a little bit of a tricky hide. SL TFTC
A bit of a wet day today with light rain. Still managed to get some good caches located. Soon had this one found. SL TFTC

A bit tricky to find as it was completely covered, but managed in the end.

This little fella was out in the open so i gave him a nice little blanket of camo.7th out of 10 today,tftc.
As it was International Geocaching Day, we thought we should try and find a cache, even though the weather was a bit dodgy. This is one of closest caches to home, so it was nice to cross it off the list. We were able to play on the basketball courts for a bit while we waited for the soccer players to leave the area. Once they'd gone it was an easy find. TFTC.
I was more interested in climbing in the "woods" than in playing with my ball on the basketball courts. When it was time to find the cache I went with Dad for the short walk through the bush, and I was able to find the cache.
I had a nice time being out and about in the pouch, and watching Dad and my brother find the cache. I'm a bit young to be going scrambliong through the bush just yet.
Sunday afternoon and not a basketball player to be seen. Looks like this cache has been pretty busy today though 
Thanks thelovemores.
Thanks thelovemores.
The male half of The Spindoctors headed out this afternoon to find some geocaches in the area. It took a bit of time working out where to park, but once that was done we walked across the basketball courts where some local kids were playing a game that involved scooters. Too complicated for us to work out. We then ventured into the pocket of adjoining bushland and started our hunt. It felt like a needle in a haystack, so we resorted to the clue. With a bit of prodding, Zac made the find. With the log signed he rehid it - and did a very good job for a 3.5 year old.
I was planning to go for this one first today, being the closest trad to home unfound but went out to the new cache at Norwest first and dropped by here on the way home. It was Wednesday sport day so the local high school kids were on the soccer field and tennis courts but no basketball was happening so I was good to go. The Google Maps picture shows this in the middle of the court but of course it isn't. Followed the GPSr to the clue spot and spotted the cache - a bit peeking out from the added camo made it easier. Signed and replaced and covered up a bit better.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I guess by my arrival in the dead of night, I made this one more difficult than necessary!
Strolled easily to within 2 metres of GZ via the basketball courts and then found myself stopped dead in my tracks within sight of my goal . . .
Bush bashing at 1am is never much fun, but we do these things while geocaching and I guess it's character building.
In any case, the little cache container was right where it was supposed to be and in good shape. TNLNSL.
Many thanks to thelovemores for another one.

Cache Hunt 635; GAFF3; Weather, Sunny; Helpers, None; Cache condition, Great; Find of the day, 1st; STATUS, ** 2TF **; GPSr at GZ - 4m
This morning, there was still no log, so on the way to work I drove by, parked and walked up to the Basketball courts. Walked over to GZ and started searching around. After a few minutes I checked the hint, still not knowing if i'd be there first.
Finally found the little bison and unrolled the log. It was looking good, until I got right to the end
. Couldn't make out the name, but someone was there at 7am, way before my 9am time. SL @ 2TF and replaced. Nice one the lovemores, TFTC.

Nice one the lovemores, TFTC.Seeing as this one was published yesterday and not wanting to brave the unpredictable weather yesterday I thought I would leave this one for a few days. Waking up this morning I had a quick check and there still were no logs (hummm. need to check on my caching addiction level). I thought I would drive in to work and stop off here on the way in.
Parked the car, went for the a short walk to GZ and started the search. Cache in hand shortly after. As i start to unroll the log... anticipation starts... surely this could not be a FTF in this neck of the woods after it has been a whole night in the wild ...... and then there is was ... a BLANK log sheet..... YAY FTF
If there was anybody nearby (which there wasn't), they would have been greeted by a guy wearing a suit, rummaging in the bush, an amusing sight.
Thanks for the hide thelovemores
P.S Sorry alfyboy, thats my unintelligible scrawl
