MrD and I got to GZ and found the lid out in the open but no box. Looked everywhere but no evidence of it's remains. So we signed the lid (see photo) and replaced where the hint says it should be. Needs some TLC. TFTC

Thanks to everyone that stopped by here over the years. It has been here a while, and it has been a long time since I adopted it from fluffyfish. However, it is time to let it go.

Found with Brew just prior to its being archived. As all we found was a lid, that's what was signed. Logged with permission of the CO.

OCW lok212325 and Rodney1210. As we approached the bridge, rodney went left and lok went right. I was torn between them and didn’t know which way to go! Following lok seemed like the shorter route and by the time I made my way to GZ, she yells out “he’s found it!” Rodney made a quick find here. What a great sized cache! TFTC!
 
21-Oct-17
Had a great day out caching with coastblue and rodney1210.

This was my 50th find.
It was really cool hide. A good one for a small milestone.

Nice big box, the way I like them. TFTC.

Parked at the tafe near the bus zone and walked round to make a find far enough from the action which didn't make it awkward. TFTC!
 
31-Dec-16
Found it! Geokid #1 was very excited to play with all the bits and bobs and learn that there are such big "treasure chests" near where we live!

A very quick and easy one, but probably would have been better off wearing more appropriate footwear.

TFTC!

Found on the way home from work and going to training. Quite a daunting one when you are looking for this one with so much traffic flying by.

The cache was not hidden very well so once I signed the log I placed it back in its spot.

OCW P2015 and BTM today after visiting the grandparents. Parked a short distance away and went to dive in for the cache only to be met with 3 large 8 legged beasts! Not my day for avoiding these today. So we back peddled and went round the long way to grab this one. Dropped TB. TFTC

Signed back in to the gc website. Backlogging a majority of finds over the last year. Started my own account and it's time to sync it out. To avoid confusion I wont change the date logged. Send me an email (via profile link) or a message in the message centre (also via profile link) if you have any concerns.

Finalf29 was war-gaming down at UOW, so I thought I could do a bit of geocaching in the area. Ended up getting fourteen from nineteen. Had a great day but did miss my geocaching buddy...I had to deal with all the spider webs myself!

This was my eleventh for the day. Little bit of a scramble but didn't take long to retrieve cache. Thanks for making people aware of Para Meadows.

A quick cache on my way home from visiting the Nan Tien Temple. Scratched my head for a minute, then realised that I was at the wrong Z co-ord. Quick drop of TB, picked up teddy bear TB. TFTC.
 
23-Feb-16
Thought this would be a quick park & grab, but it was a bit more of a scramble than that. Definitely need to wear sensible clothes and shoes for this one! Dropped off a trackable - Amore the Teddy Bear who is apparently trying to make it to Louisiana, USA.

This is a drop off for 2 Geocoins and 1 Trackable that I had regrettably lost in my possession all too long ago.

I cannot apologise enough to the Geocoin/Trackable owners enough, I just hope the news of them re-circulating is a positive.

The 3 items:
California dreamin´ Mapamundi Geocoin
Eriks Freund II.
Eternal Jay Geocoin

Good luck everyone, please make sure these treasures get moved along.

Turned off the Drive and attacked this one from the safe side. A quiet and barmy morning saw me locate the find fairly easily. Signed the log and re-hid the cache. TFTC Hoojar.

Nice night cache. From the driver's perspective, it must have looked a little bit illegal. Watch out for spiders!
