Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.

I don't know why a previous finder thinks this one needs maintenance. Yes the nano is a little rusty on the base but it is still magnetic & opens easily. Perhaps it has already been 'maintained', anyway it's fine now.signed log CW to save space. TFTC
 
06-Oct-15
It's rusted! Couldn't open the canister:(

Not too many places to hid a nano here so it was quite a quick find TFTC

Not a bad morning 3 out of 3 in 30 minutes. TFTC.
 
03-Sep-15
A sneaky hide here bit a systematic search of GZ soon had this one to hand Big Grin.

With the weather starting to get a bit better and the days lengthening out, I headed away from home early this morning to grab some smileys on the way to work. This was one of the targets for the day!

Zodiakhorizon - jinta29 found your cache ZH's Nano-Virus - Corruption on 3/09/2015 5:36 am. This is my find #3717 and find #1 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

 
31-Jul-15
Heading home, enough light left to grab a cache.

Was wondering where this cache was going to be when I parked up but as I approached GZ I realised what it would be on.

Log was wet so have replaced with new log sheet.

Zodiakhorizon I found your cache ZH's Nano-Virus - Corruption on 30/07/2015. This is my find #3486. TFTC.

Great spot been here about 2 times trying to find found it Smile
 
08-Nov-14
Wow, there are some shoebox style houses out here. I was surprised at how much this area has grown. This looked like an original nano complete with original log which surprised me given the precarious location. There was some room still at the end of the log so I signed my initials before replacing. Thanks Zodiakhorizon.
 
24-Aug-14
Finally found it! Looking in the wrong place last time! Good hide!
 
03-Aug-14
On the road with JoshyJayPlay doing a Sunday cache run.....picked up most caches today...TFTC

Lucky we didn't drop it.....
 
13-Dec-13
With the day really starting to warm up by this stage, we got a little bit sneaky and drove right up to GZ.
We made a nice quick find, although extracting it was another story. Nothing a good multi tool couldn't fix though.
Thanks for the cache zodiakhorizon!
 
13-Dec-13
Headed out with MNS13 & our youngest today to find a couple caches, in between trying to remain cool in this heat Surprised MNS13 was quickly onto this one, no need to even get the kids out of the car... Extraction did cause a bit of a problem, lucky we had a handy tool for the job [^] TFTC Zodiakhorizon!

Found by my sister MalNatBur while put grabbing a few caches before picking the kids up from school. Took one look at the structure n thought great hope we don't lose it. TFTH

09-Jul-13
What an optimistic way to start a day's caching - with some ZH Nanos! But it sure does help to be in company with a previous finder! This was the fourth and last of the ones attempted. Will have to save the rest of these little blighters for another day.
Thanks for the cache Zodiakhorizon.

Out for the arvo to clear up the virus's and this was last on the list. Had a quick find here but retrieving took awhile, signed the log then had another problem returning it. Sorted it all out and its ready for the next person to catch the virus. I'm starting to like these virus's Razz
TFTC TFTH and TFTS Zodiakhorizon.......
 
10-Apr-13
Out with skippy 46 to try and find the last 5 of the nano virus. we found 4 and im sure the last one was missing. we found this one really quick but the hardest part was getting it out as it seemed to be stuck in its hidey hole. With a few differant tools we got it out and signed the log and hopefully it wont be so hard for the next person to get it out. TFTC Zodiakhorizon
 
01-Apr-13
After having done home owner jobs for 3 days in a row on the Easter Holiday weekend I decided I deserve Easter Monday off and enjoy the day doing some caching so I didn't say no this time when mistraluna asked if I wanted to come out to play.
I think we picked the sneaky series!

TFTH
 
01-Apr-13
Caught the train up today and was picked up by Me&B at Cockburn station. Found this one on the second lap around the area. Another sneaky hide. Thanks Zodiakhorizon
 
30-Oct-12
While out and about in the Hammond Park area we decided to scout this one out. A quick search and it was soon found on the 2nd look. Sl TFTC ZH

Quick find in the middle of a very busy day TFTH
 
29-Feb-12
Took advantage of the 2012 leap year to find some additional caches. Slowly working through the Nano - Virus and in doing so attempting to kill the virus off forever. I eventually got on top of this one after an extraction problem or two.

I think this only leaves the Nano-Kids Night Hunt. I will need to rent some kids before I tackle it, preferable kids that know where to look!!!!!

Thanks Zodiakhorizon.
 
12-Feb-12
Joined forces with iluvtrekking for a caching foray in the area. Tricky nano and as others have logged it is the extraction that is crucial here.
 
12-Feb-12
Found with richlink. Tricky retrieval. TFTH
 
22-Jan-12
Very easy cache. SL TFTC

Easy find, extraction was another matter.

Nice gc easy find!!! No muggles around!
 
02-Jan-12
My first GC. Took me a bit to find it but I got it.
 
02-Jan-12
Currently on holidays, I have been doing lots of chores etc around home as the geowife was still at work. Finally on a piblic holiday she was home and we had nothing planned so I took off caching for the morning. The plan was to try and grab some nanos. I love nanos as they are ususally easy to find Wink

I arrived at gound zero only to have a muggle park his van directly over the road from me. He looked at me a couple of times as I walked around the structure so I wandered off. When he went away I came back for another look without joy. I thought about it for a moment and checked out some more spots. Sure enough, there was the cache. I used the back of the keytags that I had to extract it from its hide and got out of there as fast as I could before the muggle started checking me out again.

Thanks once more Zodiak Horizon

Cheers Cool

Quick find. Spotted the nano immediately on arrival at GZ. Tricky to remove and replace. SL. TFTH Zh.
 
31-Dec-11
While the park was empty today, there was a lot of traffic movement around courtesy of the neighbours. I missed the cache on my first sweep of the object, and was just perusing the previous logs, when I looked up and spotted it right in front of me! Excellent!

Luckily I had my extraction tool with me this time, and it wasn't long before I had the cache in hand (but the tool nearly fell in the drink...).

Thanks for the cache ZH!
 
30-Dec-11
Found during a morning caching run with Mr & Mrs FelixII. This one had me stumped but the expertise of the Felix' paid dividends.
 
30-Dec-11
Met up today with Tanzanite1982 to join forces for a morning caching. 3 pairs of eyes better than 2, you know.

Well after her previous DNF, here Mrs Felix didn't really even look. Left it to Tanzanite and Mr Felix. Almost gave up, and Mr Felix came up trumps. I looked there previously!!!!! (foot stamping)

Hmmmm TFTC (maybe, sort of) Zodiakhorizon. That was Twisted
 
17-Dec-11
We thought that we would tackle some nanos today and we were pleasantly surprised that we not only found most of them but we had a really good day doing it Smile.

We knew where this had to be hidden but it still took a few minutes to locate it.
Thanks ZH
 
13-Dec-11
With all the overnight rain we had there was a large puddle around this one. I got wet feet retrieving it. It proved a little difficult to extract the cache from it's location, the little sucker just didn't want to let go.
TFTC
 
08-Dec-11
Thanks LCollinge for the check up.... will do a run around on the Nano Virus/Verse series in teh next week or so and maybe add a few more!
 
08-Dec-11
One is like a gold fish in a bowl finding and then extracting this little fellow. Mugglers everywhere!! Log book completely filled. TFTC
 
07-Dec-11
I checked today on my way past & this one is definitely still there, in original hiding spot that I found a few months ago. Just for those wondering Smile:)
 
04-Dec-11
Big GrinRazz The Geoson has his learners Permit, what better way to give him some driving experience than to cache. So as the rest of the family got ready for Sunday Trading, we headed out .
[^] Cool

I had a quick search at what looked like a likely spot, but the search was interupted by lots of muggles converging on the park, will be back on another day.
 
03-Dec-11
With the guidance and hints from geo niece found quickly TFTC
 
02-Dec-11
Yep, another pesky nano!!!!!!!! This one being more peskier than the last. Not sure how me missed this one since above there are a couple of finds since I logged.

Well deserved of the crow eater nano rant. You know you want it: Wink

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Thanks to Zodiakhorizon and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Oh dear three of us couldn't see anything even no clue/hint grrrrrr.... LOL.
Thanks.
 
02-Dec-11
Out on a caching run into the Southern Suburbs with Everlasting and Team Astro.

No luck for our group here! Even phoned a friend but still no luck. The object was full of water so possibly the cache has been washed away?
 
31-Oct-11
3 out of four for new series...thanks again ZH

Logistics relatively tricky but found it pretty quickly. One of many in a four hour ZH nano-a-thon.TFTC

Had tried for the two caches between Infection and here but this was the first one found. Coordinates had us at the wrong object but eventually ignored that and soon found the nano.

Thanks for the cache.
