Decontamination Delta Brunswick, Victoria, Australia
By digitalformula on 22-Oct-11. Waypoint GC36C56

After the previous DNF, decided to do a cache check on the way home from failing to find Shopping Frenzy 5.

Sure enough, it's gone. That's pretty dang annoying, too, since it's my favourite container of all my hides ... it's also the last but two to not be muggled. Sigh.

Sorry all.

Searched high and low, as the GPS had me 5m into the tennis courts, so I used the PAF option of a previous finder who narrowed it down somewhat, but to no avail.
I see it hasn't been found in a month, hope it's not gone.
Thanks anyway digitalformula, great parkland, and so many clubs around.

Easy find nice park.

Cache is back in place

Found this morning,
After retrieving this cache, and while signing log, a power truck pulled up, and the workers just sat there having smoking. I am not able to return cache just now. Am visiting a client just up Vic st.
Will return cache in about an hr!!!
Apologies.

Cheers gordo

My first one and I enjoyed it

Found this one with geodude and noobs, noob actually found it haha thanks!

Had a small bit of trouble with this as it seemed i was on the wrong side of the fence. When i used the reference point i found the cache almost immediately. Park was quiet at 9.30pm so i could search and sign the log in peace. TFTC.

This took two goes at it to find it. Couldn't find it the first time I looked at it today, so went off to find another nearby cache and came back to this one.
Eventually found the cache ...... amazing what a new perspective does.

Great little camouflaged hiding spot. Forgot to bring a pen for the log. Oh well.

Found with auzziesamurai nice quick cache in the dead of night.

Found with tilla83 nice quick find hard to make out in the dead of night TFTC

Second time lucky.

It was getting dark and Jezbert and I searched one side of the fence and the other but to no avail.

Found at 4:11pm.
A stop in the area on the way home from a family lunch in a bid to get to 300 finds before our anniversary of caching tomorrow. This is 298.
A bit of an interrupted search with a few muggles around so took a few minutes to spot the cache. Took nothing but dropped in a troll. Thanks digitalformula for the cache in this lovely area.

10:10
How I couldn't find this a few weeks ago is beyond me... admittedly, it was dark and beginning to rain, but still...

A quick grab on the way out to Woodlands. Cool container, well placed.

Found in the company of lochb.
We had a little trouble trying to pin point the location of the cache, I think due to the tree cover.
There were also several muggles nearby, but they were focusing on other activities, not us, fortunatly.
Thanks digitalformula for this cache.

Found in the company of PrincessDiala. We weren't sure initially which side of the fence we were meant to be on, however it turned out that we had come from the right side. Cache was spotted quickly. TFTC

High muggle concentration on a Sunday afternoon but fairly easy find! TFTGC

New day,new perspective. Wasn't sure at first if it was a cache or something else

Geodog was not on patrol, never ever would he scare any muggles. Anyway we thought our lunch would help us look for the cache but it never helped.
we were not sure whether it was between the fences or on the park side. will try again soon.

Mattyboy

didn't take too long. but when i found it i relised that i had been looking at it for a while. TFTC!!!

Another dog walking cache close to our holiday abode. TFTCSL

Dogs are great distractors for muggles. T4TCSL

Today has been a bit of a funny day. I wasn't planning on knocking back this cache but I'm here and I also didn't expect to find it so suddenly especially since I haven't gone caching in awhile. I'm wondering if there was meant to be more to the camp though...

Easy find for this. Cheers.

Thanks for this point.
Regards
Stefan

Yay for Jojo and me! Our first cache!

Got the cahe mixed with the other stuff around intially, but persevered and eventaully earned the smilie. Thank you.

i had to be very quiet.
there was a couple playing tennis.

i was in and out pretty quick.

thanks digitalformula [:x]

Surprisingly today the aarea near GZ was quiet at 3:30pm.

I had to spend a little time looking before I spotted the clever cammo.

A quick log sign and I was on my way.

TFTC

A nice raining afternoon and evening for a cache run west of home to grab some of those newer caches that seem to pop up in areas I've already cleared as well as grab some oldies that I have only just solved. The day started wet, and ended the very same way, not that I was going to complain. It's nice to cache in all weather, and you know there are less muggles about when it's raining. With only a couple of DNF’s the cache run was relatively successful. This was one cache I picked up on my travels. Sheltering under the bush I found the cache quickly. thanks digitalformula.

Struggled a bit with accurate GPSr location today - it was playing up under the trees (that's my excuse!). So it took me a while to find.
Actually, it took me a while to start searching as there were a small group of elderly muggles giving a poor small ball a hard time with huge wooden clubs!
A nice park.
Thanks, Robmc.

Sorry for the late log. This was a fun cache on a quiet Sunday morning. Took a bit of finding and I wasn't sure I had found it!! Enjoy something different. Thanks digitalformula for the nice hide.

Found with Jimmymaff

We where in the area, as we had been to a Twilight Zoo concert the night before.

What to do on a Sunday morning, caching of course.

Was not a quick find.

We looked and looked, then we looked some more, as it turned out Jimmymaff found it. I had even poked it with a stick, as other cachers have logged, did not think it was part of the cache. Great use of camo.

Once I sorted out the dilemma with the coords and then finally summoned enough courage to enter the domain of the heavily webbed GZ I made a swift find - the hide is cleverly cammoed. I did, However spot the camo BUT assumed it had nothing to do with the hide.....very nicely done.

Thx DF for a sneaky hide.

Checked cache placement - definitely in the wrong place. Cache is now back where it should be. Thanks Riddell for alerting me.

Geocachers ... *please* make sure you return the cache back to *exactly* where you found it. Thanks.

Found on the ground.
I have returned it to the fence line where I think it belongs. Please recheck the placement.
TFTC

Took a few passes before I eventually found it. Watch out for muggles, there seems to be a fair bit of foot traffic around the area.

Lovely park easy find

11.55 Out on my own today and it has bought me to this very interesting park. There is a massive party going on inside the sporting arena but its far away that I can look safely. The co ords were about 5 metres our for me but soon had the excellent little hide in hand.
Good hide digitalformula, thanks for the cache.

Nicely hidden in plain site, when you knew where to look

Spladem and C@H picked me up late in CBD and beside the 2 x FTF we got some more around here - assisted caching. Many thanks from Berlin!

After grabbing two FTF's in the area with Spladem and CarryFlag we where looking for some more caches to do. We grabbed this one on the way back to the CBD to crop Carryflag off. Spladem had already found this one. The park was full of people for suck a late time. TFTC

Second time trying to find this one, got it easier in the daytime, tftc.

Nice hide. Like the container. Took awhile due to phone gps taking us in wrong direction. Got there in the end. Tftc

Took a while to find but great hide nice coverage. Tftc like doing Ur caches

Found it! Nice cheeky little cache

Got to GZ and was thankfully well-hidden from tennis muggles over the fence. A short sortie didn't work. A think and another short sortie then had the well-matching cache, thanks digitalformula.

Number 8 of 8 on my ride home from work tonight. Nicely done with a good sized cache - thanks digital formula.

Great container, well-hidden with its camo colour. Used the waypoint to narrow down the location a little, was helpful. I even read everything on the container... it would be pretty scary to have to use this item. Cheers!

Found by The Empire @ about 2ishpm
The taco van was here and seedy people had come from all of their hippy rental properties to taste he mexican flavours, sit on the grass and test out their Ray-Bans. They were wearing grunge clothes like it was 1992 but calling it "Indie", girls were wearing black tights as pants (tights aren't pants!) and boys were wearing short pink shorts like they were going to Mardi-Gra! Is that a bleak impression of the average Brunswickian? Probably. Apologies. Found quickly then into the city shopping. Thanks for the cache, digitalformula.
- M

nicely hidden. Watch out for the possums!

Team BAPHA found this while walking geodog. You may want some hand sanitizer after rummaging around for this one. Thanks for the cache.

Nicely placed find.
TFTC

All was well here this morning. The camo was in place and the sneaky hide eluded me for a few minutes. I used to play croquet here years ago so it was a very familiar place for me.
Thanks digitalformula

Easy find, as unfortunately the container was exposed. I put things back how I believe they should have been; if the cache owner sees this log they might like to check.

Read the whole description. Loved the container. Tfth.

found this one pretty easily, nice badge and slinky, 9 metres north of the gps co-ords definitely, placed a super cool sticker in there, cheers digitalformula!

This was the first of two this evening where I found the coordinates to be out by some distance so maybe the O3 is playing up . It took me quite a few minutes to find this one, and that included a read of the clue and some previous logs, but just as I was about to give it up for another day, I headed north by around 9 metres and had the sneaky hide in hand at 19:25 to mark our 2900th find .

TNLNSL, although a few of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks digitalformula.

PS: There was no sign of either Lady Bug 2 or Peanut's Travels TBs in the cache.

Not sure ehat I was doing wrong here but was having no joy.

When the old lady muggle walking her dog close by decided she needed to watch me intensely I pulled out for another day.

From here on in, the lead up to Christmas is starting, so I was please to be able to fit in a few cache finds this morning. I am trying to clear out the 10km circle around my house and this cache was within range. My last cache before lunch and the traffic wasn’t co-operating in getting me here (let’s not even talk about the trip home after this cache). It took me ages to find, as I mistook the very simple and obviously effective camo as rubbish, and as a regular urban cacher, I just get sick of pocking around in other people rubbish. Got it in the end. Thanks for the cache digitalformula..
P.S. There was no sign of the two travellers who are meant to be in this cache.

Found @ 15:00hrs.
Thanks for the cache,but it also took me a while to locate.

This one took us ages! Thankfully Phil found it before I tore my hair out. Took badge & left another badge. TFTC

Good Find late at night, took tb and gc. didn't feel they would be that safe here for some reason.. so I shall be moving them on shortly.. but left a slinky and a badge, it looked a tad empty. (00.12) TFTC!

Found 14:00, after a brief search. A clever use of Camo

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks digitalformula.

Soon found, trackables were inside, thanks for putting it here.

Having a look at the parks of Brunswick, an area we have ignored for some strange reason thus far in our caching. Yet it's not so far from home. Every night after we have put the children to bed the dog starts barking at us hoping we'll take her out caching. Tonight she wasn't disappointed. Was a little bit tricky but drjim7 found it after exploring something we would usually ignore.

Sneaky hide, and after reading the instructions quickly started looking for a tap! T4TC

Suscoe found this tricky little fellow this afternoon.
No sign of the TBs, only the log book.
Wonder where they have disappeared to????????
Anyway this was a clever hide and had us going for a while.
Thanks to digitalformula for bringing us here.
The croquetmuggles were happy too!

Headed out tonight for my usual Thursday night caching run with my best mate Marshy (Blacklagend), whome I meet up with once a fortnight these days. A good night where we picked up about eleven puzzles as well as our usual mix of other caches a challenge or two and munzees.
This one took quite a while to find and we were trying to be a bit stealthy due to the muggles in the nearby tennis complex. We had to phone a friend for some more direction and even then it took a bit more effort to locate the hide.
Grabbed a couple of TB's as well.
Well hidden though and TFTC.

One of about 28 for this fortnights caching run. Another legendary night run, and found with my best mate and caching buddy Marty (Quasar3671). After meeting up with Marty earlier in the evening, doing a few caches and breaking for dinner, we resumed after nightfall.

This one took quite a while to find, however we were a bit cautious due to people playing tennis nearby... Anyway, we were forced to phone a friend, and then soon after had the cache in hand. TFTC.

We wanted to look for this cache when it first came up as it was not far from home but it was raining on the day. This time we found it on a late warm Sunday afternoon. It was not as difficult as what the rating suggested. We saw 2 travel bugs in the container but decide not to take them as we have been caching rather irregularly. We need more caches like this in Brunswick and surounds. Thanks for the cache.

TB drop

On a quiet Sunday afternoon I waited for ages for the weather to clear up before getting on the bike and going for a quick ride. The weather didn't remain clear but it didn't stop me from tracking down this great little cache. SL TFTC.

Nice hide - spent a fair while looking but just kept going til I found that slight indication of something that didn't quite belong - TFTC

*ftf* w 80deg n alsume.. log to folloe

Having given up on this one in the rain on Monday, today's better weather drew me for another look. Arriving at GZ and spotted a couple of characters behaving suspiciously near GZ. Turned out to be 80degrees and spladem. With three pairs of eyes looking spladem put a hand on it at approx 4pm in an area I had been very close to on Monday. After a chat, spladem and 80degrees headed off for some more caching and I headed for another trip to Bunnings!
Left Ladybug TB
thanks digitalformula

**** FTF **** along with Spladem and Alsume. We went out and looked at this one in the rain and fading light the other evening but didn't have any luck. After consulting the CO Mr 80 had an early work finish today so headed back. Whilest searching a familiar face appeared over his shoulder - Spladem. We both continued the search with frustration levels rising then decided to call the CO for extra help - whilst on the phone Alsume also came back for another look. With 3 pairs of eyes and a little help the elusive cache was turned up. A triple FTF today. Thanks digitalformula for making for interesting afternoon. Now with the Ump busy yet again - headed off with Spladem for another hunt.

Come on geocachers, come and get it! FTF is still up for grabs! :-O

Difficulty up from 2.5 to 3.0, purely because 80degrees couldn't find it on first attempt.

In case anyone's wondering, yes, it's still there (checked at 14:50, October 25th).
