MIght just archive this one for now, at a loss to what to replace it with. Is a very busy spot here and have unfortunately, had to replace it once before.

Thanks to all who found it before it dissapeared.
 
12-Nov-13
Finally got round to checking this cache this afternoon and it is no longer there, unfortunately. Will have a good hard think about what to do as far as replacement, obviously the hide was a beauty but just not the right type or right location for such device. Should have something, probably not as interesting, up and in place soon.

Great camo, as everone asserts. Off to Penola to see if there are any caches in caves

08-Jun-13
Really cool hide. Tftc
 
25-May-13
Finally found this one after it was put back by porker. Makes me feel better that it wasn't my caching skills rise resulted in a DNF previously Very Happy

TFTC
 
24-May-13
Found when travelling to Ararat to allow Mrs M to attend a family reunion.

We loved the building, but the cache was a little difficult to find. Mr M did it by feel alone, which should amuse future finders. TFTC onefatporker.
 
24-May-13
Very good place,don't like a chew
 
23-May-13
First time.. Found it easy Wink

16-May-13
Have just replaced Cache, same location, same type of cache. all details as applied to initial cache still apply. Thank you and happy hunting.
 
13-May-13
Evening, will check and replace it tomorrow, 14.5.13, if necessary.
 
08-May-13
DNF, I'd say its gone, I couldn't find it either, should have been easy if it was still here.
 
03-May-13
Another dnf do not believe its their after so many in a row.
 
30-Mar-13
Looked for quiet a while but we couldn't find the cache. Will try again on another occasion
 
24-Mar-13
Can you please see if the cache is still there. [?]
 
11-Mar-13
Looked and looked but couldnt find it
 
11-Mar-13
Spent a while loking but couldnt find it
 
27-Jan-13
Found, while visiting the area.
A good hide, no muggles around.
TFTC
 
26-Jan-13
Reading the logs we thought it might be one of these and it was just a matter on not making a spectacle of ourselves. TFTC.
 
26-Jan-13
No lock with the satellite, luckily not the first hide of this type that I have seen so the cache was soon discovered.
 
24-Jan-13
Found this one - after a bit of a search - on an overnighter in Horsham en-route to Adelaide. Nobody was around on this 36 degree evening and once this sneaky cache was found we went out for a well deserved dinner. These old government buildings were built to last and I'm sure that this one has many tales to tell! Thanks onefatporker.
 
09-Jan-13
Knew what to look for this time.
 
30-Dec-12
Drove past earlier but there were people everywhere. I came past later on and the place was mine. However, I looked and looked but to no avail. Perhaps next time when I am in Horsham I will have another crack at this one.
 
27-Dec-12
New to geocaching and went back twice to find it without any luck. First time was a little crowded. Early evening visit easier. Must be well hidden. Will be back to have another go next time we are in Horsham.
 
12-Dec-12
Oh this cache placement is just evil Twisted
I wandered past on three separate occasions this morning and the crowds just kept getting bigger each time [:o]
2:00 am might be the time to try this one Smile
But I wouldn't bet on it !!
 
30-Nov-12
After a few attempts at this one I finally got an opportunity at midnight with nobody around to grab this one, great cache!
 
30-Nov-12
Too many people around here today ...
Will have to leave this one for today.
 
07-Nov-12
Wow! A very sneaky hide. It has taken several goes to find this one. Finally found it after a hint from a fellow Geocacher.
 
03-Nov-12
Very genius! TFTC!!
 
24-Oct-12
Needs more difficulty stars! TFTC
 
24-Oct-12
Very clever, needs higher difficulty
 
23-Oct-12
Being new to caching this was my hardest one yet! Was very creative!
 
22-Oct-12
Look for a while without success. Used ipad for GPS so wasn't sure about GZ.
 
17-Oct-12
Wow....
 
17-Oct-12
Epic
 
14-Oct-12
Nice hide and great cache. Not what I was looking for at all.
 
14-Oct-12
After some persistence...I found it! First one I've ever seen like this!
 
11-Oct-12
Spent a while looking for this one. Pretty new to geocaching so wasn't sure what to look for! It's doing my head in so I'll be back to find it!
 
04-Oct-12
Whit a litle bit of help of eager kids we foundt it
Great hide
 
04-Oct-12

A quick drive by while passing through town.
Thanks
 
23-Sep-12
Found on our way across to South Australia to tackle some of the power trails and series over there. We stopped in Horsham overnight and once we had unpacked set off to collect some of the local offerings before dark. There was no-one around while we were searching so we managed a fairly quick find as we have seen a couple of these before. Still revolting though. TFTC
 
22-Sep-12
A nice quick find on the way home from tea. Thanks for the cache... Nice hide.
 
18-Sep-12
Late night find, only one drunk muggle to seen. Great hide!
 
18-Sep-12
Visited this cache late at night with a couple of first time geocachers in the hope of avoiding the muggles. Sitting at GZ was a drunk bloke needing a bed for the night. He asked me to call 000 and ask for an ambulance as he might be having a heart attack. He seemed more inebriated than physically distressed... but I encouraged him to use the nearby payphone and explain his predicament the operator. Suddenly he was coughing and wailing down the phone until the paramedics arrived. A couple of police officers also turned up to assess the situation. After a few laughs with their emergency worker colleagues they helped the gent into the ambulance to ferry him to the local hospital... or most likely, home. That finally freed us up to search more diligently for this delightfully elusive hide. Our persistence in working it out paid dividends. Stick with it!
 
18-Sep-12
Great location. Great cache. Thanks for taking me here. TFTC
 
01-Sep-12
Out and about with Dr Jim 07 and Josiey for the weekend, They were tied up working today, howeaver generously offered me the use of their getaway car to collect some caches / aka clean up the area..

I was able to visit these ones before lunch.. After lunch didn't see as many caches found, however I had better luck with multis and covered more distance.. Thanks for the caches

The weekend turned up about 40 caches for me, including the last required DT combo for my Project 81.. Thanks to the various owners along the way, and appologies for the generic copy and paste logging.. We mixed it up with quite a few multis and some really fun bushwalks into the Grampians to take in the stunning views.. Weather for the weekend was awesome. Cheers to the cache owners for the caches.. Finds approx #2933-#2978 TFTC. Dipped various TB's and GC's to mark the occasion.

Found on a quiet wet Saturday afternoon. Great cache design. Thanks for the history lesson as well.
 
24-Aug-12
Tricky find, wouldn't have thought it was that place to hide
 
18-Aug-12
What an excellent cache. I had been to this one a couple of times but had to bail out due to muggle activity, and, yes i wasn't sure what i was looking for. After doing a bit of a sherlock holmes on this one the prize came to me. Mind you, the Bus driver waiting for his next drive was a little hard to shake. Onefatporker you've done a treat.[^]
 
18-Aug-12
very tricky hide, took me a while to find with so many muggles in the area. TFTC
 
18-Aug-12
Took a bit of effort to get the log paper out, but finally successful.
 
13-Aug-12
This was our last morning caching in Bendigo before making our way back to Adelaide via Horsham and Francis caching along the way. Wasnt a bad total with 45 finds for the day. Could have been more but had some trouble early with DNF's on micros.

Clever camo but I think some kids across the street may have seen me put it back. TFTC. Big Grin
 
05-Aug-12
Found while resting tired feet. Log not marked as to small. TFTC
 
04-Aug-12
TFTC...no activity around today so it was a quick one. Had a chuckle at the camo as I have one I will put out at some stage. Nice one
 
21-Jul-12
quick and easy find, not a muggle to be seen, they were all at another cache i couldn't get, tftc
 
15-Jul-12
Had to return multiple times to this site due to infestation with muggles. Fantastic disguise.
 
06-Jul-12
I did find this a long time ago but was not logged , only relized today while hunting in the area - tftc onefatporker
 
10-Jun-12
Heading home from a flying visit to SA, we were ahead of schedule on the bus, so we were allowed to stretch our feet. Tag-along came up with the goods as I picked the wrong resting space.
'Nice' camo and TFTC onefatporker
 
08-Jun-12
Wow this cache is a little ripper, tricky little hide but a good one. Found quickly on a lazy Saturday arvo with not much muggle activity about, nice spot for a rest, not far from the main street. TFTC
 
14-May-12
Found it nicely
Thanks onefatporker for the hide and cache
 
06-May-12
Sully1 and I quickly had this in hand with the great clue, and overcoming a reluctance to grab this clever hide. Thanks again Onefatporker for the cache
 
06-May-12
Bogonghazy spotted this one straight off, log was signed and returned, and we were on our way back on the road to Tailem Bend for a few days caching. Thanks again onefat porker, I must have done almost all of your hides today. LOL.
 
30-Apr-12
Found this one within seconds of being there had a lot of a laugh when i found it thanks for the find
 
08-Apr-12
Nice thank you!

Found on the way to Oz mega.
SL. TFTC onefatporker Smile
 
04-Apr-12
Found this one on the way to the Albury Oz Mega.

Dismissed the hide even though I picked it up and dropped it. Phoned a friend an hour later and he confirmed the hide - whoops, a late night return to GZ and sign the log then replace the container which I'd previously left on the ground. All back in place now. An excellent hide. SL. Thanks for the cache onefatporker.
 
04-Apr-12
Found on a night time expedition with Locus while staying overnight in our travels to Oz mega in Albury TFTC
 
02-Apr-12
Found on our two week expedition to the Oz Mega In Albury. SL TNLN TFTC. I LOVED this cache. It's a classic and well worth a favourite point from me. Managed to find it despite it being busy and an over friendly worker who was cleaning the area wanting to strike up conversation.
 
01-Apr-12
Found in the company of the Chief (Dad) and the Walenators at the very beginning of our SA adventure. A good way to get my driving hours up! TFTC
 
17-Mar-12
What a sneaky sneaky sneaky hide. Very evil, had to go away for a while, read through the logs an think about it. The hide soon revealed itself.
 
14-Mar-12
Found with Roostaman at 2050 while returning from our South Australia odyssey. With cache number 3000 looming I decided to pick a micro for the momentous occasion. We left this one until night time as it was crawling with muggles earlier today. Totally deserted this time of night.

Thanks onefatporker.Smile
 
14-Mar-12
Found with Fred6603 on our SA & Vic adventure trek. Another quick find in the quiet of the night with no muggles around. Thankfully, we have seen a similar hide before and it was also a nice 3000th cache for Fred. TFTC,
Roostaman.

They didn't go far! a Typical design for a police station from years ago. It was very quiet on a Public Holiday and the cache ws quickly found thanks onefatporker.
 
11-Mar-12
Very hard to find took me about twenty mins since this one is only my 12th one that I have found and only been doing this for 3 days very hard one for me good hide like to see what else is out there like that
Thanks mate
 
08-Mar-12
Nice quick cache on the way home from work tftc
 
07-Mar-12
Found during the trip back to Adelaide after spending a few days in Melbourne. Arrived at GZ just in time to see a handcuffed detainee in a snappy black suit being escorted from the cells to the courthouse. He looked guilty enough to me. Wonder if he got done for loitering around bus shelters??? Thanks for the cache onefatporker!
 
02-Mar-12
A return visit and the cache was found. Damn muggles.
 
02-Mar-12
I sat very close to the lady in the bus stop. She must have thought I was some weirdo so she moved outside in to the light rain. I cached the cache and move on. Very dry where I was. She was slightly wet when she moved back in. Did I feel bad? Ask yourself. Big Grin

Thanks to onefatporker and clear skies from TeamAstro.

This log marks the 1185th smiley to be recorded in the stats of WazzaAndWenches.

The fire brigade urban junior state championships were held in Horsham this year and the Wenchette was competing. With so many teams she had a lot of down time between events so I was able to sneak out and find a few of the local caches I missed on my last trip over this way.

Just as we arrived we heard the fire siren start up. The weather was bloody hot (40deg) and there was quite a wind blowing. We both commented on the task ahead of the brigade as we'd spent quite a few hours during the week tackling a 9km long grass fire along the train line back home. Horsham brigade would be in for a real battle if the fire turned out to be a grassy.

Back to the cache...I had a very quick look and spotted the clever hide straight away but then left muggle mate Jobbo to have a look. After a couple of minutes I started the cold/warm/hot game and managed to get him to within a very short distance of the container before having to point it out to him. I've not seen one of these in real life before but have eyed them off on the various geo shop web sites.

Well done onefatporker.

Finally found this one after 3 attempts with geofriend 'Chonitom'. Was a very sneaky cache but was great. T.F.T.C SL
 
18-Feb-12
Omg 2nd attempt and we found it seriously we just had to think about it - HALOJIZE and I rested our feet. SL .... T.N.L.N
 
11-Feb-12
2nd time there was to many muggles around. Will have to try again later.

Our last cache for today. Many thanks for an enjoyable day of caching. It is always great to see new caches put out. This cache looked a bit familiar to us - stay tuned for similar hide in Ballarat in near future. When we first got to location there were muggles sitting right where we didn't want them to be but after a little detour and return trip they had moved off and well... our tired feet just needed a rest! Signed log and happily went shopping after finishing all the caches around town.
Thanks

This was a great hide. Thanks for a clever hide in a busy spot.
