This cache has not really been found since Jan last year and despite repeated requests for maintenance, does not have any logs that the cache has been checked and is still there.
Couldn't find this one as others have posted but there is a lot of new landscaping and wondering if it was cleared up
Out with Tardis trio and Team Scoobster for a spot of night caching, no luck for us tonight but there has been some cleanup and revegetation work here it may have been collected
Had a good look around and spotted a likely place, but nothing there .
Then a muggle came along and started planting more shrubs nearby, so we abandoned our hunt [:o)].
We'll keep watch to see if anyone else finds it before returning.
Thanks Fair Dinkum.

Found the container with Dr Owl after a bit of a search. Placed a new log in the empty container. Hint doesn't seem to apply anymore!!
No sign for a year, but a recent find meant it was worth a detour for Owl and CP Wanderer to check it out. CP found an empty container and they located a log from the car. The clue is now irrelevant, but the cache is there. The TB is probably long gone though.
Looks like a lot of landscaping has been done recently. Since no one has been able to find it since Feb 2013 maybe the owner needs to confirm it's there.
Had a good look around today, but no luck for us today. Signal was bouncing around a fair bit but after a good look decided to call it a day. Reading other logs it looks like this one is gone.
DNF BFE Style without the GPS.
Found the location but it is empty.
Fine Elsewhere

We look in THE spot where it would've been but found it empty.

A nice hide, nearly missed it as the bark is covering it a bit. Grabbed this cache after doing a crazy dance of the Amazing Mawson Wherigo nearby. TFTC
Found on a little outing with ParisLaura, Kay-shazlo and wheezle.....Miss 6 wants to warn people of the path here, it bites lol and we had to sit in the car for a while nursing skinned knees. TFTC
Was dropping off a desirable TB in the area, and decided to go for a wander and pick up a few extra caches. This was the first on the list! Took a little longer than I'd like to admit, and actually found the container by accident with my foot! TFTC Fair Dinkum!
Though a bit weary after the big day yesterday it just took a little encouragement from Mr Honeysucker and caching enthusiasts Team Robins and of course Brucie were up for doing a few caches. This was one they targetted and were able to find.
Nice work thanks to Fair_Dinkum.

Nice location looks like new plantings and mulch is planned for the area which might compromise the cache? Don't know lol tftc
Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing me to this area of lake, creeks and parks, nice. Never been here before, will have to come back just for a walk.
Visited this cache today on my day of cache maintenance.

Sorry for the lateness of the log. Was checking my finds list and discovered I missed this one. TFTC
Found by Ray at 2:55PM on the 25th of September. A lovely day for being out and about and enjoying some caching. The cache contents and log book are extremly wet. TNLN. TFTC. The Nomads.
Found while out with team scallywag and the wild gang. TFTC
Cache is wet and needs some modifications.

found second attept with samkayxx first time round was dark and rainy, no way we would have found it in the dark, this time we were straight onto it, log is soaked and other contents, needs tlc tftc xx
Found on second attempt, after finding we realized why we didn't find it the first time when it was dark found with kimanddrew
I walked straight up to this one and spotted it straight away. ( I have a similar hide.)
This cache needs a trip home to dry out. The log is damp. It did not help that the log bag was inside out and not zipped up.
Nice spot.

Gotcha!
Took two attempts to get this one. How did I miss it the first time? I don't know. Maybe it was the scratching around in the dark with the world's smallest torch. But then again, it worked the second time...
And, yes, the log book is very wet. Turned the bag inside out because the outside was drier than the inside.
Thanks
Definately saturated logbook, I didnt even attempt to open it.
Took the geocoin to move along.

Great hint for this. We Knew what to look for before we had got there. Logbook was quite wet but still managed to write something on there TFTC
We had a very good clue what this would be from the hint... but as we got to GZ we forgot and had to have another look... As we did we found it straight away with out moving a centimeter.
Thanks for the Cache

Found today on our Mawson Lakes cache-date. Quick find thanks to the hint. Left a calling card. TFTC
A nice little spot for a walk after dark! Mind you, these days it is dark everynight before I can get out of work and attempt to locus cache
Needed my daily cache fix and today Mr Pope very quickly provided it. I was especially grateful that, unlike last night's cache, the only water around here was in the wetlands and not on the bushes where it could drip onto me

No council workers today. They must all be asleep at the shovel. No catholics seen as well.
A quiet place on Sunday morning. Was everyone at church?
Thanks to Fair_Dinkum and clear skies from TeamAstro.

I was pretty sure that I knew what I was looking for, but in the dark it was a tough call to spot it. After about five circuits around GZ, I finally found what I was looking for. A nice spot, but the neighbours must have wondered why someone was walking in circles here with a torch...
TNLN - Thanks Fair Dinkum!

Seen a few caches like this so was able to grab it immediately!

A bit of night caching after dropping my daughter off for a birthday party at a Mawson Lakes destination. Nicely constructed cache.
What a great spot for a cache, kids loved it. My Coordinates were reading slightly off by 2m. Took Charlie brown for a drive
Aggggghhh! For the first time ever - no writing instrument, and none in the cache! Signed log with a broken stick Nice place for a cache!
Dropped Charlie Brown TB
TFTC!

A lovely area
Have been for walks a few times along here (I had at one stage considered putting a waypoint on the little island close by) over the years and it is always nice. If one climbs to the top by the fence you get a great view over Mawson Lakes, and see how few houses for such a modern area have solar panels.
After trying to break my back lower down, I found the neatly hidden cache, but alas not a virgin logbook (but then I did have to wait an hour until lunchtime after publication).
Made the climb to the top and enjoyed the views whilst logging, before returning and enjoying a lunchtime walk.

Was at home with DPA with not much to do when a couple of new ones came out. Went for this one first and was rewarded with a virgin log book. Now off to the other one.
Thanks for the cache Fair Dinkum.
