Against my better judgement I will archive this cache , I am in no position to check on it being in Victoria, I am certain it is still there cachers arn't looking in the right place , four of the last five DNF's have a grand total of 7 finds between them which i hardly believe is cause to disable the cache

08-Mar-18
Decided to hit the Northern beaches with Neva2old, a beautiful day along the coast today with some great hides and views TFTC
 
17-Feb-18
Having driven past this structure numerous times and thinking searching for a hide at this location to be time consuming, I had never stopped for a look.

today while waiting for the daughters dance class to finish in butler, the geo son took the opportunity to shoot up and have a look. Preparing our self for a lengthy search of said structure. I made better judgement and decided to follow the compass and had the hide in hand within thirty seconds.

It just proves some times you should just follow directions rather than assume you know better.

Tftc blingg

Thanks creator
 
26-Dec-17
This thing looks cool TFTC
Log is full had to squeeze the sig in.
 
20-Dec-17
Surprisingly quick find here. Was expecting a long hunt but found it within 3min.
Started hunting where I thought it would be until I realised the GPS was pointing a few metres away. Spotted the hide from a few metres away! Log signed and I returned to the geomobile relieved. TFTC.

Apologies for the late log. I'm still catching up from a road trip to WA and all the caches I found along the way. I had picked up the family from the airport (they took the quicker option to get from Melbourne to Perth!) and we spent the night in Alkimos before heading north. I was up nice and early to look for a few caches and this was my final find of four on a nice sunny morning. I was running out of time and realised this wasn't going to be a walk up find. Checked in a methodical manner but came up short and only on a second pass I spotted it. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache blingg.
 
16-Jul-17
Took quite a while and a fair bit of patience.
Needs new log.
Interesting spot.
Thanks FTC
 
18-Jun-17
Thank you! The nephews and I headed out for an adventure on this lovely sunny morning, and this cache was the last stop. I went around in circles for ages looking for the thing, while the boys thought it would be more helpful to see how well they could climb up it. After looking up and down and around, I decided to take one more walk around the structure when I finally spotted the sneaky thing. How did I miss it? Thanks for bringing us here.
 
Log book is full - can't sign. Great little find! Such a tiny thing on such a huge structure. Found in moments for starting hehe!!
 
26-Apr-17
Left home at 06:00 to do battle with the Kwinana Fwy to join Fratra for a trip north. We restrained ourselves from doing any caches until we reached Mindarie then cached our way up to Guilderton. 31 finds 3 DNFs. More to the point we have had a wonderful time with some good laughs & great mates. Lovely sunshine & beautiful views.
Nice Artwork. TFTC blingg
 
26-Apr-17
Set off bright and early with team pommieparkin2 to cache our way Guilderton where we were staying overnight. Fun times and lots of laughs with good friends.

Process of elimination saw us signing the log.

TFTC blingg this is find # 2184 for us.
 
19-Apr-17
God knows how I found it as it was o the floor amongst the sand. Unable to sign as the log is full.
 
26-Mar-17

Easy find. Cool place to hide one
 
06-Oct-16
TFTC out on a Thursday's caching adventure with Barnzy12. Got to have a later start than usual today that played in well as we were travelling north, last time B12 made the rookie move to head north during peak hour!

Today was going to be a little special as we were going to find enough caches to get barnzy12 to 7000 cache finds.

We found a few small series of caches on our trip today and collect a few puzzle finals also. Only a handful of DNFs today made for a successful trip, the highlight for me was the little cave a got to explore and the instant cool feeling when you enter TFTH

TFTC! Another Thursday caching adventure with Cravo10, this week to Joondalup and a little further, we had a small sample a week or so ago grabbing some park and grabs and quickly realised we hadn't been up this far north for some time and the number of green dogs had got a little out f hand on the map.

We completed a bunch of the tel971 caches in the gnangara pines, which was nice to be off the beaten track for a bit, only seeing one vehicle on the roads we travelled. All caches there were found quickly except one which appears to be awol.

We directed our attention to the lord of the rings and the hobbit series of caches, which was a very nice bushwalk, it was a bit of a pain trying to get some of the caches as they were in the middle of dense low and medium level vegetation which took its toll on the body! Understanding the COs reasoning as the geoarr piece is quite nice looking. We skipped a few which were just a bit too much for the day, amd had a couple of dnfs which appear to be awol.

Finished the day grabbing a bunch of park and grabs including the fruit or vegetable series which we started way back in 2013!! all around to get the numbers up to help me claim find number 7000. Thanks to the local COs for their hides.

Spotted the structure on the way North and thought "I hope there isnt a nano on this".... and there was, somewhere! That somewhere sadly eluded us today, so maybe another time....

06-Jul-14
How frustrating. Will be back soon.
 
29-Jun-14
Sad
 
28-Jun-14
Wow - so many DNFs! Well blingg, I can confirm it's still there Smile We first looked for this one in Jan 2013 and had to DNF it. We ride past this structure weekly but have never managed to actually stop since that fateful day. At the time you sent me an unprovoked hint which managed to stay tucked away in my brain. We went straight up to that point this morning and both Mr and Mrs O said 'it's not there'. Mr O started reliving Jan 2013's frustration when I went in for a double check and this time I felt it. Phew! In the end it only took us 2-3 mins to locate. Glad to finally put a smilie on this one. TFTC blingg.
 
27-May-14
3rd time around still NO luck Sad
 
14-May-14
