Has been several maintenance requests, and CO has not been active on geocaching.com since 30 November 2012.
Pretty sure this cache has been muggled! I just found a yellow car I left in there 5 months ago, over in the grass about 50 m from GZ. And the cache can't be found anywhere where it was when I found it.
Maybe it's time for the CO to replace?

Went to check on this one this morning and its been muggled.
I looked about as best I could where it was last time and came up empty handed. Maybe the CO can check and confirm this one isn't there?

After a hard day of burying my way through textbooks, I thought it would be only be necessary that I find some geocaches. I looked on the site and saw three close to home and off I went. This was the second for the night. I was trying to be as stealthy as possible, then a group of kids came to see what I was doing.. Oh, what's this? Geocachers! Woo.. They helped me find it and I'll be honest, I would have looked straight past that. It was nice to meet another cacher, then I was on my way! TFTC!
Can cachers searching for this cache please cover up their search trail? I drove past and checked it this morning and its very obvious to some muggle that someone had been searching there! Just so that it stays there and doesn't get muggled. Not sure if you found it? but its still there! happy hunting!

This cache is so lucky I didn't chop it with the mower 6 months ago! I've walked and driven right past this cache as a muggle so many times and didn't even realise it was there! I noticed it was a bit poor swap wise so I put a few things in that I had in the work truck. I work in this area quite often so will keep an eye out and make sure this cache has enough camouflage. (Some tips for those hunting, watch out for dog mines along the fence and in the case that you find yourself on the wrong side there is a gate close by in the SE corner that is usually open) happy caching!
Found on a very pleasant days caching with CPWanderer and Team707.
I hate leaf kickers. I hate leaf kickers. Whinge, whinge. Kick... ohhh... there it is. Crazy luck for Mr M.

After a quick look at the the previous log I was going to give up quickly but after kicking in the right area I was rewarded.

I remember doing this cache with my parents, and where the cache used to be it looks like a lawnmower has cleaned out and there is no cache to be found.
Was in the 'Badlands' for the NZ New Year event and stayed around for the afternoon grabbing caches in the Salisbury and Elizabeth area.
This one took a bit of finding but got it in the end. Put in a new log book. TFTC.

Grabbing a few quick caches With Liz And Bruce and Firesafe found after a bit of a look
Went out with Honeysucker and Firesafe to do a few caches after the event. This was one we targetted and found.
Nice work thanks to tythataussieguy.

Think this needs a little love and somewhere better to hide...one strong gust of wind could show the world its hiding place
Thanks for the cache

Found it, left Soldier man, took mousy! Can't believe it would be hidden like that, but it was there!
I have logged this cache a couple of times now and my log seems to disappear. How bizarre.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Not happy Jan.
Arrived at GZ and no cache. Read previous logs and I see the cache is not here anyway.

Sorry for the lateness of this log. Found the cache open and all over the path. Have taken the cache.
tythataussieguy can please contact SA Sewer Rats, so that I can return the cache.

found ya, second attempt had to wait about 15 for the muggles to leave then i had cache in hand
After many attempts, finally found on straight away, couldn't believe how we could have missed it the last 4 times. Lots of muggles at playground today. Tftc tnln
Gotcha!
A quick grab on the way to work.
The new log seems to have stayed dry in the recent rain.
I think the container is fairly watertight as long as it is clicked shut. You need to be fairly firm with it.
Thanks

Thanks tythataussieguy for the cache

Our 7th Cache of the day at 2:40:00 PM.
Found the cache easy enough but was uncovered in the open completely full of water might need to rethink the container for one that is a bit more water tight. We replaced it with a new log book as original was completely wet.

Rain menacing, managed to sign log, swap and re position before rain. Took nothing, left strawberry sticker. TFTC. François
While waiting for Mrs J at the doctors, Mr J and Mini J went for a stroll, this cache was closest and a nice easy find. Returned in perfect time.

On first arrival the GPSr said 9 metres through the fence. Then it settled and took us 9 metres along the fence. Looking around I couldn't see a thing but my foot found it. It's surprisingly well hidden for this location. TFTC tythataussieguy!
We thought we were going to be muggled out on this one.
However we waited and the kids got bored and moved on.
Should have looked there first that's where the GPS said it was.
Went looking where I thought it was which was a mistake.
Still got it in the end.

Found while on a cache run to clear out unfound close to home hides. Took a while, waiting for muggles to move on, and eventually found myself on the right side of the fence. Surprised it has lasted so long! TFTC.
This area was busy today, but managed to pick -up the cache when a family headed home! Glad to find myself on the right side of the fence.

Caching in pairs does have its advantages in places like this. If you have to play fence inspector, there are lots of holes in the fence north of GZ.
Thanks to tythataussieguy and clear skies from TeamAstro.
Something strange is happening here. This cache seems to have legs. Popped in last week on Tuesday to look for this one, but nothing to be seen. Then on Thursday @ 7:00am while looking again, I met the owner who had come down to check on it and we both couldn't find it. Now, this afternoon, I look again and find it in exactly the first place I looked last week (I know what you're thinking, but I really did look there ). In the meantime, it's been found 4 times by others, twice "in the open", then returned to a safe place. To quote a famous Shelbyvillean "There's a doin's a-transpiring!". Native wildlife involved perhaps?
Anyway, it was good to meet the owner and have a chat.
Thanks for the cache, Tythataussieguy

A nice walk early this morning before the muggles were out and about.
Had me walking around for a little while thinking I was on the wrong side of the fence.
Eventually found the cache, a good hide! But then had to wait almost 5 minutes for muggler-walker and muggle-dog to move on from the area before I could rehide.
Took nothing, left swag, SL.

A very happy second for myself and gadanga after running into locus cache. We quickly replaced and all rushed off to the just published LPT. This will certainly be an evening to remember.

Found this morning while the kids played saw evidence of previous cachers movements so knew i was in the right spot. TFTC
FTF. Woohoo! Nice to see Don't Panic Arthur & Gadanga there too
SL. TFTC
Had written the above log in a hurry as we all 3 (Don't Panic Arthur, Gadanga and myself) decided to go and find LPT13, Barking Mad, and I wanted to get going while halfway through logging. Hence this afterthought being added now, much later.
I had been sitting at home contemplating going to Thorndon Park for the Moonlight Market when I received the notification for this cache.
Contemplation was gone and so was I! Jumped in the car and drove, sedately and carefully, to GZ. Saw a BIG fence and was suddenly thinking 'oh no, I am on the wrong side' when I saw something that had me scratching around.
I had done the locus cache and was in my car, SL, when I heard a vehicle pull up rather rapidly and doors opened and closed. As I looked to see where they went, I laughed and said hi to my fellow cachers. Gave them the option to turn their backs while I replaced the cache but they took the 'sign now' option Really enjoyed the meeting
