Without sounding rude, can you please check or archive this one? No one will attempt at present after so many DNF's
Three sets of eyes today and still couldn't find it. The hint helped us focus on ground level, but which big hole - we found a few? Also which way is left? Doesn't that depend on where you're standing?
Mr Tardis and Toddler Tardis searched in what we think was the right place after reading the logs. We couldn't find it today
A little trek across a future housing site lead us to the cache. surprisingly easy grab considering the type of container. Tftc!
4 of 12 on the 12/12/12 with Open Your Eyes and Mannyisom.
Probably the hardest of the night. cute camo.
TFTC and thanks Mt Barker for 12!

Got it this time, a lil north of listed coords, but not much.
Nice cammo, blends in.
Has been wet, but cache and log are fine.
Thanks

Its not in the obvious spot and after that there really isn't anywhere else. If it was anywhere near the water it would be gone now...
After Mr DISK looked around for 5 minutes, Mrs DISK had a look and turned it up quick-smart !
Not sure it's in the right place [?], so probably could do with a quick check (we put it back where we found it) .

Thanks for another one Clare007.

Found a bit.
Looks like the coords have been updated since I had the original ones.
I was going to put in a needs maintenance as I found a piece of what I since read could have been the original?
All I found was a Geocaching sticker...
Now I find it should be where I didn't look...
We'll be back!

From what I can make out the cache has gone AWOL.
My other conclusions are that the cache was not put back in its original place.
If it was place lower down the recent downpour might of dislogded.
Either way I cannot find it.

The light was getting low and I needed one for today. Had a look for the one in the tunnel but was spooked by voices outside one of the entrances so headed for this one in mild panic. Lots of praying and praying and finally the answer came. Huh!!! A nice cammo and hide. Not getting my feet wet was also a bonus. Thanks clare007.
No need to get feet wet? I didnt need to cross creek. That bridge to nowhere allows
A crossing in style and to drive to gz.
Alas no banana for me!

Ended up using the frog's wet feet method before I finally spotted this hide!
Cheers again

Found it this time because I prayed very hard this time.
Thanks clare007 for the cache.

It was a freezing cold day and I had bare feet but all was worth it when Featherwaite and I found the cache. Thanks for the cache clare007!
Found on our second visit here. This time I spotted a cleverly hidden cache a few metres away from where I was looking before. Both times we got our feet wet, but it was worth it! Thanks for the cache clare007!
Found in my lunch break. Took longer than it should. I was searching about 4m from it initially. TFTC
Found on a day out caching with Witch of the South. For some reason we signed everything for the 5th, not the 4th. GPSr had us looking at a tree and then in a very wet creek. Not going to get wet for a smily today.
Thanks for the hide,
clare007

I got on my knees and prayed. I remembered them in the morning. It was just before the going down of the sun when I found this one. I was rewarded.
Thanks to clare007 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A quick find although this might be a little more difficult if the water was ever up!! Thanks clare007 for the cache!
Found it on the 2nd trip with dory girl. Dory girl did the praying while I did the look out as there were people near by. TFTC.
A late log, apologies. We tried to find this one, but were not keen on jumping into the reeds or poking around in the stones. We are not used to scary Ozzie wildlife yet and my 2 kids are too good at turning up massive spiders wherever they look, so we called it a day on this one after 10 minutes of tentative searching. There were also lots of cars across the road and people around, so not a good time to be searching so obviously. Never mind, we'll just have to try again another day
Found with odieodie, the on your knees & pray was a good hint, if there is water in the creek follow the path already made 2 avoid prickles. Tftc
The cache is there, but I have moved it back to it's original place so cachers from both sides of the creek can reach it!
11.40pm. A perfectly still clear night. At ground zero, all you could hear was crickets and frogs!! I found the creek in the pitch black, but I came prepared wearing gum boots! a few quick flashes of the torch, and I soon had the Cache in hand.

Sitting at home having tea when the rogue says a new one has popped up within 10kms. Spent a few minutes grabbing the gear, some torches, didn't bother changin out of the uggies thinking a FTF might be coming. Got there and saw torches at GZ. Might not have found it yet. Forded the creek via the stepping stones, wetted the uggies and found that they hadn't found it. Spent about 15 minutes by torchlight until the Roguewatermelon spied the camo container. Then we find Mogni beat us by about an hour. TFTC clare007. very good hide.
well this one popped up just as i was about to dish up tea........ big decision - chilli/little boxes.......chilli won the day so we were far from FTF when we got there with our torches & the dog. great hide & camo. TFTC
Found it with brisal5. Missed out on the FTF by about an hour. Nearly fell in.
