Looks like it's gone. Covid's going to hinder any quick replacement so time to go.

Clearing the spanna

Hmmm no luck here
 
20-Aug-19
This cache might have been recycled, because it’s clearly not there! I hope a photo is enough proof.
 
20-Aug-19
After this many DNF’s maybe the CO can take a look (and replace the cache).

Arrived at 7.25am on Saturday morning and there were cars lined up waiting for the transfer station to open. Had a look around the GZ but couldn't spot the cache.
 
31-Jan-19
Went at the complete wrong time of day it was so busy around here so didnt get a real chance to look around. All i can say is go when the centre is closed

31-Jul-17
Was in the area so replaced the cache with a shiny new one.
 
27-Jul-17
Found on my way home from work once the recycling center was closed for the day. After a brief look at the structure, I noticed that the container was on the ground - its trademark tape was very distinctive... It was empty though so I used a page of my notebook as a log but I didn't have a plastic bag to protect it. I replaced the container roughly where I thought it was supposed to go. Thank you for the cache SpatialRiq, you may need to have a look at this one.
 
23-Jul-17
Nice quick find on the way home from soccer match tftc

Hi there SpatialRiq.

We found your cache **"Recycle" **at 11:27:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14657.

We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and of various sizes hidden along our route.

We found 6 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

7 year old found it : )
Took the advice about not looking while the centre is open TFTC
 
03-Jul-16
It also needs new log as we had none to replace it.
 
21-Jun-16
The centre was open when I visited - but that was the whole point of me being here, lol, although the cache came a close second Wink A handy diversion from the mundane chores today, although a tricky one to scout & retrieve with the amount of muggles in the area. A fake phone call helped and after pacing around a few times I had spied the cache Smile After a moment of perfect timing it was in my hand and I was soon on my way again. Thanks for brightening up my visit here today - and another smiley on the map Smile TFTC

Yeay this will be my 700th cache, well worth a fave!
and what fun I had here, chasing the 3 R's: Recycled a dead car battery, found a cache called Recycle, and for the huge sum of $2, from the Recycle depot bought 2 coffee mugs and an assortment of goodies to become future caches!

Thanks for my 700th SpatialRiq (and finding my 697th earlier!)

While in the area at P&M Mini Train I thought I would give this one ago, and it was a very good time indeed as I am very familiar with the place and it is very busy during opening times. Thanks for this little cheeky one SpatialRig
