We had 2 goes at searching this obstacle.
Even with bright touch and 30 mins of looking, we'd had no luck.
Either it is gone, or it was hiding so well, the 2 of us couldn't find it..... in which case , the degree of difficulty doesn't match the task at hand

What a great piece of art, but alas we were unable to find the cache. Not sure if it had been muggled or not.
Did I mention I am not a fan of tiny magnetic micros on great big bits of machinery??? Especially when the hint doesn't help!! Oh well, I will keep an eye on this one and maybe come this way again
Thanks for bringing me to Bruce Rock again anyway. It's a quaint little spot.

A quick find on a long weekend out and about through the orchard country and Wheatbelt. TFTC
I'm really getting to hate these nano containers. Took me 10 minutes to get the roll out of the container. Great clue. TNLNSL TFTC
We signed the nice new log and then off to find the caravan park. Thanks ZH & Blondie.
Not sure whether or not the cache has moved from its original position as the hint didn't seem to relate
Took a while to find but although not under the break or accelerator it wasn't far away.
I was very happy to find it in a few minutes. I generally walk away from this type empty handed.

[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.
Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. We're spending a couple of days heading out to Hyden and came across your cache along the way.
A great use of farmyard junk... Soon had this one in hand.
Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

Thanks for the hide. Quick stop in Bruce Rock for a few caches. Got a few strange looks looking for this one.
In Bruce Rock for a few days geo caching, Farmer Bruce a quick find with the hint....hope the season treats the farmers better than Previous years.
Out in Oz to see our daughter for Christmas. A bit hot for us today but wanted to tick off the new caches since our last visit. Quick find. TFTC
Def used the hint tfth nice and quiet at this end of town no muggles about its just sooooo cold! Just got to 10 degrees at 3pm!!
With the help of the hint we quickly had this one in hand. I love this town and its a great spot for a cache. Tftc
Heading out of Perth on another weekend jaunt to learn about our new caravan and train the cat how she has to travel and find caches as a GeoCat on our trip around Australia.
Camping at Kokerbin rock this weekend. With a late arrival Friday we didn't have time to search for caches till today.
We locked up the van with the cat inside and set off on a tour to include Bruce Rock, Narembeen and Corrigin before returning.
Moving up from GI Bruce to this one we were hopeful of a quick find. Hmm upon seeing the size of the search area we were doubtful of a quick find. Hoping the cache name was gonna give a hint but on a deadline we resorted to the hint. Think we might have found it without but a superquick find using the hint!
Looking forward to meeting other cachers at WA goes BIG in 2013 - GC45X55

Took a bit to get some traction going, but in the end we had success. Note to self: next time do it in daylight!!
Found it with Geo-rge, Miss Jane & EMDH on our WA road trip.
It was a quick find. Thanks for bringing us to this part of WA.

We 'Found it' just now (with thanks to ur tip, & torches!) but sure it should be difficulty of 4 considering how far under it was & how much metal & potential hiding spots there was without any clues in the description, or hints!!! Now we can celebrate 8 out of 8 today & go home happy ( except geo-hubby still has grease all over his hands!)
On a trip east to the Goldfields. Spent 30mins searching, with no luck, so brought back eight pairs of hands for another search. Practically dismantled Farmer Bruce and when finally his head came off in our hands thought...Hahaaaa this is where it will be.....Not a sausage to be found!!! All retreated, disappointed. Apart from a few cobwebs, Farmer Bruce was all good and dandy when we left.
Joint FTF (07:40) between CreightonCrew & Team M-B of the Squirrel Conglomerate. Well worth the early wake up (05:45) to head to Bruce Rock, essentially for this cache! Minimal muggle morning. Now off to IGA for a banana breakfast! TFTC Zodiakhorizon & Blonde? Good spot JC.
FTF 0740. Joint find by Creighton Crew and Team M-B of the Squirrel Conglomerate. Well worth the early start to beat the muggles. Thanks to Zodiakhorizon and Blondie for the cache. Tough little hide.
Apparently the locals are very protective of this sculpture as I got dirty looks when I arrived and approached it. Gave up trying to look when one of the locals passed me for the 3rd time in only a couple of minutes.
