Mission 6: Phillip Phillip, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By Nemo4 (adopted by Cankid) on 14-May-12. Waypoint GC3KBW5

Going to relist nearby. Watch this space...

Came to GZ to find on the log sheet?! No container in sight. I will rethink te future of this one and it may be relisted somewhere else.

Second time lucky, interesting container. There is no lid and the log is rotten. TFTC

Found with O319. TFTC

Mission 6: Phillip was transferred from Nemo4 to user Cankid

Found it with friends

And it is the bark

cache is a bit damp, only had a pencil on hand so if my writing doesnt show up let me know and i'll describe what the cache looks like and where it is. i was about to give up due to GPS cords off quite a bit, turned around and saw some suspicious colors, and voila! cool cache, tftc

Decided to do some caching around woden area, found it easily enough though the cache thing has no lid, TFTC!

TFTC Nemo4

Little owl grabbed this one on a quick drive through of caches-I-did-not-find-while-the-kids-were-away!
Thanks Nemo4

This cache needs some TLC.

Picked up several caches in the area after attending the morning tea event earlier. This was my second visit to this cache. Eventually found the cache about 15M from the given coords. TFTC

The log for this one is cactus. It fell apart as it was undone and then I had to scrawl my name into the paper that was fairly mushy. TFTC!

The log for this one is very damp and could do with a replacement and some waterproofing.

Not right sure if we found the right thing, but we did find a container on a location which matched the hint.
However, there was no lid and a blank log paper was on the ground. A few metres away was a part of the original log.

Found with EdenDanny on a sweep through Woden. A novel container!
TNLN, TFTC.

Nice idea. Tftc

For some reason our GPS had us standing in the car park. Read a few comments and found it shortly after. TFTC!

Challenging with two little kids, coordinates off

Nothing:(

Bugger.... [:(!][:(!]

A great camo hide.
No lid, no clue.

Found with Wasptor and Fraggle_Rock while out on a caching trip. TFTC!

Found on a quiet day with nobody about... Sometimes things can just be timed right... TFTC!

Easy find. TFTC.

I was in Phillip to pick up some gear from the plumbing shop, checked the phone for caches on the way out of the shop and was told I was on top of one. Two minutes later log signed and on my way. Thanks Nemo4

Found while waiting for car to be fixed.

A relatively quick find within a couple of mins. GZ had me in a car spot but after reading the description we put that aside and expanded the search. An easy find in the end.

TFTC

Found @ 9:37am with hccatcher11415

hccatcher found this one after we expanded out search. There's no lid on the container but the log is dry for now. I've added some co-ords which may or may not help!

Thanks Nemo4

Found on my way home from Port Douglas in the first place I looked - I was mentally prepared for this to be much harder, so was pleasantly surprised. Didn't see any hint for the final puzzle, but that may be because the log was replaced by someone else - or maybe I was just too tired after a long day travelling. TFTC.

We happened to be in the area so had to grab our quick daily cache while we had the chance. Weird container and glad the area was abandoned at this time of night. Thanks Nemo4 for the cache.

Found it relatively quick, retrieving log took some time, changed log sheet as it was full. Car parks full but muggles weren't a problem.TFTC

A nice quick find to start off our caching for the day. Nice container, although we weren't quite sure what it was! Nice to find when nobody was around on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC.

Quick find on a lovely day out.
Thanks, Nemo4!

We decided to head further south to do some caching this weekend. This one took a couple of attempts. On the first one, there was a muggle parked close by and we parked and waited for him to go. When he didn't move on we headed off to look for another nearby cache. We came back and he was still parked there, so we parked a couple of spots away from him to try again to wait him out. We had run out of patience and had started the car to move on, when he drove off - only to have another car take his spot! So we sat and waited yet again. Finally this car moved off and we got out to commence our search. We noticed that this second car did a lap and parked a bit further away - we think they may have been other cachers because after we drove off they made their way back again! Once we finally got the chance to search for the cache - we made a quick find. Very strange material that the container is made out of. Container has no lid on it, so the log is rather soggy. TNLNSL TFTC

Out for a caching run with Just a cacher on a lazy Sunday around Canberra.

A quick grab in a deserted setting. Everyone must have the post election Blues today.

Thanks for the cache Nemo4.

A fairly quick find on a quiet Sunday afternoon using the clue. Very ingenious container. TFTC

Very interesting container both look and texture wise! A fairly quick find luckily. Fairly certain this would have to be found out of hours. Very, very quiet here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. TFTC.

Had to time this one. Busy today. SL (nearly full again) TFTC

Found it with the help of green.dog.
As mentioned by previous person, log is full but added a small slip of paper in for now TFTC.

Very clever hide, the log was full as noted by another cacher.

Nice hide and a quick find on a quiet Sunday afternoon. TFTC.

The log sheet is well and truly full.

There wasn't a cap on the end of the hide (not sure if there is meant to be) and the log sheet had fallen out of its hide and was deep inside 'the hint'.

In town tonight with the geo-missus celerating our 14th wedding aniversary. Had some spare time after dinner and before the movie so decided to pick up a couple of caches.

Our coords were about 7m off so it took a while to get to teh correct spot.... then....

TUK really in there???

Nice hide and good work on the container.

Nice quick find TFTC

Found the cache second time around after getting a hint from a previous finder. Certainly an interesting container.

Log book is completely full and definitely needs replacing. TFTC.

Found eventually, looked and looked and then kicked ourselves when we finally noticed it.

TFTC

Wasn't expecting that! Took a while but came up with the goods soon after. Thanks

Like another cacher has mentioned, initial thoughts was "do I want to touch that!" I walked straight up to the likely hiding spot and saw the unusual thing- which turned out to be the cache.

I made the grab and took it back to the car as it was raining. The log is full. Also no clue!???

After ensuring muggles in the area were looking the other way I placed the cache back where I found it.

TFTC.

The log is full; new log required.

The first thing I spotted was something dark attached to one of the branches. When I bent the branch down to try and grab it, the closer view showed it to be the first hatching of spitfires for the spring! So I looked again, and wasnt sure I found it at first. Unusual camo, I dont think Ive seen something like that before.

The log is full and needs replacing. Thanks for the cache.

Needed the hint but found it within 5 mins. Tftc

Again, another DNF for this one. After reading the previous logs, I had an idea as to what I might be looking for, but even widening my search radius as indicated might be needed from previous finds, still didn't come up with the goods.

Will have to try again later.

Wood have been real difficult without the hint.

Log full.
Cool hide.

TFTC

Found with the Awesome Princess who worked out the clue and sorted it for us!

4774 + 542 = 5316. A day off work for the school holidays gave me some time for caching around Canberra today...

It was time to grab the last couple of Mission caches. This one was actually a quick find as in the rain there was nobody around. I really should have written down those clues just in case ! Thanks again Nemo4l !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

A quick find witht the geokid just as the rain started. Interesting cache container!

What an 'interesting' container! We expanded our search and CW spotted something she poked with a stick while exclaiming "oooh that looks aweful"! It turned out to be the cache! Found about 12m from the GZ we were reading on the day. Thanks...

Odd container TFTC

Fifth find of today. What is that container?

The wife made a quick find, and no clue. Thanks.

5575. [font=Century Gothic][green]Back tonight with a lot more light and therefore more able to see that I was nowhere near the right spot the last visit! Did a couple of laps and there it was when I reverse do si doed. Interesting container.[/green][font=Verdana]

[blue]Thanks for the cache Nemo4 and the implausible.[/blue]

Interesting hide here can't say we have seen anything else quite like it. Now to remember where we put all the other clues.
TFTC

Easy find, very unusual container.
Not sure how long it will stay in its current position tho.

TFTC

Quick find although I did have a a bit of a 'what IS that' moment once it was spotted.

556. While it was only a quick look because of people leaving work, it was still a miss.

Out with Jusojara tonight and this was my first. After alittle searching I spotted the cache which does look like something a cat would bring up. Have seen acouple of caches placed like this one and only remains until the camo. TFTC Nemo4

Second for the night with mr_roo and after a few minutes of searching he spotted the cache. TFTC

Wow, nice job on the container. Wasn't sure at first. TFTH.

Found on a nice morning around Phillip. After a bit of searching at GZ, the cache was soon in hand. A very interesting container, well done! Nice quiet area this morning. Noted the clue. TFTC Nemo4!

This was a pain, the numbers were off by enough to make for a very difficult find, but I gave up on the gps and searched in the most obvious spot and found it. Thanks.

Interesting lump. Dropping the lid is not fun..

Thanks for another Nemo4

Quick grab after work today. Cool container. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC, Nemo4!

Well - I was the opposite of SDL. I was searching, and found the old log sheet! But not the container... Odd I thought. Signed that, and wondered what to do. Called a previous finder who filled me in with what had happened, and 3 seconds later, I had the cache! I now dried out the old log sheet, added SDL, and RedV to the back, and replaced that sheet! Now all good as new... Well, except for that container - what the heck is that? Really weird! Looks like something the cat coughed up! I don't think it liked all the rain! Oh well, other then gooey, it still works! Thanks Nemo!

Took a few minutes, but the court was deserted on a Sunday. I think it may last here if people don't peel any strips off.

Sorry about the confusion, I just changed the number so that the better container would be here (It can be hard to get the new clue in).

A rainy Saturday afternoon seemed like the perfect time to seek this cache. So out we went expecting a long search, however, once at the GZ the unusual cache was quickly in hand. The log however proved to be more of a challenge. TFTC.

Our last find for the rainy and cold morning. Very few people around on a Saturday. Thanks Nemo4.

Starting to get confusing here. Is it number 4 or number 6. Anyway, found the oddball (as described earlier) cache, then the lid....on the ground.....with no log sheet.

Looked for the log sheet, but alas no joy, so replaced it with what I had, and then placed the cache where I thoght it should be.

Interesting little cache container, but in it's location it might not last much longer.....

Thanks Nemo4

Found it after a bit.

A quick find very early in the dark on the way to work. Just rode up, circumnavigated the object, found it. Nice oddball container, never seen one like that before. Then it took 2 mins to extract the log. All good, Thanks.

******* Isn't this meant to be NO. 4 - ie "Mission 4: Phillip" ******* ???

585. Received the notification while snooping around in Belconnen and thought the chances of a FTF were not real good but as it was on my way home, I thought I should call in. Arrived just in the nick of time as Mr Flintstone was well into his recce. Walked up and introduced myself and within seconds the beast was captured. I was happy to be the good luck charm, to share the *FTF* and added my contribution by supplying the tweezers to remove the log. Great to meet another cacher and had a great chat about all things caching. Thanks Mr Flintstone for the chat and Nemo4 for the cache.

A quick find. Nice hide. TFTC. Cheers

Yabba Dabba Doo *FTF* at 5:50 with Boot65!

After a quick dash from home and some peak our Canberra traffic later I was surprise to find the place deserted still. Searched around for a good 10 minutes and was starting to hope for other to turn up and help. A car pulls up Boot65 comes over and he turns out was my lucky charm while he was just saying hello and introducing himself I made the find. Thanks for being by lucky charm Boot65 and for the chat afterwards. Thank you Nemo4 for a very good hide, the best container in the series yet, well done!
