Paddled down and up the river, but also failed to find this one. Cleaned up some rubbish.... the bin is right there people!!!
Nice spot but no luck in finding the cache, shame about all the rubbish dumped here
Found it this time round.
Definitely been replaced as it was very easy to find and wasn’t there last time I came.

2nd crack at this one proved to me that it was not here the 1st time I looked as I know for sure I looked under and around here
Even had some help from a friendly local who knew what we were up to but still no luck
Very busy area with other of kayaks and a fold up boat which seems to be taking ages to pack up. Tftc not easy to find.
Happy today as I got prodded along by Short Circuits who helped me enough to turn the grumpy into a smiley. Certainly a very well hidden cache. I have had many looks as I've been launching my boat there over the last week or so and got very frustrated over not finding it. Thanks earthly65 for this well hidden cache. Will give it a fav point for my frustration in finding it.
Poked around scratched around looked every where but still came up empty handed. So frustrating to have to log a DNF. Maybe next time.
Finally I get to log this as found. Definitely a situation where persistence and a stick pays off
Literally looked in the spot and thought this would be a great hide, and didn't find it. After ten minutes, finally checked again. I'm so dumb.
With new found enthusiasm after seeing someone had found it after I couldn’t, I rushed down to the spot and within 30 seconds I had found it. Felt absolutely stupid for missing it. Great spot! Thanks!
Tough one but we didn’t give up took about 10mins to find recommend using a stick cheers
Finally found after a long search. Luckily only a couple of fishermen so could keep searching. TFTC.
Found it. Almost left but found it just as we were about to drive off. Just need a different angle to be seen from. Was awesome TFTC
After a fruitless search the night before (& a chat with a local who was wondering what on earth the bloke with the torch was doing), I asked the CO for a tip. Back tonight with more information, I made the find. It's a great peaceful spot at night, TFTC & bringing me here, earthly65!
Was passing through so checked on this one for the CO. Cache is definitely there and I had my hands on it in less then 5 seconds, it was clearly visible.
Log dry and in good condition

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.
If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Scratched around more than an old chook but still no luck.. be careful of broken glass
Arrived in the area, however the coordinates kept changing massively so we gave up pretty quick K+E
Wow took ages and on our second attempt too! Thanks for the clue about the stinky !! TFTC
Almost had to leave because of muggles doing maintenance but after they left we were able to find it quickly
Couldn’t find it anywhere. Think it might have been near the bucket of oil someone left, but didn’t want to mess around with that
Someone has left an unattractively smelling bucket of black stuff near gz. Im sure ill be ack to launch my yak from here again so will try then instead.
would never have found this but for a first time cacher showing us how it was done- ferret lived up to her name. tftc. with Suetan and puppies and #Molly&Me #whereibean
Looked for about 16 mins couldn't find. Think we know where it is but a muggle is Infront it.
Cache was missing..could not have been accidentally found...please use stealth to keep cache safe...new cache in place...is bow a micro...happy caching
"Cache is well hidden" - far too well hidden for the young geo cachers; long walk without a reward
DNF for us here. Looked around all areas we thought it might be but no prize today.
TFTC, apon seeing the cache was recently found, I went back for another look. Expanded my search area, used a stick to scrape around and actually found the cache 1 metre from where I parked.
Wow that took a while and in the end we where looking in the wrong spot for a very long time and a quick change of location came up trumps. TFTC
Can the C.O confirm this cache is still here for my sanity, also a hint would be good.
Just got back from Europe.

Nudge74 and minion666 and I looked but we couldn't find it! Nudge has been here before...
Nice and peaceful area, we even saw a pelican out on the water. With the rain about today there weren't many muggles about, so it made it easier for use to have a look for the cache.

No phone reception here, but amazingly we found it without technology. Sometimes we get lucky
A few muggle anglers. After they left muggle husband and I had place to ourselves.
Foraged ever rock and tree base plus more and just could not uncover it spent about 30 minutes.
Look in obvious and not so obvious places.
Perhaps next trip.

We were between a rock and a muggle here!
Previous logs made the find easier and faster to avoid those muggles eyes.

Took a little foraging and patience in between anglers, but got there in the end.
Well, this was fun. Trying to locate with the geokids while not being seen by the ample amount of muggles was a challenge in itself. Waited it out till the coast was clear and then we got stuck into it. After a little bit of scrummaging, we found what we were after and were on our way. TFTC.
[Blue] Searched for around 20 minutes but unfortunately could not uncover it. Thanks for the spot earthly65 [Blue]
Found! Recent logs helped me! Make sure to use co-ordinates with this one due to map issues...lots of fun - quick find tftc
