it looks like this whole place has gone missing-
do I have any suggestions for other 'bricky' locations?

This place is currently being demolished, if not already, you may want to relocate the find...
No a soul around, so a quick easy find. Cache was easy to spot due to lack of ground maintenance
We got the coordinates wrong at first but once we got it right we step straight to it lol Jesus so simple haha
After finding the Big Bag Wolf a couple of nights previously with pprass, its time we found another little pig. I suppose its like putting the horse before the cart.
This was an easy multi, just had to make sure the information was read correctly.
Quickly found the cache close by.
Thanks for the series darth trader.

TFTC!! Started searching in the wrong area due to p;lugging in the wrong co-ords. Once I realised my mistake, we got it right & got to GZ. Great container! Loved it. Can't wait to finish the series. Thanks =)
Ha ha I'm an idiot. Wandered around in circles and finally realised I had an 8 where a 6 needed to be. Geo wife In stitches in the car. TFTC
I'm not good at all with coordinates so I used the hint to look around, signed the log, love the location and the box used, now for the big bad wolf!!!
Found at 3:19 PM GAFF1. A nice little multi and we were able to search with no one looking. When we found the cache we immediately thought that this must be one of those trick containers, so we examined it for a few minutes, but then found that it just opened up by taking the lid off
Thanks darth trader.
Thanks darth trader.
Gathered info incorrectly at first and headed off in the wrong direction. Came up with nothing so had a stab in the dark and found it. After signing the log we went back over everything and with the correct numbers the co ords were spot on. Thanks
When caching, its really helpful to get the correct data and information to do a puzzle cache!
At the sign, we collected the wrong information for Hack, and went off in the wrong direction, onto private property, and obviously couldn't find the cache.
TheMonks went for a walk and found it by accident, and then we recalculated and came up with the correct numbers and the co-ords were exact. Retrieved the code word. TNLNSL TFTC

Figured out the coords without any trouble, had a quick search but a few muggles around so came back this morning. Took a little while to find. The last of the pigs now to solve the wolf.
I love the container, McGyver would be proud.
Found with ease, coords were spot on. And an interesting bit of technical history.

Finally an excuse for a closer look after living just done the road for a year. Nice spot.
It was very interesting reading about the history of the building. Good find.
Found after dropping geokids off after new years.
My Geoson Aide04 would have liked the container on this one.

Finally!!! This is why geocaching is so addictive. Now onto the next clue. TFTC.
Some interesting history here. Didn't take long to figure it out. Only had time for this one today. Thanks Darth Trader
Didn't take to long to find as the area deserted.
Have enjoyed the search for all three piggys homes now look forward to getting the big bad wolf.

On a lovely morning bike ride, i decided to head out and grab this one. After gathering the coordinates I went on a wild goose chase to nowhere. I then went back and re-calculated and soon enough I was on my way to GZ. A muggle family pulled in as I signed the log.

Got the info, worked out where, oh! there! Soon found the cache. Good coordinates. Dry and intact.

1850 GAFF1 While I had been near here a few times over the last year I had never tried to get the Multis, but tonight we both wanted to get a couple more for our stats, so here we are!
Wasn't too sure where to get the numbers from, until I went a bit further - must be the 'Chinese heritage' A nice night for it, and no muggles.
Soon found the interesting brick! Cache dry and intact.
Another for the Night Caching thesis book mark
Unable to leave a Correct Site Marker here.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aust Light Houses, B 2 B ingot, Iconic Bridges, Just Monkeying Around Oz, Little Moo, PAP, Slugging Around the World!, Trackabulldog, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, and trackable shirt.
TFTC Darth Trader, now to work out for the Final when next back in the area!

This one took two bites of the cherry to find. Stopped by here early this morning while it was still dark, and after plotting GZ, headed over to give the area an entire search...but came up empty. It wasn't until I spoke to a previous finder later in the day who mentioned that there may be two similar answers that I returned to find there were two very similar answers putting me in the wrong spot. From the look of the area I was searching around I wasn't the only one. With the alternate answer in hand, I was soon at the right GZ...and the cache in hand. This is one of the more interesting locations around the area and I'm surprised there hasn't been a cache here before this. Enjoyed another novelty container.

Our 6799th overall find.
Continuing the work to complete the series today, I enjoyed the information at the listed coords and soon had the coordinates for the GZ in hand and then made a quick find. I hope you had permission to use the container Darth!
Thanks darth trader for the cache.

Joining the venture to find The Big Bad Wolf on Sunday evening, thought I better get the pigs first, TFTC darth trader!!
Yep , got it.
very clever.
I had no idea but my son ( who is 9 ) found it quiet easily.
Love the Cache container.
Thanks Darth

Tricky tricky! Thanks for making us use our grey matter Darth Trader with this series
first find of the afternoon, original container with a great puzzle. we parked in front of GZ but thought the clues were further away than they were after gazing at wonder of things long past we realised our error and back tracked. With answers soon to hand we had the cache to hand, I had to explain to Geo Jnr that he could not take the container with him and with the log signed it was soon replaced.
TF another quality H Darth

Found with Dimand. Interesting spot and great cache container! Misread the sign at first so coords were off, but soon realised our mistake and made the find. Thanks for bringing us here!
Good one. Smart phone not very helpful at first. #90 TFTC.

When this cache was published a few days ago we were sitting on 2999 finds and planned to find "Lane Cove" in Sydney as our 3000th. It was very hard to not go out and find this cache as the FTF was left unclaimed for many hours! We did have the will power and held off finding it until today. As it was Easter sunday the place was closed and we could wander around, unobserved by muggles, which was lucky as we stuffed up one of the numbers and it took us closer to where the muggles would be! Soon had this worked out and found the very fitting container and noted the code word. Thanks Darth for another interesting multi in our local area.

Quickly threw together the numbers to come up with a set of coordinates that dropped me right at the cache.
First cache of this type i have found..Something different.
SL and gathered the required codeword.
Thanks Darth.

This cache was published while I was at work today and add I had appointment at blood bank this afternoon did not think to try for first.
So when I got home had a look at the cache page and still no finds so had to go for a look.
After searching put the required information and getting a location of gz had a search for and found the cache at the spot the gpsr was showing.
Nice cache Thanks darth for a history lesson.
