I don't understand how the little container keeps disappearing from the extremely hidden spot it is supposed to be in. Several times when I went to check I found it in different spots?? Maybe it's time to give up.
Didn't even bother looking for this one...8 months since the last find...its time for some action...or archiving!
We are spending a few days in the area and decided to try for some of the local caches.
It was quite early on a Saturday morning, and it usually takes us forever to search for hides of this sort (and very often we are still unsuccessful) so we thought early would be a good muggle free time. Wrong!! Several locals kept arriving to hamper our search....no doubt they were all off to enjoy a leisurely and delicious breakfast at the nearby cafe
Between muggles we searched for a while but then decided to continue on our journey in the hope of fnding some muggle free caches
Thanks anyway corikra[^]

A bus arrived and still managed to find the cache when the mugglers moved on .TFTC
Out for a morning jog with a colleague and thought I'd introduce him to GC but we got sprung by the Australian Italian Festival's security guard. Next time.
Found at 12:42:00 PM in the company of thepope. This one took a bit of finding but eventually it was found after a PAF.
Thanks corikra.
Thanks corikra.
Found with muggles around but not paying attention to what we were doing. TFTC.
[Blue]# 12509[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another perfect winter day for a drive around the area while in Ingham.
I looked there, but missed it and then after a good look around I returned to the start point.
And there it was all along. aaarrrrgghhhhhhhh.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, NSW.

Found with geoferals and geoferal no1. ( batman93) on a spur of the moment Easter road trip. HAPPY EASTER everyone!! Tftf
On a day trip with jackylegs44 this was our first stop. Started looking and after I got my gloves on it want better plus some directions from my company. Even if not all correct, I did find it and a toy car too.
Thanks for the hide

It looked ominous, more like a job for Muggle Hubby but it was actually I who spied it, but he retrieved it. The setting here is a wonderful replica of an industry which is still thriving here but much of it has been modernised, some still very similar. Thanks for the cache placed here
That's one big bit of gear, now where would a micro be. Found it pretty quick and took a walk around. Tftc
Cool place, TFTC

Quick find and no problems for us. Another cache on the road towards Cairns. Thanks for another one corikra.
Lots of muggles of all ages as we searched for the cache. Looked in all the spots until geo P came up with the cache. The pencil is broken - pity I did not have a sharpener to make it good for the next. SL TFTC and we headed back to Townsville after a lovely weekend dancing in Cairns.
driving past - decided to stop in for a look
scratched around for awhile but came up short
then it started to get busy as they started setting up for afternoon markets nearby [?]
maybe next time
cheers

Was a bit unsure when previous hunter logged a dnf but hit the jackpot in the first spot I looked. TFTC
Wow, this one was super tricky. After reading some other logs about geohounds we narrowed our search to the bottom half but alas no luck. Boy did we get down and dirty and went back to the car looking like chimney sweepers and defeated. Oh well, better luck next time we're in the area.
A second time around for us. but the memory plays funny tricks on you and we thought that we knew were it was, but alas we needed to hunt the little blighter down. It is amazing how many caches get archived and then another cacher (not in this case) decides it is a great place to have a cache, that another cache grows in the same place. SL TFTC (second time around)
Not sure if this cache is currently sitting in its original hide. Found almost sitting in plain view. The owner may wish to visit and re hide if necessary. Good spot for a cache however.

This was my third attempt at locating this cache, so was somewhat of a nemesis cache for me! [:(!] Today I decided I wasn't giving up until I found it. After several minutes of searching, I finally made the discovery. I must be going blind as I'm sure I searched that particular spot before! [8)] Glad to cross it off the list finally! TFTC Corikra. Cache and log in good condition. SL {#461}.
Was on the road with work and could resist squeezing in a few caches on the way! I really need to invest some time to come and roll all the Ingham caches.

Tried finding this for some time. No luck and had to give it up when a muggle on a mower came nearby! Will have to try again next time in Ingham.
First go took 30 minutes didn't find. Come with pilkojr and found in 5 minutes. Tftc
Found after about 5mins. So many places this cache could have been hiding. Found with Brendan Dean. TFTC SL
Our gz was on the mark, but wow there are plenty of potential places to hide it here, but geo hound found it in the nick of time!
The GPSr indicated GZ as being on another nearby structure, but this didn't deter geoP who zeroed in and made a quick find. Some nearby neighbour muggles meant we didn't hang around too long.

We found this one in a massive metal object with a lot of possible hiding spots. Found by Lyni9 and Gas409 while enjoying a trip to Australia. Thanks for hiding this cache..

Found on the FNQ leg of our Round Aust Trip, see blog - http://mrlocks.tumblr.com/
Stopped to check out what there was to see in the local area, we enjoyed a nice walk across the raised boardwalk, up the lookout and back to the carpark via the ground level walkway
Stopped to look at cane machinery on the way, quick find by Charlie

3 strikes due to the last container suffering "cache drift" [:(!][B)] no need for climbing all over the feature today as corikra has re-revived the cache sl.tnln.TFTC
Thought this would take a lot longer to find the cache than it did and we were fortunate that there were no muggles near GZ this afternoon TFTC corika and the enjoyment of the challenge your cache gave us.
We were here for the Italian- Australian Festival and realized that the cache was really close. After some brief searching we came up with it. TFTC
A fairly quick find. Always think there's a fair bit of luck involved in hides like this. Then went for a wander around this lovely but deserted complex. Thanks.
Found, on our travels around Australia.
Container blends in well, put it back as found.
Many thanks for the cache, corikra.

Been here for maintenance and was unable to find my own cache, as somehow people have managed (once again) to put it in a different spot to its original hide.
Well, I replaced it in its original spot

Oh what a great orange juicer
No pips in the juice with this machine.
The household electricity bill might soar though [:o]
Sadly, despite my runaway imagination, I couldn't find a cache upon said Juice Loosener
Yes, like others, I left feeling crushed .....

Corikra, you hide your caches VERY well! another stop on the way up to Cairns. No luck on this one.
Had a long search and eventually found IT by member of my party...needed a sugar fix afterwards. TFTC
Un-disable....un-disable...un-disable...
Checked in on this one today and found it exactly where I found it last time. Its wasn't an easy find the first time but it is still defiantly there.

No muggles, enough time, but no luck. Didnt want to grab into every dark and dirty hole.
Not sure if this one is actually gone, as it is quite tricky to find. I will check on it as soon as I get a chance.
Couldn't find it, went back there 3 different times and still no luck. Might have been muggled.
8058 caches found
guessed where this might be
Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks corikra for the hunt today

After a quick 5 min search we gave up.
The heat and time restrictions meant we had a deadline and couldn't spent to long looking.
Interesting machine though.

Well being Christmas Day Cat and Bear decided to grab a few caches. This is the 3rd find for the day. We arrived to GZ and we knew this wasn't going to be a walk in the park after searching high and low Bear spotted the prize it helped that he was taller and was able to see the prize. Thanks Corikra for the cache so glad we found this one
I came armed with lunch and a torch and wearing jeans determined that today I would have success. I wandered, looked, felt, caressed and came away empty handed! I dont know if I will ever get to attempt this again. Thanks for bringing me to the spot though.
This was the first Cache I attempted today, but after searching every nook and cranny I ran out of ideas, decided to give up and head onwards to Wallaman Falls. At the falls I suddenly realized that I overlooked one very obvious hiding spot and so I returned to the site to give it another try. And indeed, this time I did find the Cache, even though it wasn't in the place I looked, but the different perspective revealed it and I was finally able to log this elusive Cache .
TFTC!
Found 12:58, cache 3/5 of the day.

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache found in the last place we looked. Which was not the first location by a long shot. Love the hint. Nice castings.
Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo.
A solid day driving/caching between Townsville and Cairns A bit of rain, buckets of sweat saw us find this cache!.. Thanks for the fun!!
Do they crush chickens in this?
Thanks to corikra and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Don't you just hate it when, just as your about to get up close and personal with a beast, someone in the house across the road comes over and asks you 'what do you think your doing'
anyone would think think that they owned it and it had broken it's leash. End of the day for this search.

Found on our roadtrip north for the Cairns solar eclipse. I was travelling with a muggle who I introduced to geocaching on this trip, She was so eager to beat me to the find she jumped up and shinnied under the roller looking evrywhere. I stealthily grabbed the cache and sat nearby signing the log. She was too focused on the search to notice till I asked if she wanted to replace it hahaha, Thanks corikra
