Woohoo!!! TFTC
Another cache that was a DNF last time. This time there was less traffic and we read the logs and the hint.
But I do agree that nanos are painful.


 
20-Apr-16
Today we have come to Nairne to spent time with brisal5 to do some caching, puzzle learning and attend the Tardis lunch. We snuck this one in before arriving. SL TFTC

It's amazes me how much a place can change in the space of a few years 2 years ago I was delivering meat here for 2 company's that operated out of here and although it didn't look great back then it looked alot better than it does now
 
06-Apr-16
Found it

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

This was actually a fairly easy find once we waited for the traffic and found the correct pipe.
This was a familiar landmark on our family drives to Adelaide. Mrs Gizmo's uncle once worked here. Sad to see it is no longer the thriving business it was.
Another WWTN cache ... we still have a few to find.
TNLNSL TFTC earthlight!

Cache missing. Replaced a few meters away. Hint now ---watch you don't get wet. Hopefully will last a bit longer.

I throughly checked every brown pipe. I think it's still missing.

I'm quite disappointed as this was going to be my first geocache. Oh well.

I have been past here a couple of times, but never had time to stop for caching. Today there was an inspection for an auction at Bush Timbers woodyard opposite (closing down and moving overseas Sad) so after choosing my lots for bidding online later, I took a little time between traffic to grab a little birthday present for myself. I think it took longer to cross the road than to find it.
