Well its not unusual to find a cache with a log and no pen, but this one has a pen and no log! Didn't have anything on me to put in as a temp log sorry. TFTC
Dried and cleaned cache
Replaced log book
replaced 1c coins with 10Yen coin
Added a large desiccant pack which will hopefully keep it drier in the future.
Replaced lid securely.
Hopefully this will last it through the winter.

It's a lot more grassy around the cache area than it was previously and the prickles look like they could be starting to grow. Be careful because it can get slippery when wet.
Had to sneak down to this cache as Raffee Labrador would be most annoyed I had been in this area without him! Cache reasonably easy to find but like other comments book a bit waterlogged.
Doing some after school caching with geokid.
A quick find but the cache is water damaged. Log very wet.
Found a dryish page and signed log. Replaced as found.

Nice easy find. Second time today we found an open container with damp contents but not to bad. TFTC.
2 caches b4 sunrise on a damn freezing frosty morning. Thats dedication! Slipped on frost and nearly ended up in creek. Great spot! TFTC also a hint for cold weather caching, pens dont work belowfreezing well take a pencil. Learnt this morning
Nice and easy find, just as we like it. The creek was just a gentle flow today. We spent some time looking at the nearby community garden - these are great for people who do not have enough room to garden where they live. Thank you for this cache.
Called for this one while on my lunch break and after a short search soon had the cache in hand, the hint made no sense to me at all so was pleased spot where I would hide a cache being the right place.
Thanks for the cache.

A quick find on the Bear's way home from work. A nice little community garden nearby which I never knew existed. TNLNSL TFTC.
Found it on the second attempt, very good cache spot, bit dirty on a wet day.
TFTC.

took a bit of searching but a tiny bit of the lid exposed was enought to locate it. lovely spot. TFTC
Cool. I was told about the plans by the guy who runs the Newtown Rivulet Catchment Care group that spreads all that bark. Apparently he is concerned about the access bridge. Just have to see what happens I suppose.
Sat on a nearby stump to sign the log. It was lovely listening to the water trickling past. TFTC
Congratulations on your first find. I hope you enjoy sport of geocaching, and I look forward to seeing your name around more.
Checked on cache. Still in its hide hole but the conditions of the local area have changed a bit.
I saw the red notice about the planning application for a change of boundaries, but I can't find any info on either the GCC or HCC websites.

Was nearby this morning but didn't get a chance to roam around here. This afternoon I find time to cache and now the rain is getting heavier. A quick scout around and the only likely spot was under a rock but I couldn't see it in there (not keen on sticking my hand in without being able to see in there properly first). You might want to watch this cache as they have surveyed for a bridge to a new development across the creek.
Another day of Geocaching month, another find.
Got this one just after finished the first aid course for work and I was sort of on my way back.
Had me stumped for a little while but the observation skills kicked in and there it was.
TNLN, thanks for the cache

I nearly dropped dead from shock today. I didn't realise there was a community garden here and who would of thought there was a few animals out in the open too. Daddy and I saw a little wallaby and a rabbit and the fattest snake I have ever seen. It was huge.. I never would have thought in the middle of winter I would find a snake.
Needless today this visitor didn't overstay her welcome and left the snake to its cache.

That's one impressive vegetable garden nearby !

15:17:43 Over shot the parking spot so a quick turn around had us at the right spot. I think we upset a lady reading her book sitting in a car. Cache was quickly found y sb8 and we were soon on our way again.

Great time out with the family. DR JAMES, SMELLY BELLY 8 and JABs Had a lot of fun and it was a very lovely day. Gained lots of fantastic memories and visited some cool places. This was part of my geocaching scouting challenge.

Sue quickly spotted a suspicious object and once checked the container was revealed. TFTC AussieCacheHunter
Great Cache! Was a great one to take our friends who are new to caching and find! TFTC!
A nice quick find, we were pleasantly surprised to see the terrain is much easier than anticipated, perhaps due to the time of year.
Took nothing, left pathtag

Felt a bit exposed, but no one seems interested in what I'm doing - there is a cute black lab pup that is much more entertaining!!
Too hot for muggles today, or so I thought.
No sooner had I replaced the cache and walked away than the house owner drove across the bridge giving me a funny look. So very nearly sprung in the act.
Thanks for the cache.

Hi AussieCacheHunter
A quick find, signing the log at 1418hrs.
Didn't know the community garden was there.
TFTC and cheers

When we arrived near GZ there was some activity in the nearby community garden. However those involved were so engrossed in what they were doing that they took no notice of us except when we pulled up. Luckily we were out of their sight when we went to look for the cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC AussieCacheHunter
Quick find, let's hope the water level doesn't rise too suddenly. Left pathtag. TFTC
Came here after arriving back from the event at CampbellTown. Could hear occupants in nearby house, but not see anyone. So was able to grab cache wander away to sign log, then replace with no dramas. Is the visitors and King Arthur reference to do with that kind of castle thing just down the road?
A nice day.
I could see where the cache would be, but wasn't particularly comfortable searching so close to someone's house in view of their windows.
Just as I got the courage up, someone arrived and started weeding between GZ and the community vegie garden.
I waited them out, then as I was walking to GZ, two guys appeared on a balcony behind said garden and started calling out to me (probably the same ones that greeted AINSTAR and scottymyth), so I left.
Maybe some other time.

Kids made a quick find at this one. Used to come here as a kid myself. I think I understand what the clue means ?!? Took both trackables, and will place them according to their goals.
I took the wrong turn off and ended up in the driveway. I made an about-turn and parked on the street then wandered down the driveway again, as my GPS was indicating the right-hand side of the bridge. I had no luck here so read the description again. I walked back up the driveway and approached from the intended direction instead. This time I made a quick find. I also have no idea what the clue means :S
Checked on cache and updated coordinates. The difference 0.001 minutes can make.
A return to the area and we found the cache, still don't really get the hint and found it difficult as our gps kept pointing us to private property. Glad to have found! TFTC
Found after a 2nd attempt and swapped sides. 2nd to find with AINSTAR. Good find BudgieTas. TFTC
Due to the comments below I'm temporarily disabling this, and will reconfirm the coordinates tomorrow.
Hi Aussie. This cache was showing ready to find in my gps so I headed off to find it. It's only 900 odd meters from my house, so I had a jump if I wanted it. Look at it when it was published and say nah, I will get it later. Went out to find later (this afternoon at 6.20) and found fairly quickly. A nice hide, but it might suffer through the winter floods in the creek.
Anyway a *ftf* so can't complain.

Tried to find this with scottymyth but no luck! After the search left scottymyth rather dirty and we had been sworn at by some locals we decided to give up. Felt a bit funny looking right on the edge of someone's property. One for another day!
