No sign of the cache here today!

Had my six yo on my shoulders in the hole but nothing there. Was a laugh trying though!!!

Has not been found for six months. I think that it has gone.

Could not find

tried this one on the chance that I might find it.
looks to be gone is my guess.

With a few DNFs and some thorough searching, this cache seems to be so tricky that it doesn't want to be located.
Perhaps the CO should drop by to check out the well being of the cache.

Well we looked and looked with eyes and hands and even the camera.
It seems not to be wanting to be seen.
Perhaps the CO might check this one out soon.

No it's not a pine tree or a cache to be seen today.

DNF for us too with Happy pants

Heya, 4 cachers out to find this cache, found the boomerang but either the cache has slipped down the hole or has been found by muggles. We shimmied up the tree and couldn't see the cache.

Found the boomerang but think the catch has fallen out of sight and reach.

Started searching too low but the clue quickly put me on the right path. Took a penny left a boomerang found earlier in the day. TFTC.

Good one

No#1 for the day.
Found ages ago, sorry for my delayed log.
Trying to catch up on all my finds.
Thanks for bringing me here.
Cheers and T.F.T.C!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

We were grateful this was not like the woodies in the area but tricky nonetheless. We searched a bit before recognizing the nicely camo'd cache found at 14:20. TFTC

Took my friends dog for a walk on a first solo cache run...forgit to bring a button as it was a last moment walk. Going to try find more in the area. Good decoy

Found it today on a short walk. Tftc trelester

Took a mate out for his first time caching and he isn't a fan of heights so this one was perfect! Awesome camouflage! TFTC!

Wow, a great way to make a cache "blend in" with its surroundings. My daughter found this, but my son was tall enough to grab it. A great hide, TFTC.

Quick find with 2peasinapod2012,
The rock came in handy.
TFTC

Great hide and container. Always admire the different ideas people have to make the container camoflaged
and unique. TFTC

Another great one kids laughed ..!! Left a ball of blue tac running out of swaps in the car took a love heart

Quick find , few muggles around has to be sneaky tftc

Love the camouflage. Thanks for the great cache.

Found by Sarah Walsh, Bailey Coutts, Adam Edwick

Love the camo, took more effort to open than find. Located on the walk home from school

3.30pm Out and about with Echinda44 for the day. After checking out a couple of Woody caches on the way (and giving them a miss) this was a short walk from the car. ItS certainly not a pine tree, the babe must have got lost at birth.
Thanks for the cache ELERT261419

Cache is still in great condition, remember to please keep using the side clips to keep cache in good order. Have added some new swaps to keep it fun

A clever little hide. Certainly not a pine tree. Thanks ELERT261419

Found @ 1555 hrs.
Being one of the short people I was lucky enough to use a stepping stone to assist me.TFTC ELERT261419.

Found it with AnnaTherese

Out caching with son Funsize Manor on his first day of caching. Got to GZ quite easily and spied the cache within arms distance at least for my son. Loved the cache camo so it's- favourite for me. Didn't complete yor others as they were too high off the ground. TFTC

It was another monthly caching run with Biggles Bear, this time closer to home in the suburbs of Melbourne. This was a nice quick find with no muggles around.

Thanks to ELERT261419 for the cache.

Found 10:54:00 AM, in the company of Muzza, during our April caching day out

TNLN, thanks ELERT261419.

Found with Lost Lochie on a quick morning walk.
thanks ELERT261419 for the cache

Indeed, that is definitely not a pine tree, nice hide. Thanks for the walk ELERT, what a lovely area.

The Mo Crew went geocaching on a 40 degree day! Nice camouflage for the cache

Found it with a muggle family. TFTC!

Easy as 1,2,3! Had a guess and looked and there it was! Having the best time with my dad, brother and sister

Love the camouflage! TFTC

Very fun find out with Ang2001

Found it in 10 seconds!!!

Having read the cache page I came prepared but in the end it was much easier than I expected. No, it is not a pine tree!

Now I get the reference to the pine tree. Very cute cache.

Great job on the container tftc

found it TFTC

Thanks Elert I smell like tree. Lol. TFTC

Thanks for the great cache. Only took a minute to find the cache but great camo. Defently a favorite point for me for your hard work on this one. Thanks PIPPESP

Cache replaced. Becareful when opening please. Use the side clips.

After obtaining a maintenance log on this one, we have had to disable it for now to fix the camo. It appears the Camo was pulled off while trying to open the container.. This shouldnt have been the case as its a clip container.. PLEASE BE CAREFUL and use common sense.

Found it

Noticed the container was a bit damaged when we found it, sorry forgot to mention that....

This cache needs maintenance.
The disguise has come apart and this cache is visible to the eye

Found this afternoon, SL . Dropped TB. Tftc.

Good cache to find with newbies Sam_Mon

Thanks

After checking out the climbing caches nearby and deciding not to try them today, I approached this one thinking it was going to be the Crocodile Dundee "That's not a pine tree, this is a pine tree!" type of tree, but I was wrong again. Anyway it was conveniently located for a quick find at 4:05pm. I'll be back for some climbing another time.
TNLN
thanks ELERT261419

Find

This was a nice easy grab, it had turned upside down so was easy to see on approach to the tree! I wasn't brave enough on my own today to attempt the climbing caches. Tnln TFTC!

Finally!!!! An Elert high(ish) cache that the munchkin and I can reach. Me on a rock, with the 6yo on shoulders... she cries "Got it!!! It's easy, this doesn't belong in here, what a cool disguise". Quite a nice one

Found @ 10:30. & co had to reach for this one as the Amy was too short. Nice camo. I hope it lasts given its in full view of the houses.

TFTC ELERT261419

I've placed a few similar ones myself so this one stood out a bit. Thanks for the cache.

Great cache. Love the camo. Tftc.

I had spoken to a geofriend about this cache and she commented that her height was a slight issue. When I arrived at the location I thought how i was going to climb the tree. upon further inspection I saw the perfect item.

11:50
I've just enough time for a short foray in the northern fringe, so a couple of multis look interesting. This was a cheeky grab on the way.

Yup, the title says it all. A nice easy grab a short walk from the car, with nobody about at this time on a weekday. It's certainly a novel camo, ELERT.

Great cache found it on a break from work, now better get back before I'm late :-0

Very clever name

Yep that is definitely not a pine tree!

Tftc! Love the cache.

Very creative! Thanks!

Great spot to hide a cache. Quick easy find if you are looking for it

Really interesting camo. Quick and easy, nice cache

A great night of caching with Rebel Acts, Blacklegend and Trailrunning (TDC) as we cached a big loop around Melbourne and then headed down the bay where we finished up for the night. As usual, we traveled many kms and had plenty of laughs during the evening and night. It was a bit of a clean up run tonight, picking up quite a few caches that were just on the map by themselves, as well as quite a few new caches that had been recently published. We were also very happy to go back and find a couple of caches we'd left in Werribee during a recent cache run as well.
I've found plenty of caches in pine trees over the years and this is not one of them. Thanks for the hide.

Another great night of caching with TrailRunning, Blacklegend and Quasar3671, a great night was had by all with a big loop around Melbourne cleaning up some of the newer caches. A nice bit of camo and the tree certainly is not a noxious weed. Thanks ELERT261419 for the cache.

Another legendary TDC (The Demolition Crew) run around the Melbourne area. Tonight's run, a cleanup run taking us in a huge circle from the North, to the West, via central Melbourne, then out East.... Phew, the areas we visited.... Another entertaining night, with lots of laughs, a big tree climb, a bridge climb (so to speak) and of course great company and conversations. My thanks to all the cache owners for their hides that we found on the night.

Definitely not a pine tree, but a great example of a Northern Plains Redgum if I'm not mistaken... Nice bit of camo too. TFTC.

The Demolition Crew were once again out and about in and around Melbourne in the wee hours of the morning collecting caches and having lots of fun and laughs along the way. This was one cache I needed to log. No it's not a pine tree, but a cache tree. Thanks

A blitz this afternoon and evening with Erin-Rose and al.Grimes saw me find 18 new caches in one day. This one was #6, found in mid-afternoon.

Cheers to Erin-Rose for placing this one - not exactly easy to get at, but the location was basically screaming at me.

4th to find with Cj Curry. Good camo!

3rd to find!. Found with GeoDad RudiC.
thanks for a great hide :)

Ok ok going try attempt this after work today.. I'm short though... May struggle according to hint !

Yay my very first FTF. Saw this today, was hoping I could be the FTF! TFTC I left a small wrist band for hope & courage!

2ND to find at 4:23pm.. Nice hide and great location.TFTC TNLNSL

Can't believe in 11 hours, there has been no one to fine it. Where is everyone?

Published

A nice quick find on a wet weekend! thanks for the cache
