I think I may have finally found my phone after all this time. Maybe It will get lost again, somewhere else...
 
23-Mar-16
Was looking for this one when a lovely person come out from their home to give us hints. Soon after she realised that it was missing
 
14-Mar-16
Will be back for another look soon. Sounds interest
 
13-Feb-16
Did look around where kids have been playing at cubby houses but no cache did I see, will come back here in near future to change that
 
12-Feb-16
A lovely park to visit but unfortunately I couldn't smile here, as I could not find this cache.
 
06-Feb-16
Out finding some caches and just getting in dusk. It's amazing how many people are out walking at this time.
Cache made sense once we found it.

Out finding some caches with dad and my mate Zac
 
15-Jan-16
Suscoe visited this area this afternoon after a morning of caches to the east.
This was the 12th find for the day.
A quick find and sign.
Thanks to Haw0006 for the hide, a nice job.
 
29-Dec-15
Quick find here in an obvious spot but the hint didn't really fit. We re-hid a bit better with bits of bark as the host container was quite easy to spot. Thank you for the cache and the unusual container Haw0006.
 
28-Dec-15
Thanks for the cache!
 
26-Dec-15
Darren found it no problems and geokids love him for it! Nice cache!!!
 
19-Sep-15
Arrived at GZ pretty much at dusk - searching was a bit difficult but I soon located a potential hide. Once I opened the container I had to do a double take, check, and then I remembered the name of the cache. Very well played! Actual container is pretty wet but the contents seem to be holding up. TFTC!
 
13-Sep-15
Found this one in a nearby cage. Was open with the phone thrown aside and the logbooks strewn. Have rehidden the cache more appropriate to the hint and added a bit of paper as log book was full. CO may want to come and reset this one where it was intended to go . Found with Salty911. TFTC

Found with understar+jai

After a bit of a search Janeo found this sneaky hide. Log book is full but squeezed in a place to sign.

Thanks to people taking photos of it

Dont follow the clue.

What a fun little cache, quick find with Prin666cess:) TFTC
 
15-Jul-15
Over in the north this afternoon so I thought I would clean up the University Hill area, get a bit of a walk in and enjoy the pause in the rain. Well, I got the walk and missed the rain and had moderate success with the caches.
Clue doesn't match the hide so maybe the hide is in the wrong spot, my iPhone coordinates were pretty close though. Maybe the CO should check.
Nice hide none the less.
Thanks for placing this cache Haw0006

Found it after search with my iPhone.
Great cache and hide
thanks

Sad

So much trash. Has it been moved?

Theres even barbed wires on the ground nearby so be careful to the kids.
 
13-Jun-15
Great cache

I dont think its where it should be it was a bit easy log is also overflowing

Loved this one. Very clever hide
 
07-Jun-15
A status symbol of the early years of this century.
We rang the number but no one answered.
Apparently the phone has sercumed to not only the elements of time but also disconnection as the operator has said this service is no longer connected.
But it does last in this location watching all that pass and the few that visit.
Well done Haw0006.
 
06-Jun-15
The rain is getting into the cache container and the log is saturated - cache container needs maintenance and a new log book is needed, please.
 
06-Jun-15
Did not take long to find this cache but unfortunately the rain has got in and the log book is beyond redemption so not able to sign it. We signed as small piece of paper and placed it in a zip lock back and placed it in an appropriate spot in the cache container. The container is not waterproof so it is need of maintenance as well as a new dry logbook, please.
TFTC Haw0006 and for bringing us to this area for a visit
 
05-Jun-15
Don't think you instructions have been followed very well. The cache is full of water and not where I expected it to be.
Couldn't sign the log at all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
TFTC Haw0006

16-Feb-15
This cache would be a great one for the geokids, easy terrain and at their height! Nice morning out, TFTC
 
12-Feb-15
Down this way for work tonight so grabbed some quick caches before my meeting. What a gorgeous area. Lovely houses that fit in with the surrounding environment. I even managed to see some kangaroos too! Cool cache. Thanks for the creative hide Smile
 
25-Jan-15
I went to two other locations before this one and couldn't find a thing! I honestly thought that I must be really bad at all this until I found this one Smile
 
22-Jan-15
First find with my two young daughters! Great fun and a good easy one to start with!
 
13-Jan-15
Loved this one thanks ron.haha! Concept was great as was the hide. Were about to give up when we found it. Think the description may need changing though as you noticed it has been shifted.
 
13-Jan-15
Enjoyed the simplicity. Clever idea for a cache.
 
12-Jan-15
My son gave me his old mountain bike so I thought it time go for a ride around some bush tracks and check a few caches that were either my hides or caches I had previously found. It was a good exercise. All caches were found in good working order but the log in this one is full.
I live nearby so please contact me if you would like me to replace the log.
Also, the hint says Small Bush but I found it against a tree with bark over it.
 
11-Jan-15
First find
 
10-Jan-15
Took geocoin had fun finding this one
 
29-Dec-14
Nice and easy spotted it thanks to my angle of arrival as I was about to search as per the clue, which was not applicable to this caches current location. Managed to squeeze a geocoin in which I felt suited this cache perfectly. TFTC!

Found @ 11:11pm, find # 3746.

Tonight I was out with biggles1024, back to our Friday night caching adventure with a couple of goals to complete.
As the sun is staying around longer these days and with the warm temperature as well as being Halloween, there were a lot of muggles about tonight.
We headed over to this one and had a short search before finding this novel and unusual cache container, it was then a task to find a spot to sign as all the log sheets are full.

Thanks to Haw0006 for placing this cache.

Find #1610

I headed out with Stemicmitsar for another Friday night caching run, with main goal in mind. We headed north-west to try our luck there. The warm evening, daylight saving and Halloween combined to bring the muggles out in force. Surprised
A novel hide which was found without any trouble at night but after finding checking the hint revealed a hint that is not applicable to the cache in it's present location.

This was the second last cache (of 12 for the day and interspersed with some shopping at University Hill). Was with Funsize Manor. He had me looking in the very prickly acacia bushes and gettin scratches and prickles in my hands and arms while he sauntered over to GZ and came up with the goods. We both thought the phone idea was fantastic and so I'm giving it a favourite. Well done even though I'll be scratching for days!!!

Different but log needs replacing,TFTC
 
24-Aug-14
Very clever!
 
23-Aug-14
Clever...
 
17-Aug-14
I always love different cache containers and this one was certainly a doozy. It gave a large smile as I first opened the cleverly constructed hide and the surprise that lay within too. This one certainly gets a favourite point.
Thanks to Haw0006 for this cache.

Little bit of a search. Very clever cache.

Thanks for the great cache haw0006.

Forgot to add that the log sheet has ran out of entries. I had to sign the back of the cache description.
