Nice find!
 
16-Jul-20
We found it but we could not write anything on the paper because it was damp!!

Good hiding spot!!!
 
10-Jul-20
Found after a bit of looking. The sign log is looking worse for wear (water damaged), as the ziplock it was in had been destroyed. I replaced it to the best of my ability as i had a sandwhich bag on me, but the next person to come along should bring a new ziplock.


Also, the cache is not black, despite the description. Very fun cache, tftc!
 
10-Jul-20
Log is water damaged. I replaced destroyed ziplock with a sandwhich bag but it is not water tight, and will need a new ziplock

Really awesome geocache. Though some of the clues and hints are a bit off. Its not a black container there's a little hint. Don't believe the sign that says no cache there's definitely one there. TFTC lots of fun the CranneyCachers.

Great spit
 
Stayed in Mur'bah overnight for the GIFF event. Found a few caches this morning on our way home.

We were lucky to bump into more geocachers here, ones from NZ. It made the search much quicker as they made the find.

Thanks for the cache. Always nice to meet fellow geocachers in the field!
Cheers

On holiday from NZ. Great to wander around and enjoy the area. Got to GZ and came across a couple of dodgy looking carachters. (Not really). Great to meet you both and thanks for the pathtag swap. Nice to have a different cache container to find. Many Thanks.

I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these cache. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers

Thanks, very creative

It’s broken
 
17-Jul-19
Came with my mum and dad, couldnt find it but it had been found just the day before so was sure it was still around. After ages of looking we gave up. Came back on my own the following day and something looked different where I was sure it was... thought I found it but couldnt open it came back today with mum and finally SUCCESS! Very clever "container" for anyone struggling dont look for your usual containers, look for something that looks like it belongs but once touched or picked up clearly doesnt! Or check out old photos here for a big clue on exactly where to look.
 
13-Jul-19
Thank you!! 4 x happy chicks!!
 
10-Jul-19
Took us a while but really smart little find. Signed and put back together.
 
04-May-19
Clever spot... took us a little while to realise that was it. Smile
 
04-May-19
Installed new log book in new clip lock poly bag and generally bombproofed the thing
 
03-May-19
Cache is currently removed and it will be fixed shortly
 
28-Apr-19
Pity the hide is broken. The log was damp but I was able to sign. Thanks for the great effort here with this one
 
26-Apr-19
Pulled over on my way up north to grab this one, but it looks like there's been some damage to GZ. Found the logbook and pen OK, but they were soaking wet. I was able to make my mark, but only just. I replaced everything back to how I think it should have been, but it looks like some parts are broken unfortunately. I can see there was a lot of effort put into this cache, loved it!

Laughing at myself

Such an awsome spot for a cache

Out today with RoddyC, hattzofff and Snickersallan for a fun filled day caching south of the border.

Parked safely across the road and made our way to GZ. I took the high road but realised it was at a different elevation. Hatzofff found the clever hide. SL then returned as found.

A favourite point from me.

hatzofff and I are with Snickersallan and Patrol14 picking off a few caches over the border.

Would have been good in its hey-day, but still impressive idea. All in good order.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 2:27 pm on 5 March 2019. TFTC, Spikey100.

Checked this out. Geocache is still there , its dry and contains notebook ,biro and 1 find log . Area is a bit trashed but in actual fact cache is more visible now than it ever was ! Remember ! "Things are not what they might seem to be." Geo cachers need be brave and be prepared to use their hands .
 
23-Feb-19
Area looked a bit trashed :/
 
23-Feb-19
Area looks very “muggled.” No joy today Sad
 
31-Jan-19
Looked pretty hard on the horse trail, but no luck

Sunday cache drive down the coast over the border. Checked on this one after a previous DNF when it was missing. Found between riding groups heading for an afternoon ride on the beach. Nice new log to sign. TFTC Spikey100

Day Two of our caching from our base at the Murwillumbah showgrounds. Today we were impressed with the coastal scenery as well as the hinterland scenery which presented itself at every turn. We enjoyed finding this cache. After being introduced to the chocolate coated frozen banana yesterday we were on the lookout today and managed to get one at the place just up from the Fruit Platter cache. Nice. Thankyou Spikey100 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area Big GrinBig Grin

This geocache has been out of order for a while . It has now been restored to its former glory and the horses still walk past.
 
14-Nov-18
No cache found.
 
20-Oct-18
Hmm sounds as though this one has gone astray. Been a bit busy of late but I will get down and give it some TLC

Selva Girls and I were caching in Northern NSW today, and this cache was next on our hit list. We had read the description and looked at the photos of the various things we may find, as well as quite a few logs, so we began in the obvious place and then expanded our search into the bush on either side for 10 or 15m. We found several broken green and black meter boxes, and various other cans, bottles, a thong....but no plastic bag with a log and no pipe or other container. We spent around 40 minutes hunting, but no find for us today. We wondered whether the previous find of a log in a ziplock bag (which did not match the pictures of an actual book in previous photos) may have been supplied by a visiting cacher and not the CO, as no maintenance log or change in hint or description exists on the page. Perhaps this one needs a CO check and some love so it can be found again.

Do not recommend looking for cache. We think it has been muggled as we read some posts about it behind near a black meter container but found black meter container sitting on side of bank. Someone has moved the container away from the meter. It looks like it has been destroyed a couple of times but other geocahers have fixed it. Maybe the same muggled have come back and destroyed cache multiple times as a joke.
 
12-Oct-18
Looks like it's been destroyed a couple of times and we found black meter book discarded on bank.
 
02-Oct-18
A quick look but co-ordinates kept bouncing around.
Not having much luck.

We are on holyday from the Netherlands and traveling from Brisbane to Sydney. Today it's raining and cold (22 degree). 5 years ago we had stormy weather. This cache has been found easily at 12:01. But is the cache around the log-paper missing?

Found this one quickly...concerned that log was just sitting in sand with no cover or container. We placed it in a small plastic baggie as shown in pic and put it back however owner may want to find it another container as I think it's been muggled. TFTC
 
10-Jan-18
Something is wrong with it.

Found the log sheet in a hiding spot but nothing else. May have been muggled

During my geocaching education of the muggle nephewthis afternoon , I’d mentioned to him that a good principle to work from was to look for the thing that was out of place. He used this to spot the hide before I’d even started to look.

Found it easier to approach from the south so we could park on around Mountain Road. TFTC Spikey100

Nice hiding spot

Woohoo, my second cache! Bit harder to find. Love the pink.

Sneaky hiding spot.

Found it, well sort of. No cache attached to its supporting structure.

Left a bison tube inside the said structure with a replacement log sheet.

CO or next finder may wish to firmly tether the bison tube to the structure...**TFTHide Spikey100**

Found very wet log but not in container.
