Sunday 25 August 2013 - a glorious sunny winter's day without a cloud in the sky however a slight cool breeze kept my jacket zipped. Looked high and low not realising that it hadn't been found for a while.
After three DNF's I think a check by the owner might be in order to see if it is truly gone, or just our poor looking! Thanks.
No joy on this one - very cold afternoon to be poking about in the long grass. Either I am blind or the cache has gone walkabout.
Found this cache with Wasptor and fraggle_rock. i found this one before mum and dad had a chance to really look. TFTC!
Day 174; cache 174. As our last attempt failed, we decided to give this one another go, this time in broad daylight. Thankfully it was quickly picked up by our 8 yr old T-rex05. TFTC!
2013: 174 Days In A Row - We had been here previously on a cold, wet night having a poke around with a single torch. It was a bit wet and we had no luck, so we came back during the day today, and found it pretty quickly. Not sure how we missed it last time. TFTC
Was in the neighbourhood..............no I wasn't, that's a dreadful lie but after reading logs, decided this would best be done on a working day. Still a few people about. As per others, don't think this will survive a heavy rain.
Needed to fill in an hour or so close to home till the lad regained consciousness and a doggy wander around the suburbs fitted the bill. All found quickly. Am surprised this one hasn't succumbed to water retention yet.
Found on a quick morning run around the soccer field areas. There were many muggles on the nearby oval, but no one on the tennis courts. After parking nearby and walking down, the hint was quickly read which made a quick find. Nice little hide, however I think flooding may impact it in the future as this is a natural drain way. Anyway, nice little courts. TNLNSL. TFTC CH83!
We stopped in at our local supermarket on the way home from some caching, and added one more find to our total! Thanks CacheHunter83.
Find Number 100 ! Found this with my Dad fitzy_1965 and sis Stardust2410. Finally catching up with my logs.
TFTC.

6734 + 842 = 7576. Found with GSC2000 and Stardust2410 while waiting for Soccer to start !
We had to wait for a few muggles to move along but then a quick grab, sign and return and we were on our way to the next one !!
Thanks CacheHunter83 !!
TNLN - TFTC !!

This was the sixth cache I picked up while having a nice afternoon ride. Armed with a new hint, I made an assult today on the cache. You guys in the area certainly like tennis! Aquick find in the end, can't believe we missed it! TFTC CacheHunter83!
Well how about that, here we are almost home and a visit to the shops for some supplies enabled me to sneak this find in.
I had time to take the long way home and find some suburban caches along the way. The GPS took me to the fence but the hint put me back on track. If it ever rains again I wonder it the cache will survive? Thanks....
A quick while heading home.......hope all goes well with it.
Thanks for the cache CahceHunter83

With people coming and going all over the place, I had to choose my gap carefully, but with good timing and a bit of luck this was soon found and signed. Thanks.

This was a nice quick find after a shopping trip to Woden. We were glad the ditch provided stealth from the tennis muggles. Thanks CacheHunter83
Found @ 3:37pm
Didn't need the hint but not the place I would have hidden it as very wet weather will more than likely take its toll.
Thanks CacheHunter83

A great day to be out caching, and especially with Secret Squirrel who teamed up for the day.
It will be interesting to see how this cache survives a good down pour. TFTC

Found this one whilst in the area to watch son play soccer. The clues were great. found this easily. It was a beautiful day to be out and about coaching in between parental duties.

6942. [green]Headed out for a quick cache nearby to home-ish. This one was chosen as an almost drive-by. Took the torch and hand it in hand quickly - the cache took longer but after a little bit of wandering up and back there it was. [/green]
[blue]Thanks for the cache CacheHunter83 and the juice. [/blue]

you need to do an "Owner Maintenance" log to remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute (otherwise some people might not look for it)...
After extra instructions were given I returned this evening and made a quick find. TFTC.
1989. I decided to call in on this one again on my way to work. I didnt even need to get the iPhone out of my pocket this time. Not sure what happened here last time?????
Thanks CH83 for the cache.

Hmmmm, Hmmmm, and more hmmmmm. A quick find on the way to work this morning, Ta.
Woohoo! *FTF* #89!
Seeing all the logs on this I figured the cache had been muggled or the coordinates had been fat-fingered. So this morning I noticed (via the GCA daily email) that the difficulty had changed and a fairly explicit hint had been added. So I dashed out this morning figuring that even if the coordinates were out I could still find it if it was there.
I got to GZ, went to where the hint says, found the thing and found the cache. Checked GPS. 5m to GZ with 6m accuracy. Nothing wrong with that.
So I can report that it doesn't need archiving, but it does need a maintenance log to get rid of the "Needs Maintenance" attribute. And I am pretty confident that after the first big storm that it will be full of water.

No Action, no response??????
Does this cache need archiving. I too checked the location and 20m all around. Not There!

Four sets of eyes, two laps of the tennis court and nearby gully all came up negative.
A hint from the CO perhaps?

I was going to claim the first DNF, but I was beaten to it. I came with torch, searched near the courts, the trees and in the gully. I widened my search but still no luck. Of course I could have missed a micro in the dark easily, but this is listed as a small.
I was getting ready for a nice evening when this one came up and I had to at least try for FTF. Got to GZ to find Boot65 (nice to meet you again) already searching for the cache. We both had our worries about the location and after about 20 minutes of searching we still had nothing. We checked every tree, pole, bush, log, hole, branch, gully, stump and pile of leaves under the leaves. We also checked the fenceline but not the either. We searched the whole area but still no luck. Even when Joshua2001 (nice to meet you as well) came to GZ we still couldn't find the cache! Had to give up in the end as both my GPS and Boot65's phone were running out of battery. I amy come back to GZ someday to search again but I think a check of coordinates may be required. It's either that or all three of us had complete cache blindness on a 1 star difficulty cache. Thanks anyway...
