Logs
I can very honestly confirm all that was said in Gaz'n'Kabs 'Needs Archive' log. On electrical equipment, vandalism of the CO and inaccurate co-ords. I wanted to swing by and check this cache was indeed gone so as to not cause alarm.
There are two electrical boxes here and I did search the wrong one first. There were some muggles keeping a close eye on me as I moved to the correct one, had a look and found the cache. Inside was very wet. So, in contrast to the Disable log, the cache had not been removed, but as this placement does not do anything good for our sport, nor the surrounding area and infrastructure, it has been removed now.
Perhaps next time the cache owner should stop, think and read the listing requirements before hiding their next geocache. TFTC sazzandjam.

Your comments to the reviewer before publication appear not to be accurate.
Traditional caches are required to be at the listed coordinates.
Cache is therefore archived.

This cache is 30m from posted co-ords, which was intentionally done according to the owners logs, has intentional vandalism by writing in wet concrete about the cache location, and is also placed on Energex Electrical Equipment. This one needs to be put to rest.

Found. If anyone was watching they'd have had a huge laugh. In the end it was 'darh'. TFTC
All quiet in the area today so I decided to swing past for a look around. Now, I was not really sure what was going with the cache as it was a traditional listing but the cache was obviously not at GZ. Hmm... So there's no point looking there I guess... [?]
I wandered around til my GPS suggested I was 29m away from GZ, as suggested by previous finders. Then I arced around until I reached a likely spot. Wasps nests sighted, I was obviously in the right spot and I soon spotted container... [^]
Cache out, I removed the log but was unable to unroll it due to the moisture so I peeled the edge away and added my name to the top. Re-rolled, I tucked it away and headed off.
Cheers sazzandjam.

Couldn't write in log to wet also wasp nest is close to cache lucky it was cold they weren't to active
Walked in from home over the man made hills and gullys approached from the south wrong way Coords were about 20 meters out on my phone used previous finders hints to find it wasps nest is about 30 centimeters from cache enjoyable walk tftc

Well, I'm sorry to say I think I'm going to have to give this one a miss. After my original visit some time back I have driven by several time but it has always been way to busy. Today, being early Sunday morning I thought "now or never". Arriving at the GZ all was good not a soul in sight. I knew where to go and went to the correct area and following the 'set in stone' clue, set about 'feeling'. With in seconds I was in agony as the first spot I felt concealed a huge wasp nest. Nursing my very sore hand I debated how to continue the search. Certainly not by feeling!! On closer inspection after the wasps had settled I could see at least four separate nest of very alert guardians. About to rethink my attack when who should pull up but the local security guy, who was also not happy with my presence.... My patient explanation of why I was crawling around the site obviously didn't impress him. He took down my rego number and told me to leave. I thought "What a good idea!" Sooo, thanks for the hunt sazzandjam (I think?) but I'll leave this one to the more adventurous, ninja cachers.
The co-ords for this one were 29m out. The logbook is soaked and un-sign-able. Also, the cache is placed on electrical substation equipment.
We were heading out for dinner this evening, and decided to grab this one quickly. We pulled up alongside, and after a lengthy search, were about to give up, when we noticed everyone else mentioning that the coords were off. We expanded the search, and soon spotted the "set in stone", and after some fondling and poking, we eventually spotted the cache

This had us searching. Luckily JLB17 was here as she found the cache. A very sneaky hide!
Had us looking for a while. But I found it!!! Found along with NJB17 & MissSusan79.
Need some new log paper.

Phew! Out in the area for another FTF hunt and decided to grab this on the way past.
Thankfully I know the FTF cacher from this one and after finding what was set in stone and a bit too nervous about feeling the GZ, I decided to give him a call to make sure that what I was about to do would not be too dangerous.
I can see how this would be a lot easier at night, without the watchful eyes around...
This cache did make me a little nervous, but nice effort with it.
The log book is insanely hard to replace and even though only FTF and STF have been here, it is already getting quite ripped up :-/

Hey guys the cache is still in place. Read the hint and follow the footpath around and look for a good home for a lightning bolt. The cache is not exactly at the GPS location as that would be too obvious. The clue is easier to see during the day but access may be easier at night. . Good luck
I was not feeling good about this one after reading previous logs but as it's not far from home decided to stop by for a look. Nobody about being a Sunday but I had no joy and must agree with those before me that this cache has likely been swallowed up by the construction site. CO definitely needs to check on this one. I would suggest that this is not an ideal location for a cache anyway, as any search here will look highly suspicious.
Rocked up tp this cache to find the whole area a construction site. Perhaps the owner needs to check if the cache is still alive.
.FTF 6:11am 8 May 2013
I saw the listing last night when I came home. It was already past midnight and I was surprised no one had grabbed it yet. I thought to head straight out to try and get it, but my phone was running out of battery and I didn't want to race down to Springfield only to find I was looking at a blank screen.
So I plugged in the phone and did some things about the house. Checking again I saw still no logs. I was just thinking that I would head out when my dearly beloved calls out for me to bring the baby paracetamol because our little fellow had a temperature. So I take up the medicine and give my little boy a big cuddle and promptly fall asleep.
Waking up just before dawn I think “I’ll check if Zeus has been found”. I can’t stand the FTF siren song anymore and I hop in the car and tootle on down the Centenary to Springfield.
I got to GZ just about the same time as all the tradies arriving for work on the nearby construction site. I would have done well to have put on a high vis shirt, would have blended in perfectly. At least I had changed out of my jim-jams so I didn't look too odd.
I look where my phone is pointing and see a usual sort of a hiding place which sort of matched the hint. So I scan about trying to spot the tell-tale sign of a hide and come up with zip. Figuring that I should check the obvious nearby feature that would match the cache theme and I quickly see that I am on the right track
Trying not to look too conspicuous I take a good look at the feature. I have an idea what I am looking for but can’t see it anywhere. A second slow walk around and tada! I see that little something (not at all what I was expecting, but a hide tell-tale non the less.) and in a flash I have the cache.
I take it back to the car to sign and then spend a couple of minutes getting the log back in. I slip the cache back, the tradies more interested in getting to work that worrying about what I am doing.
TFTC Sazz and Jam! A bold hide, I liked it a lot. Also a Zeus is a fish genus so this one can go on my [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=76b2e8b5-1685-4850-be10-4cd6d8ea9a74]animal challenge[/url] list!

Stopped in here this morning but it was thick with construction workers. GPS put me in the middle of the round-a-bout and under a ute? That can't be right so I wandered over to the most likely spot given the clue and cast an eye over the possible hides. No way I could search without drawing attention so I think this will have to be an after hours hunt. Thanks sazzandjam I'll be back.
