Got a day off work so are taking the 2 youngest geokids out for a treasure hunt.
Couldn't find this one today and sounds like it's in need of some maintenance. Can CO please check on it?

Cache is present but in a bad way. It was buried quite deep. Didn’t sign. Attach photo. Thanks.
Looked high and low for a fair while but no luck - was very wet and ‘snakey’ - maybe we’ll give it another try later
As we don't watch the show we didn't understand the clue in the description but we found the cache log is wet but we're able to add our name in.
Mrs jinta and I decided to head out this morning to grab a few caches, we weaved our way from home towards Piara Waters picking up along the way.
This cache was on the to-do list and we managed to get our name in the log book .
MMMMBlair - jinta29 found your cache Maddie's Makka Pakka. This is my find #5360 and find #8 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

We placed a piece of paper in this one but it really could do with a plastic bag. Thanks
Found the ‘small’ cache with a red plastic ring in it. There’s no log sheet. TFTH MMMMBlair.
Kids put in a little something so the next little person at least finds something inside
If the cave is under the bridge then there is nothing small under there. Also nothing like the home of Maddie's Pontipines. Thank you for taking me here.
Tried as best we could but a muggle on a mowing machine was having far too much fun going round and round over the same piece of grass or was he watching us to see what we were up to.
Found on the second go around GZ. Was in the first place checked, just had to look better. TFTC MMMMBlair.
Sister gave us all a scare when she picked up a live bobtail, thinking it might be the cache! A bit of fun whilst caching, thank you
Splatt family find. Great camo, geo kids loving the treasure hunting afternoon
Learnt a few lessons this morning, one of them being, never dismiss anything - loved this one TFTC
A find after many attempts with help from a small hint from Helbren

Finally found it after many attempts (won't disclose how many)!! I did ask for a hint from Helbren at WAGB! So thanks for this cache!

TFTC! After helping out a mate today with some work at his place I decided to grab some caches. Thanks
Great to clear up a previous DNF, was a well hidden cache. Had to get on all fours to grab it from its place. Can be nasty depending on the leaf litter. Probably worth more than d1.5

A third visit to the site armed with the fruits of research into the night garden was focused on finding a certain object. Found it at long last. Went home to celebrate . TFTC
Hello All,
My apologies I meant to write this note two weeks ago after the previous DNF. Strolled to cache location from my own home base to check on this DNF ... Cache is still in place, check log, in good condition. Please feel free to message CO for assistance. I am usually no more than 50 metres from the cache location on any given day. Good luck! Michelle

Returned as promised. Looked, dug, scratched, lifted, looked again, mirrored, swished, cried and did not find again. Shall not return until someone does find it.
Searched for about 15 minutes and were about to give up when saw it. Didn't find anything in it except the log, which was a pain to get out. Tftc
Been here a couple of times previously for no joy. Today I decided to come back for another go. Searched around for a bout five minutes with the GPSr not wanting to settle.
Had a read of some logs and got an idea of what I should be looking for and started to search the spots that I had already tried and found the well hidden cache where I had looked before.
Glad to cross this one off the list.

Looked at this cache a few times, without realising that it was the cache. Camo worked perfectly. I have found heaps of this kind before so no reason why I shouldn't have seen it earlier. TFTC

Came back again today to do another attempt and found the cache in the most likely spot so must have just missed finding it the last time if it was within a metre of where I found it today.
Thanks MMMMBlair for the cache.
Thanks MMMMBlair for the cache.
On the geo-bike again to find the Pirate Waters series. Beautiful suburb, perfect weather, quiet morning without muggles to make search easier. No luck here
Took a walk to check on Maddie's Makka Pakka. While Maddie has practically outgrown this childhood soap opera, the cache placed in her honour ages more gradually. Cache well and truly in place, although did move it a metre or so, back to original co-ords. Log book is a nano contained within a small container. Room for swaps if anyone is so inclined Michelle
One of ten for the day while out for a plesant afternoon with my Geograndsons Conaid

Today MNS13 & I made plans for a play date for our 2 year olds & of course it was a play date involving finding caches After our DNF here last time we were determined to make a find here today! I think last time we were looking for something a little larger but after our find earlier today at Pontipines, MNS13 was quickly onto this one today... TFTC MMMMBlair
Back in the area today, determined to find this one. We spent a few minutes searching in the wrong spot, but finally came up trumps, I could have sworn last time we searched there??
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Day to myself after dropping the kids at school so loaded my trusty bike in the back of the car and drove to a central point to knock all the nano's off in the area. Think I spent more time re-rolling the scrolls to get them back in!! A nice change not so little I thought, doh! More rolling my phone had me in the right direction and had the cache in no time TFTC!!!
Today it was just the boys out while the women folk went and did girly things..
We parked close to the first one and walked the rest, making us rather late for dinner and the other things we had meant to be doing, but when you’re on a good run and the next cache is only 300 m away, you can’t stop, even if it does mean a long walk back when you finally decide enough is enough.
We knocked off 9 today and one DNF tho it was archived so I guess we will not log that one
It took awhile for the GPS to settle and then it was just a matter of searching all the spots it may be in..
Seen this type before, log nice and dry.

After reports of rubbish and DNF's visited GZ. Cache in place at original co-ordinates and no rubbish (non-biological that is!) could be seen. Happy hunting!
Spent the day with MNS13, whilst my kids were at kindy/daycare today... This was our last hunt for the day before heading home to get our kids from school!
I'm not sure what happened here but we couldn't find it... Our GPSr's did not suggest the obvious spot, but we still searched there with no luck? Maybe after reading the logs, we were disheartened thinking we had to search amongst the rubbish there? Anyway I'm sure we will return another day... Thanks MMMMBlair

Out caching with Janine and Nate today, for some reason this cache name seemed farmiliar to me, not sure why, but anyway my iphine had me all over the place for this one. We looked in the obvious place, but could not find it. Checked some of the recent logs, extended our search area, but still we came up empty handed.
Perhaps another day. Thanks for the hunt MMMMBlair
Perhaps another day. Thanks for the hunt MMMMBlair
1st find for the 31 days of caching challenge for this month, only another 30 to go tftc
Oh dear, have gotten so far behind in logging my finds over the past few days, so now have to catch up. Found this one on a caching run with Luna Maya. I was expecting this one to be somewhere other than where I was focussing my search. Found it eventually though. Thanks MMMMBlair
I'm absolutely amazed each time I come into this area to see new streets and houses going up everywhere. In addition to the streets and houses are these very nice little parks, a perfect place for a cache. I always seem to search the wrong spot first I don't know why.........
Thanks MMMMBlair.
Thanks MMMMBlair.
A lot of talk on the way to the cache about why it was named so Found quickly by Ooh Yeh SL TFTC MMMMBlair
i was out on a day of caching with Skippy 46 and Luna Maya and this was our last cache of the day. The cache only took a few minutes tofind but its a pity about all the rubbish near GZ. TFTC MMMMBlair
Last one for us after a successful day of geocaching with Ooh Yeh and Luna Maya.
Made a quick find here with the 3 of us searching.
TFTH TFTC MMMMBlair
btw....my grandsons love the show too

While working in the area I saw this one published, so I finished the job I was doing then went to scout this one out. Arrived at GZ which is deep in Allied Prankster land, using the Galaxy S3 and Neongeo, the cache was quickly found.
I qualified for the TB as I was born 16/3, how lucky was that, so I will move along soon. Thx for the FTF pin, SL TFTC MMMMBlair
