Took a friend here today but it seems either to be missing or moved from where I found
Found this while on our Aussie adventure...travelling from Canada, with kristi_7619. I had my pokey-stick all ready, but this one was damaged and needed work. A clever hide though.
Couldn't extract it but was found! Looks a bit like the lid has come off so didn't wish to pull the guts out trying. Dan may wish a quick revisit to check.

An intersting object in the Museum precinct. Shame the old museum was closed. This one aint in the same class. TFTC
Clever. Was unable to retrieve log as tweezers were required . We sent sometime in the museum which was interesting. Thank you for leading us here.
My three year old had trouble finding this one. Thank goodness I have height on my side. Didn't have a pen to claim my discovery! 
On my first day in Newcastle we went around the town and visited the spot with other internationals students.
I came back on my last day here and found the cache. Really nice to come full circle with this.
TFTC! Had fun finding it!

Log needs replacing and container could be replaced as the lid no longer closes air correctly anymore and is no longer water proof.
Found on our caching day in Newcastle. An easy find in a prominent statue in the lovely wharf district. Had a lovely lunch at the pub while here. TFTC.
After having a loverly swim at the Newcastle Ocean Baths this afternoon and in need to attempt to get to too finds before the end of the year i stopped off here on the way home and made this find. Must say it was a great little spot to plant a cache. I can imagine that this location would get quite busy at times.
Retrieved the cache at 5.04pm and noticed that it no longer closes correctly.
Was able to find a spot to sign on the log which is full and needs replacing.

Easy find. Don't push it back in too hard. Makes it difficult to remove for the next person
Quickly located the lid .... then... with a bit of effort... the logsheet and the rest of the cache!!!!! Thanks for the hide!!!
Heute habe ich den Cache gefunden. Allerdings lässt sich die Dose nicht entnehmen.
Please repair that.
Hier ist der Fotolog, wenn es geduldet wird.

Easy find, eye looked everywhere but was to short to search the top. Geodad found it and we poked it out with our pen. Saw another cacher give up searching and tried to reach him but were to late. TFTC
what a nice place for a hide. although the only problem I had was I had to use tweezers to get the paper out as the container was stuck, although easily replaced log and cap to cache. Positive great hide. SL. TFTC. 
Log is full although I did manage to squeeze my name onto it on a small bit of space i found. Please replace log paper.
beautiful sculpture and one of my favourite animals. What did someone say about putting the camel through the eye of the needle ? Tftc and greetings from new zealand the land of 40 million sheep and no camels
Someone didn't put the lid of properly lucky had a pair of keen eyes and found it in the dirt and put back.
Found this one really quickly which in itself is a surprise for the Boof. Found while out celebrating Jodie Hs victory in the Charlestown by-election
TFTC after a trip from the west I needed to get out and stretch my legs. An easy find. Hard to put back due to muggle suddenly appearing in droves.
Just came back to this one with new friends, the cache has been wedged in place and can't get it out.
8801 + 1004 = 9805. Found during a visit up to Newcastle.
Drove up to Newcastle today to visit some friends. Went for a walk along this area and up to Nobbys Head. This was a nice quick find - luckily no muggles about ! Love the placement of this one.
Thanks danwashere !

My favourite today! After coming from another geocache and buying a few bottles of good local wine we found it quite easily. TFTC
A good cache. Without the hint this one would have been much harder.
