Seems to hard to find so it's gone

Will try again in the near future.

Not Today

Well well well if it qasnt for ny brother whi thinks outside the box and looks higher than eye level then we wouldn't have found it. Given it was an accident he was trying to get a better view. Now I have found it its so obvious. Tftc its got some wear and tear maybe a touch up to blend it again.

Found it on Nov 20 but returned the next day to sigh the log... finally!

Mrs Just a Trifle has just worked out how to update her GSAK database from the GPS to indicate those caches found. Well you know what that means don't you? Yep, we have found a few caches which we have not yet logged so now we are trying to catch up with the on-line logging.

We were in the area to find a specific cache that would meet the last requirement for a newly published challenge cache we were hoping to get first to find on. Seeing as we had made the drive up, we figured we might as well find a few additional caches while we were at it. Thank you for having placed the cache keithnhazel.

Found at 0700 on our way to Breakfast. Thanks keithnhazel for a very clever hide and cache construction. Really looks like it is supposed to be there and yes it is in plain sight. A little wear and tear is starting to show thru. Because of what it is I think the difficulty should be a 4 but that is just me. Signed log YOF as this is what I use on this type of log so that I do not take up too much paper space. I think that you either find it or dont find it as the additional hint is accurate but depends on interpretation and exactly where you commence your search. TFTC keithnhazel.

A quick find for a very well hidden cache. Our thanks to keithnhazel for this hide and a fav from us.

I spent a long time looking for this one with no success.

Yes, well ... er, what can I say that hasn't already been said ?

So I will just go along with the majority vote and say "Didn't find it !!!"

It is nice to know the cache is really there [^]

nice hide took me so many times and hours to find thanks for the cache

Yes, we did visit the scene when we passed through Bundaberg, on August, 15th, but we didn't start searching. Met a nice local geocacher at the Heritage Tower just before visiting this place. We talked about Payback and our Belgian note some weeks before. A hint was an option, be we didn't go any further. Grtz from Belgium and happy trails!

Emailed CO because of how hard this hide is and CO was gracious to give a clue, have found this cache now it is a brilliant yet simple hide. Don't ask me for clues I cannot give any so please don't ask I am sworn to secrecy, if you have any problems please email the CO! Well worth a favourite. TFTC keith and hazel!!

Congratulations Julie&GGs on your find, and for confirming that it is there and ready to be found, We do think that the locals must think it's a fake hide.

We found this elusive cache on our 2nd visit thanks to a hint from the CO and using the important hint of 7 across and 2 down. This is an ingenious cache that has been very cleverly designed and constructed. Please be careful when you find it as it needs to be handled with care. We think this cache is one of the best caches we have found and therefore will give it a well deserved favourite.
TFTC keithnhazel and for the challenge your cache presented to us.

Sorry all for such a hard cache, it was never meant to be so hard but it seems to be, Two have found it so I will add another clue, Good luck
Keithn hazel

Sorry to say we are joining the long list of DNFs even though we did spend quite a long time seeking but not finding your elusive cache. Even though we were caching with Jannwendy and Bundybirder 4 pairs of eyes did not see the cache this afternoon!! So thanks for the challenge of not finding your great hide keithnhazel!!

Congratulations to the FTF. It does not mater how many finds you have or how long you have been playing the game it all comes down to looking in the right spot at the right time processing what you see and or touch and luck.

Do the rest of us get a clue now Keith?

This has now been found at long last, I have rechecked the cache and has a small piece of damage done to it so it may be a bit more noticeable now, It is fragile so please take care when removing it

looked straight past it last time now that it has been found it is easier to see tftc

Tried again today. Nothing looked different to me or stood out. I can't wait to find it. Good Luck to all.

Don't believe I am the one to find it, I've been told about this one and I'm here for the power boats and just wanted to have a look, Have contacted owner for verifacation'

Loving the comments, almost worth a few hours drive to try and find it. Just wish it was closer.
Heading up that way in a few weeks will have to make this one one of my must try .

Great work keithnhazel.

ok I spent about an hour looking for this one, even my dad won't give me a hint, I have seen him making things in the shed but I am unable to work out what he's doing sometimes, he said that he will start giving hints next week, I'll sit back and wait like the rest off you.

Hello from Belgium! A taste of Rum made us look for caches in the neighbourhood and by accident we stumbled over this nice one, just some minutes ago... What a beauty. In a few weeks time we'll be passing Bundaberg. Surely, you won't wait for us to have a FTF?! Otherwise, no need to hurry, just be patient for our (perhaps) helping hands

Another unsuccessful hour or so. So many emotions evoked on this one. Fun, Excitement, Frustration, Exhaustion, Boredom and Defeat. OK, Keithnhazel YOU WIN!. We give up and will wait until some other cacher finds it or you reveal all. Well done on this one....Pat and Bill ........prehnite

I too have been a couple of times and have been unable to find it. I have only been at night so far but I feel that I have scoured every inch of that area... I guess not!

I would be very keen to attend an event to try and solve this one! I would only be able to attend on a weekend though!

Thank you keithnhazel for this challenging (albeit frustrating) cache!

Well I just don't beleive it, Looks like we may have the hardest cache to find in Bundy? Clues will come very soon so watch this space.

Had two visits to site today and spent nearly 90minutes here. GPSr had me in one spot and I could not see it. Will be back about 0730 Friday for another hour of looking. Hopefully this time I might be lucky. If not will keep coming back till I go home Sunday morning.

Brought the boy this time to have a look in diminishing light after a little munzee run over east. Got him to look while I was focussed on the gps just trying to get to the co-ordinate of the cache if I got the east right couldn't get the south right and vice-versa. Believe I found a spot about 2-3 metres from the cache, and if it is where I think it is it is a totally different hide to my original thoughts. We might have another try in better light, will require much patience if it is where I think it is, TFTH!!

If you want to put on an event cache where you help everyone solve this one I will be there, never been to an event cache as none have been held since Fuddleys left

6 days to go and we will be there to maintain our hides and have a go at you

Well attempt 2 and no luck, this one is much too clever for us!

Insanity : Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein.

Well, I too have joined the ranks of multiple visits & I have run out of options, I have spend approx 4hrs looking for the little buggar & the site is looking more like a war zone every time I go back. It too is driving me mad but I have medication to fix that. I will sit back & wait for everyone else to go mad.

After so many DNFs and notes we thought that we had better check on Paybacks health. Thankfully he is alive and well, PLEASE don't damage any property, there is no need to, Remember Payback can see you.
If he is not found after a few more weeks I may call a get together and discuss his where abouts, Are you interested in that? (OH his a problem ayy.)

Pay back thanks all for your thoughts about my safety, but I am safe at the moment,Oh I have been watching you and some are climbing on things, there is no need for that, keep your feet on the ground.

This is driving me insane, we've been here almost every day!!! Where else can I look?

Went out to have another search for this cache today (gluttons for punishment). We were soon joined by another keen cacher. Looked for about an hour or so, but it still eluded us. Certainly getting PAYBACK for our own sneaky hides. All good fun though. Will probably try again. prehnite

Wow, we turned up to this one and saw everything turned upside down from everyone's previous efforts. It was quite funny to look at. The smell certainly wasn't though ewww. Anyway no such luck, today, I hope someone does find it soon though, it must be sending a few people crackers by now as it looks like it has many of us stumped!

We will be in Bundy on the 11th for four days and I will make this my first one if it has still not been given any hints. Not after the FTF just the challenge.

Well 9 DNFs I find that hard to believe, And I can say that the little fella is still in place, I will give a clue as soon as we have a 1st finder, Keep an eye on this space.

I might as well favourite this one already as it is obviously a good hide...

Came with high hopes of a FTF but after a long search checking and rechecking everything in site we came up with nothing. Must be a very clever hide! Will be back!

Could this turn into another Bifrost ?????

This was the 3rd or 4th time I have looked for this cache with Jann Wendy and Bundybirder. Kudos to you for finding such a good hide. In the meantime it is making me insane. I don't think there is anywhere else to look, but obviously there is. So, good luck to everyone looking.

Well third time looking & still empty handed. However we did notice that a large item that was there initially is now gone. I wonder?????

Tried our luck with this one today but as others before us searched high and low and in between but could not come up with a find. Will try again soon prehnite

Well, I've tried this one all week but no success... I'm always thinking of new possibilities, but no luck.

I'll try again later today, taking the GPS with me not just the phone although we gave the area a pretty thorough going over this morning.

Wow good hide this, too good maybe. Anyway thought I knew what I was looking for from the description but obviously not (wonders how much keith and Gavin think alike) tested everything at the GZ that I thought it could be but nothing was budging from where it looked like it ought to be. Looked at all the windows between every gap there but no joy. Not sure what I am looking for here entirely a bit scarey being a small nano not just an ordinary nano (bad enough) but little nano (thats pure evil) LOL. Anyway guys too good for me as well whoever finds it definitely deserves the prize on offer.

Have tried this one twice now. The description is quite accurate, "It'll probably drive u mad". It's obviously there somewhere but not sure where.

After a long long search we also came up empty handed. I can just imagine the grin on Keith & Hazels faces as the old saying is true. Payback is sweet!
Rest assured we will be back to conquer this one.

Too good for me
Will try again another day after having a rethink

Thanks for the chase
