Hint means nothing, no green dot, looked under lots of rocks, climbed, clambered over many, had no luck finding anything other than rocks. TFTC Team_Setter
Took us a few attempts to get onto the tracks to bring us to GZ but we enjoyed the drive out in the sun.Even saw someone joggingTFTC
Think it took us longer to work out how to get to the track that took us to the cache. So many cul-de-sacs Eventually worked it out, and had a nice drive to the back of Tom Price. Made a reasonably quick find among the rocks. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
Holy Dooley! That took some searching, got there in the end after I changed tatics when i realised it wasnt a ammo box anymore (shame). Was a good way to kill some time while my Mother was on her tour of Tom Price Mine! TFTC!
We headed out on the Para - TP loop on a caching mission, this was such a huge part of growing up in the Pilbara, oh the memories TFTC
Found with SLIZZ~
Took quite a bit of hunting amongst the rocks.
Ammo box is long gone- small plastic box is what you’re after.

Nice little historical location we didn’t know about - TFTC! Found it after about 20 minutes of scouting the area. The hint didn’t help with finding the location and the coordinates are a handful of metres off. It’s likely someone knicked the original ammo crate, but we found the small plastic sistema lunchbox, which somehow had the original log book in it from 2013. The plastic bag had disintegrated so we will make a trip out to replace it sometime soon to add extra weather protection. Made a slight addition to assist future finds - X marks the spot!
Headed to this one with a work mate who had never heard of geocaching. I told him all about it on the walk in and he seemed quite interested. At GZ, we began a methodical search, and after about 15 minutes I spotted it 
. We found the sistema that pug002 placed with what looks like the original logbook .. not sure what iluvtrekking found [?]
I added my name to the logbook, but old mate will have to come back and sign it if he takes a liking to the game
I used to have radio controlled cars, but i was struggling to see where the track may have been here back in the day. Another interesting spot you have brought us to though!

This certainly is a desolate and forgotten area. The MNRCC is in ruins and has not been used for many a long year, driving in the area is no longer permitted, much has changed since this cache was set.
It took quite a while to locate the remnants of the cache and we weren't in a position to go back to the car for a replacement container. It may be time to let this one go or replace the container and log. Thanks search Team_Setter.

pug002 found it 17/8/2018 on our trip north geocaching. Off on another day of hopefully not too much mountain goating. Could not find it as we were looking for a military amo, no go. Read a log which said they found a log book in a bag under a rock. We replaced it with a Sistema. co-ords are about 5 metres out. TFTC Team_Setter 
The access point the GPS sent us to said no entry so we went back to the park opposite the school and Mr Beetle unloaded the mountain bike and headed off. As I had just walked up Mole Hill it was his turn!!!
When he came back he told me he had to go through a river, up a mountain, walk through the spinifex whilst being chased by a snake......... All products of his imagination I think.
This was our last cache in Mt Tom Price and we got them all except the one at Mount Nameless. Didn't fancy tackling that in the drizzle this morning by foot and don't think the views would have been all that crash hot as the top of the mountain was covered in clouds.
Thanks.

We found the same as previous cacher. No cars allowed, so we walked. Nice walk but no local wildlife seen. TFTC
Found with great difficulty!! Could not drive in at all as every road we tried was either closed off or prohibited area!! Decided to walk in and soon saw the sign! No rock with green dot and no ammo box, suspect some evil person has swiped it maybe. But found the log book in a plastic bag under a small rock so signed it and off we go. Nice place for a cache TFTC
Apologies for the late log. I've been on a road trip to WA with some caching along the way and only now am I catching up on logs. After driving from Coral Bay we got to Tom Price late afternoon and booked into the motel. Just enough time to scoot around town and pick up three cache of which this was the second. A great spot to visit that we certainly wouldn't have come by if it wasn't for the cache. Drive the 4WD up here and that was fun in itself. A quick search and I had the cache in hand. Spotted a little local wildlife on the way back to the car. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Team_Setter.
Found today and with Bjossi and the geograndkids. This one's been on my to do list for ages. An easy track and find. TFTC
That was easy. All I had to do was drive there. SweetFA and kids took care of the rest.
Great spot. Found tin peeping out after standing on top of the rocks for a bit. Gps was a bit all ver the place. Tftc
Ended up in Tom price tonight with an hour to kill. What better to do than grab a cache ?
After a find around the corner, we headed up here and found car access to said track.
Pulled up nearby and it was my muggle mate who found the cache.
Team_Setter - Kyzabra found your cache M.N.R.C.C. on 9/09/2015 3:40 pm. This is my find #3710 and find #2 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Out and about with pprass on a morning run at Tom price. So red out here. Little trickery finding a way in by the 4 wheel drive by we managed a way behind the houses. Good access then. Love ammo cans out here. Your friends the spinak is very friendly, ouch!! Thanks for the cache
Found at 8:09 AM GAFF1 in the company of xambo4u.
We enjoyed trying to find the access track to get here and were concerned at one stage when we saw a sign that stated no 4wd entry and a max. $10k fine
Had a few moments searching amongst the rocks and the GPSr was not being very co-operative (Taking us from one end of the rocks to the other) However after a few minutes the GPSr settled down and basically pin pointed the hide which we could just see a bit of the green can peeping from under the rock.
Thanks Team_Setter.

Were with xamb4u & pprass on this tricky stroll through the spinifex. Thanks Team-Setter for the cache.
Really nice walk. Stick to the fire trails and you will find your way quiet easily. Lots of swaps. Great cache. TFTC 
found it today with a fello cacher.
a little hint so you can drive right to it, via a bush track, only one spot at the end of the bitumen road which you might not get a 2wd car in, 4wd no problems.
traveling along Central rd take the Kulai st turn off, follow to the end and you can enter the track straight ahead, if this is blocked you can do the same via Larnook st.
from there do your thing and its a quite easy find, the green dot on the rock makes it real easy!!

Wanted to attempt this cache by 4WD today. Google satellite images clearly show tracks to the cache, however we were thwarted at every attempt to leave the bitumen by signs indicating that this is a prohibited area and heavy fines apply.
Not wanting to walk in the heat of the day, sadly we decided that this cache will be crossed off our To Do list.

Had to abandon my plans for a FTF on Mole Hill so decide to head for this cache. Geokid was less than thrilled on the walk there but realised on the way back to the car it really wasn't that far! TFTC and geokid is thrilled to have our FTF trophy!!
