Teddy bears picnic was transferred from the cache maker to user an old hag

Hopefully can get out there within the month and check on location and replace if necessary

DNF no 7 on this cache. We searched as best we could moving the 4x4 to add extra height each time. Might need some TLC

Looked but couldn't find it

Looked up high on the corners but no find

Unfortunately I finished 2015 with another DNF, some days one should leave the GPS turned off and not spoil a good drive. The location is all that is required the plastic box can wait for another day.

Got the car up close and had a look around but this one beat us today.TFTC.

couldn't search

can't find

Out and about in the area today as I have a day spare before meeting some friends tomorrow.
I am slowly making my way west and camped at Mt French last night. [^]
So today is a few drive by's exploring the local region.
I am sure this one is Missing.
Talked to previous finder to confirm what type of container and where it was.

This was a bit of a mission. I had the wrong side of the building. Car reversed, climbing, feeling... Made for a good laugh. Container in good condition. TFTC

a new cache in place thanks to a kindly cacher, thanks Kay, it is greatly appreciated.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We set off today to grab a couple of caches with not much planned, but just to enjoy a relaxing day in the county side This one was next up on the list for us today, so we continued our drive along the country roads and soon arrived at GZ. As suggested by the hint, we needed a bit of car manoeuvring to get to this one, and Kab soon had the cache in hand and our name added to the logbook [^]

Out caching for the day with Diamonjs and Aussie Liahona. Had completed the earlier water crossing series so was out today to look for the newer ones. Missing cache replaced with CO family permission. Fairly quiet here today. TFTC.

Out on a beautiful country drive in the wintery warm sun today we chose a number of caches to try to find to have a wonderful day geocaching in the countryside. What a lovely location this is. The dam looked beautiful today. With a previous finder with us we had a pretty good idea of where to look. Cache was missing. We contacted the CO family and received permission to replace the cache. It is in its prime location and we are grateful for the cache being out here to bring us to a place we've never visited before. We'll come again now we know the area. Thanks the cache maker! [^][^]

We came and had a look thinking we could just reach up as it is just a T of 1.5, but nothing doing. If you have to get equipment to get to it then it is a T of 4.0 or even a 5.0

Stood on the bonnet and did all that but didn't find anything.

Sigh, another DNF. No muggles. No excuses. Not exactly sure where it is supposed to be. GZ by my GPS is not anywhere that the clue fitted. I checked a few spots that did match the clue, but came away with no find.

Muggles were in the way. I will have to come back another day and have another go.

Joined the Teddy for a picnic. What a great place to visit on a perfect day All safe and easy to find

5 people and 2 car bonnets and we unfortunately could no find this one. Will tray again another day.

Quick today as hubby is taller than me...LOL

Called in here for a lovely lunch beside the water, while Rusty cooked the BBQ I checked for caches, oh look there are 3, got to do them. This one had us crawling, then finally got some mobile reception and got the idea of what to do. Oh look there it is. Nice hide TFTC

cache find # 1425. We did as others have done, and used the goetug as a ladder to obtain the cache. Quick find. All tucked away after signing the log. TFTC.

Boot was required, as well as sticks to fend off the spider webs! Awesome hide, tftc!

Managed to grab this by standing in the boot of the car. No teddy bear's today for us. TFTC

after getting a tip from the CO we returned to find the cache a little from the listed coordinates


TFTC

With a hint from the owner, returned to find the cache a bit away from GZ

Crawled all over this structure including getting on the roof but no luck in the fading light

TFTH

No luck today, late afternoon with low light, will make a earlier attempt.

found while having a picnic with rainforest cookie and ratdog 12, they had already picked up the smiley faces in this area and found this lunch spot while doing so which is why we were back here. Most people are going to be vertically challenged to this degree and we had left the car near the picnic table. Ratdog 12 was prepared to do her thing again for me, I would have fallen over for sure. Cache in hand, log signed, cache returned no problem. TFTC in such a nice hidden but well used area.

As I am of the vertically variety I came prepared with a step ladder!! Fortunately no muggles or teddy bears to spy on me! TFTC

I found a Teddy bear having a picnic and it was Felicity . but we found the cache too didn't need a bonnet today.

After our ftf down the road we started our search , doggies on the lead. We not into AFL or basketball but we do no what a bonnet is! But we decided it wouldn't be needed today. Found it and signed log in second place. Now for our picnic. Felicity joined us now happy to get out of the ute too. This is a great place for a picnic, it 12.30pm now but lunch for us will have to wait till we find the next town, after a few more caches of course.
Tftc cache maker we will be back with our kayaks soon for a paddle.

FTF @ 9.45am. Following 'the cache maker's' amendment to the hint I thought that this one deserved another visit. We brought along a substitute for a bonnet and the cache was readily located.
Non-AFL players or basketballers will need assistance.
TFTC the cache maker.

It was a pleasure to help the cache maker with the co-ordinates for this cache.
We had a lovely drive out here, and he placed the caches as we were looking around the area.
Seems to be a rather busy little place, considering it's out of the way location.

FTF (Failed to Find) I sincerely hope that is positioned in a place that is accessible to septuagenarian cachers, without them having to indulge in acrobatic feats.
