This is about the 3rd time this site has been Muggled. I feel it is too exposed to nosy neighbours.
I was advised that the pencil was missing so I went to replace the pencil but could not find the cache. I wrote to the last finder to ascertain if the cache had been moved or weather it has been muggled.

On our way home to Belmont from Coonabarrabran via Tamworth.
Our GPSs were indicating a nearby tree but being magnetic it wasn't going to be there.
Took a few minutes to finally lay a hand on it in a spot we looked at a couple of times. Thanks Whitey Wiskas

Spent 2 nights in Tamworth, and geo-hubby went out to find some local caches.
Cache found after a short search, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Whitey Wiskas, for us and others to find.

TFTCWe held an auction on the historic platform, but the cache did not make the reserve, so we replaced it as found; SL, TFTC

Arrived at GZ and soon guessed the general location of the cache. Mr TiedyeSmileys knew exactly where the cache would be hidden and was waiting for a break in the traffic (that never came) to ascend to look.
Mrs TiedyeSmileys said it wouldn't be there but Mr TiedyeSmileys scoffed at her lack of faith in his cache spotting skills. A break in the traffic was finally approaching and Mr TiedyeSmileys was getting ready to leap up when Mrs TiedyeSmileys whipped out the cache and asked if this was what he was looking for.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.
Day three was spent caching around Tamworth and then watching the cricket world cup at the amazing camp ground kitchen. Thanks.

Found with Albida33 on the way to the Stanthorpe Mega......so please excuse the generic log.
The cache was found without any issues and the log was soon signed....then back in the car and off to continue our travels.
Thanks for the cache and adding to the fun of our Mega trip.....

Election Day for NSW. Rather than being inside putting numbers in little boxes, we were out and about this afternoon with fellow Victorians Ian & Penny, opening the little green boxes on our map of Tamworth. Woo Hoo two caches here DO we get two smilies?
Neither of these caches matched the description or size mentioned on the cache page.
Our thanks to Whitey Wiskas for bringing us here.

This cache appears to be in need of owner attention.
Two caches in the one location and neither the size indicated in the cache notes - is there a third placement?

This was our 5th in the company of phetlern, who we met up with in the caravan park after our long and arduous trip from Newcastle this morning.
There are two containers here, so we signed the log in each one.
(This is the log for the large magnetic container furthest from the road.)
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

auctioneers did make things last for awhile back a few years ago. thanks Whitey Wiskas.....Stopped at the shops for a pit stop. Cup cake for the niece and rockmelon for me, water all round and off to GZ. Arrived at GZ and niece finds money sitting on the table and got all excited and asked if she could keep it. Of course you can you found it. I don't think anyone is going to miss 5c but it made her day. To top it off she found the cache.
TFTC and the pit stop.

First cache. WaggaBob showed me how to look and watch out for muggles doing the garden
Found at 12:48 PM GAFF3. With muggles about I thought that I had better make a quick find before they got onto me. They took no notice whatsoever!
I think I saw a structure that looked odd - so that was the stand was it?
Thanks Whitey Wiskas.

Thanks Whitey Wiskas.
I have replaced the magnet with a container. Let's see if the muggles can find this one.
Today we did a tour around Tamworth, we visited many parks, lookouts & the wonderful tributes to Country Music of which this town is so famous.
The caches we found were interesting & varied. The cachers of Tamworth should all be proud of their well maintained caches.
Thanks for placing this cache Whitey Wiskas

Getting to the pointy end of the long drive from Murray Bridge to Brisbane. Haven't driven this way for a while so it is great to see so many new caches! Only had an hour to spare in Tamworth so I tried to make the most of it. Thank you for placing this cache.
Reperio at 0950.
After an enjoyable days caching around Tamworth yesterday, I got up this morning to tackle a few more before heading home to Newcastle. Took a little detour out of town to stop by this one, and it didn't take long before the cache was in hand.
Gratias Whitey Wiskas.

We found a good park in the bus stop for the trike, being Sunday the sign said we could. We had a look around and then a sit down to think and decided we knew where to look. SL TFTC
