Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Since a lot of you haven't found the cache I will disable it until I get a chance to check up on the cache
Found non slip mat for "watch your step" but no cache. May have been tampered with. Looked for a long time.
Around to pick up the two local ones but could not locate this one. Located possible spot but nothing. CO check perhaps?
Thanks anyway.
Thanks anyway.
I don't enjoy this type of cache. The clue doesn't make sense and is of no help. There is heaps of rubbish and broken glass and old needles around. So my search was rather curtailed. I won't be back unless something changes dramatically.
3rd DNf today and our second visit searched for about 40 min as well as reading prior logs with no avail won't be returning thanks
For a place with good GPS reception this hide gets a "D" from me as well. With its razor grass, broken glass, spiders, and required damage to foliage in order to find the cache, ive walked away.

Well as the CO has made the effort to check that the cache is still there, we thought we had better have another try. This one is deserving of the "D" rating as it took way longer than we would have liked to locate. GZ was about 5m out for us in the end and the log was very damp requiring at least 5min in the sun until it could be signed.
Not sure if you should be thanked for this one or not but TFTC.

I checked if the cache was still in the correct position. It's still there
Sorry, but I detest looking for micros in grass trees. Just ask barrelledover, she'll tell you. I'm sorry to say I didn't even really try.
This is one of those micro hides you cringe at as not only are they a pain in the backside...but they inevitably end up causing damage to the environment trough people's act of searching. We simply walked away.
Happy Australia Day, kick out to geocaching day as great enjoyed some caches... Second visit searched a while finally got it as clever hide well..Thanks
Found this one after a bit of rummaging around. Not really the kind of cache of expected quality.
Perhaps I was deceived, and even the previous logs didn't help!
But am also a bit concerned that we cachers are not being kind to this little piece of urban parkland .. there's evidence of much tramping of bushes around here.

Today it was time to pick up a few more smileys from the western side of the lake.
This one had us stumped for a while. After checking all possibilities Mr C had another look at something he had spotted before and discounted. It was the cache. However it is in a glass container which is a no no. Great idea for a hide AB but you'll need to find a plastic one. Thanks for the cache Asthmatic Bogan.

This one took a while, having to look at every piece of rubbish. I can tell you the cache is not in the blue doggy bags, they are real! After checking all the cans, bits of shoes and bottles, I lifted something and it held the log. Thanks for the hide, I enjoyed the drive out here.
Joint *FTF* with GeoIan and Jonignite
We arrived at this one on our lonesome but this didn't last long we were soon joined by Jonignite and not long after by GeoIan, even with all of us looking still nothing was located for half an hour. We were starting to run out of enthusiasm and there was a little talk of giving up. It was then that a halfhearted final browse revealed the cache. Thanks for the hide Asthmatic Bogan,

Found with Team Unibolt & Jonignite. I got the publication at work on the coast, but it was so close to home. Maybe in with a chance here. Came down the street and there are two likely vehicles parked. DOH! Took some looking with 6 eyes searching for a good 1/2 hour or more.. TFTC, your first.
Joint * FTF * with team Unibolt and Geo Ian took some time to find what with not knowing the CO s stile or the accuracy of his hides but coordinates were close I was about to give up when on a possible last sweep the cache was found Thanks for the cache
