There's hasn't been a find here since 2015 I think CO should check cache or archive it so somebody else can use the location

Out with Swimmagurl and Geo-Mum. We decided on the ‘Harry Potter Power Trail’ and a few extra ones along the way! 
It was a really nice day for a drive across the country side because the sky was blue, the birds were singing and the ground was green and dry so there wasn’t any mud! Thank you to all the Cache owners for placing all the caches we found!
We looked and looked but couldn't find it can CO check if it is still there. If it is can you please increase the difficulty rating.

I like it Another one of the list TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Mufftop101 [^]Stopped to look at the pot and also had a quick look around for the cache despite the previous DNFs. No joy for me either I'm afraid to say.
Well - it is actually an aluminum pot - but let's not quibble about it.
Nothing to be found as per the past 12 months! You would think that the CO could check this out by now?

Today we did the trip from Dubbo to Parkes to Forbes to Greenthorpe to do the Harry Potter mini-trail and the back to Forbes. No idea how many kilometres were done, but we all survived.
Had not much luck on this one, besides banging my head against the aluminium (I mean iron) pot.

Anther DNF at IronPot Creek. This is the 3rd and last time for us, we will now remove the information from our files. Even after phoning one of the recent finders it still alluded us.
Finding Iron Pot creek was easy
Thanks to the Aluminum Pot [:o)]
Nice try people !!
The cache was a different matter though !!
I could not find the damn thing
Oh well, one for next time I pass by this way

Our only free day for quite some time so we decided to head out on a geomission around the area. We have had a couple of mini tours lately, but today we went all out to Cowra and Grenfell to see how many we could find. Rapidlywild came along for the drive to fill her gaps where she has previously posted DNF's. The weather was lovely and the drive was picturesque, thank you to all the cache owners for bringing us to this lovely part of Australia.
So cool....love the pot. Cruel cache....glad we were looking in the daylight.

Plans were made with Tanso for a day trip round Cowra and Grenfell. We started the day off with the WWFM event and then it was on the road for us
Very enjoyable day out in the smaller towns. Undortunately we did have a number of DNF's however these things happen and it just gives us more reasons to return We arrived in Cowra about 2pm and I got back to Canberra just on 2am. Was a range of finds and some very good ones too ! We finished the trip driving through Young when we spotted a "bomfire" which turned out to be a vehicle on fire. We pulled up and called 000 immediately to get the firies out. Always fun and games on road trips [:p]
Had to engage nighttime roadside stealth mode here. Many cars coming past, so we used the guard as a shield and dropped to our knees whenever one passed. Tanso located the cheeky cache and we soon signed and moved along.
Thanks mufftop101 for placing these caches, lovely area especially on a day like today.

No problems finding this one and loved the hanging decoration. Found while travelling west on the Mid Western Highway at the start of a long trip. TFTC.
Beaut spot for a cache hide and got a great pic with the cache owners who lobbed onsite at GZ.
Another well hidden cache and a favourite tick from us well for the location .
Many thanks for the cache challenge .

On our way back to Tasmania after attending the Queensland Mega. After speaking to the CO on our way up to Queensland we attempted his cache again as had logged it as a previous DNF and can confirm it is not there so we replaced the cache. TFTC
Pulled up and spotted all the DNF logs before the hunt. I only poked around for 1-2 minutes, but didn't see anything like what would be expected for the area.
No luck today, after meeting the CO in town was going to check again on the way back, but instead we went the other way to the Castle.
Had a good search for quite a while, not found at gz. Have to give up as we have to head north again tomorrow and still a few to do here first
A DNF for baby&Mrs gopher today. Even got the magnet out and went down to the Box-thorn bush, but no success.
Found the humour but not the Cache 
The 2 of us searched for about 10 minutes to no avail.

A very imaginative cache, we really enjoyed this one.
Many thanks for placing this cache, mufftop101, for us and others to find.

# 11215 Found on another long day trip north with The Drovers.
We had good weather for most of the day, but struck the hail storm on the way back.
Very good hide, but luckily we were right onto it in a few seconds. Good coords too.
Thanks for the cache mufftop101,

Thanks again mufftop101 !!

So, were you responsible for the item at GZ....Very cool considering the name. Didn't take too long and the neat hide was exposed. Had a little chuckle at the whole thing......
Thanks again mufftop....fav point for the fun....

My 4th find of the afternoon.
Ha ha! I found this one quite entertaining, although not so hard as I thought it might be though. I can certainly see why you felt the need to put a cache here.
SL, then turnaround and headed back to Grenfell.
TFTC mufftop101 and for giving me a chuckle.

Found it! That was tricky. Went back 3 times, busted out the gloves and the telescopic mirror. No joy. Don't know why I rechecked that spot but I did and there it was. SL TFTC

Two day trip to Grenfell June 2014. Very funny. The object provides a great spot to disguise the cache. Thanks.

This one took me much longer than it should have, for such a hidden in plain sight cache. Eventually I spotted the obvious, after I’d looked in every other spot I could think of. Thanks.

Went to put my fingers to retrieve the cache but the long banded legs protruding deterred me - we must return
Very sneaky and clever! Second attempt (DNF the first time ages ago, forgot to log) after searching for about 20 mins!
Thanks muffo that makes ninety nine,this cache was nearly as beautiful as you are
