Another DNF to add to the list, I think its definately missing

After 3 logs of needs maintenance and no reply from the CO, I think this one needs archiving to clear the area for another cacher to place a cache.

Still no action after so many months...

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Should have read the activity comments before coming. It's missing.

No-where

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Not here. All that remains is the lid (as per previous cacher's photo.) This one's definitely gone.

Possibly find lots of parts just a lid and bag rules. No travel bugs left behind boohooing

Could you come and have a look. Taken a photo of the lid not much left, Travel Bug taken. Could you have a look. If everything missing, could you please replace.

Someone has been less then gentle and the container is completely cracked

Found today! Super job!

Look downunder walk.

On our way out for the morning with the geomonsters, we stopped off to pick up this cache.

A nice quick find.

Thanks!!

Enjoyed the walk and to learn about the history of the fence line that was built so long ago in the 1800's. TFTC.

Tftc I never knew this path was here. Will definitely come back for a bike ride. Took a geocoin. The TB has moved on

Thank you we had fun finding.

Tyt

Nice place put some travel bug in how they keep going

Nearly went for a swim... task completed not too hard

1.30pm. Took some time. Coords were well out but persistence paid off.
Thank you. David and Geoff.

Looked all over. No luck.

Great hide. Gps out by about 50m

First find and first day geocaching, great first one to look for, thanks

TFTC

Great cache! Easy to spot once you look for geotracks. Not at exact location, but the name gives a great clue.

Very hard to find

Lots of grass and lots of cement, not really easy to find. Lots of cane, not a long walk. TFTC!

T found in this one. GPS isn't as accurate as could be, however keep persevering.

No luck for us here today

Violet and Lilly found it! We have taken two items and replaced with two items. Fun finding it!

Had to use some hints in the photos and I went down by myself and didn’t feel comfortable letting my 6yo niece there but she still handed me her trinket to swap!

Sorry cannot find. Coords are out if its meant to be in the rocks too.

Spending some time this morning with my daughter finding some caches in this area. She found this before I did. TFTC

Thanks for this one took awhile but once in the right area all is good. Container has a crack, a bit of water was drained out. All is good

Looked all round. Missed this one.

Got it. TFTC

Can’t find it I think missing. Owner can check if there please

Hats off to the well trained swarm of midges that tried to stop us. Happy to find with a great swap. Found a traveler!.

Bring aeroguard

Seeing the sights. Tftc

#4442. I flew over to Brisbane from New Zealand on Friday and spent two nights in Caloundra. Todays mission was to find a few caches in the Caloundra area before driving south to Brisbane. After lunch I decided to have a look for a few caches in the Redcliffs area. Parked nearby and went for a wander. Lots of interesting birdlife out in the wetland area. But first a look for this cache. Took a few minutes to find as I searched one wrong area before noticing there was something similar nearby. Pleased to find the cache hidden there. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache The Sumner Family.

Note Wellington NZ is hosting the "Wellington Geocaching Event 2018" on 21-22 October 2018. Hope to see some Australian cachers over there and give it a chance to become a Mega.

That was kinda scary...so many bugs and apparent snakes. Not fun and a little tricky.

Finally I made it back to this one after talking to a previous finder at length to find out where I was going wrong. Nice and quiet here today so with my different approach to last time I found my mistake from my previous attempts. TFTC

For reasons that we don't need to go into here, Mr Jaiger and I found ourselves out this way at 5am. Decided to fill in some time by finding a couple of caches.
We thought maybe this one wasn't here from the previous log, but all good here. Once we got to the correct area Mr J made a quick find. TFTC TSF

For reasons I wont go into here, nikid1 and I found ourselves here at Rothwell with time to spare at 5am this morning.

We had noticed the recent DNF on this one and wondered if we would find it.

After expanding our initial thoughts and changing angles we soon had this cache in hand. We signed it and replaced it as found.

Thanks for the hide Sumner Family - All is fine with this one.

I saw the shedded snake skin it didnt scare me off but made me cautious but is this really still there and it amazes me that most people say the coords are off and no has updated coords and the owner hasnt fixed them up either. I then returned a couple days later and still no find I paf'd and realised it is in behind some largely overgrown grass and im not going in there with the possibility of snakes around

You need to rummage to find this one. No snakes on our visit

Found sponges toads hiding, but no cache! Lots of muggles around which may have hindered the search.

Just a grass bank and a brown snake.

Got it fairly quickly

Awesome well hidden

Tftc

TFTC. Big family geocaching run next seem so taking the TB to another location

Could no find

Found the cache on the opposite side of the path according to the map. Can you pls double check the coordinates ?
Tftc

Found the cache on the other side of the path on the map. Left a TB there.
Tftc

Got this on the 3rd Sep just logging now.

We notice someone found this one yesterday , we could not, gps was jumping all over the place, we must be suffering with cache blindness today

This cache was close to our house and we have been saving it for a rainy day (i.e. too many drinks to drive). After a CITO event earlier in the day we were having some drinks with our geo-jedis 4ando and we agreed that an attack on this cache was needed.

We set off in good spirits and confidence was high. We talked about the merits of caching and smiles were brought to our faces. We were confident that if things turned pear shaped that we had the "weapon" with us. The weapon is our wife/mother and one of the most stubborn beeyarches on the planet. She won't leave a cache even if it isn't there.

Luckily enough we didn't need her tonight because Mr 4ando made the quick find. There were plenty of past logs about snakes but by then we had had enough drinks to gain more confidence then needed. No snakes today and as a former snake handler I would say don't be frightened by what you read.

As part of our phlogging routine (photo logging) we could not go past this slippery when wet sign. Apart from having Bon Jovi appear in the photo, second best was 4ando and woodyrothwell being nutbags. tftc

It's De ja vu, seems to be whenever we have a catch up at Woodyrothwell's its beer in hand (and apparently bacon) and off to find a secretly hidden cache. We made a deal years ago...months ago maybe...probably weeks ago...or is it days ago...or actually was it hours ago... that we visit a cache that is in walking distance so drink can be in hand. We have now reached the stage the geobag needs to be big enough to hold a roadie (or two:) Caches are getting further away...soon it will be a rolling cooler bag and an uber ride back to house, maybe an ambulance if we keep ignoring the warning signs!!!

Tricky to get too and large snake skin next to it doesn't help. Tftc

A nice spot I would never have come here, and I didn't know that the fence was so old. I never knew a fence could be so interesting. A good clue, it sent the geokid in a frenzy looking. TFTC

Little hard to find but had success

Found it

Well, this is the second time here with a different friend. My friend had look in one of the drain things and then we had moved away from it and looked sown where else. Some people walked past and had leaned over the rocks in that same drain, and said that there was a carpet snake near it before when they were walking, so we went back home. I don't think we will go back there

Some people walked past and had leaned over the rocks in that same drain, and said that there was a carpet snake near it before when they were walking, so we went back home. I don't think we will go back there, just because this is the 2nd/3rd snake sighting comment.

A friend and I were looking for this one for about 30 minutes or more. We were unable to find it. And the brown snake comment kept us careful but also a bit scared. We'll probably try again, but I think the cache coordinates were a bit off as well. Hopefully we'll have more luck next time. Thanks for hiding it

Found while on a Sunday afternoon bike ride.

Tftc found it:D

Log book seriously needs replacing aas it was in pieces. Sorry i didn't have 1 to put in

Mum

No luck with this one, but then again I was not sticking my hands in to any holes.

Went to find the cache and were warned by locals about a family of brown snakes very close to cache location.... Then we stumbled upon a brown snake ourselves and vacated. Be careful!!!!

Dnf - very hot day spent searching, maybe try again another time...

Looked in the wrong place for a while as coords are off by about 10-15m. Muggles around too so was tough, but eventually found it. Had to explain to some Muggles walking by what we were doing/looking for.

Niiiceee

Didn't get bitten by anything today.

Takes a bit of looking but found it.

Good one

Amazing

TFTC.
GPS coordinates of the target 15 meters off.
Greetings from Czech Republic,

Lovely spot.... cache cords werE a bit off, but clue was helpful. Container has seen better days but log was dry. TFTC!!

I was making my annual pilgrimage to the Ignite conference at Mueller College nearby but had very little time to spare. Still, I thought I'd pull in and see what I could do.
I started, like others, in the completely wrong spot on the fenceline, chipping away before deciding it must be wrong. I then went to the right level but couldn't see how to get my hand into what seemed a risky spot. I was then going to leave but thought I'd give a similar spot one last go.
It was a pleasant surprise to spot the cache waiting for me, and I reached it with some acrobatics a little above T1.5, I'd say. I signed up and replaced as found.
I attach some coordinates that were close for me today: it is funny how many people seem to have complained about them without suggesting anything better... TFTC which is still OK for the time being.

It's still there, but logbook needs maintenance. We signed and returned to its hidden spot. Tftcfff

I had a quick look for this one in the logical place using the hint, and not following the coordinates as they are clearly wrong as has been confirmed in previous logs. I couldn't find it after a brief search and as the last visitor reported sighting a snake nearby, I wasn't prepared to put my hand anywhere where I couldn't see where it was going. Thanks anyway The Sumner Family.

Nope couldn't find it. looked for about 20mins : /

Couldn't find it but it was getting dark, and the miggies were everywhere. While looking a came across a snake which completely freaked me out

Consent find it :/

Yay ☺

Took a while but we found it tctc

Almost gave up.. Thanks is really nice view!

Found it.
Need maitance. Very wet.

A sad cache that needs attention. The lid has a split. Water has been getting inside. The contents are manky. And it isn't even located at GZ.

Found it! Thanks to the creator. Somehow there is water in te Geocache.
