This area is being developed and the cache is no longer there.

Hi misssusan79,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

No legitimate finds for over two years. Can the CO please check on it

Was excavated

Dnf
But attacked by mozzies

Rhejrj

Is it around this tree?

Looked for about half an hour with no luck. Not sure if we were just overlooking it or if this one has been lost to nature. On the upside, we found a condom rapper, so at least someone had better luck than us.

Spent about 20 minutes looking and could not find it.

Looked for a while before checking old pictures.
I believe that this one is MIA

Easy

Bit of a bush bash to find. But easily located once at GZ. TFTC.

Found with tic toc. We zig-zagged our way around some of the paths then went bush for the last 50 m. Nice easy find thanks.

Oh dear now I gotta find my way outta here lol deep bushland...tyfc

What a wild find that was, me and my staffy enjoyed it although we did end up covered in spiderwebs

Tftf

Nice one. Unexpected as we were just ournriding and thought we would check near by

Good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It burns, they all burn down here

Found with the geohound this morning. All good with the cache.
TFTC

I love Really big container! TFTC

Nice sized cache

The husband and wife muggles riding on the quad bike must have wondered what we were doing. Willpunkey commented that the sign said no bikes which was fitting as the female rider stacked it and broke to top off the bike not to far from us. The container was easy to spot. made some swaps and we were on our way. TFTC

Tftc

Good adventure!

Got a few scratches.

We came in from Coominya today and did what was needed and then headed out to do a few caches. The listed TB is not in the cache. SL TFTC

This cache was alot harder than it should of been with my gps playing up. Took the trackable!

Nice little bush walk with Harrisfami1. TFTC!!

Yeah left some gifts for the next finders

A day out in the Collingwood Park area with Joojoo57, Patrol14, Sewrainbow, KerriMG & Nikid1.

First of a few missusan79 caches today. Nice stroll along the path then a short detour into the bush to locate the find. Define8ly fun!

Log signed by all & replaced again. Found at 11.20am on 14th July 2016. TFTC

A day out in the Collingwood Park area with RoddyC, Joojoo57, Patrol14, Sewrainbow & Nikid1.
A nice walk in through the bush to this one, I might actually manage to hit the 10 000 step mark today as we make our way along parts of this trail.
A relatively quick find, log signed & replaced as found.
TFTC misssusan79

This one was really hard bit found it in the end! There was no trackables in it so someone's forgot to log that they took it out.

found with geofamily

found with geofamily

WOW finding two at once - that is a first for me - the intruder needs to be rehidden elsewhere

Found with family and friends TFTC

Got 2 for 1 when we found this today

Nice find. Didnt need to log. Other cache in this one. Please review series as developers have moved it. Tftf with the tiger croc cache making hags.

TFTC!

Note: This was found by Neversaydi on the above date. NeverSayDi & E(: are combining accounts and are now TeamDIEL just consolidating. Thanks.

TFTC!

Good find, good walk

Nice one, TFTC

More fun.this one has a travel bug in it.no bj2nfd.anyone please tell us how to search the travell bug.

TFTC. #440. I had gone to find this one once before but came from the wrong direction to find that the map was wrong and the road did not keep going. So I left it for another day. As I drive in for it I got yo the same spot and realised I had done the same thing again. Rather than put it off yet again I decided to go around and come from the other side as I had more time today.
Took Geolog TB and left Landcruiser Adventure TB.

Swapped TBs. Picked upYV01EN

Another easy find thanks to spot-on coords.
Took TB. Left Red Beetle TB.

Cache is in excellent condition. Thanks.

The goal for today was Lisylou and Misssusan79's power trail through the Dr Harry Ratnam Reserve. We took the mountain bikes as it looked easy going. Seems there has been a lot of regrowth after a burn-off recently and the grass was pretty high in places. Combined with the creek crossings - a fun afternoon.

Nice easy find here. All ok. Dropped off a trackable while we were there.

TFTC.

TFTC.... TNLN quick find in the scrub where I walk the dog. Didn't realize that anyone had placed any Caches up the bush.

Nice cache. Left a token

First bush find yeah

TFTC..

I found it but something bit me

Found it with my first trackable! TFTC

A quick find! Thanks for the cache misssusan79!

YIPPEE, the sun is out.
After yesterdays rain the creeks were flowing and there was lots of mud about.
I made my way around this collection of caches in a couple of hours.
All were dry and in good condition.
I left a TB here.
Thanks for the cache.

Another easy find, just a pity to see all the household rubbish and items dumped throughout this area

TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache

Find number 8 for the day with trin_007, as we continued to follow the great trail set by misssusan79 and Lisylou. Made our way here from the nearby 'Teddy Bears Picnic', managed not to get tetanus from the giant nail sticking out of the makeshift wooden bridge over the stagnant water (hmm, painting a pretty picture here aren't I?). Appears there was another entry to this area as well. Very dry bushland at the moment. Pretty glad there are well defined tracks in here to follow. Kept following our noses (or the compass) to GZ, upon arriving at the area we had a guess at where the hiding hole was, and soon found the black and white. Looks like someone is a cat lover!

Out and about for a play day with kestal and bulldozer72 This group of caches have been on my radar for a while, so today was the day to take the big walk [^] Nice to see a larger container out here. TFTC, misssusan79.

Out caching with Remsjw. Bit of a walk and we crossed the creek over a board and eventually found this one. TFTC!

Define8ly there to log. Mnance101 right on to it.

Next one on the map in this fun little series. Good sized container was a nice quick find, log signed and onto another one. An enjoyable walk around the area. TFTC

Find number 8 this morning and another great find in this area. TFTC misssusan79

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

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

With a day off from work today, I decided to spend my time out here, grabbing this series of caches. This one was next up on the list today, and made my way from Up the Flue, heading pretty much just stright through bush to get to this one I soon arrived at GZ, and spotted the cache quickly With the logbook signed, and the cache returned, it was time to head off to the next one I thoroughly enjoyed this series, with a great variety of parkland, bush, tracks and crystal clear creek crossings

On an extremely pleasant Autumn afternoon with the ParFoxFamily, I went a-wandering around the back of RBP.

Clever hide, well described!

It was tricky but we found it.

I wasn't really dressed for creek crossings but I took it nice and steady and made the little leap with no drama. Soon I encountered muggles with three dogs. As usual, the dogs took an interest in me and had to be strongly restrained. I get that a lot!
After wandering on, I identified the GZ and made it work. Everything is in good nick so TFTC again and a nice walk in a new area.

New what I was looking for here easy find our biggest drama was crossing the creek with 2 yr old muggle who nearly fell in muggle friend took off her thongs and delicately crossed Creek we had a laugh and I reminded her of it being all part of our adventure

A nice quick find as I suddenly realised this was the penultimate cache for me in the area... Such a great morning to be out and about too...

I spotted the container on approach and quickly had business sorted. I checked the TB was safe and left it in place, I have enough to move on as it is without grabbing more...

All done, I took the direct route to the last cache and enjoyed a picnic with Yogi...

Cheers misssusan79.

TFTC. Great bush hide. Hopefully this area doesn't get developed too soon

So, after many moons of self-restraint and little caching, I treated myself to an outing today. This trail has been on my radar for a while. Probably should have left the white Nikes at home though and brought the boots

First cache of the day and an easy find here. Tried to stay out of sight of the dirtbike riders and 4WDs that probably shouldn't be desecrating the reserve. It sure could do with some TLC and a clean-up in here.

Dropped off a TB frog and retrieved a pair of thongs

Now which way should I go? Decisions. Decisions.

TFTC misssusan79!

Quick find. Dropped off a TB, signed log and off to the next in the area. TFTC.

Found while trying to avoid the motorbike riders. They where all over the place. A nice hide in the middle of nowhere. TFTC.

Continuing along the trail and I looked in some other places before adjusting the search and quickly found the cache. tftc

Found this one quickly. Sad to see how people dump their rubbish in bushland. TFTC

Not sure about the name on this one, but the description certainly had a tune rattling around my head for a while

Another one that had a vague track almost all the way to GZ, so I could stay on the bike

Another quick find too

A wander along from TBP and a short hop of a crossing to the area where GZ was. Kept the geo dog's feet dry too! Found the container in the first place I looked. TFTC

Whoosh.

Earlier this morning I didn’t even know that the Dr. Harry Ratnam Reserve existed. Now I’ve run up and down most of the length of it… and it started like this.

I was just looking at my emails this morning when a publish notification that came through. I thought, hmm probably a little far. Then another gazillion came through and I decided that immediate action was in order.

So I downloaded a bunch of caches to my phone, sweet talked my dearly beloved, grabbed some water and made tracks. A short time later, I got to the reserve, spotted a trail and started running.

Now this may not seem so strange unless you know me a little better. You will have worked out I am an FTF tragic. I usually however go for the late-at-night strategy when the competition is asleep. So chasing FTFs during the day is novel to start with.

Secondly running is not my thing. I like walking and am happy to walk all day, but I’m not really built for running. But the little experience I have with day time FTFs is that fast as possible is the way to go.
Thirdly I’ve lost a little bit of bulge over the last year and my pants are getting loose.

So there I was early morning running through the light scrub holding up my pants with one hand, phone in the other hand and sweating quite a bit. It was about then I found Define8.

Thanks for the cache Miss Susan!

STF at 10:30 AM. After the FTF on Up the Flue keepingupwith offered us a lift back to our car. An offer too good to pass up so we decided to grab this one on the way out. Mrs THR knew right where to look and came up with the goods. TFTC Misssusan79 and thanks for the lift Keepingupwith.

Time is getting short so I raced to here and soon spotted something black and white. Thanks misssusan79. Now to race back to find a lost kitty and back to collect the boys.

After finishing the Teddy Bears Picnic we wandered along the track and managed to keep our feet dry at the creek crossing and headed up the track to wards the cache .

We were walking 3 abreast on the track and I was looking at the GPS when a muffled yell and a scream from the others beside me brought my attention to a 2m red Belly Black which was sunning itself of the track no more than 1m from my foot. A quick raise in my adrenalin level and I stopped mid stride while the snake slithered off to the right and then came back across the path to disappear into the grass on the left of the path. It took a while for the heart to slow down again after that.

We continued on to have an easy find and then came back along the same path to head to Up the Flue with all eyes keeping watch for our lovely friend on the way past.
