Had a good look even though we read others couldn't find this. We had no luck either
Did not find this time around. There was quite a bit of water around - not sure if this conceals hiding spot??
Couldn't find it Its gone AWOL I think. Spent about 20 minutes looking at most spots.
Its gone AWOL I think. Spent about 20 minutes looking at most spots.Gotcha....wasn't going to give up on this one! All in tact...log has swelled due to being wet and now dried...unable to sign without damaging the log..maintenance required. TFTC
Found this cache at 11.30am while heading home to the Southern Highlands after being away for 3 weeks to Birdsville, The Simpson Desert and outback Qld.
Love this little wooden truck.
THE LOG IS VERY WET AND NEEDS MAINTENANCE

Foubd it! Great hide but the log is soaked. It looks like it will need to be replaced as looks beyond repair. We loved the truck too 
TFTC Well with a name like that had to see this one, a great truck and a quick find, didn't log as it was extremely wet and would have destroyed it to remove it from the cache, sneaky little hide. 
Found it Sneaky nice but the log is very wet and falling apart can't write on it
Went round and round before it was spotted. Log very wet and full. Thanks beautifulsharks
Found early morning on the way to work at Boggabri. I don't know how many times Ive been past here over the years but I had never noticed this Muswellbrook landmark before! Many thanks beautifulsharks

After a run of DNFs on the Rock series, our hopes were low but Mr Winglen found this fairly quickly! I'm not sure why the log suggesting it needs urgent maintenance - the log is filling up a bit but there is still space. Thanks beautifulsharks.
The Booo's are on day one of the road trip to Oz Mega made a fairly quick find here thanks
The Booo's are heading to Oz Mega and passed through to collect this cache. This had us searching for a while before I spotted a small tell and retrieved the cache.
Great spot!!
Needs a new log, full.
Also the cache was quite deep and had to be dug out.

Dude where's the cache...if it's there I'm def coming back, cause it was a head scratcher.
Well this one was a hard one. This was my second search for the cache in 2 days after searching yesterday with another geocacher who I met while searching with no luck. Took my family today who were up for a early Christmas. Bingo today was the day we found this tricky cache. Thanks for the challenge.
Well, I finally found this one, third time lucky, but it took an EAF to get this one in the bag. This has now become a favorite as it is a great hide. TFTC
TFTC, this is my 100th logged find - cool. I found this one on my second attempt, it really got me thinking. Nice one.

We spent this lovely Spring friday on a caching trip out to Burning Mountain and back to home. We found 12 caches for the day.
We have always said that this needed a cache! We parked nearby and started the search. We had to resort to reading past logs before Mrs C spotted something and sure enough it was the cache!

Attended a wedding @ golf club & stayed at motel across the road so decided to introduce my muggle friend to a taste of caching. We searched for at least 30 minutes trying not to look too suspicious. Had a read of one particular log & found it! The cache was a great intro to caching for my friend. SL TFTC
Found with weans theirs after PAF when Co turned up. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad carer Lis Brown on a journey from Shepparton Vic to Geelong Vic then Coolah and Port Stephens in NSW and back to Shepparton before going to Tasmania.
Found with Angus88, Coco and human carers with a bit of help from CO who happened to be passing by!

Second go at it. But got there. Gps was not a great help with this. Trust your thoughts.
That was the hardest cache I have searched for to date. And the longest I've had to search.
Just keep searching, heads up, and most of all "keep smiling" -Thomas!!!

GPS put me 7m away on the grass. Looked at bridge, tree, but too short for truck without a geopartner today 
TFTC was very difficult but with persistence it paid off. Our recent recruits Bazinga5 came up with the goods.
We need a bit more info.... Gps is putting us in the middle of the footpath.
Darn. I was 230 km west of home (Taree) on the weekend, but this is not in my area of checking, and I would have come right past it
