I forgot to log this one some time ago,,, its such a shame its been muggled it was an absolute beauty. Great concept and great construction. Why are people muggling something that brings others so much job. its not doing any harm!. buggers.

Muggled

What a pity. It has been stolen. I may make another one !
 
09-Oct-14
So that was probably the reason I couldn't find it! I thought it was odd I couldn't find it.

By the way, I forgot to include this in my log... When the owners came to have a look out the window, I pretended I was taking pictures of the blood red moon with my camera. Once they saw that they left! haha Razz
 
08-Oct-14
Tried to have a search but the locals across the road came to have a peek out their windows, so I left. I haven't found a cache in ages.... Was hoping to get this one. But obviously not so!

Not quite so quick find in the wet as we both missed it the first time at GZ.

Thanks duck 43 for the cache.

I was out with the geohubby today on a duck run. I had 5 duck 43 caches to find and im happy to say they were all found but not without a bit of searching. We spotted this one quite quickly and we are wondering if its in the correct place as it was very obvious where it was. Still a fav point from me TFTC duck 43
 
31-Aug-14
Replaced stoppers. Please ensure they are tight!
 
30-Aug-14
The cache needed some running repairs.
One end was not closed off and the log soaking wet. We have fixed it up as best we can but it urgently needs some TLC from the CO.
 
30-Aug-14
Please refer to our found log.
 
26-Aug-14
Yay, we found it, very cool!!!!
 
25-Aug-14
Amazing..........................that's all I can say about it!! On a Duck run around the Canning River by bike on a beautiful sunny Monday afternoon trying to clean up some of our missing Duck caches. This find made it 2 out of 2 so far! T4TC Duck

I was still getting out of the car when the geo-wife called - 'check this out, it surely is!' Not saying anymore - find out for yourself!! Loved it duck 43
 
24-Aug-14
Nice place to do and like it
 
17-Aug-14
Surely not!! Found it with franz. Kudos for the effort!!
 
17-Aug-14
Like others spotted it and thought surely not. Until it started to look a bit suspicious and decided to investigate further and was surely rewarded. Perfect way to end an inspiring caching day. Thanks once again duck43. Look forward to finding more of your caches.
 
16-Aug-14
Repaired and back in place.
 
14-Aug-14
Taken away for repairs.

Nice hide.....it took a few minutes before I noticed something out of place....Fav for me TFTC

I was looking here, wading in the water and thinking hard when I met an elderly couple. I said good morning to them and they replied " Are you caching"? I gave in and had a little chat. It turned out to be jacaro44, a nice duo. Then we searched for the cache. Took us a few minutes, but I noticed something not quite right. As I examined closer, I could see it was the cache! A great concept for a cache and it was lovely to meet up with some cachers again. Thanks, Duck 43!
 
09-Aug-14
Wow! That is cool. The cache itself had separated from its container but contents were dry. The screw mech seemed too tight to turn by hand so after jamming cache back into container couldn't lock so not sure if will stay in or not. Great effort though. TFTC
 
09-Aug-14
WE arrived near GZ to see a youth moving around in a most suspicious manner. Kerpin it was and what a pleasure it was to meet with such a well mannered young man. Together we searched for a while. We, searching on the high road and Kerpin on the low road. Kerpin made the find of the more creative caches so far set by Mr Duck. Cache and container still in good condition and log quite dry. This is of course another fav from us. Good job!
Thanks for the hide Duck 43
 
06-Aug-14
Searched for this one to make my 1000th find.

Thought surely not, but yes it was !! So clever. Another favourite...thanks duck 43
 
05-Aug-14
We came here after finding the almost extinct dinosaur. We found this one but sadly it needed TLC. Its parts had come apart and there was no log inside. We put it together and placed a sheet of paper inside for a log. Hope its OK. TFTC Another good one.
 
03-Aug-14
A quick run down south so we detoured via here for a quickish find. Not your usual hide but a nice find non the less.

Thanks duck 43 Smile
 
03-Aug-14
A quick detour off the Freeway on the way home. The hardest task here was keeping the shoes dry everytime a mugglespeedboad threw waves at GZ. TFTC duck43, and a fave from me too for your great imagination and workmanship!
 
02-Aug-14
Awesome. What a great hide, had us tricked for a while but then the inquisitiveness of the kids found it!
 
02-Aug-14
Had a lovely day out today visiting my M-I-L for lunch today. Mr Luna Maya was given the word that we were NOT to go home until we had found this cache Razz So after taking a wrong turn I think that he thought about just getting onto the freeway & heading back to Secret Harbour Surprised Wrong !!!!! So at GZ I was so happy that my 22 year old muggle son found the cache & immediately dismissed it ! No, I said - have another look - Cool Mr Luna Maya inspected the workmanship, we SL. TFTC duck43 and adding to our favourites - more please Big Grin
We earned our Explorer Souvenir for this cache Smile
 
01-Aug-14
As the description states this one is very unusual and yes, on first look, you scratch your head and say, "Surely not!" Walked away chuckling.
 
31-Jul-14
Brilliant. Really really like it. Log is wet. Have made sure I pressed lid on hard. Tftc

With the boys in the north hiding caches up trees, the caches in the south are even more appealing. I rode past GZ on Saturday at noon during torrential rain. Much more pleasant conditions today mid morning. This was an instant find and a favourite for the expense and time taken to construct it as well as the laugh it caused when I spotted it while finding somewhere to park my bike. This is one of those caches that your mind knows is ok to log but another part of your brain still says, "Don't do it!!!". Thanks for the cache duck 43; I hope it lasts long enough for plenty of others to experience.

TFTC! Found on a caching trip whilst in Perth for the weekend. Again something different from the duck factory. Great to see more hides from you mr duck. Nearly dismissed this instantly, but went in for a closer look and spotted the hide. Thanks
 
27-Jul-14
I looked at this for a while before concluding it Surely Was the cache. Thank you Duck43 for a clever different amusing cache.

*FTF* Found at 6:55pm.Fantastic hide. Arrived there to find a couple of options on arrival. I prodded and poked a few areas and then explored further.Eventually I was rewarded with the find. I have to say its a cheeky hide and one that brought a smile to my face. I'll give a fave for your experiment. TFTC

Arrived at GZ and spotted the cache immediately, but dismissed it almost as quickly [:o)]. After looking around a bit further afield, I went back to the thing I had noticed ... this can't be the cache ... Surely Not! I prodded it a bit, then retrieved it for a closer look. Is this the cache? It Surely Is! And the awesome camo made me chuckle [^].

Like Team Ausdan, I am forwarding a photo as there is no log sheet ... sorry I didn't have one to leave behind.

Thanks for the cache duck 43. I'll pop by and sign the log sometime soon. Excellent work and definitely a bit of fun Big Grin. Fav of course.
 
26-Jul-14
A check of the hide has revealed the log is "surely there "but was very difficult to extract. Therefore I have attached a piece of wire to assist removal and written AusDan and firnsy on the log. Well done guys.
