Logs
Despite replacing the damaged cache in March, physically checking it again in June after a couple of newby dnfs, disabling it in October to give me time to rebuild and post a replacement from Melbourne, Reviewers have deemed that I am not maintaining this cache. It has been in place the whole time, has a brand new log since February, is currently still in place right now but will be retrieved in the next day or 2. The rebuilt cache was not needed at all. Sadly, older caches that are actually maintained have money spent on them and have no needs maintenance logs, are targeted by reviewers while we are out finding soggy broken containers with years of no maintenance. Geocaching used to be fun but who'd be a cache owner when you're expected to revisit a cache the moment someone can't find it
This area is still fenced off and will be rechecked regularly and replaced as soon as the area is open again. The local council has been using this park as a base for extensive works nearby. The replacement has been sent up to Queensland and will be installed ASAP
Area is current having some work done, despite many dnfs, cache was retrieved after access granted by workmen. Will keep this cache disabled until works are complete and it can be replaced
Had a good look around and couldnt find, maybe needs to checked by the owner.

Wagging work wet Wednesday was upon us, and SaintsMadHouse and I had some serious goals to kick today… once I had finished at acupuncture that is.
The plan had been meticulously laid out by SaintsMadHouse for a productive and successful outing.
SaintsMadHouse parked the car and I dashed over for a quick grab in the dark, glad it was on this item and not the nearby tree as I’m sure I’d have been there for quite a while otherwise.
Thanks for the cache Tenkae.

Out caching with CaptainVimes. A guy was using a metal detector in the playground so we had to be stealthy. Thanks for the fun Tenkae
A quiet, shady park on a weekday morning with nobody in sight to make the search harder.
Searched the wrong landmark first before moving on to a similar feature, where the cache was spotted.
TFTC!

Dropped by the check on this and cache had been dislodged and fallen into a difficult spot. Super long tweezers managed to retrieve it. Log was almost full so replaced with a new sheet
May be time to check on it, checked myself and couldn’t find the nano anywhere near said hint
Sad spent 20 mins looking can't find it please give me a hint it's my first time
I looked for it for about half an hour and couldn’t find it. If you have any tips please message me as I am new in geocaching.
After a DNF at #3 and not even attempting #5 I didn’t approach this cache with much confidence… however thanks to the hint I managed to spot the cache really quickly… and then used my pen to retrieve it…
The log is full though… I squeezed my mark above GUR’s….
Once again, I’m hesitant to log a NM… but it’s kind of necessary…

A second find for the morning.
Knowing the previous finder I went feeling around in the wrong spots.
Came back to the logical place in the end.
Thank you for hiding this geocache

Found it. Came here because my friend who is new to geocaching was worried about the possibility of electrification. But it’s all good. Nice conceal. Just don’t forget your tweezers.

Found! Struggled to get the log out so picture for evidence. Thanks for making me think and work for this one!
I did not find the cache I was near the big tree and looked in the roots but didn't find anything... It said I was 1 meter away but I still didn't find it...
Not my favourite kind of hide for a bunch of reasons including size. But one more smiley getting closer to getting my final souvenir for the museum challenge. Tftc
Out and about this afternoon getting back into caching. Really enjoyed this one TFTC
We are no longer caching so we need to archive our caches. Thanks for the fun we had!
Another Park & Play done! After checking out the hint and having a bit of a think I found it easily enough, then took it back to my car to sign in peace - Lucky I put it back when I did though, because just as I put it back a family came round the corner to play on the playground!

Took me way longer to find this then it should of.. but wasn’t hard to retrieve? Maybe it’s been placed in a more accessible spot? Good fun though
Luckily it was a relatively quick find here because the smells from the bin were not great for a Sunday morning with krcamber
Headed over to GZ with reezielou and the smells from the bin were super rank this morning. Luckily it was a quick find! TFTC
