Place where cache was hidden has been modified by local council and cache has been removed.
Visiting the Isa from Ferny Creek in the Dandenongs, Victoria. This is our second DNF in the CBD a little disappointed with cache maintenance, either maintain them or archive them so visitors do not waste time trying to find them.
Last unfound active cache in the Isa for me, have kept this one for months but this morning I could not resist logging it any more.
Good little hide that had me looking for a while.
From now I will be looking at the archived caches in Mount Isa unless something new happens
Thank you cruzeycoop for this one

The big move from Townsville to Mandurah WA. 5000km and lots of caches!:) Passing through The Isa and spending half a day here for some much needed stretching of legs and caching of course. had us looking for some time but as per previous logs, need to widen the search area.

Took a while!!!! Just a lucky spot in the end. Funny how you overcomplicate the simple ones.
Thanks.
Thanks.

We had a short day today, just picking up a few nearby caches and exploring the lesser travelled parts of the local area.
Yaaay!!! We found it once we stopped looking with pre-conceived ideas (and with a nudge from the owner)
.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

[red]We spent quite some time here at around 11:37:00 AM, but we couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it.

Went for a walk on my day off, and after a good search, I was ready to give up for a few days anyway, then I spotted the cache. Great hiding spot, TFTC.
Today we explored Mount Isa and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Easy find, in hidey hole.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Another one that made us think. Found with the Reluctant Companion on our trip to Wodonga Vic. for the Ulysses AGM. TNLN TFTC
Cache is still in original location, you may need to broaden your search area to find this cache, The cache is located on the car park side of the armco barrier. Do not go over the barrier to search
Two days/nights of hunting and no such luck. I'd be willing to call it and say it's not here. Please check and advise. Cheers
Searched 2x morning, 2x night, still no cache. Thinking it's gone. Please advise otherwise as I frequent the area.
Was in Mount Isa for work and still being on NSW time I embarked on an early morning caching experience. this was second on the list and the crazy Streetsweeper was still going round and past GZ. Decided to wait him out and after his 3rd pass he was gone. Looked everywhere that was obvious but without success. Saw that a log said it was within 2m of cords so worked with that info and after adopting a different perspective I spied the cache. Very nice. Thanks Cruzycoop, loved the hide.
Had a look to see if the cache was still in the same place as it had had 3 did not finds in a row....Still in same place and coordinates are still OK (within 2m)
1 extra clue.....the cache is not on the ground

Had a 4yo in tow, which made intense searching awkward. Interesting hide in the middle of town.
couldn't findNot often I get to opportunity to have another go at a cache, but 2sd time lucky.
thanks cruseycoop - took the little doll, left a slinky
Wombat the Anthus laptop Geocoin visited, as did Runciple's Grasshopper, doc marten, a mammoth who wants to see sheep, a slovak geocoin and SHREK

Searched for this, knew it should have been a FTF, but could not locate it. There was a car parked right beside GZ, and we were getting funny looks from other Hardly Normal patrons. Congrats Keden1 
We will go back again another time, before we leave town.
