Will be getting to this one soon.

Have been informed it has been taken.
Will have to make a new one.

Found tyftc

Enjoyed a couple of days away with my wife. (It was really an excuse to do a bit of Geocaching).
The little lady is getting quite good at spotting the ones I miss. There were workmen close bye. I just hope we were surrupticious enough that they were not aware what we were up to. TFTC

It was a real sneaky spot had to think hard

Had to get my partner to help lol couldn't find it for the life of me.

#566 - Awesome container... Tftc

Wow! Cool hiding spot

Found - very cool hide! Our 8th find today in a nice quiet spot. TFTC

Arrived at the right time as the last of the muggles were leaving. Spotted something which led to the cache. TFTC

Thanks for the catch
Taken shopkin replaced with rubber cow

FOUND

An inventive cache container was found after the area was clear of muggles SL, TFTC

Good find!

Good spot

This is hidden very well. Gotta think about the clue to find it. My kids n i enjoyed finding it thanks heaps!

Another great find. TFTC.

Travelling from Morisset to Tamworth as we slowly make our way back the Gold Coast and Brisbane. This was the first of quite a few very creative and imaginative caches we visited today. Each was worthy of a FP. Once at GZ all were easy to spot. Thanks so much Rock_Dok for the time and effort you put into these creations for the enjoyment of others to find and experience.

Well constructed hide. tftc.

Nice one!!

Up early to get a few more of the great caches here before having to leave town. This was one we targetted and found. Fav point alloc. Thank Rock_Dok for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Very clever and creative spot to put it had to look twice before we found it !

Nice one!

Quick find this morning just before the nearby venue started to get popular. Nice hide!

TFTC

Hahhaha

Clever hide. Thanks Rock_Dok.

Good spot

Awesome find! TFTC!

It was my son's and mine's very first geocache and we were very excited!

I probably would have searched for this one for ages but MeAndMyMinions256 who was with me spotted straight away. Nice hide.

Another super good hide although we found it very quickly. Mr 5 was very impressed. there is room for some very small trades so we scratched in our stash for some small ones to place in there for any future finders. On opening the cache the log was poked all the way in and our tweezers were not long enough to reach it but we found a nearby stick and managed to drag it out. we tried to keep the log as close to the opening as possible when we put it back in.

Cool hide!! Kids very impressed!

Dropped into this one as it was way too busy when we passed through last month. Maybe I shouldn't have read the hint before I looked, as I walked straight up and pulled it out. T4TC Rock_Dok - your's are always great!

The clue for this one gave us a great head start and on approaching GZ we spotted a tell tale sign straight away. We did take a long time here though as some muggles were unloading supplies in to the nearby clubrooms.
Loved the old gates and loved the solid container used here.
Thanks, and a favourite point from us.

Not a chance today. Home game for Muswellbrook Rams. Muggles, muggles everywhere.

Nice one bro : )

A amazing cache god find with da boiis

A nice easy find, the hint didnt really make sense to me but i spotted something and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here. A favorite point from me.

Found it on our Scone, Barrington Tops and Gloucester caching weekend....TFTC

Find #947
Day one of our boys geocaching and camping weekend today, we drove out to Scone finding 21 caches and two DNFs. The heat (and the flies) got to the kids after a while, and we called stumps for the day. Tomorrow we drive up into the mountains!
Good hide. I couldn't see any yellow brick roads around here, but we chose something similar and Samuel spotted the cache. Thanks Rock_Dok

Finally got the hint

After spending several months house sitting around the Central Coast, Sydney and Bateman's Bay it is time to head back to Queensland.
But I have time to spend an hour caching around Muswellbrook.
A nice walk from where I parked the car. [^]
This took some searching as I mis-interpreted the hint.
Eventually I changed my thinking and found the cache.
A fav pt for the frustration. and clever cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Geez, what an eventful end for Ron King....that's going out on a high. And an awesomely cheeky hide for a cache. Even with a few people coming and going it was easy to hide retrieving it. Loved this cache, thanks Rock Dok - fav point from us.

This is our final day of cacheing for this visit to the Muswellbrook area. At least the sun was obliging for a change. This was one of 13 caches we did today. The quality of most of the caches we have found has delighted us. Plenty of work with footy finals preparations, but no-one was interested in us
Thanks Rock Dok for your efforts

Awesome cache and very clever hide. Loved it! Found with SammyJ94

Found with Tattz23

Genius hide. Excellent way to finish a busy day of caching.

I came up with BillHill531 to find a bunch of geocaches on my short list. These were a mix of Cache of the year nominations, a unique reviewer and a few placed dates. We had a really good run, so got a bunch of others as well, bringing my total up to twenty finds for the day, with no Did Not Finds.
Number sixteen for the day. This was on my short list for having a new unique date placed. I am glad it was as it was a nicely constructed cache.
Thanks for the new date placed and the fun cache!

Found with TOMBI! on the way up to Burning Mountain, stopping at Muswellbrook and Aberdeen, doing some HAVOC nominations and some other select ones. Tricky find, nice container. TFTC

First ever find since starting the game very excited the clue was a big help!!!

I search yesterday - but muggles around - thought long and hard over night - and I'm pleased to say I found it today.
You have got me walking and I am teaching others to geocache.
Thanks Rock_Dok for my fun visit to town - this one was so good!!!!

Found with help from the clue. TFTC.

**# 13973** Found on our 2016 winter escape trek.
Another perfect sunny day for a drive around Muswellbrook.
Another not so quick find here and not one muggle around.
Thanks for the cache Rock_Dok,

Nice Gates! And what a story behind them.
Thanks for the cache working in the brook for a week, and discovering some caches:) a nice way to spend the afternoons in perfect weather

Found with the Geo helpers and great fans of The Wizard Oz which was a great help

Tftc beautiful old gates

Nice hide. Cache in great condition. Found with flicklick on our geocaching weekend!! Thanks for the cache.

TFTC

A few more caching on our list before we head home to Port Macquarie'
After a quick search, we read the hint, we had looked in that spot so a closer inspection was needed.
Something way back took our attention & with a pull we found it covered in spider web.
Certainly worth a favourite point.
Thanks Roc_Dok

A clever hide and a clever container. A quick find. TNLN TFTC found it hard to extract but got there in the end!

Thanks for the cache. Found in great condition while on our way north along the new England.

Thanks for the local history.....I appreciate fellow geocachers sharing their home town..great cache...easy find.TFTF

We'd entered slightly wrong coords for this, so ended up with a close look at the velodrome - but no cache. On correcting the coords, we found GZ and were surprised at the cleverness of the hide.

Took us a bit we went near the spot three times and went back again 4th time and look again and found it thank you.

When the hint finally kicked in I knew where to look! Liked this hide a lot, have a fp

I could not resist this cache, being close to a velodrome. Many cycling arenas like this that I raced on many years ago have now disappeared and this steep banked one looks impressive. I needed some extra light at the gates with the sun setting and was surprised at what I saw. I took the container back to show MrsFish in the car, it was so good. Thanks to Rock_Dok for another great hide in a location very special to me.

Very clever. When I first saw something odd I thought 'No, it couldn't be', but it was. Great hide TFTC

TFTC

We had some unfinished caching business in Muswellbrook but did a few extra ks to grab a few in Scone and Aberdeen as well.
This one had us stumped for a few minutes, then, again, after a reread of the description a vison appeared as to what this one could be and a re check of a previously searched spot produced the goods. We really liked this one, well made and well placed. Another fav for Rok Dok. Thanks

#4365

We recieved a phone call from Team Senz asking if we wanted to accompany them on a caching epedition to the Muswellbrook area, and we decided to go as there were a few that we haven't found. In total for the day we found 19 caches, with some really good containers and locations.

10/19 This one had us stumped for a short while until Mrs C spotted something out of the ordinary and the cache was located. A fav point from us

TFTC Rock Dok

We decided to go for a drive up to Muswellbrook today with "Team" Chippyroo to find some caches to cross off the map. We parked just off the road before The Gates & walked over. A quick search & the cache was quickly found. Nice container in a sneeky hidey spot. We signed the log & replaced. TFTC

Kids got this one nice

Woop woop, this is a sweet hide. Kinda looks loike an explosive. Scratched my thumb on the long thin bit. Tftc

Nicely hidden. Cache all good.Tftc

Found after coming here to help a mate move and thought I would show him how caching works ,
Had a bit of a struggle to get out as had been pushed in to far but got there in the end.
TFTC.

Found the cache unable to sign log due to we could not open the capsule, very clever, TFTC

Very clever. Took a while to get the lid off but well done.

TFTC

2nd to find. Found on 060415 Great cache. Fav point.

*FTF* Was heading out to do the Burning Mountain caches today at Wingen and had done some research and saw that this and the rock series were ftf's. I checked again on them and saw that All7 and Whitepaws had found the rock series but didnt find this one.

So before travelling to Wingen. We passed through Muswellbrook and I grabbed this cache. I found it quickly. It was a easy cache for a seasoned geocacher like myself. TFTC and hooray another ftf
