Sad to see my first cache archived.....
will possibly hide a cache here in the future but this cache didn't attract to much 'Awesome cache logs' and that's what hiders look for so if i hide a new cache here it will be really good.... in my opinion!!! thanks to those who found it, the location is up for cacher's who are up for the challenge of hiding a muggle free cache!

Rampske

This is the first time one of my caches have had a log for maintainence!!!!!! That was the cache, it was a flat magnet. Thank you dick007 for reporting it. The old micro has gone missing as well, I will contemplate archiving this cache or moving it unless I can find a good idea for a hide on this bus stop as it is constantly going missing

Rampske

I am not sure if this was the container but we found this near the bus shelter ans we are wondering if this was apart of the cache as we were unable to find.

Found it, in the grass. Have placed back on the bus shelter.

Nice! Sneaky first one of these I have found

Sneaky! Took ages to find. But did eventually. Thx

Good one

I've been intending to come and find this guy for ages but never quite got round to it. Today however, with the holidays upon us and the Geomonkey drowning under a pile of holiday homework, I decided that the Geoboys needed to remind themselves of what the outdoors looked like. So, after failing miserably at origami, I dragged my two reluctant recruits out the door.
We parked nearby and wandered over to look for this guy, only to have Geoboy #2, the smallest and grumpiest of our number, take a chunk of skin off his hand at the nearby fence...hmmm...that improved his mood no end...
Sigh. I read the hint and had a thought and set the boys to searching while I ducked back to the Geo6E to remove my sunglasses which always fall off if I look anywhere other than up and which I always forget to take off. I put them away and turned around only to notice a significant improvement in the attitude of Geoboy #2.
Yes, he'd found it...but he still-didn't-want-to-be-caching-and-that's-it-we've-found-it-can-we-go-home-now???!!!! No! We can't! There are more to find!
So, ignoring the groans, I managed a scrawl on the log (my pen doesn't like shiny paper), he replaced as found and off we went to the next.
Thanks Rampske !

Gone replace soon

New container in place it is harder to find this all the hints. Tweezers will help you

No Luck

Last one for the night, before heading home for tea. Mum and the kids investigated the lower areas, while dad being tall checked out more lofty possibilities. Drawing a blank and standing back for a talk about where else it might, Neville-devil joined us and shortly thereafter announced, "I see it'. Now how did we miss that? we were left to ponder. TFTC!

Nice find

Brilliant cache found with johnny finn

Found with mel.sim very creative hiding spot

Found this one on a night mission with Ohm3. TFTC

Quick search of GZ soon had this one in hand. Log nearly full, CO needs to replace very soon. TFTC.

Tricky little find
Checked all the usual places for a bus stop geocache finding nothing

Wasn't until I stepped back thinking what my next move would be, was when I saw the cache

Log signed and cache returned

TFTC

Sneaky little cache, we found it the first time, but didn't realise what it was. My 4yo dropped it and we almost lost it. After finding the next cache at the top of the hill we realised how clever people can be at hiding caches so we returned to sign in.

6 spaces in log left so will wait to replace log,

Cheers, Rampske

Didn't have a pen to sign the log

Had tried for this one once before, but school kids were everywhere mid afternoon - hopeless! This time I walked up at lunchtime, no buses, no muggles, and almost immediately spotted the prize, retreated to sign the log, and then replaced. TFTC

After coming back down from Melbourne we decided to find some geocaches. We came to the GZ and had a look around then Geo Dad found the cache. Thank you Rampske

We arrived near GZ late this afternoon just as the bus was leaving and so with no muggles about we were free to begin our search that took us a short while. Mature Geohubby proved yet again that he is able to stretch well and soon the cache was in hand, log signed and cache returned to it lofty spot!
TFTC Rampske

Great hide! Didn't take too long but always satisfying to find a nano! Tftc

The very 1st place I put my hand and BOOM!! Gotcha

Very clever cache

This would definitely be impossible if there were people here.... Hmm... How many places can there be to hide a cache? Looking high... Looking low.... Gotcha! TFTC

Theres no way i could have looked for this one if there we're people at the bus stop. Found it

This guy was our second find this morning. Being a public holiday, there were not too many muggles around, and we soon spotted it. As the log was not willing to come out in a hurry, we took it to the car, used a tool and left our mark.
Great to find another one of your hides Rampske, especially now that we can associate a face with your name. Keep up the good work!

This was a sneaky hide as we had looked everywhere and when we were about to give up, Mr Happy gave the call of "I see it". Thanks Rampske FTC.

All quiet here this evening. It's always nice not having to get on hands and knees to find a nano. TFTC

Had a bit of a stretch to get this after the bus stop muggles departed. Thanks to Rampske for the hunt.

We were at the sister in-laws house this afternoon and noticed this cache was near by since last time we visited (100 metres from the gz in fact) so I just had to wandered over with the geokids and make a quick find after a short search.Thanks Rampske for the cache.

#14 in the log, dog came in real handy!

Just about to give up when GeoMum spotted it. Luckily I am a bit taller than her and retrieved it easily. TFTC!

When this came up as a newbie, we were out of town. That's right, the closest cache to "home zero" in yonks, and not a chance. With the new recruit geodaughter in tow, this was a good choice because a) it was on the way home and b) the Telstra blokes were working opposite and I could ask them when the phone would be back on. We sat in the car while a couple of muggles with dog in tow left the reserve and then wandered down. Just getting into it when the muggle lass came back and said "is this that caching thing?" They live adjoining the reserve, and had been a little puzzled by the number of cars coming by, stopping, flashing torches about, and then departing. She had heard about geocaching and we had quite a chat. Will they sign up? John'd put a small wager on it. Back to the cache ... check the usual places ... nope ... take the wider view ... bugger! It was winking at us! Thought of knocking the couple up and showing them, nah, just too creepy to do that. The phone? Oh, the phone! The usual, the great unknown "some b*stard" had dropped a digger through a sizeable cable. When would it be fixed? Sorted a hundred or so mate, never know. Well, I'm logging this! All good! TNLN, SL, TFTC!

Smaller than I was expecting! Fun find, tftc

lucky im 6'5!

Well I can finally convert a green square into a smiley as the closest cache to home is published and I am in Sydney. Easter Saturday at lunch time seemed to be a good time to look for this little fellah and had a quick look in the area on arrival but did not spot it. After checking out other areas another look in this area and there it was so having no tools but it came out very easy so log was signed and replaced.
Thanks Rampske for placing this cache but you could have waited until I was home, well some you win and some you don't.

Found while driving around for work and needed a cache for stats

Tftc

Easy geocache

Well disguised
Tftc

Driving past so thought would stop as was a new cache in my local area. Nice find close to geo kids school.
Was not equipped will, so was unable to remove the log to sign

After numerous attempts to try and find it. I was sure I knew where it was but was height challenged to see. After a clue from a fellow cacher it confirmed what I knew. Finally made it a smiley. TFTC

Needed a cache to celebrate 11yrs of caching and this was it. Had a quick look around the area under the cover of darkness then took a step back and spotted the cache. Signed & replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache Rampske

After fuelling up in the nearby servo, we headed up the hill to grab this new cache.
Under the cover of darkness we were able to retrieve this micro without much fuss apart from the local barking dog.
Put pen to paper and rehid, ready for the next finder.
Thanks Rampske for the cache.

Out and about today during work and grabbed this one with a little tyke helping out.

Took quiet some time to find! Worst part didnt have a pen, so signed log in white paint that was in the car repair kit. Its there

TFTC

Tried my luck at FTF but no luck. Had to leave before the next bus came. Tftc anyway

Geodad received the notification and when geokid got back from school, the search was on. A fav for the retrieval. Geodad sat in car while geokid spotted and retrieved the cache and put it back. ( with some trouble ) . TFTC Rampske a great third hide.

Visited TB

FTF 10:37 LL

FTF

Saw the notification pop up but this cache being on the other side of town from my personal Geocaching HQ, I figured oh well...
An hour later I have another look and see the FTF still hasn't been claimed so I convince the wife to take me over that way (as I have very recently fractured wrist and on some pretty 'happy' meds still) and make the find.
An empty bus stop and a nice clean log still greeted me and I let the wife sign & date it for me as writing with my other hand I would've taken up the whole log!

Thanks Rampske for the FTF & cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

A second to find for Suscoe soon after midday on a cloudy and cool day.
All was quiet as suscoe approached GZ.
No travellers present made for a possible search.
Soon saw what Suscoe was looking for.
Retrieved, sat on the seat to sign the log and popped this one back for the next finder.
Thanks to Rampske for placing this cache here, we have explored the pipeline previously.
Time to head home for lunch!
