After reading Newluks6 log of Sept 1018, it appears that this cache is no longer here.
Could the CO complete maintenance at this good location.

I don’t think the cache is here anymore. There is a bee monitoring box but no successful finds for a while makes me think this one is gone.
Looks like lots of activity around here at the moment with gardening and a bee monitoring box right at the coordinates. Thanks for bringing me over here for a bike ride tho
Found this yesterday but unfortunately we had to remove it as the gardeners were putting mulch there. They were highly suspicious of the container and wouldn't touch it. Had reported it to their supervisor and they were making plans for its removal. So we took it with us. Have emailed the owner.
Quick find with a good hint. We found this cache only 25 metres from co ords. I was expecting a long hint further afield from previous logs but not too far. Tftc.
Cannot get into sight atm, it's fully fenced off and being worked on, perhaps someone should check the cache hasn't been discovered by muggles and disposed of!
All trackables taken and cache moved about 20m from coordinates. Not good. Placed back where we found it so have a good look about 20 meters away TFTC
Found with littlemissleft and littlemisslonglegs
Found after a search about 10m away from coords
But yay it’s a ammo can in great condition
Was found out in the open so it’s now covered again

Found with Gazkersh and littlemisslonglegs. Fun search and even more exciting find. Thanks so much for placing this cache! Fav point from me
I was hoping to find this cache as I have a trackable that I need to drop. But all I found today were old empty wine bottles.

Was in the area tonight so after looking at the map found this cache I had not yet found.
After a short search in the dark using the light on the phone and hiding it from passing cars the cache was in hand. The log was signed and I took a travel bug to move along.

needed to find a larger cache so i could drop some tb's from Canada. the first one is in honour of my daughter's wedding today with her auzzie beau. they will be living in Canada, so hopefully the tb will find its way home again. dropped two other tb's that need to go to NZ and Aus. cache in great shape, but about 6 or 7 m from GZ. used the clue and made the find TFTC.
Finally tracked down a wonderful ammo can, but unfortunately there were NO TB’s inside, even though 4 were listed! Not to worry, we left one for the next finder. A fascinating old pump house and amazing old Moreton Bay fig trees too. SL at 4.30pm Left: USA Flag tag TB #5281 TFTCTeam-Tonka
Thought it was the sprinkler system and started screwing, looks just like a Geocache. But if that's not it, we couldn't find it.
On a sunny autumn afternoon despite the mozzies we enjoyed looking for the cache and looking at the cruise ship. Once we widen our search it was easily found.
Fangsoki and Pprime (P') and I were on a road trip for Easter to the Mega Event and had a list of caches that we wanted to get while we were away.
There were no muggles around so there was no interruptions to our searching.
We all started searching around GZ without any lock. We looked at the listing and saw we were looking for Regular container.
Pprime then widened the search area and soon spotted the cache.

Heading to OzGeoMuster Mega, with Fangsoki and Crew153 in the mighty Suzee. Day two, and we've made it to Newcastle. Another old building cache (we love them). For some reason we all wanted a different tree to the one the cache was hidden with, but we soon widened the search and a quick find was then made. A great spot.
Thanks for placing this cache, Team-Tonka. Found in good condition.

Pprime, Crew 153, and I pulled up for this one next.
Oh. History. I hate history.. said no Fangsoki ever.
I admit to examining said "house" while the others searched. We all searched in the wrong places until Pprime announced he head found it. Well that embarrassingly took a long time to find.
We signed the log and re-hid the cache as found. Thanks for showing us the House and the good information in the listing. TFTC Team-Tonka

well it wasn't actually a DNf as we found the cache but could not get it open. The lid was wedged shut with the zip lock bag hanging out . We did enjoy the area though looking at the tankers nearby and looking at the old pump house, so don't mind coming back. Thanks for the cache Frisky puppet
Nice bunch of stuff in the cache but down to 1 TB left. I picked one up and will be bringing it back to the USA and place it there.
found this one with my Family account quite some time ago CO gave permission for me to log it with my new personal account

Found during our stay in beautiful Australia. Thank you. Greetings from Czech republic.
Didn't find it the first time around but, with some clues from previous logs, homed in on it this time! And, yes, the coordinates are a little off according to my iPhone and I should have expanded my search last time.
Thanks for the cache, Team-Tonka, took nothing, left nothing and signed the log.

Fun find. Geocache full of stuff but none of the four listed trackables were present.
No pen in cache

Oh dear, not having much geoluck today. Three Carrington caches in the area but only found one. I did discover what looked to be the camouflage that might have been hiding the cache. I shall have to keep watch to see if there are more skilled sleuths than me, and make another trip some other day.
Found it but also had trouble and could not open the box. 2nd time lucky for me on th s cache. Glad to find it this time
After grabbing a nearby FTF we came to take a look at this one. It is such a grand old building and looks magnificent of a night. It it caches at places like this that we really enjoy. Cache was quickly located, the lid was hard to opened but managed to pull it fine. As we got back to the car a drone flew out of nowhere and just hovered high above us. I think we may have been under some sort of surveillance. Quite a strange experience. TFTC.
Found this while having a rid on my bike, love the container I have not seen one of these in some time.
The lid was named on pretty tight though and I could not remove it.
Interesting place though.

Quick easy find. Had trouble opening the cache, so I'll have to return soon. Think the lid might be jammed. TFTC!!! Cool spot. #994
Easy find on a damp day. What a great old building, it will be great to see it once it has its renovation. TFTC
Yeahhh Gotcha together with our aussi friend and my better half we took a walk after a goooood mexican Lunch and found this cool place. TFTC
8:25am 19/11 - in the area for a relative's milestone in the local ParkRun. While they were off doing that, tadpoles and I came looking for a cache. I'd spied this one before leaving Canberra as I have a number of bugs I wanted to drop off in Newcastle this weekend.
A quick find in a shady spot. Who doesn't love an ammo box? A LOT of swaps inside so a little hard to track down the bugs already here - picked up one in a bag that turned out to be two. Dropped off three.
The log book bag is ripped so replaced that with a new one that seals.

Found with trillian on a nice day for it. Lid was on a little tight, took both of us to open it.
An after dinner detour to drop off a Team-Tonka TB in one of their caches.
I dropped off EIGHT!!!

What a cool building. Looks like something from a movie set. Love the ammo container as well. TFTC
A great piece of history. It's good to see such a large cache container hidden right under our noses in an urban area. TFTC Team-Tonka
Quick find.
I am surprised it hasn't been muggled.
It looks like a resting place for some wino's , lots of empty wine bottles laying under the tree.

A quick fun ride with the new T.S to get to this hidden nice place together with Uncle Grog, Dino and Pebbles. Very pretty building and nice big container. Some close by wine buttles suggest some risk for survival.

We arrived by cruise ship! We that was the novelty! The QE was docked nearby and we were returning from being in town. I really liked the building and it is wonderful that there is a cache here to give it added meaning! Thanks....
Nice find! I lived in carrington for a while and didn't even know this was here
This one has been on our list for a while, we never seemed to be nearby.... dropped in today, Samuel made the find pretty quickly, at a GZ littered with wine bottles.... TFTC
