Thought I would take a look in spite of the 2 previous dnf logs. Found the hint object easily enough, but the cache was definitely not there, and there is no cover there any more either. Widened the search a but just in case, but didn't find anything within a reasonable distance.
Looks like this one has gone again. May need to find a new hidey hole nearby.
I decided to come and have another look and hopefully find the cache while the going was good. Wasn't where I expected it to be. Unfortunately I can see it disappearing again at some stage. TFTC
We found it, but I'm pretty certain it's not where it ought to be. Also, is there more than one orange fox? Looking down, we saw one en route (very clever) but it was several metres off the GZ. Either way, it was a great find especially for two adventuring boys who were keen scramblers. My kids loved the sparkly jars (thanks whoever put these in); great cache for kids, loads of room to drop off and pickup swag. Hope someone enjoys the spider!
Thought I better visit this cache as it's so close to home! Found the container in the open so have hidden it from the muggles... *TFTC smashacache #38*
Took a walk after Christmas Dinner and needed some fresh air! Nice to find the nice big cache container in good shape but hope it lasts as it is quite easy to find and hope the wrong sort of people do not visit the location soon.
Found while walking the Southern Walkway on a lovely winters day with 15 other members of a tramping club. TFTC
The third find of a cache cluster hunt. I had misread the hint and was looking for something quite different. A little concerned that 0m was right next to a strip of cleared scrub so I was worried that the cache had gone, but with a little further hunting I found it a little exposed. I wasn't until I replaced that I spotted something which when I looked at the hint again, made everything clear. TFTC
Nice views and a surprising number of people walking the track leading up the hill. Passed a young lady playing with her phone shortly after leaving GZ. there must be some pokemons up this way I guess.

#85. Bit windy up the top of the hill this morning, but well worth the walk up for the views! Lived 885 metres from here for 42 years, and this was the first time I had been up here. Saw the cache before spotting the orange fox! Tftc.
The cache is an easy find but the lid had become unclipped and the box was thoroughly wet. Fortunately the zip lock bags were in good shape and sealed so the contents were fine. Signed log (actually, I signed the extra sheets before I found the real log so I signed both), emptied as much water as I could and sealed everything back up. TFTC
#2229 Out and about knocking off a few more Wellington caches while the weather is playing nice. Hadn't been up to this spot since finding nearby Albert's Post back in Oct 2012. Amazing views and had the place to myself. The cache was very exposed so I added a clump of vegetation to cover it better- hope it sticks around. Took TB for further travels. Thanks for the cache and bringing me back here.
Found with TregearP. Cache was in the open so tucked back where the clue suggested.
All in good order, TFTC.

Cache was a little exposed when we got to it so SJT_NZ pulled his pocket spade out and dug it in a little more and concealed with surrounding long grass, dropped off a little Pillsbury pisces geocoin for further travels. TFTC great view
Tftc - definitely worth coming up here for the view . Found today while on a walk while stopped over on the way home from Gold Coast
Worth the trip just for the fox! Perhaps took longer than it should, but found it in the end. TFTC, +FP.
Another great find while out in the area with Just-Lookin.
Bit of searching had the container located. SL TFTC

Enjoyed this cache. Wandered around the spot several times without finding the obvious clue. Found it a couple of days ago but didn't have a pen! Revisited and logged.
Thanks for the cache.

Hey we're not dead just a bit puffed. Found with little blue hen who spotted the fox. TFTCSL
After 303 km in France over 22 days.....easy stuff......hardly a puff. Didn't fox us. T4TCSL
Took us ages, looked in wrong spots about 3 times. Until we read recent logs we didn't find the fox. Didn't have pen so attached a photo of logbook. TFTC
Nice sunny day for a geo adventure took us a long time no pen so my friend took a picture. TFTC.
Nice spot - took us a while to find since there were so many good spots. Nice Fox

GPS lead me a bit astray here before using head and not GPS for a quick find. TFTC!!!
It's been ages since I came up here. Beautiful views on a blustery day threatening but not delivering any rain. Cute fox!! I feel sorry for the poor buggers stationed up here back in the day... TFTC
Spent and 10 minutes looking for this one after we ignored the obvious location. Original coordinates are off, Boxhills helped us find it
GZ brought back some memories of a very cold winter's day when we found the now archived cache in this location. Fortunately it was a much milder day today despite being the middle of winter again. M5 Jnr found the cache on one of his very rare geocaching trips (the computer screen holds more attraction for him these days). Picked up geocoin to move on. TFTC
A nice straight-forward find near some construction but over the hill and outasight thankfully. Good scenic spot... With DjaliDjinn on a dog walk..
First attempt failed as I was a bit confused by the coordinates and it was also dusk by the time I got there. Second time around I used Huhugrub's coordinates and very soon spotted the hint object. The dog didn't mind the two trips - he got a couple of nice long walks out of it! TFTC.
"We can see our house" shouted boy bean when we got to GZ. "and a cat!" Cute fox, well hidden, thanks for bringing us here, great views! Released a bat, left a jandal.
A lovely day for a dog walk with Yosser 9. I had been tempted to join the race for FTF when the notification came through a few days back, but I was busy with other things, so I reluctantly decided to leave the Walking Dead for another day. Cute fox! Fortunately no zombies in the area. TFTC
#1016. Needed the FWF for a challenge series. So out after dinner to a new area of town for me. Busy area with the night hockey in action down below. Up the hill and parked near the houses. Then hunted around for the walkway entrance. Found it and hoped the path would get me near the cache rather than the gorse I could see. Reached the trig and uploaded huhugrubs coordinates. It was a quick find after that. Found the cache first then noticed the fox in the dark. Great views. Fortunately there weren't any night walkers around to scare the living daylights out of me. Left a TB. TFTC
Came for a walk up to here this morning in stunningly perfect weather - you could see for ever! Found after a short search using huhugrub's coordinates, I missed it right at the start and didn't come back to it until a bit later. I remember finding a previous cache (GC2B87C, "Look Out Below") in almost exactly the same spot about 5 years ago before it was archived. Thanks for the nicely done cache Theo, and I like the fox!
Great cache. GPS out by about 8m. Took umbrella. Left baby with cookie jar. TFTC.

#6650. 3rd team to find. Nice short ramble up the Southern Walkway in Berhampore this morning. Had a look at the construction work for a new reservoir nearby. Great views. GZ was all quiet. Found after a short search of a widened area, 8 metres way. The cache was in excellent condition, all nice and dry. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.
Had to wait until after dinner to find this one. We saw it hadn't been logged so headed up the hill. Looked around in the gorse for a bit, but then found the hint object and cache 8m from the co-ordinate. TFTC 
FTF with LCBuilder at 5:35pm tonight! Saw the notification shortly before home time and meet LCBuilder at the bottom. A couple muggles on the way up but no one at GZ. Very happy when I spotted the hint object! and what a great spot for a cache, TFTC.
