Unfortunately cache has been destroyed by a litterbug (see photo). The log was completely soaked.
The GC is completely destroyed and log soaked. I have placed items back into a pile at GZ. Someone has dumped their entire living room at the site.
Was out searching for this cache as part of the clues to solve the Mystery at the Museum puzzle. Read the hint, which helped a bit. This cache is in need of some TLC. Found with SmudgeyCat SR. TFTC
TFTC. The container is damaged (cracked with a hole) as some one has dumped some furniture/rubbish at the site. My daughter did manage to find the container.
Completely destroyed, needs replacing. Also, area has been used for illegal dumping, which makes it a bit dangerous. Nice view though.
Found on a beautiful 10 year anniversary weekend away with the geowife. Tftc!
Container is broken and log is sodden!

Found it with TillyHolmes
It’s broken and it’s all wet. Signed and put it back where we found it. Bring a pen and new container.

There was a patch on the ground where it seemed to be. I don't find it, I think someone took it
Found with my Dad this morning on a caching morning around Wentworth Falls and Lawson....

Find #2125
We ducked out this morning before the rest of the family were active, and cached around the Wentworth Falls area. We finished our list then 'ad libbed' it back to Leura via Lawson finding some other cool spots in the process. A nice little haul of 15 finds and 2 trigs before lunch....
This one took a while, although it shouldn't have - funny enough pricking myself on the bush next to the hide diverted my attention to the hide... The box is cracked and missing clips. TFTC Macca88

Too many impediments to finding this cache today; that spikey thing, the railway workers, SO much horrible rubbish everywhere. This is one for another day.
In Katoomba to walk from Jenolan to Katoomba along the six foot track. A day early so completing a few caches around the area before getting a bus to Jenolan. Found the prickles but not the cache though I did not search in the rubbish. TFTC.
Heading to the city for the weekend and picked up a few caches along the way.
Quick find in the dark.

Found by Mary & David at 1040. We did see a stationary train at the station as we drove past. Love to have these double-decker trains in Melbourne. The lid is cracked and two of the four clips are missing. Our thanks to Macca88.
Staying at frazeydaze's retreat at Blackheath for a coupleweeks and while she does a bit of clearing out etc I'm doing a spot of caching. Today I chased up some caches around Lawson and Bullaburra. This was the second of 13 finds and 2 dnf's. It sure was spiky around GZ. Good view though of the GWH from up here. No trains spotted. TFTC Macca88.
Took a little bit of searching but found the cache somewhere between the pile of rotting chip board and the old mower. Now... off to find a bandaid! TFTC
Great view from up here but pity about the dumped rubbish,could do with a good ol CITO here

Not pleasant, lots of rubbish and saw a baby brown snake slither near the cane, thanks though.
Parked at the top of the hill next to the cache and some newly dumped rubbish - including and old mower. The concealing spiky bush has been singed a bit. Cache was espied without much ado.
This one took a little longer than most of these - cache found about 5m from GZ.

Took the lazy option and drove to GZ. Took a while to locate the cache but got there in the end. TFTC

Tried for about 10 minutes or so but couldn't spot it. One of the spikey bushes seemed as though it had been burnt. Not sure if this was the bush that contained the cache or not.
Last find for the day, it had become very windy, so were glad to head off back home. TFTC Macca88
A lot of builders rubbish around, easy find, tried to camouflage a little better. TFTC
Last cache for a successful day. Obviously it is city folk worrying about the prickles - country folk are tougher TFTC
Found it on a smoky Mothers Day Sunday on the way home from a weekend in Leura. Another quick find. TFTC
Came up here with the Rats for a weekend in the mountains and this was of the few caches we found.
I wasnt the one sticking my hand in there. Lucky Dad was a bit ougher than me.
Thanks

Heading home from a lovely weekend in the mountains we came down the back way to grab these few trainspotter caches.
We knew where to look but everytime we started the mini rat would reel back yelling at Dad.... LOL I soo stuck my hand in and grabbed it.

Number two for the pre-christmas caching trek. Cache was hiding pretty deep into the local vegetation and there was a few ouches, but soon got my hands on that cache. TFTC
Ouch! I used a cache retrieval tool kindly left by a previous finder, but still ouch! Had someone pull up right in front of my car just as I was replacing the cache, so I played trainspotter for a bit and took a couple of photos of a passenger train heading down the mountains.

No blood but not for lack of trying by the tree protecting the cache . Found a nearby retrieval assistant, then my own decides not to work very well. Must be time to stop caching for some lunch. Tftc.

We had no trouble finding this one, but I can't say I enjoyed the experience. Monkey Girl spotted it first & reached out to grab it, ignoring me saying earlier that the plant would hurt. It did hurt her, a lot. Maybe a bison tube on the fence would be a better option than in the middle of that plant?

Don't know why people have had problems with this one, a bit of care and judicious reaching and no damage done which is just as well as these thorn could lead to a tetanus infection.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
This was a dangerous find- spiky bush then tripped on the way back to car. Double ouch! TFTC
I brought some gardening gloves this time. Not entirely necessary considering where the cache was located, but useful all the same. Found with Zonic.
Since finding how to get to this road, it meant that I could make at least three easy finds before the sun disappeared.
Now tat was really spikey. I had to look around from a safe distance before making the find.
Thanks for the cache.

We parked and walked up the slope where I found the spikey place. I managed to retrieve the cache without becoming a pin cushion. Thanks
#3117- well I certainly didn't do these in the logical order, as I had driven past two and had to come back, but that was my lack of planning. Little did I realise they were all on the one road due to my silly car GPS. With it still pouring rain I was well and truly soaked by now, so please this was another instant find. No zip lock bag in here now- but it's all dry at the moment. Thanks.
