DNF Looked in a variety of spots at this GZ, being poked & prodded by weeds, needles & prickles... currently it’s definitely not geo-munchkin friendly. I’m glad they’re not with me today ~ i could not locate. Is it still there??
No luck with this one. Lots of dead grass around from flood waters so not sure if it was affected.
I’m guessing the only thing stopping me from finding this exposed cache yesterday was the 5cm of water covering the area. Got rid of the water, the new ant nest and replaced the pencil after recovering it from where i cleaned it out from. Wander down the concrete path and compare it to the photo from today of the area
No green trees around here. No green anything around here. Chords were jumping all over the place.
Took a bicycle ride from our caravan park to find this one. It was about 20 metres out from our GZ.

Finally we go there!!! WOW this one has been my nemesis for a while. From a DNF for the FTF!!! And two other visits. Today we finally came up trumps after 40 mins of searching. The new co-ords are out by a bit as well. I used the old ones and burgo's hint ( 20m off and the other side of the path ) The power lines must be playing havoc with the GPS signal. The poor small tree has seen better days and I don't think he will see out this dry season. The log and contents are still in the cache and are doing fine. Thanks yeahbrah_12345 for the chase.
Found the container and the plastic bag but no other contents. Did not have any paper with me to replace.
Found following the coordinates in the logs for a short walk from Wallum Close. Cache in good nick but is a single grass fire away from obliteration. TFTC.
New coordinates S 19° 18.631 E 146° 41.676
Sorry for inconvenience

No luck today. Went out during the night and couldn't see it. Not sure what the hint about the little green tree was but maybe if it was day we would have seen it. Oh well:/
On a morning mission with Burgo78 to find a few archived ones. We had one in the area and we had a look for this too. Suddenly Burgo found it! I had given up a long time ago on ever finding it.
About 20 meters out across the path from my coordinates.
Added a new log to the cache as the old one was filthy

Out with Karicka to find some archived caches in the area and this one wasn't really on the radar however we walked towards the car through the grass rather than on the path and stumbled on it about 20m away from where the GPS was pointing on the other side of the path. Cache is not water tight and the log was unsignable so dropped in another. TFTC.
Area was unsanitary with used contraceptive items. Didn't have any garbage bags with me to tidy up... Litter everywhere Shame to come across really when you have children with you. Will try again soon.
TFTC! half way there it started pouring with rain so we had to stop under the shelter and made it just in time.
I found this last weekend with my Aunty but only just got an account to log the find. TFTC.
I Came back for a second look with my nephew geoboy. We were quick to find it after reading the comments. TFTC.
Having seen how keen the local crew are here after having missed two previous FTF a few weeks or so ago and determined to get my first FTF, I saw the email about the red rope about half an hour after it was sent out, so imediately organised myself and shot off. Who cares about the spiders and snakes, right?
I didn't take the time to look at the update and see that there was also a picutre. As I'm visiting from overseas and have no data here, I couldn't look this up once away from WiFi. After arriving on site in the dark with my super bright running headtorch, I wandered around in ever increasing circles looking for this damn red rope, but once again, no success. Turns out I did pass the tree with the cache, but didn't spot it or the red rope.
I gave up and went back to my parents' place again and took a look to see if it had been found. It hadn't, but there was a picture and I was pretty sure I knew where this was. I returned only to pass the spot many times again. From the picture, I had picked out the trees next to the tree with the cache. Almost ready to give up, I did one last thorough search, no red rope, but bingo, there was a supicious cache like looking container. Opening in up I was ready to find that someone had beaten me to it like last time, but no, not this time. Bam, my first FTF.
I have to say, I think the co-ords are still wrong by about 15-20 metres. I have included a pic of the contents, but not the cache container or red rope. I didn't spot the red rope until after I had found the cache. I suggest fixing the co-ords and deleting the pic of the trees and remove the red rope. If the co-ords are good then they will find it without these extras.

Ok. Having heard that Fire Horse had finally collected the goodies on this one, I thought I'd give it a try. It only took a few minutes with the knowledge of the red ribbon and the photo under my belt.
After the find, I paced 23 full strides from where the GPS Coordinates place the cache to its real location. It is definitely off and will need to be re-calibrated. With new GPS Coordinates and the photo as the clue, I definitely think you should lose the red ribbon ASAP. It made it too easy. Actually, I'd lose the lot and change the hint from Little Green Tree to Kangaroo Track and it would be a good seek. Plenty of Kanga tracks around to cause confusion.
Anyway, TFTC.

Second look this afternoon, with the number of dnf logs its time for owner to have a look
Spotted the email after about 1.5hrs of posting, shot out for a look and grabbed phume on the way, but no luck. Was expecting to see other hunters anytime, but none showed while we were there. The clue is a little ambiguous, but maybe it's cryptic and we didn't get it. Between the two of us we have 3 GPS devices that all placed us between the two trees next to the pylon. We spent quite a bit of time looking, but no luck. It now appears three others have also not been able to find it. Seems the coords need correcting, or at least a more handy clue. Lots of little green trees there.
On my way past we dropped in for a look but with no luck. We looked for a bit but with the tide calling we continued on with our fishing trip to insulator creek.
Arrived at the GZ with Great expectations… recently published, no logs, nobody around…
Searched high and low until battery in my mobile run out… Two other search parties turned up while I was on the GZ and I think we all went home without the price…

I was feeling hopeful that this might be my first FTF as normally I am working when new caches are pushed. But unfortunately I had no luck. I met C&M + B&B at the geozone and it was nice to put a face to the name.
