At first I was not able to find a clue at posted coords due to lack of experience, but now I can't believed I didn't get it haha
Unfortunately I think the clue is gone as I did see a little magnet but nothing else

Could CO please confirm whether cache is still there? Most likely first clue is gone 
When I got there I tried to figure out where it could be by looking at the hint. But the hint didn't make much sense so I looked at the activity, was pretty discouraging seeing its been a long time since anyone found it.
I hope this cache gets its former glory

This one is a DNF for me after getting to GZ. There was a green screen here once but no cache I can find
Found WP1 with ease, took a while at WP2 but found it in the end after standing back in the right spot. WP2 was a little wet, container isn’t waterproof. Got to GZ but couldn’t find it in the end, a bit of council work in the area may mean it’s missing.
Thought I’d have a go at this one, despite it not being found for a while.
No probs at WP1.
WP2 was tricky but the CO kindly helped out with some extra details. One of the previous logs mentioned some lantana taking over...I should have taken that as a hint rather than a hinderance! Was able to spot the cache eventually.
As for GZ, I looked long and hard and got some confirmation from the CO that I was in the right spot...but no luck. I fear that the council have cleared away what might have acting as camo, and it’s gone missing.
I could be wrong though! I’ll keep my eye on this one.
Thanks Apher!

Got my hands on the coords for WP2. Turned up at WP2 and couldn't seem to find anything sensible. I think this was just me though, geosense a bit off today. I'll be back.
Thanks
Thanks
Ahper I found your cache BlitzMintTubeBlue on 6/1/19, 1:34 pm. This is my find 2223 and find # 5 today. Had no problem locating WP1, gathered information and headed off to WP2. Found parking near the tunnel and a short walk to WP2. GPSr was all over the place, searched here, there and everywhere but unable to locate. Pretty sure I knew what I was looking for from the hint and previous logs. Decided to send a message to Morty8888 for some help. Thanks for the quick response and the extra hint. Expanded my search and eventually found it. Undergrowth and lantana starting to take over the area. With the final coordinates in hand, off to GZ. Again struggled here, but came up with the cache eventually. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN
OCW Oldmorty to clean up some smileys. I started this multi a few months ago but ran out of time so we headed to WP2 to struggle a little before spying the sneaky container. Then off to GZ where the hint was interpreted by Oldmorty and he located it without oo much trouble. TFTC!
OCW morty8888 in the inner western subs. Here we had trouble with the cords at each of the wps and at GZ but we got there in the end after PAF. TFTC Ahper.
Just needed to go back to GZ and again it appeared a DNF was on the cards. Just for the heck, googled the hint and up came a possibility and bam. Well I never thought of, well I like that hint, great one Apher
Easily had WP1 in hand and drove over to WP2 at where I struggled. With a hint from the CO as I was searching in the dark, spied the blue container.
Over to GZ at where the GPS had me in the water but my search was in vien as my eyes must be playing up. No dice here, TFTH Apher

We started this multi a few weeks ago when I was on crutches. We did WP1 and 2 and decided to leave GZ for another time. That time was today! The coords seemed to be in a rather intimidating spot that didn't match the terrain rating, but we decided to have a look nearby anyway. We were pleasantly rewarded with a find after a quick search. TFTC!
We started this one a few weeks ago. Didn't have a chance to get to the GZ then. We noticed the gps puts us in an interesting spot on the map, but considering the possibilities, we decided to take our chances. In the end it was a quick find and the geopuppies were very happy to get a chance visiting the nice area. TFTC.
Awesome cache. Co-ordinates for WP2 were a little off, but hints led us to the location. Overall, a success!
Found WP1 without problem.
At WP2 I looked and looked and looked. I read and read and got some ideas. But after a while I was looking in the same places again. So I gave up.

Woo-hoo found it! Thanks to a PAF who confirmed the final was not in fact where our GPS was putting us...which would not have been much fun. This was better. Tftc
Started this multi awhile back but was unable to complete. Returned this afternoon to finish. Arrived at GZ and with some help from PAF made a pretty quick find TFTC
DNF revenge! I worked out GZ a couple of weeks ago but came up with nothing even with help from a previous finder. It had gone AWOL. Thanks to CO for the rapid response and replacing so quickly. I turned up again with the geodog, and still had some trouble. A message to the CO, and with a little guidance I had CIH. Thanks for helping out. Maybe it was the clouds and oncoming rain, but I had it 10m away. A FP from Brew for taking me around this area. TFTC
Gone at GZ. Looked for half an hour. Even with PAF help. Maybe CO might check when possible. Otherwise it's my cache blindness!
Nice walk around the area this afternoon. Lots of kids headed to the oval for after-school soccer training. Got what we needed at WP1 and the took a detour to pick up Pole Cache. Made our way to WP2 and found that the clever use of local happenstance in the hint led us to the container better than the coordinates. On to GZ where we poked around for a little while until we found what we were after a little away from where our device took us. Nice toour of the neighbourhood. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
A busy day today meant I needed a nearby cache fir my streak. As I was heading to the shopping centre I chose this multi.
A quick grab at WP1, but the trouble started for me at WP2 - I just couldn’t get accurate GPS positioning - I spent a good 15 minutes going round in circles before I finally spotted the blue monkey!
On to WP3, thankfully not in the water as my iPhone suggested, a much quicker find here although I was expecting something blue.
A nice walk in Leichhardt

Thanks for the cache

I started off well with an easy find at waypoint 1.
At waypoint 2 I had to use Hade's suggested adjustment and step back and see to make the find!?!
After about fifteen minutes and checking I was in the right spot I spotted the container about five metres from my GZ well hidden.
At least I got some walking up for the day!?!
