Hi sorry I have been off the grid for a while, slowly getting back, I see this has been temporarily disabled so I will do my best to get a new container and critter and enable again. This may take a couple of weeks.

Hi Darzee Di,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

I hope it hasn't gone for another walk....

Still can't find this one.

DNF - coming back another day

Looked everywhere cannot find. Will be back to look another time

Came up empty handed here tonight, searched much longer than normal. No help from clue

No finds in over a year and a string of dnf's i reckon a co check is in order.

Disabling while creating new creature....keeps getting taken

New crazy critter in place ready to be found. Please put back how you found it to make the game exciting. Thanks

Add my DNF to the list. No finds in over a year and a string of dnf's i reckon a co check is in order.

I had a decent look around today but couldnt seem to find it anywhere, I hope to be back to have another look another time

A relatively thorough search here with no find other than a fair amount of litter. Recent logs would suggest it’s had some troubles lately, but may all be in the eye of the beholder

Was geocaching for 12 hours straight today, in an attempt to (a) beat my record for caches found in a single day, (b) beat my record for caches found in a month and (c) continue to beat my record for longest caching streak. If my mathematics is correct (doubtful), I believe I achieved all of these objectives – woohoo! Did a loop walk from Hall, up to One Tree Hill, and through Casey, before picking up a few addition caches at Gold Creek.

TFTC!

I found the container and the book, someone had vandalised it.. I think I have put it back in it's original spot. Also needs maintenance, book is damp. Thanks.

This one has been muggled again so disabled until I find similar critter or a better location

Found shattered remains of something ceramic, along with evidence of a bonfire, so wondering if this cache has been muggled.

So much broken glass and rubbish around that I’d honestly be surprised if it’s still there. Unfortunate DNF

Dnf. Surprised if this cache is still here. A lot of activity in the area.

Searched and searched around for a while but no luck today.

Avenging a DNF for me here today. Surprised that amongst all the rubbish and obvious activity that this cache is still in place. It was probably between 5-10 minute search but the cache was eventually located. Thanks for the series. A few more to go!

As per previous activity log

Unfortunately the entire area around GZ is like a dump - there's household rubbish, broken bikes, broken bottles, displaced signs and lots of evidence of digging (by people) and rocks being moved and thrown.

I did find two black cable ties that may have had something to to with the cache, but may have also been off one of the signs thoughtlessly thrown down here.

So sad to see how people treat our natural areas.

Suffice to say I couldn't locate the cache amongst this - it may need a CO check.

Final find for the morning, thanks for the fun!

Nice!

The kids couldn’t quite find it, they found some rocks that didn’t match, but not the marker.

Love a local kid doing the bmx track who says it’s over there

Been watching this one for a while waiting for it to get replaced. Thanks Darzee Di for maintaining it. Finally got around to collecting today as the stormy skies put me off going for a longer walk. TFTC

TD helped me spot the hiding location. Took the lovely pathtag as I've never seen one before! Will log it later

Beautiful day to pick up this cache in the local green space. Quick and easy find on our way through. TFTC Darzee Di.

Out with GrimRaider this morning to pick up some GumTree items and noticed this cache had been enabled.

Condition Report:. Good and dry
Log Status:. Nice new log book

Thanks for hiding this cache Darzee Di

New critter all in place to be found. Please ensure you put back the way you found it to make the game exciting thanks

New critter created will place in next day or two and enable, making sure critter is fixed tight ....

Ministro - Matt

Came here today but it’s full of rubbish and lots of little kids. Probably needs relocation.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Needs maintenance. Several dnfs and no sign of the cache

Out and about in the area and stopped in search for a while but no joy. I'd say this one's gone

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Unfortunate a dnf for this one thanks for the search.

Seeing as this hasn't been found in a year decided to have a quick look, and as suspected no sign of the cache, a little bit of rubbish though.

Did not find got swooped by a Maggie

Searched for a while but couldn’t put our hands on it. Will have to try again another day. Thanks for the search.

Out with Duckeedoo this afternoon trying to pick up a few caches in an area we haven’t really explored before. Really wanted to find this one but no luck today! Will be back to find this critter!

Searched and searched but couldn't find. Will have to come back

Cutest find to date!! no log paper and I didn’t have any to put in! But still a fun find

   CUT AND PASTE SECTION
Streak day 75
Below is a blurb about us.
We are trying to get a badge from Project-GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to
get badges for adding photos to our found logs.
We Started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full time (living in a caravan), caching fits in well with this lifestyle.
It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone.
When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there to get the caches we want.
Trackables with us at this cache are:
Safari tony the tiger
Bonobo travel monkey tag
Son of red
Rhodes travel tong
Stanley the bushman
Travelling teddy
Piglet travels
Osterlamm2014
Friendship tag
Aussie bug
DucIncs viking ship
Miss jenn lackey tag 11
TB challenge worldwide traveller

Needs new log paper

The log book is full so would be grateful if you are in the area if you could put a new one in as I won't be able to for at least 4 weeks thank you

Last find for the day. A nice scramble. TFTC

Good to see locals looking after the wildlife in the area TFTC

Over from Adelaide to see the inlaws celebrate Cachemas day in a few days time. Another cute container. Fav awarded

Found

Found with Nibletricecakes and CountryKittyCat after work. #TheStreakContinues.

Another nice spot to explore, thanks Darzee! I really enjoyed looking around here, and jumping from rock to rock. There were lots of interesting trees, deadfalls and rocks to inspect. I spent some time just having an adventure among the trees and rocks before looking for the cache. Once I started looking, it wasn't too hard to find. It only had one small piece of paper in there, so I signed that, but perhaps the actual log is missing.
I'm looking forward to more crazy critter caches! TFTC!

Gotcha!!

Cache has no log in it

A little late afternoon into sunset caching to crunch my thirst after a day in front of the computer.
I noticed that I had a spy on me, a little six year old from the nearby houses was bravely hiding behind a rock a fair way off trying to see what I was doing. Could obscure my doings well enough and hid the cache well again in case he was gone have a look later.

Thank you Darzee Di for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Third day in a row picking up a closer to home Darzee Di cache, they have proven to be very convenient. Located quickly, signed and replaced. Thanks for the placements

This one was a little tricker plus GPS was all over the place, but eventually had it...

Found whilst out hunting jewels for the museum challenge with Legocacher. Great container and nice spot amongst the suburbs. TFTC

Found with Chakram for another Mystery at the Museum event cache. This one is quite cute and a favorite point from me. The log is quite damp though. TFTC

Found an Australian Marsupial hiding in the hilltop at 4.30 pm.
Signed the log sheet which is a bit damp but signable and did the rehide.
Signed at 4.30 pm Tuesday.
Many thanks to DarzeeDi.

After a lovely birthday lunch for a friend I popped up here for a nff on this cute little cache. Log was wet and getting mouldy, but unfortunately didn’t have time to pause and dry it out. Thanks for the cache.

Finish visit friends house.. drive around to Casey find few caches.. thanks

With BomEm on a caching walk.
Tricky little hide considering the amount of potential hiding spots.
Log was very wet.
Bonem did her best to dry the log in the sun and breeze.
Thanks for bringing us out this way.
TFTC

Another really good hide in the series. Found with Lpud on a walk around the hood. TFTC

So many places to check but after turning over every rock I think....I found it

Out enjoying the first days of summer. It took turning a few things over until at last the little cute critter peered out at me. Cache container was found in good condition... the log a little water effected but ok. Tftc

Thank goodness I bought the boys with me. After my phone bounced around a bit it finally settled on gz. And about 10 seconds after I had searched ( very poorly it turns out ) a likely spot the geoson triumphantly cried out "found it" and held it aloft right next to where I'd just looked. Some locals have made some pretty cool swings since we were last here on a cold cold July day. Much nicer at this time of year to come out after dinner. Tftc and your great series. The cache was not the critter I was expecting but very cool.

Found this little guy with the geodog. Didn't have a pen on me today! Thanks for the cache!

After going to the GIFF event in Goulburn with the CO of this cache, I thought it was only fitting that before I went home, I stopped and found a couple of her nearby caches
TFTC - parked under some shade and came and found this one first, then walked down to the other one nearby ...

1st one found sunny spring morning. Tffc!

Tftc. Quick find. Great hide.

Once again, I had left it until 11pm to go out and collect my daily cache (day 135). There were roos out and about on the roads on the way over and more roos here as well. I parked away from gz and walked over to try and not be as obvious. I was quite conscious of my bright torch flashing about in the bush here with houses nearby overlooking the area. Hopefully most people were asleep but I tried to be as discrete as I could. This one took a little bit to find but eventually I spotted it. A quick sign and the job was done. TFTC

An easy find after a frustrating arvo 4 DNF's before this one. Thanks Darzee Di

New log booked in container now. Cheers Darzee Di

Tftc no.19 no log book but very cute

Will go out and replace log book this afternoon for people to sign later today. Cheers Darzee Di

Found it. Love this series. Paper needs to be replaced l

Great hide and camp. Thanks Darzee Di

Another cute and elusive critter, he have been lucky enough to spot a couple in the wild - before that we thought they were just mythical!
TFTC

Cute little fella!

TFTC!

Cheers

We didn’t have a pen, but great hide and great series! My 6yr old son found it.

Will come back to look for the critter in a warmer day.

Found it. He’s a happy chappie.

A new perspective (aka another cacher) helped on this one TFTC

Delightful series, ta.

That was tricky, found the little critter though

Not having much time today to do any exercise, I jumped on the bike and took advantage of the quietness that is any long holiday in Canberra!

Arrived at GZ, and hoped that the kids fort didn't include a cache! Fortunately it doesn't, and it's snuggled away reasonably well

2nd one of the 3 in this series down, 1 more to go!

TFTC DD!

F(H)ound It! #2455 @ 1:45 PM

As I was doing the caching circle dance some folks across the road were bouncing on a trampoline. I was stealthy in short bursts - coinciding with their bounces. There was a lot of evidence that the area was used quite a bit by the local kids and so I knew if it was there, it would need to be well hidden. Sweet little fella soon made himself known to me.
Thanks for the cache Darzee Di

#152. Bit of caching while in Canberra. TFTC

Took a while but finally spotted the little critter! TFTC!

Cache number two for our walk and another nice container. This took a bit more searching to find than the last one. Liking your choice of GZs. Thanks Darzee Di

Had a good look but could not find, may be missing. Great spot for the locals.

Took advantage of the cooler day to do a spot of local caching

Next little critter for me to clean up was this one. Parked nearby then wandered up to start the search. Found the little fella safely tucked away in his little hidey hole!

Thanks for the hide, Darzee Di

Excited about finding Darzee Di’s Crazy Critters, but this one had me searching for quite some time before I had the critter in hand. TFTC!!
