Can't find it. Me and my friend think someone found it and chucked it somewhere else or stole it

A nice little reserve this. Thanks for the reason to explore it. All good with the hide. A quick find. The vent-like structure nearby (ish) is intriguing but also very remotely placed. I wonder what lies below it.

Out with Fox in Jox and ZQX for a morning of mischief.
Found this one on the way to another cache. Quick find once at the right spot!
Thanks sebass19 for the cache and the fun!

Out with AngelG27 and ZQX. Nice quick find here, once AngelG27 guided me to the right spot!!!
Not been on the this track before, TFTC easy enough pickup and no snakes end of autumn ..
Happy Australia Day
These 4 caches in fisher bush land are quite tough, even though they are close to civilisation. The grass is tall and due to the warm day, it was mainly looking straight ahead, then quickly looking at gps, because this terrain is a breeding ground for snakes.
GZ led me to a tree, so after a look around i spotted the cache. Reach in, reach out and pray for the best. Tftc

#2286 This cache took a bit of blind faith and digging to uncover but finally came up with the goods. Thanks sebass for the cache.
A little hesitant to reach for it but courage was rewarded! On a walk with son, daughter in law and grandaughter. TFTC
After a long week at home working, the opposite of fun, I found a few trips to make over the long weekend. After yesterdays walk around Coolamon Ridge, I felt I should visit some of the ground based caches in the area that the others have already done. The long grass was wet, but I had a nice walk in this paddock before heading back into the suburbs.
Thanks for the cache sebass19

Out for an afternoon walk to escape the madness in the house.
Really pleasant walk in the bush, but a slight hum from the nearby parkway.
Had to check out a couple of loctions before spotting the cache. Nice little spot.
Thanks for the cache, glad the snakes are all hidden away ATM.

Out for a little caching on my two hour window for adventure!
Logs all in good condition unless otherwise noted.
Thanks to Sebass14 for putting out and maintaining all of these caches for our enjoyment!

Signed DSD or Darksidedan or AB or Adventure Boys to Keep my daily finds up. Thanks for the cache and the adventure. Please enjoy the selection of random photos included with this log.
Another quick find, I’m on fire today! Nice little spot and somewhere to sit! Glad there weren’t any snakes here today. TFTC.
Another find for shinydragon. Followed some paths from our last find and once at GZ the cache was soon in hand.
Walked around from the other cache and found this one after a couple of minutes searching in the wrong spot. Tftc!
Went for an extended early morning Easter Sunday run/bike ride this morning, and picked up the three caches in this series while we were at it.
We looked for ages for this one, but with so many possibilities and no sign of it, we decided to give up. Saf had already looked in one of the more obvious spots, and as we were walking back past it, she gave it a dig with a stick, just to be sure, and what do you know? It was hidden under a massive pile of ant sand the whole time! We've replaced it in the same spot, but away from the ant nest, so it should be easier to find next time. TFTC!

Had a good look around but no luck. Nice place for a walk through. Thanks anyway!!
Too good for me today. Gave it what I thought was a goo look, but alas couldn't spot it. Probably still there, just got a bit hot to hang around any longer.....
Thanks anyway sebass14

Nearly stepped on one of these up in Punsand Bay, way, way North where we can't go now - was horrified when a Ranger came out and shot it! When I remonstrated, it was pointed out that they have children coming to stay there but that didn't ease my unease at the action! Anyway, think this cache has been tampered with, was very exposed and sort of discarded among bits of rubbish. Log and treasures still there so replaced it dead on the co-ords - should be safe now. TFTC
With Pebbles training at Stromolo, I had some more time to do a few more caches in this part of town.
Good coords and obvious spot here. All in good order.
Thank you sebass14 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

A great geocache for our first one! More hidden than I though it would be! Lots of fun
Found this one after a couple of unsuccessful attempts. GPS was a bit more stable this time and only took a few minutes. Nice sunny day for venturing out isolation with dog.
Last cache for this morning and another quick find which some interesting camouflage. Thanks sebass14
Hot walk around lunch time in terribly dry scrub. Did not see any animals - not even birds or rabbits. Quick and easy find. Lots of human rubbish lying around - what a shame. TFTC sebass14.
4th and last find for the afternoon while out with [@Goldenwattle](http://coord.info/PR70JXN) and [@Decrypter](http://coord.info/PR75QXD). Once at GZ we soon had CIH. Log signed and all replaced and we made our way back to the cars. No snakes seen on this walk. TFTC.
More good coordinates made another quick find. I left a piece of dolls house furniture; a tiny, side table in this cache. That was the only piece of furniture that would fit. TFTC sebass14.
Decided to grab these 2 snake caches on a impromptu detour while riding home from the bike shop. Found easily, interesting camo. No pen, so had to sign with a stick dipped in chain ring grease! There's actually a larger hole within 2m of the hide if the CO ever wanted to change away from the overly used 200ml sistema...
While out and about doing a bit of maintenance on some of my own hides, decided to ride the bike about this lovely little nature reserve, that I actually have not ventured into before. Found the cache easily enough, hiding in plain sight, but with some interesting bits and pieces around and about helping it to remain unseen. TFTC sebass14
Nice cache! Found it almost immediately, but nicely hidden. Forgot a pencil though, so I couldn’t write in the journal.
Found on a lovely day out caching in the West. It was a lovely walk through a familiar, yet beautiful nature reserve. A quick find at GZ - very clever way to conceal the cache! TNLNSL. TFTC sebass14!
Now I've finished all my mega duties time for a little caching, found after second look, container's all good
It’s now a week into April. I’ve done my logging up until 16th March, and I have no internet pending the arrival of the NBN in a couple of weeks. My modem is broken, and I’m not going to replace it now. So I’m logging to a file, and I’ll upload the logs when I can. It’s been four weeks since I was notified, but I have a date for it now. I’ll see how close they come to it, and see how long it takes them to get it working.
It’s dog walking time. My lady is visiting friends in hospital, and I;ve got a couple of hours to myself. I’ve done some chores, and loaded up my GeoSchnauzers and her GeoCavoodles for a walk in the bush. I’ve picked here because of the cache and the nice walk I anticipate.
I’m sure I’ve had the dogs off-leash here before, but there are alleged stock grazing in here, so I’ve kept them on the string. Didn’t see any today, but a few days later I saw some cattle reasonably close to here. I mostly enjoyed the walk to the cache, marred only by the dogs trying to impale me on trees and bushes. They were unsuccessful in this, but I had a few frustration trying to make them all walk on the same side of the tree.
We got to the cache, and found it, but not the container. I hid the cache (still in its Ziploc bag) under a bit of iron that was lying around. I’ve tried messaging you, with no success. Thanks, sebass14.
Day 266 of my current streak, target 366. Yippee!! Only 100 to go.

I was in this neck of the woods to pick the car up from the mechanic, so made a diversion to pick up a couple of caches in an area I've never visited. TFTC!
Found with Smittengranny after the CITO at Honeysuckle Creek. Very very tired and did this one for the suburb challenge but I don't think its in the boundary. Oh well nice walk to get here and have not been here before. TFTC
As Joolay and i were driving Sebass14 home, he agreed to take us to within striking distance of one of his caches. We could only manage one as we were very weary and footsore, so this was it. He was a true cacher and stood back and watched us approach GZ where Joolay made the find. Our names are now in the log. TFTC Sebass14. Love the hide and thanks for tour company today.
Another cool hide in this lovely part of Canberra. Found cache in good condition. TFTC
It was still quite warm by the time I was able to finish work and find a few caches for the day and these two in this area looked okay. A bit of a walk but nothing to much. It wasn't far from the car and although hot not even close to what it had been through the week. Was nice to head out for a walk, didn't have to go far to work up a sweat today either!
With a breeze and the occasional bit of shade as I passed under the trees it was still a nice walk though, plenty of fences about but easy enough to get through and the few cows in the area all laying down in the shade. Had read a few logs previously so was expecting something different, perhaps it helped as the cache was quickly located and then the short walk back to the car along the track. Thanks for the cache sebass14.

An enjoyable short walk to the GZ on another hot day I appreciate that as I was still wearing work clothes not ideal for a walk through this surprising bushland I never knew it was here. Thank you I look forward to the rest of your series
Enjoying a day to ourselves, fitzy_1965 and I headed into Canberra for a bit of caching before an early evening event.
Fitzy_1965 made a quick find whilst my GPS had me in totally the wrong direction.

17,426. Found during an afternoon run around Canberra before this evening's event.
Being kid free today we headed into the big smoke for a few more caches. Parked in a familiar spot to walk in for this one. Always happy NOT to see any of the cache's namesakes ! Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and then headed off to the next one.
Thanks sebass14 !! Had to avoid a friendy cow on the walk out.
TNLN - TFTC !!

This was an awesome hide, totally unexpected and I am lucky I found it as quickly as I did. Took TB, will take to Bali next week. Favourite from me
Found this one a while ago, but I've only got around to logging it now. This was my first find after a very long break and I've got to say I love this cache. The bush area is one of my favourite places in Canberra and the hiding spot was fantastic.
My second find for 2019 and the second of this series. Looking forward to finding the other 12. TFTC
AHAHA what a brilliant little hide, honestly did not expect that whatsoever and you managed to completely trick a seasoned cacher! I feel quite silly that this took me about 5-10 minutes to find! I was looking everywhere I could possibly think and even extending my search radius. So many spots to look and pieces of potential camo lying wet on the ground after the recent rains. Eventually I spotted the right cammo I was looking for and there was the cache! Made it much harder than it should have been!
Thanks sebass14 for giving me a bit of a laugh

After dropping the jalopy at Phillip for its annual check-up, I sought out a few geocaches to enliven the walk home. This was a straightforward find, right on the coordinates, once I decided to stop looking for a natural hide. I am relieved that there was no death adder in residence. Did you know that the envenomating strike of the death adder is so fast that human eyes don’t notice the movement? Thank you sebass14 for installing and maintaining this cache.
#8804 - 13:20; Dropped the geohoney for some retail therapy and headed off to grab some nearby caches. After rectifying a previous DNF, I made my way over to grab this cache and another nearby. Parked the geomobile and made my way over to GZ. Overlooked the obvious to start with, but soon returned to make the find. Dropped a TB to continue its travels too. TFTC sebass14
Didn't have to investigate all the little hiding places fortunately and was soon signing the log. TFTC sebass14
Had time today for a bit of a walk after work, rather than a drive by, so I decided to come down here and grab one or both of these ... seeing they are so close to my current workplace, and one of my caches
I had never been here before, another interesting place I have been brought to by Geocaching
TFTC - came to look for this one first, interesting collection of stuff lying around on the ground ... and I wasn't expecting to find the cache ... there ... lol

Took the missus for a short bike ride around Weston Creek for a few geocaches. TFTC.
Found with The Matetrix by torchlight after training. Parked streetside following the path and trails in. Grass not too long on the way out, yet, then a bit of a look around, Found it without issue after a few minutes. Hope this one lasts longer than I think it will, just a little exposed. TNLNSL TFTC
