DNF for me the second visit and cant find it

Didn’t read logs first but makes sense

This needs checking. Four DNFs. If it's in a hole under a boulder, it's missing.

Possibly stolen. 3 in 4 DNF. Will check. If cache removed will replace and re-drop in the vicinity but off major foot traffic areas. Too many single digit muggles in the area.

Clever hint. Plethora angry red backs dissuaded closer investigation.

First visit to look for this one. DNF sadly

No rocks to roll

At where my GPS took me was a small boulder and an empty hole dug in the ground beside it. I expanded the search, but a DNF.

Out with geodad Froggycache for this one he'd found previously. It was a particularly wet day and very close to the local's houses, and although dad had found this a few years ago nothing jumped out at him.

Cool spot to hide it thanks

More to come.

Great to finally be able to find this nemesis DNF on my map! I was surprised to see it enabled once more the other day, so put it on my list to do ASAP!

Thanks for the cache, 9 months unloved too! Not bad

Cache checked, updated and dropped at cachecoordinates - Cache had strated from original location.

Cache was collected in person today, a distance from GZ. Cache in perfect condition, will drop and relog on the weekend.

If the coords are correct, then sorry, could not find at that tree. Tried checking others, but needle in haystack stuff. Kids disappointed.

Last found in July 2020. Needs checking, as it's only rated 1.5D and that should be easy to find. I also read a comment that the coordinates are out.

What’s up with the clue

I went to where the coordinates took me; beside the fence. The dog on the other side (and another dog further away) went ballistic, barking furiously. I thought that was too close to someone's fence to place a cache there. I read previous logs, and read that the coordinates were out. Some finders mentioned the cache was hidden by a tree, and also the colour blue. So I went from tree to tree about the area searching. I couldn't find the cache or see the colour blue. The most likely hide I found was in the middle of a three trunked tree at S 35° 09.756 E 149° 05.673, about nine metres from GZ. But it was empty. DNF .

Luckily this one was easy to spot. TFTC

Found ok TFTC

Thank you

Yeah a bit far away

GPS has us 22m +-6m from the gz when we found it, but some earlier logs helped identify some useful landmarks ka - to hanks SA crew. TFTC

Took a while

After beeing stuck inside all day doing house work it was time to enjoy the beautiful weather before it got dark so went for caching mission in Gungahlin.

Quick enough find after searching all trees in a 15m radius.Luckly I could read the hint as it was showing up re-encrypted, but that would not have been helpful I think. Cache is in good condition.

Thank you madfinn10, Danmanator for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

A nice quick find on an afternoon walk. TFTC

Easy find . Nice encryption.

Out with Duckeedoo this afternoon trying to pick up a few caches in an area we haven’t really explored before. Co-ords were slightly off but looked elsewhere and found it!

Found

No luck today, although was slightly put off by the barking dog, the comments about the innacurate coords/hint, and then the Dad and Son who came over with a chainsaw....! Don't worry, they were just clearing away some shrub at the back of their fence! But that was my call to leave. Maybe next time

Out with GLISS! and Countrykittykat for an evening cache. Took some scouting around as it was further away than we expected. But we got there in the end! Thanks for the cache.

Found with awesome friends

Found with Nibletricecakes and CountryKittyCat. Found about 14m out at a tree that did not match the hint. Nontheless, it was a quick find with the 3 of us. TFTC.

On the Garmin, in the field the hint reads as, "Uvag Bar - Nf byq zngr Qhxr Ryyvatgba fnvq, Vg qbag zrna n guvat vs vg nvag tbg gung fjvat.Uvag Gjb - "N ebyyvat fgbar tnguref ab zbff".
And there is no way to unencrypt that in the field ! Useless!!

GPS on the hill went wild but we found it TFTC

Over from Adelaide to see the inlaws celebrate Cachemas day in a few days time. Found under rock....

tucked between a tree thanks

Tftc. Gps bounced around a bit but we found it eventually

Quick find. All in good order.
Greetings from Scotland & T4TC

Feeling the need for an after work cache and a trip to Aldi I managed to fairly successful combine the two with a trip to Casey (this suburb is Casey, right?).

On my first pass I failed to get a reasonable location from my silly phone GPS and the dog was barking a fair bit. I continued down the path to get a little exercise and then returned, trying to be stealthy and quiet. That is not entirely possible in this crunchy location, though the dog wasn't overly demonstrative in its barking. I found the cache easily and managed to exit the area without causing too much disturbance. TFTC

19,175. Found during a birthday meander cherry picking caches around Gungahlin with GSC2000.

It was nice and quiet in the suburbs we visited today - except for here when the damn dogs went off ! This one we parked nearby and wandered over for a nice quick find. Signed the log, returned the cache, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks madfinn10 and Danmanator !!

A nice quick find

TFTC

TFTC!

First find of the morning. Tftc!

Needed a cache to keep the promo streak in tack, and seen this one close to home so swung past on the way from work. There is a local 4 legged resident who doesn't enjoy the passerbyers. Spotted something away from the GZ coordinates and fortunately for me, it was the cache. Signed and replaced and I was on my way. Thanks for the cache placement madfinn10 and Danmanator

Day 3 of Streak Week. It was a much colder night than last night to be out and about and the fog was just starting to descend. A short walk up the green strip from where I parked on the main road. A few locals (roos) watched me as I passed. The cache was a quick find. I almost got it and replaced it before the barking dog knew I was there. TFTC

Not a great cache to do in the early morning due to the barking dog nearby so tried to think quickly. Soon found. Nicely camo-Ed. Tftc.

Spotted some blue that turned out to be the cache. Left covered in green ink from a stamp that had leaked

At first I was barking up the wrong tree, but after a while I could still locate the cache. Blends in well, thanks for hiding!

Found

Got it

Found with TrodectusTFTC

Found with Decrypter. We were out for a walk getting exercise and we had this one as our goal. Once at GZ we started searching and soon spotted the hide. Log signed and all replaced and we headed back to the car, stopping at the shops to get something for afternoon tea. All that good work gone in just a few mouthfuls! TFTC.

Found log to follow

#5290 Out with my usual geo-partner CBRChic. Today was our first designated "Mystery at the Museum" work-day and it was quite a successful one. The forecast was not great with showers after 3pm that did not eventuate, but it certainly turned cold with a bitter breeze.

A quick park and grab here.

Thanks madfinn10

Nice to see these bush areas preserved. Cache found quickly and all OK.

Thanks,

A quick find in a great spot - a mix of nature on one side and suburbia on the other - but quite exposed to the nearby houses.

TFTC madfinn10 and Danmanator

1/6 today

Headed up the hill, and as I was about to begin my search, I got a PAF from LPUD - looking for the mad hatters cache not far away. He told me where to look and I told him where to look for his cache. Reverse PAF FTW!

TFTC MF10 & DM!

#9176 - 9:19:00 AM; A brisk autumn morning after a bleak day yesterday gave me the chance to grab a few of the newer local caches before I headed to work. Second stop for the morning and with a wandering GPSr, probably took a little longer to locate the cache than usual. Checked a couple of options before producing the goods and adding my name to the log. TFTC madfinn10

As the rain stopped and the clouds parted, the sun came out, but the wind also started up and the afternoon was very chilly outside indeed! So anyway that didn't stop me sending a quick message to Tankengine to see if he was up to grab a couple of caches we had discussed doing last week, but didn't get a chance. Thanks TE for another productive and fun afternoon, full of freezing adventures!

Luckily we saw the cache as we were about to walk past it to another tree. Took the TB that was inside. Tftc madfinn10, Danmanator!!!

Woke up today, totally not realising it was a public holiday! I did eventually figure it out, but the weather was SO COLD, rainy and miserable, I decided to stay under the doona… When eventually up, I decided I didn’t want to go out, and sat down in the warm house to solve some puzzles instead.

A tad after lunch, the weather was on the improve… Well, sort of. It was still freezing cold, and windy, but the sun was trying to poke through. – It was about then I received a text asking if I would like to come out for a few caches… Sure I would! Indeed, I already had a list of unfound Northside caches prepared! So dty73 and I joined forces for an afternoon geocaching adventure! And what an adventure it turned out to be!

This cache was a nice quick find. And then it was quickly back into the nice warm car. Thanks for the cache MF/DM, and thanks for your company dty73 – you helped warm up my otherwise freezing cold afternoon!

Parked nearby and a short walk for a quick find. TFTC.

Found it.. thanks

After a hectic morning shopping in preparation for my trip North, I decided to get a cache nearby to my last stop. I went around in circles a bit before I saw what was far to obvious to have taken that long and was soon on my way.

Thanks.

First find of four I need for today. Going to be a rush to find them all and get to work on time! Once I weaved through the streets it was a fairly close park, with the neighbourhood dogs either side of the street barking a short walk to GZ. A beautiful sunny day and nice to be outside, cache was soon spotted and logging complete, thanks for the cache!

Off for an after work, evening geomission to get out and get moving and to make some muggle free finds!

Attempted this one several days ago but I walked away due to the dog barking. Tonight I swung by to try again and the dog wasn't there and the cache was found nice and quick [^]

Thanks for the hide, madfinn10

I found it in spite of the hint. Haha. Tftc

With BomEm on a Mtb and caching ride.
Nice and easy find.
Liked the camo
TFTC

Found on a ride around the burbs with Lpud. Easy enough to find. TFTC

An after work caching excursion with AngelG27 to build up our 1 May finds totals. This was our first stop. The cache was soon found by AngelG27. TFTC.

Cache 5031 on 1 May 2019.

Today TikvaNZ and I decided to grab a few caches after work, so we were super organised and I driver my car to work so we would maximise daylight before we had to call it a night. We headed out to Gungahlin to clean up a few caches that have popped up on our map in recent times. We scored 8/9 caches that we looked for, the one DNF we figured we would not find anyway. Most were easy finds. Had to contend with a few muggles and had to avoid one cache in a playground which was busy.

This cache: lots of crunchy bark under our feet for this one.

Thanks madfinn10, Danmanator for the cache and the fun!

Just one more I said, to myself. A quick find with a yapping dog intent on giving my position away. That mixed with the crunching of the dry bark as I moved about. Believe the yapper is called 'Zeus', at least that's what a neighbour was shouting. TNLNSL TFTC

Try to avoid the barking dog which is tricky .
Found after a brief search .
Nice sized container.
Many thanks for the hide.

Had just gotten home from dinner when I saw this one. Damn was even closer at dinner but none the less decided to run out after it. Arrived at a quiet GZ and we soon had the cache in hand for a joint ftf with Danielle357.
