Came back with some tools get revenge the DNF, log is well full and needs tending too.
Found with my4monkeys and gabby2402 but couldn't sign log as its full, per other logs and requests for maintenance. Clever hide. Tftc
Please another hint on this one. I poked and prodded everywhere possible. Help a girl out
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12731.
I must have gotten lucky on this one as I found it within the first 5 minutes. Luckily I had my tweezers on me. The log on this one is full and I signed over other names.
Thanks 3Woodyz for the cache.

Tricky little bugger! Having found it, we then had to get it out! Log is over full. Best to approach this one from the East – there are lots of holes along the fence to the west. TFTC
Ok third time's the charm!!! finally found this little bugger on attempt number 3. Log is in bad shape and desperately needs replacing but very pleased with myself for finally locating this one. Great hide TFTC.
Yes! DNF revenge!
After our non find yesterday, I seeked some intel and realised I simply hadn't tried hard enough. I brought a tool along but didn't need it as my super powers worked and it was CIH. Unfortunately the log is full, but I scrawled our initials on it and replaced as found.
An excellent hide and camo that completely fooled me the firsttime. Have a FP. TFTC

I had a good search and touched all the options I thought it could be but came away empty handed.
The grass is along but a clever hide once you get to the location. Really cool!
After two DNFs must have been luck of the Irish for the find, hint is spot on, log full so didn't sign TFTC.
We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
This was just too good for us to day. Still wondering what the hide was.
Thanks

Mr Minion and I decided on a last minute caching day today. The weather was brilliant and we had a great day with only 1 dnf. We parked and walked across the oval to get to this one, With no muggles around on a sunday morning . We found the hint item quickly and set to searching, walking around in circles, looking at images and reading past logs when I noticed something a little different very clever indeed. Thanks for the cache 3 Woodyz tnln replaced as found sl
Found today while out on a cache drive with my dad, found 5 caches all up and no DNFs, really nice spot for this one! Tricky hide for this one, it took a decent amount of time to find after we rechecked some of the spots we already checked... FP for the cool container

It was cold and wet at home, so we went geocaching in Maitland, where it was colder and wetter!
We came in the back way through the bush (that is some thick long grass!) and found the hint object, thanks to the hint. Tried all the usual spots, a few more, checked photos, tried some more.... was about to phone a friend when I went back and retried the first thing I checked, and there it was. A great hide - thanks.... the log sheet is completely full now.....

I approached GZ from the car park across the playing field, which was a big mistake as what looked solid was actually a quagmire. I reached GZ and soon had the cache but it would not open, so had to take it back to the car to get the log out. With that done and the log signed I then had to trek over and back again. Thanks for an excellent hide, I really liked the work put into hiding this cache, well done.
Sneaky hide, but the difference was the difference in finding it or not. Well played. TFTC.
TFTC. A reasonably quick find after standing and thinking for a while. A group of preschool kids came over to see what I was doing. They told me to be careful of the wolf as it might eat me. I had my walking stick so I was safe. They were happy about that. When they went back to their game I found the cache.
The log is full. I managed a T9 at the end but no date.

Loved this one. Found quickly by Mr Shifter. We have seen a few like this before, but not quite the same.
Thanks for the hide 3Woodyz.

Found with nellc after the rain stopped and luckily it held off long enough to walk to GZ and find the cache. Found easily enough once GZ was reached.

A quick find with Steam koala. The rain held off long enough to go out for a cache or two.
Little Miss Rat and I spent about 15 minutes hunting around GZ for this one, with no luck.
We did find a lot of Farmers Friends.
A LOT of Farmers Friends.
Really, there were a lot, and they were soooo friendly we spent most of the 15 minutes trying to pull them off clothes and skin.
Did I mention there were a lot of Farmers Friends?
We will be back.
With a flame thrower.

Great hide . Well done for your first cache will be looking for your next one. Warrants a fav point. Thanks 3Woodyz for this one.
A great find. Lucky we brought our kids with little fingers. Signed the log as best as we could. TFTC
Find No: 8157. Needing a find today towards the 3rd completion of our 366 day matrix, Mrs Grub Fred & I headed up this way from Adamstown, another cklever hide, also getsa favorite, thanks for the cache 3Woodyz!!
Found with shaneo58 doing some around the Maitland Area, Getting a late start due to an appiontment, getting very windy during the day with a bit of a chill factor. Got to GZ quickly but were stumped at where to look, then shaneo made the discovery, what a neat little hide. This is the 4th cache of 12 for today. Log signed and cache replaced as found. Thanks For The Cache 3Woodyz

Had my eye on this since it was published, but hadn't found time to get out here.
I must say that when I got to GZ I kept thinking there really wasn't many places for this to hide and got a little confused.
I'm going to call it a fluke, but bizarrely I had my hands on the prize in no time at all.
For this being your first hide 3Woodyz I am really impressed.
TFTC.
FP for your efforts

Pretty happy to find this one so quickly. It really could have been hard. TFTC
What a cool cache idea, don’t know how you done it but I can’t see it ever getting muggled.
Spent 10min looking with no luck and ended up messaging the CO for an extra hint. Turns out i was looking in the right spot before but just didn’t look hard enough.
It was a relief to finally find it.

WOW thanks for a sneaky cache really love the hid always thought of doing this but never found the spot, well done, out with Aussieben, fav from me
a well hidden cache, Congratulations on hiding your first cache. Found out caching with kingfisher-au. Well worth a favorite point.
Very clever hide, great idea TFTC. Fav from me. Just sorry I could not write smaller
A surprisingly quick find after some of the struggles of others. My six year old grabbed it in seconds - got lucky I think as it’s a clever hide and deserving of an FP from us for a fun little stroll as we head off to dinner. TNLN TFTC
We managed to find this one at night, what a clever cache! We loved it. TFTC!
catching up on very late logging. found with banj5150 , may be signed as beary_unicorns or thusbruv_sqrd due to username changes. tftc

Well this was a little beauty!
I was out with the geofamily grabbing just a couple of finds today. EzzaV had just joined up and wanted to try a hunt on her own, with the kids. We arrived at GZ and began the search. Hmmmm..... this was going to be a tricky one! MagicMan* tried some spots and soon found something not quite right for this location. Bingo!! cache found!
Later, while on another cache hunt, we met up with the CO. The family had been watching us as we searched for this one. That's funny! A bit of discussion led me to further understand that this cache wasn't just placed here. Some effort to create the hide went into it.
So, for the fun, the sneaky way the cache is hidden and for the effort to create the hiding spot.... a Favourite Point is awarded.
Well done 3Woodyz and welcome to Geocaching.
Cheers, Calypso62

Today I went to find Shamrock Hill Park cache and I went with Calypso62 (my Pop), Ezza V (Mum) and MagicMan* (my brother). It was fun going through the bush and using the gps to find where to go. At first we couldn't see it at all but then my little brother found it!

FOUND it. Nice easy find.
It took me longer to get the paper in and out than it took me to find it.
Thanks 3 woodyz. Great cache.
