Thought we knew were it was but literally nearly stepped on a snake!!!! So we will leave this one!

Aborted our attempt as one of the goekids almost stepped on a Red-bellied Black Snake

Thanks to the description and hint, we had the cage in hand quickly with no passers by!TFTC.

Unreal cache

Found it and met a fellow geocacher at same time thanks for the find

Thanks for cashe

Tftc drobbonz ?? took a while but saw the fake?? signed and replaced ?? very clever??

Found after visiting our first winery in the area. We love Orange. Cheers!

We missed this one on our way out on the series and had put it down as a 'needle in a haystack', recording a DNF. But on the way back we had a second look, and there it was. The coordinates were perfect, and it certainly blends in well with its surroundings if you are not looking really carefully.A favourite from us for some great camo.Our first full day in Orange, and a chance to do some serious caching. We had quite a number of pre-solved caches on our agenda as well as others in the area.Our journey took us through a range of different sections of the town; residential, business, retail and some great parks and wetlands areas. We encountered some good hides which we awarded favorites as well as some challenges and straightforward finds.The weather was perfect but as usual got cold all of a sudden later in the day.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache drobbonz.**SKI Pair****

Couldnt find it we focused on the bush area so not sure if we are way off

DNF

One of our harder find but got it in the end

Knew what to look for but too difficult for us.

Tftc!

Grass very long and we didnt fancy the idea of snakes and other creepycrawlies.As a result recorded this as a did not find.

Checked the cache today. Its still in place. Be careful of snakes as the grass is very long at the moment.

Had a quick look through the bushes but gave up after a short while.

After many finds in the last couple of days no luck on this one.

Tftc followed the geotrailto gz and geo hubby made a quick find.

After approximately 6kms of walking I have finished all of the wetlands walk caches. With saving the best to last. This is very inventive. I unfortunately snapped the top when I picked it up, but Managed to pull some of the old top out all whilst my hands were getting covered by black ant's (the little harmless ones). I replaced the top with something suitable and place it back in its spot. This trail has some exceptional hides, it's hats off to you Drobbonz. Multiple fav points awarded.

very clever , Suzie- wong was onto it quickly. TFTC

Whoa! Nice one. Gets another fav. We were out with the CO, EllenWA and kiwisteve2.
As this is their first day caching and I knew what we were looking for we let EllenWA lead the charge.
They have eagle eyes and found it quickly.
Nicely done.

Found on Father’s Day on a day in Orange.

Cache has been fixed. You can find the log attached, close to the bottom. Lift it out. Please replace carefully. I hope you like it. Happy caching!

Found it - really cool cache! - couldn’t sign though bc the paper was wedged in here well. Maybe need a paper lip of something to lever it out.

Once a GZ I thought I knew what the hide would be but it alluded be I widened my search significantly and then finally spotted as I worked my way back to GZ. The top part of the cache was missing and I failed to locate it near GZ, Found a similar cache in Geelong many years ago.

Thanks drobbonz for the creative hide and challenging hide.

After a DNF at #4, I took a wander along the trail to this one, and from the description and logs, expected to be in for a bit of a search. Didn’t want to trust where the GPS was taking me, but after eliminating a couple of other potential spots, I headed in to GZ and took a look around. After about 4-5 mins, I spotted what looked like the cache, but minus some camo I feel. Quickly signed the log before some muggle walkers came by.

Nice and wet

Great hide

I loved this cache! How creative. I think I stumbled across a bit of luck here in all honesty, it was camouflaged very well and I haven't seen anything like this before. Tftc!

Tftc. Top hide, well spotted by Mrs Jaybeem.

Had a few hours to wait so decided to take a long walk and find a few caches.

Took a bit to spot it. Very wet at GZ and ended up with wet feet.

That’s very clever

Took a while to see this one - walked straight past it first. TFTC drobbonz

Clever hide. Hard to spot. TFTC

Great to see such a thoughtful approach to creating interesting hides. Definitely worth a favourite point. Thanks drobbonz

Following the track around the wetlands, quickly found. Thanks for the cache

Lol such a clever hide. Loved it. Tftc.

A stylish cache. Had to open it carefully. Fortunately, we always carry tweezers. Logsheet seems to have been shortened. One side is already full after only 4 finds. A FP. TFTC drobbonz

Quickly found. Signed and replaced. Tftc

Found after meandering into the wetlands. Great work. Gets a favourite point from us.

FTF. Very very cool!!
