Ready to be found again. If this cache goes missing again, I will most likely archive this cache.

Unfortunately despite our best efforts today we were unable to locate your your cache even with a previous finder with us . We will be back.

Seems to have gotten missing again. Probably going to change the location of this cache.

I must have searched close to an hour with sweat dripping into my eyes but no sign of the cache. Ill have to return with back up.

This one took ages to find . I would definitely say this was a micro not a small TFTC

Read the C0s extra hint in their log and made a quick find. TFTC BIY7

Had a go but got rained out. The purple swamp hens were not too impressed, I suspect they are nesting. Were gently trying to encourage me away though not too aggressively!

Regrettably, my search for the cache yielded no success today. It's now on my checklist, and I'm determined to give it another shot in the near future.Hopefully, next time, I'll uncover the elusive prize waiting to be claimed. Until then, the hunt continues!Got about 20 minutes of hunting in, joined by Axel & Leega about halfway through before we too left due to rain. Will try and stop pats on my way home from the city.

Just checked on it and it is still there.Here is another hint of you need it:It is on the EDGE of the reeds and grass. It is NOT DEEP in the REEDS.

Even with CO advising no need to step off grass this cache eluded me.

rechecking cache

{*FTF*} @ 12:49 with TenBucks.Full log to follow.Thanks go to junien for placing and maintaining the Traditional cache Why can't I grow? for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 12:49 on 4/10/2024.This is find number 9403 for me.

I tried this cache a little earlier today as many others with no luck. I left with Leg5 and completed a cache nearby. As I drove back past this one I noticed a familiar face so I stopped in for another look. Cirrus_WA and I looked all around but we came up short again. As we were walking away we spotted it about 7 metres from GZ by my device. Nice clean log found so we were happy with the FTF at 12:48 Thank you to BIY7/Junien for placing this cache, I look forward to seeing more from you.

The cache is still there, it is about 3-5 metres from the footpath.

Out and about again, came out earlier and joined by Ten Bucks. We were having no joy. CO was going to do a check, once the green light was on again FTF was gone. Its was a nice walk from home to this cache - weather was nice and fine for the first time in a couple of days.This cache is find number - 16762.Thanks to BIY7 for the caches I have found.
