No luck here either. Looked where the GPS led me and to any other obvious hiding spots around but not to be. Will email you offline with where I looked.

Cheers

After Richary's visit today I just went for a quick trip to Hahndorf to check it out.
It is definitely not there and I couldn't see evidence of it anywhere around.
The pieces of wood used for disguise are on the ground.
This one has a history of Muggledome.

Taking it offline while I consider if it is worthwhile to restore it.

Sorry Alex but we couldn't find it. We note from earlier logs that it went missing before. Perhaps it has gone again. Anyway, we still enjoyed visiting the building although it was cold and wet and windy. Thank Alex

Found in a jig. Co-ordinates were slightly out. I had a feel of Uni's spider webs first try. I reckon this could be a windy spot on the wrong day.

As we approached Scotty asked "How do we get through to it as it is on the other side of the gate?"
"Open it"

I nearly had to engage 4x4 for this cache (well…..). The big branch across the track spoilt all the fun. I took the leaky tape and left a staple remover. Thanx Alex for this spot. Watergate overtones?? Clear skies, Astro.

Haven't been out here since I was a kid!
Left a skateboard, took an eraser.

Pity restoration project hasn't been completed.
Nice to see places like this, I live locally and had never been up here.

Thanks!
Left magnet, took cards.

Decided to go caching on this nice sunny day - unfortunately it was still 10 degrees up in the hills. We found this area interesting and an easy find. Thanks Alex. Took padlock and left playing cards.
 
14-Aug-04
Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Drove past here just the other day on my way to some other caches in the area. Always the way. So we just had to go for another nice drive and lunch in Hahndorf (again Wink)
Thanks Alex.

The cache has been replaced, but not quite the same position.
 
23-Sep-03
From discussions with Unicycle it seems this one has gone walkabout. So I'll put it offline until I can replace it.

Looked high and low, inside and out. Even reached blindly up inside the post by the gate (shudder), but no luck.

Found by Mary & David at 1815. How sad to see this place looking so run down. We remember how it was in '75 or '76 when we lived in Adelaide. Took shaker lids, left stick notes. The cache container is split along one edge, but is secure and dry. Thanks again to Alex for another interesting location.

Found after a little searching, read the clue but didn't see the obvious connection for a few minutes Red Face Took soap, left a carabiner watch. Also took TB BackaBerk to continue his journey.
Love the new karma cards - saw a few today in various caches out this way, hopefully they'll have the desired effect?!

Thought I'd better do this one on my way to Littlehampton. I hope they get the restoration work going again. It would be a pitty to see it deteriorate much more. Took nothing, left nothing.

Found by Barry and Beryl and Frank at 11.30 am
Good hiding place, the clue was useful and we found it quickly, thank goodness as there was a very cool teeth chattering breeze there today.
Took Magnetic bits and glitter shaker
Left Street Machine 4WD car and Blowing Bubbles
Thanks Alex

Want a virgin busted, call in the Pig..
Found easily, great clues. Took All american bear to traverse a bit further, no swaps left after a few earlier caches SadDrained me out of them.
The old things looking a lot sadder than last time I visited. Thanks Alex.

Found at 1838 by Gwen & David, but ..... we were Pipped at the Post by a Pig Red Face We were on the way to a meeting at Littlehampton and thought we'd check this one out. Remember this place after it was restored, pity that things have to revert back to rack and ruin.

We took some valve caps for the Jeckylmobile and left some shaker lids used to convert film canisters into salt & pepper shakers.

Thanks Alex.
