As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Oops! Should have checked the website before going hunting for this one with Team Sparkie; we were working off some info they'd printed out about a month ago. At least now I know why we weren't able to find it!
Visited this one with Parrots - found the likely spot which Parrots confirmed used to be where it was - and it wasn't.
Gone again.
Thanks anyway!

Ground Zero never consistently stayed in one spot, but I searched the surrounding 20m or so for some time. Checked all the obvious and most of what I considered non-obvious ones, but no luck. In the end, had to abandon it if I was to be home in time for tea
The sat lock in this area sure was bad. Looked in the obvious spots but of course it wasn't there. Found eventually and gathered a few spider web's along the way. Took giant ant and left toy car. Cheers.
Attempted this cache earlier in the afternoon, but the satellite gods did not favour us at that time - only ~30m accuracy. [xx(] After spending some time at a cafe in Blackwood and then completing 'Blackwood's Boolean Bits', we returned and found it in no time. Thanks Team Langy. TNLN
Went on a tour around side streets looking for this one.
Finally found an entry point and soon had cache in hand.
Swapped out a snake for a butterfly.

An easy find on the way home from work, in between phone calls from work
The cache had only been left still for an hour since the last find.
As i wasnt concentrating properly, i forgot to get something out of the car to leave, so i TNLNSL.

Fairly easy find on the way back from getting the Geosniffer's food. Took eyball glasses and left a wierd wabbit.
Finally replaced - in a more stealthy container!

We concur Team Langy - Been Muggled.
Our GPS said there was one here, so we went in to check it out but it wasn't to be found despite a four person search party. Of course now we're home I see it's been taken offline. Thanks for showing us the pretty flowers though.

Was visiting Team Langy for the evening and they weren't home yet, so we went for what was meant to be a short walk, and would've been if I knew the neighbourhood better. Eventually found it with some help. What a great place on a cold winters afternoon!
Quick trip to visit and drop off Key to the Door - part of Unlock the Mystery cache.
Just a quick one while in the area. Took the padlock and left Tasmanian seed packets. The picture clue was the giveaway for the parking but it could have been approached from a different road.
Found by Mary & David at 1540. A mysterious secret world. Very different with hawthorn and nasturtium ground cover. Took the GPSr about three ntries to point the right way. Took fat fish, left fat ceramic dragon. Our thanks to Team Langy.
Flying visit with the kids. Noticed the GPS showing it whilst driving by on the main road in the morning, went back a few hours later. Initially went into weird lane-land until we escaped and got closer driving around the block. Took nothing and left big fish cuddly toy.
Found by Team GeoCoopers.
An afternoon free and out for a drive. I decided to go grab this cache even though is was drizzling. Found it, logged it, and back in the car before getting too wet.
Thanks Langy.

Found it on a Saturday afternoon of caching. Perfect day, great weather, what more could you ask for! Having entered from the top we scratched around GZ for a little while, not noticing any obvious tracks. Stumbled on a well worn path and quickly found it. Took fish straw (and the Russ TB), left lock and key set. Thanks Team Langy, Cheers Rav4Raiders
This cache was very close to where I lived for a while, and the steep roads remind me of the speed I could get out of my bike. The spines made the task harder but it wasn't too hard in the end. Left TB Russ.
Ah, a nice easy spot.
This time of year there are not many leaves on the bushes & the rock hiding the cache is quite visible, though the cache is not.
Nice hide in "suburbia".
Cooeee off I rode.

Found after circling the bushes twice. Eventually we worked up the courage to battle the thorny bits.
Not many sats for a lock this morning. Careful checking of the location soon revealed the hidey hole.
Thanks guys. Nice one.

Team Raider (Mike) with my caching companion for the day (Paul from Team Stargazer) decided to re-try this cache after an unsuccessful run the night before.
Saturdays 11.30pm to 12.55am night run for this one proved to be a must frustrating search.[8]
We looked *everywhere* but with the proliferation of spiderwebs and those darn bushes trying to tear us apart we shone the spotlight right at GZ but didnt notice the cache hiding there
Today with fresh determination (and a phone call to confirm it was there last week) we went back and searched again in the light, when theres less chance of walking into the webs and their occupants!
Started at GPS GZ and worked outwards again.
The prize appeared about 4mtrs from GZ so close enough...
Could have kicked myself for not *actually* going over there last night.[:(!]
Took: Mr Iiiix to continue his journey
Took: Star
Left: Smilie Ball (Pauls swap)
Not a bad 1st cache!!!!

Never fear guys - this one is checked weekly during school terms. One of TeamLangy! is within 50 metres of it every Wednesday. We'll let you know if it is missing!
First of three caches this afternoon (others being: Possum's Place & Garmin Central)
Had a crack at this one with Mike (Team Raider) in the early hours of this morning in the dark but gave up at around 1am - too dark, too prickly & too many spider webs! Try again later when it was light.
So back again this afternoon for another go - it's got to be around here somewhere; Gee, the place looks different in the light ... bingo, Mike spots it almost straight away... in probably the only spot we didn't look in last night - Doh!
Found 08/02/04 (8th February) @ 6:30pm by Paul (Team Stargazer)
Took: Silver star
Left: Yellow happy face squishy ball
Thanks Team Langy.

We found the cache in its hiding spot while on our way back home from the shops.
Simple little cache - no snakes, no spiders - damn.
Easy find - took nothing left nothing but footprints.

Took a while to find, couldn't get any sort of lock, so we just resorted to looking in the obvious places, and eventually we got lucky. Left Mr Iiiix TB and kiddy scissors, took pooh bear. Thanks Langy.
GPS coverage a little iffy but got me close enough to find it. Most sats near the horizon this morning not helping. Took the Geocoin and a plastic cow, left a maze game that was driving me batty rattling around in the cache backpack! Thanks Langy, nice 1st cache.
This find was a morale booster for me after three out of three no-finds on previous cache searches. I left a gold coin Travel Bug. Thanks Langy.
Found at 21:30.
I found a decoy hiding spot nearby. The hollow stump was cunningly disguised as a cache hiding spot by having sticks covering the opening
I agree with Astro - it is spooky here at night. There were *things* moving in the dark around me.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Langy.

When this one popped up, we tried to be one of the first as it's in our area- but you've got to move fast to beat teams that hunt by night!
Good cache - took little red frog and left silk scarf.

Nice area tucked away in suburbia. Found no problems - took Happy Face stickers and left Ice Age CD. Thanks Team Langy.
Found by ThomasS and MattS. – It’s a jungle in there! Nice little spot, easy to find (after a minor fight with the undergrowth). Took a bottle opener, and left a frog. I agree with TeamAstro’s comments re the cache. My only concern is that it may be found too easily by geomuggles! But I’ve been wrong in the past. In fact I’ve found a few caches that are in really obvious/daring spots, and the have survived ages… So who knows…
Great first cache Team Langy. At least it is outside, in an unrestricted place, the place where caches should be (please please read caching rules carefully when placing caches!!) . Found at 10:20pm, assisted by the light of the nearly full waning gibbous Moon . I saw a couple of owls but no spiders, piggies, geocoopers or RAVS or other such creatures (thought I heard some frogs) . Left 2 Scribbles Iridescent Paint for Fabrics, which come in handy for night caching, TN.
Feedback: found without reading the hint, so you don’t need it, esp the street address. Delete this. Place where hidden: good. Camo a little too obvious though, so helped me spot it. Difficulty rating spot on and Terrain should be 1.5 (as wheel chair access not possible here and it is much less than 2 mile walk). All in all well done. Welcome to geocaching!!! Thanks for bringing me here.
Clear skies
TeamAstro, John
