As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

I think it's time to let this one go and free up the spot for others.

It appears to be gone again. So now its not going back and will be disabled permanently. Thanks to those that found or tried to find the cache.

Regards Uncle Jiffy

Yep a waste of time from this team.
No cache to be found, this one should be disabled

Adding my weight to this one. It needs to be disabled.

With NEXT! & Scooters mob.
Unable to find cache. A recent clean up may of lead to muggles find.

16:44 Area cleaned up, trees trimmed. Extensive search. Cache looks to be gone.

Gone I think. Nothing to be seen of a regular 1/1.

Had a quick look for this one but way too many muggles around to have a good look.

A nice easy find, with a couple of muggles to avoid beside a very bare park. Took Bottle Opener, Left Donkey. Thanks Uncle Jiffy.

Found easily today while in area. A wet afternoon and not a very attractive area, oh well. LNTN

Quite an easy find even in the dark. No chance of muggles at the hour we found this one. TNLNSL. Thanks Uncle Jiffy.

Nice easy cache to add to our tally for the day.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found it, left key ring bottle opener took frog (2nd frog today)
Not terribly pleasant place though hard to hide from muggles (yourself not the cache that is)

(PS: ping pong refers to the tennis courts I think)

Following Hypo Mix again,
Not a very inspiring location [B)]but well hidden. I'll skip the next one as hypo mix is on the way there. Thanks Uncle Jiffy

Found at 1830 by baby&Mrs gopher TNLN lots of muggles.
Tnx Uncle Jiffy

Found this one out in the open, thankfully it was not muggled. Left a mini doll, took nothing. We re-hid the cache in the spot matching the description and buried it a little better.
TFTC

Thanks to Spruce Mooses for rehiding the cache well. Seems I was following them a bit today.

A quick and easy find in the late afternoon heat.

Found easily, though i am not sure the relationship to the cache name??

Thanks

Found by farmer twins on day trip with chefs .Thanks to Uncle Jiffy .TNLN.

Found by head chef and eldest apprentice,
Nice easy find .This cache wasnt covered properly when we found it but has been covered properly now.
Took lynyard left soft toy.
thanx uncle jiffy for the cache

A great deal of interest from the driver with comments such as " you want to go where?" and "you must be kidding" but we managed to wind out way through the streets to out goal.
Just found the cache when a police siren fired up behind us and we were ring side for a dirt bike vs police car chase around the cache site. Very entertaining. We took nothing and left a good impression. Thanks Uncle Jiffy.

Found at 2.00pm after a short walk in the sun, last of 3 Uncle Jiffy caches for the day.

Took Little Truck
Left Lanyard

TFTC Uncle Jiffy

Found at 2.15pm GAFF1. As I approached the cache I could hear the nice sound of tennis balls being wacked - oh to be back on the courts to play the real ping pong! The cache was partly exposed when found so I covered it up a little better before leaving. Thanks Uncle Jiffy. Took: Spider, Left: Bee

found with oenze 3:20pmIn green car, out rhino. Thx Uncle Jiffy

Found at 3:20pm Accompanied by GeoDano.
1st of three finds for the day.
Got it !! the last time I looked for this cache the batteries of the GPS gave up just as I got to GZ and I actually looked in the right spot (obviously not good enough).
In:-Green Car, Out:-Rhino, Signed Log.
Thanks Uncle Jiffy...

Checked on the cache and its in its original location. I replaced the container as the lid wouldnt stay closed but its all still there.

Uncle Jiffy

Got to GZ and searched around for about 15 minutes then relised there had been freshly cut lawn clippings spread about 10 Meters around the area and thought that maybe the person who put the clippings there might have found the cache...[?]

sixth cache of fifteen for the day. Found at 14:15. A nice little wal along the track and a quick find the nearby bushes were in flower and looked fantastic. Thanks.

Found at 4:10pm after parking within 30m of GZ!! Had to watch out for nearby bikers, but they moved on soon enough and the cache was found quickly.
took hippo
left spider
thanks Uncle Jiffy

Yes Uncle there are two pens in the cache (see your note on 13/6).

The cache was very wet so we spent some time in the sun drying it out.

Plenty of muggles around. Was the dog towing the young man on rollerblades, or was it the other way around.

TN, Left a blue car & signed log.

This was our 3rd find for the day. A bit awkward with a few people around wondering what we were doing.

Found it this afternoon, five minutes after "Because I Can" - similar theme to both of them. TNLN, signed logbook.

10.15am
Found by Roma and Max.
Still a wet and miserable day, but the sky signals better to come.
Took: 64# Carrot.
Left: Yellow Dog.
Thanks Uncle Jiffy,
from Romax.

This was the tenth of seventeen caches found today with Team Crackers. Talk about a prime parking position, it’s not often that you can park this close to a cache. The cache was found quickly and easily.
Thanks Uncle Jiffy

Found 16:40, this was our tenth find for the day while out with Cracker Girl. We couldn't believe how close we parked to this one. The cache was an easy find, but retrieving it inbetween the flow of muggles posed a small problem. This seems to be a very popular park with the locals.
TNLN
Thanks Uncle Jiffy.

This was the second of todays finds. Fairly easy except we had to time our activities between passing muggles. Left a Hippo and took a Panda. Also took the travel bug.
Thanks from Geojack and myself.

Our last for the day, found at 305pm. Good spot, thanks for the afternoon of caching Uncle Jiffy.
Took: Nothing
Left: Pen, Dog, Nabbers First Bug.

Thank you.
Thyla and Thylo

Boy you have to be quick. I went out to this cache today to replace the pen that wasnt working. There was no hurry as it usually gets a visit once per month if lucky and this months was up. Replaced the pen and 10 minutes later someone else finds the cache and does the same thing ( I assume now it has 2 working pens ). Thank you Thyla and Thylo for the pen.

Found by Maya and Ray at 10:50AM on the 12th of June. An easy find. Pen wouldn't write. Sorry, we didn't have a spare, we'd already left that an another cache. TNLN. Thanks from The Nomads.

We have had these cache notes printed since July 04 and today we were happy to find it.
This was another cache were we gave control to the boys to find it and all that training paid off with a quick find by Michael.
Thanks again Uncle Jiffy for the cache it was worth the visit.
Taken coin – Left frog.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the “good names for the boys Ping & Pong†Clan.

Checked the cache and it is where the last finder replaced it.

did not find this after 40mins of hunting, this is crazy we tryed every where 3 feet, 3 mtrs, 3 rocks, 3 trees, 3 fence pailings, as well as checking all the obvious places we could just not find it, disapointed yet again

Found on 08/02/05 @ 1752 AEDST. 33rd of 44 for the day with Facitman. This one wasn't found in a jiffy, but it didn't take too long. Quite a few young velocepedic muggles in the area caused us to be cautious.

IN: 40th Forage card

Cheers Uncle Jiffy

** Rhinogeo & Facitman - The 40th Forage **

Found at 5:52pm

Simple find, with minor interruption by bicycling muggles.

Took Nothing
Left Toy Panda

Thanks Uncle Jiffy

** Rhinogeo and Facitman - The 40th Forage **

Found easy by Mark at around 13:15

In: 50 Euro cent coin
OUT: Horse

A nice easy find.
Number 2 drove nearer to the cache as we initially parked a little way off.
Number one & plus 2 took nothing left nothing.

Thanks Uncle Jiffy

Found at 9.35, after dodging dog walkers and cyclists. TNLN.

Found with Spindoc Bob.

Found with no trouble. The cache was water logged. Opened it up and dried the contents, but the roo was beyond help. Not the most inspiring cache location. TNLN.

Found at 5:40pm. Rabbitto's Run 2004. The 23rd of 33 finds for the day on our attempt to log the most caches in Australia in one day. Time elapsed since start - 9 Hours 40 Mins.

After our second blank patch on the finds, with over an hour and 10 minutes since the last hit, this cache got us back on track again. With a few muggles around, we had only a couple of minutes to find and log but that was all we needed.

Thanks Uncle Jiffy from D,S & H B-A.

Found at 1040 on 13 november 2004 by 4 Men and a Lady

Fairly easy find at GZ. The real challenge was avoiding the mud from where we parked to GZ.

Took Glitter Stick
Left Basketball Card

Many Thanks to Uncle Jiffy

Decided to do an easy one with killerbunnies following a less than successful attempt at Double Overpass. Left orange car, took green car.

Found with geogourmet ... and despite geogourmet lagging behind us while getting out from the car, he still managed to grab it first by diving rugby-try style underneath the bushes.

Nice and easy after having no success with double overpass. Thankfully there still are easy ones out there!

Left Carrot #3

Nice area, never been out this way. Thanks for the trip. Weather not fantastic, but it helped keep the crowds away. TNLN.

Found 15:35, took match box car and left Tigger figurine. Thanks Uncle Jiffy.

It was a short hop, skip, and jump from "Because I Can" to here. Emu-M was going to race the adults to the cache on foot, but we relented and took her in the car. Kiwideb found it at 1730 in the fading light. So, that's 16 finds for the day. Will we call it quits, or do just two more? What do you reckon! Off to "Double Overpass"!

IN: Glitter glue
OUT: Wooden train (which had been deposited by muzza seconds earlier)

Here with Muzza, Dak and little emu. Another interesting park. We did the rush to the cache thing. I found it 1st at 1730 time to get the torches out I think. My 9th of 14 for the day.
Swapped a racing car for a whistle.
Thanks again Uncle Jiffy.

Found in the company of Kiwideb, DAK, and Emu-M. Kiwideb was the victor this time, finding it in a place we had both looked earlier. The light was fading and there was no-one else around to disturb our hunt.

I took a carabiner and left a small train. Thanks again, to Uncle Jiffy.

Found by Mary & David at 1115. Thought this one might be hard to access unobtrusively in school holidays, but luckily the place was deserted. Took glitter stars, left whistle/compass. Our thanks to Uncle Jiffy for giving us our 1200th find.

Woohoo.
We saw this one pop up this morning and given it's only 10 minutes away from us, we set out with high hopes of being the first to find the cache.
A mis-entered waypoint had us originally searching in the wrong area, but we quickly rectified the situation and headed for GZ.
After a few minutes searching we had the cache in hand.
Literally 30 seconds later Juzmac arrived on the scene.
Phew! We were first, but only just.
We took a starfish and a frog.
We left a Kangaroo Keyring and a Car.
Thanks for a good find Uncle Jiffy.

As Maxwell Smart would say... "Missed it by that much"...

After finding the Because I Can cache nearby we got back in the car and headed off. We saw on the GPS that there were a few spots to pull up and walk but I saw a possibility in a court just next to the where the cache is. As we pulled up we saw a group of people walking in and out of the bushes and funnily enough holding a GPS in their hands. We walked around the corner and there it was... We had been beaten!!!

Very good hiding in both spots we saw today!!!

Thanks Uncle Jiffy for another good easy cache!
