Cache was a fair way away from the coordinates which made it almost impossible to find. I'm not sure of the correlation with the name and the cache, though the nearby memorial is my guess....thanks for the area.
The log is now dry, though it is unusable and will need replacing, thanks to the previous finders on drying it out. The wetness has made the paper somewhat moldy and the items in the cache werent fairing too good. I discarded one or two rusted items, otherwise replacing the rest back into their container.
Must have been a big flood to get this cache as it was in a good location. The container is not stuck down anymore.....please be aware when replacing the cache.
Thanks for the cache area

My GPS pinpointed a location some 30 metres away, however the cache was in a fairly obvious location so was easy to find.
Container is no longer glued to anything and the log book is probably wet beyond reuse. Left the log book outside of its plastic bag in the hope it may dry out a little.

Hi,
Found after wading in the mud a bit.
The container is wet inside and the booklet is wet through.
Left a small dinosaur.

Nice spot for a cache with interesting access, found Mr Herbert while we were there.
The bottom of the container was full of water and the log is a bit damp. Resealed as best I could.TNLN

Found it after i searched and searched. Its no longer glued down...its damp inside...but still a fun find! (thanks) I own a few caches ....but took nothing and left a gold AGSO pin. The concept is a great one. Thanks
This is a nice place to visit. Thank you for the experience.
The content of the cache were still a little moist but they seem to be on the mend.

Cache is still there, though it isn't glued down in its position. Contents were fairly wet so we dried them all and put them into the plastic bag.

The second Panic! cache and the second to cause me frustration. Anyway, I searched around, above, and below, and could find no cache. I did find a very curious lizard though.e
A familiar cache location. Found after about 10 minutes of searching. The cache is secure and the lid was on, but the contents were damp. Left a cement mixer truck toy.
I visited this cache to re-new the glue. I arrived to find what I thought were cachers but turned out to be locals from a nearby house swapping bridge washers for whatever they liked. I was not impressed, but pulled out my video camera to video tape them in the act. I love 20 times zoom.
Re-glued cache container to bridge.

Left the GPS behind and opened my mind a little more to this one. Too hung up on the previous M. Herbert before. This time no probs. No glue either. Signed log book. TNLN
Well this was our first Cache!!! Great spot. Only wish the co-ordinates were a little more spot on.

Third in our Panic! appreciation day. A great audio-visual cache. Thanks! Sadly, however, I have to report that the glue is giving out. T: tiger, L: onyx sphere.
Found cache with alpha993. Good location. Waypoint or GPSr a little off target with this one. The grave site is not the location. Have a look around at what would make a good location. The cache container is no longer stuck down. TNLN.
I checked this cache Sunday and thanks to generous donations it is now full and in trading mode.
Yeah The S's, the cache container sat on the bridge for a full week while I waited for the glue to harden. Now that would be funny, logging a cache *before* it was listed.

Found with 'sixtynine' after a few errant satellites had us 50+ metres from the target to start with. Should have left GPS in car and used 'the force' like earlier visitors. Can hear the comments now... "we are so dependant on technology" 
Took car and left keyring with compass/whistle/LED light.Note: Container has come away from glue/silastic base ?with the high temps during the week. Thanks Panic!

On December 31 we were out this way and thought we would stop and see if we could find any remenince of finding Michael Herbert and whilst there Mrs S saw this container and her first thought was 'that looks like a cache container' but since there had not been any sign of it on the site she thought it may not and thought it best not to touch it. She shouldn't have listened to her first idea and gone and picked it up as a couple of days later this cache appeared!
Thanks to Panic for any easy cache with no hills!

A nice easy cache (if you leave the GPS in the car, and use the Force)… Lovely little spot too. I even managed to find Michael Herbert this time (didn’t find him last time)! Thought I’d be the first here today, getting there at 7.00 am, but no, MtbikerOz had already been and gone! Took nothing, left a dinosaur. Thanks for the fun Panic! – a lovely little cache!
Rode the MTB out there at the crack of dawn. Parked the bike, and in 5 secs I had the cache.
Found at 6:30am, 2nd to find though.
Left a packet of balloons, took nothing.
Cooeee off I headed to do Angle parking.

He he. First find!!!
Its been a long time since I've done this. It looks like the rest of you are getting slack if I was able to make it here first.
Any way I got a good little chuckle, when seeing and trying to pick up the cache finding it would not move as it was stuck down. Opps I remember reading that in the cache page.
I left a couple of toy animals and took nothing as there was very little to take.
Fun Idea Panic, but I was wondering if the container should be a little bit bigger so we can see how much stuff we can get in it?
A 44 gallon drum perhaps?

The clue is most useful here. This is pretty much the same instructions left with the cache that was here before this cache.
Spent a while looking but without success. Found the monument at GZ easily enough and although we've discovered a cache here before we couldn't find this one. The difficulty is raised a bit when the cache page says 'Not far from this roadside memorial you will find the cache', so GZ becomes irrelevant. We'll be interested in how other cachers fare.
