Logs
PQ's don't notify you that a cache been archived, so I went there oblivious, and found it in 30 sec. Log had one small spot left, so I used that and added a new sheet of plain paper as well.
While on a flying visit to Syddeney, mine host for the evening, MindSocket, thought he'd kill two birds with one stone by allowing me to find this cache and performing his nursemaid duties with a new logsheet once I'd done so.
Alas, however, neither of us could find it. Now, me being unable to find a cache is nothing to worry about, but Rog knew where it was supposed to be, and he couldn't find it either. So it's probably not there anymore...
Now that I know what it was, there's a few likely scenarios for its disappearance.
And I still don't know what those bloody Vikings have to do with it!

thanks mix.
A very clever hide.

PS The log is full. Could the next finder bring a piece of paper along. Thanks.

Finding the location was easy but finding the cache was not! I didn't understand the description at all and the hint was no help. Basically had no idea what I was looking for. After much frustration, foliage and spiders webs ,I gave up.
No 4 of 6 found on way to get daughter from the airport. Foliage got me wet as a rain shower passed minutes earlier. Great hiding.
The log is getting VERY full. The next finder may have to bring a sheet of paper to continue the logs.
Well done Mix

Zoomed in on the right spot straight away but took a while to click to the hide out!
Nice one Mix.

after changing out of my fairy outfit DMan took me to find this tricky cache had to look at the environment in a different way to find it Thanks TNLN SL
After Droping a fairy off to a childrens party at putney park thought i would see what is about, and behold a near by cache, Great Cache. I love when you get creative and smart cache's TNLN SL
gotta admit brilliant disguise. definately as sneaky as a tangles job! took many passes to think w8 a minute!!!
2nd time lucky for this one after receiving a "sprinkle" of luck from the caching fairy. Nice hiding spot and loved the small pencil. Signed log!!
Took a few minutes of hunting around but once we were on the right track we found it quickly.
Didn't find this one this time. Decided to return home for more clues as we had only printed part of the information. Having re-read it now, it still makes no sense. We did think it had been tampered with but noticing that it was found twice yesterday, we will have to return to have another go!!
Pleasant walk in a garden. Went straight past it noticing the container and then went I went past it again I thought about it a bit more and looked inside.
Great container.
Well done Mix.

"why a micro in a location like this" i asked myself, then i noticed something that looked a little out of place,
great Cache Mix. Very clever.

Second one of the evening for the combined Team Chaos/Swampgecko night cache assault.
I (Loon) was here on the 29th July and the uprooted tree that Pesky mentions was already pulled out.
I didn't find the cache then (obviously) and didn't log a DNF (naughty Loon, bad Loon, sit, siiiit!). I thought I did a pretty thorough search then but obviously not thorough enough.
Once again Swampy came up with the goods, damn he's good!
A very clever cache indeed. I'm surprised we haven't seen more of these in Sydney. Well done MIx, thanks for the hunt.

NO idea where to look for this one, the last hunter has pushed a tree over GZ, or someone has.
looked for somethng that might be missing,and found some evidence of muggle activities.... will contact MIx for a check as i fear someone has muggled the whole garden

This is the first cache I have ever found. Looked for 3 others today and was starting to get frustrated. After 5 mins of looking I was about to give up. Noticed the container and thought - that can't be it. Glad to say I decided to check.
Well its been a long time since ive updated my cache finds (lucky most of them have been with sc00t)... but after finally getting my account back up and going its time for some updates.
Well Mix, if that is your real name very very sneaky indeed!!! didnt take us that long, but it was well worth it ...cheers mate!!!

Mix, Mix, Mix - You are a cheeky thing.
We didn't quite know what to expect at this one, but we noticed it straight away, Urban caching at its finest.
Nicely done.
Cheers

From the name of the cache, this was not we expected. Still we found the well hidden cache without any problem. Clever hiding guys.
Our first cache by Mix and yes - he is a devious b!@#$%^ isn't he. Found easily and quickly, though we both looked at it twice before checking it out. We may just have to use this idea in WA. SL. Thanks for the cache Mix.
After reading the previous logs it was just a matter of finding something out of the ordinary - or in the case, something that was ordinary. My questions is, what do the council gardeners think this is?
Nice work Mix. Very creative.

Very clever Mix but you didn't fool me on this occasion, although it was very well disguised. Thanks heaps for the challenge. Regards Philma.
This cache has been on my hit list ever since Mix asked me to help out as a local maintainer, and now I've found it, I'm in a position to do so.
We rocked up with Team SMH, and experience won out, with the cache in hand in a matter of seconds. After taking time out to log the cache and grab a few happy snaps, we were back on our way.
Good one Mix

Found this one with missleah, after a quick call to BigmickB to clarify we were seaching in the right area, came up trumps almost straight away
Very clever. Walked passed it several times. Had a little bit of trouble with the GPS but fresh batteries helped.
You sneak! This one took us a while and we just couldn't understand: this should be an easy one... We actually spotted the cache right when we arrived, but somehow it was too well hidden for us newbies . We'll remember this one.
Normally we look for something out of place, but here we spotted something very familiar. You sly devil, Mix. Great cache in a great area.
2nd time lucky.. i was looking for something in the trees or somthing last time but a very unique way of hiding a cache..
what a clever little cache, searched around for a bit before spying the ingenious cache container
GPS got me to 1m of GZ, after a quick look around found the stash.
easy find, like the container, signed log

I found the published coords to be spot on. I found this one relatively quickly, but I think I had an advantage. I had seen a similar one in the US a couple of weeks ago. It's a clever way to hide a cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.
The one thing about micros, is the hiding methods are only restricted by the ingenuity of the hider and of course the laws of physics. It's amazing where you can insert something that small and get away with it.
The posted co-ords are spot on, the others would have put me in the yard of a house nearby.
Did not take too long to find, only a few minutes, I won't say what gave it away.
Signed the log, played on the equipment, stared at the nosy neighbours and then high tailed it outta there.
A nicely done micro!!

I do believe this would be my first cache by Mix, and it lived up to all expectations. The GZ was obvious enough, however it still took Jamie B and myself at least ten minutes searching before we unlocked the secrets of the Spam. Cunning! It was Jamie who made the find. The find was made even sweeter by finding we were the first finders! Top work, Mix! I love it!
This note now not needed as co-ords seem good
