Sorry, at this time, this cache will not be replaced. Maybe in the future we will look to re-do this idea nearby.
Dear iiloud. First up my apologies for using your cache page in an attempt to contact you, but as numerous emails from myself and others in respect of the Easting Travel Bug (TBJD4T )which you inadvently removed from Western Australia early this year have gone unanswered I felt that this is my only option. I would appreciate it please, if you could contact me directly to discuss options to return the Travel Bug to Western Australia where it is part of a cache. Please see the attached tag and bug page for details. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks. Andrew.
*** THIS CACHE IS MISSING ***
Went with Linqkster to help him with his new GPS...
He found the location but the cache is definately missing!
Will post a private note to the owner with thoughts on what happened...

14:49hrs from 3 metres away a look of frustration swept across the Pigs face, his idea had been implemented by someone else. It was bound to happen, we suppose. The log is saturated and needs replacing, maybe a touch of silicon would alleviate fuure water issues. Nice job with the cache, the twelve that I have sitting at home may make an appearance one day.
GPS took me to approx 20cm from this one! How good is that?!?!?! What an excellent hide too. Very ingenious. I'll be stealing that idea for down south!
Found this one with Wisdog (New Cacher)
3rd time lucky!!!
Who would have believed that the cache was hidden there?
Nice hide!

The Wisdog loved this one.......with a camo twist....lovely.
Note, was with the Wright brus during this one...peace.

Great little cache with a surprise!
Our very first cache, good to finally find one after much faffing about with the Combination series.
There was only five cents in it so we didn't take that out. Put in ten cents though.

Nice walk in the park and a quick find....Great idea for a hide. Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan.
Geokids ran to it straightaway.
Nice hide.
Log is full but signed on the reverse side which was blank.

Have had practice with this type of cache in Sydney, so as the shrieking MadWoman I had no trouble finding it.

Sneaky Ilourd... Very very sneaky! I walked straight on by but luckily the excited shrieking of The Mad Woman alerted me to it's presence. Really well, disguised and a great idea. Myself T.M.W, and D Man took the last three remaining spaces on the log sheet... Time for newwie. Cool little spot! Not much traffic coming in which is a good thing if you are riding in a vehicle driven by The Mad Woman... She can be a little bit "unorthodox" at times.
"none so blind as he who cannot see" I love this cache. I was about to call it quits when on a second inspection I found it. Very clever
I've been meaning to do this cache for aaaaaaaages, and finally got around to it today. What an ingenous hide! It was great!! Anyway, silly me forgot to take a writing implement, so I sort of engraved my name onto the log with some wire - I promise to go back and write it properly!

Couldn't find this one. We wandered around for a while but the kids were getting itchy in the grass and restless, I think we must have been almost standing right on top of it but nearby muggles meant that we moved on to the wall...
Ozzie-Jeeper suggested I check this one out. After the DNF at the Wall is was determined to find this one.
Found it, I love the thinking. Well Done.

What an Ingenious hide .....Almost gave up!...sat down and had a think and look around...... definatly test ones thinking!...
Very clever hide, caught onto the idea as we were approaching and got it straight away.
Grabbed a Monkey tube.

In town for a meeting nearby, pseudo-geek kept prompting me to "go for it" on this one, so what else could I do?!?! An afternoon tea break walk had the very cleverly disguised cache in hand at 15:00.
TNLNSL. Many thanks llourd for providing me with my most easterly cache to date !!

Hmmm ... second failure of the day.
From the other logs it seems we are going to have to be a bit sharper - my entry is as per caughtatwork's though minus the flash of inspiration.
Will try again.

2 second find. I'd thought about doing exactly the same sort of cache back in Adelaide. Top effort, works well. Took little flag and left USA quarter.
Thanks
Thanks
Found 6.30am what a fabulous hide! I was feeling it was time to give up but then realised the cache was right under my nose. Thanks for the cache.

3 second find. After yesterday troubles. I must have had sharpened up the visual and mental awareness a notch. Logged and gone in two minutes. Very nice spot at 6.50am.
Found by caughtatwork at 11:20
Woohoo. Some hairy turns in amongst the traffic (including nearly heading up the bus lane) and Uncle Gary, Lindy-Lou and I approached GZ, parking a short distance away.
Despair set in when we saw the area that the GPSr was pointing, but in a flash of inspiration I had the cache in hand within a few seconds.
What a sensational hide. I must steal this idea, really.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks llourd. A wonderful cache that has made it onto the list of my personal favourites.

We found this as our last cace for te day. It was a great hide. Found wit my dad and my brother.
This was an excellent hide. I was about to give up on it when I tried the right spot. I took the 12 Monkey tube and left a small car.
Thankyou Ilourd
I just love these quick urban caches that I can do midweek during my breaks at work!
The coordinates were spot on and that idea is a classic

Nice one bruva!
After wandering around looking like a stressed student practicing a talk with a laptop, I investigated further what I originally thought was a little odd. Great spot!
SL, added 1x MonkeyStamp-Tube (please log if you take this, it is for our up-coming prize-cache ).

Second of three finds for the night. Looking for a 'cleverly hidden' micro in the dark under torchlight? Could be interesting. It turned out to be less daunting than I had anticipated. The coordinates were spot-on, and I had seen that method previously. Just as well, or it could have been as daunting as I feared. I signed the log at 1850. Thanks to llourd for the cache.
This area has certainly changed since last time I was here. I got a surprise when some fellows appeared out of the bushes. Then saw another still there. Looked to be way out of it. Great hide. Thanks Llourd.
This was my first cache! I am no longer a virgin! My REAL geek friends in Melbourne will be so proud of me. This cache is only a few hundred metres from work, so it was a nice lunch-time walk. I nearly gave up looking for it though. Very sneaky...
Of course, I forgot my pen, didn't I - so I had to go back later in the day to make my entry in the log. What fun. But I'm not hooked...

Someone has been to Dubbo recently.
"Bloody Fantastic!!! Really loved coming across this unique and subtle idea for a geocache. Would love to know where to find the container as to replicate it for our fellow Brisbane geocachers (giving credit to you for the idea of course)!"
I didn't put two and two together until I found the cache. Nice job.
I found this cache and it was the 2nd of four for the day plus a full day of workshopping. Solo Team Bluedog in town for a 36 hr visit.
Thanks

We left the boys practising some goal kicking and wandered off to find this one ourselves. Tom came up with the goods after a short search. Very natty little hide!
Signed log and joined the boys for some fine footy.
Thanks for the hunt.

Was actually an easy find I thought it might be difficult, however just used instinct and somehow worked.
This may help me with another cache elsewhere looking at who's logged this one now [^]
Thanks for the great cache

Great siting. I visited at 7:30 am with lots of people walking, students on their way to school and cyclists going about their business. Could still go about my business undisturbed. Circus adds a lot of colour.
Found this one at lunch time. Nicely hidden. The circus was setting up in the park nearby too.
Yes! We where Victorious at 1:25am.
I can’t say that I had thought of something like this, great idea and implementation!
Unfortunately we did not have a pen or pencil with us (so much for bring the Geocaching pack) so we couldn’t sign the log.
We had a very close look at a bat that was hanging in a low branch and didn’t mind us getting up close, there are plenty of these around. Also all the water hens where going around in circles trying to hide from our torch light in the reeds.
Thanks llourd,
Lt. Sniper & Co.

Well executed hide llourd, we liked it. Local cricketeers seemed to be keeping an eye on us.
Found by HOTANDSWEATY at 5.53pm on 6/3/2005 by Dale & Alison. This is a lovely park not too far from home.
I have been toying with that same idea for a micro cache for a while now, but now I will have to think of something different...stay tuned.
PS, you will need to bring your own pen/pencil to log this cache.
