I should have updated my GSAK before I went to look for this one. Now I know why I couldn't find it after 20 minutes of poking around in evry nook and crany. I thought it was just me.
cache was underwater when i stoped by today. i have removed the cache and now drying every thing out. once every thing is dry i will find a dryer spot to place the cache.
Nice easy cache close to home GPS wanted us to take a swim but decided to search the area instead finding it about 6 metres out.Thanks Rayozzy.
Notebook was still fairly damp but the rest of the contents was all fine.

will stop by with a new log book this week. once i dry the origanal log book out i will return it to the cache so that all logs will be there.
Called by on a travel bug raid, retrieving Debbie the Dolphin Travel Bug. Nice new container which is still dry but the log book is very damp.
have dryed every thing out and replaced in a new more water tight cache. the log book is now dry and all logs were saved.
To late Rayozy. We found it before you put it offline. The casche is damp but not too bad. We could still write on the paper. Sorry, We didnt have a replacement notebook on us today. You could salvage the notebook at home to dry it and reuse it.
We bagged the whole container so it will stay dry for now exceprt for the obvious moisture thats already in there.
There is a bee nest 15m further on from the cache site so if you hear bees then backtack away from them (especialy if you are alergic).
We found that the coords were 10m out also but didnt check them against other peoples figures so we cant say which one to use. Cache was very well hidden but was also in the sort of place we would look so that made it possible to find under all that leaf matter.
Thanks for the walk...Bikes would have been a hoot along these tracks.

Was a good fun Saturday arvo walk to find this with my dog.
I'd read the last posting so I took a towel and wiped everything down for you. Everything was pretty soggy still, including the notebook so you might need to swap it over with a new one when you get a chance or take the cache offline for a bit and let everything dry out before the mould monsters get to it. Was a fun walk and find so thankyou

Found this ome on my way home from work, I live within about 5 k's from here, a great spot that I have not been to and I must come back with my bike and explore.
The cache IS in the obvious spot but still took me a while to find, I did not look well enough the first time.
The container is quite wet and so is the pen so I was not able to write in the log book, I took a monkey business fridge magnet but had nothing to leave (hope thats OK)
Thanks Ray I enjoyed this one

Even though the cache was a plastic container and inside a zip lock bag, it still got wet. This is the only fine day after the worst storm in years. Several mini-tornadoes set down in this general area. Rain again tomorrow. The log was soggy but not drenched so we were able to sign it. Don't know which set of coords are the best since under the trees everything went haywire. T: tape L: bear_left utility card. Tread carefully – we saw dog owners striding off while the pets did their business everywhere. No dog poo bags here unfortunately.
A nice and easy found for a change. T: Penny; L: Red Counter. Thanks for a nice little walking exercise. TFTH.
Managed to get off work early and thought I'd try this one whilst visiting relatives in the area.
Turned out to be a quick and muggle free find.
Tried the original cache co-ords first which took me close and then tried the second set of co-ords which had me right on top of the cache. However when replacing the cache these second set of co-ords had shifted and had cache about 10 metres away.
Found bag containing cache to be a little exposed so I sprinkled some more ground cover on top as camouflage.
Had nothing with me to trade so TNLN.

Hmm this is hidden 904.7m from my house. If that's not taunting me then I don't know what is!
Found after work at 5:30pm. Had to make as if I was photographing birds and what not several times as muggles and their muggle-muts came by. 
Well hidden spot, although it was obvious the cache was there as to the way it was 'camoflauged' .. us geocachers hide things in a telltale way.
Thanks for the cache!

Found it pretty easily at about 5:10 PM. Initially used Bear_Left's coordinates but quickly realised the error of my ways. Found them out by, you guessed it 15 metres. Once I reverted to the original ones it was a quickie. Had Devar's problem with muggles as well. Grabbed the DuneRat Travel Bug and a tennis ball and left Elmo's Adventure Travel Bug and a musical cassette. Also enjoyed a very pleasant 4 km walk in the area. Thanks Rayozzy for an enjoyable hunt.
i have re-checked the coordinates and today my gps read S32.02.015 E115.54.677. as the last team to find this cache seems to think the origian coordinates worked for them i will leave it as it is but if you have trouble then try the new one. if more people feel it needs to be changed then i will have another look at it. thanks. rayozzy
After a lazy (Papa B_L) and pious (Mama B_L) Sunday morning, PBL came out of the cave and had a glance at the 'latest local caches' listing. Coming wide awake, he showered, put on some washing, put the new cache listing on the Palm and left for a drive.
PBL:
The GPSr consistently wanted me to swim across the small creek, but I think it was just having me on. I wandered up and down a bit, just in case there _was_ a way across, but all I found was some water under the grass (squelch!) and a beehive in a tree by the track (buzz!)
So, abandoning the GPSr, I looked around and applied Cacher's Intuition and found it in the place that I'd eyed off as likely when I first arrived. (It was about 15m off by my GPSr; try S32 02.017 E115 54.671 if you have the same trouble)
As I was filling it in, a couple looking at an electronic device approached and revealed themselves as Chwiliwyr (I'd previously met one half when he helped with some research for an upcoming cache) They found the cache even more quickly (it was still in my lap!) and took Bugs TB as they were planning to visit the StarGate today anyway.
A pleasant chat later, moving away from the mozzies, and I was away back up the hill.
A nice spot, that I'd had a quick look at before as I was searching for a location for the cache that became "Lizard Plain"

After seeing the newest caches, and deciding that it was too far for the other two, off we went. Down the track we went but instead of finding a pristine cache we found a papa bear instead.
Left small key tag and took Bugs TB off Bear_left as we hadn't visited 'Stargate P32115 TB' and intended to go there anyway after this one.
Originally my GPS had us on the right side of the stream but standing on the track and acquiring more satelites it also said GZ was on the other side of the stream. I had a similar GZ to the one Bear_left has recorded in his log.
