Oops, an even later log by me

A very, very late log. Found this one with the Wackys! 7/12/2008

gone

Could be missing as per logs. Will check when I can.

Had a search despite the previous log, to no avail. There aren't that many places at gz.

Spent a long time looking but looks to be gone.

Found in the dark with rebulus and gspblu watching to make sure I didn't get into any trouble. TNLNSL. TFTC robtas

Didn't have trouble with Muggles. Gspblu found it, a good hide for a cache. Thanks for the cache. TNLN

Found with rebulus 2nd for the day. Nice quiet spot this morning so was easy to find and log. TNLN Thanks robtas

Nice to visit an 'overseas' cache that one of my bugs has passed through.
Read the log and was very amused by all the problems and inspirations a dead cat had on this cache.
Bit wet and wild which kept away all muggles.
Took matches Left Doll.
TFTC

Found quite quickly.
No muggles around on such a cold cloudy day.
TNLN
Thanks for the cache.

Dropped "Chiniot, Pakistan" Unite for Diabetes TB in here to continue its journey.
Lots of muggles in working gear and safety jackets. They were too busy talking to notice me.

Found 200705131439 . There were some cars in the carpark but no sign of any muggles so I was able to enjoy an undisturbed find of the most unusual cache

TNLN

Cheers Robtas

First find early on Anzac Day with no muggles around making it nice and easy. Great river for canoing - people out there already, despite the cool temperatures.
Left Chocks Away Biggles TB. Outside Lap TB had his last glimpse of Tas before heading West again.
Thanks for the hunt, robtas

First find on Easter Sunday. Chilly, misty at the time, however no one around, a quick find. Thanks for the cache. ZZ7

We had stopped literally only seconds when the youngest Stilllookin had the cache in hand.
Thanks.
TNLN

Dropped by on the way home from a very enjoyable Autumn Festival. Given the volumes of muggles gathered on the other side of the river, I was a bit worried that there might have been a few too many near the cache as well, but it wasn't a problem.

I used to work not too far from here, and never knew this piece of the local history. Gotta love caching!

Last of thirteen finds on my last day in Hobart. I had finished my Hobart list, and I knew that there were three caches out here in New Norfolk, so I took the plunge and headed out here. This was the only one I managed to log. I DNFed one of the others, and the third one was not accessible after 1630. It was dark by the time I got here, thanks to the end of daylight saving. I found the cache at 2005 in about the fifth place I looked. My mum used to have a set of those containers! Thanks to robtas for the cache. Cheers, dak.

IN: Frog
OUT: Owl

Had to have a little patience, as there were a couple of muggles parked, almost on top of the cache.
T Bratz pen L Owl.
Swapped travel bugs.

Found at 9:30 am on our 5 weeks Tassie adventure. caching our way around. Travelling from Mt. Field Nat. Park to Snug.What an interesting piece of history, without cacheing we would not have stoped and hence not known anything about the river and tole gate.
LEFT: USA TB.
Took: TB and Micro mini coin (joined together)
TB "The Bald and the Beautiful"
Thanks robtas for the cache.

The Bushies found this as part of there Tour of Tasmania, they will update with more information upon return.

They left 1 TB and took 1 Tb and 1 GC.

Cheers

What a lovely location.

Nice easy cache on drive to Strahan. Stray Kate and I said goodbye to Skater in the hope that he has many adventures in Tasmania. Left Skater and took army men. TFTC

Good to grab an easy one after looong day...although still well hidden.Also my last robtas cache to look for and find..not discounting..Jordan...which I believe isn't there.Thanks a million rob for all the pleasure,stress,swearing,scratches and heartaches along the way.No doubt there will be more coming..so looking forward to those as well.Thanks heaps rob.TNLNSL TFTC Cheers.

Easy find, not in the obvious place. Left calling card.

Thanks ROBTAS you have given us much pleasure from your caches, sadly it is now time to return to the west coast of Australia and back to work.

Thanks for the hunts

Took a stealth TB and left nothing on a nice walk along the river. Cheers

Humm dead cat…. aleast the smell wasn’t overpowering, TNLNSL

Lovely spot and a good hide. The smelly cat carcasse that stared at us retrieving cache was a tad offputting but oh well. sun was just coming up when we got to this area, the soft light making it look prettier. cheers!

combined effort with 2 devil ..thanks robtas for cache site ...took pictures of site ...pussy stank...pussy deceased...tn.ln.sl ..with 2devils

Thankyou Robtas for cache,good spot,lots of muggles,had to wait.Cat was on the nose,looks like the meow,meow terroist has struck again.

My final day of caching with new addicts F@, Mrs F@ and Sparky.

We too found the cat to be a delightful touch.

I left behind a TB that I brought down from Sydney.

Cheers,

the cat was a lovely touch

ewww another dead cat cache!

Found easily once I got over the Cheshire cat grinning up at me!!!! Ewwwwww

We were being watched so I hastily logged and replaced but i think I forgot to put the date, oooooops.

TNLNSL

Fabsio

Nice cat. The way cats should be *ducks for cover whilst slipping into flame proof suit*

What a great idea! Leave a dead animal near the cache to keep muggles at bay. It's so obvious in hindsight. Note to self.... remember when placing next cache, there's alot of road-kill about and it's FREE! Took frog, left ibis. We also replaced the inkless pen with a feathered inked one.

Found on my way up the valley. This cache made me have one line of a song stuck in my head for the entire trip. 'Dead Cat, Three Times' over and over again for an hour.
Thanks Robtas, TN, Left dinosaur and TB

Easy find. Took Racing Car. Left Golf Tees and Emu Key Ring.

Team HotChips

Quick, easy find, no dead cat in evidence
TNLNSL ta rt

first find on the 'damn you geocache' trip.
found in the company of orac and twisti.
a nice place for a hide and little muggle activity this morning.
tnlnsl.
thanks rt.

I have a customer who meets me in the carpark just near this one. Heap of muggles sitting 10 metres away who were there for some time so I could do nothing about the cat. Sorry about that but what else to do. It wasnt there when I placed it so its for the stout of nose at the moment.

Found by Sirius while Quilter was in the near by building spending money to distract the muggle - well that's the excuse I used. Took Jeep TB. SL. Dead cat still there, but no opportunity to remove. Cheers Quilter

Great spot.. There was a dead cat right above the cache.. humm.. Left a yellow jeep. SL

SORRY ABOUT THE DRIED ARRANGEMENT. CAN ASSURE YOU IT WAS NOT THERE AT THE TIME THE CACHE WAS HIDDEN. WILL BE DOWN THEREIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WILL TRY TO HAVE IT CLEANED UP.

Had a lovely stop and run around (puppy loved it too) - a lovely park by the river and interesting history. Was amazed that that bridge was so old, then realised it wasn't.
Took nothing, left lollipop matchbook magnet.
Thanks for this one robtas.

The cat is still there and I found it a bit distressing to have its distorted, sunken features looking at me while doing this cache. Took terradactel (which I think I left on the dirt near the cache) and left car. SL.

Fortunately the cat has gone and there were no muggles. Nice place for a little rest on the way to the west coast.
Took: Shipstamper
Left: 1 luxemburgish Eurocoin

Another one on a rainy day - however it was fantastic to get out of the house and get my paws moving! Loved this area, which I've been near but never visited many a time, so I had a good gallop around!!

I wish I'd realised there would be such a high quality swap - dried cat! - however as I didn't have a suitable item to be able to trade up, TNLN. Thank you, robtas!!

Setting off on our trip to Strahan and this one was too close to pass up. I wonder why I chose this spot for the two vehicles to meet up
Took Plastic paper clips
Left boat hole punch
Thanks Robtas

We stopped on the way home from Adamsfield caching. The dead feral animal was still there, but no longer smelling! Took yellow koosh ball and left yellow frog. Thanks Robtas.

Found easily, nice day walking with dogs. TNLN

found by cachingdynamo, easy find but as dad said in his log, a dead cat was guarding the cache.

nice spot though, almost sprung by fishermuggles, but i'm a kid, no-one takes any notice of me

took spanner
left ball

thanks Robtas [^]

We was pretty worn out after the Mini Golf & our earlier finds, & needed 1 more cache to make 299, so grabbed this quickly before heading North from our Mega southern weekend..

We just followed our noses to the cache for this (literally), there was a dead fly blown carcass guarding GZ, I'd advise those who haven't found it yet to wait a few days to attempt this one, let the Devils clean up the scraps first.

Apart from that, nice area.

T- Kooosh ball
L- Yoyo & bouncy ball.

thanks RT.

OK, that'll do us for the weekend, got a good one planned for our 300th

Energiser advised there is a smelly carcas near the cache. It certainly was not there when I placed the cache. The local wildlife will no doubt clear it up soon.

Found easily while taking advantage of a warm, sunny spring day to do a caching sweep of the lower midlands! Only muggles here today were busy working on the tollhouse.
Took roller stamp left mini shifter and cat toy.
Thanks Robtas.

Found this cache in my previous incarnation as a Cheesy Pig.

Hoory, our second FTF of the day. A nice placement that unfortuntely is in a heavy muggle area requiring Mrs CP to hide whilst the males of the troop ran interference. Took 3D pen, left two party poppers
