as container keeps being taken will be placing anew close to area with give new waypionts.
Based on the number of DNF's and that the cache owner last loged in on Sunday, March 25, 2007; I suggest that this cache be archived.
I tried this one today as I was in the area. Despite the DNF's, I decided to have a go. You never know.
Unfortunetly, after almost 50 minutes looking left, right, centre, up and down, nothing. NOT A THING!

No luck with this one today. Searched high and low but came up empty handed. Looking at previous logs shouldn't have been that hard.
If I worked here don't think I would be sitting down at this bus stop, it's filthy! Thanks nuggetnose.

A quick easy find. Cool hide - nice container.
As previously logged the lid is busted but it doesn't seem to be an issue - cache is in good condition.
TNLNSL TFTC!!!

Found this one without any trouble. Lid is still broken but hardly matters given it's hidey hole. Left Christmas in Canada Geocoin. (It's only tiny so fits no problem)I often work in the place directly behind here, it's funny I had not nabbed this one much sooner! TFTC SL
Quick easy find,
lid of container is broken so a check by cache owner may be in order.

Found this fairly quickly on a short stop on the way to see the mighty Bulldogs maul the Rabbitohs. TFTC.
Found by Mary & David at 1655. Another nice quick one. Luckily, nobody about to hamper our search. TNLN. Our thanks to nuggetnose.
Second of nine for the morning. Found at 6:20am. No problems with security guards this time!
TFTC!

After parking and checking out the wrong shelter, I turned on the GPSr and made the short walk to the correct shelter. Needless to say, I had much more success after searching this shelter. (Who would have thought that there would be two bus shelters so close together on the same stretch of road?)
Thanks nuggetnose.

I'm not sure whether this structure is used for its intended purpose, but I've never seen anything so filthy in my life! No matter how dirty somebody got at work, they would still not be able to sit on these seats. I guess the good thing is that I didn't have to worry about leaving dirty footprints, more about leaving clean ones!
Anyway, it was a quick find, although the nearby guard gave me the once over when I returned to my bike.

A nice easy (although dirty on the hands) cache. No-one around in the middle of the day. Thanks for the cache.
A quick find on a quiet Sunday afternoon. This area gets a lot of pollution quickly. even the cache container has a film of grim. BTW - the lid is partially broken.
A rainy weekend is probably the best time to grab this one, nobody else around and we found it easily.
This one is so close to work and i've been wanting to grab it for ages however the constant mid week procession has foiled my attempts.
Today with the family we pretended to be a bus and grabbed it with ease.
Thanks for the hide.

Rated: for Overall Experience
Out for an evening of caching with Swampgecko, who'd done this one previously. He ran decoy while I found, logged and rehid the cache. A good start for the evening.
Thanks Nuggetnose from The Ginger Loon.

So many muggles driving past for a public holiday. Eventually, with a pause in the traffic, we found easily.
My Respite Care Crystal found it for me and makes her excited, thanks Nuggetnose. S.L.
Great hide spot, Crystal beat me found the micro. SL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.
It was still dark when we got to this cache, so it took us a little while to locate.
Thanks Nuggetnose
Thanks Nuggetnose
Nice easy find, very dusty, lots of smog and trucks. Thanks Nuggetnose for the hunt. S/L.

EASY FIND IN THE BIG SMOKE FOR THE CRICKET AUSTRALIA AND SOUTH AFRICA PICKED UP A CACH OR TWO THANKS TNLN
On turning the corner, all fell into place and the name of the cache became apparent. An easy find and no-one around on a Sunday. Log is torn bits of computer paper - may need to be replaced soon. Thanks for the cache.
Decided to go for this on a public holiday considering the past logs saying lots of muggles about. Great idea, not a soul to be found, parking is fine, road had very little traffic,may be different during the work day. Very easy find, thanks for leaving caches that are easy for beginners.

Dropped the boy off to do the biz then came back to pick him up. Easy find.

Easy find signed log.We did some trials of a water thickness measuring device at the competitor's printing facility up the road a few years ago. In offset printing the quality of the print is determined by accurately controlling the water/ink ratio. Surprisingly no one had come up with a way of measing the amount of water on the plate.
These printing presses are monsters - 3 stories high, about 50m long and print 75,000 papers per hour. They sound and feel like a locomotive when they get cranked up.
There was no one around today and it was in the obvious spot.
TNLN.

When this cache first appeared we thought it had something to do with the underground bunker or bomb shelter up the road, which has tunnels running all around the area. As you drive up the Hume you can still see some of the vents next to the road.
The strange thing about the bunker and all the tunnels was before they had all the entrances welded shut they always had guards patrolling the entrances. Of course some of the railway workers would try and sneak in but they always got caught and threatened with dismissal if they returned or told anyone about them.
Which in itself is pretty suspicious considering they where only supposed to have stored ordinance during WWII. One person who claims to have been inside alleges that there are crated Harley Davidsons, airplanes and boxes of ammunition lying around the place. This may be possible if you realise that the Newington Arms Depot was just down the road (which was open to the public last month and well worth a look).
Some people claim that the Yanks had some top-secret weapon stored there and then forgot about it. Apparently the only officer who knew about the weapon fell of one of the rides at Luna Park and was impaled by a Pluto Pup.
