Hahaha! I just read the story of Tom Thumb, it is a rather odd little tale. Out with dahumbug and Jelly the Wonderdog collecting a few caches. We arrived at GZ and knew straight away where to search. A look here and there soon produced the wee beasty. Signed the log and then replaced the cache as it had been found.
Thanks for the cache Nosugrefs

Happened to be in the area with Nyssa and we stopped by to have a look for this one. I guess we were looking for something about the size of a thumb. With a bit of a good look, Nyssa came up with the little midget and we were able to put our names in the registrar.
Thanks Nosugrefs for the cache.
Thanks to the others for keeping this one in play.

Nice little park.
Lots of exercising muggles and muggles with dogs.
Thought I was photographing bugs.
Took a little while to find and then it was right there.

We heard this one was still in good condition so decided to give it go. It was smaller than we thought and took a little work but we found it in excellent condition. Nothing wrong with this one. TFTC Nosugrefs
cache find # 1292.
This one was n our list of retired caches, and we needed a cache find for today to fill in our goegrid.
Found after a little searching. TFTC.

Heading to this side of town for a meet up. On the way this one popped up in our archived caches GPS. Head over for a look and surprise, surprise cache is still in place.
Found a small spot to sign and have arranged for a future finder to drop in a new log.

Out for a really big day caching with Censations in Karawatha forest. Over the course of 15 and a half hours we managed about 25kms on foot (17 within Karawatha forest bounds), 42 caches and NO DNFs - gotta be happy about that. Legs are tired now, but what better way to keep fit?
I'm a bit different to many hardened cachers ... I love these little ones. And this one was a great example. I don't pity the poor girls who chose this as their first ever cache though - not a walk-up one if you don't know what to look for.
All is good, but the log is over full. Someone (Gambler I think) has managed to fit an additional piece of paper into the container, so I signed that as well, but it could do with a little TLC.
Thanks Nosugrefs, and another lovely little piece of bush in the suburbs.

Quick find with Stairman1 and geodog. A very hot day so we were lucky we found it quickly. TFTC.
Found with goldielover today. A very hot day again so we were glad we did not have to search long. A quick look and I had the cache in my grasp. Think we were lucky these caches can sometimes take us ages to find.

Found this little fella on a stinking hot boxing day. Had a quick drive by on the way home from the shops.
R and D took a side of the bridge and searched, got to the end and swapped sides, we were on our way back re-checking our original sides when R spotted this little fella!
Signed log and got out of the heat!

As I approached GZ theer were two ladies searching through the bush. 'Caching?' I called. 'Busted'. LOL
This was there first attempt at caching and were having trouble understanding the terminology. So I explained a few things and we worked as a team.
Success in seconds Hopefully they continue. Happy caching Ladies

Really enjoyed this one. Went at night so made it very very difficult, but just as we were about to leave only by accident we found it.
All I can say is p5u!

A beautiful Kookaburra sat above watching what we were looking for...then it flew away once it realised we weren't looking for the same thing as him.
Tom Thumb perfectly describes this cache.
Took dust...left grain of sand

Wow, today finally lucky! I stopped counting how many times we visited this one, today it was not even planned, we just went for a walk a finished hunting and this time lucky, thank you for this cache. The log is getting a little bit full.
One of the muggles appeared to have a cache sniffing dog as it went straight for the GZ. TFTC
The log was full so we added a bit of paper as a temporary solution.

01/10/09 1540hrs - third one with RhesusFactor. Now know what we are looking for found very easily... Great walk and on way back to car, found possum asleep in a termite nest in a tree.
Also found pollution (white water) in the nearby creek and had a look at where it was coming from. Walked up the drain at the end of the creek but after a while pipe split and continued on, so decided to return to the car and report this to authorities.

Found at 0836. A quick find and now I know what I am looking for. I'll try the others. Cache Ok but the log strip is getting a bit full. TFTC.
Looked around in the drizzle for a bit to find this one, but got there in the end. At least I didn't have to worry much about muggles. SL TFTC Nosugrefs
I could not find this one today, Looked for 10 minutes. Maybe the cache was down low, Sore lower back for the past few days. I couldn't bend down very far. Maybe this is why I missed this one.
Found with captainflux and Ellie as below... and of course he found it, I was juggling GPSr, torch and drink bottle! TFTC
Found under cover of darkness with Toy Soldier Division 1824 (EARTH Squad). Log etc. in good nick. TFTC
Had a bit of spare time, went in search of 2 caches fairly close to each other. This is our second Micro, signed log at 1130 am. TFTC
Out this morning with Ant24, Geobub and muggle mate Jamie picking up a couple of caches. This was our second of five caches.
Jamie finally tracked this one down, after what seemed like an hour, but was only about 10mins of searching.

Geocaching with friends Kellickguider, Securtech and Elruano, this was our 9th of 11 finds today.
We tried previously to find this but had to log a DNF. The younger eyes of Securtech found it almost instantly today.

Accompanied with Patox for the day. Excellent hide spot. SL. Thanks Nosugrefs for organising the cache and hunt.
After just doing a similar cahce, had an idea of what to look for so found quickly. Greetings from South Africa.
I found it but didn't realise it until one of my friends told me what it looked like, i'm going out again tommorow to find it.
Out on a day with Mum and Dad. He found it after we searched the entire boardwalk.
Not sure how the name is the clue though.
