1862.

I had to wait out the locals but the phone box proved to be a good diversion. Like the others have mentioned the tin a fair but damaged so the cache needs some love.

Thanks Rallywrxwagon for the cache.

A quick easy find at 9:30pm. Went up the stairs to fill in the log, as the rain was steadily falling at GZ. Thanks!

This one could use a bit of maintenance at some stage in the future, as the container has been deformed, and the log is filling up.

[this was by far the easiest cache that we have ever done......ever.] look at its location on google maps and then you have pretty much found it,[ all you need to do is grab it and log it. cool container though.

It didn't take the Farming machine long to find this one although the coordinates were very good too. Afterwards we sampled the nearby coffee offerings with happy results. thanks rallywrzxwagon for a nice little placement.

G'day Rallywrxwagon,

We found your cache today at 4:35pm as the tenth of nineteen on our Yea/Alexandra/Eildon circuit. The final EMS cache is in the bag for us. Checked the obvious place all over before reading the clue. Thanks for our 26th Rallywrxwagon cache.

Kind Regards,

Found by Roma and Max.
As we said before, these little containers are perfect for this type of hide.
Like a previous finder, and now knowing what to expect, we only had to wait for the usual traffic at this venue to depart before we made a quick find.

Thanks once more Rallywrxwagon.

Found by Bob and Dan at 1100

While on our way home from a fishing trip to Eildon, I managed to take a long-cut via Alexandra and thereby pick up a few caches on the way home. Most of the town was pretty empty this Australia Day morning (everyone must have been at the Jazz Festival at the local park which we passed soon after) and we had no trouble locating the cache in the 2nd spot we checked Smile.

Thanks again Rally - I've always rather liked Alexandra, it's one of my favourite country towns.

Nice cache we found on dark, No muggles around at this Hour, Geoteen94 & geoPa27 also in search "PARTY" TNLN TFTC ! ps I hate micro's they can be hidden anywhere

Found by edmil & maddie. The cache was a quickly and easily found, the problem was getting back as it appeared that muggles were descending on the area like flies to barbecue. After waiting for about 5 minutes or so the mortein seemed to work and we got a clearing, cache was quickly replaced and we moved on. Thanks for the cache.

Second cache in Alexandra on day trip around. Great memory Hedgie, for some things.

Wheeeeeee! Two steps from the car, one quick look and the cache was mine. Doesn't get much eaiser that this.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks again Rallywrxwagon.
 
29-Nov-06
Found 10:05, the cache was found easily enough put it took some time before I had a clear opportunity to replace it, as the local post boxes were very busy at this time of the morning.

TNLN, thanks Rallywrxwagon.

No-one about at 5pm on a Saturday.
Found it in under 5 seconds!
Replaced it label-side-in to add to the challenge for the next to look!

Found by Mary & David at 1315. A quick find once we convinced ourselves we needed to look there. Took US quarter, left UK 10p. Our thanks once again to Rallywrxwagon.

Well this one was found after a little searching of the wrong public structure first. I'm glad it's quiet in this part of town in the evening. Wile I was filling out the log a muggle went buy but that was about it. I learnt an interesting hide technique here I had previously dismised as nonviable so it looks like it pays to try an idea before you scrap it.

Thanks RallyWRXwagon for your recomendation on this cache.
 
01-Oct-06
Found at around 6.00pm GAFF1. We were actually on the phone talking to the Coffee's about the "Cache a Fish" cache, when we were looking for this one. We were being given some interesting instructions which we tried to incorporate in our searching efforts, but in the end we just got down and dirty and found it.
Thanks Rally.

This was a realy quick one. Approaching the area already unveiled a suspicious object. One quick grab and ready to log.
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Germany.

Found on 13/07/06 @ 1107 AEST. Thursday must be the day for all of Alexandra's slow-moving old codger muggles to visit the Post Office [:(!]

I found the cache easily enough, but had to run a gauntlet of muggles to retrieve, log, and replace it Wink
