Sorry for the people that just had to DNF it unfortunately with the breakdown of my marriage. I have to archive it I had tried to transfer it to my Daughter but until now has not accepted the transfer sorry again for the inconvenience.

Didn't find it,was so looking forward to this one. Really wasn't sure if the empty container we found was part of it. Postman Pat must have been on his rounds. Will keep posted to see if it is findable.

The kids really enjoyed this one. TFTC.

Found and logged at 8:50, On my way home to Wagga Wagga after visiting family in Twoowoomba
TFTC

Reperio at 1145. As soon as we arrived at GZ, we knew what this cache would entail. I have often wondered whether there was a cache in existence, so I'm glad to see there is. Grabbed the key and headed off to the boxes and soon had the cache log in hand. The container that holds the key was broken and had no lid, which I'm surprised the previous finders didn't mention, so replaced it with a new one.

Great cache. Enjoyed it a lot.

Gratias PP.

Found it No. 3624 ... found a red back spider in container ... TNLN ... TFTC

A great idea and a really fun cache to do. Thanks Postman Pat

What a great idea for a cache. Thanks Postman Pat!

After a short site survey, the key was located followed by the correct box. This is a great concept for a cache and it was a shame that the postoffice was closed today (Saturday afternoon) so we couldn't say hi. Thanks Postman Pat!

Found with blossom*

We missed Postman Pat who was off on holidays with the kids we were told. But a nice stopoff to break the journey and Mrs Pat was very helpful

Now this is a novel approach to a multi. Signed the log and had a little chat to Mrs Pat.

We were intrigued by Postie Pat's moniker, as there is a cache in Darwin named Holmes Jungle(Postman Pat's Cache). However since Postman Pat wasn't in to ask, we're still no wiser as to the provenance of that cache's name.

Took some info on other local caches. TFTC

It was great to meet the owner Postman Pat. and thanks for help me. I think it was so excellent one multi. SL. Thanks Postman Pat.

Found this with the kids on a trip home from NZ. Loved the multi and even chatted with Mrs Postman Pat. Kids thought that was a blast! TFTC

We got our mail today and enjoyed a chat with said owner. See JABs Kid 1 log for more details.

TFTC, took travel bug and will hopefully move it along a fair way soon.

This cache would have to be totally unique. We were about to take the TB for a ride but then noticed it wasn't to leave the area.
Thanks Postman Pat

Enjoyed this one ...nice original hide...thanks for the cache Postman Pat, sorry you were not in but we met your wife.

A great cache! The second find for the day with 'Gowza'. TFTC

232 - Found with 'BGowza' after suffering disappointment at the hands of 'Thunderbirds'!! This is a really cool cache! I love the idea...and highly recommended. Took: Fraggle TB, Left: Geo-Swag TB

Rearranged my tight schedule to get out & do this one. It was a bit of fun & I met the owner Postman Pat. Great cache, highly recommended.
PG06 would LOVE this one.

I'm glad caches don't bite because the first waypoint would have bitten me twice before I finally spotted it. I didn't bother coming inside because I had just left you at home after the event but I did wave to you through the camera.

Great cache thanks.

These are the sort of multi that a Router likes, nice and quick,cool idea for a cache, thanx for the cache

signed log after rest of crew did the hard parts...

Located this one with the help of Maverick4x4 and Pesky, and in the presence of the cache owner.

What a great idea.

TFTC

Thanks for help to Mrs Pat the Postman. Great idea for a cache. Dropped off Fraggle TB took nothing TFTC SL

Bill and Diana

Got to meet Postman Pat & his beloved, had a bit of a problem with the key in the box but soon sorted out thanks to Ron, great idea, TFTC!! Handed over Rainbow Bridge Geocoin, it should get a real workout in Australia now!

What a great little cache, and especially more so as I took Geo GF and here Niece and mother to show them, Geo GF niece's was a little confused at what I was calling treasure but she got it in the end, the Geo GF mum on the other hand just thinks I am that little bit weirder, and that was us scratching around for 5 mins and talking up a storm at the post box

Niece took the cub scout badge and we left an Army man and Dinosaur, I wnted to get an easter egg to bring into Postman Pat but we couldn't find any close by and had to get to the movies with the Geo GF and Niece.

BTW Inkheart is not a bad movie at all

Found with Bezerker, my little niece and mum.

Found on way home from working in Tamworth...

Once Muggle traffic deminished it was easy...

What an ingenious form of a cache.....

Had a quick chat with Pat (Thanks for the Hint for Postcodes cache).

TNLNSL (no geokids in tow)

Thanks for a unique form of a cache..

an old chook visited

Nice easy little multi, weroamin had the key in no time and log was found and posted.

weroamin had a birthday today so it was good to have an easy little multi find. Very clever Postman Pat, although I did terify the spiders at the water meter before I went to valuable resource. TFTC TN left token.

Found with Shell_seeker. This is my most favourite cache I have done in my short time in the caching sport. I haven't seen anything this different or creative.

We also got the chance to meet the Postman Pat family and learn about the other caches in the tamworth area that are on the Geocaching Australia site.

TFTC Postman Pat!!!

Found with matt_stomper. A fun cache. Met postman Pat and his whole family as they were coming home for a swim. We must have looked like obvious cachers as he stood by the car and waited for us to get out to say hi!! TFTC

Nice easy find, here on holiday from NZ. Showing rellies what this is all about. The kids enjoyed this one. thanks Postman Pat.

We stopped to cache all the way from Brisbane to Bathurst and we have to say this cache was the most enjoyable and most memorable of the two day trip. A "must do" cache for any geocachers travelling the New England highway.
We left the cache a lot less crowded than we found it by exchanging small TBs for large ones. We also called on Postman Pat and Mrs PP and enjoyed sharing a few geocaching stories. Thanks Postman Pat for a great experience.

Dropped off Winter TB to keep Pinto's company.

Found with a little assistance from Postman Pat and Mrs PP. Chewed the fat with them for a while as we watched the passengers over at the train station with the broken down 'Exploder Express'. A lovely village which I had not ventured into before. Pat very correctly pointed out that the joy of geocaching is getting to see some of the locals favourite spots and I look forward to visiting some more of his hides in the near future.

Took geocoin and left Pinto TB. Many thanks Pat and Mrs PP.

after going past this cache so often I've decided to log it

We worked out the precious resource, but were concerned about poking around in what may have been a private area. A chat with Mrs Postman Pat put us at ease, and we easily found key and worked out cache location. Took TB left Rain poncho. Thanks for the Cache!

An easy find after working out the clues. The number of choices was limited.

TFTC

Arrived before the Postman knocked, gathered the information, deducted VERY quickly what P.O. Box the key was to fit, as the possibilities where few.
Took Scouts badgs and left Marbles.
A nice easy find and a break in the journey from Tamworth to Surfers Paradise.
TFTC

XC on the hunt before catching plane back to Sydney to retun to NZ... Had a few spare hours so came up this way.
An interesting concept I didn't at first catch on to... XC is not the sharpest today after a busy week.
I went into post office and spoke to Mrs postman and she gave me some hints... THen I still didn't cotton on to part of the instructions and tried 100 before she took pity on me.. Lol... Duh... Nice idea...
Signed the log and discovered TB in residence.
Thanks for the cool cache and Thank you Mrs PP for the hints..
TFTC #674

Spoke to Mrs Pat in person, Mr Pat by phone. Located cache. Certainly an original idea. Thank you.

What a great cache, very novel and very enjoyable. Dropped off Stinky Skunk TB. Unfortunately we couldn't locate a telephone book to do the research for Postman Pat's other cache. TFTC.

Cache was being attended too when we arrived so waited until it was all rehidden before solving with a lot of help from GOTG.

Postman Pat and GOTG were at home so had a nice yarn with them. Always wonderful to meet other cachers and even more so at their own cache!
This is a wonderful idea for a cache and really well done. We absolutely loved it. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping off for this one.

Thanks Postman Pat and GOTG! Hope you get to meet many other cachers this way.

I have done it a lot of times but didn't put it in the book.(Helping people find dads Cache)

What a great cache! Had a quick yak with Mrs Postman Pat as Pat himself must of been out hunting tupperware? Best cache in the 3 week adventure. TFTC Postman Pat

We thought this was a great cache. We went inside and met Mrs and Miss Postman Pat - Mr Postman was at home. With the aid of Miss Postman Pat we had the cache in a jiffy.
The printouts for others in the area were great too as we hadn't even thought to look up the Aussie site. We took the bell and left a TB.

great cache , thanks for this one !

Found on the way home from the Goald Coast. We realy loved this cache. A great one thanks Postman Pat, it was a lot of fun.Ps we didnot see the TB LagunaHawk's Alien Racer #3 in the cache but we could have missed it if it was pushed to the back. We poped in to say Hi but we must have just missed you, Thanks again.

Hi postmanPat.

Not that hard at all really and a good cache hide. Also nice to meet Postman Pat and have a brief chat. TFTC Took two TB's for further travel. Thanks Pat

A must do cache for anyone in the area, don't be put off by it being a multi it can be done quickly for the traveller in a hurry or really enjoyed if you have an extra minute. I took the extra time and after logging a really cool cache dropped in and meet Postman Pat. I was really pleased I did as we chatted about caching and I got a some really good ideas for my caching trip home. Thanks "Postman Pat" I had heaps of fun, just wait till I tell my kids who I meet on my travels.

My wife decided on a spur of the moment trip down to visit some friends in the area.....6 hours later we were here. Cold & wet, two things we're not used to in QLD, but great to see. I really liked this cache and managed to find it quite quickly. Unfortunately the Post Office was closed today, so I couldn't say G'Day to Postman Pat. Maybe next time we're in the area you'll be open.
TFTC
Grabbed Geocoin

This is a great cache and well worth a visit for anyone travelling through. The cache was stuffed full of goodies so we couldn't fit in the TB we had so we dropped off the roadrunner coin instead. Thanks to Postman Pat - the second of his post themed caches we did today.

I have been here before and left a note but that predated the actual cache, came today and completed the log. Took Pen Left Caltex Bag. Swapped TB for a Geocoin.

TFTH

Just a Note to drop off travel bug

We were nearly going to pass on this one but decided to do it. We are very glad that we did. We think this would be one of, if not, the most unique caches around. We even popped our head in the door and said hello to the postman.

Thank you for a great cache

Thanks to Mrs Postman Pat, The need to find the key was explained and found after a little look. Checked the box and signed the log TKS TNLN

Found this cache and enjoyed meeting Postman Pat. It was very hot in the area of the first way point so we wern't so efficient in finding it but once to hand the second way point was very easy. Left a geocoin to start its travels.

Great meeting you Ron and this is a fun cache to do.

This is an excellent cache. Nice idea and nice Cachecontainer
We have been there 3 times, 1 for find the cache, 1 for get a forgotten cache-description and 1 more for introducing another muggle.
out: latern
in: green thing
greetz tobey and friends

Had been in Tamworth for the festival so called by to do this and a few others on the way back to Brisbane.
Thanks for the cache and the chat Postman Pat.
Hope to see you out and about some other time.
Took: Geocoin
Left: Purple frog

A great location for a cache, got a lot of valuable information about the area from Postman Pat and some printouts of new caches he has set up in the area.
Thanks Postman Pat & wife hope to catch up with you again soon.

Needed some help from the Local Postman to make the find as I was still searching with old coordinates. Great to meet another local Geocacher. A very inventive cache. TNLN. Thanks Pat.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 31° 03.505 E 151° 03.306
Distance From Old: 214.2 feet
I Had the fact that the coordinates where still for the old location so edited to get them right

I have found a new hiding spot

Ok, trust Telstra to prove me wrong and muggle this one [:o]
Temporarily I hope

disabled due to telstra removing first way point I will find a new waypoint postion asap

Found with some help from Mrs Pat. I arrived to find the postoffice had moved [:o]
Just across the street though
A really fun little cache. It was a bit difficult to be stealthy opening the cache with the cowbell inside (which I promptly dropped to attract more attention from passer bys)
Phew it will be hard for people to muggle this one though.
Thanks Postman Pat for a great little diversion off the highway [^]

Found with some help from Pat! TNLNSL.

Great idea for a cache.

TFTH.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Clever idea. Dropped in at 4pm to have a chat with Postman Pat. Left Cow Bell (as it is in the country) took torch, thanks PP. Then went off to find another nearby GCA cache.

Great idea - knew from the start where to go. Kids loved it too. Took dice, left souvenir canada pens. TFTC

Was hoping for a FTF, but was beaten by Wingaap. Great hide. Left a treasury casino dice and took Rocky for a trip. TFTH.

Passing through enroute to Wagga. Added bonus to pick up a FTF on 'foreign' soil

Also...additional bonus...it was great to meet up with another cacher. Loved the concept

Picked up the FTF 'prize'....an Australian Geocoin

In: Portable chess set
Out: Bronze Jeep

Many thanks

and I was just there [xx(], Next time then. Did you get my message .

Dropping of Rocky If he is still in cache I Will take him when
I cache next .
