Needs Maintenance and I don't have the time or the means.

Couldn't sign the Log due to Saturation. Needs Maintenance TFTC

Pretty cool exploring the back roads around here. Found quickly as it was out in the open. Their was a puddle of water in the bottom of the container and the log is now un-writable. Time for some maintainence. TFTC cphoenix.

Yeah, as I said in my previous log, there's a puddle in the bottom of the container and the log is un-writable.

Nice area

Really cool cache heaps of goodies inside

Nice hide n pretty location too. Loads of items but we got the last monopoly item. Thank you for the hide, we are really enjoying going on little mini forays whenever we get to a diff area.
Found with thebear422

Nice little cache. sitting right out in the open. put a bit of cover over it when i left though. TFTC!

as we were approaching GZ, our feet kind of sunk in bog and got soaked as it had been pouring the night before.
we ditched the cache and went home

in the dark----easy peasy

Nice easy find as the cache was out in the open. I read the hint and placed it back accordingly but it still seemed quite exposed for a cache that has survive this long.

Thanks.

Found in dark after brief fight with the bush. 2nd last for the day TFTC

Our sixteenth for the day and third for the night. This was a return to extreme caching. Totally pitch black, a bush bash, a hidden swampy bit, and a total disorientation as to where we were and how to get back to the road. How exciting! We looked around by torch light, then Chook spied the hide and Christine found the cache after a mad scramble by all of us. After totally going the wrong way and bashing our way through the bush, we got back to the road exhilarated, and headed home. Great day.

Wasnt hard as previous cacher had left it standing out like dogs balls. S/L and reapplied camo and added extra. TFTC.

Reperio at 1150. Went for a little drive to Bateau Bay today, and took the extended detour to grab this one. Followed the geotrail into GZ where the cache was soon found.

Gratias.

Found while out caching with The Cashman and The Don.

I like the Houses in Park Lane.

A quick find on a HOT Australia Day.

Thanks cphoenix

Found early morning before too many nozzles were awake. Cache was in the open so I hid it a bit. Thanks for this interesting series. I will see how many I can get over the next few days. TFTC

Was driving past park lane and recognized it so I whipped out my iPhone, performed a search and before long, the cache was in my hands TFTC!

Quick find just look for the geopath! We were carried to GZ and back to the Geolux by mozzies. TFTC

mozzies, mozzies, mozzies, lizard, mozies. tftc tnlnsl

easy find once u spot the path!!
tftc tnln

Easy find once making the decision to brave the bush, very glad for the insect repellent.

Quick find after a short hop through the bush. Cache not hidden terribly well, but well guarded by swarms of mosquito ninjas.

Beached a Whale TB here. Was planning to take him further south on his migration, but had to cut the caching day short due to weather.

TFTC!

A very brief stop (mosquitoes!!!) at the end of a day cut short by rain.
Left a Sydney fridge magnet, TNSL. TFTC.

Pretty easy find, although I was hoping none of the neighbours were peering out their windows!

Don't know why it is here.......not a very interesting place.
But the cache was found easily. Very exposed.
Covered it up a bit more.
TNLNSL TFTC

We found this one on a caching weekend on the Central Coast. We followed a car down to the end of the dead end street and once it had driven off we drove back and parked as close to GZ as possible. After a quick walk through a bit of a swampy area we spotted the cache from a bit of a distance away as it wasn't very well hidden. TNLNSL TFTC

A quick find to end the day. Great location even is a bit wet. TFTC cphoenix. [640]

A nice find while in the area visiting friends. TFTC SL

Nice easy find.
Left alaska fridge magnet.
Took 'dogs trust' travel bug.
Muggle from across the road told us she often sees
people going to the cache, so she went in and found
it herself without any clues! We explained the system
vert interested and will join up.

Nice, easy find, thanks!

found by Mara - left travel bug - Dogs trust

Nice hide tftc

Easy find as some of the covering must have blown away, covered it up a bit better before leaving. Thanks

The cache was exposed some what making yhis easy find easier but a good find none the less.Mossies rampid. thanks cphoenix/ bbbandit
No travel bug in cache.

Found

Nice easy find thanks

This was my 1st geocache and i did it with my aunty and uncle. they introduced me to this hobby and i love it. It was a walking distance from home. My aunty and uncle have also logged the visit and their username is scoff-kerrs. It was easy to find but we covered it up quite nicely and now it should be pretty tricky to find.

have fun!

Finally dropped Sydney off an hour and a half North of Sydney. Pleasant country lane near where are staying on a beautiful day. Cache was fully exposed but now hidden again.

Park Lane and Mayfair. They were the "Top Money" properties on my Monopoly board.
We pased Go , collected $200.00 and the cache.
Thanks for letting us play this game with you cphoenix and Bateau Bay Bandit.

Woooohooooo found this one easy enough. Just letting you know there aren't any 'treasures' left just crap really. Took the good luck coin and left a toy, lanyard and city of armidale magnet

No stump for me today

Another quick find after a couple of U turns required after heading down the wrong road at first.
Thanks again cphoenix and Bateau Bay Bandit

2545.

A nice quick find, in fact it took longer to cover the cache than find it!

Thanks cphoenix and Bateau Bay Bandit for the cache.

Passed this one up over summer but came back today and soon found the cache without having to worry about snakes and leeches. The owner of the house over the road checking his mail said that it was very wet along the track but we found it quite dry. Logged our find and rehid with less of the cache showing. TNLN but thanks for the hide.

Drove almost right there. Found it tucked away.

TNLN

Well we found our perfect house down this street, if only we had that much money..... hmmmmm

I should of been a builder, hahahaha

Thanks for the cool cache, it was fun to watch Mrs Madstars do the dash into the bush with only thongs on. Driving away she was complaining of being bitten everywhere.

Thanks

Quite posh here like Park Lane in London but the vegetation is very different! TNLN TFTC and greetings from the UK

I had tried this about a year ago but when I pulled up at GZ the locas were sitting at the front of the house watching me like a Hawk. I decided not to draw attention anymore and drove off without getting out of the car. This time though no one seemed to notice me pull up so I snuck into the bush, found the Cache quick time and was gone in only a few minutes.

Took: TB

Nice easy cache to start the day with. Cheers Gav [3252]

Found with Rediguana, Tofska and ADV on our caching holiday.
Catching up on caches that I missed when logging the trip.

Oops! I walked right past it, luckily the others were a bit more awake.

Team GPS.org.nz Cache Raid: Followed the cacher trail. T4TC, M@

Found with 3yr old 'C'. He chose the items to take and I sent him back to the car (where Daddy 'C' was waiting with a sleeping little 'C'), because the mozzies were eating me alive and I thought they would devour him in a matter of minutes! Left items, signed log and was chased by mozzies out of there.

Took: normal and mini waterpistols, and ball game
Left: Bob the Builder camera, mini LED keyring light

Found this one after taking the wrong track in. Much easier to see from the east than it is from the west.
Took Model12TB, and red "Bateau Bay Bandit"
Left International Airbug exchange Sheep TB.

Came Friday night for some night caching and had no hope in the dark! Came on Sat and found quickly. Took yoyo and left Model 12 rifling geocoin. Thanks for the fun! Woyboys

Chip found this one whilst I was still in the car turning on Gizmo!

Cheers

Found it very easily. I just walked into the bush a couple of meters and spotted it straight away.


Cheers.

Found this one nice and easy with geo son. I was the one that attracted the mozzies though.

Found this one with geo Dad. he copped the mozzies.

Found it ... TN left Chinese Coins

Easy find and the last of 8 for the day. Need to let you know that there are four left.

TFTC

This one had stumped us for a while because the ground had been so wet, but a dry spell made the find easy. Took nothing, left a water pistol. Thanks for the exercise.

A quick find after a little bush bashing. Cache was a little exposed so provided some extra cover. TNLNSL. TFTC.

A nice bushy urban cache!
TFTH

Had fun keeing out of sight of the neighbours. Took nothing, left ladybird. Container seems to have warped a little so difficult to reseal.

This was a real stealth mission at night! Cars and neighbours nearby so had to dim the torch and duck for cover a few times. Found at 20:15 (find #5 today). Not sure what was meant by cache being susceptible to wind but certainly is to water, contents were pretty damp and a lot of water laying around (wear gumboots). Was a bit tricky without the hints and thought I'd found where it "MUST BE", but was wrong, moved on and found another likely hangout and discovered it.. Took an "item" and left something I cannot recall. Thanks for the hunt!

Bateau Bay Bandit and cphoenix are becoming "The Bandit Phoenix" in the near future.
We will be honeymooning in India until the end of October.
If you have troubles with this cache, be patient and we will address your dramas when we return.

Very easy find. Got there early enough to make sure the neighbours weren't outside.

Good Scrubb busting cache thanks for this one

The name said it all!
The flood water level looked as if it went over the cache and the cache was covered in a thin film of mud but it was where it was supposed to be. The contents were dry.
TNLNSL
Thanks for the cache.
Regards Philma.

Found in the pouring rain, so quick log and return to car... Grabbed a note LNSL

Took 2 trips found nothing the first time. Came back again with a more willing participant and found after a short search.

found this one ... ( sigh)

An easy find after a bit of a bush bash. A local dog gave us away as he howled at our entry spot. Watch out for the rusty barbed wire at about shin height, Mrs Nilbog caught herself on a trip wire on the alternate way out. TNLN.

Quite an easy find. Mr Shifter waited in the car while Mrs Shifter searched. Locals that passed gave us inquiring, suspicious looks.
