Love the location, the scenery is wonderful.
Nice easy find after negotiating the short slippery slope.
Only two cars in the carpark so I got in without being observed, on exiting, there was two curious muggles under the mahogany trees no doubt wondering why I was coming out of the bushes and not the visitors centre!
TNLNSL.
Thanks for the interesting history.
Nice easy find, exchange geocoins.
Not many muggles at the time, just millions of birds to bear witness to my antics. A photographers paradise.
How times have changed...
In the late 1950's and Early 60's, a freind of my fathers was employed at the rice paddies to shoot the ducks and geese, such were their numbers, they were considered as nothing more than pest's. I remember this man stating that he had shot hundreds of geese nearly every day, the living conditions at the time left much to be desired and the only thing to eat....geese and ducks..."if I so much as get a wiff of roast duck it nearly makes me sick" I remember him saying.
Thankfully people only "shoot" the birds with a camera these days. Wonderful location.
Thankyou.
In addition, anybody interested, a new group has been formed - "Friends of Fogg dam" visit the website for great info on all aspects of the dam. http://www.foggdamfriends.org//index.php

What a lovely place, the scenery again surprises me, for a place that is barely noted or signposted, it really is good and well worth a visit.
A very tricky find after negotiating the maze of roads and then moving the St.andrews cross spiders without hurting them, we eventually found the cache.
While sitting at the Picnic table, the Little grebe's provided entertainment with their antics in the water.
Took Geocoin
Left $2.00 coin from the Cook islands.
Thanks for the cache and the wonderful location.
P.S if anyone plans to visit in the afternoon, take a cool bottle of wine, cheese platter, camera and long lens.

More History. Excellent choice for a cache.
So many rocks - had to be amongst them somewhere. eventualy spotted the un-natural pile "Here it is!: no, look again, more rocks - found it eventually. well hidden.
After the "find" we walked up to the top of the dam wall, in the pool below, we saw a large fat catfish, heaps of fish "longtoms" and one very large Javan file snake, probably the biggest I have ever seen. Bit hard to judge the size from top of damm but I reckon about two meters maximum.
Took nothing
Left Broken crane truck.
Thanks for the entertainment and the rocks.

Love the location - the feds were not there this weekend.
they work weekdays only ?
reccommended for after hours and weekends.
Great spot, very amusing.
Thankyou, Pigbitch.
GZ is very crisp after a recent burn, as noted by "crewimlost2" but the cache is well and truly intact and gettable. The ageing muggles were very curious though!!
We were taking photo's of the contents in the boot of the car.....what the...they were fine after I gave them a helping hand to fix their camera.
World war II History is a wonderful thing and can only gain more followers in the manner of geocaching. well done.
Excellent location
Took Spaceman (intel inside)
Left nice geocoin.
Cheers,
Pigbitch
Great location, good to see the sharing of our rich WWII history.
Took Keyring
Left Sydney Tower spoon.
Thumbs up.

E I E I O
On that farm, we ben findem big blue box.
Im really good one that one.
Love the name and the hidy hole, the ants were pretty freindly, a small flowering Acacia had attracted a heap of black ants that climbed onto my leg as I approched GZ. They all bit me at once, probably knowing that I was going to write some very poor poetry...
Took pink teddy bear
Left Round pink soap, small butterfly and a Brolga sticker.
Great drive, thanks

Good spot for a cache, had to do some running repairs to the cammo, it had fallen off and cache was visible from ten meters !
took geocoin to assist its travels.
Thanks for the cache - Pigbitch.

Great place for a cache, the world war 11 history of Darwin is always a point of interest.
Did a nice coin swap while there.
Thanks for the chance of a history tour and a nice cache.
Cheers,
Pigbitch.
Found it.
The trail of information/clues is really good, well thought out without being too difficult. Still hurt my brain, I actually had to use it a little.
(if I can find it, others will)
The scenery along the way is great, if you are from out of town, take a camera.
my first "first to find"
Loved the challenge, thanks NTSTROM.

great little hidy hole, right under the unsuspecting noses of two muggles when I got there. they were watching a fire that was burning nearby, sky was thick with falling ashes - Cache is not in danger.
everything is still wet, I have placed a new logbook in the box. otherwise, took nothing, left nothing.

Just passing through the area, trusty garmin in hand, bit of time to spare, off we go. I never suspected that such a beutiful view awaited me. What a spectacular little peice of bushland - the mozzies thought so too!
As usual my trusty Garmin took me right to the spot...no cache, hmmm, try again...could not find, bloody trees overhead, re-read the clue, turn off the gps and use my head....that hurts but I did find the cache.
Exchanged geocoins, loved the Gerrald durrel book (catch me a colobus) but had no fair axchenge so I left it there.
Great spot for a cache, Thanks.

Found the cache, nice and easy.
Great location with wonderful views, I have been around Darwin for twenty two years and never been into Charles Darwin National park. it is a new park I realise but a worthwhile visit.
Took Geocoin AUJ7ZA....will log
Left Collectors spoon.
Many thanks
pigbitch.
wonderful place for a walk, found the cache without issue although, it is well hidden.
Forgot to take the insect repellant much to our disgust.
we wanted to sit and read through the logbook, mobbed by mozzies in the middle of the morning - our fault, RID was advised.
Thanks for the cache.

found it after a few minutes, my trusty Garmin seems to work well, led me straight to the spot.
The ants are having a day off, didn't see a single one !
took nothing, left nothing
signed the log book.
Pigbitch
Excellent placement, knife and fork are still there as noted by "NTSTROM"
Contents are also very wet, could not make log entry, books are wet and will probably stick together as they dry.
needs attention
took nothing
left nothing
I am a little confused, I now have two TB's, taken from other sources and to my astonishment, I see them both listed as being in this cache ! I have logged my FIND of TB's from other caches, will check back on these entry's ?
Challenging cache to find despite my confusion.

Great little spot,

took TBW04X - Doohans Australian Trek AUJ7ZA
Left CCQXH1 - MC's international Geocoin #5
