Description
The Big T is where caughtatwork was caughtatwork for many, many years. Finding a smaller part of the Big T will show you caughtatwork's 34th cache.
With the increase in number of mobile telephones the world over the incidence of these items is decreasing. Nonetheless, when you are really looking for one you either find 20 all together or not one for miles and miles.
Your challenge (should you accept) is to locate the one where this cache lies, grab it, make your log and rehide it somewhere else.
Please feel free to log this cache up to 10 times as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until someone else has hidden it before you can log it as a find again.
There are some simple guidelines:
- When you grab the cache please rehide it again the same day or at the latest within 24 hours.
- Rehide the cache attached to another one of these objects. The further away the merrier.
- Log your find here as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.
- When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box.
This allows the software to automatically update the new location.
Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm
You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes.
Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them. - Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood.
Exceptions to this guideline are possible, but please (please) do not leave the cache overseas.
Please contact me first if you wish to take this cache overseas.
When you get permission to take the cache overseas, you may log it multiple times without another find in between. - Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.
Then run away as fast as you can.
Enjoy.

I have another cache sitting here all ready to go.
I'll send it across as soon as I find the address to send it to.
Hopefully next week.
Yes, I have been slack and I'm sorry.

This one keeps popping up on my list, but from the logs it looks like it's been lost in action. I was in the area so I checked the box at the listed coords and another down the road, but nothing there. It's been almost 5 months now, so perhaps we should consider archiving this cache, or releasing a replacement.

Itwould appear from looking at the map on our gps, that we have indeed posted a dodgey set of co-ords! The gps(a borrowed one at the time) picked co-ords that are in fact a significent distance from the actual gz. So until I can get there to re-mark the spot, a guestimate is on Pulteney St, between South Tce and Gilles St. With approx co-ords of S34 56.071 E138 36.385. Those whom know what sort of 'structure' it is attached to, will be able to locate it easily when in the vicinity.
Sorry about that! We'll get there soon, may not be before the New Year though, got a Bub due on 3rd Jan.

From the cache description:
With the increase in number of mobile telephones the world over the incidence of these items is decreasing.
I didn't expect them to remove the cache as well.
If it's missing, don't stress, I'll make up another one and send it across to someone.

Maybe the 'spot' I have hidden it has been removed? As a particular national company has been removing these 'spots' recently! I haven't been down that road for a bit, since I've been on leave! I can't/won't be there till at least Wed next week. Sorry. Good luck setsojoku.

After enjoying a meal with snowone at a nearby restaraunt we went to find this but had no luck as the coords put us at the same spot shown in the online map (corner Unley/Greenhill rds) but there is no big T hiding spot there (except a plastic junction box) , the closest one (about 60metres away on Unley rd) yielded nothing either.
This cache could do with checking by the last hider.

Saw this bob up nearby, so grabbed on my way to work. Stopped by Alex's Map Shop. WHere he grabbed it and logged. I grabbed it back to go and place in a suitable location around the corner. BUT alas there was only a square metre of fresh gravel! So now it is in the square mile of Adelaide!

It's definitely not where I left it in that phone box. Out of sight and up high as it wouldn't stick to that one. Hopefully has been grabbed and not logged yet, definitely nobody was watching when I hid it there.

Will check it tomorrow on the way to or from work! It's about 1.5km from home where I left it.

It's in quite good shape even after travelling all that distance.
Please don't go looking for it at these co-ordinates, it's not there.

Found the cache still in the same position as where I left it. Funny that no one came to find it. Will remove it now and bring it back to home soil in Australia. (I may be breaking the rules to be a second find in a row but if I don't do it then it may be here forever. Will add the new coordinates when I place it back in Adelaide next week.

Found a "smaller part" of the Big T outside a "medium part" of the Big T and right next door to a location the Facit-Family visit often, especially during the summer non-rating season

Saw this had been placed near home with Return to Sender, so took off this morning to retrieve both. Looked in the usual spot to grab it but nothing there. Then had a proper look and found it well hidden. Trying to re-hide it created some problems:
1. As Team_Diesel said it is hard to find a location where both this and Return to Sender can be placed - which I wanted to do.
2. There are different types of objects to hide The Big T and regardless of item 1 above, I couldn't find one that was exactly the same as the one that I retrieved it from. This means that the container isn't as well hidden as I had hoped for.
Thanks C@W.
