Due to the fact that we are leaving the area, and this is a high maintenance cache, I will archive it and open the space for others to use.

Out and about on Xmas day and going caching.
I am enjoying a long walk around this park on a hot Xmas day.
I am now making the return trip along the beach side.
I forgot this one was here. I have not the necessary equipment. So off I headed.
Then I found just what i needed and back I went.
It is also my #200 puzzle cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Piece of cake seen several of these around the country. TFTC

Nice job with the cache, came prepared and easily completed. TFTC

Nice cache, retreiving was easy if you come prepared. TFTC Fuddley

TFTC! Very clever idea, takes a little bit of thinking. Found two wonderful dead crows next to it. Oh well, was fun anyway, TNLN

-BB

Found a dead bird in close proximity to GZ. Apart from that a very clever cache. TFTC Fuddley

Had to come back for this one as we had technical difficulties with the phones the other day and didn't have the co-ords keyed into the GPS. I really like this cache container! Had an idea of how to work it before getting to GZ. Easy as! TFTC Fuddley!

Wow!! This has been a favourite for me! Well done TFTC

Well another innovative and ingenious cache - we certainly had fun retrieving this one in a lovely environment on a beautiful sunny day which we are making the most of as our holiday draws to a close. [^] TFTC Team Fuddley yet again for all the thought and effort you all put into your so many fantastic caches.

Another fantastic cache yet again by Team Fuddley. We loved this cache hide. Thanks so much for your efforts with all your hides. TFTC Team Fuddley

A great hide, love this idea.

Ran out of what we needed and had to improvise TFTC

Nice easy find on a birding walk

A day of discovering more of the scenic areas surrounding Bundaberg. We loved the views of the sea, the tropical plants and tranquil scenery. The caches have been so creative and well maintained and both fun and challenging to find. We have done this sort of cache before and think they are really clever. Good location well away from everyone.
Thanks to Fuddley.

Found straightaway but had to walk away to think about it - we worked it out as we walked away but ended up back there whilst looking for next cache. Very innovative. Loved it. TFTC

Accidently logged a trackable, Spike, at this cache. He was placed in Turtle Walk.

Very interesting & fun

Very cool cache. Retrieved with ease at 0130 in the freezing cold! On the way out we saw an eel in the creek! Thanks for the cache!

Hey the cache is still intact in position (as I can gather) but the top two zip ties are broken.

I didn't have a clue what to expect but this was outstanding! Thanks Fuddley. A favourite from me.

Followed the instructions went at low tide took the necessary gear to retrieve the cache and soon had it logged and returned to the hiding place.

Great hide, looked forward to getting to this one, and had the right retrieval equip on board. TFTC

We will remember his cache fondly for a very long time for two reasons. Firstly it was out 1000th cache and secondly for the angry arachnid that emerged from the camo as we raised the cache.
Thanks Fuddley for a great cache.

I got a feeling that we approached this one the wrong way, but the grassy track ended up leading us close by ... luck it was low tide though . We soon had the container in our sights, and knew exactly what to do with it after reading the description earlier in the day . In no time at all, we were adding our name to the log and moving on to the next one.
We had heard of caches like this before, but this is the first one we have had the pleasure of finding . All working ok, and log is dry. Thanks again Fuddley

Oops! didn't have the necessary equipment until Mrs. k emptied her handbag.
Improvisation paid off here. Log a bit damp. Great cache.

Although it took as a while to find the right approach to this one, it was well worth it. Enjoyed the challenge which we had thought through before approaching the cache. Dannza had a unfortunate but hilarious issue with her bag due to placement when we had finished retrieving the log. Thanks Fuddley its caches like these that add a real spice to the sport. Added a moisture sachet and a waterproof log.

Great find, great container but please note exit section when placing geo bag on ground. These kinds make caching great and interesting more then usual.TFTC

Geo Dad had worked out the extraction method on this one before we got there, but let geo son do the honors. Very clever hide in a beautiful location. The entire family played on the beach at sunset which was lovely. Thanks Fuddley, we have given your cache a favourite point. Log book is very wet and could only just write on it.

Found it with Aussiemates on a day where there was no shortage of H2O everywhere! We had suspected what this may be, though still admired the cleverness of it. TFTC

Thought we had it figured out before we got there - and we did. I'd seen a documentary about Chimps or Orangutans performing problem solving activities and solving this particular puzzle in the same manner. Love the cache - well done.

Great cache tftc

No probs with retrieval, just needed to get home before dark

TFTC

cool i was prepared

Found It

From your clues we had it worked out before we got there but still a favourite vote from us.

Loved watching muggle nephew trying to work out how to do this one, it was a good laugh! TFTC

Log a little damp but ok. Dad broke my biro sticking it in the hole before I enlightened him with a better extraction method.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We came prepared, and after a nice walk in along the beach, the cache was quickly located and the logbook extracted

TFTC Team Fuddley

Gaz'n'Kab

I have heard of this type of hide, but this was my first time doing one. Gaz'n'Kab, Fangsoki and I all found our seperate ways to the cache, Gaz being very proud of finding the quickest. I had the equipment on hand and did the honours. Great spot and a great cache hide TFTC.

I was sure we should have been able to access this cache directly from where we parked the car, but definitely the easiest way is a lovely walk along the beach and then head up stream. It was so picturesque here today on a lovely sunny morning. A man fishing was trying his luck. We had good luck and found the cache quickly only to find we'd carted in much more than we needed. Better too much than not enough, although it's not too far for more if needed. Thanks for a very pleasant caching experience Fuddley. It was lovely walking up by the stream.

Captain Terror, Kab, and I made our life a misery getting to this one - while the smug Gaz found a better way to GZ. We found the cache after a small hunt and Captain Terror did the honours. With the cache, retrieved and signed, we put it all back together and moved on. Good job on the construction on this one. TFTC Team Fuddley

Cool cache!!

Quick find and easy retrieval thanks to clues. Cache is in good condition but log is quite damp. TNLN SL TFTC

Clever hide, we just had enough of the necessary to retrieve the log.SL TFTC

Staying out at Moore Park Beach for a few days with friends and today was Bushfire’s caching day and this was the twelfth cache found today.
This was not on my list of finds today but was on the GPS so not knowing that it was a mystery I checked it out but not having read the cache notes did not what was required. On arrival at GZ it did not take long to figure what was I had to do and set about solving it.
I have found a cache very similar but much bigger than this guy so this was a walk in the park but I liked the cache as it was different so it gets a favorite.

Thanks again Fuddley for another cache that I have found of yours I think that's 25.

7th find for the day with the help of the Kevlyn clan. Very clever was pretty easy to figure out from the logs on what to do. The log is damp but I was still able to log my visit. TFTC

very clever......i'm glad a REALLY read the long description! TNLNSL TFTC

Being somewhat new to geocaching I have tried to think up new and unusual ways to hide a cache. I had thought of something very similar to this one so after reading the clues we were well prepared for the mystery and arrived at GZ with all the necessary equipment. I like this cache even though they stole my idea before I even had a chance to think of it TFTC

Popped out to day to check on this one, as it was reported that the cache was stuck. removed 2 sticks from within the hide and all now works as intended.

Please don't try to use sticks to retrieve this cache, read the notes and think about your options, it really is quite easy to get out.

Found this one at 1402hrs. Clued onto its secret quickly but try as I might, no amount of coaxing could make the container come to greet me - even when it was full. I'll be back with some more robust tools to sign the log and see if I can't fix the problem so future cachers don't have the same problem I did.

This cache was unique!.Lucky we read the hints! Most ingenious. Actually the GPS insisted we went to this cache while we were looking for another in the same vicinity, which incidentally we did not find! Well done Team Fuddley*****[^]

An easy find, A very clever hide. Had to adapt some tools to retrieve the log.
Take insect repellent.
Lovely little spot for a swim. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. A very clever thought provoking idea. Enjoyed the challenge. The ants like the cache as much as we do.[^]

Hmm, was fairly certain what was needed for this cache (having done similar ones in the past) but of course, didn't have the required equipement when we hopped out of the car!!! Luckily (and I don't think I've ever said that before) some inconsiderate muggles left me what I was sure I would need at the carpark.

Got to GZ and enjoyed watching the borrowed geokiddies attempt to work it out. They got there with a few prods, and despite there being no swaps, thay decided that it was a cool cache anyway (high praise indeed for a no swap cache!!!).

Thanks for this one, enjoyed by all.

Found on a good day caching in the area. A nicely set up cache which worked well once I found it although the coords were good. Thanks to Team Fuddley for the cache.

great seat up like 2 c them tftc

Thanks team Fuddley for this great cache,
had all the gear required to complete the mission.
(Find number 4 to day)

had a bit of trouble with this as arrived to find did not have co-ords loaded in GPS. Rang Modelbears who helped us out. Love the concept. TFTC.

I hadn't read up on this one & al the boys kept talking about 'equipment' - I just went along and soon it became apparent just what equipment was needed - strangley enough with ALL this talk NOT 1 of them bought the neccessary equipment & my supplies were releived of me when all eyes turned to look at what was in my hand - so I could do nothing but Sacrifice fo rthe better good
TFTC Mr Fuddley - I loved this one - would love to do this on the GC

A cache that was a lot of fun to do. In the company of Ghostgums, Agap and Pigwig we applied the correct procedures and soon had the prize.
A great spot so we took off a bit further down to track down a couple of other nearby caches. TFTC.

This was our first find for today, after setting off after breakfast with bedmaker. pigwig2 and agap2.

I had the kids in tow, so by the time I got there the others had the cache and were making the neccessary preparations. Watched as bedmaker, using pigwig's supplies, done the neccessary adjustments needed to retrieve the cache. Log signed and we were off to the next one.

Has given me an idea for a future cache though.

TFTC

Once again our group this morning was Bedmaker, Ms Wig, Mr Gums and myself plus the mini gums.

Ms Wig was a little confused as to why we were carrying all this extra stuff

We headed over to the "obvious" approach, only to find us doing a bit of a bush bash through long grass.

Mrs Gums held back with the mini gums while we went in to find the cache.

Found it OK... but now what to do?? luckily we had the right "equipment" and figured out the best method.

Cache was soon in hand and we admired the simple ingenuity of this design.

Thanks Fuddleys for bring this creation across the ditch.

Found (13:44) today in company of youngoldfella....

Nice walk through the bush to locate this cache having just completed the 2 Turtle walk caches...

Very novel cache idea...

As well as cache numbers we are racking up km's of walking today

TNLNSL

Thanks Team Fuddley for the cache

We have heard tales about this cache since it was put here so we are now pleased to log it as a find.
Thanks Team Fuddley

intenal container and log book replaced, all set to go again, you will however need your own pencil now

First to log in the new log book. Does that count Loved the surprise of this cache although we did come prepared for what we thought it might be. Startled a multitude of small blue crabs while getting to this cache. Its amazing how quick they just disappear. Thanks for the interesting cache.

Log book soaked & crystals u/s
Contents need to be replaced

Clever concept which I might have to introduce to NSW (or at least my patch of it).
Unfortunately the log book was absolutely soaked & the crystals had given up the fight.
We were unable to sign the log but loved the cache & the area.

Staying at Mon Repo camp ground for the weekend, so this one was on the list, Great cache
very clever. TFTC

Staying at Mon Repos for the aust day weekend with Ollys & Storkers..........this was on the hit list. Great gizmo............amazed no one has taken it and used for other purposes................nice

Well done

Oh, what a clever cache – obviously someone with too much time on their hands thought of this A very good way to make people more aware of what to take on walks. We see so many ill prepared walkers on our travels TFTC

Nearly didn’t have enough to solve this cache. Especially with that booby trap in the bottom of it. Managed to retrieve the goods. TN/LN/SL and dried out the container as it had a bit of water in it. Also gave you a new zip lock bag as the original one was shot to hell. A fun cache we laughed about for some time. Thank you.

We'd been looking forward to this cache as it sounded interesting, and it didn't disappoint.TFTC

We found this cache very easily but decided that it had been muggled and the log book was missing.
We weren't prepared to give up so easily and quickly realised the cleverness of the hide.
We hadn't read the cache notes before so we had arrived at GZ without anything more than a couple of GPSrs. However, the GeoPilots have always been good improvisers and we had the necessary items in next to no time.
This cache amused us and we enjoyed it very much. TNLN TFTC

A really peaceful, serene spot at 6:00 am this morning - until I moved out of the breeze, the sandflies found me, and I started the 'slap dance'. Cache was good fun - I had a fair idea of what was needed from the cache description, and we have a children's story that employs the same principle. TFTC Team Fuddley.

found this one on holidays

Found at 3.20pm GAFF1. A lovely location and a clever puzzle, however we were onto it after reading into the clues in the cache page and also recalling a similar cache in Bendigo, Vic. A well constructed version.
Thanks Team Fuddley.

Good design TFTC

Carried a water bottle as recommended. It was a hot day so I'd drunk half of the water before arriving at GZ !! TFTC

It's always good to have a challenge. The tide was in my favour today and the cache was retrieved at 0655hrs.

TFTC

Fortunately I'd read the listing and some logs beforehand, so had an inkling of what would be involved and came prepared. Found the cache after a bit of a hunt around the area, then applied the necessary item to retrieve the logbook. Good fun, and I liked the design .

TNLN - Thanks Team Fuddley!

Nice cache, very good idea.
Thanks

Found nice good one cache and the log bit damp.Thank you for organising the cache and hunt!!

T.F.T.C

While we were out today we replaced the damp log so it is good to go again, unfortunately with this sort of cache a damp log will be common place (we may have to invest in write in the rain paper)

Loved this one. Great hide Team Fuddley.
Lucky I had two of the suggested items with me.
The logbook was wet. Don't know how.
TFTC

I am still not sure what two items would have got me the cache, but was successful without too much trouble and no damage done. Pretty tricky little device. Thanks for the cache.

Great cache - enjoyed the idea. A nice easy find. TFTC

Yes location easy to find, had to think about this one, Thanks for the challenge. TNLN

took was a little bit of finding...but we found it...log book is a bit damp and there were a few ants in it...TFTC

I seem to be able to find the longest and most difficult way to a cache - like this one! But eventually I found it and the bush slogging was worth it. A great cache. Thanks Team Fuddley.

This is cool, cool, cool. The geokids were so impressed - in fact beyond impressed. Especially when MrMad removed an important part of the whole procedure at the end and he was standing in the wrong spot. But never mind - good on you- this is an amazing idea for a cache - one which we might have to duplicate down in the big smoke. The log book is slightly damp maybe someone did not put the cache back the right way. Thanks for a cool cache- we were impressed.

Great cache.

My caching mate back in Canberra has a hide just the same, so while I was up here for Christmas I had to give this one a go. GPS took me straight to the GZ, then using the equipment I brought with me, the cache was soon in hand.

Log was signed and cache replaced.

Thanks for the fun.

Cheers,

(We did not find this cache the first time, but i went back a second with my sister and found it. I think its a great system you've got working there.)

Hints:
The geocache is along the path coming up from the beach and is hanging of a sheoak/casaurena tree.Just of the path but not too far in. there are two beer bottles undernieth the tree if you forgot a water bottle. Me and my sister forgot ou're water bottle so we found the bottles in the grass

Found at 1645. GPSr Took me straight to GZ. I have never seen one like this before. Followed the instructions and took everything with me in my backpack. Especially the main item. I realised that this item was essential when I saw the Container. TFTC

Rated: for Overall Experience

10.10am. A quick find and because we had followed the instructions an easy pick up. An ingenius idea. Thank you. David and Noeline

This was an excellent Cache team fuddley ..beware of water exit! We were in the company of nodo and no got wet shoes thanks to do
