Found on a lovely Tuesday afternoon after a drive down from Sydney. I'd spent a really long time looking for this one almost a year ago but failed. This time I was into it almost straight away which was nice. This is just around the corner from my friends house where we are stsying so it was a lovely and not too taxing stroll with newbie cacher craftydusty and my 14yo geopooch Mitzi. Thanks for a pleasant afternoon!!

Nice quick find but the geo ass i was with covered me in mud. Thanks for the cache
The weekend had arrived so fitzy_1965 and I decided to head off on a coastal geomission to nab a whole bunch of caches-the drawcard being going for the wander to nab the Abrahams Bosom Reserve series and whatever else we could grab!
Wandered over for the quick find of the clever cache [^]
Thanks for the hide, Lloydelicious

11145. Found during a weekend run down to the coast with specimenX.
After an epic Day 1 of our coast run mainly walking around "Abrahams Bosom" Reserve yesterday, today specimenX and I started early and refreshed for another big day of caching before heading home. Next stop for the day. Parked nearby and wandered in for this one. specimenX made a quick find. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one !
Thanks Lloydelicious !!

Fairly quick find, but almost a quick loss, be careful what you pick up!

I nearly ruined this hide by accident! I was messing around at the hide before I had found the cache and in doing so I unwittingly opened the cache without seeing it. I was about to leave but decided to recheck that one spot... I spotted it because it had fallen open. If I hadn't turned back the cache could have been badly flooded. Good find though, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Awesome cache but be careful we did see a brown snake about 2 metres from us while there!
Our last for this part of town. We followed the roads around until we could go no further, parked and walked over to GZ. We soon spotted the likely feature and after a short search spotted the nice bit of camo to make the find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Looked for a while around the pole. Even lifted it out at one stage.. Eventually stumbled across the right bit and was able to get the log out to sign. Found with ham228. Tftc!
Found with Jim1213. Took a while as we were too focused on the large yellow log! Tftc.
We've been camped on the south coast for a few days and as the day warmed up we ventured out to find our nearest cache. Driving nice n close we started searching in the obvious spots but then found we had to think a little harder. It was then than mini rat stumbled upon this one.
Thanks
Thanks
We had to do a take two on this one as the first drive by coincided with some muggles taking a stroll. On the return visit it was a quick find based on very good coordinates and a familiarity with the cache type. Well done Tftc
The fifth find for the day whilst out at Berrara. I parked as close as I could to GZ and then made my way over to GZ where I spotted the hide quickly. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC Lloydelicious!

Currently staying at Swanhaven Tourist park so squeezed in some mourning caching.
Followed the cacher trail to have CIH quickly, photo taken as I didn't bring pen with me on the walk. Thanks for the hide Lloydelicious

The first part of our 6-week-journey in Australia took us from Sydney to Melbourne and also led us to this hiding place.
Thanks for hiding it

Found it, although GPS kept on trying to send me into the bush away from GZ. TFTC TNLN
This is the sort of location for a cache we like. Plenty of good bush about and wildflowers to find This one would be easy to miss A good one TFTC Garnets
Renewed the log, no sign of any wasps. Remember to bring a pen and tweezers could be useful.
It is not necessary to move the pole to find the cache. Please recap and replace carefully. Good hunting!

Quick park n grab. Beware of the wasps at bottom of post they really hurt. Probably wouldn't of found this micro if not for wasp sting!

First find on a hot and sunny wander around the area. The hint and the location had us scratching our heads a bit, but eventually it all made sense. Also, WOW! Forgotten just noisy cicadas can be. TFTC
Yay, this was a little quicky for us, with Princess Akubra scoring the find. Nice camo ... but needs maintenance, the log is soaking. Still we managed to delicately unfurl it to record our visit. SL, TNLN, TFTC Lloydelicious
Wow after much searching we were about 2 give up a local bije rider advised us to just look down!! Very sneaky!! Didny know they came so small!!
Sneaky little thing! I think I would probably have found it on my own given enough time, but it was nearly time to head home and I had a previous finder with me, so had to ask for help after a short while. Nice work on the camo! TFTC.
Thought I knew what to look for, but eventually decided I was wrong. After much head-scratching I eventually spotted it. Never seen one like this before, so I reckon it's worth a favourite.

Grabbing some caches in the area on a beautiful spring day. Having seen several caches like this before and after reading previous logs I was soon on target. Sneaky. SL..TFTC
this on had me baffled for a bit, lifting , turning and twisting, after having a closer look spotted something that tuned out to be the cache. TFTC
Replaced log due to water damage as container had not been properly recapped. All good now, don't forget to bring a pen or pencil to record your find here. Lloydelicious
Searched and searched and searched today with pop eye II and had no success. However we will return as defeat is not an option!
We're not having much luck today.
Will return when the caching gods can be more friendly towards us.
Thanks for the adventure Lloydelicious.

Took me a lot longer then expected but as I had the place to myself I succeeded in the end! Very sneaky!

Very sneaky, almost gave up.
Had my bike parked ON GZ when a friendly neighbour
assured me I was on the right track and I found it.

Owner hasn't been on-line for 6 months. Cache hasn't been found in a similar amount of time, eventhough a more difficult cache 200m away has been found recently a number of times. Feel certain this one has gone.
I reckon this one has gone to heaven or hell. All others in area found very recently, but not this one. Guess DNF's are not being logged. Searched area thoughly including taking post out of the ground.
Didnt even get to try this one out.. I got within 50m and there was people burning stuff approx where GZ is.. So I left it to search another day! =)
Like the Fox prior to me, I too spotted the muggle with a bonfire not too far from GZ, but undeterred, I ventured onwards, the fact that I was driving the box on wheels coming back from a work call further south giving me a plausible excuse for my presence (and I spotted a potential customer on the way in). In the end I had no need to be worried, as I was far enough away from the muggle and shielded by the wheeled box from inquisitive eyes, and the search was very short. Thanks Lloydelicious for a clever little cache
Rated: for Overall Experience
It was chucking it down when we did this one so we were glad we could drive right up to it. A nice hide!

Visit today with some ex-muggles (now converted) on their first caching experience. I managed to spot the cache as we approached but I let them look for a while before TheMiniHunter showed them the intricacies of finding a micro. Great cache. Well done Lloydecious. Favourite.
Found with Tuena, and sprung by a group of cyclists (cachers) who promised not to peek as we replaced the cache. This is a cleverly crafted cache, and suits its name very well!

Found in the company of Rock_hopper. Just as we were about to replace it a group of cyclists (cachers) appeared out of the bush & asked whether we' found it. They hadn't & in fairness were asked to turn their heads as it was replaced. Someone didn't. Thanks for a well hidden cache.
