Next along the path, thankfully it was.nicw. And quiet for a Saturday, I have seen quite a few groups of walkers using this path. Recently took the kids for a splash in the creek (or river technically I suppose) at low tide and that was fun too.Find #12914 @ 09:31ThanksFangsoki for giving us a reason to visit..........@__./|____Y_/__________|\\\_______/_TGQNRV_/-^~-~~-~-^~~--~-~~^~ 
 
Close to home, in fact these new caches are along my riding route which I try to follow a few times a week. I had ambitions of placing a few caches along here but never quite got around to doing so. All were well hidden but easily found by someone who knows where to search.Nicely done Mr Fang, this one certainly is very reminiscent of the original Find #12913 @ 09:26ThanksFangsoki for giving us a reason to visit..........@__./|____Y_/__________|\\\_______/_TGQNRV_/-^~-~~-~-^~~--~-~~^~

Out for a rare opportunity to grab a few finds that have sprung up since last time we visited this area.Quick easy find at this one. As I recall this area floods regularly, hopefully the cache remains safe.Find #12897 @ 08:27ThanksMasterkiss123 for giving us a reason to visit..........@__./|____Y_/__________|\\\_______/_TGQNRV_/-^~-~~-~-^~~--~-~~^~ 
 
Puzzle found and solved ok but 15mins of searching left me empty handed. If it's there it's well hidden

Was thinking how nice this sounds, but sadly we'll be overseas. Merry Xmas

Sadly this irreplaceable cache is missing. It would not do it justice to replace with a sistema so I am instead archiving with a heavy heart

Back to avenge a previous DNF. Windy conditions had the tiny container wiggling just enough that I could spot it.Find #12894 @ 12:25ThanksMuggle65 for giving us a reason to visit..........@__./|____Y_/__________|\\\_______/_TGQNRV_/-^~-~~-~-^~~--~-~~^~ 
 
Needed some googling and guesswork to get a yes from the checker, then a wander to try and spot a friendly monotreme. We loved learning more about these at Beaconsfield in Tassie where you could get pretty close to platypus and echidnas. Fun fact when they wiggle their bills around in the mud and gravel, they have their eyes closed!I think I had my eyes closed, took quite a while to locate the container.

An impromptu cache day, was only driving around to get out of the house, they have our street closed for resurfacing works. So I didn't have my good boots on, just some old slides, and was wary about bushbashing but it's pretty easy to navigate through here. A quick look around and soon spotted it Find #12896 @ 13:09Thankstuppens for giving us a reason to visit..........@__./|____Y_/__________|\\\_______/_TGQNRV_/-^~-~~-~-^~~--~-~~^~

Forgive me Father, it has been over 1 year since my last FTF.Saw this one come out and decided to jump on it. No problems solving then the drive in slow arvo traffic. No problems finding the container.FTF #360 Find #12893 @ 16:57ThanksMasterkiss123 for giving us a reason to visit..........@__./|____Y_/__________|\\\_______/_TGQNRV_/-^~-~~-~-^~~--~-~~^~

Solved the puzzle after watching a movie nearby with the family, but didn't have the car with the pole in it, so a return visit was in order.

Took a wander then found the container. Pole was at full extension but still managed ok

Spent half an hr searching before getting a headache and realising I have better things to do with my precious time on this earth, like watching paint dry, or filing my tax return Smile
Maybe another time 
 
Seems these are getting higher and higher, the one I just DNFed recommended using binoculars to spot it which suggests things are getting a little silly perhaps!

Anyways wanders around and around looking here looking there. Finally spotted then retrieved ok, but returning was always going to be the issue, with pole at full extension and the pendulum effect causing a little movement down here making a big movement up there.

Its a busy spot in the afternoon, with 2 paths, a park and basketball court all being occupied. While I was chasing the container around up there I heard a group walk past and a little girl say "what's he doing"? I didn't dare break my concentration or might never get it back up.

Nice hide, my wherigo used to have a waypoint near here, still sad it needed to be archived, but such is life.
