Out playing basketball with the kids and thought Id wander over and have a quick look around for the cache. I looked in a few spots but couldnt see anything. I expanded my search, saw something that I thought might move, and there it was! So well hidden and such an exciting find! Thanks so much for hiding the cache!

Started looking in the wrong spot initially, then finally went where the GPS told me to go. I came up on the right angle, got down low and managed to spot it! I was thankful I didn’t have to stick my hand in and feel around in any strange places! Signed the log and replaced exactly as found. Thanks for the awesome cache - first one of those types I’ve found! Very cool.

We found our first multi ! Out playing in the playground with my daughter when I noticed there was a multi in this park. We read the description fully, found the numbers we needed, and my daughter found the right sculpture. My daughter headed off in one direction but we came up empty handed initially. Then we went back to that same spot and had a proper look! Surely it can’t be under there? Yes, it was! Signed the cache and replaced exactly as found. This was so much fun, thanks so much for placing the cache !

What an awesome cache! Favourite point from me. My son excitedly called out “found it!” Before I even had a chance to search! I was looking for something tiny but it is quite big. Thanks so much for hiding such a fun cache! 
 
After finding one of the other jitterbugs nearby, we stopped off here to see if we could find this one. Unfortunately after searching for 20mins we came up empty handed. Lovely little walking track though. We’ll be back for Horace! 
 
Came out on a wet, windy afternoon with my children. Park was deserted so there were no muggles around. Coordinates were spot on. Saw an interesting looking tree and there it was! Thanks so much for hiding the cache - such a fun find! 
 
This is the second time I have looked but have come up empty handed . Searched all around GZ, even expanded our search, but could not find it anywhere .

Out caching with the family. We bush-bashed in the hard way, then found the easier path on the way out ! The kids saw something out of place and the cache was soon in hand.

I had found one similar to this yesterday so I had a bit of an idea where to look, but it still had me searching high and low! SO many spider webs so I was hesitant to poke around in crevices . Then I glimpsed something that I was able to grab, lifted it out and there it was! Signed log and replaced exactly as found. Such an exciting find! Thanks for hiding it! ️ 
 
Looked around for a good 20mins. My GPS kept skipping around which didn’t help. I put it away and thought about where I might hide a cache, looked everywhere, but still came up empty handed. The ants eventually chased me away! I’ll be back!
