This puzzle seemed doable despite my very limited knowledge of bowling scoring. Some research, trial and error and calculations later I had some plausible coordinates. I also had a new skill in scoring bowling. Thanks to the CO for confirmation of GZ. Driving past the area quite regularly I'd always thought, that'd be a neat spot for a cache. What do you know, there is one there after all! Was glad to be out of view from passing traffic too. Signed the spare log. Original one had seen better days. Thanks for the fun Ikkibrady.

We were on our way home after a lovely weekend away and happened to be driving right past. A quick detour and we were on site. We started searching high and moved lower after not finding the container. We were about to change sides of the creek when my smallest helper found the container seemingly fallen into the grass. We signed the fresher logbook and put the cache back a bit higher. I'm not sure it's in the right spot but it's above where we found it.
Thanks Ikkibrady for the puzzle and the cache

Having solved the puzzle before we left Tasmania we were keen to visit this cache. Like the previous finder we thought we knew where the cache container would be hidden. We firstly followed our GPSbut when it wanted us 10m on the other side of the creek we decided to go with our instincts and soon the taller team member spotted the cache.

We were dismayed to find the container very damp and the log book damp and extremely mouldy and unsignable. We signed a temporary replacement log and left it in a ziploc bag.

Thanks for this cache Ikkibrady. We were not sure how or why the log has become so mouldy in about 9 months.

I was in Rosebud today and thought that it was about time that I tried this bowling cache. I am not very good at bowling and my balls usually end up in the gutter. This cache was not in the gutter but it was not an easy game to find it.

After following my GPS without success I tried the reliable 'where would this CO hide the cache' and I spotted it very quickly. Somehow the container had collected some water which I emptied out before signing the first page of the dry log.

Thank you ikkibrady for another cache for me to find on the Mornington Peninsula. Very Happy

A nice little puzzle. Smile I have to wait until summer before I can go bowling. Sad It will be on my 'To Do' list.
Thanks for the puzzle, ikkibrady. Smile
