Having completed our post-walk barbie at the nearby facilities, I decided to have a look for this one before heading home. It had me going for a few moments as I'd predetermined the size and type of hide in my mind based on the hint but 2upoj was insistent as to its location and I finally spotted the hide at 16:50.
TNLNSL. Thanks caughtatwork.

Once the car was parked here, I had a read of the info boards in the shelter before nabbing this one. Didn't actually realise there were that many memorial trees here.
Thanks for another one [email protected] all good.

Today we're making our way from Ballarat to Geelong, caching and adventure labbing as we go. We've been wanting to have a go at this circuit ever since it was published and today's the day, finally. We found ten of the twelve with coordinates spot on and useful hints. We'll have to come back some time in the future to try the other two again. TFTC
It was an absolute pleasure to find the caches around Moon reserve.
The containers were clean, full of swag for swaps and the co ordinates accurate. It was so enjoyable walking and finding them. It felt like the good old days of caching -when I first joined.
I will definitely do more GCA caches in the future.
Could have needed duck feet if it was any wetter!
Thanks caughtatwork for re-introducing me to 'proper' caching.

As she retrieved this container Mrs Y'stassie spotted a jogger approaching so it was a quick sign and replace before he got too close. In her haste she forgot to check for the source of the name.
Thanks for this cache and the series caughtatwork. Mrs Y'stassie certainly enjoyed the two walks in this area. Unfortunately these caches didn't meet any of the Research Task requirements for this week however the walk and quality of the hides certainly met "cache for enjoyment and experience".
We suspect this will be the last physical GCA cache we find for some time as we catch the ferry home tonight and will be in home isolation for the next 2 weeks.

Out and about finding our weekly research task requirements and this newly published series had several that met our needs. We set off on the circuit finding this one and a blank log book @ 13.53 hrs [*FTF*] #15
Accurate co ordinates and hint led to a quick find. Enjoyed the walk and exploring an area not visitd before.
Many thanks caughtatwork for publishing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience.
An excellent series that took us 1.5 hours to complete including the GC caches along the way.
