Description
This cache has been hidden as part of the Mid-Year Mystery Madness Months' game which runs from 1st June to the 31st July 2023
A circus is a company of performers who put on diverse entertainment shows
The term Circus also describes the performance which has followed various formats through its 250-year modern history
As a child, our family always went to the circus when it came to the local area
A variety of animals were used in acts:
Big cats ( the lion, tiger and leopard), Camels, Elephant, Horses, Donkeys, Bears, Monkeys and Dogs
Other acts included Clowns, Acrobats, trapeze acts, musicians, Dancers, Jugglers, magicians, unicyclists and ventriloquists
Outside the big top, side shows were used to entertain the crowd:
Games, Food stores, Fortune tellers and rides
Although not the inventor of the medium, Philip Astley is credited as the father of the modern circus
Today, most circuses DO NOT have the exotic animals and use Human and Instrumental performances
Most circuses perform under the big top:
With either one, two or three performing "stages" known as RINGs.

Logs
then continued onwards to Sanford to find the rest of Whitewebbs MMMM games caches and a few others that were close by. Needing to be in New Town at 5 to pick up a heater we stopped in at Rosny Hill to grab the caches there to fill in some time, all were located and solved. After loading the heater onto my ute we decided that was enough caching for the day and headed back north arriving home around 10pm.
With the CO showing us where to park for this one he decided to tag along and watch us find this one, as we approached we found Goose and SSR just about to look for the cache, we made the find as a group with the picturesque view in the background. Had a catch up back at the cars kind of like a mini event. TFTC
It is time to go bashing around the Tasman peninsula, with the CO handy on the phone albeit with a migraine, all to eager to assist where possible. Straight forward find now onto the next one. TFTC
Thanks OldSaint
When we arrived above GZ we initially thought it waould be a difficult walk down however, on closer inspection we noticed a little track and found it led us to the hide. We soon had the container in hand and the log signed. We returned the cache to its secure hide and covered it as found.
Thanks for another MMMM puzzle Old Saint. Great view across the bay from this hide.
