Description
An inner city cache, but not easy
When I started caching any set of published coordinates that matched within 10 metres of where the cache was found was called good due to the GPSrs of the time. These days I have seen complaints if the cache isn't found within 5 metres of the published coordinates. Garmin, Magellen, iPhone and Android all have error margins against each other, let alone models within a brand.
So here is my new mystery cache. It is a key hider containing a log book.
The published coordinates are the centrepoint of a circle of 15 metres radius and the cache is somewhere on its edge(at least by my measurements, which proves what I'm saying ;)). Above head height. Garmin and Magellen gpsr units have the facility to determine the correct area, iPhone and android only if you have downloaded the right apps :)
And that is all I am going to tell you :)

Today I was back at a more suitable time and the cache was in hand quickly.
The has been signed and this is another of those pesky one now off my lists.
Thanks for the cache Cheesy and Budgie.
Many thanks for placing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience today.
Very pleased to find this one at long last.
thanks for the cache.
Thanks Cheesy pigs, really stoked about finding this one.
We came here earlier in the day but there were so many muggles we decided to return later.
Upon our return we looked north, south, east and west but could not locate the hide.
We stood back and gave it some more thought and realised where the hide might be.
Our next problem was how to approach it at this late hour.
While we were pondering the solution appeared.
With the help of an unwitting accomplice we managed to make our way to GZ.
With Mrs DnA! standing guard, Mr DnA! searched for the cache.
This was made all the more difficult because we had to keep turning off our torches as the unwitting accomplice remained in the vicinity.
After a prolonged search we had the cache in hand.
We quickly signed the log, returned the cache and made our escape.
We think the difficulty should be a 5 given the clandestine way we approached the find.
We enjoyed the hunt and the challenge. It certainly got the adrenalin pumping.

I'd guess the 15 metres is spot on!
Thanks, CP
After finding "PCC07" and the New Town Bay Series, I checked another cache and then drove to this one.
Having spent a lot of time here over recent months I had a fair idea of the meaning of "Orange."
Got to GZ and walked the line and was lucky that the GPS was still working. Zeroed in quickly and made a very fast find.
The log was signed and the cache returned to its hide at 1825hrs without disturbing any of "the eight legged creatures" lurking in the area.
Not another soul to be seen at ground zero, making the search even quicker!!
This was my 2300th find overall. Thanks for the milestone Cheesy.
TFTC and cheers

Well I thought I had no chance of solving it or finding it before RebornCyclist or any of the other city workers.
My amazing daughter said if you don't try you want know so off I went.
I don't know what to say I drove to GZ got out of the car and there it was just as you described.
thanks for the easiest 4.5 I have found. Its a pitty I cannot solve some of your other puzzles as easy.
Did I mention the log was empty so a *FTF*
