A nice easy find with a great location. I went just before sunset and walked up to the top of the little incline. A really beautiful location with lots of opportunities for future caches, TFTC Agent Basil!

I spent most of the afternoon wandering this hill with mixed results. This was the one I really wanted but I don't think Monty#2 and Sam(sung) had the same idea. I wandered around in circles from one side of the stream to the other before I eventually saw the culprit hanging exactly where the CO had left him. TFTC Agent Basil SL Very HappyClan Cerberus

I took a short, pleasant walk to find three GA caches in this area. This one was found after a short search. Cache and log are in good condition. I was surprised this hasn't been logged since 2017. TFTC Agent Basil.

Thankful that I brought walking shoes with me today. Short walk up past a lot of huge kangaroos before finding GZ with fitzy_1965. TFTC.

GCA 1871. Found after a short walk in with minniek today.

Parked in the suburbs - about the only place we could find ! - and wandered up and over to this one - past the BIGGEST Kangaroo I've ever seen - he certainly wasn't moving for us so we let him be. Soon arived at GZ and minniek made the find.

Thanks AB !! We'll be back for more in the area soon !

Found on a night caching run with the venturers - suitably - as a part of my last night at venturers (ie. I turn 18 in a couple of days). After a bit of bushbashing to get to GZ, the cache was spotted much faster than expected - that was quite a pleasant surprise! Nice little spot. TFTC AB! Clan CerberusClan CerberusClan Cerberus
 
After reading the hint this was easily found. Nice walk in here. Thanks

I was expecting a much harder find, but this stood out like the dogs proverbials!

TFTC AB!

F(H)ound It! @5:10 PM

Oh no, after checking the hint my heart dropped, I always have trouble with these. Especially in fading light. There are so many likely possible hiding spots at GZ and what size? and what colour? and, and ....oh there it is! Razz All good, in the end a quick find, thanks Agent Basil

After work caching, the delights of evenings in winter. Fading light made quite a challenge of the is one and I was getting a bit concerned, then I saw it. What a relief.

Thanks

Glad we tackled this one early in the day as it is heating up. A quick grab and then off again.

Thanks Agent Basil.

Back up this hill again to clear some caches with Jac. A quick grab before heading off for some errands.

Thanks Agent Basil.

#GA1176 - 19:20; After grabbing another of the CO's caches nearby, I made my way over to this one. I had a real sense of deja vu on arrival before I remembered a fruitless search for an archived cache at this location on my previous visit. No such problem today and the cache was quickly spotted and the log signed. TFTC Agent Basil Very HappyClan Cerberus

Needed a cache today....not for the SSS game as such, but for my Geocaching Australia anniversary. Another trophy now in the dragonZone cabinet...

Yep, a pleasant spot to sit....just me and the 100's of cicada's who were also enjoying the quiet time. Cache was found, signed and returned....then it was back up to the hill and down towards the car. Was thinking about parking in certain nearby front yard, but then thought better of it....just in case.

Thanks AB.....well named cache.

Again, not sure if my strategy is right, but the lure of the *FTF* was too great!!! A nice wander into a rather familiar spot and the treasure was soon spotted.
Thanks AB for the cache and reacquainting me with this lovely little spot, although my memories are still rather vivid!!!!
