Description
A Seasonal Hunt
The cache is not at the listed coordinates.
The difficulty is in finding which footpad is nearby. The puzzle is errrr not quite as difficult.
Was this puzzle placed as part of GCA's 2016/17 Scavenger hunt? If yes, you might find your goal at S35 19.548 , E149 6.047
If however, you think the cache was placed as part of Donald Trump's cunning plan to turn the world orange and bigly, then off you go to N40 45.745 , W73 58.449

On a lovely chilly walk up in the area with K8TYBEE and GLISS! Sooo beautiful. A nice fast find by GLISS! at GZ. Cache in great condition. Thanks for the cache.
This is the sort of mystery cache I like 
. After I logged another cache with the same initial coordinates, this one on the map appeared, taking its place 
. So, today I was back in the area again, so I braved the cold in my good overcoat (I was dressed for an appointment) and made the find. Luckily no bush bashing necessary here. First log since 2017. Cache and log are good. TFTC Agent Basil.

Again glad I had my boots with me. I normally cache in my work clothes and heels but boots were a better option here. short walk with fitzy_1965 and past more roos before making the find at GZ.

GCA 1873. Found after a short walk in with minniek today.
Parked in a now familiar spot in the suburbs and wandered up and over to this area again - keeping a wary eye out for old man kangaroo - and soon arrived at GZ. A careful search quickly revealed the cache.
Thanks AB !! We'll be back for more in the area again 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). What a struggle of a puzzle this one was! 
After scrambling through all of the bushes, we arrived at GZ where it took a couple of minutes to climb all over the rocks and find the cache. Soon enough, the hide was uncovered in the dark. Got a bit hurt by some of the surrounding prickles though. TNLNSL. TFTC AB!

F(H)ound It! @5:00 PM
Parked near your multi of budgies and took the Ridgeopup for a walk up the hill. This was one of a couple of successful finds followed by a couple of DNFs.
Puzzle: I couldn't resist taking a virtual trip to the (ugly) T. Tower, interesting that the road was closed with barriers outside and camera crews at the door. I do love the GMaps and how up close one can get to the other side of the planet.
GZ: Nice bunch of boulders and a quick find thank you Agent Basil

921. One more while I'm up here and another nice sized cache. Some views and a walk in the freshly cleaned scrub and all is good with the world - and the cache.

Woo Hoo.....my favourite sort of puzzle. Hardest part of the whole thing was going out and finding it today.....it was certainly a hot one.
Only a few days now til the boy blunder will be in charge, so watch this space I guess. Lets hope the pundits are wrong.
Thanks AB...good to grab this one......and now I'm off to the pool.

#GA1175 - 19:15; I decided to head over to Deakin and go for a wander this evening to collect a couple of caches. This was the first on the list and while I parked a bit further away than I probably needed to, I managed to make my way to GZ without incident and after checking for wriggling sticks, managed to put my hand on the cache for a surprising *FTF*!
