Hi there dezzabills - My other half accompanied me today on a RAOTC luncheon in bayswater and afterward we visited her son (he lives on this road). The weather played good for us (all the way and in both directions) and it was a good day out with 1 of each (GC and GA) and also worked out the final coords for a multi closer to home. This cache was a quick find and the container and log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to dezzabills for this cache - our GA find #154.

it took a bit of a search but eventually had the cache in hand. surprised to see the blank log sheets. TFTC.
Passing by on the way home from work, I stopped off to find another nearby cache but could not get close due to muggles. so I set off for the next closest cache. Initially the GPS was pointing to another area. I ended up walking away as a couple of dog walkers passed by. Once I had turned around the gps took me directly to the cache. Many thanks dezzabills for the cache.

Planning for this trip began in June - we knew we would be heading to Adelaide but which way would we go? This depended on our targets. We looked at our list of unclaimed Dragon Zone trophies and picked out several that we could feasibly collect the required number of finds to qualify for the trophy. We then had to identify caches that would meet our targets and from here it was time to plan a route that would take us past the caches we had identified. Any caches too far off our route were discarded and replaced by suitable alternatives.
All was running smoothly until the Christmas in July game was announced. We would be travelling in the latter part of the game. It was difficult to include this in our target caches as we did not know what was required. Once the game began and we understood what we needed to do we could then add other caches to the target list.
We were just getting our heads, yes all four of them, around this when more Dragon Zone trophies were added. Which ones could we meet and which should we ignore? Do we need to add more GA caches and/or do we need to change our route and our targets? We decided on our target list and then our route and timeline. We had just drawn a line under everything and were about to begin printing our caching booklets, route maps and target lists when caught@work published 23 new caches on the Western Ring Path. Earlier we had decided on the caches in the Edgewater Walk series. If we added the new ones on the Western Ring Path and as many of the CCC series as possible, we could probably reach the required number of caches to qualify for the Dragon Zone trophies “Restraining Order Stalker” (Find 100 DZ caches hidden by the same cacher) and “Obsession!=Insanity” (find 50 DZ caches in a day). As the latter would give us our first Blaze Trophy, it was decided to alter everything to include the CCC series.Four Fun, in South Australia published five puzzle caches that would bring good points in the Christmas in July game. Can we solve the puzzles? A few more adjustments to the route and the caches to find list and we would be off.
Having successfully completed our Melbourne challenges and gained our first Blaze Dragon Zone trophy it was time to focus on the Christmas in July game. We started on the Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park puzzle caches recently published by Four-Fun. With Four-Fun's puzzles found, several of J_&_J's puzzles found and the Christmas in July game over it was time to focus on completing the requirements for a few more Dragon Zone Trophies.
When we knew that there was a possibility that we would have a break from grand parent duties we had planned this slight detour so that we could find both GA and GC caches that would meet the requirements for several Dragon Zone trophies and several GC challenge caches in several states. As we had already visited all states and territories except Western Australia this year it was time for us to hop on a plane and head for Perth, Western Australia.
After finding Questy's Tank we headed to this cache. We enjoyed our walk in this beautiful area, particularly seeing the Running Postman in flower. It took our GPS a little while to settle but we soon spotted the well hidden cache container. It certainly blends well with its surroundings. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for this cache Dezzabills and for showing this lovely little piece of bushland.

It was belting down with rain, but I was determined to get out and find this one, I had come this far! It was really dark and the GPS was playing games with me for a while, I could have sworn that actual GZ actually moved during the search. The container blended in really well and it was only when I got up closer with the flashlight, that the container eventually revealed itself. TFTC dezzabills
Right under my nose. I was a bit ashamed when I finally spotted it! Haha.
Great little spot, have driven past here a hundred times and never come in. I was sad to see that Dieback is affecting it. Hopefully it will recover.
Thanks for a great cache.
