Geocaching is, will probably look
into it
Been a year since it was last found

What a lovely park, with lovely views. A lovely spot for a lovely cache 
We really enjoyed coming here, it would have been an interesting spot to have lived in the old days although the work would probably have been rather back-breaking.

What a nice hide, I had no clue but Mrs Madstars approached it from the right angle and saw it straight away. I was confused.... mind you I am like that most of the time looking for caches. hahaha
Thanks Detourism for placing a great cache in a great hide, it was appreciated.

First cache find ever. Thought we have a go at this caching thing. Seems like lots of fun
Found this cache at 2pm after booking in to our Motel for the weekend for a family get together. What a lovely penninsular and lake. We had it all to ouselves. After hanging around and working out which tree it was in hand and thrown up to the other Bushie.
Took: Nil.
Left: Bottle opener and coloured wooden dolly peg.
Thanks Detourism for the hide.

As I approached I noticed some kids playing at GZ so I sat at a table nearby to wait them out. After about 10 minutes looking out at the lake they were still there so I called it a day. As I drove off I thought I'd have once last check and noticed them riding away on their bikes. Tops a quick U-Turn and park and I was a GZ. I found the cache within a minute. I can't believe that the kids haven’t found it yet as this is obviously their hang out, and there are right next to it. The cammo is starting to flake off a bit so I did my best to make sure it was not too noticeable. Nice job on the container and a great location for a Cache.

Went for a pleasant walk this evening out to this park.
This was a very busy area this afternoon, with a lot of fisherman out and about.
Got the cache finding duties out of the way fairly quickly and spent some time at the park
TNLN .. the cache needs a new pen, so couldn't SL

This was 3rd find for the day. Really liked the locations views. Also, the cache itself was a most unusual container and fnding it required some unusual techniques! My wife Debbie found it....needed a womans logic. TNLN

Drove to the top ofd the area and had lunch then found cache. My son was married on this point.TNLN TFTC
The Passengers favourite cache for the day. Well hidden (the little torch came in handy) and in a lovely little spot.
On our way to the co-ords we had to pretend to be taking in the view due to muggles (one of which was using a tree as a bathroom). We were a little worried that the cache was going to be in the middle of a muggle BBQ but then we realised where we had to go.
Once we found the cache we used the privacy of the area to sit and enjoy the contents of the cache and the view. I was quite impressed with the business card of the cache owner and am about to go look up the site.
Before we left we dropped off TB (Just a Pink Ball) and left a fly eye toy, why not use it to look at the view.
Thanks very much for that cache.

Third and final cache for the day. A great park and an easy find, especially when approaching from the right angle.
Plenty of muggles around, but thankfully not near the caceh. We enjoyed watching the model yachts being raced before we left the area.

17:06 - Finally got around to finding this cache myself, I had at one stage hoped for a FTF but my plans that day got altered. Cache took a little looking for and some thinking to retrieve. TNLN. Thanks for the quality cache, good hide and lovely little area - thanks for bringing me here. 
Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice park we found this one in the morning and came back for the kids to go for a swim in the lake. TFTC.
This was our second find of the day. Found ground zero rather easily but then had to have a bit of a search for this one as it is very well hidden!!! Mums brother actually got married on the point in this park so it was nice to come back here although it was raining!!!

Yippee, our first "first to find" ! May this cache have a long and prosperous life. Loved the cache itself, very nifty, and a nice stash spot. Took nothing but left baelrati's Kansas Sunshine Geocoin.
