Kiama 10. After not having a chance to look for this one during the day, we stopped in the dark on the way home for a look, but could not find it. Thanks.

Had a look for this one in the dark as we couldnt even start to look during the day as muggles were everywhere just couldnt find it
GZ put me in the lake - so assuming the traditional answer to the hint, I had quick look around and quickly had the cache in hand. Inventory shows TB Pugsly should have been in the stash, but I didnt spot it. TNLN SL TFTC
this cache was on our to do list while traveling south, it had a travel bug pass threw here that i wanted to colect but has been moved on. (Collingwood). This is a top spot that we could of spent a couple hours here but didn't have. taken Geo coin to move on

Geez I always seem to find the hard way to get to GZ and the easy way out! Lots of duck poop around - look out where you walk! This is a lovely area, thanks for bringing us here.

An easy walk down one side, cache found and then an even easier down the other side and back to the car.
Thanks for yet another find on our trip around the area.

I think the ducks have been over feed, weren't interested in what we had to offer. Good spot TFTC
Found it No. 2613 ... on our second attempt as there were kids playing in the area ... took TB and LN

Cache run on the way from Auckland to the Megga Event in Wagga. Quick find between muggles T4TC.
Another nice cache location (and yet again I walked through a spider's web to find this cache). TFTC.
Found during our 2010 Wagga to Wollongong Caching tour. The tour was conducted over 5 days taking in the various sites and towns situated between these two cities.
Another quick find in the area, but alas the cache is very wet!
Needs an urgent upgrade of container, logbook is fine though.

Nice quick find although as this was epicist's first caching run he was impressed with what you have to do to sometimes do to grab the cache. The cache had a bit water in it due to the lid being loose it might need an upgrade to a simesta container for the snap locks. TNLN TFTC
Found with the psychodaughter and some relatives. You found a nice spot for this hide. TFTC
Ducking, weaving, bum in the air..This cache had it all.
Nabbed with the kind assistance of McPhan and Winglen and a carefully selected tool.
Signed log on chair just over the bridge from the cache, under the watchful eye of Mr. Neighbour.

As McPhan said, we generously allowed Zsazsa7 the satisfaction of having to reach a long way for this one. In fact, 'special equipment' was required, but hopefully we didn't return it to such an inaccessible spot. Lots of ducks, ducks, no geese thankfully! TFTC!
2608. [font=Trebuchet Ms][green]Winglen and I (not for the first time today) gave Zsazsa7 the honour of retrieving the cache. The team caching tool then had to find another caching tool to allow retrieval.

I thought my goose was cooked when i arrived to find a fishing muggle on the bridge. Fortunately, he wasn't all that interested in watching the line, and walked off. That allowed enough time to duck down and grab the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

Did this one a few weeks ago. 1 of 8 for the day and forgot to log it. Can you believe that. Geo kid did the actualy find as we took it in turns over the morning to catch up on some local caches.
a nice easy find apart from the rain. managed to get a bit of mud on me which didn't smell real nice.
TNLN and signed the log before getting out of there as the rain was getting heavier. Lots of ducks around today, didn't see any geese though.

Accessing this one reminded me that I am not getting any younger... And I'm lucky the area was dead quiet at this time - my torchlight would have been rather suss coming from where it was...

Did you know there are 35 geocaches in the world called Duck, Duck Goose. That would be a good trip!
Nice to find this peaceful part of the lake with lots of friends.
I found the geocache but there was no way I could work out how to reach it.

The cache should be renamed "duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck goose goose goose"! Thanks for bringing us here to walk amongst amongst a multitude of birds on the road, the footpath and along the edges of the creek. Strong winds kept the area muggle-free allowing us to have a quick, easy find exactly where our GPSr told us to look.
It took me a few minutes looking elsewhere (considering gps inaccuracies), but the cache was soon in hand. Log only visit, TFC
Found at 1130. Got to GZ to find three people standing over the cache feeding the ducks. Fortunately, they all turned their back as I approached closer to GZ and was able to slip in behind them and sign the log.
This is a nice spot and one you can easily spend a lot of time relaxing at.
Thanks.

Its good to see a few caches now along this bike track. We've cycled, scooted, walked, pushed and strolled past here lots of times over the years. It seemed like there were more ducks than usual around today. TFTC
I dropped in on our way out of town after a weekend at the poker finals. Nice spot and nice hide too. Only trouble was little muggles wanting to feed the ducks right where I was, so I had to hang around, out of view, for a few minutes until all the bread was gone. Well done, as that's the first time I have had to do that in 4 years. TFTC,

yeh! went back at 5pm with all 4 possums. Rain fell from the sky to make it more challenging. First time out as a whole family we were all laughing and having fun what a great family activity.Possum 1 and possum 4 did what possums do best and got it. We took a hot wheel car and left a magnet and lanyard. Possum 1 is a hot wheel collector , first find and got something of interest he is hooked now too.
Thanks nice spot!!!!

Just forgot to drop TB G for Georgia - which already is picked up by Franta Kocka.
GZ was easily found, I even had a clou where to look. Only problem: too many mugglers around and it took a while before they left. After that my guess was correct. logged at 11.15 and left a coin.

We were welcomed by ducks and geese as soon as we stepped out of the parked car. Easy find, container now in good shape.
Found at 1600h by geodad who went hunting while I was still gawping at the toy. A nice spot to sit if you dont mind the stench. Container needs upgrading as contents are a bit damp and smelly.

Could'nt believe the amount of birds at GZ even with the revolting smell of stagnate waters . Great spot for a cache. Left 2x AAA batteries took used hotwheels car also replaced log book bag as the other was perished. TFTC
G'day Geokids looked for this. Too difficult for old blokes!! Found it though. Didn't see a troll though

Driving through Oak Flats after a weekend bushwalking and visiting some local caches on the way. Apparently there's another just over that way says Wassa. Can't drive past, so a quick U turn and then off to find the cache. Wassa did the 'look at the view and warn Wal when there are pedestrians coming' routine, which helped as there were a couple of people passing by. I found the cache, signed the log. Contents were a bit wet, so tipped out the water.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!

A nice quick find down by the waterside. Not too many muggles about. No geese – but saw some ducks. Cheers Gav [2866]
Good spot, reminded me a lot of the many similar vistas like this around Auckland harbour.

Found by our "trainees" for the day. We are showing them how this all works to see if we can convert them....lol. Swapped a bracelet with tape measure. TFTC
Arrived a few days ago from Cushendall, Ireland. The cache was just up the road from where I was staying while visiting relatives. Easily found just where you said it would be. This is my second Ozzie find. Great location .... thanks.
Another local cache I managed to knock off the to do list today. Quick find in a nice spot. TFTC!
Great little hide. Found this one on my way to touch football with my geokid. Had to wait a while because of all the muggles walking by. TFTC
Nice spot. Punga was trapped whilst looking, and had to wait for muggles to pass. Paua took photos of ducks to pass the time. TFTC.
on our return trip back to Canberra and chose to do a couple in this area.. a nice location.. lol I was trapped while signing log and had to wait till muggles passed by so I could move out of the GZ.. phew...
thanks

Quick duck down feeling like a goose. Grabbed the cache, SL dropped off a coin then quietly back onto the track with out being spotted. Thanks for the cache in a nice part of the lake.
A nice simple cache in a lovely location with a great view - a fabulous way to start an afternoon's caching. Thanks Teabags & Scruff

Up at Warilla watching the footy (we won) so planned to look for 4 caches on the way home. Found this one after parking near the bridge. There were ducks of every variety & colour plus heaps of muggles about. Located & replaced in between kids on bikes & adults walking their dogs. A good view across the lake. Thank you.
found with out too much trouble. There wasn't the usual amount of ducks hanging around though. After the cache find we walked cassie the wonder dog around to the boat ramp before heading back to the car. We actually lived near the lake here a few years back so it was good to see what had changed since then. TFTC Greg, Judy and Cassie the wonder dog.
Grabbed this little one on the way to work.
Was good to nab a quick one as I did not have a lot of time.

A chance arose to duck duck out at lunchtime and make a goose of myself so I took it.
A quick find that I shared with the ducks and geese as no-one else was around. Did a coin swap. Thanks

Did this one at night and nearly got busted by muggles who live nearby. We did look sus as we had camo gear on and beanies with a torch and crowbar(joking). We had to walk away and come back once the outside light went out. We took coin and left TB Jeep to play in the swamp.LOL
Great hide.
