Ha ha, I got the joke. Recent work on the road has made the trip up the road verge interesting. However, I found it, just as a local farmer rode up on his quad bike and gave me a bit of an interrogation! Turns out he's been the victim of several robberies; so was investigating this random stranger who pulled up down the road. He was aware of the geocache and had asked the police about it (they explained what it was etc.) Concerned, I asked him if he wanted it removed but he said he was fine with it being there, but just warns future cachers that they may be questioned. So keep an eye out for a farmer in a white quad bike Smile

When the car GPS mentioned the name of the upcoming road I quite literally said, "Oh you've got to be kidding me!" And then a photo with the road sign was in order Razz Whoever named this road needs to be added to the hall of fame, that's all I'm saying! TFTC!

Mr Tardis and Mini Tardis were in Mt Barker today hardware shopping. We went on a detour out this way to find a cache.

I've always wondered why this cache had it's particular name, and today on the way to GZ the penny dropped. Mini Tardis found this one before Mr Tardis. Maybe I need some glasses?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team lulu_jt.

Work was a little slow so Mr M took the day off. Hmmm.... what could we possibly do?

This one gave us a real laugh as we turned onto the road. The hint suggested that the cache was hidden in the obvious spot. We saw the obvious spot but got confused as it was about 100m past GZ. We went back to GZ and as it appeared to be a quiet road and very wet on the verges we just parked the car in the middle of the road and went for the cache. You guessed it. Suddenly this little road became busier than Bourke St which forced us to run back to the car to move it. TFTC lulu jt.

Found at 2:30 PM. Interesting location down a narrow dirt road.
Safe parking is necessary, just in case the the two person 'horse and trap' appears again.
Checking out what the strangers were doing down a 'no though' road I suppose!
Easy find, a bit un-covered, but OK now. Smile
