We almost lost it and probably got spotted trying to put it back in place. Luckily I had a super cool nephew with me to help (7yr old).
Lucky tree for such a hide, clever use.

Found easy enough. Difficult as i was only a short guy. Plenty of swaps to keep you goin there. TFTC
Found whilst out passing some spare time. Clever hide in a nice little park.
Signed Log and left a couple of swaps. TFTC.

Good Friday is a perfect day for caching, especially in usually high muggle areas, new record today. Had to come back a little later to be in the clear, nice hide, TFTC Cash Man!!
Found at 9.50am GAFF5 in the company of Robmc. A nicely sheltered spot after the breezy wind at Green Point. A clever container which gladdens the heart when you see cachers putting in that extra effort. Still don't know why "Valentine" was picked as a name though.
Thanks The Cash Man.
Thanks The Cash Man.
A nice spot on the side of the lake, can't say we used any of the facilities (no swim, bowl, etc), but we did admire the area.
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
Is a lovely park. A wedding was just being packed up by the time we arrived so not too many muggles about. Love the cache, hadn't seen anything like this one! TFTC.
Third time lucky! Each time we have looked for this one in the past the park has been occupied by muggles. No one here today at 5:30am. TFTC
FTF with new log. Ingeneous cache with lots of little goodies. Left 1953 halfpenny.
GO THE RAT!! Thanks Cash Man

I did a pocket query for this one so I don't understand why it even came up.
Got to GZ had a good look around and rummaged in what I thought was the obvious hiding spot.
Gave up and went for the hint. no help.
Then read the previous logs, dammit it's not even here.
Oh well.

I really should read the notes before heading off.
Found the GZ, found where the container is normally hidden but it was not there, ONLY THEN, like most men, did i read the instructions and find it was a) missing b) disabled.
Dohh!

A lovely spot by the lake. Took Geo Grandchildren along for the day. One easy find and they're hooked. Took Megamind figure. Replaced with flower eraser. TFTC.
Pulled up near GZ to find two muggles sitting within 10m of where the GPS was telling us the cache was located. Never mind... we snuck around the back side of the tree and quickly located the cache after Suzi missed it on the first past. Nicely hidden in a beautiful and quiet corner. Found with spl00zen and the revisiting CDM261. TFTC.
Took 4 or 5 0r 6 attempts to find this one - we know the spot intimately now. Clever hide.
Thanks. Easy find and I think our 150th. Took 3 years. Doesnt matter because thats a pretty solid effort if the mode of transport is either public or by foot.
# for today: 3, TOD: Night, Conditions: Light rain, Cache Condition: Excellent, Others: Nil, Notes - Nil
Excellent hide, the third on my night cache expedition sans GPS.

After a tireless search daughter found it but it had "fallen" from its normal spot. She risked spider bites to recover it ( lucky she has skinny arms!) and when we had made swaps she put it back safely.
I looked at the sign at the end of the street - you know you are on the right path. Not a lot happening here this morning!! Clear skies.
Found this nice easy one with lovely views after a gruelling two hour bush walk. Kids stayed in car (too pooped) - so mr & mrs horsey enjoyed looking at the swaps and got a dime and left 20 cents. Also took geomonkey trackable. Was amazed you were able to hide such a big container in such a public place. Well done! TFTC.
Found at 4:30pm, our sixth on an afternoon of picnicking and geocaching (as the school holiday finale). Some of the Crew used to live in a house opposite this little park, so it was a good visit down memory lane - thanks!

Not too sure if container is leaking, of if the last finder didn't close properly, but it was full of water! - logbook ok, but pencil pretty soggy. Tried to clean up as best I could, but was raining at the time, so still wet.
Planned a nice stroll through the park - but was raining, luckily not too hard to find.
Late night run to grab a cache for the day, as I approached GZ something scurried off into the water but the rest of the area was empty. plenty of light around so I didn't need to look suspicious by turning on the torch. Quick find.
Thanks.
Thanks.
The GPS wasn't working too well, but it was where we suspected it would be in the end.
Reperio at 1540. Another quick stop today after work, but this spot was much nicer than the last few stops...Once I found a nice little spot to sit, the cache was able to be retrieved without suspicion. Nice views across the water.
Gratias.
Gratias.
Didn't know this park existed, a great little spot. Glad you put this one in the shade cash man . TFTC $$$.
Relatively easy find, but will return as little helper helped herself to "treasure" but I forgot to bring something to leave for the swap. Will return and remedy that tomorrow!
We had the area to ourselves so the hunt went uneventfully. Great spot to spend some time. TFTC The Cash Man. [890]
Found easily while the dog had a swim. Havent been down here before looks like a nice spot for a cold one over the road
Quick find on a hot day. Had a paddle then a few beers at the local club. Nice water vistas. TFTC SL
Had dinner at a local pub and cycled to this one just after dark. A great cycle. 9km each way. Thanks
Found this one on a beautiful Spring morning - a really lovely spot. Thanks for bringing us here. There was a muggle launching his dingy close by, so Marco kept himself amused by skimming stones on the water while we waited for him to go. Once he'd gone the cache was quickly found. Picked up the "Finally" TB and dropped off the WDD GC. TFTC
Great veiws but many muggles around TNLN.

Found a cache - but not what was expected. It was a sealed plastic bag with a green slip inside saying "Congratulations - second prize, Back at the house". Now I'm pretty gullible - but second prize after the cache's been found dozens of times. I don't think so... Had another scrabble around and found the correct prize.
TN LN Signed log. Didn't get feet (or any other part of me) wet.

TFTC . another nice and easy find. Valentine is nice but I don't get why its so expensive. took glow in the dark cockroach and left memory card with hd aerial photos of the lake.
Well my lesson today was to learn where land ends and water begins
Got to this one after dark and didnt quite see the water, ended up with very soggy foot. And with lake water at that
Other than that, another very easy find.
TFTC!

A nice quick find. The best moment of the hunt was when Tyggriffic fell in the lake and got soggy feet xD
What renders this cache particularly memorable is the way tyggriffic confidently strode up to the shore and refused to let even the water stand in his way, he just ploughed on in. Window in moving car quickly converted into impromptu clothes dryer. Socks didn't come out so good. BYO change of socks/footwear, or just wear thongs if you tend to be a little overzealous. TFTC!
Wasn't sure if this one was in someones private garden.
Found it without too much trouble and signed the log.
This area is very pretty and would be a great summer picnic spot.

Found this one without camouflage but fixed it up after we signed the log. Now all is well. TYFTC
Beautiful spot! Easy & quick drive by with no muggles as it was a cold Saturday night. Our 195th cache overall. TFTC
this was a Lovely little spot that i didn't know existed .Found the cache quickly in the obvious spot. Signed log. TNLN TFTC.
Evening find for TEAM ROCKET! No muggles at this time, but during the day there would be muggles both on and off land so be sneaky. SL Took flip book, left poker chip.
Was unsure after a first glance I was in the right spot, but where else could it be?! Argh I see, unique camo... no rock, an empty beer bottle! hahaha Cheers.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Felt a little exposed doing this one but soon located the cache. It is another top spot on the lake and the jetty is good to tie up to for the night and protected from NE winds. You are right the Bowlo serves nice cold beers!
