#12 We loved this cache! Could have spent the whole day there. It was sunny and peaceful... and those benches are fabulous! Loved the ducks, too. Fantastic cache!

Ha ha ha... Very nice. It was pretty cold out there looking in the usual places. Finally found it. So windy, my gel pen blew into the water, never to be seen again. I go through so many of these! Thanks for the cache.
Miraculously found this one before we really started looking - HORRENDOUS day weather wise - especially when crouched around a lake. At least we had the place to ourselves - what other fools besdies geocachers would be out on a day like today!? Excellent, excellent, splediforous hide! LOVED it! Thanks for the great cache!
2010-07-09 15:01 This reminds me of an old chookies cache. I love this type of hide. The log and contents were damp. Didn't have time to air them out as muggles were coming so it might pay to attend to this one soon. TFTC.
Checked the spots that it wasn't first.. loved the technique this one employed.. one for a future hide.. Find 3/9 @ 2220, #210 TFTC SL TNLN
We were driving through this area doing a delivery for work and realized that we had enough time to make a quick detour. We walked briskly through the wetlands to gz and were puzzled for awhile when the penny dropped and the well hidden cache was found
thanks bearsleys for the cache

This was 5/5 on a 42 KM bike ride today. This one did take us some deep thinking. We were looking in all of the wrong spots at first, until we looked to find it in a non expected spot. Great Hide. SL TFTC
I decided to go for a quick local caching trip to pick up a few locals that I have missed or have appeared recently. Strangely enough I had been hanging out to find a cache hidden this way, and it was found pretty quickly. From the logs, I appear to have been following Alansee today ... Took nothing, left a compass Thanks for a great cache...
A great spot for a cache and well done to bearsleys on the hide. I have soon a handful of these before but none better, and I confess I had to get a big hint. Its been ages, I tell you !
I also really liked the surrounding artwork too - thanks to bearsleys for a really good cache.

While geowife was getting herself a nice hot drink at the nearby cafe, I ran down the track to grab this one. On arrival I was a little bemused. Then I went into deep thinking mode. A fantastic hide. I was unable to sign the log as my hands were frozen and I just couldn't remove the lid. Everything looked fine inside. Maybe when I'm passing by one warm day I'll scratch my handle in there. Thanks bearsleys for the different cache.
Found @ 12.53pm Find #320
Easily the best cache of the day, no I tell a lie the first to find early this morning was the best but this was a very close second. Almost gave up but persistence paid off
Thx for a very fun cache

Needed some help from a previous finder for this one. We had the right idea but just couldn't find what we were looking for!
What a great idea for a cache and I loved the guardians.

Found it at 4:30pm today.
I pretty much had the place to myself, except for someone walking along the boardwalk but not near the cache location.
I looked around for at least 5 minutes before I spotted something, could it be..., yes it was.
Even though we've had quite a lot of rain, the contents were dry although the container was difficult to open for various reasons.
I took nothing and left a black aluminium torch.
An ingenious hide, thanks Bearsleys.

Found it with arrjimlad & Vicki. Great hiding place in a beautiful setting. The Batmobile is on its way to a secret location near Gotham City.
I found this very clever Geocache, PolecatS, Vicki and I went out to look for the travel bug, we were very impressed the the cleverness of the hiding location. The Bug will now be on its way to the USA with PolcecatS.
Took a while with Minibogans Magoo and Supermini, while the rest of the bogan family slept in the GeoTruck
Initially I discounted the telltale signs as something innocent. Searched high and low - including extensively on the duck poop deck!
Ended up bringing the cache page up on the phone to get an idea and discovered the size and read the description.
Took a couple of minutes, but found pretty quickly. Kicking myself!!
Took TB left Golf Ball to add to collection gathering.
Thanks for a fantastic cache. The Minibogans enjoyed this no end!

I suspect a bit of deep thought went into this one. Robmc was first to cotton on in our group.
Thanks indeed

This was a nice quick find. After reaching GZ and applying some logic - cache in hand in not time at all. It is surprisingly heavy!
This one had me puzzled for a few minutes. Once I'd eliminated the likely spots, I thought that it would be impossible to hide a 1 litre cache here. But then I spotted something and voila, there it was. It's been a year or so since I've seen a similar hide style. Nicely done. Thanks for the cache.
Spent this very windy afternoon caching with my oldest boy. Parked nearby and walked across to GZ. We spent a little while looking for the cache until I finally spied a likely hiding spot. Great hide. Signed log. TFTC.
Dropped past with rigger64 while on a FTF hunt for the night. Not many caches in the area we have both not done. This was one of them. Arrived and GZ and took some time to think about it. We new it was a bit fishy. TFTC.
After getting an FTF not far from here Myself & Covert decided to try to find this one which we did in the end. We were about @ the end of our tether so we fished out the PDA to see what the clue had to say which was of some help the we had an idea were the cache was which was soon found & the log book duely signed & the cache was replaced.

Found @ 4.45pm # 91. Had a bit of a look around at GZ and then sat down and had a deep thought and it appeared. Nice hide.

Left TB, he needed to get back to where he belongs.

Arrived at the Gz with the gps in one hand and lunch in the other,i decided to finish eating before i started my search for the cache,that decision proved right as just as i finished eating lunch something caught my eye and the cache was soon in hand.
Good hide!
Thanks for the cache Bearsley's

Took longer than expected till Can-An sat and thought deeply and laterally and found at 4pm. Brilliant hide, Bearsleys - and a nice spot as well plus a nice day. A muggle did arrive with pooch so we waited for him to pass on.
Took green parrot; left Diabetes TB, "Torres Vedras, Portugal"- thought it might enjoy this particular spot Down Under - and shell from The Catlins district (bottom of South Island, NZ)

We found this cache at 3:00pm as the 10th of 17 on our "Yet another drive along the coast to Frankston" afternoon. This would be only about the 4th cache of this type that we have found. They are always nice to find. That's a large chunk of...... Now off for a late lunch. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A.

I haven't seen a hide like this for a while and it was nice to see some variety creeping into Melbourne. I sat and enjoyed the views while I waited for the dog walker to leave before grabbing the cache and logging it. All is dry!

EB 13 here,
was a nice simple stroll in the park with my two most trusty tools for night caching -
a torch and mum's iphone.Feeling out of place, knowing too well that we both probably looked a bit suss. Once we got to GZ we felt that this was in the bag only to scratch our heads. Once found we hi-5'd each other with big grins with my first FTF.
EB Chief here,
Nothing suss.Just a father and his son going for a post midnight boardwalk stroll.... with torches..... and iphones. Nothing Suss!!!! Sat down to admire the view, but what was the point, it was after midnight and pretty dark. Crawled around trying to avoid all the duck cack and pretty soon, thinking laterally, I spied the hide. Cache was soon in hand and we eagerly opened the log to find a blank page. Woohoo! Signed the log but took nothing and left nothing
We returned the cache carefully to its hide as we didn't want to drop it in the water. EB13 hi-5'd ( hand slap, not singing and dancing) and we returned home, to our beds, where all sane people already were,
Thanks Bearsleys for the cache, we love it when they are pretty close to home
