After doing an Earth cache for Earth cache day earlier, I decided to do some more caches around Ellerslie.This was one of them. When I first read the hint and looked around at all the boulders, I thought it was impossible to find the cache. I had just had a DNF and my heart sank. But then I realized that the hint made good sense and after I found the lonely boulder, it was just a question of time to find the right tree. Cache is in good order, enduiring the test of time.Thanks for hiding and maintaining. Tftc

Nice. Tricky hiding spot. Ick if you don't like spiders

Thanks you, we ran most of the way to get here. Thanks to Jonathan for helping find it.

Gave up

Nicely hidden Thank you

Thank you!

Good spot

Great hide thanks

Thank you for hiding thisssss

Found it

Found but the paper was too damp to write on

Tricky but good find

Great hint

Thanks

Just found it a bit ago just marking these finds now o did not rich them tho

Thank you ollie and daddy

Tyftc! Cool spot. Tip: truly solitary rock

Glad for a good hint here which meant was a pretty quick find. Nice and cool in here out of the sun. Thank you marksean for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 4931

So fun! big spiderweb over it which made it rather scary

found by emma and ella, easy find

Nice find in this tiny piece of greenery!!TFTC

Super quick find. Log is a bit wet, but otherwise all ok. Thanks for the cache.

Loop track complete but unfortunately anticlockwise. Thank you for bringing me to this nice little park I didn't even know existed

Yass

Found without too much trouble. Had to expand search a bit from where I was looking initiallyTFTC

Cool park! TFTC

Found it and a flatworm, pretty cool

A short walk on a fine morning, but the grass is very wet at this park. Found the cache without too much trouble- it is a bit damp but paper is still ok. I had to complete the short bush walk- what a great amenity in a very built-up area. Thanks for placing this.

Part of a 3/3 caeche day. Getting a bit damp in there despite the good container. TFTC

Found it! This is my first find! Yay!

Got there in the end. Lots of oranges

Hilariously caught the wrong bus from the CBD. Happened to be an express so first stop was Ellerslie. Decided to make the best of the unexpected trip and located this cache. Thank you for the placement. It rocked!

Hint was confusing but we found ittt ;P Couldn’t write on paper as it was too wet; might come back and put more fresh paper in.

Cool hiding spot!! Had to look twice to see it.

After 10 or 15 minutes of sticking my hand in every rock crevice I could find I gave up and went to dinner. No idea where it could be.

Nice easy find, log is waterlogged and hard to sign name, TFTC

M24: man, many boulders around here.
A nice and easy cache to find here, although log needs maintenance, probably with a new waterproof log. TFTC.

Spooky trying to find it at night but great first find. TFTC

Not one to do by yourself at night haha, but found it.

Thanks for the awesome find..our first one!

Found it! Hint was a bit confusing since there were two solitary boulders but rewarding to find.

Found it! Yay! Have been here before and I was tired and not very experienced. Basically I had no clue! Today was entirely different and I found the cache easily, especially with the hint. I recommend taking the wee trail up as there are obviously some faeries up there. Taken a pic of the log as it was too wet to write on. Tftc

Thanks!

Lots of random junk in reavers kinda weird

Lots of boulders but not too tricky. Paper is a bit wet though. Tftc

after two dogs prior to this hunt, we needed this! Love the little path…

TFTC!

*dnf not dogs

Sad

Just found and leave it there
No pen or other stuff with me...

Found the black container, however it needs to be replaced and a new log book

Found it with help

Found it. Fun find. Log was wet need to replace next time.

Just started today first find! Thanks
The grass hopper surprised us

Thank you this was well hidden

Found! It was the lemon that gave it away. Had fun finding this one in the dark

Quick find between rain showers tftc

Nice little walk, located this one easily enough. It was highlighted by a lemon sitting on top of it which was a bit random (removed it so it didn’t turn to mush on the cache). TFTC!!

Found it

Thanks, loved the hiding spot!

Good find cool spot tftc

Took a little while as the GPS was bouncing but eventually found, although had trouble signing with my pen, TFTC!

Thanks!! Took me a while but got there!

Took us a while, but we got it

Found it. Took a while but I found it.

Found Our First Cash Love It!

Found

Found

found after a while spent looking at the wrong boulders!! byop )

Awesome hide and so quiet. TFTC

Took us a while but we found it!

Found

Was in the area today, so I grabbed this cache.

Was quite surprised to find such a nice trail that this cache is along.

Short walk, but we’ll worth it!

Thanks for the cache!

My family and I were out and about and found a place away from Public (SD) of course to let my kids run around and happen to see there was a cache in the area so we went off searching UNTIL a muggle heard us rustling about and told us that he had not seen it in its place for the past 5 years BUT hey who knows maybe we just couldn't find it hence the DNF

Found it, though took a bit of a search! Thanks

Tdzt

Couldn't find it at first but decided to come back - then it only took a couple of minutes. Funny that

Found it but didn’t open it or touch it due to Covid. What a crazy time we live in

Interesting little pathway

Found by Shameless squad

Nice little bush walk by the Ellerslie Playcentre

Found but didn't have a pen; photo of logbook for proof

AMAZING also it is an old small tree, in between rocks

AMAZING

Oooh got attacked by mosquitoes. Midday visit with little Ryder and he had 5 on him all at once. Abandoned the search.

Mr four was very happy with this find

Great little reserve!
Allok
Thanks!

We put in a new bag snd log paper as current one was damp. Such a great playcentre nextdoor.

TFTC. The log is damp so it might need replacement

There were a few more boulders and small trees in the area than I anticipated (!), but yes, the hint made sense when I found the cache. Logbook is damp.
Lovely little "bush walk". Thanks for bringing me here.
TFTC!

Great easy quick find!! What a beautiful little spot for a picnic

First cache for our family

Could not find this one last time we were at this little park even though we tried very hard. This time we found the cache straight away with no difficulties at all. Not sure how we missed this one last time but all good now and thanks placing and maintaining this cache.

Always tricky getting the ones under trees but a bit of perserverance I found it

The signal jumps around a bit once you are in the bush but it was relatively easy to find.

Yay

Continue to struggle with this one as our GPS goes crazy every time we enter the bush

Second time here, but nice and quiet down this way late afternoon. Make a quick find in the easier place today, great to tick this one off, TFTC

Had some spare time in Ellerslie before an afternoon lunch work shout for end of year breakup. Thought I might head to the nearest cache to Mexico restaurant (that I haven't done). This was it. Thought I was in for a big search but only took 5 mins. Don't know about the large boulder but. Thanks for the cache.

Had our eye on this one for quite a while as i didnt think it was too far from home but had noted the dnfs and decided to leave it.We were off to fill in a few of the gaps on our map today and on our way we just noticed this one had started to be found again so made a quick stop.Parked up nearby.We were expecting it to be really busy with the amount of cars nearby but had the place to ourselves.A nice reserve and we soon found this well hidden cache.
