No response, I had a look for this one today, might need owner to look check it out..
Checked on this one today and is not where it should be as I have found it before.
Needs to be replaced or archived.

First one for the day and no luck... I hate not finding the first cache we look for because it generally sets the standard for the day, and it was a pretty average geo-day. There are a few DNF so might need to be checked by owner.
searched all around with no luck.
will try again later when back out this way

Had a look around but could not see anything. maybe we'll have more luck next time.
Took the geo-brats out for a picnic today and decided that since i unpacked the car that it was only fair that they find the first cache for me. so Chook95 and Smile_z took on the challange and all i had to do was push the pen. oh how hard it can be at times.
TN but left a keyring to top up.

Reperio at 1400. On such a beautiful day for a walk, Darwinian and I decided to head over here to take in the walk around the water works. We stopped by this one first and had a bite to eat at the nearby picnic tables and then wandered over to GZ where the cache was soon found. Wasn't expecting this area to be so nice!

Swarming with muggles today, but they were more interested in the train. Took a while, but we found it undetected. TFTC
A lovely place with lots of people enjoying a Sunday in the sun. Was far enough away from the crowds to grab this one. A big cache for such a busy area. Thank you for bringing us here and for the cache.
Nice walk around walka water works, not a person in sight. Nice easy find TFTC.

Our 4945th overall find.
2:42 PM This cache was going to be the first cache in the reserve today but there was a workman in a truck nearby watching the area so I continued on and found the other 5 that I still had out here and then came back to make a quick find on this one. The area was a bit wet but the cache was fine.
Thanks to team_stevens for the cache.

Decided to head out with the family and grab a couple of caches.
So today we went back to the Walka Water Works for the umpteenth time.
Enjoyed a nice walk around to a couple of other caches before returning to this one.
Mrs Cash Man quickly located the cache before a nearby party of muggles even knew we were there.
Sat and logged the cache enjoying the surroundings.
Thanks team stevens

we were coming here to find all in the area but it was a bit late by the time we got there so we just went for the one love this area TNLN SL TFTC, we will be back!
This was the last one at the works for the day. As we arrived so did the rain. A quick survey of the area located the hide and with a quick check that the rain had driven everyone away we grabbed the hide. Took 2 geocoins and left one. TFTC Team Stevens. [944]

Today was an arvo for the kids and their friends, and we got to ride on the mini train longer that I ever had before. The extended track is open again finally, and great f un for the kids at only $3 per head. (closed in shoes required)
After our train ride we sat under a willow and fed the turtles. There are more turtles here that I ever seen in one place before.
Then we went for a walk and let the kids get the glory of the find.
Fun had by all, even if I had to run back to the car to get a pen.
TFTC.
Left some beaut coins behind.
We love Walka Water Works and have been here a few times caching. This time, despite being at beautiful sunny afernoon, there was not a single person about. We had the place to ourselves. We parked nearby and didn't have to walk far to get to GZ. It didn't take long before Marco had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC
Cleaned up a few of the WWW caches after work, this one being the first for the afternoon. This one is really a drive by, so I had it signed off in no time. Didn't even have to pay to get in - the boom gate's gone! The only person in sight was a bike rider doing his warm down stretches before leaving. Makes me want to throw my dreadly treadly into the back of the car again now that it's not so hot. TFTC Team Stevens.
We love the old water works having only discovered it due to caching and any excuse to come back is welcome. Quick find with no muggles about. TFTC

Found this one after a bit of a search, coordinates seem to be a bit off, TFTC.
A joint FTF with Mr Morgan of Morgans2320 at 10pm. Very dark out there at that time. We had difficulties locating the cache at the given co ords so broadened our search to another nearby likely target and came up with the goods. TFTC
Joint FTF with Mrs. Burners at 10:00PM. Cache not at given coords. Tried other likely location approximately 24 metres away and came up with the goods. SL TFTC
