Time to pull up stumps. This one has served it's purpose Thanks to all who have found.

Yay. Came back a different day and found it. First to sign the new log.

Found the cache, didn't end up finding the log book, starred to get scratched up from the grass so decided to call it an afternoon.

found the first cach easily took a little to find the log

Replaced container and log book. All good to go. Thanks to Saintsmadhouse for temporary maintenance.

Arrived at GZ and wondered where to start, I spent a bit of time looking in the obvious spots and managed to find both containers very quickly, almost side by side. I dragged them out into the open area to log and I'm glad I did. the caches are soaking wet. I dried as best I could. the Logbook is dead. I sealed it in a new zip bag and replaced it for CO to grab. I places a piece of waterproof paper in a separate bag for new logging. I replaced the caches as found and wandered out. interesting contrasts in the buildings.

Found both easily. Wet slimy and smelly. Logbook is like jelly.

It had stopped raining a little so Captain Terror and I were able to find this one without the effort of carrying umbrellas For some reason dakota (The Captains GPSR) decided that there should be a path between two houses... which didn't exist in real life.

When we found the right path we were surprised that the water was so high and the Captain got a little concerned about his CITO up the creek a little bit. When we got closer to GZ the captain decided to go the direct route through the bush where as i went around and got there only a few seconds later.

After a few minutes he had found a cache but it was really wet inside... then he found another cache that was nice and dry .. we were quite confused but signed the dry log and replaced them both and headed back to the car. Thanks for the cache geckomaster

Out with Net88 and this one was to be next. After some confusion with roads marked on the GPSr that didn't exist, we found a park and a track to where we wanted to go. Thankfully on this wet day the showers had eased up for now. The signs of heavy rains are evident here, lots of erosion under the bridge and flood debris all around, that and the very high water level, the bridge we crossed only just keeping it's nose above the ripples.

Onto the cache and a bush bash seemed to be a good idea, but Net found the easier way around. At GZ I commenced the hunt and quickly found the cache with the logbook. I read the cache description at this point and was confused as to why there were two caches here? I also quickly found the other container. Inside it was a dry logsheet which I signed as the smaller container was well sodden inside and quite tangy smelling. Not entirely sure what the thinking was here, but replaced all back and headed for the car again. TFTC geckomaster62

Arrived at GZ and started thinking I was in for a long search for a sneaky GM62..... imagine my surprise when I found it quickly!!

Thanks GM62 for a quick find on a hot day!!

Ok so I didn't have pen but took the tb Lief. Tftc

Found with out to much trouble, last one for the day gotta
get out of this heat. Left T.B

TFTC geckomaster62 Cheers

Quick find for the first container. However, the second container took me forever. It was well hidden with natural camo. I probably made it harder than it was and overthought it......well, it is a GM62 hide after all. The logbook in the second container was damp, but I was still able to sign the log.

Sweet found it, lost my pen will have to come back and log visit in pen later and could do with a new log book

Oooops thought we had found this one but reading previous logs obviously we found the decoy. Will have to come back

Cool container that was reminiscent of something familiar. Maybe it's 'cos a friend was banging on the front door at 7am this morning to do my hair for a party tonight and i was still a wee bit drowsy, but I managed to toss the contents of container #1 all over the shop when prising off the lid. All back in with a cute little ladybug and then a quick rummage for container #2 ('cos I did read the description Russelz, lol).

Soggy loggy and a bit wet in the bottom but otherwise ok. Sorry I didn't have anything except my nice clean clothing and wasn't able to dry it out .

Nice spot, easy to hide from oncoming muggles...

TFTC GM62

A cheeky little cache in a private setting. At least I could hear or see muggles approaching

All good with a relevant hint. First contents all good but water in the log book one. Tried to dry it a little but don't think I did enough to keep it drier than wetter.

TFTC geckomaster62

With no cache notes i did not realise there was a twist to this one. Hnece I merely left a signed page in the container that I located. Now I see it is a GM62 cache heaven help me

.

Log page missing

Bush bashing!

Good hide - though the sharp grass did nearly make MrsMad lose an eye!!! Too busy looking and not enough concentrating on what was around!! Stocked up the non log book container with more swaps.

Found the first one and thought this is easy, took a while to locate the log though, a great idea thanks geckomaster62

Spent a few minutes looking for the logbook after finding the cache. Finding one helps finding the second
Great spot, out of view of muggles if you don't count the occasional busdriver!

Found on a very successful hunting trip with flower1. Thanks for the cache and the great tour Geckomaster.

Remembering a previous fruitless visit to this area, we headed towards GZ where we quickly found the no log book container. A further search soon revealed the log book container and we were on our way.

Last one for our day of GM62 caches - thanks for an entertaining day

Yup I thunk we got ut - third attumpt so am huppy . Thunks Gunnie and thunks Geckomaster.

On our way to a GM62 event, we thought we might stop and try for a couple of caches before we arrived . We followed the GPS directions into the 'village' community in front of us, but then had second thoughts about our approach angle . We returned to the front car-park, and made our way from there.
Eventually we were at GZ, where Janine made a quick find … or so we thought. The following conversation went something like this …
Me : ""DDYYLLAANN … bring back the log book""
Dylan: " I haven't got the log book daddy"
Me : "Well where is the log book ?"
Janine : *Silence*
Dylan : "Idunno daddy
Me : "Hang on .. this is a GM62 cache, maybe we should read some logs "
Janine : "Yep, ok … there's a decoy."
Me : "That bl#*%y geckomaster … there's always something" .
We began our search again and after a minute or three, Janine came up trumps with another container and a log book . Thank you guys for that element of difference .. and another enjoyable cache

Sneaking in a cache on the way home from the event, Bubbly_One and I parked at the end of the housing estate and took to the path. We had just hit GZ and were moving in for the hunt when a voice exhibiting a very "thuck icksunt" ... We were joined by a fellow hunter from the land of the long white cloud who now resides close by... Hi there...

The positive side of the additional hunter was an extra snippet of information that was provided, and the fact she had found the "cache" (but not the log) before. Hmm...

On with the hunt, the cache was found quickly once we were in the right area. After a few seconds, the log was also secured, much to the relief of all...

When I read the hint, I had nightmares of Jackson and Bennett. That was a nasty, nasty cache. Fortunately, this one caused me mush less grief... [^]

Cheers Geckomaster62.

I found the decoy, no log
read though the cache notes again .....and back to the search.

I soon found the log.

I'd been in here before for the previous cache which was actually muggled at the time so I spent a fruitless time.
On this occasion I got in the right area quickly and found the decoy. Then I was at a loss for a bit before finding the log and signing with relief.
Thanks!

I seem to recall I parked on the wrong side of a fence here once and had to take the acrobatic approach to the previous cache. This time, I had a pleasant stroll to GZ but that's where it all went pear-shaped . You'll understand that it's quite dark at 7:30pm and it took me a while just to get to where the cache is. Between the prickly bushes, the tickley bushes and the downright annoying bushes, I wasted way too much time before I finally had the cache in hand. Of course, there was no logbook to be had, so I then spent a lot more time finding that. No one will be more surprised than me to know that I wasn't bitten, stung or otherwise injured in this hunt. Signed the log and went off to see who lives down a lane I know of . You can stop hiding caches now GM [xx(].

Found decoy first, then the real. Tftc.

Quick find today on the way home from work. TFTC

Yep found 2 caches, typical gecko. TFTC

Nice quick find with half of TLJL

We found this much harder than the rating suggests! iPhone was not helpful, sending us all over the place and there is so much flood debris in there, it was like finding decoy after decoy. After quite a while, I was within seconds of PAGM (Phone A GeckoMaster) when the iPhone sent us to one more spot, and suddenly there it was. Geoson went back in to find cache 2 and all was well at last. I suspect that finding this one is very helpful for a subsequent attempt at Jackson & Bennett and vice versa. TFTC GM62!

The cache was one of 107 finds during a three day visit to Brisbane from Melbourne where it was work during the day and caching during the night.
Found the first cache quickly enough and was a bit confused about there being no logbook. Oh well , that happens on occasions. Reread the description and realised i'd overlooked some important parts so after another hunt around the cache with the logbook was found. Phew . . An interesting trad.
Thanks for the hide.

I was bicycling around the area on a cache hiding mission when I noticed a Stellar opportunity to find a cache as well
For some reason I have never noticed this cache symbol passing by the GPS' display, despite riding and driving past within a few hundred metres, dozens of times since the cache's release
It was a quick detour along some familiar alleys and bike tracks from Creek Road to reach a very busey place
To the sounds and smells of the Volvo B7RLE's and B12BLE's behind the fence I had a search around for a cache.
Two caches as it turned out
As I started me search I thought I had worked out the meaning of the clue correctly
But a few moments of confusion occurred when I found a nice shiny 12 inch long bread knife lying in the grass close to GZ [:o]
Turns out that this particular "Oynqr" was a furphy.
So I am now the proud owner of both a smilie for this cache and a kitchen utensil which my home had been sadly lacking until now [^]

These caches are fun. I work in the tree industry, contracted to counsil, so me wandering through the bush with a hi vis shirt, company logo on my back & gps in hand arouses no suspicion at all. Nice cache. Pity the two containers were in the same place. Was looking forward to a double hunt. SL. TNLN. TFTC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 3:41pm. WE drove into the other estate first and had to come out and find another entrance to GZ. After a short walk we found the cache which is quite different. TFTC

Found with KidzJCT.

Found with TuisReturn, logging finds now back in NZ tftc

Took t hard path thru bush, quick find tftc

Nice easy access, past the smoking muggle enjoying the stream, and an easy find out of view. Cheers Gav [8686]

Wow - two cache containers.

Lovely little spot. Easy for geokids to find and a nice playground nearby. Made some swaps, signed log & picked up traveller to move on.

Something different and a little bit tricky. Good one. Left Travel GPS Geocoin in case the next cacher needs some help.

Lokipagan and I searched for this one. We entered the area slightly wrong, but we came up to GZ after a bit of a hunt. I came up with the cache after a small hunt. Twas getting dark in the forest! TFTC geckomaster62

I'd probably call this a terrain 2 but we did manage to keep our feet dry getting to the cache! Fangsoki quickly spotted this one. Nicely hidden and an interesting area. Thanks geckomaster62

Found it No. 3670 ... GPS had us going around in cycles for a while ... TNLN ... TFTC Geckomaster62

I parked as a visitor and walked along the path. I resisted the urge to see if Stellar was home.

Arriving at GZ the cache and log both came to hand quickly.

Thanks GM62 for another interesting location

TFTC SL took rock left duck.

Quick find which was good considering the amount of time that i spent looking for the previous cache.

Area is somewhat overgrown compared to last time i was here.

Last night we saw this had been published earlier inthe day and looked again this morning to see that it was still unfound.

We had been to this area a few years ago - 3 times - before we found that one and figured this one might turn out the same (pls see all other GM62 caches for further info).

At GZ there was plenty of signs of fast flowing water and caching like activity.

Please note that just because If reckons that wading through waist high grass in mud is what real cachers do, you don't have to believe him.

Back to GZ, we stood around surveying the area, wandering whether the tree cover was enough to put the GPSr off when we spotted something that looked a bit out a place. So like little Jack Horner, we pulled out a cache - as it turned out.

We then set about finding the other container - just to make sure we had actually found the cache and to complete the allotted tasks.

We employed the same technique and pulled out another container with a nice piece of purple rock in it but no drink flask.

We headed of with a smile on our face.
