In perfect weather conditions we went to look for this cache today. It was a very pleasant walk and we were soon at GZ. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache huxiekez.

Presence of a fair amount of green weeds made this one a little tricky but eventually found it! FYI not much green paint left on container

Found It!
This one took me quite a bit longer to spot than it should have. I don't really know why....
No ducks were seen and no quacks were heard. Nice place to sit in the shade though...

Bummer! DNF, but may have been due to wearing thongs and trying to avoid being attacked by bull ants!

Yay first find of the New Year. Heading into the city to see if we can find some city caches while the muggles are still sleeping off last night.
Cute swapables and thanks for bringing us to this lovely area of Hallett Cove. We will be back to explore more.

Out with Roffer enjoying a walk on this nice warm spring day and grabbing a few caches. Had to wait for a couple to move from GZ before we could move in and make the find. Not much water flowing here at the moment, but a nice peaceful spot nonetheless. TFTC!

I got excited by the promise of ducks! Managed to grab this hide reasonably quick then made my way up to the ducks. There was a huge one and I probably got far too excited than a guy in his 20s should but I like ducks. TFTC

Caught a glimpse of it when i was close to giving up. TFTC Great quiet spot for a walk.

Having never been to the Hallett Cove Conservation Park before I thought it a good opportunity to go for a walk this morning and pick up a few caches along the way. This was the first. It was an overcast morning but there were still lots of ducks about and birds flying and squawking and I had a great walk. The water was flowing in the creek and all was peaceful and serene. CoolCool Got to GZ and found the cache after sussing the area, signed the log, left TB, replaced cache and continued on my walk. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here huxiekez.

20-May-12
Started on wrong side.. Thought I could take a short cut while driving by that area... Not so..
Off to the park itself, but fab day for a walk anyway... Couldn't find it at first and wondered if it had been distrubed in the re vamping of the creek, but found it just as geokids wanted to give up..
TFTC.. Smile

Nice little spot while walking around the area. No dodgy doctors were seen during the caching of this cache. TFTC.
 
30-Jul-11
I was really hoping to find things that go "quack!", but we didn't see any. Instead, there was lots of splashing noises and I took the opportunity to throw things in the water - one of my most favourite things in the whole world! TFTC.
 
25-Jul-11
No Ducks today, it was a little cold and late in the afternoon, can imagine would be nice spot to sit on a warm day. TFTC

22-Apr-11
I checked out this listing this morning to find that there were no finds logged. I headed out with the hope of getting a FTF.

After a pleasant morning walk in the park I arrived at GZ and located the cache easily enough. But there was some markings in the log book from a finder claiming the magic FTF for this cache, very frustrating.

Thanks for the cache huxiekez.

Very quiet in the park this morning. Nothing but the sound of a collapsing bridge. TFTC huxiekez SL
