Couldn't find after a moderately thorough search of the structure at GZ.
May need a CO check, especially as previous logs have mentioned it is full...

the gps had me at the pond edge but i checked every possible hide on the whole hill with no luck. hopefully the owner gas it for some maintenance
Not the best spot to look inconspicuous, but I went koi spotting until all the muggles had disappeared.
0 koi found, 1 nano though... so still a win

On approach I was confused about where this magnetic nano could be, closer in it become very obvious though. Can't say I got it on the first try, more like the third or so, but that's much better than most nanos. The log appears full now, I took the last spot when I found signatures beyond it on the roll although I didn't unroll it the whole way to check.
[:(!] Did a bit of caching before going to square dancing, parked the geocar close to GZ and walked in from there, arrived at GZ, I knew where to look but which one and within several minutes I finally had the cache in hand. SL TFTCF/TFTH
Found after a thorough check of the obvious location. Stopped to feed our left over hot cross buns to the Koi but they were not interested - probably had their fill over the Easter break.
Bit of a tease this one, the GPS had me right to the spot then moved me about 5 metres. Checked all the obvious places but could not find it, must be missing something judging by others
Oh well
Oh well
WanderingAus wandered by on a not very successful moveable frog hunt, and on the way I decided to hunt this one down. The gpsr was pointing me out into the pond, so I decided to read the cache description and then made a fairly quick and easy GAFF 1 find.
My find No 4624, TNLNSL.

Luckily we spotted this one almost together. Nice pond Koi.
Thanks to Clan Willow and clear skies from TeamAstro.
Found it with roma stephens. First time I actually found the cache. Normally the children are there first. Saw 1 koi. It was as big a the loch ness monster!
wow i would not of thought to find this. i had help from matty16 and daz89. good fun
An easy find but dodging the mugglers with their dogs made it a little more time consuming. TFTC
Yes, careful extraction and replacement are critical for this hide. We didn't see any Koi today. Thanks for the cache Clan Willow.
A quick find between dog muggles walking by on the path.
Thanks Clan Willow for the cache.
Thanks Clan Willow for the cache.
Found with Team YThere. Seriously were worried about knocking this cache and losing it forever, however located and replaced within a short few minutes. TFTC
Yeah as Krabiboy said.....was scared we were going to drop it!
Great day out 1 of 23 for the day

This was a novel hiding spot! Found and retrieved between passing muggles. Thanks for the hunt Clan Willow.
A relatively quick find, we saw at least 7 very large Koi possibly more... TFTH
Came back today to do some more caches in the area, and decided to stop and look for my pen again. This time with 2 of us searching it was soon back in our possession. All good. Yay!
Yay, found it - gotta love local caches!. Had us stumped for a minute as we didnt realise a nano was this size. TFTH.
Rhombus.
BTW, i said gday to the Koi for you.

After spending 3 days resting. Mrs Felix decided it was time to get out and about again. Headed over to this area to find the geocachingaustralia moveable cache- "cache cache" then found a few others nearby. TFTC Clan Willow. N.B I lost my write in the rain 'Inka' pen somewhere today if anyone finds it I would appreciate it back. I retraced my steps here hoping to find my pen, pretty sure this is where I lost it, but couldn't find it?
Came along with my brother and as he'd already found the cache, he stood back and let me have a look. I found it in the first place I stuck my fingers. TFTC!
Despite the tornado, high winds and rain, i thought I'd just pop
out for an hour or so and pick up a few straggling caches.
Arrived at GZ and the rain was beating down, so made a quick grab
and returned to the car to play with the fiddly log.

TFTC,
What a way to get the heart started in the morning. I spotted the cache before the GPS connected, but retrieving it proved to be a little tricky. I somehow managed to get it into a position where it could have easily fallen, but thankfully I was able to use both hands to remove it. TFTC
Found after a short search, very nearly dropped it, then wondered how I would have retreived it

WOOHOO!! FTF @ 7am
Woke up this morning and checked my email, and saw that this one had got published last night pretty late, only 2.8kms from home. I had a quick look, and no-one had logged it yet, so I jumped straight in the car, and put the coords in the GPS on the way.
Arrived at the park, and saw where I thought GZ would be, but then my GPS was pointing me the other way, towards a group of trees. I thought I had put in the wrong coords, as I couldn't see anywhere to hide a magnetic nano, but then it all became clear. And yes, it was an easy find in the second place I looked
Lovely park, thankfully there was no-one around at this time of the rmorning. Thanks for the cache Clan Willow!
