My first DNF! Will try again sometime as this one could be very well hidden (also a few metal muggles past us while looking)
Suscoe's 15th find of the day.

Looks like a bit of work is perhaps planned for the entrance.

A spontaneous decision, when the tablet found a signal. Muggle farmer warned us about snakes, and our Muggle companion found this without trying (Beginner's Luck). Thanks for the cache, another stop for my trackable.

Took a while as our GPS has been playing up and we didnt know whether to trust it, but yes there it was, right where it told us. Just not where we were looking. tftc

Surprisingly busy stretch of road which made an other wise easy find harder than it could have been. Even had a couple of cars entering and leaving the racecourse itself.
Eventually had a break in traffic and was able to make the retrieve. Had trouble extracting the log due the the 'swaps' that had been jammed in the container but washable to finally work it out to sign.

Driving westward in convoy with team Pprass with the ultimate destination for the end of the week being the ‘Big Little Event at Nelson. The controversy about jumps in other parts of the State don't seem to have spread to this location!

After finding Darn Straight we drove along the dirt road to the front entrance. Mr80 picked up this one. Enjoyed looking at both sides of the racecourse. TFTC
First find for a day caching around Hamilton. Nice quick find. Quiet day at the races today. TFTC
Found by Mary & David at 0850. Almost a drive-by. Really enjoyed a cache like this with some facts and figures. A nice quick one in between arriving and departing tradies. Then we took a little more time to enjoy the beautiful flowers. Our thanks to AngelFeather.
Staying at the Grampians for the week. Time for some sight seeing & the best way is thru geocaching. SL TNLN TFTC
We pulled up at GZ just as the heavens opened their gates. Luckily the cache was found in seconds and retreated to the car to sign log. Drove closer to GZ to replace. TFTC.
It wasn't a race day today. No floats, jocks or punters. Just a lone cacher.
Promise I did not leave a plastic dinosaur! Thanks to AngelFeather and clear skies from TeamAstro.
Did a bit of a maintenance check on this one today after yesterday's comments. Thankyou to jantoshy's for informing. All is well
