I live too far away now and even though this was a great spot, and good for tourists, I will reluctantly have to let it go. Thanks to all who looked for it.

Arrived at GZ to find a couple of Kiwi muggles in their van, having a cuppa at the picnic table.
While +wife distracted them with our three dogs, I set about finding the cache.
Finding it was the easy part, retrieving it was another story.
Soon enough I had the cache back in the GeoPrado and was signing the log.
Added a new zip seal bag, swapped: out an angel, in: a cow's head on a suction cup.
Visited some TBs and dropped the cache back where it came from.
It was about then that a family of muggles arrived with eskys etc and set up for a picnic at GZ.
Thanks for the cache Wal-len.

Mrs Crackers joined Alansee and The Drovers for a days caching through the hills up to Mt Donna Buang via Healseville and then home via Warrandyte.
We saw some fantastic scenery and found some good caches.
It was a bit early for a lunch stop so we had to satisfy ourselves with a search for a cache instead which fortunately was a nice quick one and we had added our names to the log and were heading off to the next one.
 
06-Jan-15
Ahh... that sort of Lion. A bit close to the cars whizzing past to be quiet, but a nice spot nontheless, thanks Wal-len.

Received an invite from Alansee - a drive into the high country for some sightseeing and caching.
Mrs Crackers from Team Crackers joined us, on this great day out.
We visited some very pretty places, and found a good variety of caches.

This cache was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Wal-len, for us and others to find.
