Was in the area for a geokid’s soccer game and thought I would wander down. Normally I would find a cache pretty quickly but this one had me questioning the accuracy of the gps and my sanity. I tried various obvious spots trying to work out the hidy hole. Even looked at logs and thought hazza new coords, but nope they were updated by the CO.
Then I had a ponder about a log entry and looked again. Yippee. How the hell did I miss that obvious and well made cache. Clearly overthought this one. So easy to do when you get use to the standard eclipse, bison tube etc containers.
Fav point for the work that went into this one and the head scratch.
That said pen failed so photo for proof. Will wander back next time nearby and add the official scribble.

Searched everywhere and no sign of it. Please can we have a check to see that it is still here
Second time we have attempted this cache. Spent an hour crawling on the floor with my cousin and uncle trying to find this

A nice new bike path and a great new 3D printed container! Love it! Took me a embarrassingly long time to find it though. TFTC!
Found with taytayy1!
I think we may be the first finders to attack this cache from Environa, rather than Jerrabomberra!
Parked on the new road as we spotted this cache was only a short walk away and recently had maintenance done. The DNF's didn't worry me too much due to them being on the same day, so assumed it was a group. Given it's location it would be strange if it had gone missing again already!
Started the search about 3m away from the cache, which is where my device pointed. Given the hint, there was only 1 possible hide at GZ. So I slowly made my way along, extending in both directions, until I finally hit gold!
Ohhhh that is a cool container! I appreciate the effort gone into designing / making this! It is a perfect container for this hide too!
Everything was in good condition so we signed the log, our final for the day!
Thanks

Cache has been moved to a new location, with a different type of container and hide method.
I was hoping the construction work would be finished by now but it isn't. I will go and see if I can move it nearby.
Took a little digging to locate but found. The river was rushing today and the GZ provided a great viewing spot. This area looks to be getting a facelift over the next 12 months and this GZ may be impacted. TFTC
Relatively straightforward find, but there some prickly guardians around which made things a bit unpleasant. Beautiful view over the creek through.

After a bit of election watching and lamenting about what to do in the area after the nearby FTF, I decided to do some of the local caches in this neighborhood as I had never been but often looked a these caches here.
I meet Aykayem again which had the same idea and so we joined forces and made quick finds with most caches, only 1 DNF. It was a fun afternoon getting to know this development.
Quick find, we were really thankful that the grass had been mowed here, all in good order and very nice views
Thank you justjessie for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Aquilus1 and I were close by, so thought why not get it now. Can’t believe the road work going on not so nearby. That’s a big road! Tftc justjessie!!!
After returning from the nearby new cache with dty73 and Tankengine this was too close to not come to find. Water is rushing past in the creek from last nights rain. Cache was well hidden but found okay. Thanks for the cache!
Found. Tftc. I dropped the container and had to search for it in the long grass. But found it in the end.
Have been advised that the container was dropped and can't be found. Will have to replace it.
Had a look at this on my way past this morning, and yes, the grass and weeds are long along the fence line. However, the cache is easily spotted if you read the hint and it is not near any prickly weeds, just some long grass.
Be careful not to cut your fingers on this one! Lots of wires. Probably not the safest.
Didn't realise this was so close to Environa! Nice down by the lake, but very quiet today. Cache found all OK.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Found while visiting the area Thanks for the cache Cheers P S needs new log sheet Thanks
