Sadly this geocache attracts attention from street kids that continually mess with it. Hope to relist this geocache nearby soon. This location worth the visit even if one cannot log a find. Cheers

We found it, but only by chance. Had a good look around GZ and it was nowhere to be seen. There's not a lot that a magnetic key safe can be attached to so including the use of the clue we were pretty sure where it should have been. After giving up and resigning to logging a DNF, we went to walk the rest of the circuit and scarletlake14 decided to look around our friend Limnodynastes Tasmaniensis and lo and behold there was the cache, 65m from GZ. We put it back where we thought it should be. Thanks for the find, what a lovely lake.
 
18-Feb-16
Sorry to those who had to log a DNF. The cache had been "muggled" yet again. Thanks to a very observant fellow geocacher the 'lost' container was spotted some 65 meters from GZ. It has now been restored to its rightful hide. *Bit too much "muggle interference" up in these here woods.
 
13-Feb-16
Got it nice and easy
 
11-Feb-16
We looked at the GZ but no cache.

We were staying in Rawson for a the long weekend and doing a spot of caching and 4wding while we were here. Today we were heading off into the forest to chase some unloved and do some 4wding in the process, and this one was first cab off the rank.
After parking the big flash Prado at a suitable spot, we took the short stroll into the park and wandered around the lake until we got to GZ, then after a very short search, the cache was found and we signed our lives away.
It is a very nice park with all the birds and duckys out today.

Thanks LemurMan1 for 1 of a few of yours we did today.

We're camping at Rawson is our little reborn caravan and sight seeing and caching in the area.
After grabbing some earlier in the day, we went for a look at the lake after dinner.
Wow what a lovely lake. The trees, reflections, lawns, flowers, water birds, everything looked fantastic.
The cache was found with the aid of the generous hint, all very nice.
Thanks for placing this cache LemurMan1

SuperPop was in town and we decided to make the most of the good weather and go for a drive to Walhalla after enjoying a fantastic counter meal at the Erica pub we stopped here on the way back and went for a stroll around the lake, a good idea after the big meal we had. there were many birds but fortunately there was only a couple of muggles and once they had passed by SuperPop soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks LemurMan 1 for the cache.

Find #305

An early morning caching run before some work meetings in the area and having got the other cache nearby this was in too good a spot to pass over. A pleasant stroll around the lake admiring the water birds and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for this one and for your great caches in this area LemurMan1.

Please delete attached photo if you are spoiler sensitive. I am .K.B. and I live in Perth. When I visit my niece E (aged 6), nephew O, their mum K and dad R in Melbourne, I take the kids caching. They are currently holidaying in Rawson and I mentioned in a photo they posted on fb that I hope they'd found a cache. They have neither a GPSr not the app on their phone but by sending through the coordinate and my sister loading in into googlemaps, she was able to navigate to your cache on a rainy afternoon today. The kids were VERY excited to find a cache without my help and a photo of 8 year old O was duly taken to show his achievement. He thinks your "hint was perfect". Big Grin Thanks for providing some holiday fun for my niece and nephew. EKOR say a big thanks too.
