Pacman went to the lake but didn't sat - he was here to pick up rubbish during a CITO nearby Smile.
This was the first find of the day, and the little container actually took a while to locate.
Thanks Na'wal.

With nothing important to be done today, I decided to come out for a stroll and to find the caches scattered around this lake. A lovely place for a walk or a ride. I really enjoyed my walk here in an area of Lara I would not otherwise have visited.
Thanks

Find number 7386 at 12:30:09 pm
Just ducked out for a quick cache or two today (a mere 240 km's) before heading home to do some chores.
Last time I was here I was a little pressed for time and the immense pressure obviously created great stress causing me to overlook this hide that was found today in about 27 seconds flat.
Ahhhh well, that's the way it goes sometimes...
**Thanks for placing this cache Na'wal**

This story made for great entertainment as OzHockeyChick, beckNmonts and Geoturtle37 and I walked around the "just" lake. There was some water, but certainly not a lot. We took the pleasant stroll and were lucky enough to pick up all the caches as well as a couple on the side streets. There were a few muggles around but they had no interest in what we were up to.

Had a bit of time to kill before high tide at Hovells Creek, so Papi4506, Geoturtle37, beckNmonts and I took the opportunity to take a lovely stroll around the lake. Thanks for the entertaining story, Na'wal
 
11-Mar-19
Today, we were plagued with bad luck between high tides. So we decided that this series would be a good one. How much bad luck could we have hinting crocodiles? Thanks so much for placing this series Na'wal, very entertaining!
 
03-Mar-19
Its starting to get a little hot on this wander round the lake.

But still great to gather some more smileys.

This was a quick find today.

I signed and moved on.

TFTC Na'wal and your continued maintenance. Lake is looking a little dry at this time of year. Good for us to be on familiar ground again. A short search, and multiple approach angles soon had us on to the right spot. Nana spook soon had her beady eyes on the prize. TNLN

Couldn't spot this one today.
 
08-Dec-18
In the area for the Christmas events, so taking the opportunity with omegaman1971 to do some of the local hides inbetween. As all the events were in different areas, it gave a variety of finds by different owners. We only had a few DNF's and made some good discoveries and clever hides during the day. While we met a few other teams along the way, we had some fun and laughs along the way.

Another enjoyable hide in the series.

Thanks Na'wal for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Cheers for the cache.

Our GPS initially wanted us at a different location but when the cache was not found, we widened the search area and soon located the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Na'wal for the cache.

02-Nov-17
Decided to detour to try to find a few caches on our way to Geelong today.
Nice quiet area this am but this did not help us in find this cache after searching for some time.
TFTC Na'wal that we may find some time in the future?

Pat was not there at the time but the cache was!
 
24-Jul-16
A bit odd this one... Found a container and in it was a piece of paper that said "When was Baden-Powel born?" May be this was part of a multi? We signed the piece of of paper and continued on our way. Desperate to dodge raindrops. TFTC
 
24-Jul-16
This one was very strange.... Cache was in different location, a different container and no log. Moved slightly and placed a new log.

Out to do this series today. A nice lovely walk around a very beautiful lake. A place I had never been before. A lovely walk was accompanied by a lovely story. Thanks na'wal for the effort involved.

Had to PAF on this one as I couldn't see anything. After a little clue as to what we were after we finally found it tucked away nicely. Another piece of pats story.

Log signed and replaced.

Out for some afternoon caching with Erinrobnick while they are in geelong on a holiday. I have stopped to to this walking series twice before and both times it started raining as we were approaching in the car or as we came to the first point. Today it started spitting as we were on the way but we were determined - luckily the rain dissapeared as quick as it came. A great series around a beautiful part of lara. Thank you Na'wal.

I had planned to walk the whole track, 3 walks in one day! But there were Geese. Yep. Not my most feared bird, but up there on the list. Geese are vicious. I was back to the car, then skipped a few. I'll be back. Thanks for the cache Na'wal.
