Logs
We both found this hard to find and the hint was confusing but taught us something new. Thank you for putting the cache here for us to find.
Had a really good look in and around the park using the clues and others logs but didn't find it.
Found after the same mucking around every one else has experienced. More of a log than a stump and as for the blackberries we had a great feed but no need to go near them for the cache.However you do have to be be careful for the sword grass at GZ as it can cause nasty cuts if you are not careful and grab it.As everyone else the log was wet and the cache was dirty and the O ring wasnt sealing due to the dirt.So we took it back to the car for some maintenance!!!!! Dried the log which worked a treat, renewed the snap lock bag, completely cleaned up the O ring and the box.. like new and good to go!!!TFTC
We set off to this cache and I thought we must be going to the wrong place as it seemed to be a residential area.Well hello, a tucked away little park appeared!As we approached GZ the curious neighbour over the fence was watching but we did a few laps and he settled into reading his newspaper.The cache wasn't quite where we were expecting but with spiffys perseverance we found it.thanks for showing the little park
With the enjoyment and fun last Saturday with the JuzzMagic caches KristysAdventures, Snips and Co and myself headed back out here to finish off the current ones even though we knew some others were coming. Of course they then got published just after we got back home! Snips and Co joined us for a little with the geodog but after completing half a dozen or so decided to leave us to continue by ourselves.After lunch we headed here and after a short search we found nothing and I moved further afield to a location that didn't really match the hint and the cache was then easily spotted.Thanks vk3gs&cc for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
Very damp squelchy walk to GZ and with no kids on board we just found, signed on the waterproof paper (yes it’s wet) and continued on our way. Thanks for the w
This one was quite easy but we didn't log the paper scroll because it was socked with water so you might need it change it.
Found it! So many stumps to choose from and a wayward navigating device! A great little park. Blackberries are about to take over at GZ. There was a guy washing his car and trail bike, I wondered if he may be the cache owner. The nearby house has a great view from their windows! TFTC SL
Very clever. Was doing my head in that it wasn’t where I thought, but persistence paid off
I expected this to be a quick and easy find, but it was actually quite tricky. There are a few blackberries at GZ, and the grass is very long. I checked the obvious places, and was about to call it quits when I just happened to look at the right angle. Hooray, the cache.
Found what looked like the correct area at the coordinates, but after much spiking we gave up. Took a few handfuls of backberries away though so all was not lost.
So pleased to have left some caches close to home for this attempt on my 365 day streak. This was a nice quick find and we were on our way again. Thanks for the cache.
Struggled a bit with our coords but something in the corner of our eye led us to the cache. Tftc!!
Watch out for the sloshy grass. We found this one after 10 minutes. First time looking for a cache!
Out for an arvo run around Montrose with quiet1_au, this was next on our list.
q1 was already at GZ by the time we arrived and so as we approached he already had the cache in hand. Nice little park. q1's "time out" had drawn to an end so after this cache he headed off home to paint whilst we went for arvo tea at Hahndorfs - YUM!

I arrived ahead of G&J of GJMMelb so went to have a look around GZ. The cache was spotted in the third place I checked just as they wandered up - as others have mentioned beware the thorns but also the potentially cutting rough edge to the strappy plants too (along with all the other potential hazards). TFTC - time flies when you're having fun and with no more caches close by we headed our separate ways until our next caching run together.
2nd DNF for the morning on way to work this morning. 2nd DNF total for me for this cache. Make it difficult for myself looking in the dark but then also the rain came so that stopped my search. Will be back and TFTC
To say that the clue wasn't helpful is an understatement, as it lead me to the wrong place.
Let's just say that I was stumped, but eventually I had filled in the LOG.

We had plans to go to the Moomba Festival today. That all changed though when we saw some monkey bars for sale on Facebook Marketplace. So instead, we attached the trailer to the car and made our way over to Montrose.
After loading up the monkey bars into the trailer we checked to see if there were any caches nearby. This one was in the same street!
We checked a few places that looked cache worthy, although when we saw the eventual GZ it was an obvious place to put it. And there it was
Log was in a bit of a state, although someone has added a new sheet.

A few different beacons ended up making this hide a bit tricky, but after avoiding the raspberry bushes we were able to sneak in and find the cache.
Cache container is in good shape, logbook looks like it suffered from a bit of water damage, but there was still a clean sheet in there that was nice and dry. TFTC

Nice little cache, unsupprisingly with all the rain lately the the logs are damp. Awesome jobs guys, tftc
It was a sensational Autumn day to be out bike caching in my 5km zone.
This was a quick find in a little park I'd never been to before.

Out for some exercise and to pick up another couple of caches to fill another day on the caching calendar. Despite a mature Muggle painting his decking at the nearby house overlooking GZ he did not even notice we were there and Mr Pooky was able to make a relatively quick easy find but not in the obvious spot. TFTC and bringing us to another great localish park. TNLN.
Nice quick find today. We venture down the mountain to find some caches where it was warmer, so this was a good start

. TFTCThis cache had us confused for a period of time, and a puppy came to the nearby fence and said hello to us. Once GZ was narrowed down, the cache was located in a nifty spot. Tftc vk3gs
