Been back several times before and after the cache had been replaced. Still no joy here - too good.
Thanks for the hunt Rampske

Initially couldnt find this - my phone GPS had me at the park sign beside the footpath. Upon returning from the nearby cache I took note of the hint and made a quick find, some 15m away from where my phone was taking me. Thanks for the placement. Great views to be had, much more quiet today than when I am usually here in January for the bike race.
Wow, a really great view from here! Unfortunately the coords are well out and you really have to rely on the hint.
Take a seat?! Yes please! With a view like this, I'd love to take a seat 24/7. Beautiful mild night like tonight is absolutely amazing. What a spot to choose - thanks for bringing us here!
Found with BeardedHill and perricheeseburger!

Out on a caching day with thomo31, decided to find this one, “oh the smell” it was bad,l. Found the cache logged and returned, TFTC
I did as the clue instructed. It was only a question of which one. Great view from up here. TFTC
Team Autumn out to fill in the geocalender. Quick stop and find by the geogirlkid. TFTC
A couple of nights ago i run up the hill nearby. Coordinates need updating however with the chair hint a quick find by the geokid.
Well they have taken it a step further and removed the garden, it was a small rock with a bison glued into it however i will need to replace, expect this one up soon

My daily cache. I can't necessarily say it was a quick find but I can't say it wasn't. Upon arriving near GZ, my phone (which I was using as a GPS to get me as close to GZ as possible) decided that it would be a good idea to instruct me to park in a roundabout. I decided that this was a bad idea and drove around for a bit trying to decide where the best place to park was (parking and I are not the closest of friends). Upon deciding on a location I was alright but someone dubious (it was right in front of a rubbish bin that I was not sure if it was full or not) about but was still within eyesight of GZ so I decided I could always move it in a hurry if I needed. I headed over to GZ and searched for a bit and then read the description again along with the clue and some logs, then searched a bit more. And then I heard it. A garbage truck coming over the hill. Oh, no! That bin must be full. So I raced back to my car and used the other roundabout to move onto the other side of the road where the bins had already been collected. Oh, the garbage truck is heading down a different street. Back to GZ I go. It was at this point that I decided to start actually paying attention to the hint and I found the cache within about a minute (nice camo btw. It is a very nice homemade cache - there are some great ones around in Geelong area). I then headed back to the car, just as the garbage truck pulled around the corner and up to the curb where I had originally been parked.
TFTC and the wonderful view.

I thought that it was simply just a full logbook however the whole cache has gone missing. I have made a much more suitable cache for the location which has a much better camo. I will be making this cache available to premium members only. I am going to change the D/T ratings, if this effect's anyone's matrix's then let me know but it is a common combination so it should be ok.

Awesomely Awesome put tinfoil on your iPad or iPod so it doesn't need wifi it blocks it out
Spent a while looking for this one, the hint may be a little old and doesn't really seem relevant any more, but eventually found it, the photos were a Better clue than the hint. The log book is full. And we did learn a valuable lesson, when you smell something bad and you think maybe it could be the logbook... DON'T smell it to check, because the smell is Sooo much worse right at your nose!! It's not pretty! And not for weak stomaches!!! We did feel the need to was our hands haha
However, the view here is amazing! We had never been to this little spot, so thank you for bringing us here! TFTC

Needs new log book.Thanks to Mcphail family regarding logbook I will be up in the next few days to check this guy out and at bare minimum, replace the logbook with a new one although his hide may have had its time and a replacement may be required
Came back with GeoMum to tidy up cache as we had to drop it in our birthday hunt yesterday. Cache had been moved and our tags removed
Anyway cache put back nice and neat.

Quickly grabbed the cache so I could spend some time enjoying the view. Always interesting trying I pick out where everything is
On the area and a quick checkup and all is OK, however I might be replacing the type of container in the next month or so but time will tell
Nice and easy cache to find, a good quick one on my hunt for others! Definitely do need to be stealthy in this area though just like the description states
Plow kids were not quick enough for mrs plow. TFTC tho wind was blowing the in wrong direction.
Not sure if this is the correct date or not as I am posting quite a long time after our find. We are from the US visiting friends who live in the area. We are only here for a week and had to get a token cache. So with out much time to spend caching we went out and got this one. Now we have a find in Australia!!!
I was out dropping of one daughter and picking up another between rain storms. Needing a cache for the day to keep our run of consecutive day going I stopped by and grabbed this one. Lucky for me I potted it quickly as the rain was only just holding off. TFTC

Was sitting in my car waiting for some "muggles" to leave. Turned out they were not muggles, and a trackable changed hands! Well made cache, exactly at coordinates. Thanks.
