There is significant spring and early summer growth around here and the buffalo/cooch grass is rampant. Slope debris would have been mobilused by a recent 40mm storm as well.
 
12-Dec-17
We arrived near GZ and our GPSs were not stable and didn't agree so our search was a little unfocused. The long grass and thistles also were a little constraining. Checked a few likely places and then approached on likely site from a different angle and this proved successful. Signed the cache and replaced as found. TFTC

*30/9/17, Found @ 12:41 pm, Find # 7112.*

A the end of the CITO event and while the sausages were cooking I decided to take a walk for this one.
At GZ I started checking out a likely spot for a hide but each spot had no cache, I stood back for a minute and then checked again, this time I must of check a bit better as the cache was now found.

**Thanks to Teammoss5 for placing this cache.**

02-Sep-17
Found whilst caching with NoonaB in the Moe area.

My caching partner had previously found this cache so i was left to the hunt alone.

The cache was quickly found in a spot prefect for a field mouse, i added a fidget spinner to cache for swag (finally gets rid of that thing..) the log book was signed and replaced, thanks for the hide and thanks for the walk along the path,

After this to do with caching around in Moe.
With a group of us.
one of them got it.
Thanks Slipperyhermit
 
12-Aug-17
This was my second attempt today to get the cache. The hint I'd been given wasn't quite right but as we were a fairly big group one of us had their hand on the cache quickly. The log was passed around for signing before carefully returning it to its nest.

28-Jul-17
thought I'd duck out for a quick few caches while I had the time....WELLLLL.....As i got there I started my usuall, look in all the obvious places...the GPS started going a bit ratty , so I kinda followed that for awhile, then had to stop myself to regroup. In so doing I realised I had dropped my glasses...somewhere...so I started to retrace my steps, couldnt find them. So after about half an hour...I decided to call it quits. I spent more time looking for the glasses than the cache..... I get back in the car, go to take off..look down and there on the console....the glasses. cheers, I havent finished with you yet!
 
01-Jul-17
Out with TeamSmokey-Bear for the Canada Day BBQ. I had no idea this was even on, so image my excitement when we found out there were a couple of caches not to far away. Setting out with Ms Smokey-Bear we made a very quick find of this one!
Log signed and replaced back. TFTC

After coming up for the event we thought we would try our luck at finding the cache and came up trumps. Tftc

Visited this as the first stop in the set of 3 and failed! Looked in all the right places, just not the money spot! Thanks to some wonderful ew Geocache friends from the Canada Day event, these n00bs got some clues and found it on the way back. Glad for the find as we were starting to lose our mojo. Jess is incredibly helpful with her caches and those in the local area. Thank you!

Grass way too long
 
27-Mar-17
Had a brief look but the grass was too long, I was in sandals and it was stinking hot.
 
25-Mar-17
Frmen1 and I jumped in the car with raincoats, boots and overnight bags and left our destination in the hands of Mother Nature and the geo gods. Many dnfs today, so may have to make another sacrifice to the deities. Wonder why draggedalong refused to come?
Searched for a while, even placing fingers and whole arms in places we usually avoid. Area has been recently slashed

Grass is very over grown sorry

Found on the 2nd time being here today. I must have been blind the 1st time as I had been all over GZ. Nice little hide. Tyftc.
 
18-Jun-16
This was attempt number 2 at this one and this time I ignored my gps and just went with instincts. With mummy short legs by my side we were determined to find this series in the brief time we had for caching this arvo. Funnily enough it was in the first place I stuck my hand today. One down. TFTC!
 
18-Jun-16
Kato and I were able to scrap together an hour for another attempt at these caches - she was already in the area so I met here at this one which we've both DNF'd before. We approached and discussed our previous searches as we approached. Kato spotted it almost immediately. How did we both miss this last time? TFTC lilmissgeo89/slipperyhermit

The gps was doing circles at gz but the cache was soon in hand and log signed. If attempting with kids in a pram I recommend parking at the botanical gardens and following the walking track under the road to the cache. Nice little hiding spot. Spotted a mouse and a few possums in the area. TFTC!

Went for a walk and found this very clever hide found with grannygeo64
 
06-May-16
Kato Potato and I took some time off this morning to descend on these three caches; all three were DNFs. This one, Kato assessed whether we could get the pram down the stairs and decided we shouldn't try. She spent a while searching but gave up.

9am-10am 6/5/16 .... DNF FTF Sad

It is always sad to search for a new cache and not find it. doubly sad when there are two new caches and you come up ZERO from TWO.
“Feild Mouse” (a spelling mistake?) wanted to take me into the creek or at least right to the edge or the creek. I search the surrounding area. It is very rough and the number of potential hiding places expands exponentially as you widen the search. No luck.
I walked to “crossroads”. The co-ords were right on the fork. Once again I searched the surrounding area. Very rough, lots of potential hiding spots. There are bags of rubbish in the under-growth that you do not want to disturb. Once again no luck.
I double checked “Feild Mouse” on the return walk, and once again GZ appeared to be on the water edge.
A sad cacher.
Good luck to future seekers .. tftc cache owner.
