Going to archive this one and replace at a less muggled location. Thank you to all the finders
Last one of the night and also the year (for us). Very quite astound here atm. Making the find a little easier. Tftc
The plants were really spiky so I recommend long pants when looking for it but it smells nice with the tea bag
Grabbed on an impromptu caching run while heading up to Tempe for run an errand. Lucky to find one parking spot about 100m away and worker muggles ignoring my drunken bee dance at GZ until the arrow settled and I spotted a glimpse of buried colour.
#118 Swung by here recently and decided it needed a weekend hunt and retrieve with all the muggle activity. Quick find and provided some natural camo considering where it is. TFTC Jeanovanwam
#4512 (2 of 5 today)
Dinner with friends in The Shire, so after dragging stuff to the curb for our council clean up - anyone want a rusty BBQ? - I headed south. Decided to target some of the more recent placements in the west. Had time for five finds (out of five) before needing to head to the red wine & cheese (yeah, OK, so I'm the one bringing the triple brie).
Only issue was the last find - clay on shoes due to terrain near GZ - but took them off before heading indoors.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Made this harder for myself than I should. Checked the obvious but nothing. Checked the listing... Oh, that size, Better check here... Gotcha!
Completed signing duties and replaced. And the only muggle to be seen was in a business over the road - thank you Sunday afternoon!

Out on this very windy day for a days caching with morty8888 and missmorty in the Jannali area where missmorty resides. Once at GZ morty8888 deciphered the clever hint for us and he soon had CIH. TFTC jeanovanwam.
As I approached GZ a few council workers were enjoying their break. I waved, then sat down, checked emails on my phone and used the time to scan for clues.
They soon moved on and I had spotted the tell tale corner so I grabbed it, signed it and returned itbefore any other employees arrived.

Cache had moved a few feet so I put it back! Probably because the gardens have been redone! All okay
Today was a cold and windy day so our visit to the Royal National Park ended after lunchtime. Not all bad - more time for caching on the way home!
I've not done any caching in Kirrawee so decided to check out a few.
This was my first stop. Its a busy area! I was lucky to get a parking spot opposite GZ and find a large truck parked in front so the area was quite concealed.
I didn't understand hint which I'd checked to help speed up my time here as I was sure you'd be well and truly watched here. Fortunately a previous log made sense and the cache was a quick find. Signed the log and replaced the cache where I found it with a bit more camo to hide it better.
Not sure its where the CO intended, might need a check.

Tftc! Top location. The cache was lying on the ground under the tree. Hidden under the grass in the fence line
Needed to get my midi keyboard repaired at a local place. Searched for a while then walked around a bit and the cache was in the open. TFTC
TFTC,
Took some time out this afternoon to take in some fresh air.
Enjoyed a drive around the area to grab a couple of caches.
Visited some trackables.

Out in the sunshine, looking for a couple of caches. I quickly found the container in the open. signed log and replaced. Thanks to Jeanovanwam.
I was out and about in the area and found myself close to this cache so decided to head over and find it. I parked the car nearby and then headed towards gz. The cryptic hint wasn't helping too much, and I couldn't see a cache anywhere. I started to go beyond the fence but that didn't seem right. As I headed back I spotted the larger than expected cache with very little protection. Signed the log and then replaced it with a bit more cover from muggles. Didn't see any ducks today. TFTC
Harder than we expected had to think about the hint and work out the puzzle. Love this game.
Thanks for the lollypop

Took a minute here but reading everything I soon found where to look and had the cache in hand. Quiet on a Sunday afternoon! TFTC!
#3368 - Wandered down here this morning. Hint was perhaps not quite what I thought, nevertheless something grabbed my attention. Green is good, silver no good. Many thanks to the CO Jeanovanwam for establishing and maintaining this cache. Nabbed a TB Roboco778.
This was a lot harder than I expected and it should have been simple!?! But I was cache blind!

Took a little while to locate this one as we misinterpreted the clue but got there in the end. TFTC!

Talk about being in the right place at the right time...
I rocked up to GZ and three council workers were standing next to it, I explained what I was doing and read them the clue. Now things were looking bleak because there was a new fence and the plants had been trimmed back.
One of the workers said 'Hang on, is this what your looking for?' and retrieved the cache from his truck! 'Yes that's it' I said, so I put it back and they agreed to leave it there! Talk about luck, Jeanovanwam, you owe me one...

Late in the day and realised it was souvenir day...better grab one.
I don't know why I hadnt grabbed this before as it was an easy find. Just as well as I needed it.
Strange hint but worked perfectly.

It was quite dark but the small torch made it easier to find the cache after I followed directions and grabbed it before the blood rushed to my head. I took both TBs, thanks Jeanovanwam for a good hide.
San Choy Bow dropped in here to send him on his way.
Have a safe journey and take lots of photos!!!

A quiet weekend in the area so the find was easy. Best hint and description I've seen so far!
Thanks for the cache.

Needing a cache to keep my streak alive, grabbed this one on an early Saturday morning.. perfect time with no muggle activity.

A quick find here with the interesting hint. Imagine it gets a lot busier here during the day

I wanted to approach this one from the path that Just Log It was on, but as I followed the path down hill it seemed to lead into private property (even though the OSM map showed this as a path). So I decided to have another go by car. Found parking and headed to GZ. I did have one council worker take a long look at what I was doing there, so do be careful of muggle workers eyes. Once I started the hunt I was wondering how much shrubbery I was going to get stabbed by before the search was over. Plenty of natural camo had the container hidden but it wasn't to tough when following the hint. Thanks again Jeanovanwam, that's another duck ticked off the list.
Jeanovanwam I found your cache 4 Little Ducks on 26/3/17, 2:15 pm. This is my find #1847 and find #9 today. A quick find after reading the hint. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN
The geohubby snuck out with our geotwins to hide this cache last week so this afternoon he made me go find it!! Nice quick easy find. Little damp after the recent rain but still in good Nik.
25/3/17. 8:48 AM. Cache #4881.
5th of 8 finds - Potts Hill, Canterbury, Kingsgrove, Kirrawee, Miranda, Caringbah South, South Coogee
A trip around Sydney's south and east to get a few of the week's new caches.
After redeeming a former DNF at "Lakeside", it was time to head into the Shire for a few, starting here. Took a couple of seconds to realise where a head comes into it, but then this made the job ahead easy to understand. Even so, it was well hidden and took me a little while. Signed log as 3TF, replaced, and then headed off to "Follow the path up Yowie Gully.". TFTC.

I only passed this street yesterday and thought about the CO's previous caches in the area. I guess it was there when I passed? Anyway I thought briefly about heading out and looking, as soon as it came up...no contest...I was off in the geomobile.
I even managed to get parked nearby which is a bonus in this street. The hint led me to an immediate find. Blank log and such a great FTF prize ..nicely done jeanovanwam best FTF prize for me. Visited a trackable and one of my own that I am taking to the Red Centre. TFTC jeanovanwam. Definetly a F.P.

So a couple of new Shire caches are released as I'm stuck at work. So after an appointment, I decide to give this one a go. Just as the heavens opened and Sydney cops a soaking!
With wet feet just getting out of the car,I approached GZ looking for the second part of the hint. Not wanting to cause too such pain, I stood away and after a bit of digging in the damp, I had CIH. So [2TF] at 1715. Back to the car so I could sign the log in the dryness. Deeds done, replaced and on my way home to dry off!
TFTC. That's 4/4 ducks found now.
