This geocache has been stolen about 3 times by muggles and I kept replacing it (mainly because it was my first hide) but I realise now that the location that it was hidden in was a bit TOO conspicuous. Anyways, it's had a good run and thanks to everyone who found it... However, after recently being taken for the 4th time, I've decided that it's time to archive this one.
Couldn’t find and checked all trees , picture that was posted , I believe is for a different location as there is no bridge
There is only one “leaning tower” close to GZ and it has a perfect hide to match the hint.
Had a good dig around and should have found anything able to hold swaps.
Time for a CO check I think.

Not where my coordinates took me but the hint was more than enough to point me in tye right direction.. TY
A bit more persist and we found it. Not where we thought but close. Forage around in the hole
GPS pointing to pipe & headwalls insistently. But I believed couldn’t be there. The reasonable place would be the tree, where nothing could be found. If it was muggled before, moving it could be a good idea!

Have just replaced this cache as I noticed it had been stolen again. Merry Christmas and Happy 2020 to any finders.
Found obvious location in tree, nothing there at all and searched surrounding area to no avail. Disappointed as it was found 2 days before?
Looked all along the area. Could not seem to locate it at all could be missing
Very easy find, shame it was only recently replaced but great hiding spot haha
Pretty simple yet fun find. Log only just been replaced. I think a school teacher was then first page. OMG Mr Blanco!

Just reenabled this geocache. The new cache has better camo but is a bit smaller so no room for a pencil this time so please byo pen. Good luck. And yes I know the coords are slightly off but that's just part of the challenge since this is such an easy find with a pretty obvious hint.
Can confirm that the cache is missing, thanks to those who pointed it out to me. Probably been stolen by muggles. I'll try to replace it within the next couple of weeks.
Found today with my Dad and brother while coming out here for some caches.

It's been a little while since we did much down this way, so we decided on an old-fashioned cache drive today, despite a miserable forecast and a miserable start to the day. We left home in light rain, drove home in pouring rain, but only had the umbrellas up for one cache, and it was a GCA one! A great day stretching down to Forresters Beach, with a dozen trads and a handful of trigs/virtuals, without a true DNF in sight.....
We found the cache, and a few seconds later a young fellow on a hoverboard appeared asking us if we'd found it. Apparently he is a friend of the CO, and replaced the cache for him - *in a different spot*.... this might explain the extreme cache creep going on! All signed... TFTC.... adding a NM, as the CO needs to visit to work out where his/her cache is and what coordinates are assigned to it.....

Unfortunately no treasures inside to exchange, but a nice little cache in a great hiding spot!
Came out on Easter Sunday to avoid doing nothing but eat chocolate. A quick park and grab with Mr10 coming up with the goods. TFTC.
I have put a cash near its not on the map but it's very close it has award medals good luck
Lovely walk, the lake is beautiful. Not many other people around today so very serene
Parked in the road and walked down towards GZ. At first the GPS tried to lead us to another location, but it did not look right at all. Eventually we moved to a suspicious structure where the cache was soon located.
Staying by chance at Canton Beach Holiday Park we were delighted to see that there are a few caches in walking distance. We started with this one and were successful.
Thank you for luring us into this beautiful park full of parrots and other birds.

Cache was very exposed so I covered it up a bit more. Unfortunately none of my pens are working so I couldn't sign the log...
Accompanied ALL7, great enjoyed day at Hali area, where my ex-live about 1 half years ago left here... Looked so little difference place..
Lovely walked to GZ, easy spot and sign the log with ALL7..

Thank you. David and Noeline.

This was my closest to home cache. That would have come in very handy when I was doing my streak but a nice walk to find it today, gps had me a bit further away but it was pretty obvious where the cache was going to be, signed the new log to find it's been a busy day for this cache with a few other locals finding it today too. Thanks for the cache judas_crypt tnln replaced as found sl
Don’t take a lemon off the lemon tree the lady will try to kill you I swear
Easy find though

If memory serves me correct, I've been here in this park previously chasing caches. With those now archived, it's good to see that someone else has stepped up to the plate to make me come back again. It was only a quick visit, though, as the wind off the water was a bit on the chilly side today. Although my phone's GPS pulled me up at the "creek" crossing, I could see a much more likely hiding spot not far away ... so I headed straight there and bingo, another win for geo-logic over the GPS.
Thanks for a nice hide judas_crypt ... just a shame the weather wasn't conducive to spending a bit more time here today.
