Went to this one twice yesterday after a recheck of the clues. Spent well over 1 1/2 hours, am sure I was right on GZ. It appears by the most recent logs that the Cache may have been Beep Beeped!

DNF on this one. I think it may require a check. I spent quite some time here; found the hint easily but no cache.
Spent over an hour poking around looking for this one while geohubby was canoeing in the river. I'm sure we're in the right place. But no cache.

Had a nice pleasant stroll to find this one. What a nice place this must be to live. TFTC!
A nice easy find no mossies about today.We will have to revisit this area with our bikes ond fishing rods TFTC.
Our first cache on our great caching adventure! Negotiating the maze of streets was the hardest bit – squelching along to the cache was easier. I was struck by the contrast between the peaceful river and the noise of the cars and motorboats. Picked up the Nevada geocoin. TFTC! =’.’=
Found OK at the end of a bit of a squelchy track. The river was lovely at this time of morning with the odd bloke dangling a line from his tinnie.
Found this one nice and early this morning. Must have woken up the local mozzie population - they wanted their breakfast, seems we were it!
We made no swaps, but dropped off a geocoin.
Thanks for the cache!

A drive in and almost a drive by. Nice little spot. (If you wear earmuffs) But the views are nice.
Decided to take the bikes out for a ride as we have just moved to the estate. TN left TB's.
Found the 1st clue to this one last night but didn't have time to finish until today. Easily enough found with a constant hum of traffic nearby. TFTC
This was our first cache found fior the day took a bit of find our way around the local area but found it in the end.
Nice easy cache although at first i thought I was heading for a swim .

Took the TB, LN, TFTC

Enjoyed the first stage and then onto the final location. Interesting walk and final location. Took travel bug and left geocoin.
An enjoyable cache. It was a new experience being on that side of the fence. Nice townhouses, I hope they have double glazing! TNLN TFTC
Found the clue and was able to calculate the coordinates, but unfortunately I was heading north and had an appointment to keep so I didn't have time to double back and find the cache. I will have to leave this one to another time. TFLC
I found myself on this side of town this morning so i grabbed to opportunity to take a look at the Lieutenant's latest offering.
I'm rather embaressed to admit to taking a few minutes at waypoint #1 as I had not read the cache notes too carefully.
With that out of the way, i did the sums and enjoyed a nice walk to the cache.
I had no swaps with me so i made no exchange. The cache is in good nick and all is well.

Came here to give my adopted cache a new box & found there was a new cache in town. Enjoyed the walk. Just watch the last 100mtrs. I was walking & then 'SNAKE!!!' ohh, just pipe. 'SNAKE!!!!!!!' ohh just more black pipe. Yes it did get repetitive but there is heaps of pipe down there.

A very pleasant spot by the river.
I'd suggest the safest approach for the final 50 meters is to stay close to the big fence.
We didn't do this, and found the last few meters a worry because we had a couple of little kids with us.
Took the hyena and pick teddy bear. Left the travelbug, three-eyed monster and funny looking bird thing.

Interesting little wetland here just metres from all the honking and beeping [:o]
After finding the first waypoint I wandered off in search of the cache. Had to employ some stealth at GZ though. Not because of the traffic, but fishing muggles in a tinnie just off shore

We found the numbers we were looking for without having to get out of the car, but drove over to the park area for the kids to have a play before I plugged them into the equation. We followed the waters edge to get to the cache, and followed the top of the ridge on our return. Found the cache easy as the co-ords were spot on.
The kids enjoyed throwing some of the nearby large rocks into the water from here.(as kids do....

We made our way up here today with another family who hadn't been geocaching before.
We made our way to the alternate start point, not having read the notes. We were aware however, that when we didn't find it, that there was an alternate point, so we made our way to the primary co-ordinates & a quick call to Lt Sniper sorted out what could've been sorted out if we just read the notes.
A short walk later we arrived at GZ and the cache was found in no time. We took nothing and left a ball. GZ is an interesting little spot & we'll never be able to drive past here again without recognising it a a cache site.
Afterwards we wandered back to the park and had a bit of a play there before checking up on another cache in the area. Thanks for the afternoons activities Lt Sniper!

Thought I was going to be FTF as no logs have appeared yet, but alais have been beaten,(sorry but I forgot by who). Anyway wandered down to the location taking in the new real estate on the way. They have some good views. GPS was spot on and took me straight to the cache. Took 5 mins and watched the Honks and Beeps go by. Thanks Lt Sniper, it was enjoyable.
