My kinda cake mix.

Found as part of my 2017 Alexandra Mega experience.Smile This cache added to the fun and enjoyment of my trek to the east and back from Adelaide. While there were a few thunder storms, there were mainly clear skies and I never saw a snake! SurprisedBig Grin

Thanks to -Beaker- and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Onto plan B, we had a brief visit to the Botanic park, which was looking particilarily colourful today.
Thanks for the cache.
 
13-Mar-17
Our first cache for the day as we enjoyed the stroll through the lovely gardens to GZ. With both of our devices heading in different directions, I came out the victor this time finding the container tucked away in its hiding spot. Thanks -Beaker- for the placement in this great spot.
 
13-Mar-17
We came to the gardens to collect the info for a multi and continued over to this cache. The hint mentions a hedge but it is more like a bush. The co-ords are good and the cache is in good condition. SL TFTC
 
12-Mar-17
Out and about enjoying the delightful sights Portland has to offer, the day after the event. Muggle Hubby and I, loved the stroll through here. We would have been unaware of the pleasures these Gardens had to offer, had it not been for the cache hidden here. We were hedged by the clue, but found it anyway, and then realised why the cache was named.
Thanks for bringing us here, putting smiles on our faces, and another smiley on our map.

and enjoyed a short stroll through the gardens.
TFTC!!
 
11-Mar-17
Found with hevwalker, TTO16, claire007 and CPWanderer. GPS took us to the wrong side of water first then when we found a park it was a lovely walk through the gardens. TFTC.
 
11-Mar-17
Out & about in Portland on a day trip with CPwanderer, clare007, TT016 & scramping...
Once we were on the right side of the creek (silly car GPS) we walked through the beautiful gardens to quickly locate this cache...
There is a dahlia festival here soon so they were out in full bloom today...very pretty

11-Mar-17
TFTC. This was to be the last of the day as the rain started to set in. We had a quick walk into the Gardens and located the cache. The clue need to be updated but we trusted the GPS for a quick find.

Arrived at Portland for the event and collected a couple of caches before
the overnight camp. Thanks beaker FTC.

We enjoyed this one. We walked up the canal and along the way came face to face with a young koala. It really wanted to cross to the other side of the canal where there were some juicy gum leaves. At one stage we thought he was going to swim across. He got his paw in the water and then changed his mind. We eventually left him and hope he got safely to his destination. So thanks Beaker. Oh and the gardens are lovely too!
