#23119 @1500There is not much more I can add to pantspeople's and ZQX's logs. I visited the posted co-ords 3 times. The second and third to see if there was anything we had overlooked. (There wasn't). The second time with ZQX, and on approach while focused on my phone I disturbed (stood on or nearly stood on) a large dark coloured snake without noticing it. If it wasn't for ZQX behind me, mentioning it, I would have been none the wiser. It took off faster than I'd ever seen a snake move before. We had no joy solving this in the field, nor in the days to follow. Once we had the correct source of information (thanks to the FTFers) we worked on the 'field' puzzle independently and each soon had something useful. We arranged to meet up this afternoon, and soon located and signed the cache. TFTC.

#23093 @1155A lovely day to be outside in nature walking and caching. I drove as close as I could then walked to GZ for a quick find. Nice container. TFTC. 
 
#23103 @1645A lovely day to be outside in nature biking and caching. A quick find once at GZ. TFTC. 
 
#23094 @1345A lovely day to be outside in nature walking and caching. I spent a good 15 minutes at 'GZ' searching around for the cache before resorting to phoning a previous finder for a nudge. With their help I soon located the clever creation. (Once again today my GPS seemed to be a few metres out). TFTC. 
 
#23091 @1105A lovely day to be outside in nature walking and caching. It seemed to be just me and the kangaroos out here today. An impressive rock, I'm sure I've been to before. This one took much longer to find than it should have. Somehow I missed it when I first looked there, and ended up exploring all around the rock and in the various nooks and crannies before returning for another look. Thankfully found it in the most logical spot. TFTC.
