Description
This is my first entry in the 2015 Geo Gnome race, go go free little gnome
Hi, My name is Doug.
I am a simple gnome that really likes to water plants. I have simple needs.
All I want to do this summer is move around from park to park, getting logged by as many cachers as possible.
I am part of a Gnome Moveable race, so please move me along ASAP so that others can also do the same.

I had a little time to spare so stopped for a look. I found a likely place about 20m away that matched the hint but there were way too many muggles for more than a cursory look.
Unable to find hide nor hair of this Gnome. We searched far and wide at the posted co-ords and found nothing that matched the hint or the 'under NZ'. We walked down to the eatery (about 40m away) which better matched the hint and we found 'under NZ' a possibility here, but there was noone home. After about 15 minutes of walking around and looking and peering we decided that the gnome is probably gone and left for other caching exploits. If the previous finder can confirm that it's still there then we can have another look by by all accounts this one is MIA. Gnome rest his soul.
Sorry about that, that was our first time logging. These updated co-ordinates are correct. 
Appears to be on private property. Not prepared to enter.
Rated: for Overall Experience
In the Royal Botanical Gardens Victoria, Australia, happy finding! 
Dropped off in the garden bed (in need of water) with the Pathtag Portal
(Edit: Coords fixed)

Chillin' in the park for a bit.. Wonder who will find me next?!
Dropped off @ 23:12 on an evening walk. Happy travels my little gnimish friend.
Grabbed while out placing other gnomes. Thanks for placing your gnome for me to find.
Had a short but intelligent converse with WGW whilst travelling to his next hidey hole.. Thanks Adriaan ..
