Decided to have a quick look for this one today on the way to caches on Mt Nelson. Got it at 1258hrs after finding a sixpence as my 2nd today and my 205th o/all. I love the Waterworks Park, so peaceful and serene. Thanks for taking me there, cheers OldSaint.

What's this !! Two Eclipse tin hides in succession found today.
I'm beginning to think I am back in Queensland (land of the Eclipse tin micro) :o
A nice easy find though and a great end to a long stroll around the Ridgeway.

Found as a last one on the way out of the park before it closed with T14. The "ranger" drove past while we were looking ( quickly stopped looking so he wouldn't get suspicious ) and advised us the gates were shutting and drove on. Had to find it before he came back. Found it quickly after that ( must have had some motivation as the last find for the day ). 5 finds in a day. My best :-)

Just about dark when we walked through the reserve. Lucky to find it given the lack of light.

Thanks for the cache.

Found it
Went up to the Waterworks for a run (to the top of Chimney Pot Hill, don't do it unless you like pain). I'd parked only 90m from the cache so thought it'd be rude not to log it. Wasn't lying on the ground like it has for most people. Thanks Caxixi.

Found by Quilter, out on the grass in the open. Rehid (hopefully where it was supposed to be) while Sirius had long discussions with a muggle about Blackwood and Park Ranger drove by a couple of times. It was a perfect day to be here today, so we thought we would try and finish what was started all that time ago at the years best cache event. Cheers Quilter

We must make it to these caches before the gates close I thought early on in our whore day. And we were well on track driing back up the river with plenty of time to spare. It was about 5pm when i remembered them though and we were well late :( The walk in from gate wasn't too bad i guess..but by this end of the day we were both a tad on the driveup bandwagon :)

Found all 3 in this series though which certainly helped our statistics :) fun little series to do this one.

Coordinates were pretty spot-on for this one, so soon had it in my hottle little paws and logged!

Yay! Found it! Obviously it was in a good hidey-hole because it didn't manage to fall out on the grass this time around. Have only just worked out why this series is called 'Eclipse'. Sometimes I really am very blond....

Found easily because it was sitting on the grass again.

Hidden just a little further along the wall.

Yay, found this one too. Vastly different area to where we were looking last week! Was searching for a few minutes then saw it just laying on the grass in the open a long a bit, don't know if it fell out of where it was, or if rain could have washed it out? So found a hidey hole for it, hope it was in an OK spot. Thanks Caxixi.
