This was one of the two I actually found today. The coords were a fair way out and the hint didn't narrow things down at all but I was lucky to find it after a few minutes looking.
Thanks for the cache. I'll move it out the other side of town where it hopefully won't get stuck for so long.

As I'm not actually part of the Bingo game, I left the cache where I found it for those who are playing to move it along. This 'Move' log includes revised coordinates as the ones originally given seemed to be slightly out.

Good luck Very Happy.

This was next on my trek through the old Rosanna Golf Club. The area was a bit haystackish and I only found the hide at 14:40 after checking everything that matched the hint. I took some new coordinates, which I'll add to the move log, but they're only a few metres away from those given anyway.

TNLNSL. Thanks and Happy New Year mr_roo.
