Hide at the Dump

Brahms6 found this one on 25th December 2010, 51st find. Found with "Moistvonlipwig".

We set out on a wet Christmas afternoon to christen Moist's new GPSR.. This hide is hidden at a bird watching platform established at the landfill in Rockhampton. Because the river is very high in flood and the local water runoff from a week of solid rain has filled all the lagoons the platform overlooks a sea of water.

The cloud was very heavy and both GPSR's took us to the same spot. We searched for a while in the wet and then took to the shelter. Aha, there it is.

A small cache with room for only a few items of SWAG. We took a hair clip and left a goose and a turkey. These seemed appropriate given the time of the year and the nature of the hide.
As we were perusing the log we found the following entry quite amusing;

"I found this, I saw some people acting suspicious and investigated. I thought the container held drugs but was pleased to see it was just people having harmless fun. Signed A local landfill worker"

There was also a log from a person from Sweden, we did wonder about a tourist from Sweden ending up at the Rockhampton landfill, but then that is geocaching.
