Geocache Description:

This cache is inspired by Wefoundit2's Albany cache called "Joseph Blake" (GC21B4Q) - but it is absolutely nothing like it!

How many people will be sucked in by this cache? It is in a secluded spot right next to the intersection of Leach (a sucker thing) Highway and North Lake Road.

PARKING

You could park in the Bunnings car park, and cross six lanes of traffic to get to GZ, but we strongly recommend you approach from Northmore Crescent in Winthrop and enjoy the spacious "Robert Street Park" (with playground) and stroll casually to GZ. It is an interesting view down through the trees towards the hustle and bustle.

THE CACHE

It is a camouflaged micro cache with just a log and no pencil. Like other caches by myself and iTreasureHunt2, namely "The Remnant" and "Don't go Bats", THIS CACHE IS IN PLAIN VIEW FROM ANYWHERE NEAR GZ.
If you have done our other caches then you SHOULD be able to do this one.
It has been placed with the same "spirit and sportsmanship" as those caches and although it is titled "COME IN SUCKER" it holds no mean tricks, it is just well camouflaged.

Do not wreck the environment (natural or man made) JUST USE YOUR EYES!!!

Parts of the cache are made of irrigation components.

If it looks obvious when you first get there, you are probably looking at a very visible sprinkler. This means you are in the right place but IT IS NOT THE SPRINKLER, LEAVE IT ALONE, instead, STOP, STAND STILL, and KEEP LOOKING and DO NOT HURT ANY VEGETATION!!!

I have increased the difficulty of this cache to 4 Stars.
This cache is attracting unexpected attention and intensity.
The cache has been hidden with the same spirit and sportsmanship as our other caches, but has evolved into something unique.
It may be testing our inner resolve and bringing out some emotions and reactions that are unexpected in the caching world.
(I was going to say it is "ground breaking, but that would have been a pun on the alleged erosion which is a serious matter)

I have made reasonable attempts to encourage searchers to understand that the sprinkler is where you should stop, stand still and keep looking.
Suggestions that the point marked on google maps is 10 metres away from the sprinkler are incorrect . It is in fact the same spot where the sprinkler is, so....

-----HINT-----
If your GPS is not playing the game, find the sprinkler. From here or just above it on the flat ground (at the end of the obvious row of trees) is an ideal spot to STOP, STAND STILL and LOOK. You need to look no further than 6 to 8 metres (depending where you stand)

This cache can be accessed by a three year old (without getting sand in their sandals), or an eighty year old. it requires minimal physical effort.
IF YOU ARE MAKING DEEP FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE ALLEGED EROSION THEN YOU MUST STOP AND RETURN TO FIRMER GROUND and keep looking because you will be waisting your time in those spots.

The survival of this cache depends on four things.... YOU, and the ENVIRONMENT, and the ENVIRONMENT, and the ENVIRONMENT. "
