Despite the rain, we thought we'd have a quick look for this one.We found a thing in the garden bed which looked a bit 'manufactured'. We investigated it thoroughly.Thinking this must have been it we were just about to call it off when a much more obvious item was spotted. Not sure how we missed it earlier.Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for giving us something extra to do while passing through this lovely town.Chiefton!!!

This year we headed to Cape Paterson to stay a few days over new years and had a nice stay at this beach location I had not been to before. Plenty of people around but that is expected at this time of year.After hearing this trail mentioned on the puzzle facebook group a little while ago I didn't think I would be here any time soon but I was surprised to see the family booked a holiday at the last minute this year only a 45 minute drive away so I came over here and started at the Fish Creek end and was only going to find a few and head back but I enjoyed the trail so much I kept on going for a bit longer even though I was supposed to be back for lunch ... that didn't happen.After returning to town and finishing the ad lab this was only metres away so I signed the log here as well.Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I’m in no great hurry to get back home after the long weekend so I decided to stop here and pick up a few caches.

The weather is perfect today for a rest in this spot for a minute tucked away from the cars, very serene.

Cache found quickly and signed.

Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.

Enjoying Wellington today we are aiming to reach 20 or more in this LGA to help finalise a Challenge cache. Picking up long solved puzzles and selected caches we have ventured to many locations we have never explored before.
Found the cache after admiring the siding and then had to go back to the car as we must have lost our pen at the last cache…oops!
Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the placement.
 
10-Jan-23
School holiday day trip with the family down from Melbourne for the day.

We decided it would be a good day to visit Wilsons Prom. Mrs Plow and the kids have never been to Wilsons Prom before and the last time I had visited was about 30years ago when I camped there for a few nights with my high school mates when we were in our early 20s.

We had a great day and visited Squeaky Beach and Tidal River/Norman Beach and a few other spots. The scenery is just incredible. The kids enjoyed a dip in the river and the ocean.

Stopped here in Fish Creek for a pit stop and went for a wander with the boys to get this cache while waiting for the girls. We ended up stopping again in Fish Creek on our way home for dinner.

Great Train sculpture here.

Thanks for the cache FlyingPigSquadron. We left home at 8:30am this morning and managed to get home at 10:30pm. In this time we only managed to do 2 caches as we were so busy either sight seeing, driving or walking!

No pen, but there were plenty of crayons in the cache, but the log was pretty soggy. Felt as though my gps was being cranky but...it turns out...it was spot on. I have a photo as proof if you need it, but I do suggest a swapping of the log. Thank you for bringing us here!
