Logs
Looked, found the mozzies, the tree, the vine and the log but not the cache. Wondering if it got cleaned up?
After an unsuccessful attempt on a previous cache, I'm happy to convert this one!
A nice little stroll with little miss 5yo and the cache was quickly found.
Thanks VKC1SR for the cache

Easy find with good coords. Picked up Terry's frog and will take it on a journey that will be completed when I drop it off in Paris.
Found @13:42
GPSr was all over the place with the thunderstorm we were caught in.
However it was a quick easy find while walking Geo Puppy as the cache was clearly visible. Have re-hidden in same place but with more cammo.
Took nothing, left smiley face badge.
SL Thanks for the cache VKC1SR.

Clever hide, and I wouldn't have found it without the hint, because my GPS was not leading me to the spot. I didn't have a pen so couldn't sign the log.
Easy find. We parked (unknowingly) directly opposite so we had a nice walk around and found another cache on the way. TFTC
After a dip in the bay at Ozone we decided to grab a couple of caches in the area.
this cache was found in a very lovely and quiet area, muggle free today, making it easier to search for it.
Thanks to VKC1SR for placing this cache

Nice stroll aorund. Checked all the wrong places before checking the hint! Thanks!
With the kids and camping in St Leonards for the holidays, this was our second find for the day. Being close to our camp site made for a fun adventure hunting for treasure. Thank you.
Out for another fun day of caching with BorisB&Natasha on this very hot day.........but at least it kept the muggles away.
My apologies for the late logs but the festive season is a very busy time for a chef.
Found a close place to park to this one and quickly made the easy find before returning to the ferry for our trip home. We have enjoyed our time in the area so much and can't wait to come back.......but on a cooler day so we can do some of the great walks and a bit more exploring.

With the mercury expecting to hit 40 today it was decided that Nut bear and I should hit the high seas and venture over to the other side. We have been here plenty of times but never as cachers and always enjoy this area very much.
This was a nice easy find with the water being enjoyed by lots of bird life on this very hot day........ wish we could have joined them.

While out running from Portarlington to St Leonards, I took the opportunity to look for this cache on a pleasantly muggle-free morning. Water level was high, but the hide was fortunately much higher and proved a quick find with the clue. TFTC, VKC1SR.
No luck finding this one, but a friend has so may ask her for extra hints. Mozzies were VERY friendly. Will try again soon.
We're here on a week's holiday in Portarlington. Well last night the rain and wind started and it wasnt much better this morning so it wasnt until mid afternoon that we set off to do some caching today After finding some caches around Drysdale & outer St Leonards we came to this lovely lake. Continuing on from the other cache, it showered as we walked along -brrrrr!! We found the cache after accessing the very helpful and detailed hint TFTC and again thankyou for bringing us here - fave point for this one -GJMMelb
My second find of the day whilst hunting sailing ships! No ships but 4 caches! Haven't been here for years!
Thanks VKC1SR for bringing me back!
Thanks VKC1SR for bringing me back!
I have found this cache. It could have been months ago now and I probably had a cool story to go with it at the time but instead I saved it in my found list and now I forget everything. No more of that from now on. Thanks anyway! =]
Quick find with fergzter on a lovely day. Enjoyed the walk, the birds and the cache. TFTC
Found this one relatively quickly once we actually opened our eyes and had a look around! TFTC.
Found the cache no worries but doesn't contain a pen. Make sure you byo when you are looking for this one. TFTC!
The two 'Lenny's' caches were the closest caches to where we were staying at St Leonards. This was the second of the two while taking the geobeagles on a circuit of the 'pond'. As we approached GZ we noticed a likely spot and then discovered the well-hidden cache quickly without any searching. We signed the log at 11:50am and then continued on our walk around the lake. TNLN.
Thanks VKC1SR for the cache and for bringing us to this picturesque lake, which had an abundance of feathered creatures today. The geobeagles enjoyed sniffing the bushes surrounding the lake and managed not to disturb any of the birdlife.

This was a nice quick find with Biggles Bear on our way to our 7000th cache later in the day. Thanks for the cache.
Tried this one a few years back but didn't realise it had been disabled. Was out this way today so had to pick it up. Easy little cache.

We headed down to Point Lonsdale to celebrate our 8th Wedding Anniversary.
We have been here many times in the last few years so we are starting to see some more of the Bellarine in our caching excursions.
It was quite windy today but not cold which was a bonus!
Thanks for placing the cache for us to enjoy.
Nice and easy find.

A nice walk from the nearby cache, dawdling along so the young family learning to ride bikes could overtake us and give us some hunt opportunities. We disturbed some water birds while searching and unfortunately the nearby pumping station wasn't making the hunt a pleasant experience. We quickly signed the log and moved upwind. TFTC
The places you find when you are geocaching - something we never knew existed. Lots of bird life. Watch out for bird poo when you are rummaging about. Nice hide. TFTC.
This was our 3rd cache find in the caching run & we found it at: 11:35.
This now makes our total find count 5713.

A nice stroll from Lenny's Bridge on a mild but humid day. A thought she spotted GZ straight away but there wasn't room for a 1L container (per the description) there so the search continued for about 10 more minutes before J decided to have a closer look at A's initial hunch and found the 200 mL cache container.
Thanks VKC1SR for leading us to another pleasant spot (and another playground for the geokids so we can bargain for more caching time )

Found at 2:59 PM GAFF5. On a beautiful day to go caching, we parked just a few metres away from GZ. As we approached we could smell the unmistakable aroma of duck @#$% and so we were intent in finding the cache quickly, however we could not find any location that corresponded exactly to the hint. After a while Peter from Phetlern yelled out that he had found it in a very exposed spot. When we replaced the cache we placed a marker as per the hint.
Thanks VKC1SR

OMG! What a stench coming from that building just up the track. No idea what it was but whatever it was, it was dead. The cache was a nice easy find but we had to get in and out quickly due to the aforementioned smell.
Took nothing, left nothing.

We were sure we had done Lenny's pond on a previous visit. So sure that we walked from Lenny's Bridge , past the courts and headed for one of those unique seat things! Then I desided to look at the GPSr - ah! Wrong direction!! Retraced our steps and off we went to GZ. GPSr had us fooled for a few minutes however Ladybug made a discovery - our 700th cache. Thanks VKC1SR for another nice walk and an important cache.
This was found with my caching friend Square Pegs on a day spent exploring the Bellarine Peninsula before returning to Melbourne. It was a great day and we scored a variety of other caches as well visiting areas I've never been to which is what I like about caching. Thanks to the CO for bringing me here today.
Wandering on from Lenny's Bridge with abl973, we made our way around this pleasant lake. A nice little spot! Thanks for the cache.
Standing first on the wrong side of the pond )
Nice walk to the cache and easy find.
Thanks & Greetings from Switzerland

Found by Mary & David, in company with GeoJo, at 1540. A curious and rather territorial moorhen was clearly guarding the cache. Enjoyed this pleasant spot, the placid water and a few ducks. Our last for the afternoon with GeoJo, who had to return home for a meeting. Our thanks to VKC1SR.
Great spot for a cache. Would love to come back here and do some more exploring. Plenty of bird life - a very inquisitive moorhen came to check us out while we were filling in the logbook! Tftc.
TFTC easy find on a sunny morning didt sign log as didnt have a pen and no pen in cache TNLN

Well, it's the weekend again and today is going to be an absolutely glorious day. A perfect day for a caching run on the Bellarine Peninsula with my caching mate, SedgwickDave.
We made our way on foot from Lenny's Bridge to this one. We initially searched in the wrong spot but soon after came up with the cache.
Thanks to VKC1SR for the cache. TNLN.

Out caching today with caching mate ahomburg with today's region being the Bellarine Peninsula. Never been to this part before only QueensCliff so it was nice to explore the surrounding region.
Having found another cache by VCK1SR close by this one the next found and today the GPSr was showing it was about 10m as it wanted me in the lake. A nice classic hide and a lovely area to walk around, thanks for bringing me here.

It's been soooooooo long since I've been to St Leonards. The place hasn't changed much in all these years. A great little spot for a cache. It's amazing that people can have a holiday house on the lake and still be able to walk to the beach. Thanks for the cache VKC1SR.

A nice stroll in the late afternoon with Sully1 here, and a quick find after reading the great hints.
Thanks again VKC1SR, a nice tour of your area today

Found with bogonghazy on a days caching run to St Leonards and back. Was getting a bit chilly by the time we arrived here, so loaded up with the warm coats and took the walk to GZ, where bogonghazy quickly called "got it". Log was signed, no swaps made. Thanks to VKC1SR
