Tiny little log. Here hunting some caches with promontory. Beautiful day, fun finds. TYFC

Spring Victorian Incursion 2024.Day Three: Ballarat to MelbourneWeather: third day of strong winds but more sunshine now.One of seven Woodlands100 caches logged today, as I slowly chip away at this series. I had dropped friends at the airport and I wanted to hang in the area until I knew that they were boarded and on their way overseas.All caches attempted today were easy finds and caches in good condition. A big thank you to Team_Woodlands for setting up and maintaining this most enjoyable series.A trickier hide here.

We are very happy to return out here to Woodlands Park after so long, and maybe to finish what we started years ago.We did the ringer ringer Rosie with this one but found the cops safe and dry.TFTC

This one is pretty far off the beaten track. Tftc

Nice

LG found it

Checked on this one today.Changed the log.Sharpened the pencil.All good to be found.

After a hiatus of 4 years we are back again to find some more of this series. Found ourselves a safe parking spot and set off on foot in the big park amongst the kangaroos and the big trees. SL at 12.25pm #10,988 TFTC

SL at 15:30pm. Excellent spot. TFTC.Number 24 for the day. Hardest find so far.

TFTC.....this was a clever little hide, not helped by the fact that all the trees "mucked" about with the GPS.! Frilk definitely played a part in finding this one for me.

Out for a day with my Geobro - signed as YAWT - TFTC

Different to the othersTFTC

Good clue easy find

Found it!! TFTC

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. From day 49/74, I was accompanied by my dear son, geocacher Ruupertti, who travelled from Finland to visit me in Australia and to spend a holiday with me in New Zealand at the end of my secondment. Day 50/74, Monday. After we both (me and my son) worked the day remotely from our AirBnB apartment in Keilor Downs, we headed to the lovely Woodlands Historic Park in early evening. We saw so many kangaroos again, and the geocaches too. We had so much fun! Thanks for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland!

After a morning inside for a bowling tournament we wanted to make the most of the afternoon and get out walking. Came to Woodlands for the fourth time hoping to get the last ones from here. Thanks for this great series!

It is a tiny log.

Found it wow

After having just spent a lovely week with my family, it was time for them to return home. I dropped them off at the airport for their early morning flight then made my way back out to this area for my second visit to find the Woodlands series of caches. I found eight caches during my previous visit here but today, with much more spare time available, I was determined to find many more. Unfortunately I was unable to find all the remaining caches during this visit, so I will definitely be returning for at least a third time in the near future.I definitely did not take the ideal route to this cache from the previous find. I found myself walking over small hills, bush bashing and finding holes in fences to fit through. It was certainly one of the more difficult parts of my walk in this park today. To make matters worse, my GPS was in no mood to settle down. When I did eventually arrive at GZ, my GPS was pointing me in an array of different directions around the area. The best thing for me to do in that situation was to simply put it away and begin searching. After searching for a bit, I did eventually manage to find the cache.TFTC

Off trail a bit but a nice one tyfc

TFTC

Good Find

Enjoyed a lovely day here with excellent company of moonbi and even the weather was on our side. With a long day walking around managed to find almost half the caches on offer. We will be back Thanks for all the work that has gone into placing and maintaining this great series

Picked it up. Put it diwn. Lol. Where is the cache. TFTC

Ahah, Snips&Co spotted it but did not though it was it once in hands! I saw the lid on the way down, so we found it!

I was in the area after dropping my partner and daughter off at the airport. This was my third visit and I'm slowly plugging my way through the entire series. I walked a little over 13km on this cool June day.

I found doing these today was much better compared to the summer months as there really isn't a lot of tree over. All these were found easily using the hints provided. Thanks for the series, I'll probably finish it on the next run -

A huge day out with a total of 69 caches found for the day (including #100 for me and #1000 for jaamc_3335). A big thank you to team TACKT for inviting me along for the adventure and Team Woodlands for placing and maintaining all the logs!

Quick find for team TACKT+C - TFTC

Out and about with Team T.A.C.K.T including Jaamc, Kpatt and tag along cazzajane07. We had a goal to tackle this series to help cover milestones for some of our members, 69 caches down, 20km of park explored and we had a blast, there was laughter, tears, the occasional swear as we took on the long hike and we all had a fantastic day out with the team :3

On a beautiful sunny winters day Team TACKT + C set off for on our mission, nice quick find, thanks for placing this series

Not hidden

Found it!

After visiting the nearby CITO and gathering some information for the nearby Cache Crawl event, I decided the weather was now too good to go home. The sun was shining and so I headed to woodlands to do another loop.

The caches camo had rolled a little, so I rolled it back into place.

Cache and log in good condition with plenty of room to sign.

Thanks Team_Woodlands for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Au Fait and I had a lovely walk doing the caches in this loop. It was nice to walk in this area with the trees, stumps and posts all telling their own story.
Thanks for the caches Team_Woodlands.

Loaded up the deadly treadly and headed off for another few hours at Woodlands.
Completed a small loop starting at the southern car park, and doing several eastern caches.

Tiny log is not an exaggeration! Did a few loops around the area before I spotted it.
There is certainly a shortage of logs though.
Thanks, Robmc.

Quick find during a hike in the park.
Thanks for the cache & Greetings from Switzerland

Find No. 3920. Found with FUF009.

A day trip down to do the Woodland series of caches.
Took our bicycles and FUF009 came with us.
Arrived at the gate, unloaded our bikes, had a cuppa and off we went getting our first cache at 8.55am.
We worked our way through the series stopping several times to watch the coming and going of the jets at Tullamarine.
After a long warm day with several challenges, we arrived back at the car park for a rest and well earned cuppa.
We put the clues together, punched in the co-ords and went and claimed the final cache of the series.

Find # 11466

Found with Tyred n Cranky.

Well this has been a long time coming, to do the Woodlands caches. Many a plan has fallen through due to health and pandemic and work issues. But finally all was on our side for a cracker geocaching day to end 2022.

With bikes loaded up we were off, left St.Arnaud just before 6am and had the first cache signed at 8.55am. Then it was just one by one, following the GPSr.

From flowing trails to bush bashing (with and without tall grass) and even a bit of water, we had a lot. All the while the sounds of planes going overhead, birds around and the odd 100 roos thumping the ground when we disturbed them.

We managed to make good time and accomplish all we set out to do. Despite the heat and a couple of hills I had to walk up.

We believe luck was on our side with the back paddock being opened, after seeing so many had commented on it being shut.

All in All, personally, it was great to finally get this series done with a couple others thrown in that are in the park.

Oh and by the way, we got back home just after 9.30pm. A big days outing.

Awesome

Out and about on our 3rd visit to complete this series. Full log will be on final.

We had arranged to meet Crustyvarmint (together his faithful sidekick, Pilot) and RedcbBlueBM to tackle some of this series of caches. Apologies for some generic logs. The weather was good and the caches we tackled were all found after short searches. It was nice to see some variety in the type of hides. We ended up finding 15 caches collecting clues when provided before heading back to our cars and lunch after which we went our separate ways. At times we had an audience of kangaroos but otherwise Woodlands was fairly quiet. In some spots it didn't pay to stand still due to the numbers of ants! Thanks to Team Woodlands for the cache.

A day out with Crustyvarmint and Lynjoh to get some of the caches here. I enjoyed the day and the company. Thank CO for these caches.

Weather was lovely for caching today as Lynjoh, Redcb, Pilot and I spent some time walking in the reserve. We found all the caches we looked for, and returned to the cars suitably exhausted.
Thanks for the series, Team Woodlands.

Love Aussie bush..this a very nice section of the woodlands as I meander along enjoying my morning and enjoying the cache finds.

Cache found and log signed with dalerious .

Detailed log about all of the caches we signed today was written up in the Woodlands Final cache as requested.

Thank you Team_Woodlands .

Having dropped mum off at the airport, catnap777 and I made the most of our day by cycling the Woodlands in perfect weather.
On this our 2nd visit to the park together, we managed to pick up every last available cache in the Woodlands leaving only those behind the catproof fence for us to find on another day when Parks Victoria eventually unlock the double gates to the Back Paddock. [^]

All caches were found or returned in good condition with dry logs and sharp pencils.

*Found on the 10 Dec 2022 @ 10:53 am.*
*Cache find # 13762.*

Today I returned to Woodlands with biggles1024 in the hope of finally finishing this series after talking about doing it for many years, I was able to get all of the caches needed except for 9 caches that are in the back paddock that we have not found as it was locked up and we were locked out so another visit in the future will be needed.
The caches today where all found fairly quickly and most of them had a new log sheet in them which was stamped as we continued from one to the next.

**Thanks to Team_Woodlands for placing this cache.**

Found at 12:09 pm.
Today the weather was finally a bit better so we had the scooters out to try and finish off this series today. Well for me anyway, OzHockeyChick still needs some in the fenced off area which was closed. Apart from one DNF I have now finished off the series in this great park.
Plenty of off track finds today and gladly had the off road based scooters as well otherwise we may have well of walked everywhere. Ah, fun times, headed off for ice cream celebration after finishing.
Thanks Team_Woodlands for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

A lovely, sunny day for a scooter ride with spiffy-, to find more of the Woodlands series, chatting to numerous kangaroos along the way.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, Team_Woodlands

Easy find

Quick and easy find but was unable to write in log due to a broken pencil ️! TFTC!

Tftc! Pencils broken, I should remember to bring a sharpener pen on hand so no problem

Found it

Good one

Difficult

Today I finished the last of the Woodland historic series. 26 in total to complete the 100 in the series. Oh my feet are sore. But I must say what a great location and a great time I had here this week. TFTC.

Got thrown by previous log with ants so searched further. Took me ages but finally had cache in hand

Found it

The log is a bit moist. TFTC

Dodged the very active ants to find this one

Definitely off track (well at least it was for us, perhaps there was a different path to take). TFTC.

Second day for this series collecting a few more. Tftc

Loving this series

Off the beaten track for this one or perhaps we came at it the wrong way. Quick find once in the right spot and nice camouflage. TFTC

Nineteenth cache of the day. I am really enjoying this series. There is so much animal and bird life everywhere. A slice of bush in suburbia. When I first saw this cache, I thought it was "The Corpse".

It took a bit of convincing to come out!

Nice container! Had to navigate around large puddles between caches number 60 and 61. TFTC

Checked on this one today.
Changed the log so all good to go.

Creative and clever cache! Quick find! Love this trail and area. Its so beautiful both when you go bush and when you follow the trail. The kangaroos are in abundance.TFTC Hoodedhooligans (H.H.)

A very well hidden cache.

It was out of its camo and just on the ground is full view, but back where it should have been now

Very nice hide

Trickier in the bush! TFTC!

Love the log... Ingenious
