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 2.21pm Last one for today - who knows we might be back again tomorrow for more fun in the Woodlands. #11,001 TFTC
Easy find but it was really hard to get out because it was so deep. Have located it not so deep this time
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!

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.This cache was another quick and easy find in the park today after the nearby dog-walking muggle strolled past. Cache was in good condition so I quickly signed the logbook before continuing on my way.TFTC
Struggling with loss of phone reception for a bit there but managed to find it by looking at the map features.
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
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!
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
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.
Made it to the next corner of this loop.
Cache and log are in good shape.
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.
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.
I wonder what this tree went to make?
Thanks, Robmc.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to Team_Woodlands for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Great series. I thought I'd incorporate Geocaching with a trail run through this lovely park on a weekend visit to Melbourne. Thank you
Find No. 3921. 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 # 11467
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.

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 caches here. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the company. Thanks 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.

3.13 almost 8 hours of walk 50th cache for the day, I'm just about done...my energy is zapped and I somehow missed the homestead that iced coffee will have to wait.,
Such a long day today, flying from Wellington to Queenstown to Melbourne. I had bribed TBS to pick me up from the airport as I didn’t fancy staying in a hotel and getting up at 5am to catch a train back home.
As always, TBS made a slight detour so that I could grab a few caches and also grab a few for himself.
A nice evening stroll around the Woodlands was just what I needed after spending most of the day sitting on a plane.
So many kangaroos out here. It would be so nice to pick up my house, plonk it in the middle of the reserve, look out the window and watch the world go by.
In the end the mozzies got the better of us so we left for the long drive back.
TFTC I hope to be back to complete the series soon.

After picking jo2022nz up from the airport, we had plenty of daylight left so decided a walk thru the Woodlands was in order to grab a few caches and to get jo2022nz her 500th cache. I've already completed half this series but hadn't yet grabbed this one. It was a quick find and we headed off to grab some more before the mozzies got the better of us. We were delighted by the number of kangaroos we saw and how close we could get to them. Nice hide TFTC

Steve and I returned to Woodlands Park today to try and complete the series. The weather was perfect, but part of the park was closed so we will have to make a third trip some time in the future.
**Thank-you to Team_Woodlands for placing this geocache**

On our deadly treadleys, catnap777 and I were on a challenge mission hoping to find as many caches out here as we could that have had 500 visitors or more. 
The Woodlands proved very bountiful. [^]
We made sure we were back at our starting point before the gates were locked, moved the car, and rode straight back in again for just a few more.
This game can be somewhat addictive.

Found cache and log signed with dalerious on what was my first visit to this wonderful place.
It was a lovely ride around here, and it was lovely to see so many visitors to the area.
The grounds were beautiful and seeing the Thoroughbreds on our journey brought back memories of when I was in the industry as a strapper and owner.
The weather was wet at times, but that didn't hamper our plans.
Can't wait to get back and do it all again.
Speedy recovery Team_Woodlands.

*Cache find # 13323.*
About and about with biggles1024 trying to see how many of the Woodlands 100 we can find.
This series has been on the to do list since it was published and for one reason or another we just haven’t made it out here, today we finally did.
Cache was found and log stamped or signed.
