We gave it a good search, but as the last couple of find logs mention, the container is missing and only a plastic bag & log remained.
We also realised we were setting off the sensors, so we hightailed it out of there.
Thanks anyway The Three Geo Amigos.

This cache is very damp as the container is missing and only a plastic bag and log remains. I replaced it where I found it.
Found after a bit of a search. I’m not sure how new they are but there are sensors on the back of the pillars on the driveway which alerts people to someone’s presence at the gate. So we soon had company - checking out what we’re doing. We explained the game and they were all cool. After finding the cache I did move it slightly forward so that you don’t have to actually cross the sensor line to find it now. Thanks
This one took some time to find it. Unfortunately we were setting off the sensor for the nearby property and someone came out to ask what we’re doing. Once we mentioned geocaching he was fine with it. Luckily Cathylm soon had the cache in hand and we are off again. Thanks for the fun
Found together with Quasar after not beging found for months. What a coincidence. Nice camo cache
Short evening walk from the accommodation and found 2 overseas cachers trying to find the same cache! After being unfound for several months! Not too hard with 3 pairs of eyes looking. Thanks.
Staying at Wyndham for the week. Going for a walk and finding some of these wonderful pathway caches. Wow love the camo TFTC
On a caching road trip with gwd.aussie in a effort to complete the Mystery of the Museum Promotion. Thankfully a better day than yesterday enabling us to get the bikes out to undertake the series.
Thanks The Three Geo Amigos
Thanks The Three Geo Amigos
Parked at the RSL, unpacked the folding bike, and test rode.
Using google bike nav, to tell us when to stop, so we undershot most of the cache each time.
If we do much more bike cache, i need a phone mount for the handle bars.
Off to a rocky start.

Found it after attending CITO ‘Planting for the environment’, thank you The Three Geo Amigos for placing the cache.
We are having a holiday in Phillip Island this week. The rain has cleared so it was an opportunity to get out and do a bit of exploring, even though it was very wet under foot.
We broke out the bikes to start this interesting little trail, where we found a variety of good hides in different containers. This one had me looking far more than was needed. I was so happy to finally stumble upon it.
Thanks The Three Geo Amigos for all the effort of placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play

Couldn’t find this one on the first go. Found it in the way back. I was looking directly at it and then moved on. Geo wife promptly found it straight after I had moved on. TFTC

Took a bit dodging guy in front yard mowing! Thanks for the cache. Perfect day for it!
After our arrival in Melbourne we drove directly down to Philipp Island, our first stop in Victoria. Here we looked and found some boxes before we were heading to the Penguin Parade. Thanks to the co‘s for placing and maintaining the caches. Found and logged together with GPS-Wickie, Mikaching and Swerik.
Today we started our journey with a flight from Sydney to Melbourne. Watching the news it was perfect timing, because Sydney was hit by heavy rain, thunder and lightning the same night.
For our accommodation here on the island we had chosen the Ramada Restort. It was a good spot for starting our different adventures. Already on our way to the resort we started to stop for a couple of caches. Later we took a nice walk and continued to find caches in the area. We finished our day to attend the attraction of the island, the penguine parade.

I was standing on it. PM TUMUT NSW travelling around Oz with my caravan and mountain bike
Went from Phillip Island to Fish Creek and we stopped for caching for a shorter hike and along the road.
We wrote full name or IJPS stand for the first letter i our alias ( Jsson, Ingabo, Peter-tvm, Sivun)

We, (jsson, peter-tvm, Sivun and myself) went for a small car drive on Philip island today. We logged as IJPS.
We had nice weather so we made some longer walks too.
Thanks for placing a cache for me to enjoy and find.

Cache needs a plastic bag.
Thanks.

So we were searching at the co-ords but couldn’t find the item, geokid two picked it up on the way back to car and threw it back down unaware. I happen to see it and then the log was signed and cache replaced. The log is a bit damp but otherwise fine.
Thanks The Three Geo Amigos for the cache.
Here’s to cache number 404. Let the fun continue.

Returned to the island today to make a start on the Pathway series
Parked in the RSL carpark and walked from #30 to #20 and return, with just 1 DNF
Enjoyed the variety of caches and hides. Most found in excellent condition
Many thanx to The Three Geo Amigos

Ooh a very sneaky hide!!! I always seem to pick peak hour to do this series so it was very handy to have done Dr. Sues inspired agaves to “take pictures of” while searching for the cache!! A favourite point for the sneakiness of the cache!!
My wife is sleeping in this morning so I'm trying to complete as much of this pathway series as possible on our weekend away. I am being lazy and driving between caches because I don't have a bike and I don't have enough time to walk it! Thoroughly enjoyed the series, Thankyou so much for all the well maintained and creative caches.
Done on out trip to lovely Australia. Greetings from so often mistaken AUSTRIA and TFTC!
After we have seen three snakes when we wanted to go for a hike, we decided to do something else and went to the beach first to have a small break. After that we walked along the road to find some of the many caches that are hidden there. Thank you very much for this one! Nice greetings from Austria
Oh my. So tricky!! So much fun with kids, avoiding being seen thanks again.
Find 1323.
Had a bit of trouble locating this one. Geowife made the discovery. Log signed and back safe again.
Thanks

On a 6 day tour of Victoria with Barnzy12. Taking the red eye over from Perth we managed to visit some great places. The main reason for the travel was the Mega event in Alexandra and the opportunity to find 12 cache types in a day.
We originally travelled to Phillip bay, then up through the country side to Alexandra. Spent a few nights staying high in the snowfields and then moved over to Mt Disappointment. We then ended up back where we started returning the hire car at the airport to fly home.
Some quality caches were found all over the state, great to get a real range of cache sizes with some very large caches compared to what’s available in WA and the range of D/T options so close to each other was a bonus.
Thanks to all the Cache owners for you placements and creativity put into hiding and have awarded a few fav points based on this or the location it bought us too.

In Melbourne with Cravo10 to attend the Mega in Alexandra.
We took the red eye from Perth, leaving at 1am Thursday morning, and departed Melbourne early Tuesday morning, so it was a short five day trip.
We managed to snag a couple of nice stats for the trip. First mega event, 12 cache types in a day, 10 lab caches, 50th large cache find, and most importantly my 10,000th find at Mount Disappointment.
We spent the first day on a caching run from
Melbourne to Phillip Island where we had booked into the local caravan park for the evening. We cached all day chasing down a number of the whereigo and puzzle caches from the CF series, before ending the day caching the extremities of Phillip Island, where we had both never been, an amazing part of this country.
Next morning we cached our way to Alexandra which was the main reason for our trip to Melbourne as we had both never managed to attend a mega, which were hoping to rectify in WA next year! Attended the pre event and managed to get a couple of group FTFs by torchlight which was a real highlight.
Saturday we cached in and around Alexandra all day, chasing numbers, the highlight of the day would have to be the birdbox hides around Alexandra and the multi in Bonnie Doon from that famous TV show, a real nice touch!
Sunday was an epic caching day, chasing down 12 types in a day, which required a couple of huge drives to claim some of the rarer icons around. A huge caching stat which is a very rare feat in the Southern Hemisphere. We finished the day travelling to Mount disappointment where we found Melbourne's 1st cache and then started making a dent in the powertrail, finishing by torchlight.
Our last full days caching was spent at Mount Disappointment to chase some big numbers and with a few caches around the burbs for good measure.
Special thanks to all the wonderful COs around Melbourne for their brilliant caches, and to the mega committee for organising a ripper event, hope to be back next year!

This time I tried stretching to sneakily sign the log while waiting for peak hour to cease at 8:40am Wednesday. Something that didnt look right, was right. Tftc in good condition.
Day 6 of our stay and we are tackling the bike path series, in reverse mind you. We have the son-in-law and a grandson, both good cachers, with us. This is the first for the day, and with few spots to hide a cache, requires alternative logic. The son-in-law soon works it out. Back to the car, because we're trying to treat these as drive bys. We'll see how it goes.
A quick find on the way back from the track, before the threatening storm hits. Thanks The Three Geo Amigos
A good start to a nice but cold day on Phillip Island.
Got on the bike to do some of the Pathway series.
First stop was #30
Looked in a few places before finally noticing the well placed cache.
I didn't see a single person on the pathway all day.
Thanks The Three Geo Amigos

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

I looked in a few wrong places before spotting the right container, which made it an easy find in the end.

Walked down the path from the RSL looked around and there it was, quick find, signed the log and replaced. Needs a plastic bag as one of the logs is wet. Thanks to The Three Geo Amigos.
TFTC,
We arrived in the area last night and looked to locate a cache this morning before going to the race track to take in the Historic race meeting.
This is a part of our adventure trip that takes us to the National Riley Rally on Philip Island, Bush walking at the Grampians that we missed last trip because of fires, a 50th with a friend on the Murray River and the Red Center Experience GC6825Z before returning home with skibum1 from America via Broken Hill, Lightning Ridge, Killcoy and Armidale.
Visited a group of trackables that will be left at the Alice Springs Event .

On PI for the International Island Classic at the Grand Prix Circuit and had time for one quick hunt. This was it. Parked my bike in the RSL Car Park and a quick walk down the bike path to GZ. Just as I was digging out the gypsy to back up the iPhone I spotted the target.
The cache is in good condition.

A quick find here as I have come across this type of cache before. After a fairly full day visiting several attractions on the island, my non-geocaching family was happy to stay home while I went off to find a few more caches before we leave tomorrow. Unfortunately, not enough time left to hire a bike and tackle this series... Thank you for the hide The Three Geo Amigos.
We have seen a few of these hides before so we knew what we were looking for. Tftc The Three Geo Amigos
Apologies in advance for the similarity of the logs I'm about to write ... tough to write 100% different logs for series caches!
TFTC The Three Geo Amigos - fun outdoor series!

Yay Chesterboy found it first this time. Yay me So many people around, but this is the holiday time!!!!! Sure we were muggled!
We enjoyed a beautiful day here on the island and visited a few caches. Nice hide. Sorry for the similary log. TFTC and greetings from Austria.
Another day and more caches to find before we start our journey back home to Wangaratta. Using a combination of walking and driving to capture a few more along the Pathway. SL at 9.50am #4251 TFTC The Three Amigos.
Took a little while as I was distracted by the obvious spot.

Well well, I can't believe my wife (muggle) actually found this one and was stoked, as I was explaining to her friend about what it might look like she said she had it. Maybe she'll start caching with me a tad more. TFTC
