Nice. I liked the cache.

Surprised how quickly this one was found. It could have taken us so much longer. Thanks for the cache and the series.

A great, clever hide. Took a little while to locate but could have taken a lot longer. Thanks for the cache.

Well done! Fantastic hide. TFTC

Found with help from a local. TFTC All ingood condituon

Found at 11:06 AM GAFF1.
It was just lying on the ground - one of the magnets has come off and it is nowhere to be seen.
Thanks BorisB&Natasha

The great “escape” to the coastal beach area that we went to as kids live pled like an escape from the heat wave predicted but the welcome cool change came and the joe blakes stayed under cover - phew as all this long grass and logs must be a fine reptile habitat.Lve the series and songs and the variety of fun and well camouflaged caches. TFTC and the effort!

Awesome hide. Favourite point from me . Tftc

Our main goal today was to seek out as many of this series of Bay Trail caches as we could. We enjoyed the many varied, interesting and clever caches found along the way and so many thanks to the COs for all the time, work and effort involved in having created the caches, laid them and maintained them. We also had fun making the connections between the song and the cache hides - we had a great day out! We soon located this one once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the very nicely hidden cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Nailed it.

Awesome container! Well crafted. Thanks

Another great cache. Thanks to the COs for their efforts on this trail. Spent more time getting the cache out than we did finding it lol. TFTC

Well executed, creative hide. Easily found. Had to use an implement from the surrounds to remove log from camo. Great location for camping with GeoKids. FP for this series, this one being our most favourite so far. TFTC

An awesome little find. Had to come back as there were people parked near by. Luckily I live just around the corner. As always, thank you for the fun!

I was back down the peninsula today and hoping to make a bit more progress on the Mystery at the Museum challenge. I was up to looking for jewels and a quick filtered search directed me to a cluster of caches near to Tootgarook. I started at the western end and worked my way east from there. After a few finds I carried on to this one as the next on the list. I managed to drive right up to this one disguising myself among the council vehicles that seemed to be in the area. Very nicely hidden but I made a lucky guess and made the find. My eighth find of eleven for the morning. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and a great series down here BorisN&Natasha & Nut bear. Great to knock off a few more on this challenge today.

Thanks to a very sweet Good Samaritan the container that was missing has been replaced. Can’t thank you enough

*Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in.*

I remember a really hot day in 1973. We were fixing a fence on Barry Hayward's farm, out near Dowerin, in the West Australian wheat belt. My brother in law jumped out of the ute and grabbed the wire strainers from in the back... big mistake with no gloves on. It must have been a hundred degrees in the shade (no shade where we were though), burnt his hand so bad it blistered. My sister was less than sympathetic... lol

No sun here, it was dark upon arrival but the camo was soon spotted by torchlight.
Alas the lonely log sheet had little or no cover, so a visit to the cache bag was needed.
All good here now. Thank you for placing excellent caches for us to find, BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear.
**Nice to be the 300th finder. Added to our list of favorites.** [^]

*PS: You're welcome.*

Blends right in

We like this one! But it is a good nesting spot for spiders, we encouraged a few to move on

Nice one. Introduced few friends during the weekend and just loved the variety of these cachers.

Great hiding place, tftc.

TFTC

Another great hide! Thanks

Bison has walked but a log is present. Signed the paper. Well hidden, thanks for the hint TFTC

Kein Logbuch mehr vorhanden. Notlogbuch angelegt. Braucht dringend Wartung. Und ein Magnet fehlt

Cache is MIA

Found spot but it was empty!!!

Find number 6936 at 12:53:40 pm
Out for a days drive with MuggleWifeDoes and catching up on some long ago DNF's or missed opportunities down on the Mornington Peninsula. And enjoying the sunshine at the same time, what a glorious day
A great hide this one, blends in really well.
**Thanks for placing this cache BorisB&Natasha**

Found after a bit of a hunt. Tricky little hide.

On our way home from a stay at Cape Schanck we thought we would try to find a few more of this series caches. Bunadoorian and myself found this one fairly easy and love the cache!! Love the name of the cache and the positioning.TFTC BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear

Grub62 are out catching up on a few caches while we are at this end nof the city. A pleasant walk near the beach and a cache at the end, wonderful. TFTC.

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love.
Cheers BorisB&Natasha

It's really nice here, I don't come to the beach nearly enough. Pretty little fence with great views beyond it. I found the cache quickly, which was nicely hidden. Thanks

Replaced log with new waterproof one

Don’t you love it when you read the title then drive up to the GZ and shout .. “There it is!” Only to realise your search had just begun.. TFTC

Very nice work here. I first thought the cache was missing and I was left with nothing but the camo, but nope it had just fallen onto the ground nearby. All replaced and fixed.

another quick find tflc off again in the cold and wind with pp7

#4997 found while on a cache hunt with mansgirl. Tftc... mansgirl made a quick find of that one. Found it we didn't get fenced in.

What a day blowing a gail and we thought what a day for geo

Found with Tab and geodog

????

Another good cache.
Thanks.

Nice easy find

28/4/18 very clever!
Dingo’s

Really, lol. Beat the geokid to this one. Nice camo. TFTC!

Great little find. Hidden in broad daylight. Running out of paper though we would have added some but we were also out.

Found on a hot sunny afternoon on a visit to the area from UK

??

Good hide... high muggles in summer.

Nice find beautiful day and beautiful trail !!

Nice find!

Another day ticking off some more of the Bay trail caches. It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to get to the trail so I was pleased that I finally managed to find the time.
Decided to start searching near Rosebud for no other reason than the name of the place is quite cute. Headed West along the trail for about 10 kms collecting caches but after the heat (and bloody flies) became too much ubered back to Rosebud and then drove further along the peninsula to Portsea for a few random caches around there. The eventual plan is to complete the whole bay circuit. How long that will take is anyone's guess!

Thanks for placing & maintaining these caches. It's a great trail in a fantastic part of the world

Flies. Sweat. Blood. The deadly combo of summer caching by the bay.

With water in hand and clif bar in pocket, we spent two days on the Mornington Peninsula collecting those smilies. All in all, we found 30 caches. A few less than we hoped for but thoroughly enjoyable, even if we made many of the finds a lot harder than they were.

Many thanks to the cache owners. A great variety of containers and some very nice locations.

"Let me ride through the wide open country that I love; don't fence me in." or at least walk the Bay Trail. TFTC BorisB&Natasha and Nut Bear.

A lovely afternoon for a stroll along the beach, finding some caches along the way, TFTC

tftc

Tftc

Nice quick and easy find.
TFTC

Easy, thankyou

We came this way so geo-hubby could chase golf balls around one of the beautiful golf courses in town so off I was chasing great cammo containers. I had a lovely walk along the section of bay that I did and really enjoyed these hides. This one deserves a fav point. Love the cammo.Tyftc

Find # 551
Mrs Womble made this sneaky, sneaky find. I have one a little similar (Unthanks Reserve in Somerville).
A fave from us.
TFTC

First cache for the day and one of the quick ones which was nice! Great camo, blends in nicely but still sticks out and can be found when your looking for it!

Ahh yes the Bay Trail! I remember this series from my last visit which I think was over a year ago. Today I have returned on foot once again to continue some of this trail! In total I covered about 9km of the coast with 34 finds and only 3 DNF's!! Which I thought was a massive effort given the difficulty of some of the caches. To be fair I did spent just over 5 hours making my way through them! Thanks to BorisB&Natasha + Nut Bear for one of the most impressive long distance trails I have come across

Found with figgensfour!! Great hide

Trekking with NICnCMI. Nice easy find. TFTC

Almost stepped in the !! Omg! Focused on finding the cache!! Lucky i missed it!! Thanks!!

Found it I think these caches would be almost impossible in summer with all the traffic. Another cleaver hide. It was found on a miserable winter afternoon with no one around. Tftc

Tftc

Nice little hiding place tftc

No one around quick find while camping in the area
TFTH

I spent a very pleasant morning cycling from Blairgowrie to the Information Centre at Dromana. I found most of the caches I looked for, but the odd trickier one escaped me. The philosophy of the day was to keep moving, anything that wasn’t found in a couple of minutes looking went unfound. Thanks to all of those who have put the effort into setting up and maintaining this series. Cheers and TFTC

Another one done! Seems there may be some pieces missing as the container is falling out. I've put it back as found but might need a check??

Out on the Bay Trail with Missmash again. Clever cache just standing around. Tftc

Really enjoying the Bay Trail, impressed with the ingenuity of COs. Another good find. TFTC

Good

Brilliantly simplistic in design, spotted straight away, but nice to find something that isn't an eclipse tin. Muggle central with campers and beach trekkers about everywhere.. thanks..!!

Quickly found on a lovely day after visiting the sand sculptures in Frankston. TFTC.

I picked up one potential hide object, only for the cache to fall down Infront of me lol.

Quick and easy find and a little luck had us signing the log in no time
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

It was strange riding through the empty campsite that we stayed in for new years, quite different back then.

A quick find here but the camo is brilliant. Appreciate the effort gone into this one.

Thanks BorisB&Natasha

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. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

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. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.

#6787 Arrived to Australia middle of the night, Me and Rokkan will take some caches in Australia.
We are here both for business and caching. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

This ingenious hide gets a favourite from me, even though it was easily found, it is the AUDACITY of the hide that got me

Nice day trip with geofamily left kid in the sand to go for walk with geodad

Tftc

Yet another caxhe deserving of one of my precious fave points. Really enjoying the series as I randomly stop to find a few more Thanks BB&N

Found it

Use the hint

This was one of the caches that I found today whilst riding my bike down the bay trail picking up some of the clues that I had missed and some new ones I had yet to pick up. Found these after coming back from meeting in Mornington, with the goal in mind of reaching my 500th find milestone..... which was easily achievable on this trail. I am really enjoying this series and I had saved it till the summer where i could enjoy it in the summer heat whilst adding a little difficulty with the muggle factor.Anyways thanks for the cache and the beautiful trip down the foreshore.
**Buhfuhguh #494**

Found (with WeRAmused)! 20Nov16 @ 5.45pm; Find #67

Knew where we should be looking as we approached, but again, it appeared that this one was deceptively simple. We knew we were in the right location, but where was the cache? WeRAmused takes the cake on this one - I'm starting to think that she has a deviously creative mind, as she picked it straight away, whilst I argued the point with her. More fool me

Very clever hiding place. Another great cache in what is turning into a brilliant series!

Having a nice long stroll with Khalleur for this series of clever hides. One of the rare times I was right. It had to be there. Well thought out and blended in with the environment. A fav point added. TFTC

While the rest of the family were out sailing this afternoon I went for a short walk to pick up some caches that are in popular camping spots.
A few cars parked in view of GZ made the approach difficult but in true geocaching style I stopped to adjust my sandals at GZ. Finding a similar cache yesterday helped.
TFTC.

Today we continued to look for caches along the Bay Trail. This cache was found after a short hunt. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks BorisB&Natasha and Nut_bear for the cache.

Found while down in Rosebud on truck delivery. Neat little hide TFTC

We continued on with the series whilst out for our morning walk today
In all we found another 10 caches. All continue to be of high standard and generally in good condition
Many thanx to BorisB&Natasha (apologies for the generic logs)

Final getting time to do the famous Borisb&natasha and Nut Bear bay trail on a gorgeous day with Poiter.h Sl thanks Borisb&natasha and Nut bear for the great series.

After talking about doing the Borisb&natasha and Nut Bear bay trail with Bounty Trackers for nearly 2 years, we finally got around to doing it.

[Scrat](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=4376822) visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Thank-you Borisb&natasha and Nut bear for this great series.

We decided to have a lunch break on the other side of the bay today, so myself, PacGirl and Snoopy hopped on the ferry from Queenscliff with our bikes and cycled from Sorrento to Rosebud. After a welcome break at the Sound Bar we headed back and I reckoned I could pick up a couple of caches while I waited for the crew to catch up along the way.
This cache was at the start of our return journey, and I was surprised to discover I had not done this part of the trail on my previous visits to the area.
The cache was surprisingly found quite easily as a plain hide, but then I realized that for these COs and with the FPs here there had to be something missing. And indeed there was - I soon found where the cache was meant to be and replaced it as originally intended.
It's a clever cache which blends in well, and hopefully all cachers replace it the way it's meant to be to provide the intended caching experience for others.
Thanks BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear.
