Thank goodness husband found this! I was despairing at all the possible locations for the hide . Lots of fun scrambling around. Thankyou!

Geo hubby takes the homies for this one! We come to Ventnor twice a year for the bike racing and finally had time for some caching. TFTC great hide

Great fun scampering around the Bush and beach with my son, who managed to find it.

Enjoying the series but the order we're doing them in seems to be of increasing difficulty. Eventually slogged our way to somewhere near gz and then the fun began. Here and there and up and down. Past logs and photos consulted. Grandsons getting nowhere and the Mum and the Pa getting frustrated. 20mins and the Mum wins out. Locations like this must make cache maintenance hard.

Found it but was a fluke. Great spot, we entered from below. Photo was a help.

The log in this cache is sodden and in desperate need of a replacement.
We also suspect the cammo has come adrift, the cache is clearly visible.
Some TLC by the CO would be appreciated by future seekers please.

The Bureau promised some atrocious weather, later in the day, so we made an early start to search for a few more caches in close proximity to Cowes.
The tricky part here, was finding the simplest and least windy approach to the GZ. It was PP who spotted this one, made a little easier as it seems to have lost some cammo. We squeezed our name onto the very soggy log and returned the container as found.

Thanks Jared75182 for placing this cache.

Was a lucky thing that we had our torches on is as once we ginally arrived to gz it was dark and the search began soon enough we finally had this guy in hand unfortunately the log needs replacing tftc

very clever hide

Found it

Have to love caching in the winter months, enjoying glimpses of sunshine and deserted beaches. Thanks for a cache to highlight these beautiful beaches.

Bush bashed my way in, not really! Out an easier way. Found container, looks like Camo is missing and log is damp. TFTC

Found this one this morning while grabbing a few caches in and around the island with omegaman1971. The cache was soon located after a short search, thanks Jared75182 for the hide and for bring us to this great spot.

Down Phillip Island with Happy pants for a few days of caching fun. Think we walked the long way to the cache.
Cheers for the cache

Took a while to find the best way to Ground Zero but got in there eventually. We disturbed a nest of slater bugs when we found the cache. It was very wet but we made our impression and had the log signed in the fading light. Emerging from the scrub we were greeted with a brilliant sunset which was a beautiful way to finish the day of caching.

With 3 million geocaches on the planet, we've chosen yours to find. You should be thanking us!

A little walk along the beach, taking in a new side of the island, then off into the bushes for the hunt. I kept getting interrupted by alpha female's text messages, but soon managed to zero in on the spot and locate the hide, now without what appeared to be its camo.

What a lovely beach! Happy Easter!

Great find!

Found with Christine Phil and Ben

Found in Easter weekend adventure tftc

Very clever but paper n bag need replacing as split and wet. Cheers.

Quick and easy find. Tftc

Found with Bethusala.

found it

Bit further in than on the edge of the vegetation. Photo by maximus1978 was a help. Thanks for the cache!

No luck!!

We're os it we can't find it

A short look around and the cache was found. Nice beach, nice hide. Tftc.

Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it after a short stroll along the beach.
Thanks FTC.

Very wild hide on a rainy day tftc

This was certainly an adventure .. I as determined to find it - though the GPS was a bit wacky ... Just as we found it - the sky opened up .. It was a VERY quick walk back to the car!

Found with the Phillip Island Crew on our group assault of the island. TFTC

A group of us planned a geocaching assault on Phillip Island today, seeing how far we would get in finding all of the approximately 120 available caches. We did aim mostly for puzzles, mysteries and earthcaches so it was no surprise that we ended the day with less than 20 finds... quality over quantity, I suppose .

Walking to this cache was easier than finding it. After some searching we realized it helped having a previous finder with us .
Thanks for the sneaky challenge and clever camo, Jared75182 .

A big drive down from Geelong for a day out on the Island with friends old and new. A great day with mainly finds save for a couple of D5's. Perfect weather too which had to be happy with, despite the thick fog in the morning! Caches were logged 'The Philip Island Crew - 5/08/16' to save logbook space as a group.

A bit of a walk here, but loved every bit. Great little spot and walk to this cache. Cheers and thanks!

A nicely concealed micro that detained us for a non-trivial span of time. Log was signed 'The Phillip Island Crew' as time-saving measure. Thanks Jared75182!

A coastal wander led us to GZ
Another beautiful part of the island we got to see today
A smidge of prior knowledge led to a quick find
We could have been looking for quite a while otherwise
Thanks Jared

Cool. Found with Pi Crew

Great spot never been here but this is my favorite so far at the island... Tftc

Great spot!
Lovely quiet beach too, nice

One of my favourites. The environment around the cache was amazing. Definitely deserves a favourite! TFTC!

Rain finally stopped so off to the beach to watch the sunset - oh gosh, there just happens to be a cache just over there, what a coincidence reasonably quick find, just as well as fish and chips calling

A short walk along the beach trying to avoid some plover chicks that the older birds left on the beach when we approached. Then into the scrub and a short search revealed the cache. Signed log and replaced. It looked like it was missing some camouflage. TFTC

After searching to get to GZ. Found it quickly. Log wet so placed a new one into cache.

Luckily wearing my thongs while on a walk along the beach a nice quick find but a few bugs weren't happy with my discovery. Thanks for bringing us here, a new part of the island we hadn't yet explored

Found 10 seconds after i said i will give my self 5 more minutes

Found while doing Hooded Plover watch on this beach. After clambering around for quite a while I spied the treasure. Great!

Unable to sign log as log "chock-a-block ". Didn't have spare with me. Note to self carry spare logs in caching bag.

TFTC!

Found after long search,needs new log

nice spot thanks for bringing me here aroha and happy caching from NZ

Great hide

Stayed at Cowes Phillip Island while my partner teachs Auslan weekend at Culture Community Centre for Saturday and Sunday.

lovely walk along the beach with good weather
Found it
Thanks Jared75182

Super peaceful spot for a cache. Not a soul on the beach. Feel a little lucky to have found this one - although some camo may have fallen off prior to our arrival. Cheers.

Woo! Very lucky find! Flies are SO bad

Birds nest

Needs new log book, not ideal for bare foot. Make sure you go around the bird fencing. Great find!! Time for a dip!

TFTC

Found with the team

First night cache! Found it Pip1704

Found it with my friend. My first night cache. Yay. TFTC

TFTC! Pleasant walk along the beach

TFTC, heaps of bush flies too.

Found near a cute little bird nest. I found the hint rather confusing and followed the GPS unit instead. Tftc

Nice one great location

Iog beads repairing

It was a perfect day for a stroll along the beach as we headed for gz for this cache, and we made sure to keep well away from the fenced off Hooded Plover breeding area. The cache itself was a quick and easy find, and we picked up a TB to move along while we were there. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Out this morning with OrionJ. This was one of the more interesting walks we did while staying on Phillip Island. Actually most of the walks are interesting. There were notices up here warning people not to encroach on the area where some Plovers were nesting. We easily skirted around this area and spent a bit of time zoning in on the right spot. It did not take too long to make the find them. Once we had our names in the log we headed back towards to car. On the way we came across an Echidna digging for it's lunch. There are so many surprises around this area. TFTC

Back onto Phillip Island with LHE Duo, after spending a fun day just off the island on the Rail Trail and this was the last stop for the day. We parked at the top and wandered along down to the beach towards the cache. This was quite an interesting walk seeing a little bit of the wildlife around. There was the hooded plover babies, just hatched. Then on the return from the cache there was the Echidna digging around for it's dinner. Finding the cache took a little longer partly because I got a phone call, but not to long in the end.

TFTC

Well hidden geoson found this one

Maybe not the best time of year for this one with the bird hatching.. Total fluke but turned around and found it at perfect chest height.. Tftc

Not so easy to reach because of wildlife refugee area.
Found it at the end without to disturb the birds

Was expecting a longer search but not to be

We made a quick find after narrowing down a potential GZ. TFTC Jared75182!

what a chalange! Keep going!! Whoo find!!

While we have nothing to do y not head to Philip Island and find some caches. Out with geobrother on this hunt. Tftc

Tftc nice quick easy find with geobrother lukie1987

I suspect there was something to stuck to it - bit of cross country challenge - came in from it the hard way but all good - tflc

First time ever my phone took me exactly to GZ.

First time ever my phone took me exactly to GZ. Loved the history lesson here. Especially the knarly tree. Was so nice to be barefoot in the sand and feel the ice cold water on our aching old lady feet. Thanks for bringing us here.

My first wonderful experience at geocaching !

Tricky and sticky. Found it after some good hunting.

Second of 2 in the area with aquapearl and geokids. Honours go to aquapearl for both finds. A few mothballs to clear out of my brain. Obviously a favourite spot Jared75182. Thanks for bringing us here and learning the history. We loved the beach today and the views. Sunny winter day but no whales today.

Excellent camouflage.

Excellent camouflage.

I somehow managed to find this one when the gps had me wandering all over the place. Loved the hide. Tftc

Omg! Brilliant! Cheers for this! Tftc.

Merci pour la cache.

Tftc

Came unprepared without a pen, took us a while but kept looking and, hey presto!

I must admit I despaired a little when I read the clues in previous logs... Hanging? Sticks? This was going to be a needle in a haystack! Gah! Fortunately, I found it before the cache rage set in... Nice one. TFTC

Great hide, certainly took a bit of thought and searching to find this one. Perfect evening for a walk along a beautiful, deserted beach with a friend who got introduced to geocaching.

Last day to grab a few more caches on the island before we move on leaving many caches unfound and I don't like that as I may never be back but time will tell.
A cool day and even bought a hoodie to keep out the chilly wind and wandered down to have a hunt for this guy.
Before we left home we had all solved except the Multies and Traditionals
This would be our last cache today in this wonderful area of PI. Just be careful when finding this guy as the Hooded Plovers are nesting close to GZ but you can safely head into the scrub just before the roped off area.
This is a very good and well thought cache but it may need a little TLC shortly but if finders take a little care it will fool a lot of cachers.
Well done Jared75182 another F.P. today.

Stick with it...

Just got super confused!

Great hide. Watch your head. Second one of the day.

On the island today to do a spot of caching with GJM Melb and SeaChels... One of the prereqisits that JMelb came down was that she got to dip her toes (and subsequently her phone) in the water... Whilst she frolicked in the somewhat cooling ocean GMelb had already found this cache), SeaChels and I made our way to GZ... As we got closer I went in alone as SeaChels has some ailments that would prove difficult for her to reach GZ..

Given it is a JARED cache I was expecting a fair bit of a hunt...Once at GZ the cache was actually quite easily found... On the decent back down the dunes, i lost my sunnies, I actually had to climb up again!! ARGH!

Thanks Jared for an amazing location :)

Find #4416

After a reasonable nights sleep at the Big 4 Caravan park, it was time for an early start on an anti clockwise loop of Phillip Island. The weather was looking simply Awesome, so off I went in high spirits ready for a big day caching.

This one was a reasonable walk in along the beach and I had to avoid a bird rookery. Very clever hide, when I stopped to start looking for it, it was staring me in the face!!

Thanks to Jared75182 for placing this cache.

Found with ms enchantress on a beautiful day at the Island. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely spot.
