Remembering the fallen - UB Beaconsfield Upper, Victoria, Australia
By Pinkpiggy7 on 09-Mar-14. Waypoint GC4ZWZA

Out driving on a hopefully quiet Cup Day, trying to collect caches in busy spots. Nice easy find but it isn't magnetic at the moment. TFTC.

While out exploring the area and enjoying the sunshine we came across this cute park. Thanks for the cache

Thanks for this one!

Spring Victorian Incursion 2024.Day Nine: Casey, Cardinia and Yarra Ranges. Weather: perfect for geocaching!I paused here for snacks, not realising that this was one of the towns that bore the brunt of the 1983 fires. I remember Ash Wednesday well - I wasnt living in the Adelaide Hills at the time, and the area where I now live was spared. Youd hardly suspect the fairly recent devastation from looking at the village now. Thanks for getting me to stop here with your cache Pinkpiggy7.

Thank you for a fun cache

Not (currently) magnetic and not a micro - but still found quickly. TFTC

Thanks for the cache ????

Thanks. Quick find while doing others in the area

epic

Out catching up with what two of my geocaching buddies had done without me Thanks for maintaining the cache

Very well hidden

2nd one, the book was very wet also so couldnt write in it

Thanks!

TFTC, the log book is wet though and my pen wouldnt write on it!

Log was wet TFTC

Cool. I don't know what else lives in there tho. Fun.

Out on another night adventure with my bestie BlazertriazTftc

Out on a night time adventure with MsSmokeyBear. We decided to clear up as much of Upper Beaconsfield as we could for an easy run locally. Another great local one by the one and only Pinkpiggy 7, and this cache was in great condition.TFTC

Good one!

Easy with the hint

That was tricky but cool and satisfying!

Almost had the wrong spot

In area to catch up with friends and went for a little post lunch geocaching. Found cache pushed so far down and hard to retrieve. Luckily others must have had same prob and a stick handy. crazy busy area
Thanks for yet another cache Pinkpiggy7

Out to do some caches with beckgiz to wrack ip the numbers and try out the new truck :3

Had to have a potty stop so naturally we had to get a cache

We had the perfect opportunity to find this one on a quick toilet break before tackling the nearby multi! TFTC!!

With a rare free day in the holidays for all of the family we decided to go for some geocaches in an unxexplored area for us. After completing the nearby CPJR series, we decided to grab this cache before heading home. After scoping out some muggles, we made the quick, stealthy find. Tftc PinkPiggy7

Thanks!

Out with geocache hubby on the last day of 2022. It’s late afternoon and still hot but we decided to get to a few more caches before ringing in the new year.
Thank you to the CO for placing this cache. As usual the search was enjoyable

Found this one and realised we already found it previously but forgot to log it!

Found

Another quick find on a hot Xmas day. Thanks

Thank you so much Pinkpiggy7 - I can’t believe you happened to be driving past and saw me and my kids looking suspiciously around

Found it! Good hide but cache container was a bit damp

In Melbourne to attend the Mega at Whittlesea with tmann421.
Enjoyed the short trip around locating a few caches before heading to the event

Arrived in Melbourne to attend the MEGA Event at Whittlesea with woolwood9.

Not where I thought it would be. But found. Thank you.

*Gembrook Scout Awards Ceremony Adventure #11*
I had an awards ceremony for Scouts Victoria in Gembrook. I don't get to this side of town very often, so of course I'm going to pick up a few caches.
Go you good thing. Another cache honouring our fallen. Thankfully, minimum CITO required at this one, too.
By the end of the day, I'd picked up 8kg/5 shopping bags of trash across 22 cache sites (20 finds).
Thanks heaps, Pinkpiggy7!

That was a clever hide !

Had us looking in the wrong place but found it quickly. Tftc

Good find!!

Thanks

I needed a tool to remove it, as it was a bit stuck.
Signed and returned

Thanks

Found it

Not where I expected it to be, but I found it soon enough! Thank you!

Back in the game

Found it TFTC

To many people are finding our caches in breach of lockdown provisions, disabling until things are open again.

Found with geobird & geowife, good hide, not where i initially thought it was. Muggle central on a Sun morn

Woo

Nice quick find - amongst all the locals out for a Sunday coffee!!

No longer magnetic but use your instinct

TFTC very easy and quick find and back on the road.

Great cache!!! Loved the logbook.

Enabling caches again

Disabling due to the current situation

Great location

Today we played a game with ilook4geo called one, two, skip a few, three, four, skip some more. So we ended up with an assortment of traditional caches, multis and puzzles. A lot seemed to end up being fire or war related, but they were all good.
This cache was an easy find and both names were soon written on the log before all was replaced as it had been found. Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for adding this cache to the game.

Out on a caching trip today with goingplaces2, finding caches that were just picked off the map and really just because they were there. All were in good order. This was one of the ones we found and signed. TFTC.

Found it

Cache found and treasure left. Nice little hiding spot gave the kids a giggle.

Founnd

GPS bounced around a bit but got it in the end. TFTC

Toilet break

Although it was cold and wet we managed to grab this nicely hidden cache between showers then went for a wander around the village .. it didn’t take long. But we did find the supermarket open so time for a bite to eat back at the park where we were joined by a friendly magpie.. makes a change from being swooped.. thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing the cache and for creating the “Remembering the Fallen” series

9 Nov 2019: Streak Day #254/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Signed the log after the GIFF event nearby. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for a quick grab cache.

A quick and easy find on a freezing afternoon before the GIFF event.

8 Nov 2019: Streak Day #253/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Signed the log after the GIFF event nearby. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for a quick grab cache.

As I rounded the corner on my way to the nearby GIFF event I noticed a few familiar faces here.
Parking nearby I wandered over to sah hi.
I had planned on stopping for this cache as it is the only one here that I hadn't yet found.
OSHFAM arrived at this point and we strolled to GZ for a nice quick find.
It's always nice to find a cache from this series, particularly in November.
I usually try to find one on the 11th because it is such a special day being my birthday but happy to make an exception here on the 8th.
Thanks for the cache, the series and the respect Pinkpiggy7. See you shortly.

Attending the 2019 GIFF with skylizard. Cold and wet but a quick find before watching some great films.

Out with xambo4u, we stopped for this quick find, along with other cachers, on our way to the GIFF event. Thanks Pinkpiggy7

I was driving up here to attend a GIFF Event and as I turned into this street I saw what looked like a gaggle of cachers. Sure enough it was. There was n0w0rries, Riddell and a few others. I stopped my car here thinking maybe this was the parking area for the event but it turned out there was a cache to be found here. Geo kid 1 and 2 did not want to get out of the car.
As most of the group had already logged the cache, it was just n0w0rries and I who hadn’t found it. We took a short stroll and made the find.
Hopefully the younger generation will continue remembering the fallen and not forget the sacrifices these brave men and women made for us.
Thank you for the cache Pinkpiggy7

Thanks

Out and about with geo son pimpmyballoons. He had a 1st birthday gig in the local hall so I joined him to check out the area. WHOW what a beautiful part of the world, it would be even better with a little bit of sunshine so we could enjoy a view. Parked and braved the wintery weather to make the easy find. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7

Quick easy grab while we're in this beautiful part of the world

A day off work and I needed to be on the east side of Melbourne Friday night so I decided some caching on this side of the city was in order. A quick fi d as I wound my way through the hills. So much to see out this way. Pity I live so far away. Thanks for the cache.

All good... thanks for the cache

Nifty little spot

Cool hiding spot

Found this one on a scenic caching trip home after doing something in the Dandenongs. Quick find as I stopped for a toilet stop. It was where I thought it would be but my phone compass was saying the other one. Signed log and rehid cache.

It always amazes me how the proportion of war veterans from smaller towns seems so much higher than the larger cities. Lest we forget. Good cache to be doing close to ANZAC Day.

Thanks for another great cache Pinkpiggy7.

First find on what turned out to be a successful caching morning. Was expecting something a bit smaller. In good condition.
