This cache has indeed gone missing but i also dislike the very public place i put this cache AND it was placed on a fire hydrant which even though it was my first hide ever i dont agree with the placement now.

spent way to long on this one lmao it was super easy in the end!!

Got down lower than I needed to to find this one, but got it in the end. Came well and truly after hours during a break at work and it was an easy sign but omg the noise echoes around here! Thanks for the find!

Great find and not slipped on an onion

Out with xambo4u, we were on a mission to complete the Pretzel Mystery series. This one was on our way . An easy find, thanks Deutz4544 and Ranger DF

Out and about with echdna44 on our way to complete the Pretzel series and we decided to do this one one our way. Good timing as Bunnings was not open. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache 1 Toolman

A quick one after restocking the esky.

TFTC.

Nice easy find on my way to Christmas dinner.

Thank you for a great little find ️

Nice easy one after dark.
Thank you

TFTC! Fun find on a night out with mrx2 and diablo1234.

Found with Diablo1234 and Monica_is_evil

Found again looking for clue! AnsMisty

A nice sneaky hide. Found in the early morning with no-one around. In good condition.

Found! After hours was a good idea. Thanks guys

his was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. There were lots of muggles around but no-one close enough or inquisitive enough to have seen what we were doing. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Heading down to Nyora for the CITO and as I was nice and early the place was empty and I found it in the first place I looked.
Thanks Deutz4544 and Ranger DF TFTC.

Cruising around on night shift presented the perfect opportunity to grab this one which I have walked past many times

There seems to be a penchant for these hides, this is my fifth of this style & location.

Dropped in on my way to dale this afternoon I looked a bit sus! TFTC

How many times have we walked past it I wonder

Nice quick find after work

Found by Mary & David at 1245. Everyone must be at Fathers Day lunches, as the place was almost deserted. A quick find. Our thanks to 1TOOLMAN.

Third trip to Bunnings today and finally found it. Thanks to Fiona convincing me where to look. Tftc

I can imagine this one would be very difficult during business hours but in the evening was a quick easy grab. Definitely a shame to be watching all the farmlands being consumed by the concrete.
I had a little difficulty extracting the log due to fat fingers and thought I may need a tool but managed to get and sign. Log and cache all in good condition

Nice easy find. Always need to go the Geo-Hubby’s favourite shop!AnsMisty

This was a handy pick up while on an errand. GZ was unusually quite which made for a quick search. Thanks for the cache.

Last stop for the day to pick up some supplies for tomorrow. Grabbed this little sucker on the way in, logged it in Isle 23, and replaced it on the way out. Smooth. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

For some reason, May is always my most productive geocaching month. Another Aussie find as I'm inching toward 1,000. TFTC

Our timing wasn't perfect for this cache - about midday on a Sunday. There was a little activity in the car park including people on the phone nearby and others exchanging gas bottles. So we located and retrieved the cache during a slight lull and moved away to sign the log. When we returned it the car park was quiet - no activity at all!! TFTC

First time in ages that I planned (and carried out) a decent early morning caching run. Up at 5am and out towards Pakenham so I could try some in the Pretzel series and a few assorted others nearby. A lovely mild morning for it and not too much traffic once I got off the beaten track. This was my fourth find of 13 for the morning as I diverted back towards Bald Hill Road. Early morning (as with any other time I guess) is busy at this spot and I had to time my movements between the staff setting up and the tradies coming and going. A quick find and I was on my way again. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Deutz4544 and RangerDF.

Nice easy find

Tftc...used as much stealth as possible but foiled everytime

Out and about, running errands and found myself here to get supplies for the bloke. Nice, quick one for a geogal that still has L plates.

Thank you very much.

2nd of today’s caching run. Didn’t I feel a right goose on my hands and knees! Thanks Fore! For the easy (haha) spot.

This cache was the first one I found for today. It was a bit of an "off-chance" as we hadn't planned on it and were headed to a different starting point. I liked the hide, adn the cache was in good order.

The reason I started Geocaching was to get the boy geopup out for a walk. I no longer have that Geopup,and my caching has languished since that time.

Today with Raspberry Vinegar and Raspberry Moo, we headed out and did a small handful despite the serious rain. It was good to get out, and we will have to come back to collect the rest in the nearby series when time next permits.

Thanks for the cache, 1TOOLMAN

Finally the closest cache to home. It's only taken 15 months. A nice quiet evening, out for a stroll, a perfect opportunity with nobody about. Quick easy find. Thanks Deutz4544 and Ranger DF

Another go at this as last time it was missing. Parked real close and found very quick. Log signed and all back safe again.
Find 1349

Good hide spot. signed the log. Thanks Deutz4544 and Ranger DF :)

Found as NicNax with MazzyMay and WeRAmused. With a Sunday drive around the area. TFTC

Found as NicNax with WeRAmused and Dipper46. We very nearly missed finding the cache as was not where we would expect it but very nicely fitting into the surroundings. TFTC

Found as NicNax with MazzyMay and Dipper46. Lots of people around stocking up for spring gardening I suppose but nobody taking any notice of us. TFTC

TFTC! Nice And Easy!

Now Open? Now Logged

Finally got this one after many many times of coming here and it not being here. Finally found it tonight so now we can get rid of this sad blue face on our map. TFTC xx

Yorsys and I dropped in here to get one last cache before heading home on the freeway. We did not stay long here, just a quick grab, log and replace for us with no one around to notice. Now to join the happy throng on the slowway home.

Out with the Swaggies at 16 June 2017 4:06 pm. Found with ease. Find 1530

Thanks for the cache easy find no muggles around

Find #5
Ez pz

Well with Fleabag- finally coming back to Victoria from all his holidays everywhere we decided to head out this way to try and complete the slog series and also to gather a couple of WhereIGo caches as well as anything else that was nearby that looked doable. It was pretty warm and sunny today but not overly hot plus a fair bit of driving so we could cool down every few minutes.

This one was only just off our route today and a nice quick find was made at GZ.
Thanks 1TOOLMAN for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

A nice day with no plans so I met up with Spiffy- for some random caching and to collect a few that had been on our list for a while. This was en route and a quick find. Thanks to Deutz4544 and Ranger DF for placing this cache.

Found it with SciFiRulz as team nicnax2

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. Quick find between muggles then into the store for a little shopping. TFTC

Nice and easy probably need to work on the hints but tftc

I had to pick up Mrs Crusty from the Pakenham station this evening, so Crusty K9 and I left early to do some hunting. This was one we found. I was very pleased to find it as I had previously had a dnf here. It seems I was a little off gz last time. tftc.

The weather was great.
take whitepaws9 with me for caching day.
Right time as Most of muggles have gone home as Bunnings closed at 5pm.
Found it
Thanks 1TOOLMAN

Perfect time to find it here after 5pm with crank1.
Great hide
thanks 1TOOLMAN

Today we explored Berwick and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find, but plenty of muggles about, phew!!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

I have been here many times before as we have a customer in this location today I turned up to find the customer was not here and I was faced with a half hour wait for them. What else could I do but find a cache. In all my other visits I had assumed this was in one spot but today I realized there was a similar spot I had never noticed before so taking a rare quiet moment I quickly grabbed signed and returned the cache before going back to waiting. At least I had time to write this log and now my customer has turned up happy days TFTC

Aiming to reach 2499 before the weekend, Lukie1987 accompanied me to this area today.
Thanks for the cache, Deutz4544 and Ranger DF

Out with ozhockeychick to collect a few in pakenham. Trying to get the numbers up before the mega, was a nice clear cool night for a few caches. Thanks for bringing me to this spot. Tftc

Out and about with mark9375 and Geo_jill and in the area to do the slog series this one was on route. TFTC

Out and about with mark9375 and Jascat Tftc

Q found this cache. As it was lunch time, we stayed a little longer. Found in the company of quiet1_au and GJMMelb, TFTC

Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au after we had completed some nearby puzzles. Q walked up and found this straight away so we did not attract notice. Being lunch time and having already found 80 caches in a morning we stopped for lunch and had a sausage. Thanks 1toolman
GJMMelb

I'd worked on the P.I.G. puzzles a while ago and recently discovered the Pretzel/Project Pretzel series so spent some time (when I should really have been studying...) cracking these too. I challenged myself to solve them all myself which I did except for one which G' of GJMMelb gave me the solution for (he solved many of them independently) as time was short. Combining these puzzles with a few others in the area and The Slog series a grand plan for a Big Day Out of caching was hatched with a core list of 133 caches to find! Our merry band of cachers - lochb who did the driving and G' of GJMMelb and myself who did the bulk of the brain and legwork - set out early for a full day of mostly drive-by caching. We succeeded in getting 134 finds before light stopped play! This was despite some setbacks: a handful of DNFs (luckily we found other caches to substitute for those we couldn't find), a couple of errors in solutions that we luckily sorted out and still managed finds, an unwelcome flat read tyre and even a couple of "close encounters" with a helicopter - we weren't sure if they were checking us out or not though. A great day of caching that saw all three of us beat our personal best finds in a day

** Smile # *4191* / Traditional # *3214* **

Today's plan was to make my way to the Dinosaur series in Pakenham and then cache my way back home finding others on my hit list for the day. It was a nice day out, quiet warm and I managed over 50 caches for the day [^]

Well this area is just a little busy but I should have guessed htat when I puled up the geo vehicle. I had to be very stealthy here and thankfully spotted it quickly. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for placing this trad 1 TOOLMAN** [^]
**Cache container and log in good condition**
**Took nothing, Left nothing**

I was out for my monthly caching trip with Biggles Bear, cleaning up the Pretzel series. It was an enjoyable day with no DNFs and just one that we needed help from a previous finder. So many varied puzzles to solve. After completing the series, we still had some time up our sleeves, so we did a few more around Pakenham, this one included.

My thanks to Deutz4544 and Ranger DF for the cache.

Found 2:50:00 PM, in the company of Muzza, whilst we were out on our October caching adventure.

TNLN, thanks 1TOOLMAN (F=474 H=7).

Found this one on my second visit. Had a look a couple months ago but it wasn't there then but it was a quick find after the CITO on Saturday.
I would have gotten a banger too if I'd had some cash on me.

Thanks 1TOOLMAN another smilie in Pakenham.

#1326

Being a regular Mitre10 visitor, I had a good idea where this one was located. This is the first time back since the last day that Mitre10 closed down and made sure it was after hours.
Nice quick find amd cache in good condition.
Thanks for the cache Deutz4544 and Ranger DF.

I hate cloudy days! GPS all over the place. The hint was necessary, but I finally got it and rain seems to have eased.

Cache gone missing again sorry.
Has been replaced today.

Sadly a DNF on a busy Saturday afternoon. Has a good search, but no luck for us.

Sorry late logs, I had to wait till someone helped me

Newly painted

I will check again sorry.

Second DNF on this one. It's been re-painted lately. Think it needs checking. Thanks Toolman

Quick find of the cache once I put the new co odds in. But no log book, so I have added a log book . tftc

Coordinates changed from:
S 38° 05.018 E 145° 29.592

Coordinates changed to:
S 38° 05.024 E 145° 29.596

Distance from original: 41.2 feet or 12.6 meters.
Damage to existing structure that has affected cache has forced the Co-Ords move....
It is now at new location and Gps co-ords should be correct.
Happy Hunting

My last one for the day but sadly like previous other cachers logged
I could not find it either... I will be back

Very damaged hide. Geokids searched everywhere. Maby next time.

Had a quick look but did not find.

Will check this week and sort if it is missing.
Sorry.

No good. The red objects at this location have been damaged and despite 4pairs of eyes searching we could not find the cache...

A quick and easy drive by while we were in the area. This one was far too easy to find as it was sitting on the ground in plain site. After signing the log we tucked it away as best we could, but a check by the co would be a good idea I think. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Deutz4544. We found your cache "Mega Boost" at 9:49:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 12552.
[Blue]
We are staying with relatives nearby, and thought that it would be a good idea to attempt the "Slog" series, (plus any others we would pass along the way). We got some of the way around, but decided that it was a little too hot to be caching, so we retreated to some air conditioned comfort and will return another day.

We ended up logging 14 and DNF'd 1 today.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: A Smiley Badge if the cache was large enough.

Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Thanks for a quick find whilst working nearby. SL

Decided that I wanted to find at least 1 today to get my souvenir, but didn't want to go too far in the heat.

Living not too far from here and needing food, I decided to attempt this one, which the phone had me spot on GZ

A short search and the cache was found!

Area of hide a little worse off and may disappear/be replaced shortly!

After finding my preparations for the nearby PIG series were hopelessly inadequate, headed for a couple of trade instead and this one was first. As it was the period between christmas and new year, and after 5:00pm, the area of GZ was deserted so I could park right at GZ. I had the cache in hand after a very short search - I didn't notice any wrong with the cache when I was there other than the magnet has become detached bit the cache still is hidden effectively. Thanks to Deutz4544 for this one.
