We find ourselves still not home so that must mean there is more time to search for caches. This was a quick find although we did have a curious muggle so hope the cache is still safe. Thanks for placing it here.

A nice and easy find here

Today was a big day again of caching, making my way from Adelaide to Tasmania. Today I started in Ballarat and headed into Melbourne, woodland reserve was on the cards and the aim was to finish it off, unfortunately the bottom paddock was closed so I’ll be back once again. Overall 78 caches for the day.
