Ah so didn't download to offline and left GPS in car - so left with very little to go on. sorry but did not find today. There has been a lot of debris removal in the area. tftc anyway de ja vu
Great cache! It took us a while but we eventually had our hands on the prize! TFTC!
Rainy day but good for avoiding our slithery friends. Especially good as my kids are clambering all over the place looking for geocache! Nicely hidden thanks!
Find #12 out of 15 today. Found at 1.20 pm.
We started the day with completing the tour around Neerim as part of the Neerim District Adventure Lab. After completing that, we had decided to walk the Crossover to Rokeby trail today as well as do any other cache we could find along the way.
This one was fairly easy - although in our first attempt we went too far along the path. Then stopped, regrouped, looked at the photo a bit more carefully to identify which tree the drop bear used to inhabit and then found the cache soon after.
Today was a very successful day. The most caches we have ever found in a single day to date - even more that we would have thought as the Adventure Lab checkpoints are counted as individual finds. Gives us a new target to aim for in the future!!

The clues to this one had me in a Tiz...then I saw it and thought surely not...I have learnt if it looks worthy then search.... awesome hide.
Great hiding spot. The log is getting damp despite being inside plastic bag. TFTC
We were on a morning walk after a Christmas party in Warragul. looking forward to the rest! Sorry for the late log. Found with aqau. Thanks, de ja vu
Thanks deja vu, this is one I missed last time when I was in the area, it's amazing what a fresh mind and different point of view is able to achieve. The hide is looking wonderful. regards from Vic.
Oooh, I LIKED this one! Here, have a favourite point! Thank you for an interesting hide!
Wow!!! Great cammo! A little clue lead me to the hide. A point for creativity!
Missed this one on the way down but it was an easy find on the way back despite passing Vic another cacher who said he couldn't find this one.

Very nifty hide. Name of the cache had us looking for something else when Jimmytherat spotted something out of place. Gets a fav! TFTC
TFTC de ja vu. Not sure about the cache name but a fav for effort and blend into surrounds. Jimmytherat with Noelle04
This was a amazing find so well hidden. Watch the bull ants on the trees but is ok as you don’t really have to touch the tree didn’t see the drop bear today so we left one behind

TFTCWhat better activity to do when you're socially isolating due to COVID-19 and have had your plans to see Cirque du soleil have been cancelled but go for a scenic stroll to collect a few caches?
A second find got the day. Had to read a few past logs to get a fix on this one, so well adapted to the surrounds it was. Not a drop bear in sight today unfortunately. TFTC

8th of 12 finds for Loose Unit and me today. Nice to find this one, after missing it the last time. Sneaky hide! I was distracted keeping a lookout along the limb, allowing LU time to discover the location before the dropbear returned. TFTC
2nd DFI today. We'll be back. Had trouble with the signal here, so shall download for offline I think
Drop Bears must have been snoozing, walked around and over this hide a few times , Giraffe legs found it,, loved the workmanship on this one
We did the Hallam Valley trail this morning and then a quick stopover in Drouin to BBQ some sausages before heading up to this trail. Fortunately, I had kitted the team up with vegemite, and we smeared it across our noses and behind our ear. (Basic survival skills taught in early kindergarten in Australia). Venturing into the undergrowth we discovered the cache. The good news for everyone was that the drop bear had obviously caught our scent of vegemite and had scrambled. A good day indeed.
Onwards along the trail for me, milljrh, abthings and aniakinga... Having five people to search made light work of this one, with N discovering this neat little hide first. A good one for our newbies to see! Luckily no lurking drop bears. All signed and back in place - TFTC.
