Found the remnants of the cache but unfortunately it looks like it's been wrecked by someone. The note about the game and the outer part are all that remains.
Unfortunately, the cache seems to have been vandalised. Only parts of the cache remain.
Thank you to the last finder for noting the damage to the geocache; I'll endeavour to head over there to repair it ASAP
That was a quick and easyish grab. Trying to hide from the family or two of muggles just there at the park. Tftc
Clever hide. A quick find. Lovely new estate....although the canine grapevine was running hot. TFTC
On such a windy and cloudy day I didn't want to spend too long looking as rain was on the forecast. The first thing I checked was the cache and it was wet, wet enough that I didn't try to sign. Is for sure clever camo if I wasn't geocaching I wouldn't of looked at it twice.

GPS was like an angry wasp, that is all over the place. Spied something that seemed out of place and that's where it was (sorry it was well camouflaged, but I'd just found something similar in Sale).Tftc
This would maybe be the most common cache name I know of. Usually it's a rock. Or between them. This was one of the two. It was a nice little suburban spot and a bold hide. Thanks!
On a recent tour of the area we dropped by this small reserve and found the well disguised container.
Thanks Mummy Short Legs for the creativity in this hide.
Chiefton!!!

Thanks Mummy Short Legs for setting up this cache in this spot. The wetland area is so full of life. I was surprised to see a pair of black swans with their cygnets. Fun cache placement - glad it hadn't started to rain while I was scratching around at GZ .
PS: The Troll Dolls (TN6TR0) were with me on my caching adventures today.

A quick find whilst travelling home. An opportunity to break up the drive. Thanks for the placement Mummyshortlegs.
Found this one with my son Buffalo Briggzie.

Thank you for the cache.

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so I decided to head out for a day out of the house and a nice walk along the TCT trail, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves, sanitizer and mask I ventured out, I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. So under I go retrieved the cache and guess what, left My pen in the car so I had to climb under here twice. Note to self make sure you have the pen.
Thanks Mummy Short Legs for the cache.

Strange but truecache retrieved by geo kiddo, hilarious trying to look inconspicuous. Love this one, cool find. Tftc
This looks like it is going to be a lovely little park for all the new houses going in. Lots of workmen around but all far enough away not to notice me.
Fortunately the rain has stopped and after a look around, I found this well hidden cache in the first place I looked. Wasn't the most elegant exit, but survived.

After reading the description on this one I was intrigued and had to stop by on our way home from our holidays. I had GZ located and luckily there was no water. I had to do some flexing but got where I needed to be. I was a bit stumped at first but after finding the very well camo'ed hide I had the cache in hand. Signed and replaced. I love these type of caches where the CO has done a bit of creativity for the cache hide. We think it deserves a fav point for the hide. We'll done! TFTC!
Clever camo, which we retrieved fairly quickly! Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC
It took a little crawling round. My GPS is always a little unreliable, but once in the area the cache jumped out at me. It didn't make sense that should be there and be so clean. Cache was found in good condition. Tf5c
After having the car serviced nearby, a bit of spare time was available before i had to head back home to Warragul, so why not a few local caches to be found. The title had me at the GZ pretty quickly and then the do it yourself chiropractic session was in order to locate the cache. A neat bit of construction soon had me holding the log book and after signing the log whilst contorted across assorted rocks, everything was replaced as found and I extricated myself to continue along my way. Thanks Mummy Short Legs for the workout.
We ride/walk around this lake almost everyday and now we are back into geocaching have just realised how many cache’s are around our local area! This cache was a lot of fun! Lucky Mr 9yo is on the ball and found this is no time! TNLN. TFTC ️
The smallest of our sedge was desperate to go to the park, and given I had just upgraded to 'premium' for this particular outing, I had just the park in mind! A quick find (I may have had a prior tip-off) but a great one, my eldest took a souvenir and also left one.
Are you jking me, one rolled ankle coming right up, thanks for the cache tho!
Camped at Gormandale after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. Eighth for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. Favorite point for the construction. To the CO, we enjoyed your logs and found them useful when doing the Gifford Road series yesterday. TFTC
Hi there Mummy Short Legs.
We are leaving the Latrobe Valley tomorrow, so our caching run today concentrated on trading as many travel bugs as we could. We managed to log 8, which we will distribute somewhere in SA or WA.
All up we found 5 caches & DNF'd 0 in this cache run. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander our way around Australia.
**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:** Smiley and Coles Mini.
**Trackables:** 1 in, 2 out
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Construction is complete and the cache is back in place, a couple of travellers are cosy inside it after coming home with me from the Parkville MEGA event.
Checked on the cache today after the DNFs, it's missing. Will replace soon.
Well the name certainly says it all! Being where I figured I needed to be, I soon spotted this clever piece of camo, thankfully I saw it as my first option. This is a lovely little lake that should be popular with locals.
Thanks to Mummy Short Legs for placing this cache.

A dismal day to be out and about caching, but the things you do for a few souvenirs for the Planetry Pursuit. Doing it the hard way by chasing mainly traditionals, but location predicts the caches we have available.
A day spent between Traralgon and Moe with a couple of finds in Morwell included. The rain kept us on our toes as we moved from cache to cache.
Thanks to the respective CO's for the placements on the caches we found today.

**# 20315** Found on a fine day out with Ski Pair while staying nearby.
Quite a few muggles around today and a good variety of hides.
Also a few tricky hides and a few evil ones. [:(!]
An excellent cache and a favourite point from me.

Today was our second day out caching with our good friend Roostaman in the Traralgon area. It was a good chance for us to chase up a range of more recent caches we have not got round to looking for during our time home and also follow up on a few more puzzles we have managed to solve but not finished.
This was our first for the morning.
There was some creaking and groaning from two old farts as we began the search for this one. Not the usual type of hide we were expecting so good to see some creative thinking which always creates interest. Well done.
There was then a short arguments with the Roosta as to whether we walked from our current parking place or drove closer to the next one. We walked but I was proven to be wrong and am still hearing about it late in the day while working on logs.
Thanks for a new idea. TNLN

Found with kryslazz and geokids. My first find for the day. I thought I’d leave a travel bug here for the next person to take him on his travels.. TFTC
With J1 spotting for muggles, J2 and H were being very quiet whilst a muggle and dog walked by. Cache found great hide.

Son found it was feeling very proud of himself glad i had him with me great hide
Wow lucky I'm a little person and it's raining today anyway!! Great container tftc
Great little find, not too difficult. However, a very clever hiding spot that could be easily missed if your not careful.. Well done to the cacher that his this one. Don't wear shorts!!
Having a lovely picnic in the park with our grandchildren. A great hide. Did a swap. TFTC
Great cache! Looked for this one a few times, either too much muggle traffic or uncooperative little buddies with me. Signed and left swag item. TFTC
Back in place with a replacement log. Thanks to a previous finder for updating me on the need for maintenance.
Found easily as the cache container wasn't where I think it should have been. Will message the CO to have a look. TNLN TFTC
What a mission!
Found wearing thongs, haha! Not the best footwear but I still found it! Cache Ninja! Hehe.
Nice hide. Tftc!

Collecting the TB that's arrived here whilst checking on the cache - all is in good order, thanks to all who wrote lovely little notes in the log. They make a cache owner's day!
