Following the nearby Cito and BBQ this morning Rebel Acts and I headed out for a cache or two before heading home..this was a random cache stop along the way to grab another cache..FYI...Don't look behind the tree ...
After attending a couple of events in the Dandenongs it was off to turn a few caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today. Found the hint rather misleading, it was nowhere near a gum. Behind one of the gums there was a pile of human wastes, looks like whoever is living in that van uses this spot as there toilet.Thanks Mincka for the cache.
Took a quick detour after walking the old Olinda golf course. Nice quick find. Cheers
Did not take us too long to find this lovely sized cache.Nice park and grab.TFTC. All good here.
On a visit to the Dandenongs we came across this cache, and dropped in a travel bug! TFTC.
It was pouring with rain so luckily for me I found and signed the cache quickly.
A day out with mum to visit the nearby gardens wouldn't have been complete without a quick find. thank you
Last one for todays arvo stroll. Log book a bit damp but signable. Thanks for a great series Mincka.
Thanks for the cache Mincka, I found this one last week and forgot to log. I have been doing small sections of the Dandenongs lately, ticking off some more caches. It's a good way of getting to know an area. Will come back with my Wife come spring, and look over the Botanical Gardens, and perhaps get the Cache on the inside of the fence (a free drop). I was going to squeeze under the fence where a wombat had made, but a Muggle and her muggle hounds were too close.

Was able to swoop in quickly with a fast find and out again before anyone noticed me. TFTC
Over from NZ for a weeks holiday and with not such good weather today, planned on using the cache mobile for a trip out Dandenong way.
This virtuals here were our main target but the odd trad wouldn't be overlooked as well if the weather played ball. This one took longer than it should have but was obvious once I was in the right location. TFTC

I stopped by here while on the way home from today's bushwalk in Sherbrooke Forest. A nice quick find at 16:10 and I was soon on my way.
TNLNSL. Thanks Mincka.

Having failed miserably at my last hunt just down the road, I moved on to this cache, hoping for a change of fortunes... after all it's a *regular* sized cache so how hard could that be to find. Not hard at all as it turned out!
Thanks **Mincka** for the cache.

Today I was on a mission to find caches that I needed to finish my 360 degrees from home (5 degrees in total) and I had three dates required of when caches were placed - to find. Finding caches that Bunadoorian hadn't found previously added to the complexity.
Wednesdays have recently become our morning tea out with friends - but as they have just left for a road trip with their caravan to WA we came exploring before stopping for our morning tea.
This was our tenth find today and my fourth degree - 121-122 degree. I found this cache first. I loved the painted water tanks near by. TFTC and for bringing us here Mincka. Now off to get some lunch in Olinda.

A nice area to hide a cache, especially today as there didn't seem to be anybody else around. After a very short search Grub62 found the cache. All was in good condition. TFTC.
Up super early this morning to get two iTEEM members to work at the nearby lavender farm by 0600.
I had a couple of DNFed caches to avenge, but I decided to take the scenic route and search out a few others along the way.
After an assisted solve on one of the nearby multis, and no replies to my messages about the other, I headed up here to find this one.
After the last epic, this was a nice straightforward find, well placed in this little outcrop.
Signed the nice dry log and reset with the natural camo.

Rain held off for a last quick find on the walk out of Olinda Golf Course this cup day. I grew up around here but never visited. Thanks.
The little bunny wanted to make this find today so we let him lead the way. Most of the traffic was heading down the mountain by this time. Still a couple swaps left in the container which area always appreciate by the little cachers. TFTC
After avenging a nearby DNF, the plan was to tackle the Olinda series next. Parking close to this cache, it didn’t take us too long to make connection between the cache name and the location.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Mincka.

Saw the old fossils chilling, we played a game of rock bingo, good times. Tftc Mincka!
My first cache in quite a while (for no particular reason).
A nice easy early morning find to the sound of screeching cockatoos. TFTC

This was a nice find. Loved the hiding spot but got some prickly stuff on our legs whilst looking for it.
I was attempting to find a cache nearby, however, I underestimated how quickly the sun was setting up in the hills. As I approached the trail head I decided that my tiny torch wasn't a match for the darkness this forest was capable of. So I searched for nearby park and grab to keep my daily streak alive and this one popped up. The dogs and I jumped out of the car and found the cache quickly, although it seems we went through some unnecessary burrs to get there. Afterwards I took them for a quick walk along the track near the road. As we got close to the zebra crossing the lights in all the streetlamps began to flicker at an eerie rate and I was worried I was about to get kidnapped or abducted by aliens. Thankfully neither happened and we headed back to the safety of our vehicle without any hiccups.
Thanks for the cache!

A great little Park-and-Grab.
Log book is a little moist, but still writable. Gave it a quick bathe in the sun to dry it out some.

Heading off to do a series of caches today ... decided to tackle this set as we are staying close by ... #9 today ... TFTC
Love it Mincka. Maybe a case of under rather than off their rockers. In good condition.
Searched all around the giant, then spotted another likely location. Bingo!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Mincka

A quick find. Found to the chill out beats of the disco music coming from the outdoor pool nearby. A misty moist morning.
