Family Tree Series #2 - Hit for a six Drouin, Victoria, Australia
By leaskye on 24-Jun-16. Waypoint GC6KGPM

In the time I have placed this cache, it has been muggled three times. It defeats the purpose of placing them if, as a cache owner, I can not see the history of names who have visited, on the physical log. Thankyou

Found while at the park log and contents very wet couldn't sign

After a while you find thank goodness

Good hide but wet

Good hide found with The Big Os

Quick trip to Drouin for work. Found on the way out. Thanks.

Yum

signed

Found eventually, TFTC

Love the tricky little hiding spot!

Away for the weekend with omegaman and Happy pants, signing the logs under the team name HHO. Up early and on the road, grabbing a few caches before leaving town. No muggles about this morning, so it allowed for a good search. Certainly had to get it at the right angle.

Thanks leaskye for placing the cache for us to find.

Thanks this one was to easy. But we still had fun finding it. Eat the green ones.

Found today at 2:25pm. Thanks from D, H & A B-A.

Nice abmnd easy

Fun swaps in this one for the kids.

Nice one

After an initial bush bash that was not really necessary, found in good condition and log signed. TFTC leaskye. On to the next one in the series

Second time lucky. First time wasn't game to fossick in the grass. Second time, eyeballed it and took the road less travelled.
Thank you.

Was a fun one

I was going to have to travel to Drouin to collect my CWA branch's entries in the Craft exhibition (yay we won prizes!!), and as Kato Potato is not only a member of my CWA branch but also my bestest caching buddy, I asked if she wanted to tag along and cache after.
First, we chose the obvious path and came up empty handed. The compass pointed over there. So I dodged the long grass, followed a geotrail and spotted obvious camo. Penless, I chucked the cache to pen-full Kato who signed and then threw it back. TFTC leaskye

On a lovely excursion to Drouin with Mummy Short Legs to visit the CWA Creative Arts Exhibition (and collect our prizes) this afternoon and of course we took the opportunity to pick up a few local caches too.
Once again another location with a fair few random muggles around given that no organised sport was on. I do believe the cool change has helped everyone rediscover their energy! MSL certainly bounded to GZ and had the cache in hand before I finished reading the description. The container was tossed to me for the signed and bowled back across the divide into the hands of the keeper for return to its spot. Thanks for the cache leaskye

Tftc. About 10 years ago I brought my son to this ground for some Gippy Power training. About 5 years before that I came with some umpires to participate in the underpants derby! 4 x 400m team event at night, running in your budgie smugglers only! Not a pretty sight for most of us.

Another Mrs.K spied before I got to .
Signed logbook Kingfisherau 3/02/2018, 2:21 PM and replaced all as found,

2 X TB Visit.

Got with the clue otherwise was way off. Found with Jacif

Found with alishawahl. TFTH

Today I was heading back to Melbourne airport from Warragul and had time to find a few caches along the way. The last few days had been very moderate in temperature but today Victoria turned up the thermostat and I think it hit about 36C. I managed to survive the heat and not encounter any dangerous critters as well. Found this one nice and quick with the help of the hint. TFTC, Biggles.

Great spot. Cheers to the family that set these up.

MY 500th cache!!!! Yippee. Great spot. Tftc

Great spot! Not easy trying to look inconspicuous but managed. TFTC

Another Geogirl find and our last of this series.

I spent 20 min looking in the wrong place, then I walked past it like 40 times and it wasn't even that well hidden. Blue is my new best friend

It made me go blue spotty

Look in a few different ways to find

Well wrong name on log book. Signed and found with The Swaggies at 22 September 2017 2:00 pm find no 1584

Out with Yorsys today. Find 5594 at 2:05 pm. Found cache ok but the log book says "Hit for a six". Still a find is a find.
TFTC leaskye

Found it

Second attempt and still couldn't locate

Look three times did not font please give hint and thank you if you do

Found on a sunny winters day!

Easy drive by thanks for the cache

Found with gwd.aussie and mezza74. GPS had me a little off from where gwd.aussie found the cache - thank god for geo-trails.

Thanks leaskye

Found while out caching with gwd.aussie and d@geo.

TFTC.

In the end we used the Geo trail to find the cache.
out caching with Mezza74 & D@geo
Thank you for the hide leaskye

Was at the spot only found blue paint on tree

Again couldn't find

Nice little find while walking the geodog.

After reading some others comments was relief not in with the cows

Easiest one I've ever found!
You don't need to go on the property

TFTC.

Easy to see once you find it, not hidden underneath the scrub, works in the area haven't affected this cache

Found it. Nice

Way to easy.. Seen it 10 metres off

Nice find

Yay, we found it. We found it uncovered so have covered it up with bark

We found it and covered it up again

Easy find as cache was uncovered. Tried to conceal it again.

We took some backroads to this cache, an opportunity to enjoy an unfamiliar part of town. We noticed lots of caravan chook houses in the nearby paddock. We always enjoy caches that highlight local areas and enjoyed the logbook idea. Thanks for the cache Leaskye.

Found 31/1/17. jocada13 & berrybear

Finally found a time when cricket wasn't on!! A quick pickup. Tftc

Nice easy one. 6 and out I'd say.

Done but the log is a little wet might need replacing

Lead us round and round. Cache and contents were open and spread around a bit, but tidied it all up and covered.

Nice easy find tftc found with apple460

Nice hint lovely day to be out and about

I was way off for this one but hubby went straight to it after I told him the hint. TFTC

after ten mins of searching we were going to give up when the ArnupFamily final found it. The coordinates were 19 m of TFTC;)

Out with SAawsome. We found the coordinates to be about 19 meters out. Not sure what's going on given recent log indicated coordinates had been updated.

Today was a fun day - the kids and I went on a "treasure hunt" for geocaches in the local area. This was find #3 for the day, and a nice quick one. Coordinates appear to be correct now, but the container still has a bit of water in it. My daughter took 2x 10c coins, and left 50c and 20c coins in their place. TFTC leaskye

Found 2 of this series. Tftc

Coordinates changed from:
S 38° 08.233 E 145° 50.555

Coordinates changed to:
S 38° 08.224 E 145° 50.551

Distance from original: 59.5 feet or 18.1 meters.
Apologies for the more challenging find due to co-ordinates being out by 20m. I believe this has now been rectified. Happy hunting.

Coords were a little off today, had me searching further down than I had to be at first but after expanding the search area the cache was soon found in an obvious caching spot. The container had some water in it but the log was still dry to sign. Found with Lilmissgeo. TFTC!

Quick u turn and we were where we needed to be. Gz appears to be out by 22 metres also as stated in previous logs.
Container was also water logged we did tip out the water maybe with current rains a newer water proof container is needed. Tftc with geodude#74

.

I think this one has been tampered with

This one was found after a fair bit of searching and found to be 22 metres away from posted coordinates and possibly why DNF's are being logged.

We found the cache in good condition.

Thanks for the placement leaskye.

Co-ords were out by about 20+ mts but didn't take too long to locate, sign and return. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Came back to have another look co ords are out by about 15 meters might check and and update new ones. Sl thanks for the cache.

With the gps out somewhat and bouncing allover we decided to put it away and use the hit. With the 2nd one of the series found, we're off to find the rest... Tftc

The hint came into the search as today it was 15mts out ,it took longer than it should have
at least it got the little brain to work a bit harder. Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it.
Thanks leaskye FTC

On a Saturday arvo trip with ceebee2013 to Drouin area to hopefully find eleven caches we had not previously logged. 2nd find. TFTC.

09/07/2016 - 2.50pm - No. 603 - 2nd for the day - with dgfb33.
Another sunny winters day had us out & about enjoying the weather & a bit of geocaching, luckily the fog was only in the hills between home & here. This was the second cache we planned to find & find it we did after a slightly longer search that it should have been. Started looking in the wrong spot due to a bit of number transposition & wandering finding device indication but we didn't realise for a start as the area we were searching looked like others had done the same thing. [:/] Eventually the penny dropped & we headed for the proper spot & find, sign & return to it's spot was achieved. Quite a lot of passing traffic at this location. Cache still looking nice & brand new. Thanks for the cache.

Workman working right across from gz so will come back another day.
