Tftc amazing find

Thank you, found it!

Found on a walk.TFTC

Maintenance check, all goodHunter

Nice one, quick find, pen out of ink!! TFTC

Too easy mate

One of many great caches today TFTC

After attending the nearby CITO and event, myself and AdamWickenton tackled the Gembrook Cockatoo Trail series on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Arrival at GZ bought us with a few options, but one obvious main beacon stood out, where the cache was shortly found. Tftc 999Hunter

Stopped to get a few quick caches on the way home after an event in Gembrook. This was a nicely hidden camoed hide. Thanks 999Hunter

Today we found Gembrook Cockatoo Trail - Gembrook Station on our travels. After the nearby CITO and snacks events we stopped off here on our way home to sign this log for the current challenge.

Thanks 999Hunter for being part of our geocaching fun.

You may have waved to passengers, we waved to a car stopped at the shut gates! Walking is much better - it gets you to the cache. Thanks for the fun and the beautifully hidden camouflaged cache.

Found it. TFTC.

Easy find

TFTC this one was very exposed but still up. I returned it a little more ‘hidden’ so as not to catch a muggles eye

Tftc forgot my pen

Puppy checked and all ok.

I had started my day in Berwick to complete the **Trusty Trees** Wherigo... and in so doing, found myself a lot closer to Gembrook than I had expected. Looking for some late lunch, I thought I would continue on to Gembrook and go to the bakery there...

After lunch, it was time to continue caching... the original plan for the day was to take a power trail beside the Monash Freeway but as that was now so far away, I decided that the **Gembrook Cockatoo Trail** would be a far better... and much more pleasant... choice.

From years of being a Guard on Puffing Billy, I had a good idea of what the terrain would be like... so I parked my car at Orchard Road and set off for pleasant stroll towards Gembrook... stopping for each cache as I came to it.

Thanks **999Hunter** for the cache... and the series.

Quick find with the GPS able to work in this location. Not many muggles around so a quick find. TFTC.

Gotcha

Went out for a walk on the miserable weather day with the wife for her birthday. So thought we would walk from gembrook to cockatoo and grab all the caches along the way. Lucky for the raincoat.

Managed to get them all but 1 which was clearly missing.

Quite a few had wet log books which made stamping them a bit hard.

Some nice hidden ones and some great ideas. Well done.

Out and about today in lovely Gembrook with my muggle partner, this was the first second of the day. Found safe and sound. TFTC

A nice quick find.
TFTC

Cool hiding spot

A fun find

So finally today was the day I got to walk this trail that's been on my list for a few months. This time around I made sure that my Geo car took me to the right suburb and not to Emerald as it did last week. I wasn't sure what to expect of this walk. But in the end it was a pleasant surprise and well worth it. GPS was sketchy at this first cache. The cache itself wasn't my senses were firing as I stepped up to stamp the log while workers nearby were building new building on the station platform.

Another tricky one. I’m learning!!!

Papi4506, OzHockeyChick and I gathered with our scooters for the day at Gembrook Cockatoo Trail. The weather is just perfect for our ride. Good hide. 999Hunter, thanks for placing the cache here

Very clever spot thank you

Wish I had lots more time to pick up a few more caches in this series. I guess a good reason to come back.

Thanks 999Hunter for the crafty hide.

*Gembrook Scout Awards Ceremony Adventure #4*
I had an awards ceremony for Scouts Victoria in Gembrook. I don't get to this side of town very often, so *of course* I'm going to pick up a few caches.
I had to stop here for a toilet break - there were hundreds of people at the ceremony, and only a few porta-loos. However, I also had to pull out a bag and do a bit of CITO... I'm guessing the train visitors aren't good at using the bins.
Thanks heaps, 999Hunter!

Took the opportunity to grab this cache whilst we were in the area for the various events over the weekend. Unfortunately, it is too wet to do any more today but we will certainly be back. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

After a very successful cito, we made our way here for a quick find, just as the heavens opened up.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, 999Hunter

I am camping out east this weekend to participate in Manfred’s birthday events and then help host the Pizza by the Campfire night. There are plenty of caches and activities on the activity list and this was one of them.

After completing the new adventure lab we swung by here to add a trad to our daily tally. A nice quick find

Thanks 999Hunter for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Deciding mid-morning today to do a cache run after visiting my old man, I thought to myself that spending the afternoon around emerald doing caching would be a great time. With the weather holding off and many of caches found over all it was a great day out.

Thanks for the caches and the lovely day out.

Almost gave up but found it in the end very well hidden TFTC

I had to pick up my son from Gilwell Park (scouts camp) so I left home early knowing that I had more of this series to find. It was a great morning to be out, and had a great time finding some caches! Clever construction and cool area, TFTC!

We decided to tackle parts of this trail today while kid free. Cache was found safe and well signed and replaced tftc.

Out on my own today enjoyinga birthday treat ABB at Gembrook . Most of this series could be done by car but I decided to do it on foot. This is my last one and now I need to return the my car. Love doing this series along this wonderful on train line. Good camo, nice easy find. Cache in excellent condition' Thanks for the caches 999Hunter

Clever hide. Picked it up and put it back not realising it was the cache.

I picked it up without realising it was a cache and then kept looking for it! Good hide!

Find number 9995 at 9:51:37 am on Monday the 13 December 2021
Out and about today just creeping up on my milestone for tomorrow. Thought I'd go for a drive through the foothills and grab a cache here and there before heading back home through some of the burbs.
The bugs are starting to get to this one, needs a dose of pyrethroid termiticide

Create hide and a very creative cache

Tftc

This was my first walk on this trail, which I thoroughly enjoyed. As I was pressed for time I only found a few of the caches here and knowingly walked straight past quite a few more. I guess I have no choice but to return!

The third and final find of this outing. Nice and easy and satisfying. TFTC

Found this last one of the series quite easily. Very clever hide. Thanks so much for a great series. Perfect for a small Geokid! She loved it!

An early start for Spiffy- and I today. We had a couple of ideas and settled on the rail trail near Cockatoo plus a few random. My hands were cold to start with but soon warmed up.

Another quick find. Log book a bit damp.

Thanks to 999Hunter for the placement and fun.

Found at 8:44 am.
Fleabag- needed to head elsewhere this afternoon so we started off the day early on the bikes. It was a bit chilly but I had my keep your hands warm but still able to use the phone gloves on so that worked out well. We headed along the whole trail from Cockatoo to Gembrook and had no DNF's which was great. On the way back we headed to a few off trail ones we had not found yet to complete a lovely morning adventure.
No problems here as we continued our lovely ride. Liking these containers. The final one on the trail, time to head back and get the ones off trail that we missed. Great trail, really enjoyed the ride.
Thanks 999Hunter for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Loved this one! Found totally by chance pretty quickly. Great spot to walk down to the station.

Tftc very sticky spot

Fun find on Saturday afternoon

Got

Found with katdogg. I actually picked up the cache without realising to clear away some pine needles. Clever hide, cheers

Dalrot found this, high muggle area but cute muggles. TFTC

Yippee All done, fantastic! thank you so much it was fabulous I really enjoyed my afternoon walk. Time to get something to eat and sit for five minutes

Found it TFTC

Out for a drive while on our Easter Holidays. We had berm following Puffing Billy along its route, stopping for photos whenever we could. Now we wanted to see it come into the station so to fill in some time before it arrived I was off to find another cache. A quick find here, even though cache was in some clever camo. Thx 999Hunter for the hide, would love to come back and find some more of this series one day!

Out and about with Omegaman1971 on a glorious day. This day I will call 20 to go till 20. It was a nice day along the trail today with plenty of bike riders to contend with.

Thanks 999Hunter for the cache.

A kid free, solo day.... the sun is shining and so I find a perfect combination to cache! I only recently discovered this series a few weeks ago when caching nearby with The Welder chasing some unlove on the plantigrade trads. With the kids at school and some free time, this was my chosen destination today. Being midweek, there is barely a soul around. Just a pair of pugs also having an adventure, appearing to have escaped from their yard. But the cache guards didn’t concern me and the hide was quickly located. Thanks for the cache.

Great camp, easy find

Found it today while riding the rail trail. Looks like Thomas has a big weekend planned at Gembrook Station.

Great cache!

Found while out caching with younger son. Clever camo. TFTC

Tftc...

I love this find!

BettyBoo3747 and I grabbed the deadly treadlies and set off across the wilds of the eastern suburbs to try the Gembrook Cockatoo Trail (and a few odd caches around the place).
It was raining in these eastern suburbs, but had cleared by the time we started the trail.

There was a railway volunteer greasing the points across the railway line, but he had no interest in us.
Nice hide to finish off this excellent series.
Thanks, Robmc.

#17721. We decided last night to go with Plan A. That is, load up the bikes and head way out east to the Gembrook-Cockatoo Trail for a ride, collect a new AdLab and also a few others on the nearby radar. We had a big breakfast at the Hairy Dog and just as we reached the rail crossing at Cockatoo on our return - Puffing Billy tootled past full of happy faces. A good way to end our ride. A fabulous day out on the trail and the scenery was great.

Rode in here and what a lovely spot it is. There was a man greasing the points so that all would be well when the train arrived a little later in the day. Much earlier we had also spied the fellows on their cart checking that the tracks were clear and safe.

We were well hidden as we found and signed the cache. I just had to ride the rest of the way through here to look at the station before we headed up the street to find a cafe.

Thanks 999Hunter

New geocache installed
Hunter

Found it great cache hider

Oh my goodness! I was digging and digging to see if it was underneath. I couldn't find it...twice I came back and didn't see it...wait...urgh, I'm so dumb sometimes.

After a nice quick find at the last spot, I moved my car to this location ready to brave the cold and walk this trail. It was a clever hide and got me excited to continue on foot to find some more today!

Thank you!

Found it. Today was very cold. The cache was hard to find because im short.

Checked and log replaced
