No sure where its flying but got it TFTC

Nice and quick park and grab by Mrs P

Been at Ballarat for the past few days. First chance I've had to get out and do some Caches. Hopefully l might get a few today. Thanks for bringing me here.

Tftc

cool

Nice easy find after a string of tough ones.

A quick find despite the rubbish. Pigs might fly has always been a favourite saying for us along with lost my marbles! Tftc.

Mothers day with Mr 24 and Miss 22

Found Tftc

Found this one fairly easy despite the good camp in the cache!! TFTC!

We found it

Heading back towards town after collecting some nearby puzzle caches so it was a good time to stop next to this one and have a look.Unfortunately, there is a lot of litter about which provided good distraction for trying to find the cache. The cache did however get found and my name is now in the log.Thanks for the cache here.

Dunno how we missed it. Got it this time

DId this one with littlecogs and before long little littlecogs was onto it.

Little littlecogs pounced on this one fairly quickly.

Needed one cache today so headed out this way to give this one a go. Took a minute or two to spot it, but all was good and the log was soon signed. Not as wet I thought it might be in there, so all good in that respect.

As for sayings...Don't count your chickens before they hatch...or in caching terms...Don't count your finds before the end of the day. That will always put the mockers on you.

Thanks for the hide Mazzymay...cache all good.

A very wet find for us today in the rain.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.

Taking my gran out for lunch in Clunes and she decided that we should find some together!

Well I left it pretty late to cache today so a cache by torch light it is! For a moment I thought this was going to be muggled, as I found a little something that kinda looked like what might have been cache camo, but nope, a quick look all around soon bought the hide to light. A few of sayings I might have used before would possibly be “wishful thinking” “not in a million years” or “like a needle in a haystack”

look at it once and missed it double checked and it was it

Nice quick find for us today!

Don't let the fallen branch deter your search. Cache and contents all good.

Picked this one up on the way home from work to keep filling in the calendar. TFTC

Despite a good proportion of a tree having spit off, we were still able to access the area and after a shirt search the well designed and hidden cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks mazzy may for the cache.

A quick-ish find here on this blistery cold morning.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, MazzyMay

Found at 11:13 am.
It was finally time to find a CITO in May and an event to help me complete another challenge I was working on as well. So a car pool with OzHockeyChick was the go and we had a great day despite the on and off rain and freezing cold wind once we got to Ballarat.
I dismissed this when I first found it but wow, that was the cache.
Thanks MazzyMay for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Well rhat was a little unexpected placement and good fun, thanks

I barely even got my feet on the ground and amadds1980 yells out I found it.

Back for a second go and found in a minute

Yay! A quick find!

Found with Roostaman on our Feb/March Vic trip down South.
Another fun caching trip and lots of smilies too. .
Thanks for the cache MazzyMay,

Found by Rebel Acts

Some good friends had decided to head to Ballarat for a few weeks so I decided I needed a break and joined them, we had a great time out caching as well as sharing stories and laughs around a meal or two. I really love the area of Ballarat there is so much history and I am sure it has the largest population of Oak trees in the Country.

This is one of the caches found today.

Some caches logged as RASP rebel acts &Ski pair.


Thanks MazzyMay for the cache.

Found with MrsRoosta on our Feb Vic trip down South.
Another fine Summer day for a drive around Ballarat.
This one is now a micro not a small.
Thanks for the cache MazzyMay,

With work encouraging us to take some holidays and Mr SKI having quite a few weeks up his sleeve it was time to take another short break and do some sightseeing and caching in parts of Victoria we seldom visit.
This time we decided it would be Ballarat. There is a wide variety of cache types and quite a number of Adventure Labs to do, so the area is quite attractive. And that doesn't include the historical and interest aspects as well.
We organized to meet up with some friends while there so we would have the opportunity to do some joint as well as solo caching.
We have already had some great adventures on a few challenging caches that generated a lot of fun and as usual always good to find some pre-solved puzzles.
All logs signed as SKI Pair, RASP (Rebel Acts & SKI Pair or SP depending on size of logs and availability of space.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache MazzyMay.

Pig is flying again.

Pigs have flown away, cache needs replacing.

Unable to locate
A lot of rubbish about so hard to tell

We stayed in Ballarat for the last night of our trip. We hoped to pick up a few multi's for a challenge we are working toward and also any others that we came across.

This one sounded like a fun cache so we came here. Unfortunately we though we knew more about where the cache was hidden than the GPS so this one took a little longer than it should have but once we believed the device it was quickly in hand and our name added to the log.
Tell him he's dreamin' from the castle would have to be our most used adynatons these days.

Many thanks again MazzyMay for another fun cache.

Nice find thanks!

Tftc. Nice a quick

A very quick find on our way around the area to clean it up with smiles tftc

Find # 8707

Heading home from a weekend in Werribee
A bit of a detour off the main road to make a quick find among the trees.

Day 225

Very easy on our way last TFTC

A weekend away to clear up a little bit more in Ballarat and surrounds.

Thanks to all the cache owners.

No grunters here.

Warning this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

Easter 2020 sees South Australia hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Check it out. We would love to see you there.

Find #150@ 4:25pm on 30/11/19 quick find on the way home from Ballarat. Very happy to get this cache since 150 was my goal for the year, and I did it with a month to spare! TFTC mazzymay

Nice hide, easy find for the kids. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC Out to find a few more

After a bit of bashing around in the undergrowth I put my hand on the container made my mark on the log and I was on my way thanks for bringing me here

Tftc

An easier find compared to the others I have found by this CO today. Enjoying the caches along this road to break up my caching day. TFTC

Fun first find for the day. Geokid found it in under a minute. The force is strong with that one.

Great spots! Prebbs

Ty

Really good hiding spot, sad that its a small box but no prize

3 for 3 today...

A pretty quick find with the kids spending ages pouring over the wrong tree while I got to sit out with a smug look on my face.

Thanks for the cache

Today was a day of mixed activities with goingplaces2, including caching, shopping and other odd jobs. We found all caches on the list, each was signed and replaced and we enjoyed the day. TFTC.

After having been into Ballarat with ilook4geo for both caching and shopping activities today, we wanted to pick up a few more caches on our way back to our camping spot. So just a few were chosen and all were found successsfully. This one was not hard to find and the signing of two more names on the log was soon completed. Thank you to MazzyMay for this cache placement.

Found this one quickly today but a super friendly earwig wasn't as happy that I had! He promptly jumped ship and let me sign log, and return back! TFTC, TNLN

I found your cache Pigs Fly Backward, on 22 March 2019 at 11:00
I ejected a family of bugs before signing the log.
That pencil looks uncomfortable.
Thank you for placing and maintaining this geocache for us to find MazzyMay.

Found it

It seems to be a MazzyMay day today. Is that a new saying? Had no trouble finding the pig flying backwards today. In fact I think he may have become stuck!
TFTC MazzyMay

Lots of noisy trucks humming past. Good find.

GPS was out lucky the Navi found it. TFTC

FTC. Time to rectify a blue face and convert to a smilie. We were due in Ballarat this afternoon for an event. We left Maryborough early so that we could cache our way down. It took 5 hours to travel to the event. We rectified a couple of blue faces and found some others caches that we had previously searched for.
Found the container on the ground. Signed log and placed container in a safer spot.

A short wander from the roadside,
and the cache was found
Though you do have to look carefully

Favourite saying ??
Hmmmm ...
... one me mum used a lot when I was younger ...
... "You won't live to see 21 !!" [:o]
I think it was meant to be a threat,
not a challenge

Firstly, apologies for the lateness in logging.
Despite my tardiness, you can be assured I enjoyed each and every cache found and not found.
Apologies if this is a generic log, my memory is good, but not that good.

On this day I was out with Sorceysal and Tessie the geodog

Thanks again MazzyMay

With a message from bogonghazy that he was free for the day, it was another opportunity to get out and about and find a few smileys.
With your reputation for nanos, we were pleasantly surprised to find a Sistema. No camo here though. Thanks Mazzymay

Camo has come off. Quick find.

We made our way through the B's & C's today starting in Ballan, Ballarat, Clunes, Creswick then back to Ballarat grabbing a variety of great caches along the way in the company of Simsfamily and Neville Devil.
I spent the rest of the day picking twigs out of my clothes after locating the cache.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache MazzyMay

Nice find

Grabbed while on the way home.
Nice quick find in the area.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Found with the family.
A nice hot day for some geocaching.
Thanks for showing us this spot and for the cache hide.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
It was fun finding this geocache.
Thanks for hiding it for us to find.

A reasonably prompt find just as we thought 'this can take a while under the canopy'. It sounds like there is a themed camo somewhere, but we missed it.
Another good Aussie expression for something that has little chance of succeeding is "Buckley's or none". (Can you tell we live in Geelong?)
Left a TB to continue its journey, surely it will be safe here for a while. Maybe it will learn to fly backwards?!

Found whilst out caching around Ballarat with SussVulture today. TFTc
S is on fire today locating the containers.

Made for a quick find! TFTC

Found it with my family TFTC

We had no trouble finding this cache at it was on the ground under a tree. We found the camo in the tree where it had fallen from and placed it back on top but is has come adrift from the top of the cache. You have made an excellent job of the camo!
TFTC MazzyMay

Pigs fly backwards if you load them into the plane with their backs to the front of the plane. Or so The Evil Muggle’s mother used to say, apparently.(I never met her, unfortunately.)
Well we found this cache with minimal fuss and it wasn’t flying in any direction. Glad we found it though.

Heading to the Parkville Mega grabbing caches along the way. TFTC

A nice quick find.

Would have to say "tell them their dreaming" from The Castle is the best.

TFTC MazzyMay no dreaming today.

Made a quick find here. hoping not to be seen by muggles on the main road. TFTC.

Tftc nice quick find before attending GIFF

Found the piggy! Nice cache!

Found with sambo, pretty easy find, thanks

We are starting to expect that MazzyMay's cache hides will all be devious, it is a pleasure when we find one of them quire smartly. SL TFTC

Good find

Our second fling for the day. Liv - 1, Dave - 1. TFTC

Excellent cache! Really enjoyed looking for this with ShortStop00! TFTC!

TFTC

A quick find here thanks MazzyMay.

We stopped here quickly on the way to getting take out for dinner. Nice quick grab

We found this little piggy sitting nicely high and dry in his sty, out of the cold wind. It would have been perfect weather if it wasn't for that wind. TFTC MazzyMay.

Found today with the kids on the way to soccer to get our International Geocaching Day cache! Looking, looking, looking. Ooh not where I expected! Finally saw it! Many thanks for the cache.

Found. It took a little while to spot this one, but not as long as I thought it might. Replaced and then on to the next one. TFTC

With only a day to spend caching it was all go from very early morning. I almost made it out of the house without Mazzy but she wasn't going to miss out on the entertainment and a chance to have a giggle ...now - try not to make too poor a showing of finding a well hidden....?? ...nope, found it easily cos its out of its hidey hole. That was lucky for me!! To bad for the next finder, Mazzy put it back and now it really is well hidden again. Thanks Mazzy

A nice quick and easy find on a cold and blustery afternoon.
