Soon I hope to get to you. Interstate travel and work and the usual reasons

I’m the area picking up sone yarn from a local supplier and saw this one on the way back home.

After being spiked horrendously here looking, looking, looking, I leave disappointed and cut up in abrasions.

Another one bites the dust?

Seems like a day for DNFs was upon us. Try as we might, we attempted this one even with the hint and reading other logs we weren't able to find it:(

Probably been ruined by a muggle

I tried to do my first Whereigo at the nearby uni, but couldn't get it to work, so sallied forth in search of nearby caches instead.
A very quick find here, as the container was out in the open. After signing the log I tucked it away in a likely spot based on the hint.

This was my first cache and it was rlly fun! Did encounter a massive spider though-

got after a longish day at work

It is really quite amusing that I have found in caches in many of the exact same spots previously. I think the CO may have been using a Project GC function to view archived caches and then visiting the area armed with another small/micro cache. In any event, the cache was found quite quickly.

Found by Facitman and j-facit at 10:16
After dropping Mrs Facit off j-facit and I set off to visit the GrandFacits. A coffee and stretch of j-facit's legs were required so I selected a park based cache as a stopping spot. We visited the coffee shop near the cache and once sipping a latte I was ready to start a search. The cache was located quickly and I took your advice, sat on the nearby bench and read the history in the cache description. Caching has certainly extended my knowledge of the history of my local area, and the surrounding suburbs.
Thanks again Cherryslice88

A quick find on a walk aruond the extended area on this nice afternoon. The cache was right where we expected (after not finding it in the obvious place).
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today for without those who would hide, there is nothing for those who would find.
*Overall Experience: 3*

Cute park and nice spot to rest!
 
18-Mar-22
Out grabbing our daily cache, which led us to this cute little park. A very nice little green space that we will have to come back and explore a bit more another day.

The cache was in great shape, and the logbook was nice and dry. TFTC

Haha took way longer to find this that it should have! We drive past this park all this time so good to drop in.
 
22-May-21
Came here a few days ago, but the GPS was jumping around and there were l council workers on the road next to the cache. After doing a couple laps of the small area to see if the GPS would settle I left as there were a lot of potential hiding spots and the workers were just too close by. Tonight no one was around, but I did use the hint to narrow my search in the dark. Cache was soon in hand and signed, TFTC Cherryslice88
 
02-May-21
Nicely hidden and nice rest on the bench
 
03-Apr-21
No luck with this. GPS bouncing around quite a bit which didn't help.
Search in all the places I thought possible, but clearly not the right one.

Had to return a second time, but found it where we thought it should have been.

Cherry slice, What the, Wow Yet Another very quick find here this morning. Thanks For The Cache
 
30-Dec-20
Out to pick up a couple of caches to fill another day on the caching calendar. While there was a group of Muggles on the nature strip checking out a vehicle, and the Muggle curator preparing the cricket wicket none of them were taking any notice of us. We sat on the park bench and Mr Pooky started rummaging around and soon made the find. TFTC and bringing us to another great localish park.
 
17-Dec-20
This was one I was going to grab on my afternoon walk, but I ran out of time. So instead I grabbed it after dropping my wife off her to night shift of work. Fortunately my timing was quite good and it had not quite fallen dark, making for an easy finding and logging experience. Another cherryslice cache bites the dust. TFTC Smile

A quick find by the Chief while I struggled to get out of the car. My knees haven’t forgot Ben me for the dance class I did on Thursday!

I lived 6 months in Essex UK. Just in the verge of London which is surrounded by the M 25 Motorway( a ring of road around Greater London. 20 million people live inside the ring. So fond memories of working and exploring UK by car. You might have to look up the term “Essex Girl” at some time. Not that I met any !
Coordinates spot on here for a fairly quick find in the evening - no muggles close. Think the seat needs repairing. A little low ! Thanks CherrySlice88 for another cache. ( and A Wonder of the world I needed )
 
20-Nov-20
I walked up to this caching thinking I knew exactly what was what and where it would be. I searched here, and then there, and then here again, and then there again and then I decided that maybe it wasn't where I had decided it was and looked in the next most obvious spot and yippee! A bit embarrassing... Thanks Cherryslice88

Found @06:37 #7486
Nice spot with some sort of view and the low rubble of traffic passing. An ideal spot to enjoy a coffee but the "coffee food" shop was closed at this time so missed out. Anyway with my mark made on this one I must move on, wonder if today will be another donut day??? Fingers crossed.

Day 122 of 366 completed.

The previous cacher’s DNF is perplexing as the cache was quite exposed, hid a bit better

Out with omegaman1971 today grabbing a few caches on a Friday, just like the old days and this was one we came across in our travels. The cache was soon found after a short search around the gz, thanks Cherryslice88 for the hide.
 
22-Jun-20
Arrived just as it was threatening to rain. Just managed to sign the log and re-hide the cache as the big rain drops arrived. TFTC.
 
08-Jun-20
Got our left and rights confused but eventually figured it out. TFTC
 
03-Jun-20
I couldn’t find it because it looked old
 
23-May-20
With restrictions easing a little it was great to get out on a Saturday afternoon and grab a few caches but I still made sure not to travel too far from home and keep it sensible. After a few finds nearby I headed to this one as my next target. I don't know this area very well but as I parked the car I recalled finding another cache here several years ago. Nice and quiet around here today so I was able to hunt in peace and it didn't take too long before I got lucky and had the cache in hand. Took nothing , left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and all your placements in the area Cherryslice88.

Interesting little row of shops. Fortunately I didn't need any thing or service from them. Thanks Cherryslice88.

Out and about last night with Trailstevo. Hoped to rack up a 5-6km circuit and find a few cache along the way, and that we did. Was a fairly steady stroll and a handful of straight forward finds. With one DMF. Thanks cherryslice88 for the cache.
 
09-Feb-20

Our third find for the day and another fairly quick and easy find which is good seeing how I’m taking a 12-year-old out for the first time. Thanks for the fun
 
13-Jan-20
Out caching with Quiet1_au this warm afternoon. Q had already found this cache so it was not going to be too hard. I had not read the cache page which is just as well as I think I would have gone to the wrong end. The hiding spot was reasonably clear and soon found. Thanks Cherryslice

My family are going to get sick of me yelling “stop we just need to turn in here” on our way home from everything. Love having caches bear the roads that lead home.
Sat in the cool air and admired the quiet oh and the cache. Log signed and safely tucked away.

I had been Christmas shopping nearby and decided to find a cache on my way home so that I could have a third find for the current 3-2-1 souvenir challenge. It was déjà vu for me when I arrived at this reserve today having found a now archived cache near the corner of the park.

I parked in Essex Rd and wandered over to GZ. I quickly spotted something that looked slightly out-of-place and then found the cache. I retrieved the cache and then sat on the nearby seat to sign the log at 4:25 pm. TNLN. I then headed home for dinner.

Thanks Cherryslice88 for the well-hidden cache and for describing the interesting history of Mount Waverley.

There was a cricket game going on but luckily the cache location is out of sight of the ground. Found quickly using the hint.
Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache

*Found on the 8 Dec 2019 @ 2:35 pm.*
*Cache find # 10213.*

Another quick trad on the way home seeing that I was going right passed it.
Took a seat, looked around, spotted something and sure enough the cache was behind it.

**Thanks to Cherryslice88 for placing this cache.**

Out this way for an end-of-year function, stopped nearby for coffee and found this cleverly hidden cache while I was at it. TFTC!
