Easy find bit hard to reach

Tftc!

Super fun location for my 5-year-old!

On our annual holiday in Cape Patterson. With a quick visit to leongatha for an appointment and find a few caches this was nice quick easy find TFTC

Maintenance run, all good

It was a bit easy. Thanks for the find!

Found it

Nice spot. TFTC!

Out visiting the area. Why not find some caches. Great locations. Thanks for placing the cache.

A quick find with icw. Tftc.

I like these, interesting but easy, there too. TFTC

Cool hide, hade to make giant chop sticks to grab it

Quick and easy find, another park and grab. Our first of the gatha playground series. TFTC

While staying in Inverloch for a couple of days, we ventured out to Leongatha to pick up a few. Started this series, but now noticed a couple of letters disappeared. Nice easy find exploring all these parks in Leongatha cache quite exposed but left covered. Thanks for the series.

A very nice quick find.
Definitely not playground weather, so no muggles to contend with.

Forgot to mention that snails are eating the logbook. You will need to keep an eye on this.

Our final cache for the day, a lovely spot where the 5 children resisted their built up fatigue from the afternoon of caching and had one final flurry on this playground. The only three left interested in caching set off to sign our final log for the day in an obvious location. TFTC!

A final cache for Team Gruidae and Team Spider's adventures and I was stunned to see what this park has become. It was a metal menace back in my childhood, full of out-dated equipment that was always a little broken and hazardous. The weather was spectacular, our time here was delightful until cut short by a child needing to visit the facilities elsewhere. TFTC Stammily!

All is good here

Found in not such good condition. CO was messaged.

A hot weekend, so day1976 and I headed to a river and waterfall to camp near. The next day we drive the long drive through the plantations to find more caches, and then out into civilisation.
After lunch we continued caching.
Found open inside hiding spot. Messaged Co.

Nice little cache, left some sticker packs.

After a month long hiatus we were back in the game today! We met up with our good friend Rebel Acts once again after spending some 5 months north in NSW and Queensland. Catching up on things round home and grandchildren had kept us grounded for some time since arriving home.
It was great to be out and about again and the banter and laughs are always a bonus.
There were a few great hides and caches were in surprisingly good condition despite the recent weather. Well done to the COs'
We ran into kbucky and Tiz13 while having lunch in a cafe in Leongatha which was an added bonus on a great day.

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

Quick find. Heading round to get a few smiles on this rainy arvo. Tftc

Nice easy one with the kids. Great game of hide and seek around the trees too!

Easy find! Took and left a swapable

Nice quick find. TFTC

super easy find

My day started in Cowes (with a find on "Edward") and progressed down to Tarwin Lower before heading over here to Leongatha.
Sadly one DNF on my way through.
Finished now and about to head back to town so time for a second find for the day.
Also the second find in this series which I only recently discovered.
With number 1 found earlier in the week it was time to look for this one.
I'm trying to find them all in numerical order.
A quick and easy, park and grab here at lunch time on a near perfect Winter's day.

Surprisingly I had the entire park to myself (which is a good thing) and the cache was soon in hand.
***All good here at GZ. Signed and replaced just as the neighbour's dog discovered me.
My that was a loud hello!***

Mr 12 went alone to find this one while the rest of us played on the swings. Nice park, good playground.

Quick find
TFTC

First one for the day with mrx2 and doeraeme!

We had a great afternoon exploring our local parks, so nice to see so many well looked after and up to date places for kids to play.

Hidden in plain sight this one, great cache with swaps

Kids are having fun in the rain. Photo attached.

Nice and quick find

As we approached GZ, we were greeted by a rather large dog judging by the barking. The cache was quickly found so we didn't need to hang around too long so we don't believe that we attracted any muggles. Thanks for the cache.

Find 2868
A short stroll over to GZ from our park. Cache was quickly located in good condition.
Log signed , clue noted and back safe again.
Thanks Stammily for your hidden spots in playgrounds away from kids actual play equipment. No muggles at all today as it was probably too wet.

Found by David in company with pprass at 14:15. Mary and cprass took the day off to check out the local shops. A quick find of a cunningly disguised cache. Our thanks to Stammily.

Found at 2:16 PM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob.
The rain has eased off and believe it or not it is becoming a bit humid. Lots of bird noises around here and a lovely walk to the cache and back
Thanks Stammily.

Easy...almost too easy! TFTC!

The easing of Covid19 travel restrictions, gave us the perfect opportunity to team up with Suscoe and spend a couple of days caching in sunny South Gippsland, including this find on our mostly "Gatha Day"
We were surprised at the number of interesting playgrounds around town.

Thanks Stammily for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Suscoe and Phetlern were caching in the Leongatha area today.
It was a delightful day with plenty of sunshine.
We enjoyed finding a range of caches in a variety of locations.

Thanks to Stammily for this hide, we were enjoying the playgrounds around this lovely town.

We’re in Leongatha for another afternoon session of geocaching. More bus stops and playgrounds and anything we’ve got time for. This cache was a shortish walk from the road past a well developed plantation of Blue Gums. We ignored the playground for the grown ups play equipment here at GZ. Nicely hidden with something a little unusual I found the well protected cache complete with all things needed in excellent condition. Almost back to the car and I realised I hadn’t got the required information for the final, so back down to the cache! It was just as well I went back.

Number 5 for us… half way there!

Log replaced

Found with Hearse068 on a day out caching around town. OMG I’ve nearly forgot what to do it’s been that long been drinks so to speak. We had lots of fun hanging out like we use to. Thank you so much for taking the time to place this cache it was very enjoyable. TFTC

Signed the thing that what was inside. There is no logbook to sign the thing we signed it as GF07 and H068

10 May 2021 11:31 am Out and about caching with Gonefishen07. It's been way too long between caches.
We signed what was inside the cache as there is no log book. Thanks Stammily for the cache.

Maintenance run, all ready to be found

Nice shady park on a hot day

A trip down to Fish Creek for a few days.
I was a bit early, so stopped for a few on the way after I was out of the Big Smoke.

Another empty playground. I didn't expect this in school holidays. Nice to see though.
A nice walk thru this small park to GZ.
Thanks, Robmc.

While in Leongatha just had to collect some caches and decided to target this fun series as I checked out the town. Unfortunately ran out of time before completing this personal challenge TFTC Stammily

Didn't get time to even look around here as the rain & winds have attacked me here very quickly signed and replaced...TFTC stammilys

Easy find

A nice park to stop and eat my strawberries and blueberries. I’m not sure why the kids weren’t at school however I just waited until they rode away to approach. This cache was in pristine condition. Thanks for the cache

Thought it about time we had a go at some of the newer local hides. Today was a perfect day for it. Another quick find for us.

??

Tassie expat and I saw this series had come up and made the (regional) drive up to make a day of it. A quick park and walk, the coords were accurate. Thanks.

Out with frmen1 on our COVID restrictions observed geo-hunt. Our plan was to target this series for today and that will leave the rest of Leo for another day. I'd been to this park before for a cache many moons ago. This was far from prying eyes, unlike the cache of old. Found very quickly. TFTC

The weather was looking good and I needed to get out of the house, with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I headed out to explore Kurumburra and Leongatha armed with My mask and Sanitizer, I had a great day exploring the region, this is one of the caches I found today. I was glad that most of these were far enough away from the playgrounds, some great hides.

Thanks Stammily for the cache.

Not the best day to be out, but I couldn't resist found it. TFTC

Nice find on this windy day here! TFTC

FTF WITH KBUCKY
Dad and I were off to get some
FTFS today. We didn't want to hog all 11 of them,so we weren't sure if we would get them all or just couple. When we arrived at the first cache we happened to bumb into KBUCKY who was also out to get some FTFS. So when dad went back to work KBUCKY took me on a mission to get all 11 FTFS in then the end 11 joint FTFS
Awsome park series from Stamily

Ftf with skunk junior (skunk028). Wow, what a day! Starting the day painting window frames but saw there were many new gc’s in town. So I dropped everything and bolted to McIndoe Park with skunk028 arriving at the same time. Decided to join forces and ended up exploring Leongatha’s playgrounds with the best geocaching company. Congrats to Stammily for a fabulous gc marathon with lots of creative, fun, some challenging, hides. Your effort and imagination is greatly appreciated. A quick find this one.
