Thanks for my first find!, awsome hiding spot, but in trying to get the paper out the bottom black bit flew into the grass down the steps, i am incredibly sorry, i have hidden it back in its spot though and i belive it will be fine, i have been tryng for 30 minutes to find the bit that went missing, the paper is fine though

A new cache needs to be purchased and installed in situ before this can go live again. We anticipate a couple of weeks to allow for replacement to arrive.

Great hide, beautiful spot!!!

Found it with rex46 on 16/9:/24

With dot558 prior to going squares dancingThanks for the smile and maintaining the cachr

New cache log installed ready for more finders!

Where is it

Found! No room to write on

Thanks!

GEOCACHE #341 (18/08/2024)

Saw this on the map on my way home from picking up an impulse marketplace purchase. As I pulled in I realised wait a minute- I found this one last year! I must not have logged it I filmed my "finding" process to show people how cool caching is (I'm yet to convince people that I'm cool). Sad that I didn't get a quick find on the way home but happy I've already found it

Good hiding spot, might need new paper, bit wet

Thanks

Great hide

So hard I found it in time before I gave up

2nd attempt look better at the location and realised it definitely wasnt where i thought it was

Couldnt find it first time caching and then he hint steady thing doesnt help me I assumed it was among the rocks

DNF

Well, it really is still there and in good condition. Very sneaky!

What a beautiful location for a cache . TFTC

TFTC - The return to our geocaching journey and our first in Victoria. We couldnt have done it without reading the comments. Great little find and it reignited our geocache spark. Thank you!

TFTC clever hide

Good little find! Read some of the comments before and found it quickly

Me and the wife spent about 20 minutes checking every feasible spot we could think of, and the ants almost got away with it too. Tftc!

First time finding a geocache. That was fun

Took us a lot longer than expected but found it in the end! Our first cache ever so totally forgot to bring a pen whoops.

Didn't find it on the first try, came back a week later after reading some comments and had a good think and found it pretty quickly on the 2nd attempt. Great hiding spot!! Kids loved it! Thankyou.

*Found on the 4 Jan 2024 @ 12:21pm.**Cache find # 15447.* I was down this way for other reasons but seeing I was and I had a bit of time, I decided to have a look for a few caches that I would normally pass on by.I headed over to GZ and after having a look of the area, figured that there were only 3 places this one could be, it wasnt at the first one but it was at the second.**Thanks to RyleighBFamilyof3 for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

A fairly quick stop here with +Wife and EveTheStaffy today.An interesting artwork overlooking GZ and the Acacia Wetlands.It only took a few minutes to narrow down the final location. We have only found a couple of hides similar to this one. *Added to our list of favorites.*

Found it , excellent, took a little while, but eventually, we found this well hidden little fellow. Nice area. Tftc

After a short search I had an aha moment and the cache was soon in hand. A clever placement RyleighBFamilyof3 thanks!

I headed out today with the goal of completing the hard Teamwork Makes the Dream Work Wheel of Challenges souvenir and that goal was achieved so now I can relax for the rest of the month. Unbelievably beautiful weather for the second day in a row this weekend made the task much easier and enjoyable.After fighting the ants for a little while I had to wait for some muggles to pass so read a couple of logs and got a hint from there. Nicely done, a favourite from me.Thanks RyleighBFamilyof3 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I dont think its there

Hard to find at the start , after thinking about it , I remember I found one like this before , and then woopee

Searched for ages! Pretty cool spot though (:

Went with my daughter, taking her out for some night time driving and caching, we probably spent 15 minutes looking around, the coordinates point to the stairs, I'm looking at the rocks, all the hiding holes, pulling at what looks like loose rocks to no avail, then I'm sitting down looking and thinking, then I remembered something I seen on youtube videos in the past and boom, found it, sitting right next to me!

(:

it was difficult but easy

Tricky for sure! Options galore, and explored them all before the thought I needed to do something different kicked in.
It was freezing cold but I had time to spare while waiting to catch up with my daughter before we head OS, so persevered.
Great placement

Awesome hiding spot as the description states not the first place you would think

Didn't find will have to come back

Too hard

Getting closer to the date of the Mega in Rutherglen and even though we are going to get there late, I am still planning on it being my next Milestone. As such I still need to collect a few caches.

Pleased that my first idea of where this one was hidden was correct. However I looked in the other 2 similar spots first because of all the ants that had made a nest with the geocache.

Thanks for the cache Ryleigh B Family of 3

This was our last cache for the day and was hoping it would be a quick one but after getting there and checking a few of the more obvious places we realised it might not he so easy! The hint really didn't help to start with because I just couldn't see how the object it was referring to could harbour a cache! So we poked, prodded and pulled to no avail and just as we were talking about calling it I suddenly had an idea and the only place I hadn't checked on the before mentioned object aaaaand bingo!! There's the little guy! Very nice hide and the first one I've actually seen hidden like that too! Definitely a FP from me for a clever hide! TFTC!!

Thank you

My friend found it with me, I would still be here looking that’s a hard one!!!

Found, TFTC

I found it eshay

This was my second visit here, with the first being a total bust. I had my daughter with me for cover, and this easy hide (when u know, u know...) was a good one to get her interested in caching again. Thanks for the fun placement.

This one reignited the fun in geocaching after a long time away. Great spot. Hint was the best help, was definitely not where expected

We found it lt was really hard thank you

After walking around the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens, we made a slight detour on our way home to check out this cache. Lovely area and thankfully quiet, it didn’t take too long before the little blighter was found. Nice hiding spot.

Thank you RyleighBFamilyof3 for bringing us to this location today.

Cache replaced, all good for finding again back in its right spot!

Disabled for a short time - the cache has gone walkabouts. Will replace asap and hope to have it enabled in the next few days.

Sad panda. New to this and had no luck today

Newbies here! Didn’t find it the first time but we got it today. It was a fun one

Out walking with WeRAmused on a beautiful day TFTC Well done Fav Pt

Out with the family today and finally got it. TFTC

Super small! Good find

Log book replaced, cache wasn’t quite in correct location - now returned to its original home.

Find 2971
Out for a caching day trying to dodge the rain. When we arrived no muggles and no rain. We searched for a good 10 mins without luck. Then another idea was explored and bingo it was discovered. Nifty hiding spot. Managed to sign the log sheet as it is now full.
Thanks so much for your cache

Found by Rebel Acts

I had an appointment in the area so plans were made to catch up with Omegaman1971 to clean up some of the new caches in the area.

This is one of the caches found today. This was a nice little hide.

Thanks RyleighBFamilyof3 for the cache.

Find # 9627

In the area with Rebel Acts before heading to some work nearby.
After a short search we soon had the log. signed.
Nice work on this hide!

Awesome

It was in the first place we looked however we missed it as it was so small.
Found it the second time round after reading the comments.
TFTC

Very cool, so micro, our smallest one yet!

Cool idea with the cache but it was so small lol as small as my finger nail!!! 18/4/22

This was definitely my most fav hide today!!! Well done tftc!

Found took a while hint it is blends in

Great hiding spot

Nice walk

A nice quick find to celebrate my bday today.
Clever hiding spot and lovely area.

Thanks for the cache

A very sneaky little hide.
We looked all over the thing before we hit on the right spot.
It all made sense after that.
Thanks RyleighBFamilyof3 for showing us this nice area.
A favourite point from us for a very clever first hide.
Chiefton!!!

Found really quickly although I started at the wrong end. JMorg started at the right spot using my discovery and found it straight away. A very clever hiding spot but not good enough to trick me! Thanks

Love the hide. Found in the first place I looked. Partially as Cathylm had already looked in the other 2 spots. Thanks for the fun

Great spot!!!

Quick find.

Found it

Out and about with geoson pimpmyballoons while on the way back from a delivery. Interesting to see how far the Melbourne sprawl is happening. Nice little wetland here. Excellent hide and cache in good condition. Very inventful using what was there. its gets a favourite from me. Thanks for the cache Ryleigh8Familyof3

Fantastic little hide really really clever and not in the obvious place you would expect.
Had to give this on a favourite Point

Did not find

Clever hide, took me a little bit of looking around and probing things. Also did not sign the log. TFTH, at least I found 1 out of 3 today:)

I used to work out this side of town but since lockdown and changing jobs my only trips down this way are typically cache maintenance visits. After an errand on a weekday evening to pick up some cricket books that I had purchased in Mt Eliza I decided to swing by here to grab this relatively recent placement. I was involved in a project for the design and construction of some sewers to service this housing development so interesting to come back and see it so well progressed some years later. I parked nearby and given it was after dark it was pretty quite near GZ with just the off passing muggle. Tricky little hide that took me a long time I don't mind admitting! In the end I found it somewhat out in the open but replaced in what I thought was the logical spot. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache RyleighBFamilyof3.

Came back to try again, and found the lil guy!
Nice to see some native flowers.

Found your cache RyleighBFamilyof3, thank you so much for placing it.

TFTC. I liked this one. So small so I didn't bother signing physically.

Too delicate a cache for my chubby fingers to write on. I love different the wetlands look from the Geo map. TFTC

Too much rain.

Maintenance carried out, cache still in correct location. Log book fine.

I know what the hint is referring to....but I prodded and poked, even lift up a few sections and couldn't find it??? My GPS had me at two zones at one stage...hmmmmm.... will message owner for another hint... its not that tiny is it? I have found one once the size of 1/3 of my pinky finger....

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest word in the English language. It is a medical condition, called Pneumoconiosis that is specifically caused by inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust. The challenge today was to find a cache with the first letter of each cache title to match each letter in this word. Why would I do this? Well, because there is a challenge of course (see GC5EWGV, Scrabble Challenge-Beckworth Beckons).
So, a LOT of planning went into this day. You see, there are 45 letters in this word alone, which meant identifying 45 different caches that I would have to find, one each starting with each of these letters, aacccccceiiiiiilllmmnnnnooooooooopprrsssstuuv. That’s 14 different letters and just for good measure, I identified a bonus cache for each letter, for when the inevitable DNFs were to happen. Which means there were now 59 caches on my list for the day, spread out from Maryknoll, to Berwick, Cranbourne, Lysterfield, Lilydale, Woori Yallock and then into the Dandenongs. I expected it to take me most of the day but in the end, because of 9 DNFs and a number of times where I had to hastily look for other options, I only finished it with minutes to spare before midnight.

The letter A should have been an easy one as there are only 2 required, but with a DNF on one of them and my back up A being the last on my list, I decided to hastily find another nearby to where I was going, which I did, in Cranbourne.

This one wasn't initially on my list of caches for the day. However, with a DNF on another A cache I realised I was now leaving the letter A to my last cache for the day (which could be dangerous). So, I hastily looked up other A caches that might be nearby to where I was, and I found this one. Thankfully it was a nice easy find at GZ in the second place I tried. TFTC!

TFTC with Kimx123

TFTC, found with wasp1997. The cache is a little too small for the log to fit properly and close the lid.

First time doing it and it was so fun but also nearly lost my mind

The gizmo was right on with finding this one. Wasn’t the first idea of where to look, but became the second and was an easy find as I’ve seen this hiding place before. For newcomers it might be a bit tougher but the hint will definitely help you. Came here after finishing early morning Saturday shift.
