Thanks for my first find!

Quick find here. Just the way we like it. Love your work.Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumalated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Woden's day the sixteenth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

Spring Victorian Incursion 2024.Day Four: Bayside and KingstonWeather: windy doesnt even begin to describe it, and rain too.Id noted the previous log about driving right up to the cache, so when Google Mpas told me to turn left I went in. It didnt feel right, and after finding the cache (which is equally findable from either side) the manager came out and intercepted me. She was very friendly and understanding, but is keen for minimal traffic through the grounds given the nature of the business there. So please cachers, access this cache via Evergreen Circuit. On reading the cache description its now quite clear that this is what was intended, but Id only skimmed before setting out from the previous cache. Thanks for this adventure T+H.

That was fun. We drove in the convent property and followed the app to the hint. We saw it straight away but had to pretend smelling the flowers as a lovely person with a cute dog waved at us . Tyftc.

What a nice little pocket of suburbia! So peaceful and two wood ducks greeted me at the park. Signed the crisp log and appreciated a cache that's easy to get to, we'd just finished the Cheltenham Park adlab and thought we'd get this passing through. A part of Cheltenham I hadn't been to before and didn't realise there was a convent here.

Disabled in order to refresh log book and work on camoflage. Should be up again in about 1 week.

Log book is soaked and in the process of becoming mouldy. Cache container was found on the ground with a massive dent in it. I'd suggest both probably need replacing.

I had been saving a number of caches in the vicinity in case of a GS promotion. Last year they had a number with points being assigned differently each promotional period. Unfortunately, they have not had one this year, that is, until now. Although this isn't the current preferred type, a point is a point and seeing as how I was in the vicinity I thought I'd take a look.Unfortunately G-d's guidance has not seen fit to preserve either the cache container or the log book. The container was found on the ground with a fairly big dent in it presumably from an earthly whipper-snipper. As for the logbook, well, it is soaking and barely able to take the ink of even a powertank. Perhaps a protective bag in the form of a small sandwich bag might be the way to go when the logbook is replaced. I'll be putting a needs owners attention log on this one. The CO is welcome to message me if he/she wants photo proof of the state of the log book.

Off on another after work evening geocaching run, and I selected the Cheltenham area today. Specifically, to visit the St Kilda tree climb cache and what 'was' an unloved Multicache. Then any nearby that I had time for.Driving past this GZ, I started to worry about finding this one with all the people around. However, after parking and walking back to the GZ, it was empty. Found within 5 minutes, and as soon as I started walking away, the people started returning. Thanks for the cache, Timd 02.Hunter

----------### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE** ###----------Hi there Timd02,It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is some sort of issue. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of issues are evident.The cache has been [**temporarily disabled**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235), so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location, until the issues/s can be addressed.**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days,** so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.#What you need to do:-#You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored. - **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned. TwistedIt would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then.

We were heading to a shop in Mentone and GMelb wanted to visit the Brighton Cemetery for some info for a where-I-go so we went there first then headed towards Mentone. After finishing at the shop we headed towards home and saw this one on the map. We puilled over near GZ and a neighbour advised us not to park there as the resident of the closest house wouldnt like it so we moved around the corner where there are parking spots and walked to GZ. GMelb made a nice easy find. TFTC Timd02 - GJMMelb

Our last cache of the day and what an interesting turn of events, there was not 1 but 2 caches within very close proximity of one another and they were virtually identically the same. We both found 1 each, wich made it an interesting cache. Also a lovely spot. TFTC!
 
Nice, easy find. Always love a fresh logbook! TFTC

A quick find after deciding which was was best to attack. Inside. Nope, seems private. Outside, yes!
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.

I found this cache today whilst the Costco Shopping was getting done by Mrs Rabbitto. It is much more rare for us these days to find a cache in a park south or east of Melbourne that we have not found a cache in before but this was the second in two caches. This new suburb had a nice feel to it. A 2TF on the previous cache and a 92TF here. Thanks from D B-A
 
Thanks T+H for bringing us to this amazing little hideaway, had to dodge a few dog walkers, but grabbed it just in time.

havent been geocahing for ages, happy to find a local cache to find. out walking the geodog, heading to visit my mum in the nearby retirement village. Thanks for the find. A quiet area but watch out for walking muggles

Google maps wanted to take me into the convent..no no that's not happening.

Armed with knowledge from previous logs I thought I had a good idea of what I was looking for at GZ - a fairly good systematic search around GZ failed to show me the cache.

Gave up went back to the Geocar and PAF extra info was obtained. Take 2 had me finding the cache.
GPS was about 10 meters out.

What does one do after n0w0rries' celebratory get-together? Why, cache on his patch, of course.

I had plenty of time to check out the grounds and buildings as I walked along the frontage and around the corner... for a very quick find thanks to dead accurate coordinates.

Thanks, T+H.

After getting a nice little haircut today, and with my client postponing work for another week, left me with the rest of the day to go out and about and enjoy today's lovely weather.

With my eyes set on the general bayside area which I have clearly been unintentionally ignoring for the longest time. All in all had a brilliant day out in the sun. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure

Got the call from my geo buddy Rebel acts that he had some time available for caching. I'm always up for some caching, especially in this area.

Not many caches today but still had fun and heaps of laughs
 
02-Nov-22
I had a couple of appointments in the area so this gave me chance to catch up with My good mate Omegaman1971, I was in need of some laughs and My good mate all ways cracks some good jokes to get me laughing. This is one of the caches we found, the cache was a nice straight forward hide.

Thanks for the history on the convent and Thanks for the cache.
