*27 Oct 2024, Found @2:38PM, Find # 3986.*A nice day to get out and find a few as I work my way to my next milestone. A nice easy find I spotted this one on approach. **Thanks to sraeBehT for placing this cache.**

Clever hint thanks for the find

Out and about for an early morning walk and to close out a few more in this seriesLocated after a short searchAll found in good conditionMany thanx to sraeBehT

A short drive from a nearby cache find and got a wave from the garbage truck driver .. must have been the one I let pass earlier. This GZ was in a lovely park. The cache was a reasonable size, quickly sighted and easily accessed. Thank you to sraeBehT for placing the cache. Hopefully I will be back to collect the remaining caches in the series before too long.

GEOCACHE #39 (15/02/2024)

Nice easy find. Tftc

The log was wet thanks for the cache

Currently trying to finish the year with a few finds to etch closer to my 11,111th cache.Out today and used my scooter for the most part.Quickly onto this one.Thanks to sraeBehT for the fun and the adventure.

Were going to do some caching in the area tomorrow before the event not far away, but don't trust the Melbourne weather, so here we are just in case. This log was incredibly wet and mouldy. Thanks for placing these caches for us to find.

Such a beautiful sunny scooter day for a ride with Geoturtle37. Our GPSrs were pointing to the grass in the middle of four trees, so we explored each. One had a magpie sitting there at eye height, so we left that one alone. GT spotted the cache in the one tree Id already looked at, but from a different angle.Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, sraeBehT ~~

We found this cache today on our Cranbourne North Caching Morning. We had to pick up the final two caches before heading off so we drove and parked nearby. This was currently our 205th closest unfound cache to home. We had also found the cache "C.F. 33 - Alien Landing" about 58m from this spot back in 2015. Thanks from D B-A

Found it!

(:

Forgot to bring a pen, easy find, nice park.

Found it! Haha, I found this one nearly last. It was a quick find just as some muggles entered the park to play. Wonder what they thought I was doing in the trees! TFTC SL

Out and about in Lyndhurst, Cranbourne North and Narre Warren South. Another nice and quick find.



My thanks for the cache, sraeBehT.

Woof woof. TFTC sraeBehT. I found with my mum beckNmonts

Today ManfredWolfgang, ahomburg and myself went on a mini adventure around the area. Manfred was very appreciative of all the new spots to sniff.

Thanks for the awesome caches, sraeBehT

Find #13783

It was looking like a promising day, so plans were made and along with beckNmonts and Manfred Wolfgang, we headed towards the Cranbourne area for a bit of a numbers run so we could gain some souvenir points. Today we used either the joint stamp or wrote in micros "AH BM MW"

Massive thanks go to sraeBehT for placing this one.

Found it , no problems here. A quick search on a nice park. Tftc

Found it on our ride.

We have found it it was hard thanks

This is a nice tree in a good park. As I was signing the logbook, my thought drifted to how I may look to others. Just some old dude hanging out in a tree in a park with his phone out. Nothing sus here!

Thankfully the park was empty today!

A short adventure around Cranbourne North after visiting my youngest Son and Granddaughter.
A nice quick find here today.
All in good order.
Thanks for the cache and the series sraeBehT.

A walk in the warm afternoon and all the caches are in good condition and once the pattern was established, easy enough to find.
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 had a look for this one yesterday but as I was working from an offline list, I still had the old coordinates and naturally there was no cache there to be found.
After seeing that the coordinates had been updated, I returned today for another look and this time I didn't have any trouble at all.
It does help when you look in the right spot.

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

With the publishing of this series seemingly stopped I thought it would be a good time to deploy the scooter and go and have a look for these today. I had a lovely ride around and managed to find all of them without too much trouble.
Surprisingly dry all the logs in these containers except for one which looked like the lid was not put on properly. Other than that a fun time was had and it was very quiet everywhere except for maybe 2 dog walking muggles on the whole trip around the area.
I remember a few of these parks from back at the Cranbourne Mega when a series of trads was also published in this area and I managed a few FTF's on them along with some other teams at the time.
Thanks sraeBehT for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Old cache was destroyed and left in the middle of the park so moved slightly onto the higher side of the park to be more hidden and on less swampy ground.

Brought my bestie here to get them started on geocaching and they found it so fun! It was a pretty easy find! TFTC <3

Cool

Second, we are getting into geocaching, this is one of many

buhfuhguh and I were out an a caching adventure today, mainly targeting the new series in Cranbourne North before heading even further north to pick up a few extra caches we fancied.
We took advantage of the lovely weather today with the sun shining overhead, though recent rain had formed some intermittent puddles which were still thriving in the shade, and our shoes became a little muddy consequently!

Having seen this series get published in my emails, I quickly recognised whose territory it was in and backed off accordingly - sure enough, a familiar name comprised a consistent masthead that today's logbooks adorned.
We quickly became accustomed to a standard container type at each gz which seemed to be holding up fine, save for the odd slightly damp logbook (though all were able to receive our names).

We finished this series at the start today.
buhfuhguh had already visited previously, so it was my turn to make a quick retrieval aided by today's lucky run of no playground users.
The coordinates were bang on which helped out immensely - the logbook was signed and the trackable within taken out.

Thanks to sraeBehT for placing this series of caches!

Nice easy find. Found cache out in the open so we replaced it in a nearby floral home

TFTC

Found it sitting on the ground a couple of metres from the tree in good condition. Returned to proper location

Found it TFTC

Note to self (and any other finders...) don't wear slip on shoes after its been raining a lot! this park gets VERY squishy underfoot and of course we tried to approach it from the right hand side which meant when we realised which tree we were supposed to be looking for there was an ankle deep long puddle right between us and the cache! So my friend jumped over, found the cache and threw it over my side so I could stamp my name and add a few more swaps to the container then I threw in back over so she could put it back! I decided to take one of the TBs to travel with me for a bit then we moved on to the next cache, on a mission to reach 800 today and this was #795! TFTC!!

Strange park.. apple trees everywhere, possibly part of an old orchid?
Saw the ant mural art. Quick find and dropped a travelbug in there.

Found it

Morning walk today before work and the expected rain today. A nice little series. Dropped of TB. TFTC

Cute little find today in the sun

#LukeArmy14

We found it safely tucked away with a bit of natural camo over the top.
Thanks sraeBehT for placing the cache here and for showing us this nice little park.
Chiefton!!!

Beautiful trees here! Super easy cache to start the day, very muddy but so pretty. Tftc!

Great little hunt with the 8yo, son added a lil gift to the collection for the next people

Great spot nice place

I went to the wrong spot at first but then made a quick find when re-checking the coords.

Signed and replaced.

Thanks

After finishing work nearby today I decided that it was about time for me to go out and collect one of the caches from this new little Cranbourne series. Parking nearby I was able to quickly run over and find the cache with no issues at all. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

This series was easy and fun to do. TFTC

Last find for today. Left a couple of Yowies as thanks. T4TC

**Traditional Find #3021**

I hadn't found a cache since last June and the weather was too good to waste. I had to come up this way to do some maintenance so on my way home I called in to attempt this cache. A short walk from where I parked my car brought me to a likely hiding place. One muggle was on a seat further into the park but I managed to avoid his gaze. I found this cache quite quickly which was nice.

**Thank-you to sraeBehT for placing this geocache**

Found by Rebel Acts in the company of Omegaman1971.

I had an appointment in Cranbourne so I had a few hours spare in between that and attending the side tracked event in Bun yip for a fantastic pub meal, So plans were made to catch up with My caching Buddy and do a few caches in the area.

This is one of the caches found today. A nice quick find in a nice little park.

Thanks sraeBehT for the cache.

Found baby

Got the call from my buddy Rebel Acts about catching up and putting some smiles on the map.
Great to see some new caches in the area.

Cheers for the cache

After attending a birthday party at a pub just down the road we came here on the way home. Lucky this was an easy find as it was raining and very wet underfoot.

Easy find, but wear your boots the grass is very wet.

Easiest one we had, got attacked by a tree tho heheh

On way to my daughter place to look after my granddaughter is not well and quickly finding your cache sraeBehT, thank you so much for placing it.

Quick find today. Saw it while approaching GZ. TFTC!

Trackable Pharaoh Loot Loot Burger (TB90J8D) dropped off! Keep it going on its journey!

Ftf at 6.15pm. Log to follow

{FTF} at 6.15pm. Sitting at work I saw I had a email that a new cache was published in cranbourne. Looked where it was and it was on my way home. I knew I had to find it. After I finished at 6pm I checked the log and no entries. Off I headed in traffic knowing there would be others keen to get the FTF. Arrived at the park and headed off with my phone light looking for it. Park was very wet and squishy. Found it in it hidey hole. Logged it and was back on the road heading home. I know this park well. Grow up around the corner. Thanks for the placement. Taken the trackable and will be moving him on to Gold Coast next month. TFTC.
