All good here with a nice log book

After dropping off a friend at the airport i had a bit of time to check out some close by. I approached this the wrong way so I needed to cross the creek. Had to check out quite a few options before the clue meant something. Cache in excellent condition. Thanks for the cache GeoClasher5

All good at GZ . Coordinates dead on! TFTC

No luck today

On a walk from Coolaroo to Essendon getting some caches on the trail. All good with the cache. Thanks

Found by caughtatwork on 19/05/2024 at 10:36:00 AMA very quick find here today.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.*Overall Experience: 3*GAFF1

Rated: for Overall Experience

Thanks for the cache. Jacana bike ride on a Saturday arvo

Found at 12:10pm while walking the dog. Hint was a bit misleading - is really BOT.Thanks geoclasher5

TFTC, took forever as gps was off

Logbook is present and accounted for and in tip top shape. A difficult hide that took quite a while to locate. I needed a PAF in the end. Thank you GeoClasher5 for placing and maintaining #3 Nature's Beauty "Eww I hate my Veggies!" for us to find today.

Obvious find but log book is missing. TFTC

TfTC took a little while to find!

No luck here today

When we're (ever) back in Melbourne we will have to try again Greetings from Holland !;-)

I had a half day at work today and so I had a bit more time to get out and cache further than I normally do. Today, I was trying to target caches that would help me work towards qualifying for a couple of challenge caches I have been working on. So when I saw that this cache had the **No Stealth Required** attribute, it was quickly added to Today's targets as I only need a couple more caches with this attribute in order to qualify for [Jamin Appleford's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=8b39e499-2ef1-42f7-8b4e-07e9ed9799b3&wid=001ef280-7be4-4090-9289-3ba26042b947&ds=2) [WCT Nobody's Watching Challenge (GC9DNE6)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9DNE6).This was actually my second time attempting to find this one, on my last attempt it was getting a bit late in the day and I knew I didn't have a proper look so I didn't log a DNF. However, maybe I should have as I had a long search today, but no luck finding this one. My phone was bouncing all around the place. It led my to one beacon, but I made a good search and still no cache.Then it pointed me to the other side of the water and so I hopped over and started to search at some others beacons. Still no cache...I then expanded the search and checked every beacon I could, I looked and looked... but no cache. I eventually had to resort to a PAF who told me to look in a spot that I had already done. I gave it one more shot and just as I was about to log a DNF I spotted the little guy. Woo hoo!A big thanks goes to [GeoClasher5](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=0d364b94-80f4-4aa0-930b-721603dd65c8&wid=7404d29a-a36f-44ca-9d74-cd4624932545&ds=2) for this tricky little hide. TFTC.**Cache Maintenance Status**The cache container was in good shape and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Out for a few caches nearby after an event with some Norwegians by the airport this morning. Glad I had some company, with Robmc and RoamingHowie, as the grass was really long here, so three of us stomping around made it a safer find. Nice to see this trail here, as there aren't many in the area so well done to GeoClasher5.

After attending the early morning event, RoamingHowie, ConnieandRick and I went for a short walk and collected a few local caches.This was the first one. The grass was quite long on the edge of the creek, but it was a quick find.Thanks, Robmc.

Dnf

DNF searched many spots that seemed like they could be it but no luck. Was even on the side of the creek opposite the path

scared of running into a snake so eye-balled the cache and ran! TFTC, took me a while to find it!

After nearly 2 weeks of cabin fever, I was excited to go out on a little trip today.Spiffy- selected this area as a nice spot for a scooter ride and we set out with his geokid.Eeew you hate veggies... my eeew would be for the sludgey looking mouldy items growing on the creek and the potential snakes!The geokid and I gave directions and supposed helpful hints from across the creek and spiffy- kindly leaped across to grab this cache.

We hadn't been for a scooter ride for a little while so headed this way with my smallest geokid and KristysAdventures as well in the pleasant weather and looked for a few along this trail that I am rarely near.There were a lot of spiky bushes and annoying thorns so we had a few DNF's and I still have a thorn in my finger now, 3 days later while logging these.This took me a few minutes after jumping the creek but soon had it in hand after a proper look in a spot I quickly looked in initially.Thanks GeoClasher5 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

A short drive to grab another cache. It took a little bit of searching to grab this one but I eventually spotted it tucked away.Thanks GeoClasher5 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy. It was a great day out!----------------------------------------------------------Have you found all of the 12 Days of Cachemas series?

Cool cash

Cache replaced all is good to go now

Was checking up on my cache sadly it is gone will replace soon

I found a few caches this morning whilst waiting to pick someone up from the airport. I reparked the car on the nearby road to tackle the closet three caches along here. Once again, glad that the grass had been cut after seeing two snakes yesterday. Thanks from D B-A

Lovely peaceful spot with cache in great condition, just where it should be. T4TC

I took awhile to find this one my GPS had me going in circles for awhile, but found it in the end. However I love my veggies.Greytiger

Had to cross the raging river to get to GZ luckily I had eaten my vegetables and had enough strength to leap across and find the cache. Cool container ??

The bushes were really thick

By the way I am one of his best friends and it was my container and I gave it to him so thank you I am counting that as a win

Cool container!

*Great Vic Cache Crawl 2023 Adventure #16*
Just grabbing a few quick ones after the nearby Cache Crawl event.
I approached from the wrong side of the creek, and had to get my feet wet. That's okay... that's pretty standard for me.
Thanks heaps for the cache!

I checked up on this one because it did rain alot but the log and the cointainor was all good and dry! Please if your gonna take smth please leave smth in there I did leave a couple dollars for the next finder hope you have a good time finding it!

Nice spot

While being out and about in the park chasing a FTF I thought I would just pop over and grab this one.
Nice quick and easy find to occupy the afternoon in a rather pleasant area.
TFTC

A new cache out my side of town is a very tempting thing, so I decided to go for a bit of a walk along the creek this morning to find it. I love my veggies and I love this cute little cache container.

Love the container!

Nearly gave up

Signed TRC. I love the container for this one

Come to the area again to attempt being the first on another cache. This one was pretty straightforward. I am glad that the council has cut the grass recently, which made the walk in easy.

{FTF} 5.15pm

Well the wheel of challenges for this month has been spun by HQ and it has come up with Streak Month.
This means that I will have a lot of detours and kilometres to do on the way home from work as I have found a lot of the caches in my area.
Melbourne has turned on a beautiful sunny afternoon and as I have to keep the streak up I headed over to this one after work.
A very familiar area as I did trade school and night school at the old Broadmeadows West Tech just down the road.
After finding the first 2 caches in the area I headed over to look for this one.
I walked through the park and down towards the creek and soon located this one.
I didn’t check the previous logs and as I opened the cache I found a fresh logbook and realised that I was the first to find on this one.

I agree with you on this one Eww I hate my Veggies.

Thanks GeoClasher5 TFTC.
