Thanks for my first find!

Thanks for this cache at the BHS rehab centre. Very hard to tell who is watching behind the frosted doors. Had to wait for a little while staff in parked car made a call. Eventually able to return signed cache. CIGC TNLN TFTC, StA.

Geocache has been replaced. Thank you to all those waiting.

The cache will be disabled for six weeks as I am recovering from major surgery and unable to attend to the cache.

I had a decent look but came up empty.

A very long look and came up empty

Found in good condition.

Suscoe was in Ballarat on this delightfully rainy morning.We had enjoyed an event in Creswick and were now heading home. Best laid plans were thrown out due to the rain and cold.So what else to do but pick up a few town caches.Thanks to Cogs06 for sharing this account.A quick find.No one wandering the street this morning.

Thanks

Tanks

Thanks

Thank you! I was a nice challenge

Super quick find, parked right in front.

yew

quick and easy, thanks

Hint made it nice and easy for us, two people who are very bad at geocaching, haha. Definitely go after hours if you want to avoid people looking at you like you're nuts. Thank you!

TFTH and bless all our friends who have passed over the rainbow bridge.

Needed a few caches today to help fill the calendar, and decided the Cogs06 caches were the go. Good idea to come here on a Saturday as the place was quiet, so a quick find and sign was completed.Thanks for this one Cogs06...cache all good.

Thanks for the hide

Picking up the few unfound caches around Ballarat with wozzle68 on this chilly afternoon we managed to scope this one out and sign.Thanks opted-out user for the placement.

Having shared my entire life with canine friends and having a special girl that helped me through hard times, I shed a tear at your story. They are the most selfless personalities I know, giving so much without a need for anything in return. If more humans were like this, the world would truly be a beautiful place. Thanks opted-out user for placing this cache, contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!

A lovely story. Quick fund . Luckily. Thanks opted-out user and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! | | I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Found today while we were parked out the front for an appointment inside - and it gives us our solstice souvenir. Loved your story about Brayden - what a special friend he was to you. We hope that you are still travelling ok, and that placing geocaches like this helps your ongoing recovery. Thank you for placing this cache and telling your story Cogs06.

Quick find

Good coordinates helped us find this cache fast

Great spot.

Out with Lumpyjrb this was a nice little destruction from the day. Thanks for the cache.

A quick find after a day spent at the hospital. Tftc. Good to get out in the fresh air.

Vale Brayden. Tftc

Thanks a busy area, so decided to use the hint a very quick find here. took cache back to my car to sign log and put it back into place carefully after muggles left the area.

This has a huge FAVE for a wonderful tribute to that beeyootiful lab and pal. We had a black lab that we adored as kids but apart from that the story is captivating. On a mission to try out a new little blowup boat for those trips when the car is already chokkas so it's a flying visit might describe this odd detour via Ballarat to Melbs from NE Vic with buddies from Riddells Ck. This cache is an unplanned bonus. TFTC.

We found this one earlier today and its taken to the end of our caching day and after our beautiful meal out tonight to write this log.Usually we do them as we cache, but this was such an emotional descriptive story that it needed an equally good log. Currently we too have an aging Labrador, now 14. She did her service as a breeder for Customs and Border Protection. Long story, short, she nearly did not survive after getting septicemia secondary to severe mastitis following her second litter. She had life saving surgery, while on deaths doorstep which saved her.So there are lots of parallels and our pets are so faithful and belonging that they are loving family members. So thanks for this cache in honor for your very much loved Brayden.

Tricky!

Found on a quiet Sunday morning when I figured Id be safe from being seen. Quick one here. Thanks for the cache.

An easy find with the aid of the clue. No one seemed to see what I was up to.Thanks

Good afternoon it is a great one I did in on the way in to the QELook really low

Early morning caching date and headed here straight away. Jlc15 and myself made the quick find easily tftc

Came to find this one nice & early. Found

Found by Mary and David at 14:35. As a retired RN, M sincerely hopes that your battle with PTSD will improve. Seems that you and Brayden are ideally suited. We came to Ballarat today to attend the April Monthly Lunch. Our thanks to Cogs06.

Having one member of the team work here we wanted to wait for a weekend so as not to get sprung.Really quick find today. Still heaps of cars around but no one sprung us!Thanks for the hide.

[FTF] Quick find. Busy little spot so watch for Muggles a plenty.

Missed it by this much . We saw that this cache was published this morning and still hadnt been found this afternoon so the youngest monster and I went to try and get the FTF. Upon arrival at GZ we could see a gentleman playing with his phone and taking a photo of the tree. We waited until he left and kept refreshing the activity log to see if it was a cacher. It was!! JTreeTrack2 beat us by a couple minutes!! Great work!! Second to find shortly after with the youngest monster making a quick find. TFTC!!
