Found whilst in the area for a CITO.
Found whilst collecting rubbish, thus giving me time for a decent search. Fortunately this wasn't required as the cache was found in good condition and good coordinates.
Thanks for the cache Shifter Brains

Happy to finally put a smiley on this one.
Back again for another search.
This time widening the area and a spot I missed before the cache was staring me in the face.
Cache was nice and dry and in good nick.

A quick stop and grab here.
Made easier by spotting a bit of tell tale blue when near GZ.
There were a few muggles about but the motorhome nicely hid them from our search.
This is one of the things that geocaching should be all about - bringing you to interesting places.
Thanks Shifter Brains.

This was our first go at Geocaching so no idea what we were really doing but managed to find the cache. Kids were so excited - left a couple little trinkets in the box for the next finder.
Great one to get our feet wet with.

Found with teamashy and geoniece on a beautiful spring afternoon. On my last trip to Geelong I couldn't find this cache so am happy it is now a tick. TFTC

I’d have loved to have had the time to explore this area further, but we were on a time limit to achieve a certain amount of caches before attending the two event service tonight.
However I did manage to take some photos whilst Muggle Hubby located the cache, and we returned it, as found, before continuing onwards.
There are so many caches in this area, it definitely warrants several more return visits.

Was close to giving up as it was just so cold and windy and there were so many options, but did eventually find it in a logical spot.

No luck for me today.
Will keep an eye out and return when found.

I had a bit of spare time this morning before work, so I thought why not grab a cache !! With a clear sky, the view here was beautiful. After a short search, the cache soon revealed itself. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC Shifter Brains

A fantastic view from up here on a Friday evening as the sun was setting! - just perfect!

On a nice sunny early Friday morning me and Geo boyfriend decide to do some Aussie caches. Not too many people around so it was easy to find and log. Tftc

This geocache turned out to be quite a trick to find. At GZ we were presented with so very many choices to look around at. Even the hint was less than wonderfully helpful but it did indicate we were in the right area and what we might be looking for rather than a specific hint as to where the geocache was. After about 5 minutes of gentle looking (we didn't want to damage the plants at GZ) we stumbled upon the right combination of natural elements and had the geocache in hand. Only about 1m from the target GZ so great co-ordinates, just so many things to check.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Shifter Brains for this geocache here. It was a very pleasant and sunny afternoon at GZ and we admired the view over the sun sparkling waters and then headed back to the car to get on with our caching adventures today. This geocaches was one of the reasons we headed down to Geelong today, so thanks very much for placing it here.

On our way back from Pt Henry and noticed this GCA cache near by so had to stop and hunt. The cache was quickly located and found in good condition. Thanks for the cache Shifter Brains..
I decided to have a shot at the nearby Wherigo cache before today's races commenced down at the river. This was close enough for a quick look before commencing the bollard tour and after a bit of scrounging around, not to mention a squiz at the hint , I finally spotted the stash at 14:10.
TNLNSL. Thanks Shifter Brains.

On a full day caching with quiet1_au, we came upon this one in between events. As he said, we were confused as I could not see the cache on my phone...but he persisted and the cache was found. A couple of muggly cars nearby, but there was enough protection for a quick sign and return. An impressive view, enhanced by the kestrel hunting nearby. Thanks for the cache Shifter Brains.

Found today whilst on a run to complete the GC 7 Souvenirs of August and to collect as many cache types in a day as possible with sog12. We had some confusion at GZ when he couldn't find the cache on his iPhone - but now realise it was because it was a GCA not GC cache... I carried on and after expanding the search area a bit spotted something the looked suspicious and sure enough there was the cache. Returning back to the car, I spotted a beautiful Nankeen Kestrel perched on a nearby fence post eating a meal and was able to get quite close to it to take photos. It took off and after a short hunt came back again with another mouse meal - until a raven came to investigate and it flew off to a quieter spot to eat in peace.
Found after the event. Love finding GCA caches that aren't found often. Found quite quickly. Good hide. TFTC

It's great to finally get to do a normal GA cache.

When I saw this cache published last week I never imagined it would still be unfound when we were coming down the coast for the weekend. We weren't sure what to expect from the area but we were greeted by a lovely view and no muggles around made searching in the dark easy. Found pretty quickly and happy to find a blank log.
Thanks Shifter Brains for the cache. Go Cerberus.
