Geo dog patient but wanting to move on. Puppacino in Queenscliff beckons for her

Apologies for the late log - semi retirement is busy!! lol We're staying in Point Lonsdale for a few days and today is our Anniversary With the weather predicted to be showery we thought we better set off reasonably early as it was currently fine and this was next on the agenda. We looked around for a little while then GMelb spotted the telltale signs. TFTC AusFox; - GJMMelb

Spending a few days in Queenscliff with a muggle fiend and our dogs. Not a geocaching focussed holiday but had to get one for the day. This was the chosen one, a quick park and find. TFTC AusFox!

to much of a hint

tftc changd the hint it tells you exactly where it is

Took me way too long for an obvious find!!

Spring Victorian Incursion 2024.Day Twelve: Geelong and Queenscliff(e).Weather: perfect for geocaching. A race against time now to get my total number of finds in Queenscliff to 20 before the daylight runs out. This was a quick find here thanks to the hint. Thanks for this hide AusFox.

In town for a non-geocaching event, I took the opportunity to make a weekend of it, and find some caches in the area. Papi4506 & Geoturtle37 joined in with the fun. Despite the rather high winds, we got the e-scooters out to attempt a few caches along the rail trail. Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, AusFox; ~~

Went a bit off trail on the hunt and then spotted it on more level ground, tftc

Thanks for find 247!

Thanks to Lego Heads for putting the cache in a safe spot. Cache has been returned to its original location and ready to be found.

Seems to have gone missing needs owner maintenance especially after last few logs

Found this one open and spread around. We have put it back together and hidden it where we think it should have been, feel free to message me if you need more details. Hopefully its safe after this. It wasnt wet though, so I have concerns that maybe someone is opening it and pulling it out regularly because the last log said it was out in the open too, and its rained a lot since then. Out with FairyDust01 Thanks

found it but it was literally out in the open so no thrill of finding it

Nice find by Mr 5. So excited he found. Tftc

Staying in Geelong for last few days of my trip. Haven't cached this area very much.

Made the most of our day off for ANZAC day. Out to Queenscliff to find a few caches. Most were nice easy finds only 2 DNF. TFTC

Another randomly selected cache done today. The generous clue made for a quick find.No black swans seen from the viewing area but we had passed heaps earlier.Thanks.

A quick find for one of the last before we leave town for further west along the coast. Thanks for helping to make our stay a caching success.

While over this way visiting friends in Freshwater Creek had to get some caching done as well. This afternoon it was the G2Q (Geelong to Queenscliff) Rail Trail, had brought the Ebike along to assist. Drove over to the Queenscliff end, unloaded the bike and started looking and riding towards Geelong. Didn't get as far as hoped before it was time to return to the car to get back in time for dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of hides, some of which took longer than expected to find, and am looking forward to getting back sometime to complete the series.Thanks to AusFox; for adding this cache to this excellent series.Cache #14586 for me.*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*****SAs Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Cant wait!!****

Tftc, hint makes it too easy

Found it out and about ,tftc

Day along the coast with, thankfully a nice quick find here again. TFTC

Down in Queenscliff for a weekend break with my family... and after lunch it was time to start heading home... except for me! I had 8 more caches to find in Queenscliff so I could cross off the Borough for the **WCW - The 80/20 Rule Challenge**. With plenty of caches along the G2Q Rail Trail to choose from, I was back for more... with this one being my fourth this afternoon. Mind you, it would have been handy if my grand daughter was still with me so I could have sent her crawling in after it!

Thanks **AusFox! (VKC1SR)** for the cache and the series.

Whilst not the ones I intended to do found a few on way into Queenscliff to check a cache.
Thanks for the cache AusFox;

Nice hide! Thanks for the cache

A nice easy pickup on our way to queens cliff

Reading the hint too literally was almost my undoing but eventually with some persevering the cache was located.

Back in the Queenscliff LGA because we didn't get enough geocaches in the area because the music festival stopped our plans. As such this time, we came early starting at 7.30 am.

Nice viewing platform here. I didn't see the branch while reaching for the geocache and first blood of the day received.

Thanks for the cache Aus Fox;

Down in Queenscliffe with catnap777 for a number of reasons (all of them geocache related), we soon found ourselves hunting down this little trad that has proven itself so very popular over the years.
Targeted for it's significant number of finds, catnap777 and I became finders #527 and #528. A very handy one for the challenge cacher.

TFTC AusFox; [^]

Found cache and log signed with dalerious .

We were off to Point Lonsdale via here and there this weekend with a cache list strategically hand picked to get some green ticks on Challenge Caches we are working on.
As usual, it is me that has more to sign as I am still catching up to my partner .

This one was picked for it's 500+ found logs .
Thank you AusFox! (VKC1SR) for maintaining this cache.

In the area this morning for work so I had to collect a few smiley faces whilst I'm nearby.

I had to wait for a muggle to stop reading the nearby sign but luckily it wasn't too long!! Cache in good condition and ready for next visitor Thanks for the hide

Caching out Queenscliff with day1976. I had never been to this side of the bay before so it was a lovely change. Very nice area.
I went and grabbed it since day1976 is old and couldn't squeeze between the tree and post. He acted as lookout (badly)

Enjoyed a day out with ilukaperi finding geocaches in Queenscliffe today. I had only ever found a handful of geocaches in Queenscliffe before, so that's why the location was chosen. Plus it was a good day as it had been 16 weeks since my last geocache find. So it was nice to be out again.

Given a good hint, this one was easy. Well, easy for me because I made ilukaperi go and retrieve it. She handed it to me for the signing duties before handing it back for her to replace.

TFTC!

Really enjoying our day

Found quickly at a nice location.

Quick find for us

Enjoying the walk TFTC

This time I found this one..thanks for the hint.

Tftc found quickly

My last day on the road and I think the universe was ready for me to head home as the car started playing up and I found out my pocket queries didn't download correctly. Had to resort to using the phone which sucked and meant I only got 7 caches today.

Mind the boxthorn which will have to be cut back soon or it will be very tricky to get to. Note to self,put secauteurs in pack with other TOTTs, otherwise, thanks for placing this cache

Thanks for the hint. Found it.

Found some undies. Anyone missing theirs?! Hint very clear. Not sure how big people get in there. Saw the train again. Tftc

Nice tight spot - coordinates and hint where very helpful! TFTC

Found it

Used the hint on this one as my phone was a bit off but fairly quick find with a nice outlook.

Out with team tackt lovely walk thanks

Bump on the head for Kpatt17- another quick find for team TACKT

Tftc

Cool hide! the navigation was quite helpful

Thanks heaps to the cache owners for hiding these caches along this trail!!

I stared my journey early in the morning from Queenscliff in hoping to get as far down the trail on my bike as I could before the rain started to set in. Ended up making it almost to Drysdale until I got my first few drops of rain, so I decided it was time to start heading back. Made it to the car just in time before the clouds opened up and the whole place was soaked within minutes!!. Phew! Lucky I gave up on some of those annoying micros, they do my head in!

Sorry about the generic copy and paste logs, but all caches were in good working order unless otherwise stated. Thanks again cache owners for the adventure!

TFTC

Coming from the other end of the Rail Trail today. Something out of the ordinary. TFTC

Thanks for this one! Nice easy one for the kids

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Quick find, great views

Find #4863. Found @ 12:27 with The Good Lady Wife

The family is on a mid-school holiday break since we can get away for this one, and chose the Queenscliff area to chill out (based on the current weather, that is literally as well as figuratively). Every break has to involve some caching so TGLW and I found a few caches while getting some exercise along the rail trail.

I had to quickly get this cache as more muggles were approaching the area, and my retrieval technique was unsubtle.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache AusFox;

A quick find

For several months now we have been doing regular caching runs with Rebel Acts, but commitments put a stop to that for a while. We have come down to stay in Geelong for a week or two, and invited Rebel to come for a few nights so we could complete some of the numerous caches around here. As usual we have signed our Joint find logs RASH (Rebel Acts SKI Pair).
The weather started out miserable today so we decided to stick with as many caches as possible that we could get from the car. A few short trails helped with with the numbers, and we were very pleased to see a number of small and regular caches instead of the micro and nanos we often find doing trails. Well done to the Bellarine CO's, its great to find the bigger
containers.

I am trying to find my caching groove again after the horror of 2020. On a weekend retreat here in Queenscliff, we did a kayak session close by, then I headed off to find this one. Coming up from the yacht club was a bad idea, should've gone around. After some bush bashing I spotted the location of the cache and moved into a better location to retrieve and sign the log. All good. TFTC.

All good here & a nice viewing deck that I had no idea was here. Tftc

Headed out on the Bellarine Rail Trail on our ebikes today. Quick find. TFTC

It helps if the GPS takes you to spot the easy way. A quick find when we did get there. TFTC

The daughters are on a roll, nice easy find. Thank you

Tricky tricky!! Hint is too cruel!

It was soooo hard to get to. Very bushy. Don’t come if not prepared to get low and push through the bush! TFTC

Found it.

Bloody bush basher that one is

Out and about in Queenscliff today with the kids trying to clear off some unfinished caches. Lucky I have long arms to reach this one. TFTC

Out with au.fait on a very windy day, we walked along the rail trail gathering a few caches on the way. Well hidden. An easy find using the hint. Thanks AusFox! (VKC1SR)

Re-enabled.
Stay safe.

Temporarily disabled due to current situation.

Cache maintenance.
Cache is in good health.
Happy caching.

Out for a bike riding caching day with Kia1 around the Lonsdale Queenscliffe area. Turned out a good day for it .
Covered some old territory and some new.
Thankyou for the cache and the challenge. Cheers

Great hide thanks.

Under piece of wood

An early morning ride along the foreshore path to pick up a few caches, quite a few bike riding groups to dodge, lucky for geokids makes its look like we need to stop often.

A quick find and a snack for the geokids in a nice rest spot.
