TFTC, easy but nice location

Nice easy find whilst entertaining the small person an a public holiday day off from school

TFTC. Nice little hide and location. Found the cache in good condition without too much trouble.

TFTC… easy fun find

We arrived just as the train was about to take off. We had some lunch, walked over to make the quick find. TFTC TAD

Quick find after our Q Train experience. No pen so couldn't sign log. TFTC!

Bunadoorian and I were here back in Dec when we did the Qtrain. Due to the hot conditions on the day and lack of working air con in the carriage we got off the train to get some fresh air. Before we got back on the train we checked the app and were about to retrieve this cache when we were told the train was about to leave for Queenscliff - oh well another day we will have to come back.

Well today is the day as we are down this way picking up degrees from home to help finish my 360 degrees. I found the cache in good condition. TFTC and for bringing us here AusFox!

I arrived at GZ to see Grub62 find the cache, I did offer a bit of advice but it was after the event and I don't think altogether appropriated. TFTC.

Morning walk with the kids, beautiful morning for a stroll

A quick find here on a long weekend down here not too long ago.

As I was putting the cache back a curious "muggle?" worker poked his head around the corner.
He didn't say anything so maybe he knows it's there or maybe he doesn't care.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick and easy find with a new muggle friend. TFTC

A very nice quick and easy find.
TFTC

What a great spot

Many thanks for the cache. Tnln sl

No pen easy find

Heading down to visit sister in St.Leonards for her birthday, had to stop of course and grab a cache. Very busy here,lots boarding the train, which I really need to do one day

We had stopped nearby to grab an ad lab answer so took the opportunity to find this cache as well. Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Pleased that we looked for and found this one even though it was raining. I do like to try and find the older caches. Thanks for placing this and keeping it going for so long.

The original forecast for the weekend looked good so I teamed up with OzHockeyChick for a trip to Geelong to attend a CITO. Fast forward to today and the weather is a little more interesting.

Walked across the puddle stricken grounds to get to this cache after grabbing the ad lab waypoint nearby.

Thanks AusFox; for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

A day trip to Geelong with RoamingHowie to attend a cito, where we teamed up with Papi4506 and Geoturtle37 to then find some drive-bys as the rain deterred us from anything else.

A quick AdLab and toilet stop, so why not find a cache while here.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, AusFox;

Pretty sure I found this years ago when I bought my kids here with Deshut. So I must have forgotten to log it way back then. Probably distracted by the kids. All is good. Thanks

SueHut thought she'd already done this one, although it didn't appear on the map as such. She certainly knew where to look.
Thanks heaps, Ausfox!

Found with Alansee as one of very first cache finds. TFTC

Grabbing a few caches along the rail trail while I house sit for a friend in Curlewis. Busy on the rail trail today with lots of bicycles and pedestrians. I was lucky with this cache and all the others that things went quiet whenever I came to a cache. I’m now headed toward Drysdale and really enjoying the series. TFTC.

??

#2 find of this series for us. Limited opportunity when on the train. Hint made it easy with all the muggles about.

Nice hide

Found it with Silence49 and Cranky1 and DeafVW

Found it with lance51 crank1 and deafvw

Great team work logging with Crank1 Silence49 and Lance51

Haven't been out for a cache in over 2 weeks so decided to to hit up Drysdale area to collect a few smiley faces. Nice and quick find. Spotted a TB but left for someone else

*16 Jan 2022, Found @1:26 pm, Find # 3736.*

Well that’s the end of the line for us on our second day of the rail trail riding from Leopold to Drysdale. It’s been a fantastic two days with beautiful scenery. The locals are ever so friendly making for a very enjoyable ride. The cache was a little exposed so I looked for something to cover it up a little better. I left a trackable here hopefully it will get to go on some new adventures.

**Thanks to AusFox; for placing this cache.**

Been down here in Geelong for almost a week now visiting my daughter for the Christmas/New Year break, so as I do, I get up well before everyone else to take yet another chunk out of the Bellarine Rail trail series. An early morning ride on my poor under-utilised mtb seemed just the ticket, whereas previous attacks have been undertaken on foot.
I was surprised where I found myself so soon! I’ve driven past here a few times but never stopped. Set off on the wrong track initially, but soon realised my error and had to backtrack a bit. But quickly spotted the hide.

A day trip out of the house, stopped here for a bite to eat and then a walk around the lake.

TFTC

Found this one while on another mission, so it was an extra for the day. Cache found with goingplaces2, log signed and replaced. TFTC.

This was a nice quick find with ilook4geo despite the number of muggles wandering around. Thank you for this cache placement and the maintainence go to AUsFox! (VKC1SR).

Nice hide, easy find sl tnln tftc

Found by Changing Tracks Disability Services (Blake and Ellen)
A nice easy hide but lots of fun to find

Thanks for the Cache!

Found at 4am while doing milk run in the area, nice park and log then hide again. TFTC

A nice start to my walk around the lake. Hoping to hit 100 finds on this circuit before dawn!!!

Lots of muggles, one had children who geocached

Found

Found!

Found it it is easy

Exactly where the hint said it would be

Our plan this afternoon was to load up the bikes, drive out to the driving range near Curlew Station, and set off back to Geelong to fill in the smilie line by grabbing all the caches back to where we had previously stopped. We figure by travelling in the opposite direction this time we would have the wind at our back as we rode back to the car.
This plan worked so well that when we got back to the driving range car park where we had left the car we continued on to Drysdale and found a lot more caches than we had planned for. A great plan made even better by the extra finds.
We are enjoying ourselves in Geelong so much we have extended our stay for a few more days and are hoping that will give us many more funds. Having survived the wind, rain and cold we are looking forward to better weather as well.

TFTC and a big thank you to all the CO’s who have put out caches along this great rail trail

On a beautiful sunny mothers day morning. Perfect day to do some caches. We were up early (4:15am) to give the mother in law breakfast in bed out at St Leonards. So on our way home we did a bit of caching for my mothers day morning. (Who needs a sleep in ) 1 Adventure cache and a few traditionals later and afternoon entertainment out at the Whiskery. (Awesome place highly recommend). This cache was a nice easy find and all in good order. TFTC

The weather today was nice and cool and conducive to getting out and about, and the geodogs were keen for some exercise, so we ventured out to pick up some caches. The geodogs love walking in this area, so we decided to walk around the lake and pick up the smileys. We were sure to have the geodogs on a leash as there is plentiful birdlife in the lake. Clearly, there are many do owners who walk around the lake and have an inability to clean up after their dogs. This was a quick find and we were soon on our way. The cache was in excellent condition. Thank you AusFox for this cache.

Snivelbert and I had just finished a long lunch on the QTrain and weren't quite ready to drive off so had a wander around the lake to find some caches. This was the first one and quickly spotted by Snivelert. TFTC!

Great little find

Day out with the GeoKids. Nice easy find for them. Thanks

Our third find

Quick find TFTC

Great cache thanks

I am staying with a friend who has just bought a house in Port Arlington and we are exploring the area a little caching along the way.
Quick, easy find with the clue.

Our first find. Lots of fun whilst out for a ride

Introducing some friends to geocaching and this was closest to our car park. Had to resort to the hint and were then sprung by a couple of muggles who volunteer at the railway. They were fascinated by the explanation and interested in finding out more! Container and contents in good condition.

Waiting for a train! Tftc

Quick easy find while the kids played
