Kingston & Coffee Version 2 Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia
By Bushfire on 10-Sep-07. Waypoint GC15VD9

I had intended to just find a new location for the new container but then decided to change the whole concept and go with a traditional and every body can find a new cache.

As of 14/02/14 the signs are still in place but no burning off has occured yet and with the weather as it is and the area so dry it may not happen soon. I will keep a watch on it.

Made the trip to O/G but there are signs that are telling the public that this reserve will be burnt in the next couple of weeks so aborted my efforts to sort out this adopted cache.

Kingston & Coffee Version 2 was transferred from RedPaw64 to user Bushfire

Hubby did the sums (he's good at them) but we couldn't find it.

After 2 dnf's I am going to temp disable this cache and i will check it out to see if its still there ..

Bogonghazy and I did the sums and searched GZ and stretched our search for about 20 metres around GZ. We came away empty handed. Thanks for the hunt though RedPaw64, I'll return again another time.

Sorry for the late log, that makes 3 DNF's, with Sully's still to come

Did all the calculations and came up with the location. Spent 15mins searching GZ but to no avail. Rechecked calculations but no issue there. Found what would have been a perfect hidey hole at the exact coords but no cache there so suspect it may have been muggled?

This find relied on my maths skills to work out the coordinates, luckily it was my best subject at school, so piece of cake. Geokid1 is getting good at entering the coordinates. Fortunately it was quiet, so minimal risk of mugglers.
Enjoyable geocache! Watch out for the darn mozzies.

This one was a bit harder (compared to the other cache in this park). Thankfully we had some paper and a pen to write down all the answers and do the calculations. Rhys went around the playgrounds and told me the numbers we needed to work out the location. It was Tahlia's turn to find this one, but I got so excited I yelled out when I found it. However, I let her get it out of its hidey spot so we could sign the log book. Hid the cache again, off to the next one.

Great cache, good work putting it together! Tftc

Find # 2967

Well, on the road again with my regular caching partner in crime SedgwickDave on our normal weekend caching run. This week we decided to head to Geelong and then on to Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. The weather was looking cool, but rain free, so we headed off at about 8AM.

It was almost time to start thinking about heading back home, but not before finding just a few more caches!! After gathering the required numbers with the help of my scribe, we quickly headed over towards GZ where I managed to find the cache in the second spot I checked. Cache was a bit exposed, so I covered it slightly better.

Thanks to RedPaw64 for the cache. TNLN

Maths didn't work out. After 3 tries gave up. Bit of clarity would help re monkey bar rungs.

Grabbed this as one of about 40 in a nice weekend down on the coast.. It was the last weekend before I started back at work. I was keen to cache, and was encouraged down this way by the chance to Orienteer, Body Board and Cache.. I ended up also staying the night, although the original plan of attending an event at Ballan didn't eventuate.. Had a great weekend, thanks to the various cache owners for your part in a great weekend..

I counted up the required info, however stumbled on a count that didn't work out.. It was obvious I couldn't get it right.. a quick PAF did the trick, and although he didn't have the coords, the description saw that I found it in the first place I looked.. (some how).. Thanks Red Paw 64 for the cache.. Find #3368

Got a bit confused with the coords after an incorrect count by the team on one of the hides. Quickly worked out our mistake and found the cache. Good little hide thanks!

Mosquitoes,algebra and a
Lego skeleton.tftc.

Good fun. Learned lesson to take some scrap paper when geocaching to do workings.

First day of spring and the mossies are out and about. [:{|>

Good little twist having the maths problem description!! Left 'marley' dog tags.

We've been to this park before - thankfully we didn't get attacked by mozzies like last time. I messed up the co-ords the first time. When they were fixed it was a quick find. TFTC (thanks for the Cigarette) that was in with the log book, We removed it from the cache.

Found @ 21:50 on a weekend getaway with the family. Everyone else had gone to bed so I figured that I'd grab a few nearby caches. This was the closest. Night makes for an easier visit to a play ground (unless I bring one of the kids), but makes gathering clues harder.
I counted and performed the arithmetic then made the short stroll to GZ. My coordinates had me at a different structure but my cache sense told me to look elsewhere. Bingo, cache in hand.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and I'm not sure that a cigarette is an appropriate cache swap (but I left it where I found it).
Thanks for the cache RedPaw64.

Found it with mrblue on a very hot day. Looked for this about a year ago, when it had gone AWOL. Better luck this time.

The playground was surprisingly deserted today, so this multi became an easy task. Took TB. Thanks for the hide.

Found with rexlee. TNLN TFTC.

A nice and clear multi, esay find and good hide. Just a few muggles in the area, but they were busy on the playground or walking their dogs.

Found @1225 #1034
Was down at Queenscliff today as the GF was completing her diving course and therefore had the day free to pickup some caches in the surrounding area.

This was the 9th cache found today. After gathering the required info soon at a GZ that made sense, an easily quick find. Today there was no one around which made it easier, but of others maybe not so much.

TFTC RedPaw64.

Pathfinder24 needed to make the trip to Queenscliff to pick up a puzzle cache we had solved, so there was no better excuse needed to pick up some other caches in Geelong on the way through. I had solved a few other puzzle caches ready for this trip but I am a big fan of multi’s and as this cache was on the way to the Ripper Cam, we decided to stop. It was still really warm, and there was a massive birthday party going on in the park, but they were staying firmly at their food, so we were able to collect the clues and the cache with ease. Thanks for the cache RedPaw64

Another days caching adventure with LouiseAnn, this time we had the pleasure of her long suffering no caching partner as our driver. With a number of puzzle caches in the area worked out - and one in a particular devilish series, we were keen to head down the 'other' side of the bay. LouiseAnn's partner was also picking up a shiny toy from the area. At more typical start time of around 09:30 we met at the work depot and headed off down the ridiculously boring road to Geelong. This was a quick find on our way to ripper cam. There was a large muggle party going on in the park but thankfully they were staying at the other end to where we needed to go. We got the clues from the car then took a quick stroll to the cache. This was find number 7 for the day. The cache is in good condition. Thanks for the cache RedPaw64.

Found just before the heavens opened. TFTC
Bingami and Bushrangers Womens Walking Club

No 5 in a day of caching around Ocean Grove with Mincka and Bushrangers Walking Club. Right near where we were staying. TFTC

Third find of the day. Quickly corrected an error in my addition and had this one in hand quite quickly. Was also very pleased to find Eastern Rosellas who were not camera shy! TFTC

Back by chance today, was on the way back down to Queenscliff to finish a few I printed out 8months ago, but unfortunately Geo-son, broke his shoulder in between the first and second that day. I put the iPhone in search mode and saw that this one was back up. After being the final DNF log I would like to say thanks to RedPaw64 for getting it back up and running again. PS Winter/Spring is much better than summer as far as the "Air Force" goes down this way. TFTC TNLN.

Ok I have been down and set up a new cache here. Its all good to go...

Happy Caching....

I intend to get down to this cache today and put another one down there so I can get this cache up....

I intend to have this cache up within 2 weeks or before ...

Checked this cache out. Seems the tree that the cache was is burnt so no idea where the cache is now guess it may have been muffled or burnt . Will replace as soon as possible thanks?

disabling this cache, on reports something has changed I will get down there and check it out..

Like the last log, we ended up at a hole in the ground. Double and tripple checked everthing. Still nothing. Phoned a freind who had previously found and his hints didn't help. I think something has changed. Have contacted the owner and waiting on a reply.

2nd last cache for the day. Calculations were easy and GZ found (?) but only spot was an empty hole about right size for cache. May wait and see if others find and then try again. It hasn't been logged for a few months.

Last morning hunting around this area before ferry to Sorronto.
Found it with Crank1 and Laker63.
Mozzies, mozzies, mozzies everywhere!
Lucky Laker63's husband walked back to the vechile to grab a pest spray and return to us.
After spray ourselves.. mozzies doesnt bother us.. phew!!!

On way to home via Sorrento ferry after stayed at Ocean Grove with Alchemy2, Laker63.
No muggles there today because we arrived there early in the morning. It's my 1500th Caches.
Found it

on the way from ferry queenscliff to sorrento....

After a visit to KYO, Mr Snoop & OzzieBear set out to find this cache. A nice easy find on a very quiet day but those mozzies!!! TFTC RedPaw64

OzzieBear & MrSnoop fought off the mozzies to log this cache. A very nice area which we didn't know existed. Thanks RedPaw64.

We are visiting this lovely town this weekend and went to KYO and the car GPS went "ding" lol so a calculating we must go!!
Nice reserve and yes the mozzies made a meal out of JMelb too!!!

This cache has caused some confusion with answers to questions. I did find the problem and the council added another playground and the questions were set for one playgorund not 2.

All ready to go now.

Happy Caching .

Found by Team Ladava with the Grandchildren around 1.15pm
A very pleasant multi. We all enjoyed this one.
Babysitting the Grandchildren is a great excuse for caching.
The kids let of some steam on the play equipment and the better half of Team Ladava chatted to a fellow dog owner while I did the calculations.
We were probably lucky to find this one as I was rather amused to see the recent alterations to the cacher notes.
We were working on the old version printed out in 2007 as it has been on my 'top do' list for a long time and it still worked for me
No. 1 grandson was determined to take the key ring and in our rush to get down from Sunbury to pick them up, I forgot the swaps so left a $2 coin. Sorry
Our thanks to RedPaw64 for bringing us to this location and the cache.

After a few days (weeks) without serious caching we thought it was about time to get back into it, and we chose this cache to "cut our teeth". Wow, what a wintery afternoon. While waiting for the showers to pass to locate “Find The Monkey”, we were able to play with the numbers for this cache. In what could have been confusing monkey business we luckily came up with the correct co-ords - after sorting out a possible ambiguity; and quickly found the sought object, before proceeding to do “Find The Monkey”.
We think there is plenty of room in the log book – all you have to do is log in the reverse direction.

TNLN . . SL . . TFTH RedPaw64.

The first time I went to find this I messed up because I included ALL the swings at the playground in my calculations, not just the ones closest to Me.
But the second time round I found it easily!
Very good hiding spot! Replaced it just as well as I found it!
TFTC!!!

The playground equipment at this cache had changed so I have now redone this and the cache is good to go. The Logbook also needs replacing but I didn't have a spare one but will replace it soon..
Happy Caching

easy enough find once muggle dog walkers had passed. no trouble with co'ords for me. tftc

Hi there. I realise that some of the playground equipment has been removed, replaced or upgraded and I will make every effort to get down there as soon as I can.....

Found it while walking the dog ,great hide..........

Couldn't work out the right coords but the Monkey Man from nearby cache said that part of the playground has recently been removed which explains why we were so far out. May need some readjustment done on this one. He pointed us in the general direction and we explored until we came up with the goods. Ta Muchly.

We worked out the co-ords and then arrived at GZ. After a search we re checked them and found they were correct.
A bit more of a search and we found the cache well hidden.
Our dog loved the park and we saw another 6 dogs there having fun.
TFTC

I never could get the Co-ordinates to work out but I stumbled around until I located the cache. Once I spied GZ I knew it was the site I was looking for. Nice walk around the place. Thanks for the cache. Took "BRACELET" Left "SNAPPY BAG SEAL" TFTC

Found, but only with help from themonkeygrove, thanks all!

Suscoe completed the tasks quickly and had GZ in sight quite soon.
A nice walk and there it was.
Took jumping bean left horse.

Found quite easily

mucked up the maths but eventualy found it.

Maths went well and the chauffeur soon located it. No exchanges but TFTC . Fairly quiet here today

Thought we had worked out the maths incorrectly, but forgot that the GPS isn't millimetre perfect. Still new to the game, but found it eventually.

My first geocache. Found it with hubby (kenscollection)

1st of three for the day - Mozzies really bad

First find of the month. in the rain, chased by mossies, that why we love caching.! Quick find as the maths worked first time.

this took forever to do, as we suck at math, [:p] indiana08 and I finaly found it, was a little tricky to get out of its hidey hole, tftc

Found this one but had to check our maths 3 times... I think we may have got over excited or maybe should have used a calculator. Cache was a little tricky to get out of the hiding spot.

Tried a few times, rechecked the counting and maths, but was unable to locate.
Will contact RedPaw64 with my findings and maths.

Marshall's Geelong found this cache at 10am

Tried the math 5 times the math was still wrong but we had a counting error and then a math error, but on the 5 try we got it right and my geocaching eyes spotted the cache.

Some Easter Sunday caching was in order so we made a short journey down to Barwon Heads from our tent pitched at Portarlington.
Spent some time at what we thought was GZ for this one. Checked recent logs to find that The Empire had been there a few days earlier so made the call out to him for an idea where the cache was lurking!

Got the maths OK, I still sometimes doubt my ability to not stuff something up, but I'm doing OK. Nice quick stroll to GZ and had it in pretty short order.

Well done. Did not take too long after we fixed up our calculations DOOOOH!!!

Either my calculations were out or the coordinates were a smidge off, as I spent too long looking just a little east of where I needed to be (only a few metres, mind you). Having finally found the cache, I then had trouble extricating it as it was fitting a bit tightly in its hiding spot. At one point I thought I might have to endure the frustration of having had my hands on it but being unable to log it, but at last I triumphed. Phew! A pretty park suffering in the drought. Thanks RedPaw64.

It took me a little while to find this 1 but got it eventually nice hide Tn Ln TFTC redpaw64

Found today with WB-Holden and Steph95 at 4:10pm. Never been here before and seems like a nice spot for a BBQ. Did the math (must start bringing a calc') and easy find. Thanks RedPaw64.

The great thing about caching; it's an ideal way to find out about a place. On the bike for an early monring ride, did this one and Banksia. TNLN. T4TC

Did the initial visit just before dark the previous night - completed the "homework" and came back this morning for a find. There were several council workers nearby, so went to the toilet and wandered around studying the different varieties of trees! The workers were apparently mulching trees nearby so I hpe this cache remains safe! A clever hide - TNSL Thanks Redpaw64

second time around finally found it

Found this cache after a trip to Geelong to visit the grand parents and decided to head down to Ocean Grove to check out where we used to live. We love this area and now feel very sad that we are not living here anymore, maybe one day we can move back.
We were stumped by this cache for a while and as it was getting dark we nearly gave up but persisted and found the cache just before we lost the last bit of light. very clever hiding spot.
thanks for the cache.

Beautiful day nice place for kids to run off energy, clues worked well. took ? left soldier

Found this one at 18:25 on the way back to Mumsy and Pater's. A nice one to finish the day and a very clever hide.
