Spent the day in the area caching, no work, phone off, emails off, just exploring and hunting for boxes. Hoping for over 100 today. TFTC
Out for an hours caching this morning. Parked in the carpark and went for a walk. Found after a short search. TFTC
Found it a bit too easily, unfortunately I think the weather or muggles might have uncovered it! Out caching with my husband after a few years drought of caching together! TFTC.
Found at 1438. Still in the area after the Vic mega last weekend. a quick find. TFTC.
**Find #836**
A fun cache at a great location.
We were driving through Wallington today, and I haven't been caching for ages, so I thought I might pick this up today for a souvenir.
We parked close by, and were greeted by pretty views. We had a brief search before turning up trumps. Quickly uncovered the cache, signed the logbook and replaced the cache as we found.
TFTC H_3, thanks for a nice easy cache at a nice place. I could C A ferris wheel now, but I wonder where the windmill used to be. Well done.
Cache and log in good condition.

After finding clues for solving 2 other caches in Ocean Grove, I wanted a quick actual find on the way home. This was it. Nice hide after a what is that moment. Didn't even know this was a reserve. It's pretty this time of year, with green grass and yellow oxalis growing. Tftc.
Took us a while to find and then soon to find it was right in front of our faces. Thanks for the hide.
Found today no one here except me, Lots of traffic on the road of course. No wheels of any kind to be seen here, except the car!! Great stopping place, many thanks for the cache.
Out for the day after the paper plane event in rippleside this morning. With autumntree and the geokids as team autumn. Hopefully we'll find a few today.

Team Autumn (AutumnCS the geokids and I) visited this cache. Quick find. Cache in good condition. TFTC.
We took advantage of the break in the weather to add a few more caches to our list of finds.
Quite a pretty spot to stop and take in the sights- it would be a great place to have a picnic on a sunny day. We've driven past many times but have never really noticed this area was here. Great view of the nearby Ferris wheel from the car park.
Nice quick find thanks to good coordinates and hint.
Log signed and replaced, and reinstated with some camo. TFTC

Nice, easy find today. Cache is within 2 to 3m of co-ords. Cache and log in good condition, signed and returned as found.
This was the second search for this one. I was out here a couple of weeks ago and had a good search for it without any luck. I noticed it had been found since and the name change suggested CO had been to check on it so I decided to have another look. It was an easy find in a spot I'd searched thoroughly last time so it seems it had moved at some stage for one reason or another. Thanks for the cache and hide RedPaw64.

Find #2481. Found @ 17:19 with LouiseAnn.
The plan for today was to get out and about the kayaks to gather a T5 or 3, everything else was just winging it - more or less. This was one that we were passing, and I had logged a DNF on it way back on 02/09/2012. Well, it has been a long time coming, but now I have that smiley.
The coordinates were a bit out for us today, and I had some battery problems (i.e. I changed my flat batteries over to some other flat ones and then the GPSr gave up). If it were not for the clue, I reckon that another DNF would be on the cards.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache H_3

As we were driving along, SirJ-Oz exclaimed suddenly that we should pull in here. This cache had caused him issues in the past. I decided we could drive to the cache, as there was a pole missing. At the last minute, I remembered the boats on the roof of the car and didn't drive under the trees towards the cache. Phew. We walked and after a short hunt, SirJ-Oz found the cache, no where near where he looked before, or where the GPS was pointing us. We picked this cache up at 5:13pm.
After having boated our way around Lake Connewarre for a few hours, we were knackered and spent the rest of the day light hours picking up a few easier caches as we headed back towards Geelong and dinner, then the road back to Melbourne. It was a long but satisfying day!

Thanks for the great hide. Found with The Sims Family. We found the cache but no windmill. Found a Ferris Wheel instead.
After spending a wonderful day with the Routley Family at Adventure park we decided that with this across the road we would give it a go on the way home. We couldn't see any Windmills and after some discussion with think that Adventure Park used to have a Windmill on the way into the park but it isn't there anymore.
Anyway the Coordinates brought us to somewhere near where GZ was but was out by a good few meters but we hunted in the logical spots and soon came up with the find. Thanks H_3 for continuing the cache that RedPaw64 placed quite some time ago

Staying with the hubby and the geokids (5 & 6) on the Bellarine for a few days of relaxation before school/kinder starts back on Monday. We headed down here for a looksie this morning and a quick cache or two! A quick find here in a deserted place. Many thanks
Found it today before the kidlets. Usually they beat me to it. Thanks that was fun (signed log as kptwit68)
I knew there was a cache here from participating in the Geelong Monopoly event last year, however never remembered to stop when going past! Today we included a stop here in our plans after mad GeoHubby competed in the Rip View Swim down in Point Lonsdale. Finding this nice little cache didn't take too long at all!
TFTC!

So I needed a cache for the very first day of the year, and my premium subscription had run out so with a basic membership I did a search while in Barwon heads having lunch and this cache popped up, funnily enough I had been here several times to have a look because this reserve used to belong to my family. The edsalls, (my great, great grandparents) gave the council this land in their will! Thanks for placing this cache here
After a lovely day out at the near by amusement, we just couldn't head home with out trying for this little one, sneaky hide but located, signed and replaced. Thanks for bringing us to this place and TFTC

Found with Flora1111. I noticed this park on a drive yesterday and thought it looked very pretty with the willow trees. I thought it would be a great place for a cache and when I checked I was happy to see there was one. We stopped by today and found it and enjoyed the scenery and had a bit of a laugh. Tftc!
On our way down to Point Lonsdale to grab a couple of caches before heading back to Tassie this arvo. A nice quick find. TFTC.
On our way home from a pleasant afternoon in the Queenscliff area, Mrs one-eyed and I and our Daughter and Son In Law Imapom and their Jack Russell Woody decided one more cache, as the weather was looking rather nasty.
Found this one okay.

Moving Day, headed to Geelong where we are camped at the showgrounds.
After a lunch break we headed out to start on the GTQ Trail. Hubby took his bike while I walked my section. A variety of caches found in all sorts of locations.

Found with Jimmytherat. Lovely pleasant peaceful place to stop on way home. Very pretty. Nice hide. TFTC
How do you fill in a long weekend[?]
Head to Geelong with Mogni and Brisal5 for an event and a few days caching!
All up, I found 141 caches , attended 1 event and had 6 DNFs
We did a few series and enjoyed them, we met Bushfire and enjoyed learning about his considerable knowledge of Geelong's caches and we met Team Autumn and several other interstate teams while having a blast during the Geelong-Opoly 2015 event! [^]
All in all, a fantastic weekend.
Found this cache while participating in the Geelong-Opoly 2015 event.
Yes, it was there and I think I even saw a windmill too

In Geelong for the Monopoly event with brisal5 and locus cache. We managed to grab this one while competing.... we were never going to win so we might as well grab some caches
This cache caused some GPS issues..... only use your own do not try to use someone elses
Thank you

In Geelong for the weekend with Mogni and Locus Cache. Today we are participating in Geelong-opoly 2015 but have realized we are so geographically embarrassed we are not in the top teams. Decided as all the game placements are near local caches we will get them as well. Came out here for the furthest game piece and spent far too long searching for this one but found it eventually. Thanks RedPaw64
