I am the lizard queen!! Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia
By homerjay73 on 15-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19D1T

Couldn't see this one, I was searching at night. However I shone the torch everywhere I could, looked in most every spot from all angles, still no sign.

?is this heaven?

Heading to places north easterly of Melbourne this afternoon and needed a leg stretch after fighting Thursday afternoon traffic and saw a couple fo drive by caches in Whittlesea. After seeing muggles near the nearby one I headed for this one instead. Parked over the road and crossed the road (busy at this time) to head to GZ. Whilst waiting for the oregon to fire up I used the iPhone to get me close when I spied a likely hide which has the cache hiding within so retrieved it, signed the log (in some whitespace on a page) and replaced, all before the oregon was ready! Thanks to homejay73 for this one. Log is pretty full and could use replacement!

Super easy. Thanks xxx

Another quick easy find with Erin-Rose and TezzyTot and geodogs. TFTC

Thanks homerj73 nice easy cache with two friends and two geodogs

Found @ 16:10 with shogun on a trip to Kinglake. I happened to park in the closest location possible (without going off trail). Shogun stood back and watched me search, which didn't take long.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache homerjay73

Nice easy find on a caching trip around the area. A good day out with good company.

On our caching run through Kinglake/Whittlesea. This one was a walk up for Covert. Nice easy find!

13:05
Approaching from the opposite side of the park, I was able to home in on GZ from a distance without any trouble before entering the fuzzy zone. The little container was in my hands soon after. It's nice to do the occasional uncomplicated homerjay hide.

#608

Our last find for the weekend! Picked up this one quickly signed the log and were on our way home.

A quick find as we wanted to get out of the shade and back into the lovely warm sun. No lizards or queens at GZ. TFTC

Found @1146 #1629
Today was another epic cache run with best mate ahomburg thru an area of Melbourne I have not visited until today. This was one of 32 found and we also had a few DNFs.

Was able to park quite close to GZ and ahomburg was able to make the quick find, a nice drive by. Not to many people seen today, but this location could be hard during warmer days. TFTC homerjay73 another of yours found today.

Find # 1775

After a late night at the WWFM IX event in the city and just three hours sleep, I was picked up by my caching partner in crime, sedgwickDave and we headed in a northerly direction towards Whittlesea and a massive day of caching.

This was another fairly quick find close to town, a quiet spot today. I think it is nearly lunchtime

Thanks once again to homerjay73 for the cache.

You were right about losing the satellite but I narrowed it down to one of three and found it eventually. TFTC

Easy find, TFTC

Thought that would be harder

log is full and needs replacing

@ 10:14am - what a beautiful day to be out and about and such a fantastic, but not too tricky find!

Well what a huge day caching, this was number 43 for us for the day, Purpledreamer picked up 47, she grabbed four on the way down we all ready had.
It was now very late in the day as we signed the log on the well hidden cache.
Replaced the container and hit the Frog & Toad home, many thanks for the nice hide.

Found at the end of a huge day out with Lostmonster&Co infact this was cache 47 for me and it was dark and very late and we where still hours from home.Nice quick find made by Co.

Found by Team Ladava around 2.45 on our Whittlesea Wander today. A lovely sunny winter's day spoilt only by a chilly breeze.
Well, the better half of Team Ladava came up with the goods for this well hidden cache. That girl's worth marrying (41 years ago)
There is certainly still some evidence of the floods sweeping through the park and it remains very soggy only a few metres from gz.
Our thanks to Homerjay73 for the cache and bringing us to this location.
Cheers

Cache condition – fine

Rated: for Overall Experience

I miraculously found this one quite quickly despite my GPS not liking the overhead coverage, and the cleverly disguised hide. TFTC

I was heading up overnight to Tocumwal-Barooga for Blacklegends Bush Birthday Bash Event and planned to do some caching on the way up. I came past here when the floods where happening and the area around GZ was completely under water. Today not a drop in sight so after a few minutes of searching I fond the cache, well hidden too. Thanks homerjay73.

Log full. Just squeezed the visit on.
TFTC

Found at 1:40pm with auscachia.
Like other logs have said, the coords went a little crazy, but found it in the end.
Log is full. SL TFTC

Found at 16:42 on way home from Kinglake & having done a couple of caches whilst visiting rellos. SL, TFTC

Found with adamandmichelle and our geobaby at 1340. Great hide. Tftc

Found on our way to family in Melbourne & had some time to grab some caches. A nice little hide which was retrieved between the passing traffic. Many thanks homerjay.

Sats did drop out close to gz so we approached from the other side with more luck to narrow down the search. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Top hide!
Looking, looking, Gotcha ....... took a bit of time to find

Good hide, great spot. Tftc

Tftc. Great hide in a nice easy location. GZ was soggy due to rain so lucky we brought the 4x4. easy to hide from Muggles

Nice hide, lots of jogging muggles around this one, had to wait around to get this cache. SLTNLN T4TC

Quick easy find with a few funny looks from a passing bike rider. Nice little cache, very well hidden

Today we had a new cacher with us and introduced her to this new world. Tftc tnln

Found with TrynaFindaCached on a small run over in Whittlesea area. Our GPS took us in the right direction but from there we were blind. we looked in the small places and eventually had the cache in hand. TFTC

dipped a GC

Nice easy find with IITom23II once we read the hint , TNLNSL TFTC
MY 50th find

Alansee drove right in, so this got as close as possible to a drive-by... . A nice hide which revealed itself after my GPSr had settled down. TFTC

A short walk in the Park and we did find this one too

Thanks 4TC & Greetings from Switzerland

No Trade

my second attempt at this one last time it was dark but i found it fine this time

Found with shokko

Full book. Very popular cache

10.45 Just the two of us out today trying my new birthday present. Its working well and I think I will keep it. The best thing about country caching is there is no one about to pressure you. We took time out to drive around the affected areas of the dreadful bush fires of some 13 months ago. They have done a wonderful job in the rebuilding, and vegetation has come back so quickly, it is such a lovely area to come to.
This was a quick drive by and our first on to log for the day. Nice little piece of coverup there.
TFTC

Found by The Empire @ 2pm with pocketrocket&friends (Even though she had already found this cache!)
Find number 8 of 17 in pocketrocket territory today. Luckily, the mud has sort of dried up and the short walk from the car wasn't a total disaster. Thanks for the cache, homerjay73.

Found it and it's getting dark now. 8.44 pm

Yes the log book is full.

Quick Drive by find with The Quiet Plodder and Little Gnome. TFTC

I enjoyed the clue on this one, which literally shows you the way. It was gluggy underfoot and we left plenty of imprints so you could readily follow our search pattern! Found with Little Gnome and Dylan 7a. Thank you to 'homerjay73' for the Cache, its nifty hide and location, in a part of Victoria I had never visited before.

Great hide very muddy under foot due to floods. TNLN

log book full, needs replacing

Moes must be open now..cause everything looks bigger after a duff!!! TFTC( were from sheblyville)

bigger than what i thought TFTC

I'm the cache queen lol TFTC

Stopped by on the way back from raspberry picking - a great cache - signed log book but now it is full TFTC

Tricky hide!!! TNLN SL TFTC

Found @ 16:20 hrs after a long search as there are numerous spots it could have been in.Thanks homerjay73.

A wet muddy queen is more like it. One Beetle took the sensible approach but the other one [me] came from the other side. Not only did my thongs get stuck in the mud but they also flicked mud all up my back. Rinsed the bulk of the mud off in a nearby drain. A quick but messy find for one of us. Thanks.

Quite a bit of mud still....Quickly found with the first guess, then walked around several others to leave misleading tracks in the mud.....Thanks.

26 November 2010 | 11:14 AM found not only the cache but a lizard! Cool looking one too. What a coincidence. Thanks, love a micro. Trees played with the gps.

Found on this rainy day.
Bit muddy around GZ, but still a nifty little hide.
TFTC

Out on a night time caching run to clean up the Yan Yean area. The forecast was for 60 - 100mm so I was expecting to get wet tonight. Parked on the side of the road only to find the whole park under water. GZ would have been 30 - 40 cm under water and couldn't get to within 4m of it. The nearby creek was totally over flowing and the foot path under water. Will come back another time.

Found by Greg 1630H 28/10/10. Love these clever hides. TFTC.

King Jnr with both geoprinces meters away in the car.

We had had a fun day and was returning from the "In Back to the Beginning - 10 years of Vic caching!" event in Strah Creek. We cameback via Flowerdale and Kinglake, we hadn't come that way since Black Saturday - a pause for reflection as we drove.

Our thanks again to HomerJay.

10/10/2010 01:22 Found: #70 Driving home from the Back to the Beginning event (GC2E2HF http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=5e201e50-f548-4b29-9882-7ae8be1b1a56) I wanted to collect this one. Well hidden, had the wrong tree at first but with the help of he hint, finally got it. TFTC TNLN SL

A nice easy find, on the way to Strath Creek. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Nice easy find with crank1 after attending an event.

Easy to find.
Quiet area. no muggles..
Found it with Alchemy2

Last find for the day, and indeed for our holidays...

This cache had a touch of 'needle in a haystack' about it, even with the clue... But eventually spotted it tucked away in its hide.

TFTC.

Easy find. TFTC!

Found on another mega day caching with bogonghazy. It is small, but so am I and it was right at my eye level so easy to spot.

Quick find after stopping for lunch in Wittlesea with Reesylou.
My thanks to HJ73 for another of your great series of caches, SL

quick and easy find. TFTC.

TFTC, Found with Geodaddy RudiC

Cache number two with Rudi C and friends very glad that we set out in the 4WD as it is quite muddy. We were still giddy after our first find for the day and sharp eyes and quick wits found this in no time at all. Back in the car and onto the next cache!

Our Second cache finding, out with Cherub_child and family. brother in law soon had cache in hand and we were on our way TNLN SL

2nd of 11 for the night. Yes, the tree cover does throw the GPSr a little bit. However, after applying a bit of logic and between the heavy "Muggle" traffic driving past, was able to make a pretty easy find.

Found nice and quick. Log book has about 10 pages vacant.

Found at 4.15pm
Found immediately in the first place I looked,
For this team, that's unusual.

Thanks
K&M

Found this while returning from a day out with crustyvarmint . TFTC, TNLN.
