Short-stuff has never seen The Simpsons, but the titles of these caches really appeal to her five-year-old sense of humour. So, to keep both of us amused, we decided a drive in the hills was in order.

Another lone scramble, up the bank and a quick find. This really is a beautiful area to drive or ride.

I always enjoy a pee with a view...

#918

something is stinky

Even when you think you are in the middle of nowhere those darn cars just keep on appearing and Ivana Tinkle!! TFTC

Found @0920 #1618
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.

After parking the car the likly hide was spotted from a distance and thanks to my goat climbing skills I was soon at GZ with cache in hand soon afterwards. TFTC homerjay73 first of yours found today.

Find # 1764

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 one was a nice quick driveby, we parked in the only place available and walked the short distance to GZ for a nice quick find. Waited for a couple of cars to pass before returning to the car.

Thanks again to homerjay73 for the cache. TNLN.

Found it during a night run, well hidden. Pencil need sharpening and I didnt have one on me

Did not need to tinkle but i found the cache easily anyway. The most treacherous moments were walking along the road to get to gz. TFTC.

TFTC

Nice easy find once we climbed up the hill! TFTC

Caching with Team HB. Nice and quickie. Cheers!

I need to pee!

Found @ 11:43


5th find of 17 for the day with my caching partner Fusilade who had this found before I was barely out of the car.


TFTC

I scrambled up to get this one while BubblzDee watched on.

I parked near the lake (trying to avoid blocking the gate that didn't look like it had had much use recently - for a few minutes I thought it would do no harm) and followed a well worn path up the hill and crossed the road. The cache was soon found and logged.

Take care coming back down - I found the surface very loose and slippery and I skidded down almost onto the road!...

TFTC

A nice easy find on our drive through this beautiful part of the country . There are parrots living inside the tree going by the feathers at the base and the scratching noises coming from inside. Thanks again HJ73

Lots of wildflowers about on this gorgeous sunny day.

Cheers homerjay73, thanks for bringing me to this great spot.

Geoff n kylee with Sam and Sarah found on an overcast spring day.

Sooo we picked a wet day to look for this one which made the easy terrain rating much more difficult but lots of fun Be careful if you are looking on a wet day :p

gps was spinning us around here. we walked around for a while then saw a track.

{75} Found with GeoDad @14:00. Left Marble, Took Nothing.

Found 12:05, after a breif search.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks homerjay73.

26/04/2011 16:22 Found: #427 I an still on my way to Nest-le and I saw this second cache popup as a drive-by. I stopped near a sign and crossed the road. Up the bank and straight to the obvious location. This was the quickest one so far today. I sat on the ground to sign the log and enjoy the serenity. TFTC TNLN SL

Found easily, gps took me right to it, just uncovered it and had it in my hand. Nice location. TFTC

A quick stop in the rain, with Alansee waiting for me in the car. It got a little slippery but managed to get to and back from GZ without any incidents. TFTC

Found after a quick look, TNLNSL TFTC

3.05 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. Left Mr Xambo to watch the car while I took the short quick way up. Nice easy find, a sign and off to our next find. . Thanks for the cache
TNLN

Found during a run around the run-bys. Thanks.

Found by The Empire @ 3:12pm with pocketrocket&friends (Even though she had already found this cache!)
Find number 15 of 17 in pocketrocket territory today. Last GC.com cache for the day. Thanks for the cache, homerjay73.

12th of 23 finds for the night during a night cache run with Blacklegend17. Quick find. TFTC.

10th of 21 on another night caching run with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671). Quick find and TFTC.

good spot for a cache strangely there was a fair bit of traffic today but we were undetected tftc

Quick find on a cold day in company with Slink1 TFTC TNLN SL

quick find with Dunko on a day out caching TNLN TFTC SL

Found on another mega day caching with bogonghazy. We didn't tinkle, but after a long run in the car probably should have.

Nice quick find in the company of Reesylou.
Thanks again to HJ73 for another Simpson's themed cache, SL

Nice hide. Bit of passing traffic. T.N.L.N.

This one took us quite some time. TFTC, TNLN.

Found while on a caching day out - tftc tnln

Nice quick stop on our geocaching route today, thanks

Found at 4.40pm on an afternoons caching in the area - our 5th The wildlife seems to be active around here. TNLN TFTC

A nice easy find at 13:15. It's so satisfying when the GPS takes you right to it.

Lovely area especially on a mild autumn afternoon.

TNLN. TFTC.

Not logged until 28/11/2011.
Many thanks for the cache.

Found at 1430hrs, nice location and very friendly muggles that wanted to assist me cos i looked lost

Found at 0900 hours, nice spot for Ivana Twinkle, but didn't require one then.
Great hide as with all the one I found today.

Nice Hide, Ihada Tinkle at an earlier cache T4TC

Located at 1648 hours - came towards GZ from the right direction. TN left 2 marbles. High muggle area on 4 wheels

the idea about the tinkle was put to good use

Found 11.15am
Found by Mrs Keeper on one of the rare times that she took control of the power of the GPSr while I grabbed a quick drink. She took the woosie way to GZ rather than the manly direct approach that I would have made.

TNLNSL

Thanks homerjay73

It was reasonably quiet along here today so I parked where suggested and scrambled up the bank for a cache.
Thanks homerjay.

Nice quick find while on a day caching out this way. Thanks for the cache.

Queen Jnr, with myself and the kids in the car.

Out for a nice drive after visiting friends.

Thanks again HJ

We were out for a late afternoon threesome and this was first.Her knee is still healing so we took a gentler, roundabout way of walking to GZ. A good spot and well hidden. TNLN Thanks HJ73.

Nice spot for a cache, although the race across the afternoon traffic was a bit tighter than we would've liked. Boys had a good peek at the cat(?) skull nearby, so their afternoon was made.

TNLN TFTC

Located by Rubus Pickers at 2.50 pm on 30/09/09 after a steep climb. We were out in the neighbourhood to drop off a cache up the road. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache Homerjay73.

Wow you were right about the steep climb. Found it at 1.20pm.
Thanks for the view - signed log, took key ring and left 3 soldiers.
Thanks,
Shadowwomen

Find # 359 @ 15:05
Nice easy one. TNLNSL TFTFTC

Once we had the car parked safely we clambered up to find the cache. Thanks homerjay73 for the cache.

A nice rural drive by, once we let the gps settle. The day wasn't so warm by now with the clouds coming over.

I found this cache at 11:15am as the 4th of 14 today. Thanks for the cache from D B-A.

We had just stopped near GZ, when people in a 4WD stopped and asked if we nneded help, I think they though we had broken down. A short walk and a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at 11.15am GAFF1 in the company of Rabbitto. Rabbitto took off wanting to find this one first, but we parked about 90 metres away, so I had a chance to catch up and search along the fence line. After poking around a few spots the cache was found and then we noticed that we could have just about parked opposite GZ.
Thanks homerjay73

Actually this spot seemed quite busy with cars coming and going all directions including one that stopped and asked if we needed help. After assurances that we didn't we soon had the cache signed sealed and delivered.
Thanks homerjay73

I did too!! thanks for the effort, great idea for a cache name.
SLLNTNTFTCACHE!!

yes...ivana tinkle...so off i go hahaha

Ivana Tinkle I said and sure enough found a likely spot. What there'a a cache here too!! Quick log, lunch and off. Thanks homerjay73.

Find # 2838 and 13th of the day at 12:56 pm. Accompanied by 1 half of the Swaggies team on another Sunday out caching. Easy find, left the GPS in the car, we had a peaceful lunch here. TNLN, Left my mark in the log, Thanx Homerjay73...

Found on Victorian invasion trip with Big Matt and The Rats.

I am familiar with these type of cache containers.

TFTC!

Here with Big Matt and Steeba as part of our Vic invasion weekend. Just as we found it some cyclist rode around the corner.
thanks

Found this cache on our Victorian Invasion trip with Steeba and The Rats. Another prank call to Moe, another cache. A nice quick find.

Thanks homerjay73 for the cache.

TNLNSL

Another familiar location that I've been past a number of times over the last year or so. I could see a cache trail forming as I approached and sure enough it lead straight to the cache hide. I had to duck out of view from a couple of cars but there were no problems other than that.

Found by Bob at 1105

I rather like traveling around this area - it's quite relaxing as it's far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the more populous areas, but the satnav knows all about the roads and they're generally nice to drive on and it's quite picturesque too . Anyway, as GZ approached, I wasn't too worried about a parking spot as I've done enough HJ73 caches to know he doesn't like to walk too far and, sure enough, I was able to park within 20m of GZ and the cache was a nice, quick find. I must admit to wondering if it really was a HJ73 cache at first, as it's a Sistema and very nicely painted too - looked more like a Bigglesbear container!

TNLN, but did take to geocoin

Thanks again HomerJ73

Found by Mary & David at 1220. A nice quick find in such a pretty area. Dropped off 'The Travel Slug Geocoin # 1'. Our thanks again to homerjay73.

The second of the two newies in this area this morning and the third of an HJ73 trilogy. A nice easy find at 09:20. We were also amazed at all the trucks that were going by this spot, which we guessed related to the rebuilding of the nearby communities after the devastating and tragic fires of a couple of months ago.

TNLNSL, although our 1st traveller into the cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks again homerjay73.

Found by PR&F on 16/4/09 @ 9.10am
Was this early enough for a FTF?
Not quite- beaten by only 20 mins.
As I say to my grade- You snooze, you lose. I lost.
Lovely drive, my PT did not like the gravel roads! Came home an easier and more direct way.
TFTC HJ, keep it up!

So many trucks along this road. Had to time the road cross with my little one. Looked weird, some guy with a little girl on the side of the road. Oh well.
Left a keyring.

TFTC bro

Found at 1700hrs, and ditto Lead Scout, looked pretty weird with 2 kids in tow trying to get to this cache. Lots of traffic at this time of the day as well. Some locals I suspect wanting some privacy after the events of recent weeks. But....was in the area for lunch with friends, so could not resist a quick cache on the way home! Took nothing, left smiley face and plastic toy.

Found with scout junior. At first I was on the side of the road but when all the trucks had gone, over we went. Left a keyring. Ta bro
