Wow, I can get behind in logs as of late. I just cannot find the motivation to log them at this stage. Well either way why was I in this neck of the woods, well to be completely honest I was in need of some nice walking to hatch some eggs in pokemon go. And I thought to myself that if I do a lap and find a cache for each day I am up in this area then surely it would be worth it. (Yes I know that it was slightly generic for the past week I just felt like playing pokemon go).
Ah I certainly took the long way to work today haha, after doing most of the other caches in the reserve that I know of this week this was one of the last ones that I needed, so with my hiking boots on and my phone all ready I quickly made way to this multi. After a mix up with one of the clues I found myself in an area that was a little to close to the GZ of the other multi but after a correction in my co-ords corrected I was soon to make the find. Anyways thanks for the cache and the little walk around.

Out for a little ride on my own while the wife's at work and kids at school. Nice easy little multi. Unfortunately, the container is not so waterproof and the bag containing the log was not sealed properly. Emptied out about a centimetre of water, signed the soggy log and added a toy.
TFTC

Inside of container had about a centimetre of water in it, and bag containing log was not sealed properly. Log was pretty soggy.

As a relative newcomer to the area I'm afraid I don't remember this reserve without the freeway carving through it. After an equipment fail on a nearby cache I was able to divert past this one on the way back to the car. Read the sign with interest and once I crunched the numbers I was pleased to see it was close by. Had enough time to make my way to GZ where I spotted the cache pretty quickly before having to head back to the car. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the multi cache C@H.

Today we explored Cranbourne and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. After working through the muilti Mrs "T" came up with a set of co-ords, an easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

found it. I'm sure I took the long way to get here but it was a nice walk anyways. Nice spot Tftc.

Over 5 months of unlove on what was a fairly easy cache, even counting the fact that I walked past the memorial and of course then couldn't find the easy trail to the cache.
Thanks for the cache CovertHypnosis
Hunter

PS. Container and log is a bit wet, however I emptied the water as best I could.

It is such a wild windy day but came here to find this cache during my lunch break. On my approach to WP1 I wondered what sort of memorial I would find out in the middle of this park. It only took a moment to see. Gathered the required information very easily and was fortunate that GZ would be on my way back to the car. The cache was a bit damp but was able to put my name to it. TFTC

Thanks, this was my first ever Cache yesterday.

T

Our little team headed out for the first time in awhile, determined to make amends for our last effort with this cache. This time, the correct name was used and we dashed off to GZ..... and couldn't find anything! What was it with this one? 10 minutes of searching and even Mum was declaring this our personal nemesis....... but then Dad re-checked the co-ords he'd punched into the phone........

Funnier how much easier it was to find once we arrived at the **correct** GZ
We signed the log, and emptied the container of a large amount of water that had made it's way in, before heading off for another adventure nearby. TFTC.

Well the Mega is over and time to pack up and head for home. I joined forces with a group from SA and had a ball for four days find many caches and now the job of logging all.
My caching buddies left at 5AM this morning so after cleaning up the unit it time to grab a few caches before hitting the free ways.
Time for one more and this was it so with what I hoped was GZ I headed off and there it was but the log book is fairly wet but it is still writeable.
Thanks C@H for placing this cache.
Time to hit the road.

Another nice compact multi. Seemed like there was some room for interpretation in one question at WP1, so naturally opted for the wrong interpretation initially [can't help wondering whether the preceding DNF did the same], but tried the other option and all was well. Thanks C@H!

Not sure whether it was the cloud cover or just our GPS packing up, but after easily locating WP1 and solving the puzzle, we had no luck finding GZ or anything that resembled the clue. Another attempt will have to follow soon

A lovely bush walk

Very fun, first puzzle ive stumbled across, good area for this cache

Log book wet. Hard to write in. Tftc

Spiffy- and I headed out for what is becoming as regular Sunday Arvo cache run. Collected the clues and found the cache as dusk was setting. TFTC

Today we continued what is becoming an enjoyable and fairly regular Sunday afternoon caching run and today was another afternoon of getting at least 6 multis in the day for a challenge cache we want to collect on a future road trip in a few weeks. Today the weather was absolutely perfect and was great to get back into wearing the shorts again so we could get plenty of scratches on our legs.
-----------------------------------------------
We were on a roll now and already had 7 multis but were having fun so we continued on and arrived at the start point and parked the car near the gate and headed into the reserve.
After gathering the clues we then headed off and did the other multi just up the hill a bit then returned back to this one on the way back to the car to find a very wet cache but luckily the log book was nice and dry so make sure you close that zip lock bag well when returning.
Thanks C@H for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Solved this one about a year ago but every time I have been back, there was either bush walkers, joggers or working crews about. Finally got it today so Woo-Hoo!
TFTC

Find #1361. Found @ 12:25 with LouiseAnn.

Today's plan was to join forces and venture south towards Frankton to focus on multis for LouiseAnn's March Multi challenge.

I'm not sure we went the intended route to WP1, but made it there we did. An interesting item, and we weren't sure if we were paying our respects to a geo-woofer or muggle.

At GZ I found a pen sitting nearby, but left it for the next finder.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache CovertHypnosis.

Since I have declared March to be Multi Month, SirJ-Oz and I decided to head down to Frankston and collect some multi caches. This was one of them. I'm not sure we approached this cache from the best direction, but we made it in eventually. When we arrived the place to collect clues we discussed what the memorial was for, a person of a dog? We picked this cache up at 11:25am. It was only a short distance away and was found quickly. We walked back a longer but easier way.

Thanks for the cache C@H.

Found 9:52:00 AM, during a Labor Day assault on the Peninsula Link Trail, and surrounds.

TNLN, thanks C@H.

Found it.

Nice one in an area thats still quite good.
Thanks C@H.
Chiefton.

found it but in a rush before work did,nt read clue correctly so ignore my bit of log paper, when i work down this way again i will read......and log the correct way TFTC i will return.

Following a rather tortuous route while trying to find our way back to the Peninsula Link trail, we somehow ended up here . In order to make the journey worthwhile, we decided to collect the clues of this one, if not just to put in the final coordinates for a later time. Thankfully though, GZ wasn't too far away so we soon had the stash in hand at 13:50.

TNLNSL. Thanks CovertHypnosis.

Find #4 of a joint ssmc4 & EuDes bike-riding caching adventure along the PLT (which during the day brought up my 1500th find milestone).

Well this one was an adventure! We'd somehow made our way here from the PLT trail on the other side of the freeway and had "fun" navigating the rocky, muddy, sandy tracks on our bikes - with me on a road bike with 23c tyres EuDes spotted the sign at WP1, deciphered the clues and made our way to the GZ for a straightforward find. Hallelulah!

Thanks C@H.

Find # 2491

After a bit of a restless night due to very hot overnight temperatures, my caching partner in crime, SedgwickDave picked me up at 9.30 and we were headed for Frankston and the surrounding areas to pick up a few caches along the way.

While in the park gathering some of the other caches, I decided to grab this one as well. Dave had already found this one, so he left me to fly solo. A nice basic multi, the cache was found without any trouble or hint.

Thanks to C&H for the cache. TNLN.

Another great TDC / LLTRA caching night. About 30 or so finds for the night, including some big caches needed for the P81 combinations. The bikes were out for these caches. The night ended up heading down the Mornington Peninsula cleaning up a few more unfound caches. As always, a great night, lots of fun and great conversation as always. Beautiful weather coupled with nice cool temps made a perfect caching night...

It was a bit of fun indeed. Found after a bit of adventure, nice cache. Thanks Covert.

The Demolition Crew and the Rebel Alliance (LLTRA) teamed up once again for a night of caching fun on bikes and foot. The early evening was focused on gaining two more squares for the D/T matrix by bike which saw us climb a few big hills in the Lysterfield area. The remaining part of the night’s caching saw us in an area where all could bag a fair number of finds. I must say is getting harder to find such areas with all of us having cleared large areas of Melbourne. This time we headed south to the Mount Martha area of town. Well this was a bit of fun! We tried to get to this one from the east, but a new bypass blocked our way. A few wildlife runs were spied in the massive structure, and like rats up a drainpipe, the crew found its way to GZ and signed the log.

nice walk in this park nice and quiet easy to find cache great words on post thanks

Heading back to my car from "Let's Go Fishing for a Cache" I decided to grab this one also. I worked out a set of co-ords and proceeded back the way I'd come. Spent a good 15 minutes searching this location when I decided I had made a mistake and so sat down and tried a different set of co-ords. This new location was about 600m from where I was and well off the track. I thought, "nah, that can't be it. No geocache would be way out there." But as I was at the park and it was a nice day, I proceeded to "Go bush". I was right. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Back to the first WP, I tried a third set of co-ords and they weren't far away at all and on my way to my car. Within 3 minutes, I had the cache in hand. I reckon I walked about 1.5km further than I needed to, but it was a nice day and I could certainly use the exercise.

TFTC SL TNLN.

I don't know how water got into this cache container, but the log was quite damp. Still signable/stampable, but if the CO wants to preserve the log, I suggest the log be retrieved and dried out.
A corner of the zip lock was torn and so I replaced it with a spare I was carrying and have brought the torn one home to put in the rubbish. (See photo).
Hope this helps.

nice day. Took the dogge for a walk. Found it eventually. TN left a Tagrocket NFC Tag!

Found it with geokids log signed thanks

I enjoyed a nice wander around the reserve today, it is a nice peaceful area. At one stage I could hear some of the large vehicles constructing the nearby Bypass, so I am guessing it is going to get much louder around here soon! It was good to see the pleasure that this area has brought to others. Thanks for the cache.

Found @1715 #1261
Did this one has I was in the area for another cache and enjoyed the walk into GZ. Notice what may of been other cachers in the approx area of GZ, but after gathering the info required saw that they had move on. A quick find after a brief scan of the GZ area. TFTC C@H a nice easy multi.

A quick find after doing the nearby "Let's go fishing". Just as I went to grab the container, some form of wildlife that was nestling the cammo made a dart for cover which startled me a bit - not sure what it was but thankfully it didn't show itself again.

Enjoy this multi..
Havent been in this park before..
Great park
TFTC

Got stuck on the wrong side of the new bypass...

after the massive walk, we took a shortcut back to the car, walking along the back of houses. there was a muggle with some chickens and no fence!

Cache was taken over by spiders .....I nearly walked away without signing the log book BUT.........I summoned enough courage to do so

Nice hide. TFTC

Nice and easy multi in a natural reserve.
A short walk and collecting the clue to GZ.
Had cache in hand soon after.
TFTH. TNLNSL

My second in this series, and another great excuse to come into this piece of remnant bush land.. GZ was spot on, and no snakes spotted en-route.. Thanks for the Cache Covert, TNLN

Out after work with Dunko and Bright Beavers quick find at GZ TFTC TNLN SL

Caching after work with Dunko and Slink1, quick find, TNLN, SL, TFTC.

Our first attempt. We found what should have been it but nothing there. Maybe didnt dig deep enough? We came from the far side across the reserve, almost lost our GeoDog who decided to swin the creek rather than cross danger bridge with her two two leggers. With work on te link beginning to ramp up I suggest forget about trying to get in from that side use the Pines side. Its a great reserve weve seen Wallabies in the dawn light and echidnas about 5 times. When confident will set up a cache on that side. Got to find a good landmark though...

Another quick morning cache
I was glad I had the baby hiking pack with me as the two side gates are not pram friendly, nice quick find and straight forward multi, TFTC.

I took the walk from the nature reserve carpark after tackling the trig and another cache nearby. The track that starting from the nearby street corner isn't as wide or well-defined as the park ones, but not hard to find with an OSM map (look for the anti-motorbike? barriers across it and you know you're on track). TNLNSL TFTC

Found @ 11.55am, #234.
After complete the nearby walk in the park, we thought we would give this one ago.
Arrive at wp.1 answered questions did the sums, found the cache,signed log and then it got very wet.
TFTC.

Found @ 1945.

Found with ggkof. He had found this before so stood back as I searched. Found after a short search.

Interesting post, just bleeding to be used in a cache.
And no flaming nautical flags.

After Travelling cross country to get close, soon was a WP1 then at GZ even Quicker

Nice walk in the sunshine. TNLN TFTC

Found with langb77 as we found both the bypass caches in the same night. good little hide

thanks.

Went along with DEJH, cos I have done this before.
Again found real white golf ball while walk back to car and placed it at other cache.
Has some good laughing.
TFTC.

A good multi to introduce a newbie to geocaching. TFTC

After the first waypoint I made my way to GZ but my attention was grabbed by a loud splashing noise from behind some bushes. As I approached there was a very large dog, like a wolf hound, splashing around and rolling in a puddle. I thought it was going to get aggressive but it took 2 steps towards me and then decided to run off in the other direction chasing birds. Strange. The cache was a nice simple find after that.

Thanks,

R - B

Nice easy walk with many rabbits as we arrived just on dusk, but due to the time the place was alive with mozzies. Not recommended trying this one at night due to the mozzie swarms. TFTC

Visited at 20:32 on 15-11
Nice easy cache, the mozzie swarm that carried us back to the car was another story...
TNLNSL, find #695 for Echo & Spice.
Thanks coverthypnosis for the cache. >(''\(OoO)/'')

One that has been on the list for a while. Nice to highlight a little memorial that obviously has quite a lot of meaning to some people, and a nice place for a stroll too.
Thanks again CovertHypnosis

Mozzies, mozzies and more mozzies. Hope they kill them off before the new bypass opens!
Many thanx

Found on a caching day with Acts2youthgroup. We were thankful of the parking coordinates and enjoyed a stroll to wp1, where I failed to figure out why a certain post was there! And also what was a nickname and what wasn't! Regardless, the info was soon massaged and the cache quickly found, thanks Coverthynosis.

This was cache # 28 of 42 for the day, in the company of alansee on our Bayside & Mornington Peninsula tour, the cache was found at 15:05. We were thankfull of the entry coordinates as they made things a little easier for us, A nice walk with plenty of rabbits about, I wondered about the story at the first point, someone's beloved pet must have given up here. My thanks to CovertHypnosis for the cache

1525 Last for the day. Saw rabbit on the path, easy find after that. Took sticker Left eraser. TFTC

Found @16:35 After a days work it was great to to get outdoors after being trapped indoors all day!, Had a few Muggle's following me as i came up to the gz whilst waiting for them to leave spotted several Rabbit's racing about.

Found @ 1500 after gathering the required information at Wpt 1. Quick and easy multi with no muggles around.

Found this cache on the way home from work today. The light rain made it a bit hard to scribble the required numbers down as my pad was getting wet but once the calculations were made I was at GZ in no time. A few locals were trail bike riding but they ended heading in a different direction so I grabbed the cache and signed the log. TNLN. TFTC coverthynosis.

My first ever cache! Found it about 10.45am. Left a little plastic sword, took nothing.

Grew up near here (according to GoogleEarth about 550 metres from the cache as the crow flies), been into this bushland many, many times. Sad to see in on the verge of destruction.

Saw a bunny but no native wildlife.

Found @ 16:10 Went to McCrae today for the winter sao\iling series. Too much wind so racing called off. Used the afternoon to clean up some caches down this way. Hope they leave some of this bush when freeway completed.
TFTC TNLNSL

Walking is part of the physiotherapy I'm doing at the moment so this looked like an ideal cache to get a bit of exercise. We parked the car and wandered off to wpt1 among some very relaxing bush land that was remarkably quiet being so close to suburbia. After paying our respect and having a discussion on nick names we soon had a set of co-ordinates and headed off to gz for a nice easy find. It seems a shame that such a peaceful setting will be destroyed so we can get home and sit in front of the TV 15 minutes earlier
Thanks CovertHyonosis for the cache, the setting and the walk

Find # 2942 and 21st of the day at 4:29 pm. On another day out caching in the east. A nice and easy multi and a nice peacful walk, I always prefer caches in the bush rather than the towns, TNLN, left my mark in the log, Thanx CovertHypnosis....

Enjoyed this one, a relatively long stroll through the bushland with an easy find @ 16:00hrs.

Took the scenic way in. Shame to see a big of green going down, but I guess we need the extra roads, especially after seeing the traffic on a pub holiday weekend like today.
A nice stroll in and a quick calc to GZ. Cache was found quickly.
A nice place to take some nature photos for future reference I suppose too!
TFTC
Was found today with Dicksontwo after meeting them at a previous cache.

Found at 1.15 pm with Jyetara after a chance meet at Oliver's Tryst. So a doubly pleasant stroll through a place we probably would not have visited otherwise, another of the things we like about geocaching. Many thanks CovertHypnosis. TNLN. Collected some trash from the carpark on the way out, how is it some folks can take presumably full cans into a place but are unable to take empty ones out??

We found our 1st CovertHypnosis cache at 4:05pm as the 7th of 10 on our Cranny to Franny Afternoon Saunter. TomTom was trying to get us to take an extremely long walk to this one and by the time I realised what she was trying to do, we ended up with quite a lengthy drive around. We arrived at the nearest point and enjoyed the walk into this cache. I loved the irony of the fences that had been constructed in and around the area to keep pedestrians from destroying the plant life by walking off track. Do they maybe think that laying a 4 lane bitumen freeway over this land may do a little more damage than the few walkers who use the area? Thanks for the cache from D, H & H B-A.

Found with RobMc, the fourth in our “caching saves the day†campaign (making productive use of time in a holding-pattern between taxiing my children around their busy & fulfilling lives)

Great spot! Took golf ball, left frog.

A pleasant walk & great view on a pleasant afternoon, thanks for giving us such a nice place to visit, it WILL be a shame to lose it.

It was a nice walk to the first waypoint. An interesting item. He must have spent a bit of time here. Gathered all our numbers and walked off to GZ.
A quick find in the obvious place.
It will be a pity when this park gets made into a road.
Good to meet you guys later in the afternoon.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice easy cache, sad to think this area will soon be gone.
TN L frog.
Thanks for nice walk.

I'd made an error with what may be argued as the difference between a name and a 'nickname', and that put me about 400m or so too far south. Anyway, not to worry, my incorrect co-ordinates taking me to an elevated area with expansive views (but no cache!) - a spot that may well be worthy of another Frankston Bypass cache perhaps, or at least a view of the bypass, whenever it's completed? Anyway, fast running out of light, I reworked the answers and successfully located the cache. I grabbed the little keyring torch thingy, which I was in dire need for now, left a packet of pencil leads and a highlighter. SL at 6pm. Thanks CovertHypnosis for the cache, a nice ‘extended’ tour of the area for me today, but well worth the miscalculation! Regards, 38degsouth.

Found it @ 12:30pm
Perfect Sunny day, Perfect walking day.
Take Firesafe geocoin.
Left real white golf ball, (found it while we were walking.)
Great Cache
TFTC.

It was a lovely day for a drive today and as The Swaggies needed some relief from the pressure of work we gathered up all the gear and packed a picnic lunch and headed off with the intention of a day in the country. But we did not get there............
After getting the taste of doing a multi again, we decided to get a few more today as well. Anyway we had a pleasant walk in with some of the dog walkers but they soon left to chase their dogs while we found your cache. Another nice area we had not been to. Pity it is going to be bulldozed to make way for a freeway though.
TNSL, Left ladybug TFTC CovertHypnosis.

Nice easy find after a pleasant stroll in on a lovely day for caching. I took the Travel Slug geocoin and left a Firesafe geocoin. Great first cache.

Thanks for the cache and for the walk.

We had a pleasant stroll to WP1 and the interesting information. The other members of the party desperately tried to do the calculations while c-pprass wandered off to find the cache without them. She was momentarily diverted when we met up with the owner of the cache, so our calculating was not in vain. Took 'Cheese please' TB. Thanks CovertHypnosis, we enjoyed meeting you and doing your cache.

Found by Bob at 1135

I wasn't sure about the best access to this one - but I think I picked the best spot as it was only about 300m from where I parked - and a nice stroll through a bit of bush too. In typical fashion (for me), I got to GZ and didn't realize it was a multi - so spent some minutes hunting around before reading the cache notes and getting back on track. After this, the cache turned out to be a nice, quick find .

TNLN

Thanks CovertHypnosis - a nicely laid out multi.

Found at around 4.45pm GAFF1 in the company of Squalid. Today we decided to take it easy and just do a bit of maintenance on one of our caches in Black Rock and as we were in the area we hooked up with Squalid for a bit of caching down the peninsula. Got to this new one and just after we worked out the co-ords from the first WPT we were "sprung" by the owner and his friend who just happened to be walking by. We had a good chat about how we got into the game and then moved on.
Thanks for the cache CovertHypnosis - and it was nice to meet you.
ps - hope the cache will be there for a few years at least before it gets bulldozed!

Forgot to log the 2TB's into this cache last night

Being in S.A. a FTF won't be on our list for this one...

FTF @ 23:30 hours. WHOO-HOO!

Lucky to get out to this one tonight. PC not working, and just decided to check my email via webmail on my wife's MacBook before I went to bed - 22:34 - new cache published ...

Charged out the door and headed to the reserve. My biggest problem with this cache was trying to get in the gate at the recommended entry point to the reserve - it would not budge! Gave it a kick, and then the latch loosened up. Once in, a pleasant night stroll to the first point. Gathered the clues and then quickly found the cache, which was being watched over by a couple of large kangaroos - well, they sounded huge.

Back at the car, I saw a vehicle driving towards me just a little too slowly to be a local. I turned off the engine, made sure all the lights were off and cowered down low behind the wheel. The vehicle did a U-turn and disappeared up the street.

I drove off, but noticed the vehicle parked off the road next to another entry point to the reserve. Methinks I know who this might be ...

I take a peek inside the cabin and see a cache-type container on the floor. Then I head off into the bush towards the first waypoint. As I approach, I can see the glow of a torchlight. Deciding not to remain hidden before pouncing on them as they completed gathering the clues, I scrunched my feet on the track and approached out of the darkness cheerily ... and cheekily ...

I'm sure I heard Rigger64 curse ...

I followed him to his quick find just in case he got lost.

TFTC. I love doing these bush caches at night. FTF is a Birthday Bonus too.
