GeoSon thought he'd be the hero and aim for the biggest rocks available, entertaining to say the least. Then we checked the GPS and decided to head to GZ, although a little disconcerting due to the proximity of houses, however noticed it slightly exposed, nabbed it, signed log and returned better hidden than we found it. TFTC. Last for the afternoon, time to get back to Geobase and Geowife.

Walked in from our accommodation. Didn't bring the kids but met one who lives in the house and says he's your friend. I was blocking his way to get in with his bike. Thanks for the cache.

Geohubby grew up in this area and was surprised to find one here! He said its a good find! Smile
 
01-Feb-13
An impromptu night time caching expedition was undertaken with Allrounder and hccatcher11415. We decided to hit the south side of town for a change of scenery, collecting the trads that came across our path. We were prepared for some swaps here, the big kid (FurfacesLL No 2) checked out the loot while Allrounder signed the log. TNLN TFTC
 
01-Feb-13
9th find for the night and 4th after picking up furfacesLL for a few hours of night caching with them and allrounder. A quick find.

Quick find, almost on private property. Nice to meet you, CO, Mrs Jmaniezza - who noticed our approach from the window.
 
24-Jan-13
This was easy but felt like we were invading someone's yard. Lots of spider webs on container lid but didn't meet the spider!

Puddle twinnies took a couple of little toys....well stole may be a better word since they bolted once they'd grabbed them. Not looking forward to explaining the whole 'geo-share' concept.

Well with Geo_son Snr excited to find another treasure for the day we decided to head to this one and see if he would like to swap some things.

We arrived at the recommended street and hoped out of the car. A short walk behind the houses I was navigating to the cache using my iPhone. For some reason every time I use it around power lines I have a real hard time zeroing in on GZ. They really must interfere with reception. Almost resorting getting out the Garmin I looked at the maps and through my Geocaching experience my eyes ended up finding GZ and the cache.

At one point I think that i remarked to myself "gee there are some pretty horrible smells around here, like dog poo" I was eager for the cache to be signed and swaps performed. After all of that Geo_son Snr did not want to swap but the log is now signed. Walking back to the car the smell continued to follow me. This prompted me to check my shoes, relieved nothing was there.... then I checked Geo_son Snrs shoe..... Damn!!! I guess when I get home I will have to wash his shoes.

TFTC Jmanjezza and the extra washing Smile

633. Didnt quite get the excitement of the previous finder, but a nice stroll none the less. TFTC.
 
28-Apr-12
This was our very first find - nice and close to home. The kids were so excited to go on a treasure hunt, and I couldn't wipe the smiles of their faces once we'd found it. Can see that this is going to become a favourite family activity.
Thanks

The tenth day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland was marked by the best weather for caching. No rain, not even a chance of rain, some clouds but plenty of blue sky and a very light breeze which did not have a hint of the bitter cold of previous days. We started the day tracking down the cache for the Hobart to Canberra Great Aussie Icon Hunt and then we spent the rest of the day in the Tuggeranong area, some of the time in the hills. We had a great days caching.

We enjoyed the walking along the flatter terrain after going up and down hills for most of the morning. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. We did wonder if the cache was located at the cache owners back gate. TFTC Jmanjezza.

The boy looked at it and decided it wasn't a big rock.

We were out for a few cache after looking after the grand kids for the day. Quick and easy. TFTC Cheers

Nice cache. I met a huge dragon when I approached GZ. TNLN
 
21-Jan-12
Great idea, but I would probably think the cache needs to be a little bigger. I have a swag of swaps that I could have put in, but there was no more room.
Without reading prior logs I had a feeling that was a staged cache hoping to catch a few cachers in the act, but PyroFuzion and myself used ninja stealth tactics to retrieve, log and return the cache without being spotted.

A cool cache, easy to get to - no kids today, taking out the new beast (it's bronze, trackable, 4wd and totally awesome) and you cant miss us, we are having a romantic caching spree that ended at a pancake kitchen - yum, 26 for 6 hours work, hmm not bad - a big thankyou for the canberra to cooma run also, that inspired us to come south, we didnt make it to cooma as the kids needed picking up and we wanted dinner, 1000 in our first year aint gonna happen but lets see if we can make the birthday event number 1000 - or the oldest cach, decisions decisions lol. You'll see the main body here repeated as thats the days story. So on that note Thanks For The Cache from your friendly caching team the puddle jumpers (by the way - the kids jump in them, we jump over them).

A good cache for kids. No muggles out in their back yards on a cooler Sunday afternoon. Didn't notice the trackable that is shown as being there. TFTC

Muggle was hanging out washing, and I just couldn't seem to find it. Sad
 
18-Jul-10
It was a very easy find. The clue really helped. If we ever move near a grassland, I've got an evil idea.Twisted Took marble in exchange for a car. TFTC.Big Grin

Second cache for the day with geo-kid and geo-wife in tow. Left the First American Geocoin (2006) behind. The sun poked its way through the fog while we were here and what a great feeling being in the sunshine on a cold frosty morn.

Reperio at 1715. Was nearly going to park on the main road but opted to park nearer the houses and walk back to GZ, Once there, the very obvious spot soon presented itself.

Gratias.
