Due to an intersta.te move, was time to put this one to bed

I liked this one. No tree climbing and only a little bit of muggle-dodging (on a weekday).

Thanks for the cache!

Tftc

Frosty morning with only a few muggle dog walkers about. Tftc.

Our second find eber...easier than the first! TFTC

Found at night

Found it!

First one

Good find

Nice and easy

Nice and easy once I found the right spot

Use to live round here

Fun

Found as kids were showing up to school. TFTC.

Got a bit grumpy looking for it cause my phone was going nuts - but found It thanks

Tricky no coins with us today but thanks for the cache

Found, while caching in the area.
This was a good hide.
Nice to met you, earlier today.
TFTC

I suspect I'll be one of the last to find this before it's archived so didn't take a coin as I didn't have any foreign ones to swap but left a party popper for you to celebrate bubblzdee! Great hiding spot too!

Out on a cloudy rainy day with my umbrella getting some more stuff on the edge of my 10km zone. Was still rainy a bit when I arrived. Car parked was packed with basketballers arriving so I parked across the road and walked in to get this one. Took a minute or so to find, but when I did I wondered how I missed it. TFTC.

Had to wait out a couple of kid muggles who had settled in just near GZ for some after school shenanigans. They finally moved on so I got in and grabbed the cache. Took a moment to find but a quick phone call to make sure I was in the right place revealed it. Not a hard hide, just a tired brain!

A nice hide. Well hidden and hard to see. Found this with my grandson (3yo) who is already looking forward to the next treasure hunt. TFTC

A slight detour on the way home after a hair cut. Looked like a bowling comp was happening. TN left two coins from my overseas collection. TFTC.

Only a couple of bowlers about this morning, with a few retired persons giving their dogs some exercise and some school persons enjoying the sunshine on the distant playground. It's the serenity you know. A quick find. TFTC

This was the last cache for the night now which direction is my car
Tftc tnln

Had to wait for a customer to get home from work so I grabbed a few caches while I waited for her. Sl thanks for the cache.

Just a heads up, this cache will be archived at the end of March due to relocation.

Found this one before and forgot to log it. Tftc

I decided to ditch looking for this yesterday, way to many muggles around. Came back today, no worries. A good little spot. TNLN SL.

Out and about in the suburbs looking for a few caches.
This was one of them.
TFTC

First cache for the day. A very easy find, as it was just sitting out on the ground. Replaced in what seemed like the sensible spot, fairly much vertically in-line with where it was found. TFTC TNLN

Just took a nice walk with the dog and it was an easy find. Thanks

Easy find great area, good fun

Found on my weekly caching trip thru the 'burbs, this week involved finding caches along the #48 tram route. A quick find, but I think locals might know of it's presence because I found a few of the contents outside the container. Thanks for the smiley.

TFTC

GeoSon was playing basketball today. Nice easy find while cricket being played on the oval. TFTC

First find on our 23 cache run! Nice day for caching! Pens broken though!!! TFTC find #13 Gem^2 and Gems dad

Brilliant fun. Least trafficked cache in the area
Helped by SirJOz and DWU

Found @ 12:45 on a lunchtime mission with some coworkers (higstar and "yet-to-be-signed-up" DWU) to grab a cache for my p366. I dismissed this one as too close to the school and we went to another nearby - to find it overrun with sporting kids. A drive by of this region indicated that the area was muggle-free, so we swooped in and higstar made the insta-find.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache bubblzdee.

Found my first cache at 12:45 pm with SirJ-Oz and higstar!

Despite a cricket match going on, I could still search for this without being noticed. Just as I signed the log, someone was caught...but not me. Thanks for the cache, bubblzdee.

Very tricky

This area has been manicured since my childhood when the creek could be found between long grass and prickly gorse. Now all mown grass, paths and paving with no sign of the creek. TFTC

Have just joined. Finally logging after finding several weeks ago.

Found this one today. It was a very quick find - I went straight to GZ and put my hand on the cache immediately - with not many muggles around today. I signed log, left nothing and took nothing.

Thanks for the cache bubblzdee.

Found while on an outing with geo kids. A run across the oval to burn off some of their energy, then a quick find. Added a spanish coin and a Dutch coin to the stash. Covered with some extra camo. TFTC.

Quick grab on the way past, watch out you don't get bowled over though.

Walked across the school oval to this cache, quite a big school that I could only make out in the distance.

Nice easy fond even when GPS isn't work. Tftc

Found @ 10:35pm, find # 1646.
Out to find a few caches on this windy and damp night to fill in the next square.
After parking the car I went for a walk and made my way to GZ, once there it was a quick find of a very exposed cache.
I just don't understand why some poeple just cannot rehide a cache properly, after signing the log I rehid the cache with a bit of camo.
Thanks to bubblzdee for this cache

The wind was blowing a gale but that didn't put off the lawn bowlers! Impressive school next door-thanks for bringing me here. Sadly I couldn't add any more beans.....

Found it, needs a new log sheet

Found it. Left 5 euro cents. Took US coin.

Found after a bit searching in the cold and wind. Nice and easy bit of fun

There was a match being played on the oval further to the south, but no action on the nearby oval. This made for a nice and quick search without interruption from any muggles. Thanks bubblzdee for the cache.

Found while on kids dancing trip.

ThAnks for a quick lunch break find

Found 1230hrs. TFTC

How big is Balwyn High getting? Must be nice to have all those overseas funds!

Found as way of ideling an hour or two while kmace went to a meeting
easy find but was investigated by passing canine
Tanks Bubblezeed

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.



14:12

After spending the last couple of days cleaning the house, it was time to go out and play. Geodaughter got some good navigation practice while I played chauffer.



Now the hard part... where to cache? Over the Chandler bridge, then head east, looked like a plan.



The rain during the morning meant that there weren't more than a few people about, so we parked just down from the school and followed the path as long as possible before squelching across the grass to GZ, where we had the log out in no time.

thanks Bubblzdee. A nice hide.

Cold blustery day but Nice walk tftc

Grabbed this one while out on a night caching run with Paco Aliandro. Nice hide and all was quiet at this time of night. tftc

Out on a night caching run with ProBleMatiKal and this was a nice easy start to the night. Parked nearby and walked straight to gz, no muggles, and found the cache quickly. TFTC bubblzdee

Beautiful park adjacent to the bowling club with many sporting codes able to train and play here. Too much Muggular activity to be able to drop Tracy Turtle TB, but we enjoyed another beautiful sunset with her. TFTC bubblzdee.

Returning home to the north east today, and grabbing as many smilies on the way as I can. Sorry for the generic log. TFTC!

Quick search, wait a moment for passer-by, then in for the cache. Thanks.

Left aussie 1 cent took aussie bagde Thanks for hide bubblzdee

Before sitting down at the computer for a day of work, I went out for a wander this morning to find a few caches in the Balwyn area. It was rainy and I thought I'd avoid muggles. But the traffic was horrible, so baled after three finds. This was the first and I enjoyed the walk in to get it. T4TC!

Found with cooney17 on a chilly Sunday night. Thanks very much.

Found with -Coen on a Sunday night session. Easy find thanks .

Easy find on the way home. Park was very quiet at 9:20 pm
Thanks
Dunvegan

Wasn't intending to stop here but the way I drove into work today went right past it, so to avoid going to work for a bit longer I grabbed this cache. Also got me out of the car for a leg stretch, and out of peak hour traffic. Thanks.

Hardly anyone in this park today as it was a very cold and wet Anzac Day. [^] The GPSr took me thereabouts and I soon located the hide in the only logical spot (for jeekers). Signed the log at 3:45pm.

A few trackables had a visit to mark the occasion. Took nothing but as there were no coins in this 'beancounter' cache, I left a NZ 10 cent coin that I got in Christchurch in 2010 a couple of days before the earthquake. Thanks bubblezdee for the cache and for bringing me to this lovely park. As it's an off-lead park, I must bring the geobeagles back here for walkies. We came here a few years ago but the weather was too horrid for them today.

My very 1st GC not a virgin any more ??

Quick find and well hidden! - I had to let the geo-gf find a few and this was a good one for her - hehehe she had a bit of trouble retrieving the cache - but in the end she go there...... And I didnt help
Thx for the hide bubblezdee

Found March 25, 2012 - 12:40pm
Find #312

Had to head out to run a few errand this morning, so on my way I looked up a couple of adventures/diversions to take my mind off the fact that I was having to do things I really didn't want to be doing.

As I drove towards ground zero my heart sank and I thought I may need to put this one back on the to do list as there seemed to be a large number of older cars. As I slowly drove past I could see that they were all over the park, and it was the local Peugeot club were having a meeting. That explained all the old cars.

Managed to find a parking spot a little further away than I would have preferred and then walked around everything on my way to GZ. Thankfully the sprawl of (ugly) cars and people didn't come as far as GZ, but upon finding this hide I dare say that it has probably been muggled as it was not concealed at all.

The log was still there but had some kids scrawl in it and no swaps were to be found at all. And, NO, nobody in the caching community considers a used metlink ticket a swappable item....

TFTC

What the hint says its certainly true! A nice quick find, but still a very well hidden cache that's unlikely to be stumbled upon at random by muggles tnln tftc

Found with Rebel Acts. Finally catching up on my logs,Thanks for the cache.

Found with Crazy! Nat Girl on a day out caching. It was good to find something other than a micro. TFTC

Had to be content with counting bowlers who were the only ones out on this hot afternoon. TFTC.

Easy find thanks, got a little surprised by the lizards head poking out at GZ!!

TFTC

Found with R36 and SJG101

Found with BBG32 and R36

Found at 12:45 PM GAFF5 in the company of maccamob and Robmc. We stopped here to eat our lunch and chat about stuff. We then speculated what the "bean counter" part of the cache meant and were subsequently disappointed to find the cache empty of coins.
Thanks bubblzdee

Found by Mary & David, with pprass and robmc, at 1245. We stopped here for lunch, and a few muggles had the same idea. Afterwards, we set off across the oval to begin our search. GZ was all clear, and we had no trouble finding the cache. Our resident beancounter was disappointed that there were no beans in stock to count. Our thanks to bubblzdee.

Nice hiding-hole .TFTC

Nice quick find.TFTC

Stopped by this cache on the way to Kew to buy 1/8 & 1/16 size violins for my girls to start lessons. The cache was eventually spotted by the 5 y/o after gentle prodding towards the MOP.
We removed the LOLLIES which had been left by another cacher earlier today, before the ants find the cache, and to prevent other kids eating so-called treats left by strangers ...
Nice easy find, and thankfully not another mint tin! TFTC

Nîce new logbook, no sign the theme of beans been followed! This was an opportunistic find so was unprepared for swaps anyway. Was surprised to see motorbike stuntman chewing up the nice turf on oval though. As we left, local boys in blue turned up to sort it out.

TNLN SL TFTC 9:30am

I thought I was going to miss out today but I saw this one just a small detour off the freeway. A few muggles around but none interested in me. Found after a few minutes searching. I had a spare notepad so I signed and replaced the log. Thanks bubblzdee for the nice hide.

Thanks nice hide

Decided to do a few caches on the way home from work since it was such a nice night.
Parked nearby and walked over. Found the cache, there was only loose paper instead of a log book. Signed paper and moved on.
TFTC

Hi bubblzdee - After failing to find a nearby cache, I found myself walking past a cache I had found some time back, so I thought I'd have a look. Just as well perhaps as I found the lid of the Sistema on the ground and the rest sitting exposed in the "hiding" place. I had a look around the general area and found a couple of log sheets and a trinket. No real log book or other cache contents. it looked to me that someone had opened up the cache and tossed out the contents.

Anyway, I re-hid the cache, but it needs a new log book and pen etc etc.

Easy peasy. Among the paper treesy. TNLN.

Quick find with RollaB, then we kicked the footy for awhile. TFTC.

Lunch time cache run will be stopping soon as I will run out of trads and have to do more homework for the puzzles etc! Great trad spot as a good first hide. TFTC SL

Found @1504 #676
A quick find and was lucky as there was no Muggles about. However the excitement occured while I was sitting in the car looking at the GPS deciding on which cache to tackle next when suddenly BANG! a silly Muggle had just backed out of his driveway and right into the car!! [:(!][:(!] Contact details were exchanged but lucky for him the damage seems to be superfical (to be confirmed...) Ahh the things that happen when your caching... TFTC bubblzdee, left blue stone.
