By skip2992 on 06-Jun-10. Waypoint GC29WHJ

I will archive this as to find a better location and publish a Ver II.
Watch this space.

Had a look. If there was a tree, it's probably been cut down as there is a lot of sawdust sround

No tree but a pile of mulch.

Will have a look ASAP.

Can not get to it as it is behind a fence that is locked

2nd for the night. Georgia, Gabbi and Caroline

Got it! Need new logbook. Not sure why 2 difficulty rating. Nice to get one on our outing to beach. Lucky one gate was open. Tftc.

Easy!!

Easy

Great fun, easy find!

Brelissa's done it again. Onwards and upwards

I had to get some tests done just around the corner so seeing this one was only 200m away....Work can wait a few minutes while I do a little detour to pick up a little something. Easy Find in the first place I looked. TFTC

921 Very empty grounds the morning i was here. Nice cache series especially being a scout leader in NZ and having attended AJ2013 in Marybrough TFTC

Nice easy one. Tftc

I arrived in Frankston today to visit a friend of mine who commenced work with Qantas with me on the same day, 50 years ago this June. While making a visit to the Visitor Information centre for maps, I stopped in at this Cache which was not a difficult one to locate. It is good to see Caches marking important events from the past such as this one. TFTC.

To easy but watch your car

Good spot if it was any closer to the Church I would have court on fire

Steve & Steph, Steph & Steve doing a caching Tour while quitting smoking again !!!

Very clever nice hide!

Our first with little nik knacks! Beautiful spot, may go back with a picnic and a frisbee.......

Tftc.

This was my second find for the day and the second for this series after just doing civic reception. There was a muggle suffixing something on his bike nearby but he soon left and the cache was in hand. TFTC

A very straightforward find. As others have said it definitely need a new log book
GrahamT

In such a busy area but with the right amount of 'doing nothing but laying on the grass' allowed for a sly, quick grab and return of this cache.
TFTC

Tftc! Definitely need a new log book though!!!

Thanks! This could use a new log. Bec & Steve

Last one of the set, pity the rest of the caches have gone.

Driving through and found this easy cache. TFTC

Quick find on a lunch break but left my pen behind so couldn't sign the book;(
Will come back again when I do the other caches in the series.

First big meat one for MickyK's Crew - 100 finds. Was a tricky one today with many muggles watching a scratch match. TFTC

Not knowing the area I was puzzled at only 15 meters from GZ how to get there. Walked around for a while to find a possible entrance.
TFTC Wilbert67

Find #527

Having parked near here for my assault on "Hearken to my Lord" I decided to grab this one before I left Frankston. Thankfully it was a quick find in the first place I looked because I was concerned that there might be muggles watching from behind the curtains in the church windows. SL TNLN TFTC

A tricky one with all the traffic but I think we pulled it off.
Thanks skip2992.

Found this nice and easily today while driving past. It was very visible out in the open so put it back so it more closely matched the hint. Cache all good though. Thanks.

I found it, but the lid was off, and the items were a little wet. Also the it looked scratched, so it seems like we had a dog problem Perhaps it needs a better place - it's too easy to find. The notebook is full and needs a replacement. And finally, it would be good if every geocache had a pen - they sell those little ones in any supermarket! Thanks for your work!

Just logging my visit. Thanks again

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

My daughter was very excited to find her first cache this morning

No worriee. Left smiley. Logbook full

a nice little find for my first geocache, thanks guys!

TFTC - a nice quick one on the way home from work

Having been through scouts personally, currently a leader and attended the last Jamboree I'm QLD, I thought it only fitting to complete this series. Will probably need to revisit some for the clue. Great little hide in a place that I assume would be very busy normally. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kems

Geosquire 1 followed her school motto - straight to the goal!!!

Our second find, this is fun.

As a current scouter I am familiar with these historical sites I had great pleasure in revisiting them as a geocacher. TFTC

Nice find. Notebook almost full.
Mischief Managed

After going out for dinner in Frankston with some friends, I thought I might stop by on my way home and pick up this cache. Although I've already found the final in the series, it's nive to go back and complete the others.

All the gates into the oval were locked, except for one on High St which was, for some reason, left wide open. I took that as a sign, and wandered straight in! After that, it was a quick little walk over to GZ, where the cache was spotted with no dramas. Signed log and replaced carefully.

When wandering back to the car, I had a look at the clue, and realised this cache may have crept over time just a little. Regardless, it's still a nice easy find.

Thanks for the cache!

Thanks for the cache...

Thanks for the find, I found it with my little cousin

A quick easy find. Log book is full. TFTC.

Out shopping with Pea bear & decided to stop for this one. Luckily the gates were open & there was no one around. Nice easy find, sat on the grass in the shade to sign log. Very pleasant. TFTC

Was in the area today with BorisB&Natasha picking up some supplies for our rail trail caching adventure tomorrow and couldn't resist doing a cache or two on the way. Not a muggle in sight today which is always good. Once at GZ the cache was quickly found. SL while admiring the view of the beach. TFTC

Being a scouting familiy, we thought this was a good cache to find on our way through Frankston to Mornington. TFTC.

Log book is almost full - lucky I didn't have a pen!

Found it!

There was no signage about entry today and everything was closed up. Try another time.

Found this today in the company of my caching Father-in-law One-eyed and Mrs Iamapom and Mrs One-eyed. We could hear singing from the 10am congregation ! Cool. TFTC

With Mrs one-eyed, our Son In law Imapom, and our daughter Mrs Imapom, stopped by the grassed area that housed the Scouts Jamboree, back those many years ago.
Imapom went one way, I went the hard way on hands and knees, but both ending up at the cache location.
TFTC

While the girls were having some time at a nearby day spa, I thought what a great opportunity for a little caching. Not a lot of time but enough for a pleasant walk along the beach, find a cache, and some great Fish and chips from a nearby shop. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Another easy find for the mini cacher.

Found while out for the day with rebel acts nice spot and view of water tftc. Tnln

Found with Crazy! Nat Girl on a day out caching and beaching, we had no trouble on this cache, Nat soon had it spotted. Thanks for the cache.

14 October 2012 20:08 Hairy_Snotter _found today. Half way through Baden Powell caches. Dib dib dib, dob dob dob. Thanks skip.

Quick find on a Friday night

What an amazing sun set and beautiful surroundings .. Tftc

I've been to this cache a few times but never found it muggle free..
But at 9am on a beautiful Monday morning after fishing off the local pier we got this one
TFTCLS

Couldn't get to this one, with a few big and burly gates locked in our path.

One of 14 for evening whilst in the area for The Covert / Starruby event.. I picked out some caches that should keep me away from the mad traffic and also take in some areas that wouldn't normally be en route other wise.. Its far enough from home, and in an area I don't often travel, therefor I didn't mind "clearing it out" so to speak.. I feels like months since I've got more than one cache in a day, however in reality its less than a fortnight... Thanks Skip 2992 for the cache and stretch of the legs.. My last visit here was abandoned as it was a game day and I assume they were taking a payment for entry.. A revisit here in the dark, and although the lights were on, there were no players playing.. Find #2763

Tftc

Forgot to log this one earlier. Thanks for the smiley.

TFTC, nice quick one with my brother (FA1C0N) this afternoon between rain showers...

#2704 We were in the midst of 48 hours of madness which started with a bonfire on Saturday evening near Tarcutta NSW that we left to head to a 3am WWFM on Parliament steps in Melbourne, followed by a 7klm night cache walk & no sleep.......but heaps of caches to keep us awake! We arrived when church was on next door and wandered toward GZ without paying much heed to anything but GZ. Found the well concealed container then whilst wandering back we realized we'd walked past a ticket lady.....at least she knew we weren't staying for the game . We enjoyed reading the cache notes, great photo. Back in ye olde times I went to a Jamboree & they made me drink goats milk straight from the goat.....an acquired taste (YUK!). Our thanks to skip2992 for the cache and history.

Collected this one whilst out on a walk with Mrs Midaho. "How's about a walk up past Olivers Hill?" I said. A very Grand Stand. T4TC. The bush isn't there anymore and the cache is safe where it once stood.

Nice one. TFTC.

What a pretty grandstand - TFTC

Easy find on a very wet and cold day

quick pick up as son trains for football thanks

Quick in and out, very exposed area but well hidden.

The last of three while waiting for the next connection to Phillip Island. I went to the wrong side first but once at GZ, I quickly had the stash in hand at 14:35. A fascinating series and I hope to finish it one day soon .

TNLNSL noted clue, and our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks again skip2992,

Very out in the open you could be noticed easily.

I am well and truly addicted. TFTC SL left butterfly and put note book in bag. Thanks to nursesuzy for the geo intro.

cool find :] family were excited . TFTH!
