Heading home from a Woodlands visit we called past this cache.
The cache was easily found, and we flicked through the raffle book till we found a blank page to leave our stamp.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with Mum & Dad.
Nice easy find.
Thanks for the cache!

Out for a couple of hours this afternoon to hide a couple of new caches. Decided to pick this one up as it was near my lunch stop. Took a marble. Left a ladybug peg and happy face badge. TFTC.

Found, while visiting the area.
I think I may have written March in the log book instead of April, oops.
These months are going too fast.
A quick find.

Quick little find. TFTC

Found on our return trip to Melbourne after Easter week end with the rellies. A quick detour off the freeway to visit the Golden arches and grab a cache. TFTC.

TFTC found no worries log book full

Last cache for the day
The cache wasn't hidden at all, just lying out in the open.

TFTC

Nobody practicing here today so it was a really quick park and grab.

Found successfully with Leb_hustla06 and team, took something left something. great find!

Came past after failing to find 2 other catches today. Found it after 10mins with 3 other explorers.

Log book was full so we left details on a new gift but also took one presant in return.

Returned to hiding place....

Out for our usual New Years Day Adventure, which invovled LouseAnn and Ostara74 caching all day while LouiseAnn's non caching partner and I enjoy a gig at a local pub in this area. We grabbed a few caches on the way to the pub, and a few on the way home. This one being cache find number 6 for the day. With the temp dropping and the wind increasing ti was getting very cold, so we were making quick cache find and sign dashes from the car. Thanks for the cache, bel04.

Caching in the Trentham area together with LouiseAnn on this warm and sunny New Years Day. After completing the Domino trail, we stopped for a few caches on our way back home. Before getting to this cache, Pathfinder24 was back hunting with us. It was cold and windy and dark by now but we decided to try for this one anyway. LouiseAnn had already found it and left it for me and Pathfinder24 to look for it in the shine of the car headlights. Pathfinder24 quickly located the good hide, we got the log book signed and placed the cache back. Thanks for the cache bel04! This was my final cache for the day and number 24, making it the most caches I've found in a day so far .

Found and signed. Needs new logbook as current one is full.

Quick find in the company of dutch frangipani. The log book is quite full and needs replacing. Thanks for bringing us here.

Found this one with SorceySal today. Noticed it needs a new log as the existing one is quite full. A good cache however and well hidden.

Find # 2437

Today I had planned as a caching day, normally a good friend celebrates his birthday today, but due to the fact that he is travelling overseas, I had the day free to go caching. I received an email from my caching partner in crime, SedgwickDave and he was free and eager to go and find some caches. We decided to head towards the Melton area and the Intervening Days V and Scubacrazy666's 1000th event which I unfortunately missed last year. We decided to leave early and to find a few caches on the way there. I picked up Dave at 9.15, It was a beautiful Summers day, just perfect for caching.

After attending the event, we headed out to do some more caching in the area.

We were now on the way out of town, finding caches on the way. This was a very quick find by dave, he had the cache in hand before I even got out of the car.

Thanks go to bel04 for the Cache. TNLN.

Found @1546 #2294
Having attended the Intervening Days V event it was time to hit some of the local caches and explore the surrounding region. Today the weather conditions were ideal around mid 20s and a light southerly breeze. Found with caching wingman Ahomburg as we hunted out the caches in the Melton region. Today's run ended with a tally of 23 but there is still more to find here so will be back again soon.

A nice quick drive by with cache in hand within 30 seconds, nice TFTC bel04

I used to test drive new cars here. Be carful, I had to stand on bull and nest to get cache. Bad day to wear thongs.

Quick find on way past, didnt see any tb.
TNLNSL
Thanks

An interesting little dead end road. A drag strip or lovers lane at different times one might think!! Cache was quickly find and all was good.

Found on a two day caching run around this part of Victoria and heading towards the Werribee Gorge series.

Thanks for the cache and the chance to see a bit of the local area...

another quick cache after work whilst out for a bike ride. all tickets have been sold from the log and needs replacing.

Ticket book pretty well much full. Calling cards clogging cache. Not sure if I found it in its correct spot. Tb missing that's in inventory.

This was, the second cache of 24 finds for the day, in the company of Trailrunning, we had been chating and texting for some time now regarding caching but never met, so tonight we finally teamed up and went caching, we had a great night with lots of laughs along the way. Well no need to look for this one, it's in plain view, nice and easy. My thanks to bel04 for the cache.

The usual TDC cache grab had been put on hold for a week, so I was looking at doing a solo run when I remembered I had a rain check promise with the legendary RebelActs to go on an evening caching run during the school holidays at some stage in the future. Well tonight was the night. We met at Glen Waverley and were soon moving west to Melton. It’s hard to find locations close to either of us where we haven’t already cleared out the area, so the Melton area was easily accessible and fruitful enough for us both. In all we visited about 33 locations with only two DNF’s, one DNA, and 1 very flat tyre. All in all it was a great night out. I finally got to meet RebelActs after corresponding and talking for such a long time and never actually caching together!

The second cache for the night and a very easy find. The cache was uncovered, but well screened from the adjoining road. This one was a true drive-by cache. Thanks.

TFTC Easy find TNLN. Cache in good condition, lots of natural camoflague. Log book full.

Well done

cubsgrasshopper

nice quick drive by this afternoon. Log book very full and sadly no trackable..... Made sure i hid it again well.

Found on way home tonight.
An easy find in a spot with an interesting use.

Log book is starting to get a bit tatty...

Also no travel bug....

No one practicing today, in fact the place was quiet. Found quickly by spookyclams. TFTC.

What a blast to end the holiday and visit with family. I bit misty, but night caching with Poseidon_2002 was a blast. TFTC Nice spot for a cache.

Wordyalot, Poseidon_2002 & geokid's last splash, great experiences with my mom, hope the trip is safe back to nv USA love you heaps... TFTC

Quick night caching with son before returning to USA. TFTC Needs new log, as many have used full page. Took dragonfly leave charm , butterfly saw charm. Left marbles &army man. Wordyalot & Poseidon

Found on a fun day out with little Miss 5.

Cache was really exposed so we tried to hide it a bit better. A nice easy find - one of our last for the day.

Found while caching in the company of abl973. There were two other vehicles on the track when we entered. Thankfully they drove on did a u-turn and then left. I'm not sure why it was so popular today? Initially thought the log book was full, then signed again on the rear side of an earlier page. Thanks bel04 for the cache.

28/07/12 8:42 AM Find #1135 Todays mission with my friend Square Pegs has us heading westbound with an itinerary of caches locked in and waiting to be found. The weather ahead is looking good, we're well prepared and the car is running really nice. We had a successful day with plenty of finds, lots of mud, a few friendly dogs, antartic temperatures and we discovered some new favourites.

Its a busy track this morning. Thanks bel04.

My goodness, for a dead end, this road is busy.

When I rolled up near GZ, there were two cars stopped in weird positions nearby (note stopped, not parked). They both cleared out soon after... do I want to know what they were up to? I do not.

Once I had the place to myself, the log was easily in hand. Nice choice of log book.

Thanks for an interesting experience.

While on our way done to Darley for the family visit we pulled of here for a visit. Being a dead end here we thought we might have found a sole mate as there was another car ahead of us. No indication was given as they made the turn around so you got to wonder what THEY were doing here.
Nice easy find, log book was a little unusual, but least I was a winner today.
Thanks for the cache bel04

Maintenance check. The check stubs are the log book. Please utilise both sides of the pages as there is heaps more room. Thanx for all your support.

For a road to nowhere it sure was busy! A few muggles out 'testing' there cars today. But they paid us no attension

Found @ 13:40hrs.
A truck was parked near the cache I quess the driver was having a rest.Was able to retrieve the cache from behind it's hiding place without beeing seen.Thanks bel04.

Found it very quick find left a travelbug
Thought it was time we pasted it on
Tftc??

A nice quick find. Would be an excellent place for leaner driver & no doubt the odd hoon at night also?
TFTH!

Found in the company of The 2 Wanderers when on our way to Bacchus Marsh. Easy find due to being able to be see it easily so tried to hide it well after dropping off a TB. TFTC be104

I have driven past this cache so many times on the way to visit my parents in Beaufort and I have wanted to stop, but usually I have been in a rush to get there, or too tired on my way home. Today, despite it being dark and being keen to get home and feed the dogs, I decided we were going to stop anyway. We parked with the car lighting our hunt with only a slight assistance from a torch, the cache was soon in hand. Its hide is simple but obviously effect. Thanks for the cache bel04, glad to have finally stopped.

Found while going to an event in Ballarat. Nice quick find with a um different log. All good quickly logged and on our way. TFTC

Avoided the bull-ants and quickly signed the log and back on our trip north.

Yay. quick find. this will be the last Victoria cache before jumping on a plane back to Adelaide. TFTC

Quick & Easy

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found it!! Nice easy cache is good, small detour off highway on way home from Melbourne. TFTC

After finally seeing the hunger games movie we decided to go for a quick geocahcing dash at 11:26pm to try and make 100 finds. Sadly missed out by 2 for the night but plenty of time to finish that tomorrow.

I had a cache placed here awhile back and it dissapared so please keep an eye on your cache, also time to add a new log book.

Nice easy cache

found on a caching run with stooy

Nice little hide, no probs with muggles here,tftc

nice easy find, after a short powernap. TFTC and hope you havent put that bike down.

Easy find! Cache not covered. Is now!

400m. What can you do?

Can you weigh here? A cache on that could have been heavy.

Thanks to bel04 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found on my way to Melbourne for a few days. Thanks for the cache bel04!

Nicely placed cache. Lovely easy one for beginners. Found it straight away. Lived in the area for 4 years and never been down that road. TFTC

1:54PM

This practice track was full of activity today.

People snoozing, having lunch and just generally driving by.

I had to wait for a truck to do a u-turn before finding the cache.

A busy little stretch of road today with lots stopping for lunch or a sleep or something??? SL TN left a hen and her chickens. TFTC

#3 on the way to pick up our new caching car from Airport West. A nice quick easy pickup. Nobody practising today, but I can just imagine some screaming hot tyres tearing down here late at night. Thanks to bel04 for the cache. On arrival cache was found just sitting in it's spot, with nothing covering it. Covered it up on our departure.

Thanks bel04 for the quick find, I also had no idea that there was a weighbridge there and yes it would be an ideal place for some practice work, out of harms way and virtually no traffic. Just a note though, the paper is soon to run out should there be a glut of finds here. Heading up this way I get the feeling that others seeing me would think I was a rubbish dumper though, looking at the outta roads around Melton, it seems that to dump ones garbage is the go for the lowlife AND yes,also some upper-life pigs of this town sadly. [:(!] This town was once a very nice clean country town........once-apon-a-time.

Once again the iPhone is about 10 metres out.
Scared the rabbits away and found the cache.
A surprising amount of traffic for a dead end road. !

On our way to the Intervening Days Event, we took the opportunity to put a couple of smilies on this side of Melton. It is interesting to reread the cache notes here, as there was much discussion at the event about driving practice!

Quick find thanks bel04

Quick find in a quiet location, near a cache i got a smiley on a few years back.
Cheers for this cache

Super easy find as it was just sitting on the ground. Have put it where I think it should have been BUT it was about 8m according to my GPS out so I am guessing it was placed with an iSomething.

I haven't changed the coords, just hidden it where I found it.

Cheers

Pete

Find # 3300 and 2nd of the day at 1:14pm Accompanied by Wheelchair Access. it was a beautiful warm sunny day and its been nearly 6 months since I last did some caching so decided to have a day out today. Easy drive by, left the GPS in the carl. TNLN, left my mark in the log, thanx Bel04....

08/10/2011 08:38 Off to Creswick/Ballarat for an awesome hard-core caching weekend with my good mate iamapom (Carl). Still on my own at this point and saw this one nearby so decided to go for it. I was worried I would be exposed but only when driving the road did I realise it was actually a dead-end and wonderfully quiet! I checked the clue and walked to GZ without the GPS. A real easy find and sign with NO muggles anywhere! TFTC bel04 TNLN SL

Found @ 1900 Hrs on an afternoon outing to cross off another few caches around the area.

Nice easy drive & then a gentle stroll to the cache...

Thanks bel04 for bringing me here!

Found with The Quiet plodder. TFTC

First 24 hours of Daylight Saving for this Season and a Geocaching run to 'celebrate' the 'later in the afternoon' of the Sun to set. First for the day with Dylan 7a. I have vague memories (over 40 years ago) riding my pushbike along this road - well before the By-pass! Now days, it's me that needs a By-pass sometimes and certainly well before anything! Thank you to 'bel04' for the cache location (excellent co-ordinates) and cache itself (in good nick). Collected Pirate Geocoin with intent to drop off at another location asap.

Straight forward find, thanks 4the cache
