A Ton of Fun Caroline Springs, Victoria, Australia
By templetonteam on 21-Aug-10. Waypoint GC2DVBK

We have moved from the the area and are unable to maintain this cache any more. As it has had some DNFs we assume it has been misplaced. Rest in peace A Ton of Fun!

Looked in the obvious places for about an hour, could not see any cache. Might need to be checked on as it has not been found for awhile

looked everywhere and couldnt find it

???

A quick find on a wet day.
Wasn't expecting to see that there.
Tftc

Yay. Last for the day.
Step ahead of the rest

Founddd ittt

To good

Sadly my streak today was broken. Looked all over the thing. TOP and bottom. No where to be found. I’ll come back though! TFTC!

A quick find on our Victoria Road Trip.

TFTC.

Not a 3.5... super quick and obvious.

Found finally with senior Ogston girl. Tftc. Greetings from Adelaide

Out for quick trip to the shops, and a Geocache online the way for a bit of fun.

Didn't take us long to locate.

Thanks for bringing us to a new location, we enjoyed the walk

Find: 177
Found: 20/10/2019 11:30 AM ish
Found with G7

We commented on this structure as we drove into the area and wondered why it was there. After parking the car we walked back and took a closer look and almost immediately, we saw the cache. Then it was a simple matter to retrieve the cache. The container had lost its lid but the logbook was in reasonable condition. Thanks templetonteam for the cache.

Found. Tftc

Found it

Found, clever spot.. the cache doesn't have a lid so could get wet easy but other then that all looks good. Thank you

Cache found to be all in good order. The lid is missing but it's still kinda protected. Thanks for the cache.

Interesting little place and nice little hide. TFTC

Great find. No muggles about. Nice and easy find!

Found!

Kalms Family at it again

TFTC. Introduced a friend to Geocaching today, their first find. They are now hooked! Thanks!

If having trouble just read the comments. May need long arms and keen eye.

Just could not find it

TFTC

Not as hard as I thought. DLE grabbed almost instantly. Very cold up here. TFTC

Find number 6866 at 3:12:28 pm
I live in the east and work in the west and today I grabbed a few caches on the way home by somehow heading further west, not very efficient but enjoyable none the less
A quick look up top and then a more thorough search from the bottom revealed the prize.
**Thanks for placing this cache templetonteam**

Today was a date I needed to clear from the calendar. Caroline Springs has been largely virgin territory for me so, as I've cleared up all (except one) the traditionals closer to home I ventured here today. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to travel any distance around here in peak-hour traffic.

I was also reminded of a shortcoming of GPS coordinates. They're two dimensional, but I had a fair idea of the likely altitude of the hide and, as it turned out, I wasn't wrong. But it wasn't an easy find today, particularly with the sun doing an excellent job of making it impossible to see the cache in its little hidey hole - another disadvantage of hunting at this time of day. I did need a bit of help from a friend, as well as take a bit of a walk to obtain an appropriate tool to find and retrieve the cache.


The cache is in good condition.

SL. TFTC templetonteam.

This cache has been a source of aggravation for Brianna.92 and myself since late last year. This was probably our 6th or 7th visit and we are happy to finally log this cache as a find. Thanks to the cache owner for confirming our thoughts for this cache. We found something to help us retrieve this cache and we’ve decided to keep it and call it Toby. Once found we both did a little happy dance. Thanks for a great cache. Gets a fav point from us.

This was hard for our first try!

Couldn’t aren’t and not brave enough to put my hand in dark places...

found it in 5 mins pretty good for my first search considering the first one I found was accidental

found

I need much thinner arms but found it thanks

I was unable to reach the cache with my fat arms, so Geodaughter dislodged it and it fell to ground level, I picked it up and a whitetail spider appeared from inside, which has now been dispatched to spider heaven , as only white tails should be, log signed and a rather old gent had to climb back to replace the cache, Thanks for the exercise templetonteam

a little tricky but ad fun!

Unsuccessful

Found It!
A bit of an odd place for structure like this. But after a bit of poking around I soon spotted the cache. This is where I was when I listened to Hamish and Andy's last show come to an end...
TFTC

Yep

An early start this morning mean that I mad the place....and the view to myself. I spied the cache from a different angle and then moved to make the find. Thanks templetonteam.

Interesting spot. TFTC

Multipul angles help

We were on the lookout for kangaroos here but didn't see any. The view from up the top was epic! Kenare said that not that long ago none of the houses were here and all the area was like this reserve. Kenare spotted the cache and directed me like a robot to get it because I couldn't see it and Sean.75 wrote in the book. High 5s all round for the great team work. Tftc

This was a great team effort here!! I was spotting from 1 angle, Sean.75 from another angle and Kenbryl reached for the retrieval. Tftc

With a bit of teamwork from kenare directing and kenbryl retrieving, we had the cache in the bag. Cache is missing lid. Tftc

Having knocked off work for the week I knew if I went home I'd have a sleep. Feeling more alert after a few k's in the air con I decided to start the long weekend with a few caches. This place was certainly unexpected in the middle of C.Springs. Not sure of the point of the tower - to watch the endangered grass grow? TNLN, TFTC

Today I went out and cleaned out all the caches I haven't done around the Melton area. This was an interesting place in the middle of all the houses. The cache was hard to get to (my arm didn't like to bend that way) TFTC

Enjoyed this one

Great day. Lovely view - Cache is missing the lid. TFTC.

Awesome find! Thank God I had my mum with me coz she has skinnier arms. With a bit of coaching (pushing) she reached it.

Was surprised there are not more caches in the area, as I was on a work trip I couldn't do much so snuck out to grab this one while in Melbourne

Found the cache itself aftr some help frm Mini Mole with my fear of heights. Couldn't reach the container-has been pushed back 2 far

Tftc. No lid on container. Needs some fixing.

Cool TFTC

Tftc lid keeps popping off

Great hint. Geojnr found with skinny arms.

Found on a rainy day be careful on the walkway. Interesting place. Thanks for bringing us here.

Second time looking for this one. MUCH more successful looking during the day!

Nice easy find but easier if you have thin arms.
Unfortunately the lid doesn't sit on the cache any more. I have left it in the cache at the moment. It may need some maintenance to rectify this.
TFTC!!!

Almost gave up on this one 10:15pm by the light of a couple mag lights Shai-tan and myself managed to find it. Only just. TFTC

Love the reference in the hint!
Fantastic cache!

Such a cool spot and great little hide, thanks templetonteam. The lid is a bit loose, may need maintenance soon

Our first geocache find. Thanks, kids loved it

Excellent cache. Thankyou for a good example if intelligent hiding. I'm so glad I didn't have to do any dangerous climbing! SL

Strange park, in way. Boardwalk over rocks and grass.

Catching up with a dear friend nearby - after waaay too much coffee (wait - is there such a thing as too much coffee?), I was buzzing. Time to find some quick caches. This was the first - singing Led Zeppelin on the way, saw this one immediately and log signed. Easier than last time when I was muggled out. A mighty magpie scared the crapola out of me haha. TFTC

Found it ! Fun and sneaky !!

I come here for work to look after these grasslands and tried to find it every time. Finally I have found it.
There are some rear native plants here that I look after.

Third time lucky. This cache has been a source of frustration due to vandalism, etc. glad we decided to give it another go

My 1st cache! TFTC

Tftc. Glad it was still here

Two teenaged muggles had set up camp atop GZ, but I thought I'd approach under the guise of photography and hopefully they'd move along. Nope!
I couldn't believe the signs nearby suggested kangaroos present in the area - so so dry here today.
Thanks anyway

Couldn't resist seeking out this one as a bit of a Led Zeppelin fan ~ would like to visit again when it is less cloudy and take in the view ~TFTC

This was a fun little adventure on my way to a regular meeting I have in CS. The weather was fair and there were no muggles about. The cache was easy enough to spot and I took a moment to enjoy the view from above while I signed the log. It is great to see small conservation parks like this in the urban sprawl. TFTC and bringing me here.

Nice easy one

Our first find..Just sarted Geocaching, very exciting!

TFTC

Found it ... good hint ...

Caching today with Dutch Frangipani who has had several months absence due to pregnancy. A really fun day once again with lots of laughs, good conversation and some challenging caches to be found.

DF made the climb today as I have an injury. Searched and searched but no luck today. We will have to come back another day. Thanks templetonteam

Out and about with Sorcysal today, this one had us stumped. We searched around for quite a while before deciding we will need to try again another day. Thanks anyway templetonteam

Found with TeamLauren. A fairly quick find, a shame about all the rubbish nearby. Thanks for the cache.

Tftc. On a rainy day, avoiding the slippery path qe located this cache after a few minutes of searching. Well camouflaged. Sad to see so much rubbish here.

Found it!

I work here every fortnight looking after this special place and have been looking for this one for about 2 months now and can not find it. It is a place that a lot of teenages hang out. Mane they have taken it. They are not the most caring of people. Believe me I have to clean up there mess all the time

A very clever spot to hide it! Don't awesome view too! TFTC

Almost ready to give up then spotted it on our last look.

We did no expect to see this structure when we turned up to this one, after making our way to GZ we were soon hot onto something and had the log in hand, thanks for the cache and showing us this spot.

The rating on this one looked a little better than some of the lesser ones so we headed over to have a try. Interesting area with lots a rocks I between the grasses and then we spotted the walkway and the other feature so knew were to head. We soon spotted the hide but getting it out was a little more challenging but we got there in the end. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

Sneaky. Nice hide

Nice view, great hint, cheers

Sneaky! But a good hunt and view!

Great spot
Girlfriends first time

What a fascinating feature in a park. Had to have a second read of the entrance sign - a reserve for ...snakes... amongst other critters, now that's a first! Love the Zepplin reference and also the GZ. Had to find geo-extender tool nearby to extricate said cache. Fav point for all the 'fun' connections. TFTC templetonteam.

2nd time and still did not find.

Have replaced this again. Hopefully it stays hidden for a while. Please place back exactly where found.

This one has walked again, we will attempt to place it again in a few weeks.

Great hide
