Found cache. No log inside and full of (smelly) water.

Time to go.
Thanks to cachet’s for find it here.

Quick and easy find before my shop at officeworks thanks for the cache )?

Enabling caches again

Very pleased that our last find for the day was quick and easy and didn't need a hike to get to it. Thanks for placing this cache.

Great day to be out and about. Today we ventured back to the west within our 25km limit, exploring within our boundaries.
Another quick driveby, our last actual find for the day.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Whitepaws9

Took some time but manage to locate thanks for the cache

Out with xambo4u, we aimed to do the Hallam Trail with a few caches on the way there. A beautiful sunny day made for a lovely walk and talk.
The traffic here was horrendous, but we managed to find a parking space. It was a quick find of a well concealed cache. Thanks Whitepaws9

Out and about with echidna44 clearing out some in the south. I thought we were to be isolating but the message has not reached to this part to the woods. It as hard to get a car park here. Nice easy find. Thanks for cache Whitepaws9

First one found!! Super happy! Put it back at a good height!

Enabled following relaxation of the Covid-19 restrictions.

Tftc log needs replacing very wet

Sick hiding spot

Thank you

Nice little drive by easy cache. Even at night still pretty good to find. Thank you.

Thanks for the cache

The plan had been to jump on my bike and grab a few caches around the Narre Warren area however the extremely windy weather scuppered those plans. Instead I thought that I would just drive and walk around the area.

A quick find. TFTC.

I don’t really know why I decided to head out and brave the heat today as it was a blistering 40+ in the sun. It wasn’t a thoroughly successful day due to exhaustion but enjoyable none-the-less.

Another impromptu quick find while were waiting for wife to collect her ring from the jeweller in a mega shopping day at “fountain lakes”. A total bonus landing two caches before my son and I get dropped off at the train station to the cricket. tftc

Found today while out Christmas shopping. Ca he in great condition. TFTC

Good one

Good cache

Quick find after stopping off at Officeworks. Lots of muggles about today but nice and quiet at this location. Tftc

A nice quick retrieval, did the deed and replaced the cache. Too cold and wet for anyone to notice.

Found out

Geocache and an abandoned place. My favourite things.

Out on a shopping mission here and thought Id grab this while I was here. A nice quick find, TFTC!

Dnf to many people around

Out for a night on the town with Ms Smokey-Bear, what better way to have a night out than trying some caching in the suburbs. Makes a change from the bush we normally night cache in.
After a few moments, we had this in out hands and log signed. TFTC.

Vertical alright!! Jaiah and daddy

Out for a night on the town with Blazer Triaz, what better way to have a night out than trying some caching in the suburbs. Makes a change from the bush we normally night cache in.
After a few moments, we had this in out hands and log signed. TFTC.

A quick find with Eliott Geoson.

Surprisingly quiet in this part of the shopping centre which is good for caching, not so great that the space has been vacant for so long. Geo hubby made the find, and I had the pleasure of signing the log.

TFTC Whitepaws9.

Found at 1635 on a caching stroll with SirJ-Oz and Muggle-L in aid of SirJ achieving his goal of 1000+ finds for the year. This was to be the last cache today for Muggle-L and I, but SirJ had discovered one stray unfound in Pinkpiggy7's series along the trail that wasn't going to be left unlogged - luckily it was en route back to the car.

Found by SirJ after we'd poked and peered for a while, and thankfully just before I channeled my inner gnome. Thanks for the cache Whitepaws9.

Find #4076. Found @ 16:36 with AmethystPig and Muggle-L

My self-appointed challenge for the year is to get 1000 finds for the year. To finish that challenge off, Muggle-L and AmethystPig came with me to find the few remaining caches... and a couple more. 1003 for the year.

This was only a small detour from the last cache, which was a small detour to our route, so we came, saw, and conquered. Once I positioned myself correctly, it was a quick find.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Whitepaws9

Found by SirJ-Oz admired by AmethystPig and Muggle-L

Quick find, tfct

Running early on the way to meet a friend for a film so thought I would stop here. After waiting for a smoking muggle to move along I made the find fast. Thank you

Wow. Sunday is so busy here.. luckily I had an idea of where to look.. waited for a few muggles to drive off then a quick grab and sign.
SL TFTC!

Middle of school holidays I thought of finding a few around here. This one was nice and easy. Thankyou #Foundit 416

My daughter has a Calestenics concert at the new Bunjil Theatre nearby so I decided to take a break and wander up here so that I could get the geocaching souvenir today. Thanks

After searching longer than we needed to, it was found. Yay. Thanks for the cache.

There appears to be some crawlers here at night so watch where you put your fingers but easy find tftc

Easy find, relied on the clue - area was very messy.

Good first find

Great hint. I wonder if anyone will ever move into the vacant side! TFTC

A nice quick find just where I imagined it would be placed. Found whilst micaparamedic and I were checking out some of the post Chrissy sales nearby.

Thanks so much for the cache Whitepaws9!

Came here for some Christmas shopping (and caching) today. Used hint and easily found. TFTC Whitepaws9.

Quick find on our way to Westfield for some shopping! Hint was very helpful! TFTC

While some of the family went shoe shopping at Fountain Gate the rest of the family went caching around the shopping centre.
Nice easy find that was found in the second place we looked once at the right level. Daughter loved collecting and returning it.
Thanks for the cache Whitepaws9

MontsII needed a USB drive from a shop near here, so we decided to look for this cache today. We purchased the required items, and headed over to search. MontsII spotted it as I was a bit too close to the Hide. I grabbed it, signed the log and replaced as found. Next up, the even bigger shop across the road. Can any geocacher escape from Bunnings with their wallet as it was prior to entry? TFTC Whitepaws9

Nice quick park and grab. Tftc

... We drive to it... We arrived... We pick up the cache... We signed the log... We hopped online to log... We left...

All that in less than five minutes...

This has to have been the fastest cache we ever found
Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Very quick park and grab. I remembered reading this cache a couple of months ago but hadn't got to it. Today with time short, I drove here from memory and grabbed the cache, signed and all in less than 5 mins. TFTC

In the area with time to kill before seeing a patient, I snuck over to Fountain Gate for a couple of smilies. I walked around the very-pedestrian-unfriendly part of the car parks and made a quick find - I think I had my cache eyes in today with 8 from 8. TFTC Whitepaws9

Another score by Dee, today's team leader. Cheers!

Found this one today as l cached around the area with omegaman1971. The cache was soon located after following our gps to the most logical location. No muggles to contend with today as this part of the shopping centre seems rather bare and quiet, ideal for caching though...Thanks Whitepaws9 for the hide.

Back in the area with Happy pants cleaning up some caches, that we missed last time.
Detailed clue made this a easy find.
Cheers for the cache.

Was at this centre picking up a few supplies so made a slight detour to grab this cache. The previous finder must have been a monkey or in the running for the tallest human in Melbourne. Difficult for those more vertically challenged. Nevertheless retrieved, signed and replaced. Appreciate the cache!

Lucky I had the hubby with us. Thanks for the cache

Over this side of town for wedding dress fittings, so while the girls do their thing we do the guy thing... caching. This was our first stop lucky i'm tall. easy find TFTC

Spotted it on an early walk but lacking tools, coffee, assistants or acrobatic abilities left it unsigned.

Yep

#354 - 8.40pm
Following a little impromptu retail therapy with Mrs Welder, a daily cache was next on the agenda. The map revealed a nearby likely target. We drove over at a good time with plenty of activity about, but with everyone immersed in their last minute dramas. Parking was a sinch.

Mrs Welder was given the GPS tonight and duly found the cache after a satellite based moment of misdirection. After some effort to extract the log we were able to sign in.

Turns out there is a right and wrong way to insert the log. Could future finders please return the log with the coil binding towards the opening of the cache. Otherwise it's hard to retrieve and will steadily damage the log.

Thanks Whitepaws9. Sometimes the simple things in life are often the best!

A quick find with 4bait and geojill_11 a nice easy find

Tftc

Nice find while riding with Geojill-11 and Mark9375 TFTC

A quick find with crank1. Thanks for bringing us and greetings from Glenhaven N.S.W

Yep an easy find today whilst in the area
Totally exposed but unless your looking for it ............
Signed log and returned as found. Many thanx to Whitepaws9

Apologies for the late log! I'm just catching up on finds that I made before I jetted off overseas for five weeks. I had some time to spare after work out this way so decided to cache till dark. I had driven north up from Cranbourne grabbing a few caches along the way so this was my last one to attempt before turning on to the freeway and back towards home. Came in at the wrong elevation but it got me a handy parking spot and once I corrected I was able to make the find. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Whitepaws9.

I've looked for this cache twice before but it had gone walkabout. So it was great to finally get the smiley on the third try. The bushes have been cut right back now so it's almost in plain sight! Tftc!

Good one to keep my streak going. Some shopping to be done at the mall so decided to grab this easy to find cache beforehand. Cache in good condition.
Thanks Whitepaws9.

Found it 3rd one for the day thanks to Connor up a little high for a child to reach but perfect for an adult nice hide!!

Even the "walking ladder " couldn't reach this today. Luckily we had a tool in the car which enabled me to reach it. As its meant to be a 1/1.5 I replaced it at a more reachable height.

Found it #TeamWhat

Thanks for the cache. We looked incredibly dodgy at 1am.....

Found whilst introducing a muggle to the wide world of caching!! TFTC

I remember the days of flower power. Tftf

What to do tonight with an hour to kill while muggle son was playing his game of outdoor soccer. I couldn't go far so I headed to Fountain Gate in the hope of getting a few quick caches. Arriving at GZ I was glad that I was attempting this one at night otherwise I definitely would have drawn to much attention to myself. I had read the hint so I was confident with what I was looking for. I located the cache quickly signed the log and replaced as I had found. TFTC

Found it TFTC

Noticed this cache was up and running again a little while back but probably wasn't to keen to try yet again after a couple of memorable dnf searches while it was missing. Heliboy11 was the one to prompt this new search after I had given him a lift to a nearby venue. This time the cache was quickly found, signed and replaced. What a relief it was to finally have a bright yellow smiley to replace my sad bluely. TFTC Whitepaws9

found it after giveing up on another one at the other end of the carpark this was a good way to end the night, tftc

We were driving home from Warragul after the Easter Long Weekend and we needed to stop at an Officeworks on the way. Whilst we were waiting for our printing to be done I wasted time by checking out the geocaching app. Wouldn't you believe it but there was a cache right where we had parked our car. Of course myself and Geokids couldn't pass up hte hunt. Geodad was eager to give it a miss and carry on with driving. Thankfully it was a quick find and we had our #350th find marked next to our names. Log also signed by geokid CharlieBear10 who may or may not log online.

TFTC.

Poor little kidnapped cache. Welcome back!

The cache is ready to go for the finders!
Thanks to pippin69 for replace )

one of cacher went there to check my cache.
Its gone.
Will replace asap

Checked on this one the other day. It's definitely not there! Would you like some assistance to replace it? Cheers Pippin69

Will come down to check it soon

Will go there to check the cache asap.
Thanks rokmum

Have tried looking for this one three times and still cannot locate it. Could owner please check? Thanks.

Disappoint ing one this one three eyes looking cannot find the cache found an old mint tin lid nearby cache is gone

This was my third visit to this spot over the last couple of months and I wasn't going to get a better day to search Muggle free than Christmas day. Thought I gave the area a really thorough go over this time. It's probably in one of those obvious spots that will make me go 'doh' when I finally find it but that wasn't going to be today. Found heaps of rubbish but no cache and ended up smelling like Christmas stuffing. Well, think I'll give up trying again on this one until I see that someone else has found it. Thanks anyway for the cache Whitepaws9
