By ahomburg on 18-Mar-12. Waypoint GC2HNGB

Thank you, Kesha. Place for a good hunt.

Forgot my pen! Dang it. Fun little find. Love the spot

A quick find this time around after a DNF on the wrong trail. I got on the right one this time around. TFTC and happy international geocaching day

A beautiful spot with an awesome view . My app took me right upto the fence , so had to backtrack a little . Then found it quite quickly . A lovely part of Ferntree Gully for a walk TFTC

Lovely day for exploring more of this beautiful area. TFTF

Yay thank you!!

Found at 10:37A nice quick find once I find a way into gzThanks ahomburg for the cache

Walked past this one then realised I didn't have to go all the way up the hill tftf

Haha had to check every rock in the area but found it some how :p

Difficult to know which side of the wire fence it was on.

Easy find but difficult to access re fences: David

Was unsure as I'm new to geocaching how far off the track it could be, was bush bashing for a good 30 mins but stopped when I saw a small snake

Found it

What a glorious day it promised to be... maybe a touch too warm for an ideal caching day but far too good to stay inside. With many caches calling, I decided to venture over to the *City of Knox*... I only had 12 more caches to find to qualify for ** 100 Finds in the Knox LGA Challenge **... and today was going to be the day!Having found six caches before lunch, I was at my halfway point for the day when I started up hunting again... and stopping for this cache on my way back from **Perigrine 1** took me to my "three-quarters way" point for the day. All downhill from here as it were... especially getting back to my car!Thanks **ahomburg** for putting this cache out...

Just out for a quick morning walk to get the heart pumping.A wee detour from the track revealed this simply hidden cache. Simple but does the job of bringing people to a nice area many would not otherwise discover. TFTC

With our cache route semi planned Snip and Co and I made a B line for this cache. The cache was soon found with some slight confusion over the clue. Quote from Snips and Co "That's not a rock that's a pebble." So the remainder of the day had us looking at the clues with extremely loose interpretation.

Although my ahomburg rock size understanding was diminishing, the sun was shining and there was a rock. And Tiz13 spotted the rock. Life is good. Thanks ahomburg

We didnt find it

Pleased to find it!

Thanks for the cache Ahomburg,
I am in the area due to professional curiosity. You see I have been fabricating components for a handrail for "Ferntree Gully Lookout". At first I thought that the One Tree Hill Lookout was being replaced. A quick check on the internet suggested the FTG Quarry. Sure enough at the top of the knol nearby, there is some construction going on with a great view of the city. That curiosity satisfied I thought I'd have another go at this Cache. The GPS gods were kind and landed me right on target.

TFTC nice easy find and a nice walk between peregrines

Look for about an hour, had no clue where it is. Photos didn’t help..

#120 forgot my pen and it was too much of a Journey to go and grab it TFTC

Green tub

Nice little adventure into it

Great little find - stop 2 on Esther and Matt are bored, let’s go geocaching!

you don't need to go too far but we went on a whole bushwalk hahaha

TFTC

This is such a hilly area, and I was running out of steam. Fortunately the cache was found speedily.

Coordinates are either off or there's spotty reception. A fun find. Needs new small pen for signing logbook if anyone has one to pop in there. Thank you for the beautiful location.

Bit of ducking and diving to get in, not for big blokes like me but got there in the end. TFTC

Hi there and thank you for hiding the box. It was so beautiful!!!!!!!

Found. Nice and close to home. Thank you

Easy find thanks for the cache

Was worried I was going to be on wrong side of the fence. Fortunately it was fine. Xmas day caching. Thanks

No peregrine or falcon references today just a thank you. Xo

The coords for this one seemed a bit off but using some brains we found it pretty quickly. TFTC

Found! No pen. Has a little tiger figurine still dry.

GPS all over the place, like the tracks before me?
Stuck with it and got the cache in the end!
Thank you

Found it!

Well..if it’s called ‘Peregrine’ I wonder why since no signs of falcons here. Maybe etymology has a clue but it’s a stretch. “from Old French faulcon pelerin (mid-13c.), from Medieval Latin falco peregrinus, from Latin peregrinus "coming from foreign parts," so who knows. Maybe in the days of the quarry falcons were spied. Either way cache located although I came from above through a hole in the fence. Also found some discarded old telegraph line debris or relics. TFTC and the FUN!

Out with echidna44 caching in the Ferntree Gully area. A short walk up a steep hill had us at cache. A quick find. Thanks ahomburg.

Out with pinnacle333, we were caching in the Ferntree Gully area.
A short walk uphill soon had us near GZ for a quick find. Thanks ahomburg.

Newbies here and this is our second find in two days. Such a fun activity. We are certainly hooked and this spot is amazing with beautiful views.

Found it

First geocache we've ever done, and finding the cache is such a unique dopamine hit, it's like scavenging In an open world game but it's our world. I live in upper Ferntree gully, and have explored this suburb so much but have never been here before.

This has been an awesome experience, was relatively easy as well for newbies like me and I look forward to doing more!

Having grabbed the other one of these nearby a little while ago, I decided to grab the second one.

Three it in the GPS and started driving to the road nearby. Turns out that the cache is on the other side of a fence though.

As I was about to walk back to the car I noticed that someone has actually gone out of their way and cut a hole in the fence and I was able to go through and soon had the cache in hand.

Found it

Bit of bushbashing but pretty easy find, thanks for the cache and the location, surreal view

Great cache have to bush bash a bit

My gps was being annoying and not settling which was embarrassing since my friends were being very patient while they waited for me to jump into the bush. Also my lack of a pen meant I had to borrow one. Rookie! Anyhoo, eventually I found where I needed to be and signed the log.

Much harder than it should of been.

Nice little break while climbing the hill. Thanks for another one!

Difficult terrain. Didn't realise there was a path on opposite side if area. Daughter found it in the end. Will come back and sign Log another time. No own in cache or on us..

Hardest one I've done yet with the terrain, take the path at the start of the hill on butler's drive, trying to get to it on the road angle is very hard, lol pretty much had to absail down the hill be careful of barbed wire if you go this way tftc!

Great find. Sorry we couldn't log it because we didn't have a pen. Thanks

Beautiful walk to find it!

Thanks! This was tricky and took us a few attempts from various angles. But we had fun

Took a while but I found it ok. Make sure to get on the right track and don’t go to far in. Tftc.

.

Yay

WHOO

Managed to find this in my designated outdoor exercise time, whilst babywearing my toddler - found it just as I was ready to give up - such a thrill to have a find after searching for a while! Thanks for the cache.

Yay, we found it! Glad it was do bright as I wasn't sure we were in the right place.

Thanks, it was our sons first geocache.

TFTC

Don’t make our mistake and park on the public road, as you can’t cut through the fence too well.

But we got there in the end

TFTC

Dropped our daughter off nearby, and took the opportunity to find some caches.
A brisk walk on a crisp morning to find this one. As previous logs had suggested not venturing too far off the track, initially I didn't venture far enough. Soon located it though.
TFTC ahomburg

Abby found it.

?

Went way to far into bush

️

Went way too far into the trees and almost gave up, then spotted it on the way out! TFTC

A cache I had previously tried and failed to find, so I was keen to have another go after seeing some photos that gave me a better idea what I was looking for. This time, the cache was found almost immediately - it seems I was too far "in" on my previous attempt. Log signed and an out-of-date, "contraband" (don't put food in caches!) nano-sized TicTacs box removed, cache rehidden and we took an alternate route back along the nearby roads to Himalaya Track to head home. TFTC - glad to finally get this one off my to-do list. 7+km of hill walking makes me think that a future 10km loop on the flat is easily do-able (albeit probably rather boring)!

Found! TFTC

Yay

We also found your second hide today.
I have been on the wrong side of the fence for this hide quite a few times in the last few years but today after gathering clues for the rejigged multi near by we strode right up to GZ.
All is well here too.

After approaching it from the right path it was a quick find.

Finding the path to GZ was a bit of a challenge; afterwards, the cache itself was straightforward. Thank you!

Continuing down the hill from picking up Perigrine 1, we were hoping for a quick find here as Crusty was waiting for us in the car park. It wasn’t to be and as it was now getting dark, we were getting stressed. Steve eventually found the cache, signed and replaced as found, so we could now relax and take in the magnificent views on our return.

Thanks ahomburg.

Found it TFTC

Thanks so much. It was fun. I was way of track. Lucky my friend Liz suggested to try over yonder and we found it. I didn’t have a pen with me to write in log book. Thanks again

Found it! TFTC

Good hide, would have been harder if the green wasn’t so fluro.

There's a hole in the fence that can be entered through to get to here, with a bit of exploration in the area involved. Also little spot

Yahy

Found it

We found it! Bit of a climb through the bushes

Not so easy. Watch for snakes on warm days

Yes

Yay

Thank You ..but it wasn't an easy one...too many fences

found it once we worked out which side to attempt this from!

Lots of fun. Thanks!

We found knew where it was but it was in a big bunch of bushes so we didn’t go in

Hard

TFTFgotcha

Difficult find! Got there after an hour or so. Cannot be accessed from lady walk rd, come up from the quarry path instead!
