byeeeee

Cache is no longer intact or in place. No log or hint is in place.

No log, someone found it and moved it and we found it just sitting on the ground.

Found but not in its location, cache will need to be replaced

Found it! Magnet has been replaced with a cute lil fungi friend. The hint was helpful

Thanks!

??

Easy find but magnetisms gone a gutser: David

Cheers. Left a little mushroom toy in it

Cool little hiding spot, not an eclipse mint packet but a black key safe Our second cache and the kids love it. Thank you!

Muggles around which made this a bit awkward, but I found it!!!

Magnet no longer on the box. Forgot to bring a pen so couldnt leave a note. Thanks.

Not magnetic anymore

Today was a day for being out with crustyvarmint to finish collecting this series. This was our first stop and luckliy no muggles were about. After my searching a likely spot at GZ and declaring it empty Crusty had a look and wouldn't you know it...he victoriously placed his hands right on it. I guess I just had a "girl look" LOL! TFTC

Thanks. Our first cache since the kids found out about it. A great first find! 18/11 Brad, Logan and Paige

That was exciting, next!

17:27After the magic of the Lights, Camera, Action, GIFF! Event this is one of the caches we able to find before heading homeward. Tricky hide, probably deserving a bite more than DR1.5.Thanks to ahomburg for hiding caches in interesting locations. 36035

Love this sneaky hide.

Fun and good magnet technique.

Cache replaced

Found book away from the gz. Container also away from spot. Book very wet. Returned cache to spot but does need maintenance.

So one pot contains on the floor

Easy to find next to a nice playground. The sign in book was wet though

There are some great small parks in this arrea.

Thanks for the great spot. I found it before I put the app.on lol

Whet here with a ventures group and logbook was wet

Cool spot

didnt really get a chance to look before CammJT found it. TFTC

Myself, fisherfamfive and AdamW were out to grab some recently solved puzzles and unfound trads in the area today. The hint pretty much gave this one away, as I set out from where we parked the bikes to swoop in for the find. My first look was a success and I had the cache in hand, tftc ahomburg

After an event at Boronia Library I saw this nearby cache on the map. Obviously there wasn't any sport on at the oval as the area was very quiet, apart from two children using the basketball ring. A well acted stumble at GZ allowed me to retrieve the container and the children had moved on by the time that I wanted to return the cache.
Thank you ahomburg for this cache.

Found

Found it!

Nice place to find cache.

Nice hiding spot

Nice playground and playspace for kids.
Our first magnetic find!
TFTC

Followed hints and couldn't find, maybe thrown out xx

TFTC nice easy find with the hint and all safe and dry

Found it

Nice little find. Lovely area

Great spot to hide a cache i knew it would be under and low down after i saw the hint. TFTC

A quick and easy find late at night. Tftc.

As a 40 something male, I normally don’t like caches next to playgrounds unless I’m here with my 5 year old son. I arrived and despite the inclement weather there were two families playing nearby.

I was almost about to pass through and head to another cache, then return later, but based on the hint decided to take a brief and inconspicuous rest. The cache was found soon thereafter.

Went out with my client looking for an eclipse mint tin but it was in a black Keysafe! Super cool.

Uep

TwoEms’ car was having surgery performed by a nearby mechanic, so we killed some time looking around while we waited for ‘operation to remove wire from tyre’ to be patched up and completed. Our feet took us through Boronia Mall—a semi-deserted relic of the 70’s—before we navigated our way to the muggle populated Chandler Park.

Tired, dehydrated and spaced out, we were happy to sit and wait until there was nobody else about. And then we looked in the obvious spot, but we did not see anything. We wandered around ground zero, then came back to the start. We looked again to no avail. Determined, we decided our eyes were useless and tried another tactic. Success!

As we were writing our name in the log, we were passed by some fellow cachers asking if we had found it. We grinned of course, but having never met another geocacher in the field before, we were caught off guard, and regrettably forgot to introduce ourselves or catch their name. As we were finishing up, our mechanic called to break us the news, and we hurried off to another adventure.

Thank you for the cache—we went geocaching and all we got was a flat tyre.

Based on the hints, pretty sure we were in the right spot… looks like garden area has been recently mulched, perhaps this has resulted in the cache being destroyed? We couldn’t locate.

Cache replaced

Didn’t find

Noticed the latest log so I had a quick look as I was passing through, no needles or grog around, but cache appears to be missing ):

Dangerous, used needles and alcohol

Found tnx

Tftc found with stresspoint

Nice cache. Had to be discreet as there were mother muggles with their babies around. Nice and new logbook! TFTC

I had spent all day preparing and placing caches for my new multi when I realised at about 9pm that I hadn’t logged a find for the day. Luckily this one was nearby where I was picking up some dinner.

With my phone as my only source of light rapidly dying and my dinner getting cold in the car, I prayed for a quick find and was happy when I quickly spied the container. Got the log signed and replaced as found.

Heard what sounded like an old man grunting nearby in the pitch darkness which spooked me a bit so I got back to the car fairly quickly after replacing the cache.

Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.

Tftc

So many people enjoying this beautiful park on a glorious autumn day. This cache was found in the expected location, where I sat and had a rest, watching some kids shooting goals.

Thansk good hiding spot

First find ever

Thanks for the cache Ahomburg, it's Friday afternoon, finished work, and now it's time to find a cache or two. Then it's back to reality.
Regards from Victourer

Near rocks next to steps

Tricky one! I'd just about given up and wondered if it had been thought rubbish by a Muggle. Tip for anyone else who wonders that: rest for a moment!

Found TFTC

Unfortunately couldn’t find this one! Still a great park and day for caching very high muggle traffic area

Will have to come back when its not so muggly - we followed the hint and were confident we were in the right spot but still no luck - will try again another day

DNF

Nice timestamp of people who have discovered in the past. Pay it forward

Found very easily, needs new log put in as the current one is full

Hint gives it away otherwise pretty good cache otherwise

Dammit, my partner beat me to it again. He’s too good.

Found it

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

Thanks ahomburg for taking time to set out and maintain this hide and for showing us this very special part of the world

Found it on my old account

A casual seat at appropriate spot enabled discrete grab and log despite lots of action around area.My second in this series. Log book is quite full but managed to find a spot. TFTC

Lots of muggles around. Log book full. Tftc

Having found this with a previous finder, this was a nice quick find. Thanks for placing it for us to find.

????

Great first time geocache, great clues. Was a lot of fun to find.

My third find on my first day playing just as the rains started. It was a really fun find. I will make sure I bring a pen next time!

Tftc

TFTC. Fun little find, will have to check out the rest in the series…

Thanks! It was really hard to find, we needed to use the hint!.

Tftc

We found this cache on 21/12/21. For some reason we hadn't logged it.. But our notes say it was a lovely park area to enjoy. TFTC!

There are lots of leaves covering it

We found it

Found on the 28th Of May

Found on 28th May 2022.

A quick and easy grab on my way home.

Nice park BTW !

Nice easy find on a nice sunny day but getting cooler at this time of year.
Log is full. TFTC.

My compass tried to lead me about 20m off but the hint led me right! Unfortunately, as we were out with the Geopup but hadn't intended on caching we had no pen to sign.

The log is getting full - an extra sheet of paper will be needed soon!

Tftc.

I looked at everywhere but couldn’t find it.

Nice cruisey find tftc

First find, nice and easy

Nice hide tftc

Thanks for the find
