Suscoe was heading home today after a delightful and sunny week on Phillip Island.The weather had turned a little today with cloudy skies and light rain every now and again.We love the countryside near Western Port Bay with rolling hills, flat lands and the ever growing urban areas to the north.So many happy cows, green paddocks and asparagus poking through the ground.Thanks to Pau Pau and Co for this hide out here. No swans to be seen today.

Found this today. TFTC.
TALLY HO!!!

After a big sporting day yesterday, all my injuries and soreness has really come home to roost today. As such, I decided a long hike probably wasn't the best idea, but it's also too painful to just lay in bed too. As such I thought I'd go for a drive and collect a few park and grabs in which ever idea my car took me too. This was one of them.

Very long wet grass that I couldn't avoid walking thru while getting to the cache. Lots of milk trucks passing by too.

Thanks for the cache Pau Pau & Co

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to Pau Pau & Co for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Nice quick park and grab as I head home from a couple of days with friends - and great weather

A quick park and grab….. in the dark.

Out looking at houses today and thought we could combine this with caching in this beutiful area. This was a nice quick find. TfTC

Found it tonight with my girls. This is the first geocache we have found. We are excited to find more. Pretty cool how far this goes back! Over 10 years

NY 2022!

Great parking. Good simple find

Our 7yo found this one quickly and she loved seeing all the bits and bobs. Thank you.

We have a habit of caching in the rain at nighttime, on our rare ‘date’ nights without the geokids. Tonight was no exception - happy to find your cache in excellent condition. Thanks so much!

Tftc. First time i came here it was a hot day and looked way too much like snake heaven so I kept driving. Today was perfect!

Great find, fantastic little cache, Geokid very happy

While we were in the area, we thought we'd stop and add our name to the log.
The cache was found easily enough and the cows were very amused.
Thanks Pau Pau & Co for putting a cache here.
Chiefton!!!

This was a nice, easy find - thank you!

A bit scary putting your hand in there, but got it. TFTC

Found with Dozenmater, Tftc

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Nice easy find, much prefer this drive over the Bass Highway. Very pretty countryside.

Awesome hiding spot.
Thank you.

Found it

We will need to come back, grass too high, too risky with snakes

a nice drive in a great area to find this one, have been touring the area a bit trying to continue my streak. Thanks for the cache.

A hollow find tftc

Parked on corner then a short walk down the dirt road. Plenty of swaps here

Found fltf

Found this one heading home on a scenic tour treasure hunt. Been a while since this one has had some love.

Getting windy but found easily walking. Thanks for this.

A bit of a short walk down the road from a safe parking area and the hiding place became immediately evident. With log cache retrieved the log was signed and everything replaced in the hiding place. Nice sentiment PauPau re the naming of this cache.

Oh, boy have these logs been on the back burner……… with the combination of a long hiatus and my phone with all my saved cache data of the ones I had yet to log being supposedly lost. With my eng/comp sci friend who managed to mess around with the phone and recover the data….. hooray time to celebrate. So that's why these logs are so late…. either thanks for the cache and the adventure….. and sorry for the generic log.

Found it

Find #4773

I had a rare weekday morning free and so managed to get out and about nice and early and head south east to try a few caches. I decided that this was as far east I was going to go and so turned and headed north after this one. I was able to park very close to this one and it didn’t take me long to find at all. My ninth find in total for the day in total for the day. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Pau Pau & Co. I liked the placing of the cache to note the family connection to the locality.

Nice quick find

A quick find here after making sure no creepy crawlies or wiggly nigglies were guarding it.

Thanks Pau Pau & Co

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Great hide. Fun to find.

Find 1701
A nice quick find in a quiet location.
Log signed and all back safe again.
Thanks

Outing with my partner for caching day as the weather was so beautiful.
Beautiful adventures
Found it.
Thanks Pau Pau & Co

Awesome easy find with great swaps long grass so beware of snakes in summer

On a wet and cold day I was attending an Open Garden in Jindivick when I decided that I needed to go for a drive to collect some more smileys. I certainly didn't expect to end up as far away as I have. Anyway, after a couple of wrong turns I quickly had this cache in hand and the log duly signed

Found by Spice! (Echo 12 - Spice 10)

Hmmm, 40 swans.
How about 40 million flies?!

Thankfully the cache was found reasonably fast and we made our escape before we were carried away.

("\(0o0)/") Thanks Pau Pau & Co for the caching fun!

Took the right route to get as close as possible to this cache and then a trail was spotted that lead straight to the hiding place. Paperwork was done, everything was replaced and we were soon on the move again.
Thank you to Pau Pau & Co for placing this cache.

Out for a birthday cache with frmen1. I won't give away his age But it's not 40. Had to travel down the road a bit to avoid looking suspicious to an oncoming ute. Found quickly upon our return. Contents and log in good condition. TNLN TFTC

Find #940. Yay 2 for 2 on unfound caches. We failed at our first attempt but today we found it with ease. We looked in the same place so guess we had our eyes closed last time lol. Thanks Pau Pau & Co for the cache

Good spot for a cache... Tfth

I found this cache today at 2:50pm as number 37 of 53 on my Australia Day Northern South Gippsland Loop. I walked past the obvious spot before coming back to it. That would be happy 45th birthday by now? Thanks from D B-A.

A nice easy find, in the opposite direction to where the pointer was pointing!

We must be blind , checked all the obvious and not so obvious places but to no avail.

Found this in its delightful setting with friend I'm trying to convert. TFTC

A quick and easy drive by on our way home from Phillip Island. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Spotted from near the road.
Milking time at the dairy.
Memories of my sister's dairy farm in Cowaramup, WA.
Thank you Pau Pau & Co.

Big things are happening! Are you joining the fun?
