Found[Time to Find: 3 min] 07 December 2013 22:19:29 Still catching up with a back log of caches. Sorry to see this one now archived a good hide and a different location. We had to do a lap around the block to collect this one boy was streets busy late tonight. Must be something on.
JABs.

Found this cache as part of my caching trip with JAB's to Victoria's Mornington Pennisula and Geelong area. The 29 hours claimed 158 GC caches and 2 GCA trig points. Some great caches were found and the southern beaches were a highlight.
Quick detour after a quick visit and made the wee minion tie his shoe while we had a quick look around. Perfect!
Was setting in for a hunt when it just about poked me in the eye! A very quick grab. Surprised it has lasted! Signed on the fresh log provided by RodandHelena. TFTC
Nice easy quick find! Log is completely soaked! So we replaced the log. SL. TFTC. 
Our TB's payed a visit too!

Easy find, nice quiet spot without too many muggles. Log was damp and rather full - needs maintenance.

Found on a rainy night. Nice hide!
It's a shame though how wet and tattered the insides are. Some serious TLC needed here.

Well placed. Something different is always appreciated. Log book is very wet though and probably needs replacing. Tftc
Nice quick find today by geodaughter....may need to be checked as the log is quite damp.
Found on a quiet sunday afternoon. Interesting looking pipe and well placed cache. Log wet and will need replacing. Tftc

Found after a fun event, meeting many friendly Geelong Geocachers. It was great being able to put faces to names.
We'd said our goodbyes to the last of the locals at the Gaol, and had to pass this cache on our way back to the cars. Krazy K had picked it up during his previous late night visit, so gently guided me to a quick find. Not that it was difficult...
The cache was not in as poor a condition as I'd been led to believe, but that might have been because it hasn't rained much recently. Thanks, el Juliano.

Found it on a quick run in the city after dark log was a bit damp so placed a temp piece of paper in container as for the pipe it seems to be a non return valve (maybe for fire hydrants) and the last operation was to remove a piece of metal lodged in my hand. TFTC
Found @ 11:53pm, find # 2469
Out with Biggles1024 on a tour around Geelong while attending the Teamranger event,
This was a nice quick driveby, then we were off to the next one.
Thanks to el Juliano for placing this cache.

Easy find actually found it last week but for some reason the log didn't send on my phone. Log was soaking back then and looks like it still is.

Had this on my list to do for August, thought it would be easier to do in the Dark being in town. No one around quick park almost on top of cache. Didn't take long to find but the log is saturated. Owner needs to take action. TFTC el Juliano
Found quickly but logbook is too wet to sign. TFTC

The cache appears to be in need of owner attention and needs to be temporarily disabled until the owner has an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
My girlfriend and I found this on our day off together. Log waterlogged but we were delicate in handling it. Thank you for the cache
Found today during my afternoon smoko !!! Great little spot, log is in terrible condition though.
TFTC !!!!

Nice and easy on Saturday night. Very few muggles. Cache log getting damp. Might need a refresh and chage. Thanks:)

Krazy K came over for the puzzle solving event and now out in the hunt for some local smileys
Thanks to west side caching buddies Ogrebeast this was a quick find and we went hunting for more

Located this one @ 2308 whilst waiting for the better half to finish work, Signed log and returned to hide.
A bit hard to hide as it kept slipping down.

Found on a winters day with Lachlan Telfer. Due to mugglers had to do the stealth grab it, walk a little, stop, remove log, write (and our pen didnt workk..), secure lid again, place back and walk away.....
nice quick cache, muggles around and very subtlety picked it up, signed and got out of there.
I like caches like this almost as much as the really hard ones to find. Seemingly out in the open but still never finding it if you aren't looking. Quick find after dinner, over from Adelaide on a work trip. TFTC!
Went with my outdoor ed class and found my first cache when walking to a sustainable cafe!
Found on a night cache run to Geelong with Storchburp and Fergzter. After looking where it was and not finding it the search spread out until it was found where we first looked. TFTC.
Sent geocoin out with a 1 minute head start , he was back in 30 sec.
A very quick find, but its nice to have one for the day.
As for the pipe, i #628 think its a service port for the water fire hydrant water supply.
All the log sheets are full, so I've added a fresh one.

Found on a night caching trip with LionJRB and Storchburp in Geelong. Why is it that we look at the obvious spot, miss the cache then look everywhere else before going back to the obvious spot and finding it. Must be caching blindness, but found it in the end. TFTC el Juilano.
found quickly by 12yo daughter and a visiting friend, while filling in some time waiting for our 17yo. It's our first attempt at finding a cache at night - we thought it might be busy in the day time - and were surprised at how busy it still was late at night. Glad it was a well lit area! TFTC!
Nice Easy find. Early Sunday morning, coffee shop not yet open, which is a pity, as a latte would be lovely about now. Tftc el Juliano.
The log needs replacing. There are multiple pieces of tiny paper all filled to the brim with signatures.

In Geelong over Easter visiting family. Out with Son-in-law, increasing the local smiley count.
Yes, it does seem to be a main pipe. Quickly found, signed and retuned.

Having had tea, we decided we needed to walk off some of the yummy food. A quick find, with no one around tonight.
No idea why this is here, but makes a good conversation point.

Found easily with Frog_Lady who had found it before after a morning shift! TFTC!
Find # 3872 @ 3:30 PM. I was in Geelong because I had solved some mystery caches and wanted to find them but its always good to get a few extra. Easy find, Log is we and full, TNLN, Left my mark in the log, Thanx El Juliano....
Yay! Finally! It wasn't even that hard but this is the third time I have had a quick look just before/after a shift at the hospital. I clean offices. I just looked harder thisevening. A muggle tried to ruin my fun but I covered it up nicely. Cheers for the find. Paper needs replacing in the very near future.
