Over for 2 weeks from WA visiting friends. While they show us around we do some joined geocaching too. 4 pairs of eyes were looking but my misses spotted it straight away so all in all a quick find. Tftc dagobert1
Was looking for the cache when along comes another cacher who had found it previously... He showed me where to find it... But I found it while he was trying to remember where to look 
Needed a quick due to some DNF's today. Geowife got it and then did the sign of the log. All back safe again.
As of late I have accumulated a bit of back log when it comes to logging my geocaching activity, it is not much compared to others but with my recent uni assessments I chose to wait a bit before I log my finds and now is the time for me to do them 
. Found this cache before heading towards my friends 19th birthday party which was just around the corner, I had a little difficulty looking for this one as there were lots of nooks and crannies to look fir this cache, anyways after a little more looking the cache was in hand and quickly signed and returned. Thanks for the cache and for the lovely walk before a fun party

Found this one after a little bit of looking, had to be quick as muggles were walking across the river. TFTC. SL. very interesting spot to enjoy the view of the river. Great hide and thanks for bringing us here. Cheers,**
Out on a Sunday evening hunt with TrailStevo hoping for double figures tonight. Fingers crossed, let's see how we go. TFTC
Night caching with Gunks. Flat walk tonight as was hill running earlier in the day. Tftc
Good cache! 2nd find for the kids.. 8yo daughter found the clue! Btw good clue! TFTC
Had some time to kill after work before I headed off to Hampton for my monthly book club meeting. I had passed by many times in the last year on the highway or the freeway but today was a great opportunity to check out a few caches near to the Patterson River. This was the first as I parked on the north side and walked back over to look for this one. Followed the GPS to a likely spot and after a bit of searching the cache was in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, singed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache dagobert1.
Stopped here on the way past to grab the couple of caches close to the road. This one was a quick easy find.

Another quick find with nyochi and beckgiz. Nice spot by the river. Not many muggles despite the beautiful day.
Another one where I've previously undertaken only the most cursory of searches because these pathways are so dang popular. Only had a distant fisherman to consider today. Nice secure hidey hole, seemingly *exactly* where the coords suggest it should be. Thanks dagobert1!
Found on second attempt with Alizaskulls and Tara_1984, on an icy cold day! Good hide
2nd attempt and found it this time! Found by AlizaSkulls with Joey JoJo too oh my gosh that wind is cooooold!
oh my gosh that wind is cooooold!We came down from Warragul today in the company of kmps to ride out bikes on the Dandenong Creek trail and find a few Caches. This was the first for the day and an easy find. TFTC
We tackled this one from a couple of angles and Tash made the find in between the passing muggles on bikes (plenty of those about today) Thanks dagobert1 for the cache.
I headed to the wrong level first, but once we sorted that out it was simply a matter of searching each logical place and dodging the many muggles until the cache was located. Thanks for bringing us here and for the hide.
Suscoe's 20th find of 32 for today as we wandered this area in the very good company of our mate Bushfire.
An early start from home got us here in good time and a beaut day emerged with lots of sun and a pleasant breeze blowing in from Port Phillip Bay.
A quick stop as we turned the corner so to speak to start the run home.
A quick find and sign.
Thanks to dagobert1 for placing this cache here.
Some littlies we feeding the ducks over the other side of the water.

After a lot of planning it was decided that we would attempt to find all the caches between the Mordialloc Creek and the Patterson River today which we archived with the exception of one where diners were sitting a couple of metres from GZ and were watching what we were up to.
Leaving Geelong at 7.30 we were caching up here with my good caching buddies the suscoe's an hour and a half later. As Ross has stated this was our 20th find and we ended up with 32 finds for the day and no DNF's except for the one we decided to give a miss to as described above.
I have never been to this area so it was a bit of an eye opener for me.
Thanks again dagobert1 for showing this location.

Not too hard once you know where to look. Previous logs helped. Walking to the cache, I turn around and geo kid #1 is carrying an old bike chain (oh my goodness you cannot take your eyes off him for a second) so... Have to head back to where we are staying to get him cleaned up. Thanks for the cache and introducing us to another spot in Patterson Lakes.
Found it 2nd try on this one had a few of us stumped first go !! Winner winner chicken dinner!
Steve & Steph, Steph & Steve caching out the local area, thanks for introducing us to this local area )
)'Look up' is a great tip. Found this one without too much drama thanks to the tip.
Find #641
Out on a lunch break caching run near the river, found 4 of the 5 attempted. This was first stop and after taking a gamble on which level to try I found I guessed right and amongst dodging muggles on bikes going at crazy speeds I managed to sign the log. Tftc dagobert1

I needed a cache for today's calendar square so headed out and 2 of the geokids tagged along. It was a bit windy and I also forgot my 2 year olds nappy bag so the trip was cut very short but not before we grabbed 3 caches before heading back home.
We parked in the very convenient (but no standing zone - why is it there??) and headed in to look for the cache after deciding whether to go above or below. So after a minute or so searching I came up with the hide, took a quick photo of the river in the windy conditions, signed the log and headed back home.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.
