A quick find after work for the day. Took me a little while to locate but I was quick to stick to it. TFTC

Quick find on the way past here, cache is all goodTravelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache
Cache was found after a short search. Thanks for the fun. Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumulated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Saturn's day the nineteenth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

I found it, took us a while but eventually we got it!! Great hiding spot!!
A quick find while in the area for work. Love the naturally formed hiding place! Tftc
A beautiful autumn afternoon caching in the sun. Good co-ordinates and clue. Just had to use a bit of stealth mode as the scouts hall was in use today.
#4629A quick find here as I was passing through the area for work. Thanks for the cache.
I have to say I got the weirdest feeling of deja vu when I pulled up here, as I could swear I've found a cache in exactly this location sometime in the past, but since it was placed in 2011 and I didn't even start caching til several years after that, I must have been mistaken. Still, odd - but then it's not inconceivable that there wasn't a similar hide in a similar location elsewhere.Anyway, this was a quick find on the way home from visiting mum. Thanks for the hide, SteMicMitSar.
Thanks to the owners for placing this geocache.This was an easy cache as I was able to see the container from across the street.
It was a bit wet so we added a new sheet and signed away.Thanks SteMicMitSar for keeping this cache in play for so many years.Chiefton!!!
Need to be a bit tall to reach this one! Lucky mum was there to help the kids. Log is very wet will need a new piece of paper.
After the exertion and the adrenaline rush of climbing six trees to complete a multi earlier, this was a nice simple find. Quite happy to keep my feet on the ground. All is well with the neatly tucked away container and contents. TFTC SteMicMitSar
A nice hide, definitely don't notice it at first, the shorter players had no chance. TFTC
I'm 5'2 and couldn't see it but thankfully used my phone camera for extra height. Could reach it easily from there.
Ground is a bit soggy so don't wear nice shoes like I did!

I thought of finding one today wasint great weather but that means not many muggles i went looking for it plus i had no data so i had more of a challenge which i wasint to concerned about so i got really close to it looked around and found it almost instantly it was in the open abit so i logged it and secured it a bit more. TFTC
A spot I'm sure I've visited before but oh well if so here we go again. The cache was found without difficulty although I missed getting the clue [sigh]. TFTC
We still had an hour or so to use before getting the car back, so this was the next nearest to target. We got something to eat for lunch and chose this park to eat in. It’s not the nicest view on the lower car park, but it was close to this cache. Scout leaders were assembling for some meeting or outing being organised. None of the kids involved had arrived yet. I found the cache but needed my Walking Ladder to retrieve it. It was just out of my natural reach.
I have found quite a few of these "Gotta Find A Cache" caches. This red devil was a quick and easy find, hidden in a very typical location. I started the day with a DNF so it was nice to have an easy one here.
Thanks stemicmitstar for this cache.
Needing to find more caches in the Knox LGA for a challenge cache at Whittlesea, TanSaf invited me down here and volunteered to be my chauffeur.

After working on some caching business I slowly made my way home. It was getting late so it wasn’t long before the clock struck midnight. Where could I stop along the way?
This was to be the cache. Initially heading to the wrong cache location I readjusted my search and looked again. Sure enough the cache was there, I just needed to look.
Thanks SteMicMitSar for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

At Walker Reserve watching the young fella make some runs. Popped down and 1 cheeky reach around later, the cache was in hand. Thanks and giddy up
Very clever hiding place! A bit scary to retrieve, but we succeeded nonetheless. Thanks stemicmitsar.
Checked in on this one and I am happy to say that it is still in place and waiting to be found
A quick check to see if there was any caches in the area while driving past. Bingo.
A quick find. Thank you for maintaining this cache for over 10 years!!

27,072. Found with minniek during Day 4 of our Southern Australian meander.
After the excitement and rushed activities of yesterday, we aimed for a more relaxed day today grabbing firstly some Local Government Areas and then some special caches around the City. After our 7-11 Breakfast that we picked up last night, we checked out of our motel and hit the road. A cache in LGA Knox was first on the agenda, and we chose this one. A quick find by minniek. Signed/Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on to the next cache on our list.
Thanks stemicmitsar !!

Fitzy_1965 and I decided to do a bit of a whirlwind holiday visiting family and caching along the way. We did three states in four days. Tiring but so worth it. We are just waiting for Western Australia to open up and then we will be there too!
Day 4 was another jam-packed day before heading home. After getting to our hotel around midnight, a sleep in was in order. Then we targeted some LGA’s before heading into the City for a few virtuals and an earthcache. Then off to the airport before flying back to Sydney and then driving home.
All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise stated. Thanks so much to all CO’s for your hides.

This gotta find a cache series has certainly been helpful for those moments where I've got to find a cache for the day! Today was one such day. Mum and I headed to Knox to do a spot of Christmas shopping and finished up as the shops were closing. We loaded all the goodies into the car and I found this cache on the map, hooray it's only three minutes away!
I pulled over in the dark and was slightly confused by the buildings near GZ but Mum remembered them from a long time ago and explained the area. I located the likely hiding spot, did a circle or two and soon had the log ready to sign. After putting it back I jogged over to the car and scared Mum as I opened the door quicker than she expected! Definitely got the blood pumping hahaha!
Thanks for a very handy cache!

Found on a warm windy Saturday afternoon! I looked at the hint and on approach saw it straight away - the red really stood out! Fantastic hiding spot. I left a novelty eraser and a bouncy ball for any kids that find the cache next. Thanks so much for the fun!
