Still on the ground. It was exposed so I have moved it to a safer spot just a couple of metres N. Prickles still apply. Thanks OZseek.

Out on a cold wet Sunday night, gotta getta cache! Came to this one as it's one the closest left to home (4 km) for a little search amongst some very wet trees before using the hint for the find. Thanks to OzSeek for this one, nice park. Good first hide, keep them coming

Headed out tonight for another night caching run with my good mate and caching buddy Marshy (Blacklegend). Tonight we were in for a treat with some night caching into the hills around Marysville and Warburton. This was our first stop for the night and a nice quick and easy find. Thanks OzSeek.

We found this cache today at 1:15pm as the 5th of 24 on our Greensborough Loop Afternoon. A nice and simple drive past cache. Our 2nd cache find in this park. The old Kiwideb cache "Shakespeare in the Park", which we found over 7 years ago, used to sit in the opposite corner of this park. Thanks from D & H B-A.

After picking up the whole Hooked On Books Series today, the geokids and I decided we would pick up a few more caches on our travels home. I had worked out a few mystery caches and listed a few traditional caches on the way home. The weather had cleared this afternoon, but we were will a little wet from the days caching. We parked on street next to the substation and searched under a prickly tree and found nothing. I then read the hint and widened out search. The cache was found some distance south of the posted co-ords and the log was signed. Another cache in the bag and off we go.

SmileIt was a fun spot, a cache that did make you feel people were watching behind their curtains.. certainly that guy shuffling around the top of a near by driveway looked out of place... and the car parked on the WRONG side of the road? Yes it felt very secret agent... Oh and cache location was bit out but the hint made me certain, perhaps you could write 70 cms nth of the dog poo too? Wink

I decided to take a bit of a lunchtime sojourn for a cache find and this was first on the list. The O3 was doing some jumping around and the weather was closing in so a quick squiz at the hint Red Face resulted in the find at 13:45.

As others have mentioned, the pen is too long for the lid to be able to be closed properly. Given the style of hide, that could result in waterlogging problems once we get some bad weather Surprised.

TNLNSL. Thanks dinky888.

PS: There was no sign of the Rescue Unit #6 TB in the cache and upon looking at its [url=http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=2792911&page=1]page[/url], there is no indication that it was ever placed in here in the first place Surprised.

On the way home from finding one of the Time Waste Caches we decided there would be just enough time and daylight left to grab this cache as well and we were happy there were no muggles nearby due to the failing light. GMelb found it whilst JMelb was looking elsewhere. We couldnt see too much of the geological surrounds due to the failing light but what we could see looked interesting and we appreciated the nearby streets named after authors etc

Coords were a bit out so had to rely on the hint. Found at 1:20pm. The in-cache pen nib is getting damaged because the pen is too long with top on. TNLN TFTC
