TFTC! 15 October 2024 12:42:16pm 8616 thanks to pimpmyballoons for the cache! A relatively quick find!
A couple of days on the other side of metropolis in the company of TeamAstro. Just met a fellow Intrepid Camper owner having passed her house on the way to this cache. Geocaching certainly gets me out meeting new people!Thanks pimpmyballoons for showcasing this area and contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!
Well welcome. Big trees!Thanks pimpmyballoons and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! | | I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I was looking in all the wrong places, last find hid it back exceptionally well. I persisted and found it.
Gorgeous view and cache in great condition. Doing a few of these around this area today, a fun afternoon, now off to a local tavern for tea!
Found at 16:24We were in the area and had time for a few caches. A quick find here once I found the right tree. I replaced the container with a little cover.Thanks pimpmyballoons for the cache
Quick find - I keep my horse Sadie around the corner and just went out to get her feet done & take her rugs off for the warm week ahead. Thought I'd quickly grab this one. Heard a beep as I was getting out of my car & my fellow cacher friends husband was driving past - I'd been sprung! He's a muggle but I think he's slowly being converted...
Be mindful of how soft the roadside is if you're pulling over - I have a 4WD & it was a bit slippery! TFTC ??

Dropped trackable that I collected from Pakenham a couple of days earlier. it had been sitting dormant for eight months, so hopefully this well visited caches will help it on its travels.
All this week I have been looking for the best coffee on the peninsula. It hasn’t been a fruitful search especially when the place with the best score on Google was closed this morning due to a family emergency.
So I looked for the next best score and that was in Shoreham. I was worried when I saw they also sold wetsuits and surfboards but usually places like this are gold mines.
I grabbed a coffee and left wondering why it wasn’t tipping into my mouth. That was because it had two lids and also the reason it was tipping on my shirt and not my mouth. After all that I was happy it was tipping on my shirt because it was horrid. Normally when you ask for a Flat White you get milk. All I got was two shots in water and a skank in my mouth that couldn’t be removed. We are on holiday and so are keen to support local business but don’t go to that shop is you like coffee. It wasn’t a great welcome to Shoreham. tftc

A great little pick up on the way down the Mornington Peninsula. The views along this stretch of the road to flinders are fantastic looking toward Phillip Island. TFTC.
We were heading over to Phillip Island to ensure we were there for the start of the Great Victoria Cache Crawl. We caught the ferry from Queenscliff and had laid ourselves a cache trail to follow around to Phillip Island.
The weather was great for caching as the sun was out and the wind was merely a gentle breeze.
We didn't find all caches along this road, but this one was one that we did. It was getting closer to dusk as we pulled up to find this cache.
We found the cache safe and sound, Thank you -Lisette- for this cache and to pimpmyballoons for adopting and maintaining this series.

Find # 10886
Found with sharkiefan.
The task for today was to tackle the Jack Speak series and a few around the area.
Despite the morning drizzle we still managed to make the Jack Speak finds along the road. Even with a DNF we still managed to work out the final.
Then when the rain passed and the sun was out we done more exploring and finding quite a few "Welcome to..." cache at each town we passed coming back up.
Throwen in was a couple other puzzles we had solved.
A fun day had over on the Mornington Peninsula with a total of 45 smileys for the trip.

Jack Speak Day.
We had planned this trip a while ago and had the puzzles solved even longer ago.
Depsite the wet weather and gloomy looking day, we decided to head out and have a crack, prepared to give it up if it became too miserable.
Pleasantly we ended up with some beautiful if not windy weather and had a great time out this end of the state.
Some of these "welcome to..." caches were on the list, and others were added along the way as they all were pretty good caches and I became somewhat obsessed with finding all the ones we came across. Tftc

I went out with Jetsons23 today to try and tackle and maybe finish the Jack Speak series and grab a few others along the way.
I just got back from the Townsville Mega caching in 30 degree humid days and I welcome the very cool weather here today.
Thank you for the cache here -Lisette- and pimpmyballoons

Out with oshfam on this cool but fine day to hopefully to grab a few caches before the rain comes. Thanks for the hide.
Heading home and a couple of late searches. This was a quick find. Thanks to -Lisette-/pimpmyballoons for the cache.
A nice day for a drive down to some as of yet unexplored areas of the Mornington Peninsula.
A little rain while in Somers but it cleared up and ended up being quite nice.
Fourth find here and no trouble at all.
Cache was found with lid open, so signed and closed up tight before re-hiding.
Thanks

After a cloudy week finally some full sun. So we spent the morning surfing at point leo and just to round it up pull over for a cheeky cache on the way home.
Quick find, all in order, dropped a tb.

After being welcomed to Point Leo with a teeny cache, I noticed this one not far away.
A little detour was made and it was a quick find.
Now on to the popular general store, that I am told stocks local wine, cake and art - what more could one ask for?!

After visiting a friend nearby I decided to grab some caches including the jack speak trail which I had solved long ago.
A much quicker find on my way to the tail end of jack speak.
Thanks -Lisette- for the cache.

Continuing on to find a couple of the Welcome to... series. Nice size to did a swap of swag. SL at 11.18am Took: gemstone Left: feathers Pathtag #7318 TFTC Lisette
Quick little find with Zoe45 on our way to flinders for a day of caches, left a little purple treasure
Nice quick find today on my way back to work now that we can do some of these now. Made sure to wear gloves as I handled the cache. Tftc
Managing to park at the side of the road practically five metres from ground zero, I was hoping this would be a much quicker search than the last Welcome to cache. The cache was spotted almost instantly although well hidden. Signing without being seen by passing traffic seemed difficult. Returned for the next finder. I do wonder how many of this series I've now found and if I can in turn complete them. Thanks for placing these Lisette.
#4016 Last find for the day made at 7:30pm. Exhausted after lots of walking during the day collecting caches. A nice quick drive by was a nice way to finish the day 
. TFTC Lisette.
. TFTC Lisette.We thought we would do a few caches around here today, but with intermittent heavy rain it wasn't that great a day for it. This being a drive-by though, made it perfect. When we found it the cache was in full view, so when we re-hid it we made sure it couldn't be seen. Thanks for the hide.
Out with my geo son today doing our first geo trail together. We stopped to checked this one out along the way. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache Lisette

It was leafotwind's idea to see if we could knock off the Jack Speak series (which he'd done the virtual hard yards on), and maybe turn the outing into a 50+ day. I provided the vehicle as he's, er, between cars at the moment, and despite the weather not quite cooperating, we achieved our goal, and some.
Only one DNF, which is pretty darn good considering my usual blindness to one particular kind of hide which happened to predominate this afternoon.
-Lisette-, thanks for a fun trail of caches.

I had solved the series some time ago and had always intended to try and combine it with a couple of the shorter series' put out by other cachers to achieve a tally of 50 for the day. I thought some company might be in order both to add to the fun as well as provide a separate set of eyes. Nirgalagrin answered the call and a good thing too! He dialled in a little earlier than I and a number of those bisons might have taken a lot longer without him!
We did end up hitting 50 for the day and amongst those found the only 5/1 trad in the whole of Victoria by happenstance!
Thanks to all the COs who placed these caches for everyone to enjoy and indeed in the case of the Jack Speak series have maintained them for all these years.

Found whilst in the area for the long weekend and after completing a short geo run along the local rail trail. Unfortunately I read the name of the cache and pulled up too short in the location I assumed it would be in....! Back in the car and another 70m down the road and we soon had the cache in hand and approaching GZ from a different direction. Signed log, replaced cache and back to camp for us. TFTC
Nice day out with the fam to collect the car that carked it in Balnarring not so long ago. Quick find. TFTC
Returning to find some more of the caches from a nearby series. I picked up this cache along the way. I found a safe place park off the road and after a quick search I soon had the cache in hand ..Shoreham is a nice quiet place to visit TFTC
A quick stop on the way home from founders to collect the daily cache in an effort the complete the calandra and to maintain my streak. Cache was nice and easy to locate and was back in the car on way home.
Thanks -Lisette- for the cache.

Every day before the Melbourne Cup public holiday, work completely closes, so that gives me a paid long weekend. The plan with this day off was to hit the Mornington Peninsula.
I parked about 80 meters away in a nice big location for the car. The benefit was that the cache was seen from a distance to way I approached.
Thanks for the cache -Lisette-

“Who knew this was here” - lozloz93. Cool little spot. Welcome to Shoreham! Thank you, scrubs n teach
Over the long weekend I was at Scout camp at Clifford Park with two of our boys whilst the rest of the family were at Flinders. The camp finished on Monday morning and since it is school holidays I drove the scout boys there to spend the rest of the hols at Flinders.
I was feeling pretty rotten with flu, so after the drive I spent most of the day before I had to go back to Melbourne in bed.
Despite feeling average, I decided to pickup a few drive by caches on the way back. It was too good opportunity to pass.
This one was my first stop and it was pretty quick find. I signed the log, TNLN and went on my wobbly way to Welcome to Pint Leo.

Headed down to Flinders with SciFiRulz and PapaGrouch today with a view to work on the Jack Speak series I started a couple of years ago. TFTC
Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and WeRAmused. Another find on our caching trip today. TFTC
This was an easy find compared to some we’ve looked for today. Picking up most of the Jack Speak series, we had to add a few extras on route. This was one..
Quick find by geo son (he had it in hand before i even got out of the car) as we start camping trip. TFTC
After visiting friends in Shoreham, we stopped for this cache on the way home. Thanks Lisette
It's amazing where work takes you. I've been driving past for the past few months both morning and night. Great hide
Found today in a little family geocaching adventure. Hoping to find some wonderful views and exciting places to explore. TFTC
Today I had the day off so I decided to go and have a big day of caching around the Flinders to Balnarring area, with the goal of clearing this area out. With me have to attend a Welcome back party for one of my friends who was studying abroad for a semester. Anyways sadly my day was cut short as I had to drive around and do some surprise errand in the afternoon. Anyway this cache was quickly found with little to no hassle. I would like to thank you for the cache and the adventure.

Driven past here many times with no idea that OK a cache was so close. Thank you
Coords had me in another location and scanning the area we spotted a likely target. Geowife zoned in and discovered the cache. We took a trackable to move on, signed the log and back safe again.
