A little sneaky for the kids who were grabbing everything metal they could find. Found it within 10 mins.

Thanks for the Cache Crazy Natgirl, I was in that Hardware chain store and when I got back to the car, I realised that there was a Cache nearby. Usually I am there with " I'm in a Hurry", but today, on my lonesome, I was able to give it the search it deserved. The container was in good condition and I Autographed one of the few spaces left in the log while sitting in my car, then palmed the container and slid it back home while appearing casual, blending with the surroundings.Regards from Victourer
Found with icw. The people in the carpark were either walking briskly to one of the large shops or in a hurry to get in their vehicle and exit. None of them even looked in our direction as we searched the most likely spots at GZ. Tftc in what otherwise would have been a boring piece of concrete.
Nice easy find, Bunnings car park only half full, so no pressure mid week. The spotted it before I did. TFTC
I had to dodge muggles left, right and center at this busy shopping location. I spotted the cache and did a quick grab and sign and headed off.
We were visiting Mrs Dromaniax's mother nearby, and after an enjoyable time there, we headed home.
We decided to detour slightly to pick up a cache.
There were quite a few muggles around, so we needed to be a stealthy as possible.
We were fortunate to be able to grab the cache unnoticed by anyone.
The cache is in good condition.
Thank you for this cache Crazy! Nat Girl

Little bit of searching around GZ before we found a structure that usually plays home to caches. TFTC
Sneaky Sneaky - Sooooooo many muggles around!!!
As with the others, the coordinates are not dead on target, but I guess that's why we need to put our geosenses to work

Cache #800 !!!
So happy to have reached another milestone!
The coordinates of thus cache are quite a bit off and even though usually I wouldn't mind so much, in a busy area like this it's really not great. Glad to have found it anyway. Cache could use some maintenance as the logbook is quite beat up. Tftc!

Nice quick find after my bunnings shop was done. Log a little damp, but goes with the current weather, still able to be signed TFTC.
This one took a little while to find, GPS was a bit off. Luckily geohubby spotted it once we extended our search. TFTC
Thought I’d check for any local caches on my trip to bunnings, was not disappointed
This one took some patience. Few people around. Had to wait for them to leave. The coordinates are about 5 meters off. Widened the search and looked from different angles. Get the right angle you'll see it. Fun find. TFTC.
Oh my goodness...how long do some people take to get in their cars and leave!!! I had to wait ages and ages for one muggle to get in his car and leave; he took his time, having a smoke, reading his phone and shuffling around in his boot. LOL When he finally left I was able to replace the cache but then I sat on a nearby seat for a while watching just to make sure no other muggles had itchy fingers. Thanks for this one Crazy! Nat Girl.
Almost a week after wild storms lashed the nearby suburbs and hills, potentially affecting many caches, this one is quite unaffected.
A quick opportunistic find after a Bunnings visit for an additional lead for our generator while our power is out.
I wandered over from the car to GZ and a quick glance was all that was required to spot the cache.

A Saturday arvo mission to Bunnings, and parked within 3 car spots of the cache! Spotted, no muggles. Signed it in the car, then a muggle parked right in front of the hiding spot was loading her car. So rehiding proved trickier than the find. All good, TFTC.
Had a good idea where this one would be but with muggles galore, it took me a couple of visits before I could locate it. Finally found, phew! TFTC
Oh , I love going to Bunnings . Don't hink I have ever been to the rebel shop . A quick grab after buying some stuff . Thanks Crazy! Nat Girl
Considering how close we live, we were surprised that we hadn't looked for this one. So many people as you can imagine two days before christmas but they were all more concerned about what they had to do than with us. Strange that this cache which is in plain sight has survived as long as it has. Thanks for the cache.
We live about 15 minutes or so from here so were a little surprised that we didn't already have a smiley here. What better day to do it than two days before christmas. We had to come to a shop up here to grab a last minute gift and the place was crawling with people. Thankfully, they were so engrossed in what they were doing that they took no notice of us. We were very surprised that this cache was out in the open as it was. Maybe there is some cache creep involved although our GZ was within the parameters expected. We did put it back exactly where we found it. Thanks for the cache.
I spotted this one straight away and wondered if it should be better hidden. I was tempted to move it slightly but in the end I replaced it as found.
Thanks Crazy! Nat Girl.
Thanks Crazy! Nat Girl.
6 Oct 2019: Streak Day #220/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Found it after lunch with friends at the cafe nearby. Thanks Crazy! Nat Girl for the cache.
After pulling up in the car park and taking a look around, I was pretty sure of where it would be. Unfortunately muggles were everywhere but I was able to stealthily grab this cache and sign it before tracking off to grab the Scout Hall cache up the road.
Thanks for this cache!!
Thanks for this cache!!
This was not where I was expecting it! Once I opened my mind and opened my eyes, it was not too hard to find. Thanks for the cache.
Took a bit of searching but found it was where I suspected, just didn’t search hard enough the first time. TFTC
Dropped into Bunnings to pick up some supplies so took the opportunity to grab this one... it was sitting nice and snug in its hiding place .. it’s been on my radar for a while and today was the day .. no muggles around so it was an easy retrieval .. thanks Crazy! Nat Girl for placing this cache
It took a bit to find with the coordinates off, however, clever thinking 8 year old started searching in the right place which resulted in an easy find.
Lots of muggles here today but managed the find without attracting too much attention ! Thanks!
I originally found this cache with my Mum heymissjo, but now that I have my own account, I am logging. Thanks for the cache.
For the past few years I have cached as part of "team heymissjo", but now I am old enough to have my own account so logging the find. Thanks for the cache.
Waiting for husband at Bunnings, happy to see that there is a cache nearby so we used our waiting time to find the cache! TFTC
After walking around for a few minutes with no success I widened my radius a bit and soon made the find. TFTC!
After searching for a few minutes in the area I thought it must be....widened the search with success!
Nice to get this local one

The third find on a solo cache run and a hide that I later uncovered was WhytKnight's 50th find. The coords were a bit out but got there in the end. tftc
TFTC I would have taken a seat to think about this one but it's been raining so mostly wandered around as if waiting for someone. If you find yourself magnetically drawn to somewhere like I did you should get your smile.
I was over this side of town this morning so took the opportunity to "go shopping" for a cache. By chance I parked within about 20 metres of the cache and quickly located the general area of GZ. With many muggles about, I wandered into the nearby "big boys' toy shop" to have a look around before returning for another try. On my return, the "unreliability" of an iPhone as a GPS came to the fore... it was now insisting that the cache was somewhere different about 20 metres away. As I was standing in more likely location, I went hunting and soon came up with a little container.
Thanks **Crazy! Nat Girl** for hiding a cache here.

This cache has always been on the to do list. Shopping for fibreglass resin to repair the canoe we broke the asking the Star Wars Cache trail, we found ourselves parked at GZ. Happy for a quick find... signed log... now off to get our boat back to seaworthy! Tftc!

As with others, it was found a few metres away. Used geosenses.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Crazy! Nat Girl

Decided to look for the one closest to our home finally. Nobody around, about 5 minutes of searching and we had it. Out around 10 metres on coordinates.
First find of the evening, a methodical search uncovered the hide thanks for another Bunnings hide
My second attempt this one with an extra set of eyes thanks to my geo daughter we found it on the last day of 2017 so will get the 2017 last cache of the year souvenir. We will have to look for another one tomorrow to get the first for 2018 thanks for the cache. We found the coords out by a bit.

It was a wet, miserable old day and I was in the middle of a crazy 22 hour domestic chauffeur stint. I was out Chirnside way with a couple of hours break between gigs.
Despite the weather, I was always going to go cache hunting and this was my first stop.
Muggles were a bit of an issue, but with some patience and the right angle, this was soon signed. Replacing it was a bit trickier, lol. While I waited out some muggles, I went for a stroll inside and overheard two guys laughing about the fact that each hadn't realised that the other was a welder. I decided it was prudent to remain anonymous, however, lol.
Plain sailing on the return.
Thanks Crazy! Nat Girl, for a smileyfying my day.

Nice cache find while in the area today.
Quick search found a likely spot and the container.

10/8/17 8:59 pm #2403 finally found this sucker.... been here a few times now being a local .... thanks for the adventure
Disappointing I couldn't find it today, muggles everywhere.
The only thing I found was a mouse. Sadly he is no longer.

Resorted to geosense and hints and broadened search when I read cords off a little by 10 metres.
This has been on our radar for a number of months, but with life being crazy-busy and other caching challenges taking precedence this has sat in-explored.
Fast forward to a wet evening where geo-boy needed to burn off a little energy and geo-dad needed a replacement tape measure; throw in a souvenir and voila!
Made liberal use of past logs, and needed to check the GZ twice before locating the well-hidden container. TFTC.

Taking on board what others have written about been a little out I found this cache with in a couple of minutes. Which I'm very glad as I felt I looked quite out of place
We had attempted this cache a few months back at the weekend but given up due to the number of muggles around. As today was ANZAC day we thought it would be quiet. There was a little bit of activity but we did feel a little exposed. Anyway we found the cache quickly and signed the log. TFTC
This was third time lucky with this one. The area wasn't very busy today and I found it once I widened my search with the help of previous logs, thank you
I drive along the maroondah a couple of times a week and figured I should finally stop off for this one. As mentioned in other logs, the cache is 9m E of the given coordinates. Once the geosenses got thinking, it was an easy find. Thanks for the cache and I hope the CO at least gets lots of sausages from here!
