Paddock views are nice, found it easy! With DottyDoo2024

Easy find will have to come back and do paint ball with RedNotes

TFTC SL - nice easy one on my way home. Cache in great condition:)

Lol

On my way home from our annual Easter camp out at Cape Paterson with family. Never been down this road before and another interesting diversion for the kids. Nice easy find. Thanks for bringing me here Gonefishen07

Found with pheonix1111 after realising we were on the wrong side and then spotted it easy as I’ve seen this hiding place before. TFTC

Found this one with eggplanthat, grateful for an easy one after giving up on another before this find

Easy find if you found Archie’s creek

Fun little find. Lots in common with its neighbours.

Great find

Quick park and find, very muddy and smelly area so lucky not there long

I was unaware of a paintball area being back here - though it's not my sort of game anyway!
I'd much rather be snooping out the front looking for a geocache!
Lucky for me, that's exactly what was on the agenda, and without anyone around to watch and/or secretly pelt me from afar either.
I started in the wrong spot, having misinterpreted the map somewhat, but eventually wandered over to the correct place - of course, the obvious one.
The logbook was subsequently signed and all replaced back again.

Thanks to Gonefishen07 for the hide!

Found this container well camouflaged. Thankyou!

Found it our 5 th for the day and yes interesting location for paint ball nice easy find thanks

with a black and blue toe my geocaching adventures planned for today somewhat on hold. Still happy to have one find today on my first day of LSL after catching up with family for lunch.

Out for a great afternoon of caching. Great location and very interesting sites. The back blocks. Found with Monica_is_evil Thanks for taking me here. TFTC

TFTC! Quick park and grab on our way to do the shopping with diablo1234.

Nice quick one! I left a little something. Thank you for the cache!

We’d read ahead, so we kept an eye out for the paintball arena from up on the road, what an interesting side-business! Got to GZ and took in our surroundings - had a little chuckle as we realised we were being serenaded (or is that haunted? haha) by the all too familiar sound of a vacuum pump working hard, in the distance Another quick find here, really wish we’d had more time for caching, lots of stories to be told up this way! SL TFTC

Very good spot

TFTC

My first geocache since Covid. So nice to be out and about again. Looking forward to doing more caches over the summer.
I hope the paintball will be able to run again soon. TFTC

Out grabbing a few caches before school pick up this afternoon. This is a interesting little spot! Cache was in good nick. Thanks for bringing me here and TFTC

Watched the cows walking under the bridge on their way to get milked before getting this one

Found. Tftc

It seems safe enough to re enable now.

Disabling till life gets back to normal. Who knows when that is going to be

Moo!

Beautiful land, with flies and paintball in abundance. Out of interest Genghicat googled properties for sale. Ahh all over a million. Out of our range. This was a quick cache in good condition. Tftc

A quick find here. Thanks for the cache cows were heading home to be milkef

Nice easy drive by. Smells very rural here.

No paintball today, and just enough room to park in driveway. Quick find in an obvious spot. Found with Tagalong Wife.
Thanks for placing this cache Gonefishen07

I was heading into Wonthaggi for a day's work and was a little early... so a quick detour was in order to come and find this cache... a quick find in an expected location.

Thanks **Gonefishen07** for putting it here.

Nice n easy tftc

Found it. Almost gave up lol

Yay

Geo son loves this place!

I drove down to Wonthaggi as Geo daughter had a dental appointment
The dentist canceled, I wasn’t very happy but there was no sense complaining.
A few Geo’s on the way home was my idea, found a few detours sling the way which just meant we went the long way and grabbed a couple more.
Thanks for providing a cache to do along the way!
TFTC

Quick find merry Christmas

Found it

Two magnificent April days in a row is not all that common so when you get them you must make the best of them. Our visit to Wonthaggi was brief. Stopped at the market, grabbed a bite to eat and then info required for the local virtual cache. Now back on the road towards home. Again we took the roads less travelled as who nows what you will find like this cache. A quick stop had us all good to go again. TNLNSL. TFTC. KKams

Easy find.

Great cammo, I almost missed this one. I love travelling down back roads and finding things that I had no idea existed. I have a cache placed out the back of my town that is near a field archery place and have so many people say, "I didn't know this place existed". I'm glad I geocache for this reason, to see new things. Tftc.

Tftc

TFTC. Signed and returned.

Thanks

Done

Me and Mr Jones we left a braclet and business card of my art page/Took finding Nemo and Thank you Penny and spouse for the Smilie badge it made us smile

I was expecting a black and blue container but was to be disappointed. Still, nice to find a cache out here.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

I'd heard about this place, but never knew where it was, until today. Now this was a quick easy find as the patrons left nearby.

Thanks Gonefishen07 for this placement.

Found with Mansgirl on a caching couple of days. Thanks.

Have never done paintball before - not really my thing but was happy to stop for a quick drive by find on our way to Wonthaggi. TFTC.

Took the back way to Wonthaggi for a change and picked this one up along the way. Thanks.

Quick find in our way home from our Easter holiday. Clearly taking the cache route home Tftc.

Suscoe had a bit of exploration work today trying to find a good number of caches that we missed this week as we were wandering the countryside of this area.
We are enjoying wandering the country roads and taking in the farmland scenes around here, Some fine looking cattle too.
A cloudy start to the day with drizzle keeping things cool, a strong wind at times and later on some delightful sunshine too.
30th find of the day.
Well this is one thing we haven't done and probably wont do.
Great to see where we would go if we did want to do this.
Thanks to Ginefishen07 for this cache.

Hi there Gonefishen07.

We found your cache "Paint me Black and Blue"at 11:51:00 AM today, & this now makes our find count 12634.

Our cache run today started with another aborted attempt to fill a hole in our D/T grid - the rain was so bad that we just headed back to the car. Our alternate plan was to log a random cache and then navigate from cache to cache using the "next closest" method before returning back to camp for a rather late lunch.

After we were suitably refreshed we trudged our way along the beach to finally find the elusive 5/4.5 cache.

Today we ended up logging 16 and DNFing 1 caches.

Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache around 2m from where our GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Got it... Tftc

Out and about with xambo4u and after the event we headed off to find a few caches. Decided to do a little drive out of town. Cache was quickly found in an obvious location. TFTC

Found this one today on my trip from Bass to Coal Creek. This was another isolated cache for a NZ challenge cache I am doing currently. Nice easy find but I don't particularly like this game. Signed log.

Thanks for the cache Gonefishen07.

Found quickly - just a beautiful area - thank you so much for bringing me here - tflc

Not too hard to find, look out for spiders though

This was a great place to place the cache. We did have to act natural a few times when cars passed.

We beat you hynes!

2nd day and found it.
Finally

The paint ballers were playing today but we were still able to grab the cache without any muggle trouble. Thanks. Silkyie

Found is shebec

Nice quick find

Quick drive by now onto the next cache TFTC

Another find! Hope this streak continues.

Found it! This was our second attempt our first attempt last week ended when we got rained on after only just arriving! Didn't take or leave anything just signed log book & returned to where it was found. TFTC

Day 4 was our final day of our South Gippsland holiday and caching adventure which saw us (me and the 4 & 6 year old geokids) exploring the back roads to Melbourne then onto Ballarat. This was a nice quick grab but the gate was creaking which freaked me out a little! Lol. Many thanks

TFTC. We had spent the morning readying the Motorhome for our Sunday departure to warmer climes. I was determined to get to 500 caches before we left, so this afternoon did a loop from Inverloch through Kongwak , Dalyston and Wonthaggi before heading to Inverloch.
I must see if the grandchildren want to play paintball with granpa and their uncles one day. In the mean time found this cache easily on a drive by.

KWAB found it! Love the disguise, very clever!

Found with Geobears. sorry for the late log TFTC

Found with Geobears, Allanb & Phoenix. TFTC

Found with SanB , Riley.B , AmyLouB and Phoenix.TFTC

Quick find today with my GeoBears and PB. TFTC

Kids found it

Another quick find and our final one for the day. We also found a second trackable.

Camped at Korumburra and today we went sightseeing, picking a few caches along the way.

Parked in the driveway, as the gates were still closed.
Cache was found quickly, and we exchanged trackables.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Gonefishen07, for us and others to find.

TFTC looks like a great spot for a game of paint ball !!

They hurt!

It was a beautiful day to be out finding some great caches with BorisB&Natasha.
After a very quick find we wondered how you get to have one of those going under the road. I'd love to come back here for a game too. Looks like fun.
Thanks for the cache Gonefishen07.

Out for another fantastic day of caching with Nut bear.
We really should be on our way home but couldn't resist stopping for a couple more on the way. A nice quick find here and we found the under road cattle track very fascinating. Just one more before we head home.
Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache.

Quick easy find. Out on my own today, trying to find a few local ones I've missed. TFTC.

Found it on a cold wet night. Sweet find. Back tucked away safely
Thank for the find

Quick find. Was being watched very closely by a herd of cows on the other side of the gate. TFTC

Out for dinner and we could not resist a stop "for just one more". Nice hide. Thanks to Gonefishen07.

This made us think. Had a ball finding this. The owners came down to check if we were ok. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the cache xx

Thank you for the cache. This made us think a bit harder. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Just explained we were scavenger hunting and they were happy to leave us be.
