It was a lovely sunny day today so I decided to make my way back out here to find a few more caches in this series throughout the afternoon. I have already found a large portion of this Woodlands series, and was hoping to tick a few more off today. I had a very successful time caching while I was out here as I managed to find every cache I had intended to. There are still a few more caches remaining in this series I need to find, including the final, so I think that one more trip out to this area will be required in the future. The cache itself was a quick find, however, extracting the logbook was a whole other story. It was very scrunched in the bottom of the container and very difficult to extract. Fortunately, after some perseverance, I managed to finally free it from the cache. It was pretty full but I did manage to find a place to sign. I would personally advise the CO to consider checking on this one soon TFTC

NG & LG Found It!

Well hidden

TFTC.....nice hide, this one took a little while to find, the trees seemed to play havoc with the GPS, but then I remembered the hint and it all became clear. This location had a very different "feel" to the area we'd just walked through and the area from frilk and my previous visit. Still lovely though!

Took a little longer than the others as we went a bit deep! Good hide

Find

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. Day 44/74, Tuesday. After working remotely today from my AirBnB apartment in Keilor Downs, I drove to the Woodlands Historic Park in early evening. I enjoyed this visit SO MUCH! Well, except that it was really hot for a Finn, 33 degrees. Other than that, this was an amazing evening. First of all, I saw so many kangaroos! Between 100 and 150, easily. They were all over. I love the kangaroos!! Secondly, this geocache trail is GREAT! I found all the caches (ah, no, there was one DNF - but all the others) quickly. The coordinates were very good. All the caches were in great condition. I also appreciated the hints A LOT! So, 26 finds and 1 DNF today. I will definitely come back here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!Thanks for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland! Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

Out and about today coming back from Epping to get the Jetski serviced. Thought i'd stop in here for the day to start my journey on the Woodlands caches. Managed to tick off a good 20 or so before receiving the phone call to come back and pick the ski up again.Thanks for the caches, All looked to be in good working order and condition, unless otherwise stated.

Found with Geobro a while ago and catching upTFTC:):)

Caching with the Geobro under the flight path - TFTC

Had to read the clue, but found it!

Has to use the hint but was good find

Having attended a recent event in Brisbane where a fellow cacher brought my attention to the geo tour in Ballarat and its up coming finish in February, i knew this was something I had to make an effort to get to.I also quickly realised that the attribute for the geo tour is the last one I need to achieve a personal challenge so the planning began.Today is day three of the mission and Ive completed the geo art and the tour so Im very happy. Todays mission is to get to 100 in this local LGA and then head towards Sunbury in the hope to pick up another 25 to also reach 100 in that LGA before my flight out tonight. Obviously this is for a local challenge cache at home. What else. Unfortunately I missed the events in Castlemaine. Time got the better of me.I jumped in The geowagon and ventured off the o soon find a nice parking spot. A short stroll later soon found me at ground zero. It wasnt long before cache was found and my name was printed for prosperity. I returned the cache to its hiding space and made my way back to the car. Ready to head to the next adventureA big thanks to the cache owners of Ballarat for making this cache available to be found.Cheers

GPS a bit off, but we found it thanks to the hint.

Stunning area.

My kids and hubby are at two different camps with Scouts. I set myself a goal to complete this series so I could sign off a Challenge cache of 100 caches owned by one CO. Unfortunately, five are behind a locked, fenced off area for Eastern Barred Bandicoot. It was an amazing day with the weather being perfect. I started at 11am & finished at 5pm. Big day!!

Enjoyed a lovely day here with excellent company of moonbi and even the weather was on our side. With a long day walking around managed to find almost half the caches on offer. We will be back Thanks for all the work that has gone into placing and maintaining this great series

Many thanx to Team Woodlands for the series and ongoing maintenance - well done
Look forward to a return visit to complete the series

Tftc!!

Very cool

TFTC

Au Fait and I had a lovely walk doing the caches in this loop. It was nice to walk in this area with the trees, stumps and posts all telling their own story.
Thanks for the caches Team_Woodlands.

Found 20 down in the series

Day 2 of this set, find 16/100.

Given the weather report for the next few days I thought I might duck out while the rain was holding off and get a bit of cache exercise in.

I’ve been slowly ticking off this series so thought I’d knock off one of the sections.

I was intrigued by a nearby tree that was barely rooted in the ground and using its tree family for support. Nearby was the cache with plenty of room to sign.

Thanks Team_Woodlands for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

GPS was off on this one but the hint made this a fairly quick find.

TFTC

Agree with Amanda and mark. GPS is a little bit off. About 3-4 meters. Follow the hint.

Great hide! (Ps Logbook was very wet, tried to sign but was too waterlogged)

I has been a while since I have been out to Woodlands, but I had a free morning, so I thought I should make a start with this series.
Unloaded the deadly treadly about 9am on a cool overcast day, just perfect for a ride.
The first half a dozen had pristine log books, and were all in excellent condition.
Then I came across one with a quarter full logbook! What is happening here? Just past the next cache I met up with the CO who was doing maintenance. Stopped for a chat.
All the other caches I did today were in good condition - a great job with the maintenance.
Thanks for keeping this series up long enough for me to get around to them
Completed a loop of about 35 caches this morning. I will be back.

I thought I remembered this one being a lot lower.
Thanks, Robmc.

TwoEms have not been doing the Woodlands 100 series in order, so when we headed towards 84 from 83, the sugar gum plantation was a splendid surprise. Thank you for the cache.

Beautiful forest

Found it

Not where hint suggests

No where to be seen

TFTC.
Found where hint suggested. Just some bark on top.

TFTC. After some searching we read previous found log and actual hint and found it!
Please watch out for spiders though!!

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to Team_Woodlands for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Great series. I thought I'd incorporate Geocaching with a trail run through this lovely park on a weekend visit to Melbourne. Thank you

This cache was found on the ground, I placed it back where the hint suggested.

After dropping some family off at the airport, I continued tackling this series. It was very warm today, and most of the trails were out in the open. I packed some sunscreen along with my water bottle and made sure I was reapplying it every couple of hours.

All up I walked 11.5km today, and took care of a little under 30% of the entire series, only a few more visits, and I'll have them all done!

All caches were found in good condition, with a few exceptions.

Find No. 3944. Found with FUF009.

A day trip down to do the Woodland series of caches.
Took our bicycles and FUF009 came with us.
Arrived at the gate, unloaded our bikes, had a cuppa and off we went getting our first cache at 8.55am.
We worked our way through the series stopping several times to watch the coming and going of the jets at Tullamarine.
After a long warm day with several challenges, we arrived back at the car park for a rest and well earned cuppa.
We put the clues together, punched in the co-ords and went and claimed the final cache of the series.

Find # 11490

Found with Tyred n Cranky.

Well this has been a long time coming, to do the Woodlands caches. Many a plan has fallen through due to health and pandemic and work issues. But finally all was on our side for a cracker geocaching day to end 2022.

With bikes loaded up we were off, left St.Arnaud just before 6am and had the first cache signed at 8.55am. Then it was just one by one, following the GPSr.

From flowing trails to bush bashing (with and without tall grass) and even a bit of water, we had a lot. All the while the sounds of planes going overhead, birds around and the odd 100 roos thumping the ground when we disturbed them.

We managed to make good time and accomplish all we set out to do. Despite the heat and a couple of hills I had to walk up.

We believe luck was on our side with the back paddock being opened, after seeing so many had commented on it being shut.

All in All, personally, it was great to finally get this series done with a couple others thrown in that are in the park.

Oh and by the way, we got back home just after 9.30pm. A big days outing.

Out here for my 3rd visit to try and find more of this great series.
Will post a better log on the final

We had arranged to meet Crustyvarmint (together his faithful sidekick, Pilot) and RedcbBlueBM to tackle some of this series of caches. Apologies for some generic logs. The weather was good and the caches we tackled were all found after short searches. It was nice to see some variety in the type of hides. We ended up finding 15 caches collecting clues when provided before heading back to our cars and lunch after which we went our separate ways. At times we had an audience of kangaroos but otherwise Woodlands was fairly quiet. In some spots it didn't pay to stand still due to the numbers of ants! Thanks to Team Woodlands for the cache.

A day out with Crustyvarmint and Lynjoh to get some caches here. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the company. Thanks CO for these caches.

Weather was lovely for caching today as Lynjoh, Redcb, Pilot and I spent some time walking in the reserve. We found all the caches we looked for, and returned to the cars suitably exhausted.
Thanks for the series, Team Woodlands.
