Winston Wander: At your leisure Churchill, Victoria, Australia
By SKI Pair on 29-Oct-11. Waypoint GC36VMB

Not ideal if you're scared of spiders

Was a bit tougher of a find. Needed to feel for it

Found it

Took a while. But got there in the end

I loved the variety of different containers and camouflage methods used. Most of the GZs were deserted due to the school holidays, but there were still a few muggles to deal with. Thanks to SKI Pair for a great day of caching fun!"Any day caching is a great day, but even better when the Co is a good friend.I found it after much searching.

I could not find it I thought it was at the fence but I look on the app and it looked like it was behind in the restricted area so I could not find it

Checked today, all good

Date: October 7, 2023 Time: 12:02 PMFind #14242After completing my Saturday ritual, a parkrun in a random town somewhere in Victoria, this time it was Churchill's turn. After a coffee with the run regulars, I went for a walk around town, picking up some caches along the way. It was a pleasant day for a wander.This one took a revisit, but a small expansion of the search area and the cache was in hand.Massive thanks go to SKI Pair for placing this one.

Out with Shumba7 on the geoscooter and geoeuc. TFTC.

TFTC found on a cold spring morning which soon warmed up to a lovely day. Found out on our electric wheels with Algae ️ scooting around the area. Nice place to visit first time here.

Heading down the line to do a bit of shopping but there is never a day out without some caching involved. Leaving the car at #5 made our way around the uni finding caches as we went. Thankfully searching on a Sunday as I imagine this one would be very tricky on a week day during school term.

Thanks SKI Pair

Struggled for a bit to find this one but it was a cleaver one

tftc - good quick find

Hehe

Spending the day caching out with @mtrill3 this was one leisurely stroll to retrieve this cache. TFTC

Great little cache

A quick grab on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks

Quick find as we finished our walk around Churchill enjoying some sunshine. Tftc

Visiting Churchill for caching day. Unfortunately came here on wrong time because of muggles were everywhere for basketball competition. Will come back another time. ??

Had an enjoyable day finding caches around Churchill with the GF and the boy.

Thanks for the fun

With another broken thumb I can’t do all the things I want to so geocaching it is! Happy with that btw. Found easily but wanted to go inside as I was rather hit at this stage. No cozzie with me today Tftc SKI Pair

Checked today. In good condition and ready to go.

Good hide

I went caching with my Opa and we 7, whilst I found 4 out of the 7 of them. TFTC

Tftc SkiPair. A gloomy winter's morning evolved into a marvellous sunny afternoon. Geograndkid was itching to get some caches and who am I to deny the enthusiasm.
So off to Churchill where I had previously only been once to nab a few in the short available then.
A successful 5 km stroll for us today, missing only 1.

My systematic search was an epic fail..

On arrival we were not sure what to expect but
Another quick find, just a matter of being systematic.

There’s a fence around it

After going for a bike ride today we decided we needed to walk out the muscles so stopped here to check out the university while there are no students are about.
Because I am into native plants I found walking past the gardens very enjoyable as there is some great specimens here.
This cache took a bit to find as we were looking from the wrong side
TFTC

Found it. Good fun

A little tricky as GPS was all over the place

Found with margaretforr1987

This one was spotted first by geokid, she was very excited to be FTF in our group TFTC

My iPhone had me walking in circles so I turned it off and used my geo-senses. Found it! Thank you!

So easy to find

Nice one

Thought we wouldn’t be able to get it but did good spot

There were lots of fences around building works close to GZ and I initially thought I won’t be able to get to the cache., but then I remembered the the COs mentioned earlier this afternoon they’d just replaced the log in it, so it had to be there. The Evil Muggle ended up finding it neatly tucked away in an inconspicuous place close to where the finding device said it would be. Thanks for another great cache around Churchill The SKI pair.

Out on a maintenance run today after returning from travel.
Work is still continuing in the area and appears as if this will be the case for some time. Managed to find a new location for the cache nearby

Cache relocated and now available.

Work was still progressing up until we left on our annual winter trip so won’t be able to rectify this hide until our return in October.

Reported work in the area, will investigate

So this was such a shame at first as the construction area is up! The cache sight has been knocked down as buffalo briggzie has found it before. We went in there and saw the structure the cache was knocked down on and saved the cache sitting on the grass underneath it
Signed the log, taken the cache with us, message me and I’ll return it to you as it would of got damaged

Very creative. Did it in the dark though

Loved it! Was very fun to find!

Great little find after a swim.

Thanks for the cache!

Didn't take too long. Great little spot.
Thank you.

Think someone has broken it

Lovely little hide, had a feeling it was going to be there when I was walking over to it, thank you for the cache
Signed the log as Buffalo

Convinced it no longer exists. Spent ages searching with peopl watching like we were nuts.. only to find NOTHING.. someone who knows what they're doing please come aid us as we're about to quit geocaching forever

Cool find

Nice tftc with maggiemae1801 and chiko24

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so i decided to head out for a day out of the house and what better way than a drive around your own area picking up caches, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves and sanitizer I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. A quick find, sadlly this was a bit of a dumping ground.

Thanks SKI Pair for the cache.

Hi SKI pair. Thanks for your Caches today.
Only got one more to do. I used to do parkruns here. You picked a go place to put them thanks

??

Sick

Found it finally

A lovely day today, and even though we are socially distancing and staying at home we took the opportunity to take our grandchildren out for a walk and do a maintenance run on some of our caches.
All good.

Found it

Out with the Geograndies. Michahat’s first cache and he found it. TFTC SkiPair

Found the geocache by the first time for the geobro! (micahat) TFTC

TFTC little brothers first official geocache. So proud of my little geobro.

My first official find

Tricky

Log is full if next person has a spare

Was a bit tricky but persist when you find it you will laugh

Pretty good

Great location
Nearly missed it though
Had to watch out for muggles...
TFTC

Very easy find, found within a couple of minutes. TFTC

Looked for over 20mins- even sticking my hand in the wall! Could not find. Not a great first attempt at finding one.

Tftc

Thanks it’s so easy

A quick find because it was sitting on top of its presumed hiding location. Once logged it was returned out of sight. Thanks SKI Pair.

A lovely day, so out on the bikes for a maintenance run. All good here!

We are enjoying a long awaited caching weekend away. Our research suggest there were some pretty good caches down this way. Today the plan was to hit up Churchill. Wandering our way through Winston series. Quick find for once lol. Tftc

Wasn’t going to go looking for this one today because of the muggles around, but thought, oh well I’m here now I will have a quick look. Took me a few minutes and I nearly gave up, but then I had a thought, and sure enough! There it was!
Thanks!

Very nice spot to hear the birds singing

Checked out this one with Buzzie1950, she had the eagle eyes and spotted the cache and did a happy dance. Tftc

Found after looking twice. Ok I was distracted by a phone call first time. Cache was found in good condition on sunset...and the streak continues.
Tftc

This should be our last find but you never know. BNM made short work of this one, which was great as it was getting rather chilly. Thanks for the cache.

Invited for a day out caching today with OHC GT37, P4506 and M&K (as a lot of logs were signed this way), we headed east to see if we could rectify some DNF’s from last time, and cache out some area. Some zig zagging occurred, but all clues & gems were found for M&K, a puzzle OHC & GT37 solved found, and some very high quality hides and scenic spots were discovered. A great days caching! A find made in the first place we suspected, but we had checked out a few other spots before checking thoroughly. Thank you so much for placing this one for us to find SKI Pair.

Out on a girls day out with OzHockeyChick, geoturtle37 and becNmonts caching in the local area.
It's been a busy day and it's starting to get dark but we managed to get this one in before it was time to head home. Another cache to help me with the Mystery at the Museum challenge. TFTC

A girls road trip today with Sebastian taking Mrs Papi4506, (Mark&)Kelly, beckNmonts and myself for a ride through Gippsland.
Possibly the last find of the day but who knows.
Cheers SKI Pair

Had to step our game for this one. Thanks guys

Well hidden but I’m the obvious

Nearly ready to give up then I had a thought. Aha! Tftc

Nice quick find signed and replaced tftc

Great hide tftc

Nice hide tftc

Thanks for the cache

Nice one to finish our walk around the west campus. Tftc

We've walked a circuit of caches. Time to drive to a few more. This one didn't take long. Nice and quiet on a Sunday arvo. TFTC

Found a few days ago with chaab002, took us a minute but we found it in the end. TFTC!

Good fun find! Thanks!

Not a big fan of spiders tftc

Took the drive to Churchill today to see if we could lessen the number of unfound caches we had there. After 3 hours, we had put a big dent in the numbers and converted them to smiley faces. Not one DNF today from all we found, which we're happy with.

Thanks to the CO for this placement.
