Our first attempt at Geocache game. We found something that resembled a container but so t think it was it.
A very tidy little cache.Easy walk and quick find. Had a look at some of the local accommodation. We were not sure if they were plastic or not.Nice location for international students.TFTC and history lessons.

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.Down and dirty for this one.

Date: October 7, 2023 Time: 10:49 AMFind #14236After 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.Massive thanks go to SKI Pair for placing this one.
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.
Spending the day caching out with @mtrill3 this one had me crawling but was a nice quick find today. TFTC
On a sneaky midweek getaway we stopped to do this series of caches and we’re not disappointed all very interesting and clever caches this one was no exception, it was the last one for the series and I must say it’s one of the best we have done thank you for the time spent placing these caches
Visiting Churchill for caching day. Nice walk along the track around. Easy to find. Thanks SKI Pair for placing this cache ??
Had an enjoyable day finding caches around Churchill with the GF and the boy.
Thanks for the fun

Today I set out to track down something AND not get distracted by geocaching. Well that didn’t happen so while I came home empty handed, I did get to find some geocaches.
Okay, so I was supposed to only do one more but couldn’t resist. Loving your caches

I've started work just over the way at the uni this week and today, I decided to explore this path as it's been a few years and use the opportunity to drop a TB.
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.

Tried searching for this one twice and even with a hint from the CO came up empty handed. No worries this place is worthy of returning too.
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.
After a bit of a false reading from the GPS we found it in a likely spot

After a tough run earlier this year with all our caches and lots of maintenance required we went out to check again today. All good.
Out on a maintenance run today after returning from travel.
Container replaced and all good to go.

This may have gone missing in the recent floods. Disabling until we return home in October and can perform maintenance
First find! Whoo hoo! Who put the fake spider in there? Gave me a right fright lol
Great hiding spot, this was the very first cache we found so it took us a bit of hunting to find. Didn't take a pen with us so couldn't log our find. But we did get a photo.
First ever find was exciting to look first it didn't have a pen so could not log it but now I'm addicted
With the lockdown finally eased we were out again today on a further maintenance run.
Cache was found on the ground but is now back where it should be.
Happy hunting!

Never knew there was one here, specially with the amount of times I’ve been over this.
Thank you for the cache, retrieved trackable

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. I was expecting something more evil.
Thanks SKI Pair for the cache.

TFTC. Cache was left out in the open, put it in a place thats a bit harder to see. Left a couple of swops
Feel like an idiot. good time know the compass coordinates are spotty spot on!
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.
The original hiding place has rotted almost completely away and the cache has gone missing.
A new cache has been placed and the new coordinates will be posted.

Staying in one of the plastic houses it was only a short walk to this cache. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow.. for more. Quick find, but well hidden. Thanks SKI Pair!
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, well one of us is hobbling but he's put a brave face on it. Geodogs happy though with all the walks. Quick find for once lol. Tftc
Decided to grab a quick cache after work. My GPS was off as always and it took a bit of wandering round before a typical hiding spot jumped out at me. Initially my phone had me in the middle of the path over the drain. I'm down here starting a new job. Such a change from Canberra. Seems a lovely place though. I'm looking forward to exploring the place. No tb present. Tftc
After finding a suitable parking spot we finally set out on the trail, just our luck it started to rain as we were walking, but one cant just turn around when we have a mission on our hands. Cache was found safe and well in its hiddy hole all happy safe, but there was no tb in it. Tftc
My first find for May. Had to drop off the library books and thought we go for a walk. Tftc
Nice hide. Saw some people playing tennis. But luckily it wasn’t too close to the tennis court. Tftc
An easy find despite tennis players nearby. Walking around here for a while trying to find a few caches. Nice and quiet TFTC
Camped at Gormandale after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. Sixteenth for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC
