its gone

It's gone

Found the log paper and plastic bag of cache, no container, not sure if there's meant to be a consumer or what the cache even is...

Needs maitence

Sneaky little one, not where I looked first.
Lid was off and log book/bag exposed.
Signed and made sure lid was replaced securely
TFTC !!

Great one!! Thank you

Found it! Very good place to hide it

Nice one well hidden.
Lyn had some trouble getting to the log.
Thanks, the coffee place was not so busy.

Had a coffee & checked the cache. All still in place and waiting to be found.

Third time lucky? Nope nope and nope.

No muggles tonight, but this one had me stumped. Credit goes to geo-wife for this one! SL TFTC

My second attempt at this one on what I hoped would be a good day due to it being Sunday evening with showers but it still did me no good, I still had a lot of curious looks from passers by s and on top of that my gps wouldn't settle, it got down to 3 m and then it would just start going back to 4 and jumping around everywhere so I put that away and went in for some old fashioned looking and feeling to see if I would have any luck I also tried standing back and just looking over the area since many people have posted that they could see it straight away but that didn't work any better than my last ideas. I did see something I thought could have been a hiding spot that matched up with my 3 m gps but there was nothing there so I finally admitted defeat again, perhaps just a description of the the cache would help? Makes it hard when I don't know what size it is. Hopefully third times the charm when I search for it next time but we will have to see.

Out and about with Glanville Girls, McLookers & Tomstache at the end of a huge day of walking the Bay Trail, found after a short search, I imagine this well concealed container would be tricky to spot if you weren't on the right angle

TFTC

It was dark and we did. It have time for a coffee tonight. ST37E made the find.

Caching today with ST37E, Glanville Girls and McLookers we concentrated on doing as much of The Bay Trail as possible. We walked more than 15km, we started early and finished late and we had a great day.

The coffee shop was closed! ST37E and Glanville Girls found the cache on our way home from a long day.

Caching with Glanville Girls, Tomstache and ST37E.

After spending the day on the BayTrail with ST37E, McLookers and Tomstache, we detoured on the way home to collect a few caches. ST37E made the grab under the cover of darkness. Thanks for the hide

Grabbed a coffee and a cache ,NICE !
Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers

We tried again today, this time with 5 people. Alas, we couldn't find it again. This proved that even we can't find it. Thank you to Cooper who helped try and find it with us. Brainiac03

Did it be4 shopping at Woolworths, don't know if it's there but I probably didn't look hard enough. Oh well, I'll look there another time.

Nice hide ! TFTC

Catching up on some very late logs after a busy fireworks festive season.

Out for a day’s caching with The Drovers making the most of the cooler weather.

We can now see why you would think the owner is a geocacher. J

There were a few muggles enjoying the area but with a bit of careful parking Mrs Drover made a quick find and our names have been added to the log.

Many thanks Bounty Trackers for the hide.

Being a cooler day than the last 2, we went caching around nearby suburbs with Team Crackers.
Parked the geo-cruiser to block the view of muggles, and geo-wife made a quick find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Bounty Trackers, for us and others to find.

A quick find early in the morning. Approached GZ trying to look innocent as the local coffee shop people were starting to set up for the day. Spotted the cache pretty quickly and returned to the car to complete the log. When heading back to return the cache the local coffee guy called out and asked if I was playing that searching game. He went on to give directions to the approximate location where others had looked. I didn't have the heart to tell him I already had the treasure and thanked him for his assistance, returned the cache and headed off to work. TFTC

We are Touring Australia and today out and about attending medical appointments.

Managed to grab this clever little cache whilst here. It was far from easy and the cafe and kebab staff all noticed us and were egging us on. lol. Finally got it sussed. phew.

Thanks for allowing us to use Geocaching as a tour guide through this part of Australia.

Finally found this one. A tricky hide in a high muggle area. Must look very hard is my advice. Signed log and safely tucked away.

haha i think he might be!

Found at 3 am.... Don't ask

Replaced log and zip lock bag all good.

Found within a couple of minutes, on our way home from getting an ultrasound and decided to find a cache in our spare time! The log is a bit soggy and will need replacing. TFTC!

I decided that today was good day to retrieve this cache as it was a public holiday so minimal muggles would be around. I searched for a couple of minutes, before standing back to reset my geosenses and my eyes went straight to it. Cache in hand I retreated to my car to SL. The log has dried at little since previous log entries but does need some love. TFTC

Attempted this one as I was going down the Peninsula but couldn't find it and ran out of time. I will be back.

Date changed

Phew!!! Wow that was effort but good fun! Very wet inside it. Prickles.. must wear gloves.
Couldn't write in it too wet

Very wet needs new log. Maybe just put in description for people to pop it back right way up!

Note to CO. Cache contents was soaking wet and needs replacing.

Out with Geo daughter today in the pouring rain for an attempt at cleaning up a few semi-local caches not yet found.
A nice quick cache grab even though the police in the carpark thought we were up to no good till we explained to them what we were doing.
TFTC

Couldn't seem to find it, very well hidden!

TFTC

Found with Awegs, TFTC.

Quick find with Scotttiew but did,nt need coffee!!!

Eaten by prickles!!! Well hidden.

Couldn't find it,will have to try again another time

Found it.

Found with the help of the friendly security guard, tftc

We started looking in the wrong place but once the GPS settled down we homed in on the prize.
Thanks Bounty Trackers.
Chiefton.

Found TFTC. GPS and discription not accurate. Prob good idea to put proper discription down and or move from high risk area. Security helped only cause I was looking sus.

Found with a little assistance from the friendly local security guard! It sounds like he's helped a few people find this one! Thanks.

Geos Cafe Bar. Have driven past here a number of times but never gone in. Good to pick up a cache in an area I've spent a lot of time.
Thanks

Pretty good find!
Use the card inside

Good hide, heavy muggle traffic. Bigger than a micro

Dropped by this on the way home from checking out my sisters new house today. Sunday arvo, cafe not even open which was strange on such a nice day. With only 2 cars in the whole carpark it made for a nice easy find though. TFTC.

My GPS was playing up here so I was mucking around while Rabbitto actually searched for the cache, which he duly found in a logical spot, thanks Bounty Trackers.

We found this cache today at 11:45pm as the 8th of 26 on our Langwarrin to Mornington Caching Day in company of Alansee. After 30 minutes unsucessful at the previous cache, it was nice to spend just a few minutes here locating this one. Thanks from D B-A.

Finally got this one. Have stopped quickly many times with no luck until now. Seems easy now I've found it TFTC SL

The muggle factor was really high today but my stealth was even better.
TFTH. Signed log.

A quiet Sunday morning seemed like a good opportunity to tackle this cache. No problems today and after signing my name in the log I was happily on my way. Thanks for the cache.

Not sure we can count this as a "Find" as a very helpful security guard narrowed down the options for us. He was more worried about people hanging around the main gas inlet for the shopping centre (A fair call). He was happy to have a photo with us for the log though! A very high muggle area. SL TFTC

Geos staff logged in we have been on to you guys for a while now looked up online and now joining the search

TFTC

Good cache, It was a few minutes before we spotted the hiding place. No chance of a Coffee today as the café was closed. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

What a name for a Coffee Shop?? being quite late in the day, it wasn't open, so we only had to contend with the nearby supermarket shoppers.

I could see it easily, so only had to wait for passing cars to make a grab for it!!

I did walk from side to side before I settled on the right side. Thanks Bounty Trackers.

Gotcha

Great little gift inside too.

Great spot.

Ha good one..
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache and hunting

TFTH

Had a good laugh at the name of the cafe, then made a quick find at GZ. No kebabs for us tonight! Thanks for the cache.

easy find
tftc

quick easy find, no-one around
don,t know why on christmas day

On the way home after a very full day of caching Pea bear & I decided to have another go at this as the aptly named shop was closed. With heavy pruning we felt very exposed but with a helpful hint from the kebab shop we finally had our names in the log. TFTC

On a mission with Natasha today. Have stopped at this one before but cafe was open and too muggles to have a proper look. Foliage has been dramatically cut back which makes it easier to find but harder to be stealthy. Decided to go to the kebab shop to get a drink when shop keeper says "are you looking for that GPS thingy". After a helpful hint we soon made the find. TFTC

Loved the name of the cafe, unfortunately when I was there they were just closing and packing up, so no coffee and cake for me. In addition the workers, including the owner were out and about making it difficult to spend time searching for the cache. Went instead to the adjacent kebab shop - which I'm not sure was a good idea - but eating kebab and chips in the car-park at least gave me an excuse to loiter and look for the cache. Finished the kebab and still hadn't located the cache (did spend more time eating than looking) and then had another walk around - trying to be as subtle and possible, and noticed something just a little out of place. Pretending the wind had blown my hat off - pretty sure the cafe-muggles were still watching every now and then, I was able to grab the cache.

Good one took a little while to find

Tftc

Quick find on our second attempt. And i mean really quick. Spyromianiac and I hadnt even got out of the car when Princess Sparklez had the cache in hand.
TFTC

Took three people 3 mins to find

No coffee today, but a drizzle of passing muggles and a bored kebab shop owner taking a smoke.
Waited for my chance and found the cache while the timing was right.

Last one for the day and no muggles about late on a Sunday afternoon. Guess there would have been lots earlier in the day.

Found @ 5:25pm, find # 1666
This was my cache for today to keep my mini streak going.
At GZ there were a few muggles about but I was able to use my car as a shield to hide behind while finding this cache, lucky for me it was a quick find without to much searching.
Thanks to Bounty Trackers for this cache.

Use stealth

Wow what a cache, we visited this earlier in the day to no avail, T went and got a coffee whilst K searched, with one persistent muggle not taking her eyes off K. Gave up and came back after dark on way home, after looking around almost giving up, had a calming kebab which worked wonders a look on the GPS found it in minutes!!

had a quick look on way to lunch, too many muggles around, on return managed to snatch and sign. tftc

Nice easy find on a cold day, did a few others in the area while there. OUr Japanese exchange teacher had a fun time searching too. TFTH

A damp find - which helped to keep muggles away and the coffee shop was closed.

Found 12:00, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks Bounty Trackers.

Nice hide TFTC

Some school holidays boredom busting was in order, so off we headed to make a start on the Jack Speak series whilst collecting any strays along the way.
Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers

That wasn't nice. Owner of a car came out and started harassing me within 2 mins about 10 second after I found it. Expect I may have compromised its position but hope not. Tftn

Great hidding spot. I got some strange looks from cafe owner just starting to set up the shop

[8d] gg hunter and I go to this aptly named cafe.We had a chuckle and some help from an Aussie Kebab.Thanks great hide.

With 5 of us looking and not many muggles around, not long before we had cache in hand. Thanks

Quick find while at mums for lunch.nice hide TFTC

Had a DNF earlier with this one so came back today with a group assault and daryllm123 found it really quickly in a clever place I didn't search last time TFTC
