Logs
Nothing found!! Came with Nyochi who had already found it and it isn't there anymore!!
Found and replaced as best I could with magnet missing. May need a bit of attention. Some great boats to look at further on.
I found my glue gun in the ute (yay!) and reattached the attachment device. Cache is back where it belongs
While working in Hastings for the day, I took the opportunity to find a cache or two. My first attempt at another cache was muggled off, so I continued along the road to this one. As previous logs have stated, the cache is missing its attachment mechanism, but is otherwise in fairly good condition. Thanks for the cache gruffpuppy
Find #3151
Another early morning caching run down the peninsula to grab a few caches before heading to work. It was still getting light as I approached Hastings and after caching the surrounds a few times in the last few months I was heading for some hides near the town centre and foreshore today. This was my third find of six for the morning and after a couple of successes nearby I was able to head on and park right next to this one. The cache wasn't quite where I was expecting (perhaps because it appears to have lost its attachment mechanism. It had been thoughtfully placed nearby and I thought it best to replace as found.Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache gruffpuppy.

Great little pick up on the side of the road, I wasn't be fooled by the obvious. TFTC
I have seen a few of these before so after excluding the more natural hiding spots there was really only one place to check.
Thanks for this cache.
Thanks for this cache.
The cache lid is slightly cracked & a touch of glue need for the attachment device.
Thanks for the hide.
Thanks for the hide.
A day of caching to boost the numbers as I approach 1000 finds. Jumped out the ute and made this find while the husband turned the vehicle around in the nearby carpark. TFTC
I'm in a car.
Thanks to gruffpuppy and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!
Suscoe had a delightful day out on the Peninsular today.
It was mostly sunny with a cool breeze and some rain came in late in the day
How lucky were we.
Saw some beautiful countryside and enjoyed a fantastic range of caches.
A quick find for us.

Yesterday, I sent a message to Omegaman1971 that went something along the lines of, "I'm heading to HMAS Cerberus tomorrow, and I've seen this series called 'Jack Speak'. We should catch up sometime to do that". His reply was, "I'll be in Hastings tomorrow, too!". We have set aside a date in July to do the Jack Speak series, but we met in Hastings to enjoy a couple of hours of caching
We parked in a central location and walked to a few local caches, including this one. It was amazing to hear the wind whistling through the halyards on the yachts in the marina!
Thanks for the cache, gruffpuppy

found this one easily, parked right in front of it in fact lol good thing it was a nice quiet afternoon. TFTC!
Second find of the day on this lovely today out today. Was out with my baby brothers and my nan, as they played I thought it would be fun to cross off some more of this area. It was a quick and easy find with no muggles to be seen. Had a nice time finding the cache, other than tripping on the way there (clumsy me).

Needed a nice walk after lunch at the nearby marina. A quick pickup and sign before heading back to pick up the rest of the clan and continue on with the afternoon. TFTC. Does need a new log though

Coords were spot on and found quickly at the first place we looked. No muggles around so signing the log was straight forward and now safely back again.

Quick, easy find during a short stop in Hastings on my way back to Melbourne after visiting a friend in Balnarring. TFTC
While in the area we picked this cache up that was missed on our last visit. Seen one of these before, used the required tool and soon had log in hand.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

An easy park and grab on this blustery weekday, but would be much more tricky when the boat its are there in full,force TFTC gruffpuppy
Could tell exactly where it was :3 with a perfect shady tree nearby. Wish i could be on one of those yachts today
Pretended I was talking on the phone while looking for this one. Stealth skills win!
One of over 100 caches found on a big day's caching on the Mornington Peninsula with some great friends.
There were many styles of hides and some of the containers were very cool indeed.
Thanks to all the CO's or placing them for others to find.
The caches found with Jabs and Budgietas were signed as JCB.

First or all sorry for the long log. Code 1, Budgietas and myself decided to do a caching trip / run and the Mornington area looked like a great place to start. So planes were hatched and we got together. This was the first cache of over a hundred we did in the 12 hour period of caching we had.
A well rounded style, type, size, shade and hides kept us guessing at every corner. Was a little confused about the reference but all good in the end. So thanks for the cache and a reason to get out and about with a few mates for a day of endless adventure and fun.
Most of the caches we did were signed with JCB. J-Jabs C-Code1 and B-Budgietas.

Great to back in Hastings, we were camping down in Shoreham (first camp of the season!!) and drove up to Hastings for lunch. We had attempted this cache way back when had just started to cache in 10/13, now 700 plus finds later the radars are well tuned for caching. TFTC.
Firstly, apologies for the late logging.
Found this with Leetalicious on a week's holiday on the Mornington Peninsula.
A great spot for a cache after a day at the Pearcedale Sanctuary
My thanks to gruffpuppy for the cache and for bringing us here.

Sweet area and not many muggles.
I love the smell of salt air in the morning :)

Find 07 of 15 for the day and #1834 in total.
Not too hard to find, getting rid of the local dog that adopted us on our way here was another story though...

I had an idea this was where it was and put my hand straight on it. It turned out to be an easy find after all and log returned without incident.
Thanks Lisette.
Thanks Lisette.
We were looking in the wrong spot. Rechecked gps and oooops....moved about 15m and quickly grabbed it. TFTC
After initial check at typical hide I realised my compass had reset, it was a quick find with Tassie expat after that. TFTC
The coords pointed to a logical GZ and a short search revealed the location of the cache at 17:45 only to be interrupted by a young magpie enquiring if the cache was edible. TFTC
The power is yours watch the traffic have fun beautiful scenery if you love the sea
Got side tracked cause some local wanted to wash his car at the ramp finally geo son found this one TFTC
Out on a quick hasting run with jman24. It's not often I am down this way so I made the most of it and dropped in to see the jman that turned into a run around town on foot. This was my first in the area in a long time and I spotted the hide a great distance away. Quick easy grab. Tftc tnln sl
Rain and an early morning start made this a quick find
Plenty of vehicles in the carpark but not too many muggles in the rain!
Many thanx to gruffpuppy

We spent some days on the bike to visit French Island. On our way we logged a couple of caches and want to thank all cache owners for their work, love and effort they put into creating and maintaining these caches.

With the family away its just me and the Geo dog today. Going to spend the day down the peninsula finding as many caches as we can. Tftc.
Found this whilst on a day trip with the Mrs who had never been to Hastings before... in fact, it was about 25+ years since I have been to Hastings, and things have changed a bit.
I used my cache-sense on this one, as my GPSr was pointing further away across a road, and I was happy to find it very quickly and there were no muggles around either.
This cache also marks the first cache my wife has decided to log under a different name
Nice place to hide the cache, and it was a lovely day to be out geocaching.
Many thanks.
