Unfortunately did not find this one today, am thinking perhaps muggles may have gotten to it???

We where looking for a while and couldn't find it

Tried to find last week, no luck

I've been here quite a few times and looked around without any luck unfortunately. According to the logs a lot of people find it fairly easily so I'm probably looking at it straight in my face but this one I'm finding too tough for me.

Not today. Searched high and low but obviously not hard enough so I gave up. Will come back another day.

This year myself (Mrs Regan) and becca85 have hit the big THREE-ZERO, what better way to celebrate our birthdays being 3 weeks apart, then a childless Geocaching road trip! Starting with the Otway Trail, we made our way to Geelong along the cost doing any caches we past by. It was such a hot day we were so close to giving up, TFTC

Mrs ReganSeekers & I celebrate our birthdays 3 weeks apart. This year we turn the big Three-Zero so we felt a child-free Geocaching road trip was the perfect way to celebrate. We decided that we would head for the Otways & complete the Series as well as any others we passed then head to Geelong via the Coast.
We almost gave up here, it was soooo hot! TFTC

A quick and easy find today while on the second day of our Surf Coast Walk while visiting from Sydney. The cache was fairly exposed so I tried to cover it with a little more bark. TFTC

Haha working down here and thought I'd have a quick hunt. Good hide

Continuing on my jog around the coast here, and stopped by for a find here. A few people about, including some surf rowers about to head out for some training. They were a bit close to GZ, but thankfully too busy looking at their boat and warming up.

A bit of back and forth here checking various spots until I spied a corner of cache. Phew!

TFTC Happiikhat

Not too many people around today, so a fairly easy find.

Clever hide took ages but as usual tere it was.right in front of us!

Lush n bear lntn

The cache is still safe despite surrounding
repair works. It was a nice walk on a blustery
July day.

Thanks from
blackcockatoos

Found it in the dark with ICOne.

I did this one with friends in the dark. Was a little tricky it was not half way up the tree as one of the clues said but was hidden by bark.

Yay!!! Finally found one thanks to my son. No loot but we didn't come prepared anyways. So happy at last!!!

Found it on the last day of our Great Ocean Road trip ! Be careful, revegetation area...
No more pen inside so bring your own

Brrrr. Chilly day but at least theres no muggles around!! Tftc

Stopped here with my tour and despite searching for a long time I had no luck

Found it

Perfect Autumn adventure, not any muggles around. Great hide! Thank you.

Walkers of dogs and fishing types out and about today. TFTC

Finally no muggle activity and low tide off to the next one out on the rocks.

Finally no muggle activity and low tide off to the next one out on the rocks.

With oldest geoson not feeling the best but needing to get the younger geokids out of the tent we decided on a few drive and cache finds. We parked nearby and whilst the rest of the family waited in the car, geoson aged 5 and I walked down to the beach and were lucky there were no people around gz so we could make the find quickly.
Had a quick play then on the beach and then returned back to the car.

Today we take a family tour on great ocean road. This is our first stop since the morning start from Melbourne. Logged this one with GCwife, DC-3 and Nord59. TFTC!

Great find very easy lots of fun.

Found it together with my mom GCwife, my brother Nord59 and my dad D/T (which help me write the logs). TFTC!

Fun!

I'm on school camp great find lots of fun with school mates

Pretty worried about walking in the protected vegitation with a packed beach

Get down low and look behind natural props

Found with georocks101, tftc!

Found with danr1289, clue is a bit out of date but cache is definitely there, safe and sound! Tftc!

Not happy with the location of this one but we trod gently and retrieved/replaced it where we found it.

We felt guilty being in the fenced off area but found it OK. Clue is a little misleading or out of date.

After not making it around the point, we battled back into the wind to find a way around to a much calmer beach, and quickly found the cache at 2:50pm.

thanks Hapiikhat

good hide. : )

Nothing beats a nice quick find.
TFTC

After being hit by Hurricane Harry on the south side of the point , it was nice to get back to the relatively sheltered beach area. This cache continued to warm the cockles as Riddell extracted it from its hidey-hole at 14:45.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Happycat12.

Our walking group after finding Powerful View had a pleasant stroll through the bush to the coast but the beach walk to the point turned into an ordeal with the howling westerly wind. Unable to get around the point on the high tide we turned back briefly into driving rain to reach the peaceful front beach. Access to GZ was finally figured out by one of us and the cache was in hand at 14:50. TFTC

Found it on a great day at the beach TFTC Also took the pathtag even tho it is rusted and you cannot see the code

I walked down to this #4 Soapy Rock. As I got to the beach I noticed the GZ was overrun with people, so I though I'd give it a miss. Later that night, I realised I was sitting on 8 caches for the day - equal with my best caching day so far. I decided this was the ideal cache to set a new benchmark with, especially after I'd enjoyed the Soapy Rock cache so much.

As I'm unfamiliar with the area, walking the path was a bit daunting at night. All I could hear was the crunching of my feet and the crashing of the waves, which is comforting during the day but a bit intimidating at night when you can't tell how near it is.

I eventually made it to the rocks and poles at the beach a few hundred meters away after nearly tripping a few times. I was a bit worried about the tide but decided I could safely get there across the beach.

When I got to the GZ I took my phone out and shone its torch around to look for the cache. I was having trouble, but was determined to get it. I got down on my hands and knees and crawled around for a while, but that didn't help. Finally, I looked in just the right place and found it, beating my previous record for number of caches in one day.

I took nothing, but left a yellow smiley face badge. TFTC.

I am already 2 weeks with my Hippie Camper on the road and have already 2000 km of Caching behind me.
I will say thanks to all the Owner to Show me all this nice places.
THANKS A LOT.

Quick grab for me and hosmor TFTC. Muggles didn't bother us, but there were a few life guards walking past so take care!

-Raszewski

A tricky but successful search in the fading twilight - TFTC!

Found by geocache nephew first find for him.

Found it in a plastic Tupperware container - circular green token inside

Well hidden! A note left for the next person.

Nice hide.

Day 2 for Sully and I on our trip down here. This was q uick find for us here as we explored the area, thanks again Happiikhat for this little series

This was a quick find with and by Bogonghazy on day two of our short trip down here for a few days of R&R, and caching of course. Enjoyed the walk to here, but we were becoming mindful of the rain clouds that were beginning to gather overhead, so we moved on quickly for the next find. Thanks to Happikhat for the cache.

Found it
Easy find, thanks creators
Found with geomum

Found on a sunny sunday arvo caching with Timmo98 and Alchey.

Found by Timmo98 - getting burnt! TFTC in a great spot.

Out with Jacko83 and Timmo98 to enjoy the southern coast.
A very high muggle area but with 3 sets of eyes looking out we were able to find and replace without drawing attention.
Thanks for the Cache Happiihat

This was our second find of the day with a reluctant, teenage Geoboy in tow. Having taken longer than necessary at an earlier cache, the mood was not improving. I quickly headed in for a look but wasn't getting far. Lest one of the sunbathing muggles at a distance decided to come closer, I took a quick look at the hint, changed position slightly and soon spotted a highly likely location. I instructed the Geoboy to have a look and he was soon withdrawing the cache from its hiding spot.
I signed the log and we returned the cache with no-one any the wiser and headed up the beach for one more find.
Thanks Happikhatt !

Harder than expected, almost muggled! TFTC

It was hard to have much a look as there were plenty of muggles around but that's no excuse, it just didn't want to show itself today.

TFTC

Found it with jelenagreenleaf

Great thanks

Beautiful day, beautiful beach. TFTC!

We sat here for a little while, enjoying the sunshine and view of the ocean. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here, we love the GOR.

Found it. Took a bit of stealth. But forgot pen

Nice easy find, stealth is definitely required

Another beautiful view on our tour down to Apollo Bay.
TFTC

Easy find, had to be subtle with the people around. Sadly no pen was there and we didn't have one on us
@aleerenren

Fairly easy find! Nice beach @lachlandenham

Felt a bit weird searching here, but the CO mentioned he had permission. So that was good enough for me. [^][^] A bit of a scrounge and I soon found what I was looking for. Took TB and signed log. TFTC HappiiKhat

Found after exploring the point. We had a great afternoon at the beach. Thanks

Fount it on a random road trip. Thank you.

Thanks found it.

Found it. Good cache. In good condition

Found it

To hard for us tips anyone

Found with geo bf on lovely morning run on the beach

Found this one during our month long tour of SE Australia. It is our intention to find as many caches as possible during our stay and as a result logistics dictate that this generic log will have to suffice .Hope the cache owners, to whom we extend our gratitude for their efforts, will all understand the reasons for this.All good wishes from us both.

Despite a lot of Muggles, Mr Pooky did manage to find the cache at ankle height. He also felt a little uneasy wandering about a vegetation regeneration area, and ended up leaving Mrs Pooky's pen behind. Again, if it was not for the cache we would never have known this lovely beach existed.

TFTC TNLN

#5897 We parked the geomobile and strolled toward GZ. We weren't quite sure about the placement as it is smack bang within a revegetation area. However we took the shortest possible approach and Dad soon had the cache in hand. It amazes us the amount of people still swimming at this time of the year - not these little black ducks!! Our thanks to Happikhat for highlighting this part of the beach - no yachts were out today. Cheers [^]

I found it, but I did feel a bit uneasy wandering about a vegetation regeneration area. Lots of muggles enjoying the ocean. TFTC.

No joy for us today on this one. Not sure we even located the right trees. Quite busy down here this morning, so that hindered search somewhat.

Third find for the day. Not many muggles around due to the drizzle. Found by geokid,she is loving the adventure.Thanks again Happiikhat for another great find.

First for the day

My first cache in Australia.
Today we are driving the Great Ocean Road and we stopped here to see the beach.
TFTC.

Great first find with friends local to the area. They are hooked

found on a beautiful day thanks

found on a beautiful day thanks

easy find but in a high muggle area - stealth required

Far to many muggles to even attempt retrieving this one. Will have to come back at a quieter time.

Thanks for the cache!
