Tricky but fun to log this one

Tftc!!!

Lovely walk!

Time for a Tuesday Trek for three Confused Puzzlers.Today's plan was for ttrogg to pick up The Rat from the Rat's den .Then travel south to meet up with the Starfish.We parked the geo mobile, and went for a walk in the scrub.A quick find and stamp for the Rat. Tftc

Was in the area for a couple of other caches so dropped by here for a look Spent about 15 minutes searching, looking everywhere without any joy.Noted that the previous 3 cachers that looked for this one had logged DNFs and its been about 16 months since last found.Ive therefore replaced the cache with a preform tube, near the end of the log and under it Happy caching folks

Dnf

We looked everywhere, and found plenty of great places to put a cache. Unfortunately none of these places contained a cache.
Will be back when the grass has died off a bit.

Searched high and low (literally), but came up empty handed, our only DNF today. Alas. Foud lots of places that would have been perfect for it, hope to come back one day and cross this last one off the list for the park.

We went for a walk in my raincoat but it didn’t rain. I found the cache and signed the log.

Thanks

This is my third time in the area, and second attempt at this one. I am usually down south in the summer months, and the first time I was here I disturbed a rather large snake. Not knowing where he slithered to, I slithered back to the car and left, without attempting any of the others in the park.

Today was different, I parked safely to the east, and headed directly west to the cache. I recognised the tree, and still took a look around for the slithery one. Too cold for him today. I found the cache quickly, nice location, great camo, cache in good condition.

Thanks for the cache duncast, find #7019 at 3.29pm

Headed south again today with the main aim being some walking in the 80 Acres Park just a bit south east of Happy Valley for ten traditionals. Managed to find eleven other traditionals on the way there and scored a bonus of a puzzle in the park that I had on the To Find list.
Last for the day and another quick find.
Thanks to duncast for putting out this cache for me to find and the maintenance required to keep it going.

The container for the one is GONE! Needs a new one

Cache is missing, need to replace

No snake seen here today but a nice walk up the hill to Gz the cache was found in the obvious place and is all good

With the whole day to kill and an early birds event in the city I decided I would head to the southern suburbs after being down the last night I wanted to clean up a few more of the caches in the area and mainly targeting the walking caches. All up 39 finds for the day.

TFTC

Did not attempt, guarded by slithery thing

Long arms.. tftc this arvo... what a magnificent beast it would have been

Wandered into this with a mate for a quick find! Thanks duncast for the hide!!

Out and about geocayshing after chemist pickup this one was found as well TFTC

Took me ages but got it eventually

With my hand sanitizer to eliminate any chance of COVID19 and the usual 'out in the field' gear, i was ready for another days exercising and caching of course, down south [^]

80 Acres Park is a lovely place to visit and walk to get caches but try not to stray from the paths coz you'll get scratched and sliced by the brutal undergrowth and b*stard bushes [B)]!

{I reckon i nearly lost a pint of blood today, post 6 finds and 2 DNF's }

This one was find #1 and it's dry log was signed at 09:48 on Wed 22 April 2020.

Found on a nice day wandering around in a new reserve for us tftc

The last find on our way back to the car! We will have to return another day as it is a nice area! TFTC

Nice

Geocaching for the day and getting very wet feet. Geokid 9 worked this out pretty quickly. TFTC

Decided to head to 80acres to do a spot of caching before heading out for Sunday lunch with the geohusband. Should have brought them along for this walk as the hound would have loved it especially all the rabbits, will have to come back with them both to pick up the ones I dnfd today or didn't have enough time to complete.
Totally underestimated the terrain and the wilderness, the paths seemed to mosaic all over the place so did lots of scurrying back and forth to find paths to the caches. There was a lot of up hill too, and dogs and muggles on bikes.
But in all it was a lovely walk and I picked up 6 more caches for the tally. Then off for a well earned roast lunch (beef with Yorkshire pudding, delicious).
This was my first find for the morning, took me a while and then had a head slap moment. TFTC duncast

One of my goals for this year is to fill in and many of the 83 calendar days that I am missing having found a puzzle cache. To date I have crossed out 34 days but missed 12, so I was to eager to cross off another required day today. [^] Unfortunately none are very close to home anymore and so I found myself traveling 40 kms to 80 Acres Park to grab a puzzle find. May as well enjoy the sunshine and grab the others scattered around the park.

After spending a very long time for a DNF I came out of the scrub to find a large open area. [^] Approaching GZ I saw the local kids had been building a shelter near it. Luckily the cache was still secretly hidden nearby and found in great condition.

**Thanks duncast for this cache. **

Lovely park- just a hasty stop to locate this one but we will be back to do more on a leisurely day. TFTC

Quickly found. Tftc

What delightful part of our world, only live a short drive away but never knew of 80acres. No wonder you golden retreiver loved it so much...brought a tear to my eye.
My geodog was in heaven...TFTC.

A night time walk into the Wilderness making a detour to collect this one

Thanks for one more Duncast.

We'll have to come back to do your multi 'Around 80acres' when we have a bit more time . Really enjoyed our walk around this park today [^].

Great hide. Boys enjoyed finding it. Thanks

It was a nice sunny day to take the family out. We had fun climbing over the tree and took a while to find it.

Nice way to start the day wit the geo-pup - sun shining, a decent path, manageable undergrowth... but it was all downhill after that...
TFTC

This area has been coming up on my radar quite a lot recently as un found aches close to home are becoming fewer and fewer. A nice walk too gz and the cache was found after a brief search of potential hiding spots.
tftc

Couldn't find this one the other day so today in the nice sunny weather I put my geocache head on and found it in 10 seconds haha!!!

No need to worry about bees today, the hive was abandoned. Quick find by the geomissus. TFTC.

Left a trinket. Cute hide nice view. Watch out for the bees.

Found today.

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the GeoDog. Would've gone straight past this one when we did the multi-cache recently but ran out of time and our focus was elsewhere. Nice hide TFTC

Found with cachehunter2207 and zoe the dog

Mr Tardis and Mini Tardis went for a nice short walk today to find this one. Mini Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

We found over 40 caches heading south and cleared up a lot of old unfonds for me.

A lovely walk through bushland finding a number of caches. I managed to fall into a creek on the way to the cache but a bit of blood and a few bruises are all part of the sport! TFTC.

Found It! Big ants nearby! TFTC.

Found easily right on the mark, thanks duncast.

Wandered up from The Gnomes are Watching, enjoying the stroll through the reserve. Thanks for the cache duncast!

Went out this afternoon to grab some of the near home caches around Happy Valley and Aberfoyle Park. Some were walk ups and others a little more walking required.

Quick find and sign. TFTC.

After searching for gnomes a leisurely stroll to the tree Island was in order. A quick find of the cache was made and now its time to go hunting wabbits.
Thanks duncast for the cache!

Nice walk in winter thanks

Was out with Madham02 walking the dogs and grabbed a few caches in the area. Had a nice stroll to this one, and soon had the cache in hand, signed the log and replaced in its hide. Then headed home for much needed refreshments. Thanks for the cache duncast.

TFTC

Nice location and a good cache. After finding the cache, headed NW across country in the general direction of relatives house, and had to walk West the whole way inside the North boundary of the golf course because there was no exit through houses onto Fraser Ave. TFTC

Great find while in the area on holiday.
Thanks for the fun!

SL TFTC

Visited this area after attending a nearby geocaching event. I enjoyed the stroll to the cache, including the friendly (or fearless) corellas feeding on the ground. Found the cache in good condition. TFTC duncast.
