Due to no longer being able to maintain caches, this cache is being removed.

3rd find!

tftc! Lid is broken on cache.

Found the lid on the ground which was a dead giveaway. Returned it, lid up but need to be replaced and old log removed

Yesterday wasn't my best day by a long shot. Dropped the iPhone near a caxhe and broke the glass screen. Today I was very close to this cache whilst waiting for it to be replaced, so what do you do to fill in time. Yes, find a cache. TFTC xian44

Found it! Cool little spot! Sometimes I rush in too quickly rather than looking at the area!

For a long time I have been searching for a cache hidden by someone whose name began with X, so I appreciate being able to find this one while in Geelong for a visit.
Found at night time so no muggles around, just had to wait for a nearby neighbour to close his blinds, and a torch shone in just the right direction enabled me to finally get my grasp on this cache, and consequently be able to claim another challenge as well.
Thanks for placing this cache here, it will enable me to put 2 smileys on my map.

In Geelong today (from Ballarat) for a work meeting at Deakin Uni so couldn't resist a few quick caches! Clever hide. I think I was lucky to find it! Lid on container is broken so will need fixing. Many thanks

That was a good hiding spot. Good work with the magnet

Nice easy find, container needs to be fixed

Found it

Headed to Geelong for the second Friday in a row with Tess the geodog and Sorceysal to see if we could complete a couple of challenges, and grab a few more caches in this cache rich town.
This had already been found by SS, so it was up to me, even without a warmer/colder hint. LOL
Thanks Xian 44 for another of your well blended caches

Found this one pretty quickly!

Found

Found

Good

Pretty easy to find if your not to tall

An easy find when you know what look for

Found it! At first was a bit confused but I quickly realised where it was!! So funny when I found it

Found it needs a new logbook

Quick and easy

Tricky find
This cache took ages to find as co-ords were slightly off and jumping around
Success was had after standing in the right place and looking in the right direction and angle!
TFTC

Bit of a harder find, turns out when I sat down to have a rest I sat right on top of it! TFTC

Got it at last!

Bested me...for now...

In Geelong for the weekend with Mogni and Locus Cache. Yesterday we had participated in Geelong-opoly 2015 where we became known as 'that SA mob' we hope that was a term of endearment. Having completed the event to commemorate this series we decided to do the series....and any caches we were passing. Two of us managed to make this one much more difficult that it should have been. We searched whilst the navigator/logger just sat in the car and pointed to it for her lower position. Thanks xian_44.

In Geelong with brisal5 and locus cache for a weekend of geocaching and giggles.... We made this harder than we should have but a clever hide.
Thanks

How do you fill in a long weekend[?]
Head to Geelong with Mogni and Brisal5 for an event and a few days caching!
All up, I found 141 caches , attended 1 event and had 6 DNFs
We did a few series and enjoyed them, we met Bushfire and enjoyed learning about his considerable knowledge of Geelong's caches and we met Team Autumn and several other interstate teams while having a blast during the Geelong-Opoly 2015 event! [^]
All in all, a fantastic weekend.

Don't aim so high and you might find a cache
Either that or leave the driver in the car to give you the exact location as the two inept geocachers searching couldn't see it for looking

Cool!

TFTC. Found with crackers007.

tricky spot

Hard in the dark

Quick find on way home from Geelong to Torquay. Well done Jake!

Found it

Tftc

Looked and looked and looked at what we thought was gz only to have matt_geo make the grab a little further afield than expected. TFTC

Out caching with robber44 and cjfinda. A beautiful afternoon to be out and about. We spent a bit of time looking for this one in all the wrong places before finally making the find. TFTC

Had a DNF on this a long time ago, but came back to find it with matt-geo and cjfinda - and now all the comments make sense! So obvious once you think about other possibilties and not go to what seem to be the most logical places. TFTC

Good hiding spot! What a fun little game this is we are hooked

A little hard to find but after some searching, success! Good spot

In Geelong to get a few caches with Happy Pants. It was pouring rain when we pulled up. Happy Pants had already got this cache previously, so it was up to me to make a run for it. Fortunately, I managed a quick find and returned to the car to sign log. TFTC Xian 44.

Tftc our first find and now we are hooked

Well this was fun.

I'm sure like many I made this harder than needed.

Lucky the muggles were'nt around.

Then when I was just about to leave it appeared in plain site!!

TFTC

Good hide. May need a new entry form. Good work.

Tftc.

Needs another log. Tftc

Bit hard but it was worth it! Good hiding place. ;-D

TFTC

A nice quick cache to add to my collection today, a nice hide thanks.

TFTC

Easy find saw it almost instantly

Found it, good find. Nice start to our Geelong geocaching.

Sneaky hiding place

Good spot!

Good hiding spot. U just have to step back and look

Very quick spot - tftc. #3 on our run

Doing some afterhours work & drove 2hrs to the job so i thought while im here i best grab a cache at 1:00am... Easy done TFTC

Had a look and seems this one has disappeared!

With recend DNF's i had a look.
Can confirm cache is still in its original position.

Based on earlier comments sure i had the right object, but no joy with the cache

Found it. Saw it from the car while the kids were looking for it!

Out for a day of caching with SorceySal. The aim of the day was for SorceySal to find her 1000th cache.

This one came at the end of a long day caching. As I am pregnant and needed a rest I left SorceySal to find this one. After what seemed like a long time of searching I got out of the car and walked straight to it. Not too sure SorceySal was impressed with me on that one!

Thanks for the cache.

The quest for 1000 today whilst out and about with the Menzies Mob. Looked and looked whilst the Menziesmob had a rest in the car. Eventually they could see I was having trouble and got out of the car, walked straight to it and said "here it is". Don't you just hate that.

Thanks for the cache xian44

Arriving at GZ I headed for where I thought would be the hide for this cache but was pleasantly surprised when it was in a different location... it was all about the angle for this one TFTC

Attempted this one on a mega caching trip but couldn't find it.

08:12
My main objective of this trip was the WWFM IX event in Geelong at ridiculous o'clock. Now the main event was over, it was time to explore Geelong.

Just me and the dog exercisers at this time on a Sunday morning. I've picked up others in this series, so thought I'd have a go here; one nearby appears to be missing a crucial part, so was a bust, but this was more forgiving. Cheers, xian_44

#2591

Found by geomum not long aft arriving @ GZ whilst geodad was searching elsewhere. Tftc xian_44.

Easy find

Good find by jordy

Easy grab- no muggles today! TFTC

Thx so much for the cache had lots of fun!!!:)

Nice quick cache. Left my signature item

Nicely hidden! Nice easy one, got a funny look from one curious muggle though

Nice quick find!

Take 3 for the night. Trying to get a cache a day for as long as possible. 11:38pm and after looking for two others only to come up with Dnfs. Very relieved to find this sneaky one. Tftc!!

TFTC

Great find! TFTC

Was thinking this may take some time, then as I was sitting in the car I looked across and there it was.
For the second time today a quick pick with no one around but as soon I was about to put it back people come from everywhere.
TFTC

Was almost going to give up on this one but as we were walking back to the car, Donnazev turns around for one last look and before you know it, she had the cache in hand. As has been said previously, not the first place I would have looked given the location. Sneaky.

TFTC.

Looked everywhere my GPS said was GZ but no good. Genghicat and I were about to give up. About to get in the car when I had another look and spotted it. Great hide

TFTC

Found on this busy day in Geelong. Thanks

Found on the 01/03/14, Spotted this one from inside my far, very sneaky hide TFTC

Nothing around at GZ.

Found with Byron Penn

May have been muggled! Searched for a while! Not in the obvious place I thought it would be. A place I have found plenty of caches before!

The first find of my holiday.
Frustrated with 3 others I have just looked for.

TFTC

Found! Had the chance to come back past this one, last time I visited, I was in between jobs & had to move along quickly. This time it was a quick spot from the car, geowife jumped out the car to sign the log. No muggles around

TFTC

Find #374

Making our way towards Geelong to watch the fireworks at the Carols by candle light we made a little detour to pick this one up,
Thanks xian_44 for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

We pulled up here and were happy to find the area quite deserted tonight.
The cache was retrieved after a while as initially we were searching in the wrong spot but once we expanded the search the cache was located and our names were added to the log.
Thanks xian_44 for the cache.

Found. Signed. Returned. Thanks

TFTC! Love the effort

A little confused at first but got back in the car to get bearings and spotted it. TFTC

Found it on my third attempt today! TFTC

We were out for a day trip to Geelong with the Geo-grandkids and thought we should grab some caches while here.

Ended up getting around 16 caches today.... not bad for a few hours caching

another quick drive by


thanks to the CO for this cache
