Out exploring Geelong for the day trying to keep our feet dry. We weren’t going to go for this one but decided to use the car park to turn around. Decided to go for the cache lucky for us it was in one of the first places we looked and a lot bigger than others on these we have found. Enjoyed checking out all the old relics. Apologies for the late log catching up on a few now we are back from holidays

That was blitzzz

We have had mixed luck with this sort of cache. Some of them we have found quickly, others have taken a very long time. This was somewhere in between.

We had chosen an early morning run to grab some items we needed in Geelong. One of the advantages was there were very few muggles about.

We enjoyed searching and were happy to add another smiley to the map.

The cache is in good condition. Thank you for this cache Flying Platypus.

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a rollerblade!"
Starting on Baanip Boulevard, I'm weaving my way back towards Geelong now. I bravely went past Daniel's Donuts *without* stopping and purchasing, and now I'm in front of a classic cache location. Lots of photos and a cheeky cache grab, done.
Thanks heaps for the cache, Flying Platypus!

Back out again with Rebel Acts looking for a few hides close to our caravan park. Normally we take one look at these hides and often keep going. Too many nanos on field guns! But this time we thought we'd give it a try. Lucky we did, as we found it quite quickly. Not sure it is where it is supposed to be, but we replaced it where we found it.

We have now been in Geelong for just over a week and have really enjoyed the sights and the caching. We even got out this morning to complete a new Adventure Lab. The weather is a magnificent Autumn day so we are enjoying that.
There are some real quality hides, and polished cache containers. We are also regularly having difficulty finding some as we have come across quite a number of hides that we have not encountered before. Always good to see some new variety.
