0h the things you find when caching Cardinia, Victoria, Australia
By Bounty Trackers on 17-Feb-13. Waypoint GC4669H

No time to check this cache and sounds like it’s gone as it’s not a hard find. So archiving it.

No luck for me today. Spent quite some time with no muggles about, but couldn't find it.

Searched but with no luck

Nice

Thankyou for bringing me here, the sculptures are really lovely. Not something you see everyday. With it being really windy today, my GPS had me going in circles and where I really wanted to go was covered in mud and water, luckily I had my boots on cause I had to go there... Giving it a fav point.

Found while grabbing a few caches in the area with Jentrek1 and omegaman1971, we managed a park nearby but with a game of cricket going on and the playground had a couple of mini muggles on it we had to be super stealthy grabbing this one, luckily Jentek1 quickly had it in hand. Thanks Bounty Trackers for the hide.

Great to be out here caching on this love day. Thanks heaps

# omegaman1971
# 3116 Finds
Back in the area with Happy pants and Jentrek1 to start a nearby Geo art series.
Not the easiest find whilst the cricket is on, but got it in the end.
Cheers for the cache.

Today we explored Rythdale and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Had a rare spare weekday afternoon so headed out in a southeasterly direction without a defined plan. A bit of a rainy afternoon but I seemed to dodge the showers pretty well. This was the tenth of fifteen finds that I managed to get in the end. It certainly was a little unexpected given the area I was approaching but that's caching for you. I managed to park the car pretty close and the area seemed free of muggles at this time. A short search later and I was pleased to spot this one. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers.

Nice sculpture. Cache container not what I expected, also in plain site. Hidden out of site again

Must be a day for finding nemesis caches. This is the third one in a row that I have been able to cross off my list. Not sure how many times I have visited this cache but today found it straight away. Looks like it had fallen out of its hiding place, and the place has certainly been cleaned up from last time I was here.
Signed and returned the cache to where I think it came from, and gave it some cover. Just as I was finishing some more people arrived. Looks like I got it just in time.
Thank for the cache Bounty Trackers

We looked for this cache when we first started caching and never found it.
Second time we looked for this, we got muggled out by people wanting to play on the park.
The other few times, sporting events on, casued us not the ever stop,
Today, early Easter Sunday morning, had the place alone, however still not able to find this cache. The place had been recently mowed, leaving wet grass cuttings over everything.
Will be back another time again.
Thanks anyway Bounty Trackers

Well, well this one took a lot longer than it should have. Went round and round couldn't find a thing at first. Was just about to leave when...hello, whats that thing there, you you little ripper we've found it. TFTC. SL. left a calling card. Nice sporting area and great hide and cache. Thanks for bringing us to this spot. Cache is in good condition. Cheers.

4 of us Looked and looked.. hope it hasnt been muggled. Pinpointed the area well enough thanks to clues

Lovely sculpture thanks for bringing Muzza and I here. Found quickly

I was out and about caching today with Kiwideb down Tooradin way. This rivals some of Team Crackers Wooden Works caches. Nice bit of sculpting. Cache was found after a couple of minutes of searching.

My thanks to Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Found it after doing battle with its guardian. For an urban trail I've collected a Few scratches . Not too disfiguring luckily. TFTC

3:54 pm Sun 15 Jan 2017
I had looked for about 10 minutes before a couple of families arrived with kids and I got muggled out here.
Thanks anyway Bounty Trackers

What a lovely area. I competed in my local cross country running event here years ago for my local primary school. Thanks for the memories.

Yay- DNF avenged!!

I have been to this part of the world a few times to grab this cache and today was the day I finally was able to get my hands on it. First time I was muggled out by a jogger doing laps of the oval. Subsequent times I had to leave because of the builders in the adjacent block and once drove past and the clubhouses where being renovated!! Then last month the local school was using the oval for PE class. Lucky I live relatively close and it's often on the way to things!!

Well today's sole purpose was this cache. I new the house and clubhouse build's had finished and I bargained on the drizzly weather keeping exercising muggles away. Bingo- I was right had the whole place to ourselves. I finally had enough time to do a proper search at GZ and came up with the goods almost as soon as I started looking.

Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers

Been to this park several times. Stopped this morning thinking I bet there's a cache here. Sure enough. Quick find. Tftc

Thanks for bringing us to this cute place. You are right...wouldn't have known it was here. Got to sign a new logbook and a nice clean brand spanking new container.

New cache
New log sheet
New plastic bag
All ready to be found

Great little park. We came up here to visit car! TFTC

There was a cricket match in progress today, but the area around here was out of sight from the activity and deserted. A quick circle and I was able to spot the hide. The log is now pulp, so I took a photo of the container and log. It certainly is an interesting sculpture and I wouldn't have expected it to be located here.
Thanks for the cache.

Q found the cache. Found in the company of quiet1_au and GJMMelb, TFTC

Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au today as we tackled the nearby puzzles. Did this one on the way. Thanks Bounty trackers
GJMMelb

I'd worked on the P.I.G. puzzles a while ago and recently discovered the Pretzel/Project Pretzel series so spent some time (when I should really have been studying...) cracking these too. I challenged myself to solve them all myself which I did except for one which G' of GJMMelb gave me the solution for (he solved many of them independently) as time was short. Combining these puzzles with a few others in the area and The Slog series a grand plan for a Big Day Out of caching was hatched with a core list of 133 caches to find! Our merry band of cachers - lochb who did the driving and G' of GJMMelb and myself who did the bulk of the brain and legwork - set out early for a full day of mostly drive-by caching. We succeeded in getting 134 finds before light stopped play! This was despite some setbacks: a handful of DNFs (luckily we found other caches to substitute for those we couldn't find), a couple of errors in solutions that we luckily sorted out and still managed finds, an unwelcome flat read tyre and even a couple of "close encounters" with a helicopter - we weren't sure if they were checking us out or not though. A great day of caching that saw all three of us beat our personal best finds in a day

The logbook is wet and in need of replacement

Yay! Great find and a great hide!! A few muggles around but didn't seem to notice us. Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree!!!

12:13:00 PM 6465*
Caching day
Try to finish off some of the area as I want to see all yellow smiles
The log was so muggy and soak (please see the photo)
fav from me
Found it
Thanks Bounty Trackers

There are a million things - including damp logs. Nice park. Nice cache.

Thanks to Bounty Trackers and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

Bring some gumboots after rain, its a bit soggy.

We found this cache today at 3:10pm as 2 of 6 on the Round Route to Korrumburra. This one took a bit of locating before "A" spotted it. The cache is unfortunately not weatherproof and the log sodden. We made our mark nonetheless. An interesting set of sculptures at and around GZ. interestingly, we have never found a cache within a 2.8km radius of this spot until today. Not many places within 50km home that we can do that any more. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A.

My brother took me to watch him coach his basketball boys team.So naturally I had a look and found that there was a cache within walking distance. Wandered up from the school and checked satellite view to find the best way was up the driveway.
There were some people playing tennis but they didn't pay any notice to me.
Took a little while to find as I wasn't sure if I was allowed into the fenced off area but once there it was a quick find.
Nice camo
Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers. Cache is in good condition.

With slight drizzle I approached the site. No workers around due to it being Sunday. Coords had me in a likely spot, but this didn't seem to help. I widen my search to another likely and happy to say a find. Log signed and back again. Some unusual play shapes that were chainsawed carved.

Looked around a bit but had to leave because someone came in to clean up the area....

No joy today
Whille searching a muggle showed up and started cleaning. We will try again. lovely statues

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Awsome little park. I've always wanted to ride on a dragon, but alas travels with dragons rarely lead to cache discoveries as was the case here, as i regrettfully log DNF...

My first ever letterbox! Tha ks gir the cute stamp!

Good hide, quick find. Lovely sculptures! Fun park for little ones, watch out for the workers!

Cute playground!

Tftc nice sculptures

I've lived around here for 15 years and have never been here. Carvings are great. I cant believe I've driven past this one thousands of times.

Hall family found this 3rd one today

Quick find after staying the night with friends in Cardinia - before a bike ride back to Melbourne, Easier than I had expected .. and even with workmen in the area .. quickly dealt with. TFTC

Find **#3209** Traditional **#2504**

I had planned a day out today with a day off work owing to me from Christmas. I was only able to collect a few caches on MEGA weekend. So today was the day to come back here and collect the many puzzles, trads and a few whereigo's. I have worked on some of these puzzles for a while. Some were very difficult and needed some help with, others I solved by myself. It was an early start to the day, I packed the geo vehicle with the geo bike just in case, plenty of drinks, and a bit of food to keep me going for the day. As my day went on, I realised that i wouldn't be able to collect some in the series today. Plenty of road works going on, some roads closed.

I was able to collect this one with a bit of a detour while doing the MEGA series. A nice little spot. I had to wait until the workers that are building behind the fence at the moment left so I could make the find. Stamped and returned as found.

*Thanks for this trad cache, Bounty Trackers*. [^]
Log and container in good condition.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing

Second time lucky or is it that my eye is better in tune today. Anyway I found it this time. TFTC

My plan this morning was to go out early to beat the 39C heat to claim my souvenir but a muggle walking around the oval multiple times prevented me having a decent look, will definitely be back soon!!

14:15
We looked here, a couple of years back but couldn't find a thing! Today with the Suscoe duo it was a different story and we can see a smiley face on the thing on our geo-map.

Our thanks to Bounty Trackers for bringing us to this location.

Suscoe was spending a few days in the area on a caching trip in the very good company of Phetlern.
It was a warm and sunny afternoon when we headed out this way.
1st find of the afternoon.
A quick find when P noticed something that we hadn't.
Thanks to the Bounty Trackers for placing this cache here.
All quiet at GZ today except for us.

Found a first geocache and it was fun Bethg1981 wants to do some more

lovely park, wood carvings are wonderful!
Thanks for the cache

Down from Canberra for a MEGA geo-getaway geomission

Today's geomission was to attend the CITO and then just cruise around collecting more caches

After a little bit of a search I had this one in hand for the signing. Cool sculptures!

Thanks for hide, Bounty Trackers

Couldn't find this one.. Suspect it may not be there...

Neat little spot, well hidden, I walked around for ages before spotting the cache. There was no one around so was easy to crawl, stretch poke and prod. Very clever. TFTC

Greetings from New Zealand. Found with little blue hen while attending the Mega event. Managing at last to catch up logging our finds. Thanks to all COs for the caches to keep us occupied. TFTCSL

a grab as i had a few days off in the area for the mega

thanks to Bounty Trackers for putting this cache out for us to find

New Year's resolution. Catch up logs from our Mega trip that have been put on the back burner. Thanks to all the cache owners for the fun while on holiday from NZ. Found with bkj97. T4TCSL

Plans were made with the FurfacesLL ladies some time ago to attend the Melbourne Event before it became a Mega. We had a fly in fly out weekend arriving Friday lunchtime and heading home Sunday afternoon. Within that time, we managed to squeeze in quite a bit of caching and we were all pretty exhausted by the time we got home.

Day 2 of the Melbourne weekend, after a little sleep, and being woken to the locals having domestics in the room next to us at the motel, we jumped in the car and went caching again. Today we were targeting to get 11 different types in the 1 day. We had targeted the following: Mega, Event, CITO, Multi, Puzzle, Letterbox, Earthcache, Traditional, Wherigo, Virtual and a Lab cache. We were successful in getting them all (although I made the error of not logging the Lab cache on the day and they all show the date of 16/11/2015 when they were found on 14/11/2015)

Nice quick pick up while in the area.

Cache located, log book signed and cache returned. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find Bounty Trackers

Here from SA for the Melbourne Mega Event grabbing caches around Casey Fields for a couple of days. TFTC.

We planned to attend the Melbourne Event when it was first published, and so a whirlwind weekend trip was organised. A lunchtime flight from Canberra got us into Melbourne in time to collect a few smileys on the way to our hotel in Beaconsfield.

Our weekend was filled with collecting lots of caches and meeting new people. Swapping lots of pathtags and seeing the sights around this lovely area.

Our departure time was late enough to collect another series before leaving the area. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches and the organisers for the event. We look forward to returning at another time.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

No luck for Suscoe here today, the cricket players were coming a going and so an uniterupted look was not possible.
Oh well we will just have to come back soon to complete the task, maybe on a weekday.

Headed to Melbourne for the Melbourne Event.

Having a great time in a new area of the state, meeting caching friends old and new and having a great time.

TFTC Bounty Trackers

We enjoyed attending the 2015 MEGA event.
It was a blast caching in an area we hadn't ever cached before.
We found some great caches and had a fantastic time.
So cool to see streams of cachers all over the place.
Thanks for the hide.

Found with the family while attending the MEGA.
It was such a great weekend.
Thanks for hiding a cache for us to find while we were there.

Found with the family while attending the MEGA.
It was my first MEGA event and I had a great time.
Thanks for hiding this cache for us to find while we were there.

Looked around but couldn't find. Time curtailed due to appointment in Dandenong. Love the sculptures. Will be back.

New log sheet ready for the Mega

Found by Mary & David, in company with Mrs Coffee and Alansee (logged as CAM) on the C.F. trail for the day, at 1220. Took a small detour from our C.F. series expedition to find this cache. A great place, and we loved the sculptures. Our thanks to Bounty Trackers.

I had previously been stymied by little muggles here, but today, on a side trip from the C.F. series, all was quiet for a quick find. Interesting woodwork here too.

found it

I was visiting family in Cardinia so this was a great one for us to find. I had no idea this little park was here, what great sculptures. My kids really enjoyed playing at this playground. Thanks for an easy find for our second ever cache.

I've driven past here a few times but have always been in a rush and not able to stop. Today I could, and looked like I'd have no muggles to worry about, nice and quiet. As I approache GZ though, I spotted a car and heard a lawn mower start up, great Casually approached and figured out GZ without needing to look at GPS or phone but LMD (Lawn mower dude) was a bit sus about what I was up to so I took out the phone to snap some pics. He was still watching me and wouldn't go about his business when another car arrived and a woman started walking our way. After they had a quick chat and a few more evil eyes in my direction, she and LMD moved out of sight, finally!

After a couple of minutes of casual observations in case they came back to check on me, I spotted something sus myself and the clever hide was discovered, log signed and replaced before they returned.

Thanks for a great hide and a fun hunt

Cool park

We had just had a great time at the 6months to the Mega event (notice how I was brave enough to use the "M" word now that it has enough will attends to qualify) , and with megs_q riding shotgun! it was off for some serious caching.
As we rolled into the sports ground, we thought this is going to be interesting as there were cars everywhere......
But don't fear dear reader, all the car drivers were indoors having a meeting or something......I dunno, I am just guessing....
Anyway....besides all that, we got down to secret caching business at the interesting POI, and soon enough, Meg came up with the treasure, and we scribbled our names in the log, then rehid as found.

Thanks for the cache Bounty Trackers.

Cheers

Great little spot. No muggles Today .
Out caching with gwd.aussie and d@geo.
Thanks Bounty Trackers

While out caching with SQAU and D@geo we found 53 caches today.
This is the 29th cache of the day.

As well as finding this cache we found all of the P.I.G series caches,
been to a Event, and started The Slog series of caches.
We left home at 6 in the morning and return home after 9 at night.

I have not found a cache before that starts with zero.

This is my 982nd cache.

Thank you for the hide Bounty Trackers

After the 6 Months to the M cache, we started to head towards the pig geo art. This cache was on our way. We pulled in and saw cars around everywhere, but we when approached the area there was no one in sight which made for an easy find TFTC

Out caching with gwd.aussie and sqau. Our aim was to combine the P.I.G series with the "6 Months to The M... Event 2015".

Quickly picked up this cache on the way through from the PIG series to the event.

Thanks Bounty Trackers

Nice one

We were in the area today knocking off some of the mystery caches,
This one was along the way.
Thank you for showing us this cute little park, I loved the dragons very game of thrones, [:x]

On a caching trip accompanied by ceebee2013. TFTC.

Ilovedrwho had suggested an afternoon's caching, so after polishing off the Walk against Want I dashed over and we headed down here. We'd taken the wrong turn (not helped by my nose being buried in GPS's rather than on the road) so ended up approaching from the south, but that gave us the opportunity to make a quick grab of this one.

Couldn't find the entry to this park, so just parked on the road nearby and wandered across to this playground which was thankfully empty, yet full of intriguing sculptures. We tried two different approaches, ilovedrwho taking the right one.

TFTC Bounty Trackers.

03/05/2015 - 12.05pm - Cache No. 413 - 2nd for the day on our 190km Geocaching trip - with dgfb33. Nice playground sculptures. Need to bring granddaughter here. She would love it. TFTC.

Amazing artwork, love the punk kookaburra, lol. Fortunately nice and quiet today. Have to wonder how you stumbled across this place Ash. Thanks Bounty Trackers.

Out with Team Crackers today to grab a few finds. We arrived at GZ to find a deserted area which led to us having no problem searching, cache found and our marks were made in the log.

Many thanks Bounty Trackers for placing this cache .

Micaparamedic was staying with us and we decided to try for a couple of caches this morning after visiting Mr Crackers at work in Cardinia Rd.
We had visited this area before but unfortunately at that time the cache was missing in action.
Today this wasn't the case and the cache was quickly found and our names were added to the log
Thanks for the cache, this would have fitted in well with our wooden work series.

Find number 3 done for today, what a neat little park in the middle of no where

love the park!

Took the scenic tour on the way home to get this baby. Driven past numerous times. Never noticed before. Oh the things you do find!

Very cute area, love this cache, thankyou!!

Finally returned here and found clear access to cache. Last visit there were muggles everywhere, including a couple of workmen at the clubhouse.

TFTC!
Great little spot. Had at avoid a few muggles at Cricket practice though.
Shaloam!

6/02/2015 Found @ 4:35 pm, Find #4056.

This cache has been sitting on my map unfound for a while now, I just never seem to go near it. Today I decided that after work I would go for a bit of a slog and noticed that I could go passed this one on the way.
When I arrived at the reserve there were a couple of Muggles about as it appeared that they were getting ready for a game of cricket, they were doing their thing so I went over to find a cache, after reading the plaques I then started looking which didn't take long before I was signing the log sheet.

Thanks to Bounty Trackers for placing this cache
