Sorry everyone, I completely forgot to archive this one.
With school load increasing and time going down I unfortunately don't have much time to cache any more.
I might come back to it once school is over and will keep a couple of caches going but I don't think this one is worth it.
I hope to return to this great community when school eases off.

Found this cache today and it is definitely a cute one as described below. Unfortunate the log is missing so cache organizer will need to replace. TFTC.
So cute it made it onto my Instagram blog ( not many things do ) cutest one I've seen so far.
Today we explored Geelong and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Aww cute! Ax quick find stopping off on a bike ride from Geelong to Anglesea via Torquay. Love the holder. Tftc.
First time geocaching, forgot a pencil to write on the log though , very cool nonetheless
I found the cache laying on the ground. I put it back where I thought it would be
Checked on it- it looks fine where it is but if it goes missing we will deal with the issues.
Heading to Anglesea for the weekend with Sully1, we decided to grab a few caches while on the trip down.
Suly spotted this on the ground but we replaced it where we thought it was meant to be.
Thanks defamily, and apologies for the late logging, nice walking track

Found with Bogonghazy while having a clean up around Torquay on our way to Anglesea for a few days.
I spotted this on the ground next to a post, nothing attached to it that I could reattach it to anything. So I've returned it to the same spot. Hopefully it wont get picked up by any wandering animals. Thanks to defamily for the cache and the walk to get here.

Found at night with jamesbarden22 and Milly, found on the ground near a post... Replaced at the bottom of post, maintenance may be required
Updated cache notes- thanks for letting us know about the wrong address!!!
We'll have a check of this one and make sure it is in the right spot.

We (G&JMelb) arrived here on holidays in Torquay last night whilst MMelb is on a School World Challnge trip and is currently in Cambodia! This morning we went to the Farmers Market and then of course had to vote (absentee voting is the best, no queueing!!!) We set off for some caching and got quite confused by the instructions on the cache page, there was no gap next to 34 Ocean View St so we then drove to the tennis court access point. A nice little walk to GZ and cache was found immediately (not sure it was hidden correctly) and then we continued along the track. We then found a track going back up to a road. GMelb followed it (whilst JMelb took photos) and discovered it came out next to 34 Spring Valley Drive (see attached photo) rather than OV St.

The biggest issue here was where to park. Mind you it would have been a lot more straight forward if I had read the cache notes! Ah well. TNLN, SL, TFTC!
On our second day in Torquay we went walking and this cache was along this track.

Took the family out for there first ever geocaching experience, nice easy find the kids now want more. TFTC
Log replaced and cache dried. Should be fine now. Please do not remove lid from hiding spot.
The cache was lying on the ground when we found it and the logbook disintegrated. We replaced it where we thought it should be but you may want to check on it and also replace log book.
Nice little walk to GZ new chair to relax on. Found by geogranny. Need new log. Thanks
10/08/2014 10:01 am Crazy Creels find #999 while staying in Torquay for the weekend. Thanks for the cache We wrote on a scrap of card because the log sheet has disintegrated.

Not being familiar with the area, the longest part of this cache was finding where to park !!! [xx(][xx(] Once we were happy we departed for a short stroll to the cache. A nice quick find. The log has definitely seen better days. It's damp and starting to tear, but I managed to add my name to the list. TFTC defamily.
In the area so a little walk was OK. Spotted the cache as I approached. I must have been on the wrong side of the track. The log is a little damp too.

Found it! Our first Geocache. Due to recent heavy rain in the area the log list is quite soggy. I will replace it on my next walk in the track.
A quick easy find and bumped into some nervous bloke on the track further who was using "his technology" (his words) and we were "freakin'" him out by heading towards him. He soon disappeared muttering and sputtering to himself
Thanks defamily for the cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Found! This was the seventh stop on our caching tour of Torquay by night. Found this one with the Pacman, Roads75, Frog_Lady, Geordiefamily, Lizbhat & Jacko83. This was a very quick find in a very open spot but then again I don't think you would get many walkers here. We did in between the puzzle series, a short detour from where we were. The cache container was on the ground when we found it. It had fallen off its spot, so after we had all signed it I replaced it back where it was with a little adjusting of the hanger.

Out caching with a group of fellow cachers on a group assault on some puzzle caches and any in the close vicinity. This one fell into that category. Quick find although we weren't sure if the cache had displaced itself at some stage. Looks to be a quiet area so cache seems safe in its spot. Tftc and the nice walk.

Meet up tonight with Geordiefamily, Nawal, Frog_lady, Roads75, Pacman, Buckleysbabe and Jacko85 to collect a few smiles in Torquay. We had just finished a nearby cache so we thought that a few of us would collect this one while we were here. TFTC

While out on a night time assault on Torquay decided we would grab this one as it was close... TFTC
Parked on the vacant block and walked down with the dog for a quick find.

Team Locked second ever find!! There is now no room left on the paper to write a date and name. Great hiding spot!
On way to Torquay from Winchelsea..
Beautiful sunny day for walk toward the cache.

In Torquay for a Wedding Reception, had a bit time to kill before it started.
So as Normy once said "Never let a cache go by"
I reached GZ and found the cache after about a 5 minute search. I was happy that it wasn't too difficult as I was dressed in my suit.
TB "Scrat" Visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

In Torquay for a work conference staying at the lovely resort across the road from this reserve. We had a few hours free time so I thought I'm going caching!! Thanks defamily for this clever little cache and my first in Torquay!
I couldn't find the mentioned access to the track, but I managed to dodge the muggle residents and eventually make my way to the cache.
TFTC, defamily.

Got some time away from the kids to take a stroll along yet another great place to walk in Torquay.
GPS played me for a fool for a bit. I was looking at the obvious place, but... the wrong obvious place. Eventually broadened my search and voila.
Thanks for the cache and the excuse to see this pretty little track.

Quick and easy find - once we found the bridge over the creek as we entered the reserve first. TFTC
Really enjoyed the walk and the directions to the track were great. Even stumbled across a little toy koala in one of the trees. TFTC!
Found this one on the annual Torquay pilgrimage. Interesting story re Bowman at the start of the track.
