Right near a busy intersection, muggles everywhere. Found it pretty easily though TYFTC
Battled the traffic to get here after work today and turn this long ago DNF into a smiley. One more day ticked off the caching calendar. Thanks for hiding.
Needed to use the hint as there was no way I was going to stand around there long enough to search everywhere! Great little spot but VERY visible to the public, so somewhat challenging. Tftc
I never know where my day will finish, but there is usually a geocache not too far away.This is my nearest unfound cache in the area.A quick retrieval when the lights changed.Thank you for placing this cache and highlighting the area mate.
I had been to a morning Event held in Werribee... and when it ended, I set off for my day's caching in the Wyndham LGA... yeah, I am working on a couple of LGA challenges and I needed caches in this area. Having hit my quota for the day, I decided to start for home as it would involve getting across the West Gate Bridge... and the traffic was completely bonkers because of all the road works there. Doing my best to avoid the main roads, my route took mt close to this cache so I made a small detour to find some parking so I could find it. Thanks **Snap Happy** for putting this cache here.
Came late to avoid muggles but almost impossible. Was discreet as possible. Quick find. Tftc
We have got way behind in our logging and are trying to catch up and get our caching in order.Life has been pretty hectic this year, and a lot of it has gotten in the way of efficient logging of finds.We want to thank all the Cache owners for providing an array of caches for us around our countryside and in our cities.We apologise for the generic logs. We must do this to get through the backlog.Unless otherwise specified, all the caches we found were in good order.Thank you, Snap Happy, for this Traditional cache.
I parked at a nearby street and made the short walk to GZ. I decided to wear my fluro vest so it looked like I was supposed to be here.Cache is in good condition and ready for its next visitor!Thanks for the hide
TFTC out and about with Algae on the geoscooters, grabbing some smilies. We did about 20 km.
Nice quick easy find stayed at my sisters place in West Landing came down for a Christmas in a July event yesterday do a bit of cashing around the area
Lucky to work out a parking spot nearby, quickly found with ConnieandRick. This Trail certainly gets used and must be a great place for locals to enjoy. Thanks Snap Happy for placing this cache and contributing to this great game. Happy trails, Deanside
Out for a few hours with Deanside, started on this trail and then went further afield. Another day of sunshine, good finds and lots of laughs. Once we worked how to do get nearby by car, it was a quick find .
Out caching on an Anzac Day afternoon, there was no doubt about where this cache would be hidden. It was found quickly and easily in the expected location.
*The "I Clearly Suck At Geocaching On A Bike" Adventure #2*
The plan was to ride from Werribee to Williamstown, picking up maximum numbers of Geocaches. The plan... didn't go to plan.
I started my journey at Weeribee Mercy Hospital, working my way up to a nearby cache and then to this one. But from the start, I was utterly distracted by the seemingly extraordinary amount of litter in the streets. By the time I got to this cache, I had picked up around 150 plastic drink bottles alone.
It's more than a pity - there are some very pretty places around here.
Thanks heaps for the cache, Snap Happy!

Surprised that this doesn't get more finds. It was a walk up and put your hand straight on it situation for me.
Come back at night. Wear a hoodie. Wait for the traffic. Make your attack. Sign the log. Retreat.
Super busy intersection so I had to wait for traffic gaps to make the find. TFTC!
As today is my last day working in the area for this fire season, I headed out to grab a few caches before work.
A nice quick find here thanks to the hint. The sculpture is cleverly done.

Not far from home for us, so we quickly darted out the front door and began our journey towards the big yellow bridge. Turned out to be a quick find after reading the hint! TFTC
Checked and all good to go again.
Hide changed slightly (hint updated) after nearby works.

Will get out to check this one next week.
Am away at the moment and left it disabled due to local works and COVID.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Unfortunately still inaccessible even if still thete at all due to construction.
Cache may need checking on after construction fences come down. GPS took us past the fence, everything is super dug up atm
Logging with the permission of the CO.
In the area for an event today and couldn't resist doing just a few around the suburb.
After finding the best place to park I made my way to Gz but encountered a problem.
But after communicating with the canon sponsored Co, he was happy for me to log it.
Cheers for the cache

Yeah; that hidey hole is in need of some TLC. I had to dislodge a nest of ants to find this one.

Found it without too much difficulty, however the lid is cracked and is in need of replacement.
Nice little hide. Been a while between caches with _BFMC_

(Re-logging after I deleted it by accident) Out for a lunchtime cache with Crack’n’LeeLee for what seems like the first time in forever. Time wasn’t on our side and this is the closest cache to the office neither of us had found, so here we are! We made a very quick find due to the container being open and the cache clearly visible. Log signed and cache returned as it should be found. The lid is cracked and partially missing but I was able to reattach without too many issues. Great weather to be getting a smiley, TFTC.
Out this way for a bit of caching, and I can remember seeing rather large Airplanes taking off from this strip, one was the Canberra Bomber, big noisy beast they were, but toaday was very quiet, no noise just lots of ants inside a particular item that I was searching for, found and placed a temporary log sheet into cache for others to keep signing, Thanks for the hide, Snap Happy, I have two like this to be placed later this year, The top ring is also broken, but still holding together, next time in area you may need to do repairs
Could only have been in a limited amount of places.
Note log is full and needs replacing.
Great history.
Both Mr and Mrs Riddell can recall going to air shows here as young children... who would have ever thought.... an interesting spot at peak hour.

*New Years Day - we took a detour via Laverton on the way home, in the good company of Suscoe after attending the "Happy New Year 2018 - Melbourne CBD" Event.*
Cache notes took us on a trip down memory lane, in another life, P-P had quite a close association with this RAAF base. A FP logged in for this very sneaky hide.
Thanks Snap Happy for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

It was pretty quiet in this area today, sun is out and so am I. Found and signed. There is a need for a new log on this one. Thanks for the interesting hide. Tftc
In the area picking up a couple of caches on the way home
Parked the Geowagon at the display village and strolled over to GZ
GPS led me to the area and after a poke around I thought surely not that can't be it and yes it was
A very clever and sneaky hide
Thanks Snap Happy TFTC

Out caching with Simsfamily from Werribee to Truganina and everywhere in between with the usual encouraging banter.
At first we were looking in wrong area, we widened the search with Sims spotting the hide.
Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache Snap Happy

With not being all that well of late and only just getting back on my feet I was very grateful for Ausfox; getting me out and about for a day of predominantly park and grabs with a few short walks thrown in. I will need to build up to our more adventurous outing again hopefully soon.
Initially our GPS had us looking in the wrong area. After a little while the GPS straightened itself out and brought me to something that needed investigating. With our names in the log book everything was put back as found.
Thank you Snap_happy for the hunt

After having spent the afternoon on the bike around Point Cook I decided that I would go further afield on my way home.
A quick find. TFTC.

Well disguised. Looked at it, touched it, dismissed it, and returned 30 minutes later to assure my wife that it wasn't it, but i was, lol.
after a false start had this one found fairly quickly and hopefully discreetly!
It's lucky that I keep a notebook with details of all the caches I find because I have got extremely behind with my logs. I am now attempting to catch up as well as keep up-to-date with my current finds.
Anyhoo, I was over this way to see a friend's art display at a nearby shopping centre. I dropped by this cache on the way there as it was only a short distance down the road. I parked nearby and wandered the short distance to GZ. No muggles here today so I was free to search. [^] Thanks to the spot-on co-ords I found the cache after a brief search and signed the log at 4:05 pm. TNLN. I then headed down the road to my friend's display.
Thanks Snap Happy for the cleverly camo'd cache and for the interesting history of RAAF Williams. After finding the cache I had a quick squiz at the commemorative sculpture and the beautiful gardens.

So today i met up with Boatie Tim. I got to his place about 10ish. We soon headed off, for our adventure. We pulled up on the side of the road, and walked to the path. After looking for a bit, i soon had the cache in my hands and had it signed. Lots of ants crawling around.
We also met another cacher who was taking his daughter to sign the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

10:42, 20 Nov 16, FInd #110, Out with Sezzy2683 for a day of caching in the local area.
She arrived at my place and we headed off to find the first one on our list for the day.. not long and we were parked and walking up to the GZ area. This one took us a little while to find as my phone was playing up today with the GPS and it had us looking on the wrong track .. so we looked a little further and not long and Sezzy had this one found and in her hands and shaking off all the ants and then had the log open and pen in hand to sign the log.. it wasnt long and it was all put back together and we headed off back to the car..
While sitting in the car we saw another car turn up and not long, a man and a child in a dressing gown were out of their car and looked like they were heading off in the general area.. Sezzy said "watch out for the ants" the man then walked back toward our vehicle and we started chatting and found out that he had been here previously and was only here for his daughter to sign the log. We chatted for a little about caching and then said bye and departed off to find the next cache in our list. TFTC. great hiding spot.

Out in the western suburbs today and turned this well camouflaged hide into a quick park and grab using the geo motorbike.

This one kept us busy for longer than it should have. Nice hide, well done.Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Out with my boys for the afternoon. First of 8 finds for the day.
The only one that I found.
These kids are getting too good at this game.
Might be time to head out on my own.

This one we found quite easy by chance but I'd say it would be hard to find yay
Out caching with bessiethedog tonight. Coordinates were a bit off but soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.
This was day 9 of our trip to the southern parts of our country being Victoria and Tasmania. The GPS was very good on this cache and there was one feature that stood out that needed to be investigated. The cache was certainly there and soon came to light. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced as found. TFTC.
Owner Maintenance carried out prior to Christmas...
All is well with this one...
All is well with this one...
Quick grab while in the area, very good disguise too. Disturbed a nest of ants while retrieving the log but they're not the biting type.
On a bike ride with a muggle friend who tolerates my addiction. I paced back and forth a bit before the face-palm moment. Nicely done, Snap Happy!
