Come out for a quick stroll up the hill to find the 3 caches. First one ticked off! TFTC

A quick find in a logical location here today. The weather was cool but rainy and it was nice to get out and get some walking around done.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache experience here for us today.

Was hoping for a nice quick find with the geodog, looked straight past it twice! Well done
Suscoe headed for the Bundoora area on a mild day with a bit of sun, a bit of cloud and a mild breeze for a Summer's day.
20 caches visited and 20 caches found.
All caches are in good order and are well maintained by their owners, thank you.
Thanks to GraWil for this hide and the walk up the track.
Just the thing before lunch.

First time in the Hills! Log is full and slightly damp, big thunderstorm last night. Tftc
The first of 3 caches that enticed me along here today. Nice morning and I saw an enormous roo nearby which was not interested in moving along any time soon. Nice easy find here
cheers

Another one bites the dust !! On the way back down & to Coles to grab a late lunch & a "P" break !!
Very nice spot, #5 for today. Found some pretty large kangaroos hanging out in the paddock right next to where I parked my car, and then I found the cache after a short walk up the hill. TFTC, great spot!
It being a nice day a bit of caching was in order. It would've been an easy walk for someone a lot younger and fitter than me. TFTC.
Found last night with TrailStevo on a Sunday evening escape. Hoping for double figures, but it was had Work getting there, a few false starts, a few DNF, and quite a few cache in the area that might need some maintenance. Enjoyed the drivebys, short walks and exploring the area. TFTC grawil
Managed to find a few tonight, although it wasn't smooth sailing with a number that we were going to visit indicating many DNFs or missing. TFTC
Nice find. Didn’t set the app off annoyingly but searched a suspicious structure and got the reward
Found without too much difficulty. The first of 3 in quarry hills on my hunt today.
I got up early to beat the heat and to find a few caches before retreating back to the aircon at home.
After doing a few others in the area I saw 3 green dots on my map and after reading the title I was enticed to find these before heading home.
Parked the Geowagon at the gate and I huffed and puffed my way up the hill and soon got to GZ.
A quick search and I was soon sitting and signing the log.
Oh well 2 more to go and it is not that hot yet.
Thanks GraWil TFTC.

Found this while on a walk with my partner who has already found it, Handsy93
A lovely spot, a nice walk. Found it with not too much trouble although it is very nicely camouflaged!
This was the last cache for the day, and a quick break from the nice downhill. We sat and quickly located this one. Thanks GraWil for the caches on the Granite hills, fun ride and interesting spot.

This cache was also easy and I found it in about 30 seconds! Good cache! TFTC!!
Visiting the area with the young son for a walk and a few caches. It's been awhile since I was here last. In fact I think I mostly carried his older sister up the hill when she was even younger than he is now!
We spotted a couple of Scarlet Robins here as we were signing the logbook. That takes me back to my childhood and living on farmland near bush.

Thanks GraWil, I was a little puffed going up but it was worth it, a great area.

Upon waking early this morning, I had a bit of time before work, and so I decided to do a few caches near home that I hadn't gotten around to yet.
I have done the caches on the other side of Quarry Hills previously, and so I knew what to expect here. Unfortunately, I am only just getting some fitness back after a leisurely Christmas holiday period, and so i huffed and puffed a fair bit while out finding this series.
This one was a nice quick find. TFTC

I am taking a week off to go on a caching holiday. My plans for the second day was to find all the caches within Mt Dissapointment bushland. Though I had a late start after finding a D5T5 and thus didn't finish until after dark.
During the trip I saw quite a few wallibies, a couple of horses, a head on car crash (no one was hurt at least), I heard a few deer honking, and other than caches I found a hiking pole and a fellow cacher's personal log stamp.
After leaving the area I had to find some more caches on the way South in order to reach the 270 finds in a day milestone which I just managed!
After all that my car needs a good wash!
Thanks for all the caches!

The granite hills enticed me today, here with Jeckleberryandtedd. Perfect weather for hill climbing. The seats were well placed to provide rest stops as we ascended. Views are lovely (but pity about the substation and transmission lines). TFTC
I really didn't need a reminder of how unfit I am after 3 years of juggling study, work and family (oh and a bit of geocaching). Appears I got it anyway. Thank goodness for the benches to rest on. TFTC.
Great location and doing a find away from a playground for a change I give this a Fav.
TFTC .. Nice little walk. You may need to attend to the log book. Starting to get damp.
Thanks for this cache gave us a good reason to go back to favourite walk but this time with a good reason!!!
Darn! About to loose the sole of my shoe! Cache boots have a tough life didn't take long to find it. Stayed for a bit to enjoy the view of roos approaching us. Thanks for the cache!
Last find then to cross suburbia back to my car on the other side. This one really is a key holder! Thanks
Seeing these 3 close together we headed over. We parked at the bottom of the track and made our way continually up after each find. There is certainly a common theme here with the hides. A bit of a view from up top. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
I have never been to this park before but it gave my legs a workout and the views from the top were well worth the walk. Thanks for the enforced stop on the walk.
A nice easy find in the first spot we looked. Good excuse to take the did for a walk in the area
Nice little exploration of Granite Hills Park today with the Geokid ~ understand the Terrain rating now a lot better but worth it for the view ~ ran into a larger group of cachers on bikes doing it hard on the terrain also ~TFTC
Out cache hunting with grandsons. Reasonably easy find. Good encouragement for gransons to carry on up the hill to find the next two hidden by GraWil - thank you
Out for a mini caching run this morning in the South Morang area, anywhere in the north to avoid the rain that was bucketing down in the Vermont area.
Nice walk up the hill, great views, nice quick finds, no rain, perfect.
Thanks for placing this cache GraWil

Slightly different this one, but more like the shape I was expecting the first cache to take
We were lunching a few km's away and this looked like an interesting area to explore, and of course find a few caches. I found the cache whilst waiting for others to walk up the hill.
Thanks GraWil - Great location we had not been to previously.

We're back in the geocaching trail after being busy doing other things. TFTC.
Needed some exercise so took the bike for a spin. Left bike at gateway and walked up to tackle the 1st of 3 up this hill. Got to GZ, checked to see if there were any hints. No hints, no matter, the search took all of 5 seconds. Thanks GraWil.
I had come out this way to see some new sights and grab a few caches while I was at it. This one was a short walk but gave some great views over the area. Found after circling the gz a few times. Thanks GraWil for the cache.
