TFTC. Took a few minutes in the rain. The heavens opened but we were not scared and pushed on.
Took us a few minutes before I had the cache in my hands. We forgot a pen and there was no pen in cache so we went back to the car and luckily we had bought one.

Find #1133
As I was nearby, I decided to call in and attempt this cache. As I made my way towards the lake, a father was dropping off his son to do some fishing. I walked up the stairs and started a conversation with the muggle Dad. We talked on a variety of subjects for a good 30 minutes before he decided to head home. With his son still fishing I decided it would be best to tell why I was there. I then spent some time educating him about geocaching and ultimately he joined me in the search.
Fortunately I found this one quickly. It would have been very embarrassing to have not found it when I had an audience. 
He was quite intrigued about the whole thing and I gave him some web sites to look at. We might just get a new family of geocaches from this encounter.
This was a nice spot which I didn't know existed. Thank-you for bringing me here.

Quick find while passing through. Had a feeling I was being watched. Tftc tnln
Took a bit of searching and waiting as it's a popular spot. While waiting for the next muggle to pass I was able to narrow down this great hide. TNLNSL very quickly. TFTC. Kems
Found @ 11:45pm, find # 2967.
After finding my targets for the night, I then headed over to Pakenham to find a few unfound caches on my list.
This is an area that I have never been to. I parked at the top and looked down to the bottom which appeared to be a lake with ducks on it, that's the only problem at night.
I went down the stairs and then came back up the rocks until the cache was located.
Thanks to hideandfindit for placing this cache.

I was in the area with my caching mate SedgwickDave. We were playing a different location based game as well today, but decided to try and find this cache while we were here. It didnt take long before Dave had signed the log and had returned to the path.

Found on my way to a Great Gatsby themed New Year's Eve party - was interesting in all of my finery! TFTC!
Found with PapaGrouch and WeRAmused. I think they both had a boy-look as when I looked in the same place I found it. TFTC
I found the right place but SciFiRulz claimed the prize. I must have exposed it a bit for her to find.

TFTCPicked up the trackable, took some newbie friends with us who hadnt done it before, and they are hooked, they borrowed our GPS to caching a few days later!
We found this cache today at 2:00pm as the 1st of 6 on our Fathers Day Caching Expedition. A short drive from the picnic ground where we had lunch and soon found. Interesting steps at the other side. Thanks from D, HA, S, H & A B-A.
Nice easy find on the way home from Bunning. Lovely spot, thanks for the cache hideandfindit.

Found it! It took longer to open the cache container than find it! TFTC SL #27 of 31 for August!
#27 of 31 for August!Found on another Monday night cache run, it sure was terrible weather tonight. Thanks for the cache.
Needed a cache today to fulfill our 31 days in August souvenir hunt. After a sales meeting and before heading home wandered up a road I used to live off and parked the GeoRanger and made my way to GZ.
After looking around and wondering how to access GZ without trampling over the garden, stepped up and walked over bark with no luck, tried a different approach and was rewarded with the find. Took TB and signed the log.
Thanks for the cache hideandfindit
Something you might want to include on the description is that you do not have to walk on the garden to access the cache. That there is a great trail of rocks that provide the access needed without the risk of causing erosion on the bank.

They've done a nice job preparing this area, and I think it will only improve over time. It had rained just before we arrived, and as we searched around, the branches let go of their captured drops, but the cache was found after a bit of a search. Thanks for showing us the area, and for the cache.
Needed a cache today as it is the second day of the cache a day for August,so I grabbed this cache as it was the closest cache to where I was working. thanks hideandfindit for the cache.
I stopped by here while heading up to Gembrook and the Bunyip State Forest. A nice location too. I had to search around a little bit until finally locating the cache. I took a seat, signed the log and was soon back on the road. Thanks for the hide.
My first FTF, yay! (Apologies to the coffee's. We came by just after 5:30 on the Sunday but the light failed us.)
Came back Monday morning, and trying to time it between the numerous runners doing laps of the lake, eventually managed to find the cache a bit to the side of where I thought I would find it at first. Thrilled to see that FTF space waiting to be logged.
Really is a great location, unfortunately the muggles all think so too.

1am,
With Team Crackers we stopped of on the way home from Dicko's 50th birthday bash..
We spent some time looking in light rain before retiring for the night, we were concerned that without a hint the rocks and hill will get trampled and damaged, however we hope it was just us and the cache is easy to find in daylight.
