Trolling - Penguin #9 Donvale, Victoria, Australia
By 3rddoncaster on 20-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4GQ66

Found a while ago by 2 geoteens and 1 geokid so came back to show the rest of Team Winsley. Didn't realise it was disabled! Signed anyway. 2nd for Christmas Day!

Oops. Turned out this one was still in my phone so I made the find despite the archived nature. If I'd realised I'd have taken the container away with me instead of just signing.. Oh well, next time maybe!

Cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache.

I am archiving the listing for the time being. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (next 30 days), just contact me (by email and include GC number in Subject), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

My son has lost interest and is not maintaining his geocaches so I have disabled them

A tough one to extract for our smaller geotrackers, but managed to do so with balance and spider webs...

A lovely day for a cache or two and this one was a very easy find once the coast was clear. A nice spot in a nice park.

Extraction delegation to Geo hubby...tftc

Tftc.

That was a good one. A bike ride with the Geokid and 1 saw us pick up quite a few along this route. It's refreshing to find a decent size cache. Thanks

Out with poptoppete and geodog tonight picking up a few random caches. Tftc

Found with Gunks during a late evening caching expedition.

Found where expected. I was mostly worried about emerging but the muggle who was around had left.

Nice hide, found a snake on my way out to!

Great little spot, and lovely to go for a walk to find others nearby as well. We were chatting a little loudly at the cache when a muggle came past, we must have looked a bit suspicious. Thanks so much!

Easy found. Thx

Logs nearly full slippery to get to when wet quick find tftc

MasterIschi and Arthur and Dent went on another, again time shorter, cache run. We collected ten or so caches. The baluke series was finished and we collected some more along the Mullum Mullum Creek. We send a TFTC to all cache owners.

Trolled my way to find this on a sat morning bike ride TFTC

Perfect cache name to drop a penguin TB in
Lots of cars in the car park but nobody around so getting the cache wasn't too difficult. TFTC

Thanks

Pretty east one after pt session. Geo girl wanted to a bigger one

Found. Thanks.

Slink1 came over to see if caching was a possibility. Who can say no to a bit of caching? A great afternoon of trekking trails and parkland was the result. Thanks to all the cache owners for the care and effort they have taken with their caches. TNLN SL TFTC.

Dropped in on Dunko this arvo to see if caching was a possibility sure enough it was, A great afternoon of trekking trails and parkland was the result. Many thanks to 3rddoncaster for the effort and placement of this cache. TNLN SL

Safe enough scramble. Cache in good condit, but LB needs replacing- full

Trollolol sneaky find!

Tftc. So many spiderwebs!

Found with pa_i_ge

Found with jamesbarden22 after reading some previous logs

In pursuit of this cache i acquired my first caching injury - i slammed my face into the handrail of the bridge and luckily or unluckily depending on your point of view, was wearing a low riding baseball cap that obscured my view from proximity of said handrail....A little blood, pain and headaches later...we found the cache and i wouldn't let my husband leave until had signed it.

I like how people have said- the clue is in the title. Lightbulb moment.
Unfortunately Vandal had a mishap with the slippery ground and banged her head. So do be careful!

Wrong type of day to search this bushland might try another day - guy quite close

We found this cache today at 3:05pm as #9 of 27 on our Tour de Pines Afternoon. Surprised that there is a bridge like this in Melbourne that has not had a cache placed at it until now. A nice little spot. Thanks from D & H B-A.

Found at 15:35
In the area for a new cache but no luck there and the kids still needed a run. Parked nearby and sent the kids in for the retrieve. Signed, swapped and replaced and we were off for our walk up the creek.
Thanks 3rddoncaster for the cache. I love this area.

Very good picked up a TB

Thank you, fits the name perfectly! Dropped a TB here.

Easy from the right angle

Easy find

Found with tomo134. Easy find. Tftc

TFTC

Checking on my own cache. All good.

Had a couple of hours to fill in before heading off to the grandkids. Parked the car in the recreation area nearby. Lovely area to walk through here. Nice easy find and in luck with no joggers passing through. Left TB Thanks for the cache 3rddoncaster

A nice easy find. Thanks 3rddoncaster.

Knew where to look when we arrived. Way down was dangerously steep and when there was no cache I realised I was on the wrong side of the creek. Haha. Log signed! Thanks.

Could not find it at first, blamed the GPS for leading me down the wrong path. Restart and read the log, the name is the biggest clue, relief I found it and now to fight the crawlies for the cache. Thanks penguin. TFTC

Found a very long time ago.
Sorry for my delayed log.
I have a huge build up of saved unlogged found caches and now the old app is retiring, I thought I better get onto a couple while I have a few hours free and it is too hot to go caching.
My apologies again.
Cheers and T.F.T.C!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

I left the car here and started todays ride. Aiming to pick up the clues that went in the caches when i first knocked them off my list.

Nice little hide and i took the TB that was relaxing in the cache.

The hail had all finished yesterday and this morning was bright and sunny, just the day for some caches. We packed the bikes and headed out to the second leg of the trail along the Yarra. We (Bettyboo3734 and I) completed another alphabet, less than one to go.
A great day's riding and caching through the parkland.
We dropped off to grab the TB from this cache on the way home.
GPSr said the log on the side of the track, but we figured another hide was more likely.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 4328. Robmc and I had been caching around the Ruffey Lakes area and called by here today specifically to pick up a TB that was in this cache. A nice spot here, but busy along the road nearby. From the name we figured where to look but the coordinates on our GPS's wanted us to look elsewhere. TFTC

Found this one today. It took a while to locate it and I was glad that it was late evening and there weren't many muggles around tonight as I don't think I could have gotten this one discretely. Signed log but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache 3rddoncaster.

Nice easy find today based on the name of the cache. My first of the penguin caches, I'll gradually get the other ones on future visits to the area. Took a trackable.

Short afternoon caching. I have been to this spot several times which is not far from our own cache. The GPS took longer to find satellites than it did to find the cache. The cache was in an obvious location which was fortunate because Gz was 12m out by the GPS reading. Thanks 3rddoncaster

Picked this one up after work as I needed to drop some trackables. Had to wait a minute for the muggle and her dog wander off, but was an easy find. TFTC

Found 2:55:00 PM, after a brief search.

TNLN, thanks 3rddoncaster

It's a wet and windy day ... Great for caching as no muggles around! Found quite quickly, signed and back to the dry car! TFTC

I needed a decent-sized cache to drop off a travelbug, and after issues with muggles at other caches (or hides I wasn't happy leaving a trackable in) I headed out to try my luck here. The coordinates on the map looked fine, but seemed to be off target in the field - I'll blame the tree-cover/bad satellite configuration I think. After trying my luck at one place, I saw the cache and headed over to grab it. TFTC

Great hide for this cache, But would hate to do
this in the winter months.

King King Geoprince2 and Geodog

Our last find for the day - Geoprince enjoyed playing poo sticks while geodog introduced herself to the dogs crossing by. King Jr stayed in situ as Sr signed the log. Our thanks for the nice sized cache.

The water was flowing fast but not high,

thanks 3rd Doncaster [:x]

Water low enough to log this one....TFTC

Good find. TFTC

Out with the geonephews. Many muggle a around so they were a great disguise. tftc

While the youngest geo son snoozed in the car Moose and I made the short walk and find. No trolls about today and we signed the log undisturbed.TFTC

The boys trolled for this one while I watched over the sleeping angel. Thanks for the cache.

Great spot with great swaps!

Tftc out with my mate on our hunt for the night

Cool

GPS wandered a bit, so I used geo-sense to find the well hidden cache. Thanks 3rddoncaster

I found this after work today. I needed one to fill this date. tftc.
Crusty.

Lovely sunny late winters afternoon to go caching. A familiar bike ride made more interesting by the 'hunt'. The kids enjoyed clambering and spotted the cache from the other side of the river. Well crafted spot for a large cache.

Last of this morning's bunch while on the way to work. The O3 took a moment or two to decide which end to look for the cache but once it did, I was able to get down and (not so ) dirty for the find at 09:10.

TNLNSL. Thanks again 3rddoncaster.

Great hide. Coords had us at the fallen tree but soon realised where it actually was.
TFTC!

After lunch we moved to check out more southerly caches and a short drive took us to this familiar park along the creek. YT was sent to search and had the container in hand at 14:10. TFTC

Found on a TDC run, lots of laughs and good times had while out finding caches, The weather was actually quiet mild tonight. Thanks 3rddoncaster for the cache.

One of 40 plus finds tonight on a big cache run with Trailrunning and Rebel Acts. We had no shortage of new caches to choose from tonight as well as some older ones we wanted to pick up along the way. The traffic at the beginning of the run slowed us down a little, as can be with city caching at this time of the evening, but once the peak hour rush had passed we made some really good time.
The weather was good for us once again, which was great as we had a couple of decent walks during the night. A nice variety of caches found with some multi's, puzzles and even a FTF to make for a great fun night of caching. Thanks to all the CO's who placed and maintain the caches we found.

Having seen the proliferation of new caches being published in recent weeks, we decided on a clear and relatively warm night to do a big cleanup loop around Melbourne collecting 40+ caches in the process. With so many new cachers coming into the game, there appears to be a surge in cache placements this year and it's hard to keep up. Co-ords were a little off, but found in the regular spot.

In my home territory. Thanks 3rdDoncaster

Sunny afternoon nice day for walk and all roads lead to caches tftc

Found @ 13:50 hrs.
Took a bit of finding as I wasn't carefull enough at the first place I looked.
After extending my search and not having a find I made a thorough search in the first place and had success.Thanks 3rddoncaster for a good hide.

Published

{FTF} @ 3:15 pm.

I had been out to get my cache for the day and that turned into two and then into three, the last being a FTF. I was doing the shopping on the way home when some more e-mails came in announcing new caches. This one and "Reservation - Penguin #7" weren't all that far away. I really should be working but hmm, could I mange another two FTF's? I have found two in a day three times already so trying for three was very attractive.

"Work can wait" I decided and set off back across the Yarra. It was an easy drive to this cache and I parked nearby. My initial search was through all the flood debris as that was were GZ was being indicated. With no success there I went a little further a field to another rather obvious possibility. With a little careful manoeuvring I soon had the cache in hand. On checking the log book I discovered that I was first here...making it two FTF's today...I wonder if I could manage three.

Thanks 3rddoncaster for this cache. The location is great but there is a big risk the cache will get carried off when the creek floods.
