Archiving..

Waiting for the ground to harden up before replacing.

Needs new container, will be replaced soon.

Found by Mary & David at 1540. Glad we had the GeoPrado today, as it had to get down and dirty to get us close to this cache. We don't know this area, so were surprised to see how many cars were at the end of Beach Road, with at least one driver set up with a camera and a huge telephoto lens. At GZ, another complication was a high tide, but we found a way through and located the cache in a logical spot. Our thanks to TR!.

The road? To this is a challenge for my vehicle but made it safely. A quick find but the container is missing its lid and the contents could fall out one way or get wet the other TFTC TR!

Found it! missing its lid tho...

The road was rough into this area so it was slow going but there were a number of others out today fishing and enjoying the area. A quick find and off we went further down the road. tftc

Found whilst out caching with OutRangerous in the Avalon area. The road looked too wet and wild to take the station wagon down so opted for a walk instead. A very popular area and nice views. TFTC

Out for a day's geocaching with Chakram. battling the flies and sunburn. location that i have never been to because i never knew one could.

Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area.

Extremely rough road but fun drive to the cache. SL TFTC

Interesting spot with all the shell remains. Not a beach for swimming but good for looking for shells. The road in is fun and rough!

Found by Team Justice #599

Found instantly but the lid fell off and that took 10mins to locate haha

The track is very rough but I carried on and found it

Out caching with Bazinga01 and Posho6. Had to leave the car at the boat ramp and pile 8 people in Bazinga's car to get down the track to the cache. The drive to the cache was more fun that finding the cache.

Nice find

Quickly established that our big old 2WD bus was not going down this track! We all rugged up, as it is a cool day and the wind was biting down here, and set off for a walk down here. The kids loved jumping over all the muddy puddles along the way - I'm somewhat amazed, and very glad that none of them ended up IN one of them, and we all enjoyed the abundant bird life we saw along the way. Saw a guy near gz poking around the place, but he seemed very focussed on his own business and unconcerned by ours. The cache was found quickly and quietly, while the younger kiddos hunted for shells and explored the water's edge - they can be great cover sometimes! Thanks to TR!

Beautiful spot for a cache. Lived in Melbourne all my life and geocaching never ceases to amaze me in the amount I learn about this great place. Will be back with for a walk some time very soon.
TFTC!!!

that was a bad dirt road to get here! so many pot holes :/

This is a horrible road even though I have an X-trail it still was not enjoyable. Lucky too that it was bone dry, might have been a bit harder otherwise.
A deserted GZ and a quick find
Thanks TR!

In the local vicinity and managed to pick up this one on our travel. TFTC TNLN SL

In the Avalon area this evening, managed to find some time to whip around and find a few caches, many thanks to TR! for the effort and placement of this cache. TNLN SL

[:(!] Went for a caching run in the geocar before tea and this was one of them.

I like it

Another one of the list

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBMH TR! [^]

Nice quick find here today.

Fortunately no-one in site.

Last time I came down here a guy was entertaining his wife (or maybe it was the other way round) on the bonnet!!

So I thought I'd wait to return.

Today was all fine.

You don't realise how close the penisula is till you come down here.

TFTC

Thanks for the cache been divin of this car park for years

Well, since we're already out to the end of road, we might as get this one too. This was the 5th cache of the morning while out with MrsBlackDuck. Very cool shell dunes. Would have loved to come at low tide and beach combed!

TFTC!

Cache run with Mrs Blue Duck, we have to do all if these we may never get this far again! TFTC.

Didn't find it but here is a picture

Wasn't able to find this cache today as there were too many muggles around to search properly.

Collected this one on the way back from finding Star - Trekkin. Had a bit of a search around, checked low first then had a think about 'the usual way' and came up with the goods. Mini heart attack when I opened the container and saw what looked like spiders legs. It was just the black ring things from the notebook. Paranoid much?
Thanks TR! for bringing me out this way, somewhere I'd never have been without caching.

A nice cache as we were in town for a few Days and caching


thanks to TR! for putting this cache out for us to find

After finding the cache at the boat ramp, headed down the "road" for this one. Well that was an experience, huge potholes, bumps and mud -this would be impassable even in a 4wd after any rain! But it was dry today so it was just a slow trip with carefully selected lines. Finally got to a suitable parking spot and had the cache in hand very quickly. Now to head back up that road - maybe I was meant to walk! Thanks to TR for this one, and interesting part of the bay I haven't seen before.

Nice quick find with Wozzle68 & St37e while attending the CITO

Found during the Cito event. A nice little spot that I have never visited before.

Grabbed this one while taking part in the CITO at Kirks point.
Thanks for the Cache TR!

Picked up this little beauty while attending the "Oscar's Waste Collection" CITO event. I like the placement of this one well done and thanks for the hide!

Nice quick find with Wozzle68 & Shamus1 while attending the CITO

TFTC

Quick find here today whilst out for todays CITO. Thanks TR! For another cache in a spot that is new to me in Geelong.

Picked up whilst combing the beach for rubbish at CITO Event "Oscar's Waste Collection". Just happened to be collecting with the CO at the time but he didn't give me too much help really TN, left a pathtag. TFTC TR!, it was nice to meet you

A quick find while attending the CITO event. Cheers.

Found this one with no trouble, Tftc

TFTC! The Jeep loved the trip out to this one. Lots of puddles

Found after going along a road full of large potholes and puddles following rain. TFTC.

Out for the day with Mrs Crackers, Alansee and Micaparamedic caching around Geelong.
A fantastic day was had by all with many different hides and views.
Thanks Teamrangers for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

Out in the area caching today, as usual had a great day and enjoyed the hunt. The find gave a sense of satisfaction and achievement. Many thanks TR! for placing this cache.

Mrs Crackers joined Alansee, Mrs Coffee and Micaparamedic for a days caching adventure around northern Geelong.
After a dnf at Kirk's Point we were hoping for a better result here. The road was quite rough but we took it slowly and were soon at gz where the cache was found quickly and all our names were added to the log.
Thanks again for the cache.

After birding here many times I am familiar with the area but I don't recall this road being so bad! Fortunately the X-Trail took it in its stride and all was well and the hide soon to hand.

14:43
My main objective of this trip was the WWFM IX event in Geelong at ridiculous o'clock. After caching near the city after the event, it was time to make my way toward home... but I had plenty of that time still in hand.

I've a certain fondness for this area, courtesy of a couple of memorable hides, one of which gained me a year's worth of unloved days when I visited the Point and walked to the bird hide. Since then, a whole new slew of caches has been published, so it was time to return.

Apart from the scenic stroll down the track (I've driven down here before, but didn't want to deal with the slalom course this time), what made this cache most noteworthy was the accompaniment of the container belonging to the nearby What is Kirk's Point??? hide, as I'd been muggled from putting it back in place. Not the first time I've taken a cache on a side trip, and probably not the last.

Thanks again, TR!

Last week I came down to Lara caching with Biggles Bear. There were many caches we ignored as they had already done them, so today I decided I would try to clean up the area. It's nice to come out this way This was a quick find. Thanks to TR! for the cache.

Not much more here that I didn't see at Kirks point. Same view, different trash at GZ.
Weather was quite clement for 8amish, coordinates were reliable.
Thanks for the cache and the view today.

What do you do when you have a good weather forecast for Saturday? You plan a day caching out in and around Lara . Square Pegs, GazaC and I left Melbourne at sunrise this morning, stopping here to have a look for this cache which was found with accurate co-ords and in good condition.

This was an even better drive with lots of ruts, bumps and mud. Great fun.

Thanks TR! for making this an enjoyable day exploring.

Find# 3419

Having visited Kirk's Point, we set off down the track. We were glad of the higher clearance on the car or it would have been a walk instead. Another lovely little spot, with a wonderful view of the bay, but no ships in sight when we visited.
Thanks TR! for the cache.

Coming in via a wet and bumpy road, we were happy to add another smilie where no cache was last time we visited here.
TFTC

on the way to another cache it seemed only fitting that we grab this one and after getting the signs we had been looking for gz was signed and returned

Found It while down in the area filling in a few blanks in the mystery series after a short search the log was signed and we moved onto the next cache Thanks TR! for the cache

Found 10:50:00 PM, during a geocaching trip around Avalon, Lara and environs.

TNLN, thanks Teamranger!.

Find number ten for the day and I imagine Teamranger! will have quite a number of my logs to read this evening ! Needing some exercise and being unsure of the condition of the track I elected to leave the Geo6E and walk in and looking at some of the lumps and bumps, this was probably a sensible choice.
As I approached GZ I noticed a likely search site and was soon proven correct.
Signed the log, admired the view which was remarkably free of any form of water-borne vessel today, then headed on to the next.
Thanks Teamranger! for showing me sights I hadn't seen before !

Found cache when caching with The 2 Wanderers. Saw a few black swans enjoing their day on the water.
TFTC Teamranger

Found while out on a days caching with Julie&GG's. A nice easy find. Once again enjoyed the water.
TFTC

Bumpy kind of driveby Never been down this way before.
Thanks for bringing me here

Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smilely face

The Adventure:
Travelled the rough road, I would imagine it would be interesting in wet weather
When I arrived at the GZ, I just looked around the area in sad dismay, similar to the launching ramp, this area was full of rubbish, it is a sad blight on society when we can't keep area nice. I would imagine that this area to would look nice without the rubbish.

The arrow of my gps told me where to go, and within a few minutes I had located the cache, signed and returned it.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing


Thank you for the cache.

Craig aka Jedi73

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, We were both had time off work so this gave us the opportunity for a big cache run, we headed out to the You Yangs and then headed towards Geelong, a good time was had with some interesting places visited. Thanks Teamranger! for the cache.

The hardest part of this and two other caches in the area was negotiating the roads. The first road in was badly corrugated and the road to the last two caches had many deep holes which took quite some negotiating in our low clearance Ford Focus. Again accurate coordinates and limited hiding locations in the area of GZ led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC Teamranger!

Having taken the day off I'd planned to grab some caches in the Geelong North area, and was happy to hear that Rebel had also taken half a day off. Meeting at the end of the Eastern Freeway we headed over the Bolte and Westgate to gain access to the rich rewards of an un-visted and un-plundered area. We had a great day of caching with my tally 60 Finds / 2 DNF's. We will be back next week to do it all over again, as I've solved all the puzzles in the Geelong area and it's not time to collect. The roads a bit bumpy, but an easy find. Thanks

Another quick find.
Another spot.
Thanks for showing me the area TeamRanger.
Cheers

Yup, that is where I would have hidden it.

This is one of my FAV, bird watching place in Summer.

Muggle enjoyed the view so we drove to another cache. Quick find on return. Was he a muggle or a cacher? Latest written log was 2 days ago so likely a muggle.

A van was parked near GZ, but maybe they were sleeping. Quickly found the cache, retreated to the car to remove and sign the log, and then replaced. A part of the bay I had never visited before, but no ships passing. TFTC

Tftc , easy find

MMMM some guy and his partner were doing as better job than rabbit's on the bonnet of his car here.

I will return when safer to lOOk!!

Continued to follow the cache road to this point however this road was a little more bumpy.

Met some friendly muggles looking for something in the water. We chatted and the we all moved on.
TFTC Teamranger!

Took the gamble and headed down the road...and surprising all was good. A few bumps, but nothing my car couldn't handle . Arrived at GZ and soon had the cache in hand. All was good and the cache is in good nic......

Thanks for showing me the area.....and for the cache.

Found whilst on a caching trip with the CO. What a great view and great to see such clear water despite the amount of rubbish in the area. Tftc

Found by Andrew + Chris - 31/12/13, TFTC.

Found! Was a beautiful day out, a few boats around & people fishing. Last time I was down here I grabbed the What is Kirk's Point??? cache & was hoping to do the others but being in my geosedan & a massive puddle stopped me from getting through. Today the track was dry & very bumpy & I grabbed this cache along with a million flies [;-)]

I had been here for the old cache, a few years ago, this new Geelong Geocaching Craze has paid off and I'm back in this interesting spot again - this time the Jeep dominated the sometimes bumpy road. Thanks for the cache Teamranger.

#496 for us, creeping ever closer to the magic 500 at Whyndam Lights later on.

I had decided to head all the way out to the Captain Kirk's Trek cache and grab this one on the way back.

When I arrived at GZ, there was only one likely spot and sure enough there it was. Dumped rubbish was in evidence here too, which is really disappointing, as sites like this (minus the rubbish of course) have a bleak kind of attraction and make you feel like you're a long way from civilisation. The rubbish though, brings you right back down to earth.

Thanks for the cache Teamranger and another place I have often wondered about with a view to fishing. Not today though, with the strong onshore making it cold and choppy.

I decided to find all the caches in Point Wilson this afternoon.
This was #4 of 6.
Decided that with several large potholes and just such a short distance from Kirk's Point, I would be better off running and cycling in, so no car-bogged-down worries for me!
A quick find, but it's a pity some people come litter such a natural environment.
TFTC.

[green]Find # 2337...[/green]

A nice day to be out & about around the area... Decided to take in Lara and surrounds today...
A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced...

Thanks for Teamranger! bringing me here...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing
~Cache Condition ~ Fine

A nice location for a spot of fishing along the shore line.

Had a bit of a search for this one as there were many muggles in the area, managed to find the cache, sign the log and place it back where it was found.

Suscoe's second find of the afternoon on a Lara area run.
Having the Silver vehicle today the clearance got the better of us so the car was left for an enjoyable walk to GZ.
Along the way we enjoyed the scenery but it is often off putting to see the rear end of a thin creature disappearing into long grass as you walk past, suppose it is better than the double pointy end.
Anyway with q quickened step the trip took a little less time than expected only to meet the scavenging muggle near GZ. so waiting for the looking the other way moment a quick grab was done, signed and returned as he sorted rubbish.
Walk back was fun working out where the slithery fellow could be.
Thanks to Teamranger! for bringing us out here again.

Made the tricky drive down the track and was glad of the extra clearance in the car.
Another great spot if only the view wasn't so clouded.
Thanks again Teamranger!

Nice area here as there sometimes are old wooden boats moored nearby .
The tide was very high .
tftc Teamranger

Our second find for the day. Some skilful driving was required to get around the potholes on the road into this cache. (It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some cachers can be, is it that hard to place logbooks such as these in the cache pages first so the next cacher doesn't have to nearly destroy the log book getting it out, hmmm. I have caches similar to these and find the same results). Having got that off my chest I did enjoy the views and the very high tide today. SL TFTC

Took a trip out here today with the legendary Bushfire in the silver beast 4wd, definitely required. A great location, nice views, lovely day. Thanks to Teamranger for bringing us here for a nice easy find.

TFTC.

Only joking as I read you log on our face book page and I have to agree with you but there is nothing you can do to make a finder make some remarks.
My week on duty at the Fire Brigade and after checking the trucks etc this morning Ozbob and the ageing Bushfire decided to grab a cache or two and this was the first.
On arrival and noticing where we needed to go it was into 4x4 but you can negotiate this track because we saw two young girls in a BMW coupe well down this track.
The white beast had no problems but any vehicle with a bit of clearance will get you to this location but after heavy rain that could all change.
I have been down this way a couple of years ago to find the next cache and we did find it today but I already have a smiley but ozbob grabbed this one while we were in the area.
Low tide today but still lots of bird life around so with the log signed it was back to the boat ramp and seek out the next cache.
Thanks to Teamranger for placing this cache.

Enjoyed the stroll and the views across the bay and back at the You Yangs. Nothing too tricky here and we soon were signing the log and moving on to the next one. TFTC

10:41
We had views of some fishermen out on the bay and beyond them coastal settlements close to home! We do so wish that those returning logs to this type of container did so with the bound end toward the lid. Spot on co-ords lead to a quick find.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt Teamranger!.

Nice little spot.
Thanks.

Headed out to do this one as we needed to fill another in on the 366 day calendar great area except for the rubbish people leave out here TFTC

Second find for the day today thanks to Teamranger! Glad we arrived by 4wd for this one. What a bumpy track all the way to GZ. Nice and quite with great views, pity about the rubbish dumpers.
TFTC Teamranger!

Published

Vicfire and myself raced down to this one and missed a joint FTF by seconds. Nice to have a chat with geordiefamily and the late arrival libzhat TFTC TeamRanger!

FTF second for the night. Too rough for the hubbys commodore so geokid and I ran the track, leaving him to stay with the car. we had cached along this track previously a few months ago, so knew how rough it was.
As we prepared to sign the log headlights began to approach, and familiar voices, along with said hubby who hitched a ride. nice chat with vicfire, belco and libzhat and hitched a ride back to our abandoned car. Tftc

Found a cache nearby thought I would head to this one but in the dark couldnt work out how to get here. Took a wrong turn and started to head back to find I was to late for a FTF. Was a good chat with Geordiefamily, DBelco and Vicfire. Thanks Teamranger for bringing us here. PS think I need to invest in a 4wd after this one.
