Found at 1230 pm. Had to be careful finding this cache as we had no kids to help us. Log book is in pieces
Originally found with dgfb33 when we were very noobies on 21/10/2013. I had always planned to re-sign this and it took me some time to actually do it. Thanks for the cache.
Day 3 of our South Gippsland holiday and caching adventures saw us (me and the 4 & 6 year old geokids) exploring Wonthaggi and surrounds between events. A quick find today of our fav footy team (though let's not talk about their performance)! It certainly helped having kids with this one! Many thanks
After finishing work in Wonthaggi, I grabbed a few of the Footy Fever caches around town on a cold winters day. sl Thanks cazza that's me for the cache
Caching with With GJMMelb today, I had parked my car and jumped in with them. Our aim was to tackle some higher D/T rating caches
nice easy find on a cold, cold day.
Thanks Cazza for placing this cache

We had a really busy day today with GMelb having an early morning trip to Tullamarine airport to drop off 2 nieces, followed by playing violin at a friend's Church. A quick lunch and we headed down to meet ms-enchantress for some caching followed by having tea with a friend who is down here looking after he Aunty and then driving to Warragul to pick up our son and 2 mates from State Youth Games!! Phew!
This was next on the list and after walking a circle from where we parked to where GZ was loo, ms-enchantress made a quick easy find.

Out helping frmen1 get closer to 1000 so we can go interstate again. TB visit.
Mr SKI put his hand on this one quickly. Lucky this was an easy find, as he's not had too much joy from the Bombers in recent years. Just when he thinks the drugs scandal has settled down, it comes back to haunt him again. Luckily Mrs SKI follows the Cats. At least someone in the household has something to smile about. TFTC
Out with SkiPair on a Wonthaggi cache run and this one popped up. An easy find for a Tigers supporter! TNLNSL Thanks again cazza.
We found this cache today at 5:00pm as number 20 of 24 on Our Wonthaggi New Year Event Day Tour. After finding a similar one earlier, this one was in the first place we checked. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
Came back today with the kids and found it easily. Definitely need kids for this one as it feels too weird without them.
Had a bit of a look for this one but it was difficult without any kids with me. Will have to go back and take the kids so that they can climb all over it. Was not comfortable on my own especially surrounded by so many houses.
We were on a weekend visiting our grandson for his 3rd birthday and then followed by a geo event in Wonthaggi; Following the event, we headed off to grab a few of the multitude of Wonthaggi caches and this was one. We normally avoid playgrounds, but the rain kept the muggles away, and we were able to make our find

Found while out and about with my caching buddy Slink1. We had a great day dodging the rain and we managed to collected a few caches along the way. TNLN SL
Hubby thinks this is the best cache ever. But he is a silly bombers supporter so what would he know.
Melbourne parties Friday noon and returned Tuesday morning in Melbourne. I came here to make different trail of caches in the area. It was intense few days with my bike but very nice! I could find caches with superb camouflage, very good ideas from the cachers. This log will be the same for all caches that I made (sorry) But I want to congratulate in particular:
Nut bear & BorisB & Natasha for "Bay Trail" and "Red Hill Express" (Beautiful cover!)
The Three Amigos Geo for "The Pathway"
Gonefishen07 for the great "Rail Trail"
As well as other geocacher who I discovered several caches during these few days.
Thank you very much
Greetings from France

After checking out the cars at the Show & Shine close by we decided to find a few caches before heading back to our caravan for an Aus Day BBQ lunch. The junior cachers decided to play while I hunted in every spot except the cache location. When I asked 8 yr old "cache-hound" son for some help he ran straight to the spot and yelled FOUND IT. Cache container was interesting. Never seen one like that! TFTC
A straight forward find for ourselves Banana 1, 2 & 3 early in our caching day.

Found by Mary & David at 0840. A place for little Bombers here. The team used to be a favourite in Mary's family, but what a bad year they've had, and not just the games! Fascinated by the container (and similar ones we found later in the day). Hadn't realised such things were available, although we shouldn't have been surprised. Great. Our thanks to cazza_thats_me.

Quiet playground during the hot afternoon today. This made for an uninterrupted hunt and quick signing and back in the air conditioned car. Thanks for the cache
The Swaggies tried for this one earlier in the day, but the owner of the nearby house arrived home so we left it. Now with Alansee and The Morris teamed up this was a quick find with Mrs Morris grabbing the cache.
TFTC Cazza.

Between the 2 events in Wonthaggi I joined with Mr Swaggie and Alansee to do some more caches while it was nice and cool.
A nice easy find by 2 Bombers supporters.

Found with The Swaggies and The Morris. It was hot enough today to keep kids away I think and this one was found very quickly.
Off for an afternoon of caching with princessdiala and ColeyBaby. After a quick analysis of the park, we were able to locate the cache in mere seconds. TFTC
Found @ 4.15pm with Bogonghazy whilst on a Mission to find a Supermarket and got sidetracked caching instead. Thanks to cazza_thats_me for this hide and for the Series. I lost my Dad 7 months ago, and he was a one eyed Bombers supporter, so giving this one a fave, in memory of my Dad.
Found with SUlly1 on our trip down for the local events.
I grew up in a house full of Bomber sisters, and Mum, but can't seem to like them at all.
Thanks for another in your well themed series Cazza that's me

Found at 12:49 PM GAFF1. As I approached the playground a couple of dogs - one black and the other white came rushing towards me yapping away. I stood there and told them that they were inappropriate - the white one was supposed to be red [:o)].
Thanks cazza_thats_me.
Thanks cazza_thats_me.
Found it, in the rain again. Seems I have spent more time wet than dry since I started geocaching.

Quick find - again, lucky we found the park empty.

A wet and windy day, so almost perfect for some playground caches. Have been past a number of playgrounds locally over recent weeks, and every time there were muggles galore. Today was different.
Fairly quick find. TFTC.

After having a great time Gonefishen07s Springtime event with again headed off with the Coffee's grabbing a few caches before heading for home. We pulled up here and were happy to find the place deserted as hides in these areas aren't our favourite. Feeling very exposed to the nearby house and barking dog we noticed that there weren't any light on so we presumed that they weren't at home so we decided for a quick search with all four of us checking out likely locations. Fortunately Diane found it quickly and the cache name became apparent. We added our names to the log and headed off before anyone came out to see why the dog was barking.
Thanks cazza_thats_me for the cache.
