This was a sneaky hide. Happy to not use a spoiler photo. Log very tight in the cache, tweezers needed for the assist.

With the spoiler pics from other logs this is a easy find and the diff rating should be no higher than 2. Not sure why cachers have to be posting pics of the actual cache they find . Lovely view over looking the beach at 7am today.TFTC

Tftc great cache it is needing a new log sheet

Out second targeted cache as we begin the process of completing our second loop around the D/T maze. Fortunately geoD spotted the hide immediately at the point the GPSr took him to; he wasn't even distracted (much) by the apparently topless mugglette below. In the end it turned out she wasn't they were just really pale bather tops! [:o]

Very sneaky nicely hidden , almost gave up, thanks for the hide here

I attempted this cache early today, and as a result had to dodge many a golfer, runner and walker on the way to GZ. I was able to park quite close and soon began my search. I made the nicely cammoed find and was able to find room on the log for my name, before heading back to the car and dodging more people! TFTC Cookie__Monster

Out for an early.morning cache hunt. Who knows where I will go or end. Tftc... 14. Log is fulllllllllll

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Found at 1400 hours after a morning exploring the reef.
A fun micro with a wonderful view.
TFTC.

Log book is full, extra sheets of paper are needed.

Found by Surefoot24 after I pointed her in the right direction. TFTC

With a D4.5 we didn’t expect to find this on our first attempt, but luck was with us and it was the first thing I put my hand on. Log is almost full and needs replacement.

Found this one after going fishing on the Flinders wharf. The tide was going the wrong way so we went over to Mornington and I collected this one on the way.

Today was a beautiful day and the cache was located quickly after a short search and some thinking about the terrain rating and the log was signed.

Very clever camouflage and this goes towards completing a NZ challenge cache I am working towards currently requiring very high difficulty caches.

Thanks for the cache Cookie_Monster.

GeowifeE add GeoboyB found this straight away.

Maybe the CO is offline. I'll log this as found but had to replace the bison as camo was empty.

Found by Aussie Train Driver 30/09/17, find number 1151.
Out for a walk in Flinders with the family this afternoon and we detoured via this cache. Plenty of hiding spots here and we had five people searching for this one. After a few minutes I spotted something that looked a little out of place and had the well constructed cache in hand. TFTC!

The camo is out lying free but no bison to be seen. I had a spare and a log sheet so these are in place.

Was expecting quite a search for this but had our hands on it in less than 2 min. Beautiful scenery. TFTC

I had not been to Flinders for a little while but we found ourselves out this way today. Such a beautiful area. This cache was a little tricky to find but after plenty of looking we found the clever container. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for this traditional cache Cookie Monster**

On a Sunday drive to flinders just had a quick stop for some fresh air and had a look for this cache found it quit easily TFTC

Wow, what a sneaky, sneaky hide. Thanks Cookie-Monster.

Tftc nice and windy here

Visiting friends in the area and decided to brave the chilly air and look for some local geocaches. As we neared we presumed a place, but too obvious. Following the co-ordinates, one of our crew had his eye out and spotted the well-camoed cache. A great spot with a beautiful view! TFTC. Now, back into the warm car!

Just finished lunch in Flinders and headed out for this one. Must say it was a nice came. Had a search around for a little while where GPS took us and came up with nothing . Decided to widen the search a little wider and spotted something a little different. Yes I had it. Log signed and back safe again.
Find 1119
Thanks cookie - monster

It's a great place to sit and contemplate the world on your own. Well, that's where the geoMrs sat while i searched for the cache. Based on the difficulty rating i didn't expect this to be so easy.

Not sure all is as it should be here. I found it very quickly given the D rating. TFTC

On the Peninsula for a few days and out and about driving with the family today I was attracted to this one by the rare D/T combination but quickly hade the cache in hand...not sure if it's where and haw it should be....might need checking.
Thanks Cookie Monster

Found this one amongst many others during my holiday with my parents through VIC/SA. TFTC

Found it very quickly. Expected it more difficult because of the 5 stars
TFTC

An early drive for me from Geelong, leaving at 6am and arriving here 8:30am.

Beautiful views around here - cache took a little bit of a search, spotted something and sure enough it was the hide!

Thanks for bringing me to this cool location - my first time to Flinders

Today I had the day off so I decided to go and have a big day of caching around the Flinders to Balnarring area, with the goal of clearing this area out. With me have to attend a Welcome back party for one of my friends who was studying abroad for a semester. Anyways sadly my day was cut short as I had to drive around and do some surprise errand in the afternoon. Anyway this cache was quickly found with little to no hassle. I would like to thank you for the cache and the adventure.

We attacked from below
The siege could not last
Trebuchets broke their walls and spirit
And we had victory in no time

Some love may be required to return it to devilish status

Find #2436

I was out nice and early this morning for a few caches down this way. After a traditional find and collecting information for the nearby earth cache I headed to this one (on foot but in a rather roundabout way!). Took a little while searching on a couple of levels before I spotted something of interest and the cache was in hand. I managed to stash it back in place before a muggle couple walking a dog passed by. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Cookie Monster. The view out over the water this morning was magnificent on a chilly but bright and sunny morning.

Out doing the new Bushrangers Bay series & now collecting a few trads nearby. This one was tricky, and it wasn't until I found an errant golfball nearby that I accidentally noticed some not quite right. TFTC

Found on a tour of the area - so many caches, some many nice spots to stop and suck in the oxygen. Found this in the last place I looked which was not the first place I looked....

Thanks to Cookie__Monster and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

Second try & found it!!

Great camo. TFTC. Had fun looking for it

Nice camo! Geodaughter found it as she sat down to hide from a muggle. TFTC

Today was our second look for this cache and again with no luck! We may read through all of the activity logs and return another day!!!

Spent ages looking for this cache today, had to give up!! Will head back another time & look again!!

Cool Found it.

Very clever. One of my favourites.

Suscoe had a delightful day out on the Peninsular today.
It was mostly sunny with a cool breeze and some rain came in late in the day
How lucky were we.
Saw some beautiful countryside and enjoyed a fantastic range of caches.
Well a rapid find here today, just looked in the right spot at the right time.
Thanks to Cookie Monster for this hide.
The camo is showing some signs of age, but aren't we all at times.

Raemoz found it. A well camo hide but easily found. TFTC

Needs new log book

Second attempt at this one. Luck was with us this time. Log book is full. Resident spider guarding cache. TFTC Cookie_monster.
Chiefton

Found very quickly by eldest geokid. We live in An absolutely beautiful part if the world, today is perfect weather for geocaching. TFTC

Cool camo. Took some time to find. Log is full. TFTC.

Found it quite fast, container isn't in best conditions anymore. But nice for bringing us here, good view and driving through a golf course that's funny. Thanks for the cache!

Hard

No joy on hot windy day we will try again

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Could not find it.... After a couple of FTFs this was disappointing

We must be incredibly blind. We wandered around the GZ with our GPSs sending us all over the place... And despite the time we spent searching we have come up empty handed...

While in the area today working our way through the "Jack Speak" series we picked up some traditionals a long the way. Noticing the good DT on this cache and the dnf's our curiosity was piqued. With 3 of us searching it didn't take long for DAB to cry out "Ive got it"....yay...that was a relief! He found the nicely camouflaged cache not far from GZ. **Nice job Cookie Monster , a fav for your efforts.**

Our plan today was to grab the " Jack Speak " series of caches. While we were collecting them, we picked up some trads along the way. We had a great day, finding plenty of different D/T combos,. The scenery was amazing all day and the weather was perfect.
Thanks to all of the CO's for not only placing, but maintaining your caches as well.
Fortunately I had seen this type of hide before, otherwise it would have been a struggle. TFTC Cookie Monster

First ever geo

Beautiful location !

Found it - very clever!! Thank you

Would never have popped out this way ... Thanks for bringing us here!

Tftc found with the geopartner whilst on holidays saw this one and though why not good dificutly rating. Looked for a few mins then boom found. Clever hide

Needs new log book

Great hide. Imaginative container. Amazing view.

With a day off to celebrate the New Year why not go for a drive and grab a few caches in an area we have never really had a look around or cached before. This one was found by Moose and then took in some wonderful views of both the coastline and the golf course. Thanks Cookie_ Monster for the clever hide.

We all piled out of the cars ready to put in for the long search, when the Moose called 'found it'. Sometimes everything just falls your way. As we signed the log we spent some time admiring the view. Thanks for making us stop at this amazing location and the hide.

Haven't found a cache in ages and then here we were today! Great effort

We found this cache while walking the kids around the coastline... Two hang gliders just hovering overhead. There is a dedicated hang glider take off point just up the road. The kids were fascinated. Lovely, elegant hide.

A super quick find today. Saw something red which stood out TFTC

This one was the hardest one for us to find so far. We are fairly new to this. Thanks for the challenge,loved the cache not what we were expecting.

On a road trip collecting caches after attending the Melbourne Mega.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

Took a bit of searching.

Arrived a little early for a work conference so decided to clear my head with a quick walk and a find. In hindsight I should have park&grabbed, but the walk was fun and the bunnies plentiful. Love the camo, I looked straight at the cache without recognising it, but then saw it from another angle and made the find

Here for the Mega and out caching with Lgoody & roostaman.
So much variety in the caches and in the weather!
Ventured a little further from our base today and enjoyed the countryside immensely.
Thank you Cookie__Monster for placing and maintaining this cache.

Today we explored Casey Fields and surrounds with Roosterman, lgoody and The Green Geckos while at the the Mega using geocaching as a guide. This has helped us to fill in our D/T grid.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

[Blue]# 13628[/Blue] Found on another adventure with lgoody and The Green Geckos
along the Jack Speak and Red Hill Express trails, as well as a few others.
The weather was fine and we found some very good hides as well.
The view was great and the D/T combo was handy to have as well.
Thanks for the cache Cookie__Monster,

Completed this one with the group while doing the lab caches with others at the mega.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Down from Canberra for a MEGA geo-getaway geomission

Today's mission was to head down the Peninsula to target the Jack Speak series and to make a start on the caches along the sparkling coastline!

Swung by this one on the way-it would be rude not to!

Thanks for the hide, Cookie__Monster

Staying on the Peninsula, we went to the Red Hill Market this morning then headed to Flinders. We tackled this one from the car park up a mountain goat track, when we should have done a simple drive by. A quick easy find as we had seen similar before. Thankfully there was no stray golf balls when we were driving through the golf course. TFTC.

Good hiding place and disguise

Quick easy find. Found in seconds.

Not as hard as expected. TFTC

One of over 100 caches found on a big day's caching on the Mornington Peninsula with some great friends.
There were many styles of hides and some of the containers were very cool indeed.
Thanks to all the CO's or placing them for others to find.

The caches found with Jabs and Budgietas were signed as JCB.

Find 4579 loged from GSAK

Found this cache as part of a caching run with JABs and Code1. Logs were signed with JCBs
We had a great run of cache finds with over 100 found on the first day.
TFTC

First or all sorry for the long log. Code 1, Budgietas and myself decided to do a caching trip / run and the Mornington area looked like a great place to start. So planes were hatched and we got together. This was the first cache of over a hundred we did in the 12 hour period of caching we had.
A well rounded style, type, size, shade and hides kept us guessing at every corner. So thanks for the cache and a reason to get out and about with a few mates for a day of endless adventure and fun.
Most of the caches we did were signed with JCB. J-Jabs C-Code1 and B-Budgietas.

The thought of a DR 4.5 was a bit daunting, however we agreed to give it a go! A short walk to GZ and the cache ws spotted quite quickly - certainly not 4.5 in the position we found it. Accessing the log was a little more tricky there seems to be a mismatch in size of inner and outer containers. We signed the log and returned the cache to its original position.

Our thanks to Cookie__Monster for bringing us here.

As we said in our log, there seems to be a mismatch in size of inner and outer containers. Perhaps it's time for the CO to check on this one and make repairs to the camouflage!

Awesome hide micro queen found it

Thought this might be a DNF in the dark, but fortunately it was found quickly !
Thanks for the cache, Cookie Monster !

Down to Flinders for a day out with the family, and of course a few cache! Was a fantastic day for some short walks, a sneaky ice Lolly, quick run around for the dog in Hastings and then home. TFTC

Wow easy

Great one very creative

Great hide and disguise

A good easy find. There was a golf ball sitting next to the cache - was this part of the hide?

After seeing the D rating of 4.5 we planned to spend a bit of time searching. I spotted something that looked a little odd and starting playing with it, then I turned around and geowife was already signing the log from the actual hide. Tftc.

Found today! Great cache!

Stopped by and was expecting a longer search but we located the log without any difficulty and were on our way. Thanks Cookie Monster!

My normal caching buddy Fleabag- was busy today so I headed out in the freezing cold and windy weather to pickup a few puzzles I had solved and head along the coast near Flinders as well just so I could soak up the even colder sea "breeze".
I wasn't sure how long it would take to find this one but it didn't matter with no muggles around and all the time in the world I didn't care. I parked nearby and walked in with my phone and it read 1m. I looked down and the first thing I looked at was the cache. That never happens. Love it.
Thanks Cookie_Monster for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Had some spare time this afternoon so I thought heck, may as well get some geocaches!! Headed out for a few hours before the dark clouds rolled in over the peninsula.

After finishing off the Jack speak series, I thought I would grab a few from the area.

Probably the easiest D 4.5 I have ever completed.

TFTC!!

I don't have too many caches to find on the Peninsula but this was one of them, and one i've been meaning to look for for a while now. It was quite windy at GZ and even so there were a few golfers slogging it out on the course nearby. I had to search a bit a GZ but finally found the well camouflaged cache.

Well done Cookie Monster and thanks for the cache.
