TFTC arkbell80 for this cache, about to give up when we spotted it. Spent a good 10min here. TNLN and SL.
Couldnt find it, I think the council may have found it and took it as they were spraying pesticides in the area
Cache has been checked and is still in place with room on the log sheet. The large pen has been removed, which stopped the cache container from closing. Please bring your own writing implement.
About to give up when we found it. Somebody dropped a good abstract hint below of the LIVE rock slab. That may point you in the right direction
Out on Australia day, caching between two events at either end of the day. Found after a short search.Many thanks to arkbell80 for the cache.

Why is this cache called bugs and not the Catwalk?...such an odd structure (must have had some purpose in its previous life)...so I found this cache after a short search ... then I proceeded to strut my stuff on the catwalk to the next cache.
Took a lot of laying on my belly and muggle partner found it while standing up.TFTC found safe and sound.
Now this is a curious place!
Find 3/3 for the day, up to my 5th Bag of CITO.
Thanks heaps for the cache!

Maintenance preformed on this cache today. Cache is still in good shape and plenty of room on the log sheet.
Taking advantage of the fantastic winter sunny day we headed up to Werribee to enjoy some local caching .
A quick find as we wandered the wetlands.
Thanks arkbell80 for the placement.

I had come over to the west today in order to celebrate cachemas and find [sharkiefan's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=34aa4c48-9615-4751-ae99-44e63866e71c&wid=2325e745-73d2-4902-ad65-3ba547f3bb8e&ds=2) [TDOC23: Cachemas Challenge - 100 Checker Attribute (GCA9GZV)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCA9GZV_tdoc23-cachemas-challenge-100-checker-attribute) as I needed to find a challenge cache on the 26th in order to help me work on qualifying for another challenge cache, [ahomburg's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=1ded3729-fe62-40bb-9f5f-fd559e7163b1&wid=54e007c1-391b-4f69-b6f2-af7b91887d92&ds=2) [WCW - A Challenge of Challenges (GC9Z5A3)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9Z5A3).
After I ended up finding that one I had a bit of time to kill as it was peak rush hour and I was in no mood to have to fight the traffic again to get back across the west gate bridge. So I ended up looking what other caches were in the area when I noticed that the [Heathdale Wetlands](https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/whats-on/get-know-your-naturehood-heathdale-glen-orden-wetlands) had a few caches and a couple of them were even field puzzles.
After finding the [CO's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=3ce94e7a-f81e-48b5-a78f-9906ca31768e&wid=1f463db4-1a2e-49ce-83d1-e7604b024a8a&ds=2) [Heathdale Wetlands (Art Wall) (GC8ZFHG)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8ZFHG?luid=9e62ca60-d752-48a9-be26-7f4e7a99ccb5) I then walked over to this one.
The [Heathdale Wetlands](https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/whats-on/get-know-your-naturehood-heathdale-glen-orden-wetlands) really are quite beautiful, and I enjoyed exploring them on my way over to this one.
Kind of a cool beacon at GZ, I wonder what the purpose of this actually is for.
Once I arrived at GZ and saw the beacon I had a rough idea or what type of cache this one would be, but oh so many places for it to hide. However, after a bit of a search and through the process of elimination eventually I was able to make the find.
I ended up finding [Brad's Dodge Charger Trackable (TB566D9)](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=86746c93-3e0f-418c-a306-0388b1e4c6a1) in another cache the other day, but due to this cache being a micro, I will just dipped it in this one and keep it moving.
A big thanks goes to [arkbell80](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=3ce94e7a-f81e-48b5-a78f-9906ca31768e&wid=1f463db4-1a2e-49ce-83d1-e7604b024a8a&ds=2) for bringing me to this beautiful location and for the fun today. TFTC.
**Cache Maintenance Status**
The cache container was in good shape, but some of the paint has now scrapped off one side. The attachment mechanism still seemed strong and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Mr TiedyeSmileys went high, Mrs TiedyeSmileys went low, turned out to be between the both and we soon had the cache in hand.
TFTC and greetings from Tassie

This is literally the second cache today I couldn't find. I'm either hopeless at geocaching or just really unlucky.
Lots of looking but aftet giving my eyes time to adjust from the bright sun, saw something familar that nade my mouth water: David
TFTC, knew what to look for.
A nice quick and easy find.
Lucky for us the last few days had dried up the mud very well and we could very easily avoid it.
The lovely flat slabs of rock with the word “LIVE” etched into the first one will not only be an artistic feature but protective habitat for reptiles. The striped legless lizard is a reptile inhabiting the Western Plains Grasslands and is protected like all Australian reptiles.

Out with dot558 on a detour to visit family and couldn't go pass this one
Thanks for the cache

I had a pretty good idea about where to look for this cache, and I was correct. These are lovely wetlands with plenty of birdlife around. Excellent stuff.
This was the second cache I found today as well as being the second cache I have found in Australia. I walked over to this one after having just successfully found the very creative cache at the nearby BMX track. I was surprised at how few other people were out and about walking around this reserve considering it was such a lovely and calm day today. I only had to wait for one muggle on the nearby trail to walk by before I ended up having much of the area to myself. Following my GPS, I soon found myself to be within a few meters of the cache. I bent over to check one potential location for the hide, but was unable to locate it. I readjusted myself and soon caught a glimpse of the container in its hiding spot before quickly going in to retrieve it. I was very happy that I managed to ind it so quickly. The logsheet was signed before I rehid the cache in its hiding spot.
Thanks for placing these caches out in this area. I enjoyed my quick journey out this area and I look forwards to returning in the near future.

Cache was in the dirt and log sheet was missing, will clean it up and return soon.
We crawled all over this structure trying to find the cache but didn't have any luck here today. Maybe next time.
Found it. Not sure if it is in the correct place. The lid is missing and paper is wet.
Public holiday today so it would be silly not to use my time wisely and go for a cache!! AusFox and I decided we would work our way through a couple of AdventureLabs and any other caches that are in the area.
I had to wait for a few people to walk/ride past so I could start looking for the cache. Coast was clear.... I knew exactly what I was looking for and where to look. Didn't take long until I had cache in hand.
AusFox was telling me what this area is used for and I was amazed that people use those metal bollards to ride their bikes on!!!!

Out with my friend and puppy, enjoying this lovely area. A nice, quiet oasis in suburbia
TFTC! just about to give up but then we found it )) Our 12 year old struggled haha
Another great hide! Haven't seen one like this before! Very creative! And in an amazing area too!
Nice walk around for some exercise
Didn't have tweezers on me so couldn't sign the log
Everything still looks good for it though

Out on the bike on a grey drizzly morning to find some caches before work. Had to look not suspicious for a minute or two while muggles passed, then a pretty quick find. TFTC
Very sneaky place, was about to head off before my partner found it. That was until a huntsman ran across his hand!
