Awesome find from mango mermaid, nice to come back after all these years of not finding it.
Buffalo briggzie took me here, and I found it straight away. Loved it! First cache in Churchill I have found! Thank you
Found it! We don’t have a pen but we’re very excited to find our first ever geocache
Geo kid has been searching for this one for weeks now!!!
So proud he finally found it so by himself without my help!

This was a blue face on my geocaching map, indicating we hadn’t found it last time we tried. With the COVID pandemic, there weren’t any Muggles around and we could have a search in this very public place without an audience. Initially we thought we’d have to resort to a PAF, but luckily he didn’t answer his phone before The-Evil-Muggle finally found it after a last check where he’d found a smashed lid before! It might be worth the CO checking this one out. The contents were in reasonable condition despite its lidless state because its hiding place is well sheltered from the elements.
The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so i decided to head out for a day out of the house and what better way than a drive around your own area picking up caches, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves and sanitizer I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. Long arms hepled on this one.
Thanks Happy1956 for the cache.

TFTC I put the log in a plastic bag because the lid is broken. Good hint, I'm making that appointment this afternoon.
Found it but was a little wet and soggy
In the area! Thanks for the temporary tattoo inside- miss 3.5 loves it!

Found it! My knees are a bit dodger so my son had to crawl to help me find it! Fun for out first find though!
After a morning of storms I was feeling pretty much like the walls were closing in so out I went and grabbed this one. As I was out there it occurred to me I didn't really want to spend the weekend here so I grabbed my clothes and headed west. Cache was found in good condition. Tftc
A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
I’m currently working on a Project-GC challenge to get the average word count on my logs over 200 words.
So please ignore the rest of this log as it is just nonsense and song lyrics.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she, had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful, when
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Thanks for the cache

Caching with Team Crackers today. Found what we though had to be the hiding spot but no cache was found there.
Took the dogs out for a walk and decided to have a go. Took a while to find. Bit of fun for the first one
Camped at Dumbalk after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. Twelvth for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC
Hi there Happy1956.
Today we chauffeured SKI Pair around the area as they did a maintenance run on some of their caches. We also managed to find theirs (and a few others) while they looked on with amusement at some of our search techniques.
We are really impressed with the quality of the caches we found today, a lot of thought and effort has gone into their location, size and placement.
All up we found 11 caches & DNF'd 0 in this cache run. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander our way around Australia.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container is in good shape. We replaced the log sheet.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Found yesterday with chaab002, little hunt around but after a bit of back and forth we located it. TFTC!
We were able to drive up to about 3m of GZ according to my finding device. I searched everywhere it seemed possible to have hidden a cache of this size in the vicinity. It must be very well hidden. No luck here today, unfortunately.
After looking for it twice, we found it on the second go. Felt dumb when we found it as we obviously didn't look good enough the first time.
Got a cute little turtle inside it.

Thanks for the cache Happy1956,

Nice and quiet around the area so was able to go hunting without any problems. Stuck my head into the hide area and came face to face with Mr Rabbit who had decided to make the hide his home. Quickly signed the log and left him be.. TFTC
We have stopped here before and there were many muggles playing sport, we watched the game for a bit and left without searching. Today there were a few people making use of the large space and we were able to make the find using geokids so no adjustments from a chiro required.

Luckily for me today this area was a ghost town, not a muggled insight made a for an easy search, I can see how it would be difficult on sports days, thanks for the hide
The annoying thing about this cache was how often people can randomly show up close to GZ. One minute there's a couple of people tending to the grounds, the next there's someone walking the dog! I can't blame them though, it's a nice quiet area, and now that I've found the hideaway, I don't need to sneak around behind the footy sheds all suspicious like. I left a bit of swag too. TFTC!
It isn't the bandage type thing - trust me w/ Josey ([BalrogofMorgoth](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?guid=82b395d4-317b-4816-87d5-255a48e48970)) and Benika!
Nice one here. Found at night and felt awfully suspicious with my torch as a game had been played today and people were driving past hahaha TFTC
My younger brother and I took a while to find this cache as we were set on looking for it around the target. When we read about it we found out that it was magnetic and started looking on the pipes Everybody has their blonde moments. Eventually found the cache and popped it back into place
Found after the second time searching. Knew it could only be in the one spot after figuring out the type of cache it was. Tftc!

Out caching the area with gwd.aussie. Our aim was to finish off a few more caches in the area concentrating on a couple of specific caches that fulfilled a challenge cache. This cache would help fulfil the requirement for the challenge cache. A quick find by gwd.aussie.
Thanks Happy1956

Read the hint and didn't know what to expect here, but put my hand right on target and the log was found.
Thanks for the placement Happy1956.
