On our way to tackle some geocache art and picked this one up along the way. TFTC
Last time I was here the cache was disabled and we were going to replace the logbook, but it was missing. Returned here today to find that its now been replaced and re-enabled. Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, SirJ-Oz ~~
After a decent amount of searching I found it, such a sneaky one! Was ready to go home!
Very creative cache. Reckon I might use this as a orienteering adventure for my year 11 PE class. TFTC
Day three of my attack on Victorian LGAs. I woke later than I expected to a grey, miserable looking day promising scattered showers which I didn't really relish as I was hoping for at least 6 more areas. I was targeting a few Side tracked caches, which probably wasn't a very good idea as it was peak travel time when I started. I mostly had success, but found it quite interesting how much I depend on knowing a cacher and method and types of hides. Of course down here I don't have that knowledge and at times I found it quite difficult to find the supposelying easy caches. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches that add so much to our game. All found caches were signed and replaced where found.
Was in the area today for some school holiday fun in the nearby Escape Room. This was a quick park and grab. Sneaky little spot. I guess there is a bit of $$ around here, across from my car was parked a Lamborghini.
TwoEms love a secret passage, but we love a secret passage with a hidden secret even more. Thank you for the cache.
This cache was lovely! I'd not seen this type in this size before. Came by here on my way home after a quick brekky in hawthorn with mum. Such a beautiful part of town. It's good to finally come across one of SirJ-Oz's caches in the wild. Note that the log is full TFTC
Nice little area and walk through path. Quick spot, signed and replaced. Cheers
Went here with GeocacherDS and found it quickly. I love the way it is hidden! Also good spot as no muggles were around
Out and about today and I decided to check the map to see what was nearby. I find myself with time to kill so I stopped by here for a find. Many thanks to SirJ-Oz for placing and maintaining TAFW#2: No No Through Road. I found it, I signed it, and put it back as found.
On my way to an appointment and had some time to do a bit of geocaching. Was feeling a little nervous seeing that it was near private property, but I quickly figured out where the cache was and was on my way. TFTC
In Victoria on a long weekend from Brisbane. Spent a lovely long weekend in Hepburn Springs for a signature family event. The wife wanted to go to the tennis so I hooked her up with family and off on a caching adventure I went. Today is all about Jasmer cache gaps and getting to the 8000 mark.Made my way to ground zero after safely parking the car.Spied the cache quickly and avoided the muggles to lay hands on the log ready for signing.Replaced it safely and off on the next adventure.A big thanks to the cache owner for placing and maintaining this cache.Cheers
T4TC , been eyeing this for a long time. Finally made it here today in a hot sun. Greetings from Singapore FP for CO
Although I have found all of SirJ-Ozs 18 active caches, I feel compelled to revisit as many as I can and pay my respects. I am calling this a pilgrimage of the Knights Templar in honour of the brave Sir Knight himself.This was my seventeenth re-find. I couldnt remember the hide here, nevertheless I soon spotted it quietly minding its own business - the model of discretion.Just one more cache to find. My pilgrimage will end with an extremely poignant visit to the Best View of the City, which Im hoping to achieve in the coming weeks.RIP SirJ 27 December 2022
super fun but a but tricky as there were some red herrings and red backs! (No actual red backs but there were some spiders ) TFTC
Great little urban shortcut that I'm sure many don't know about.A few cold blooded (but friendly) friends guarding the cache as well.
My first find!!! Loved it - it wasnt too tricky and I had lots of fun signing the log book
idk if i'm just dumb, or it's just because it's my first one, but I couldn't find it. could someone taken it??
Being in an area today that I’m not often in I decided to take the opportunity to find a cache, this one was close by so I drove over and parked close to it.
Luckily found a moment inbetween builders and other general pedestrian traffic to make the find, which was pretty quick once I arrived at GZ. Log signed and replaced and found.
Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.

I decided to search for this historical cache and take a wander down some lanes.
Access from one side seemed a little unlikely, but the second side was free.
Fortunately it didn’t take too long to locate this one.
There is some serious construction going on around here.
Thanks SirJ-Oz for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

It was certainly a No No Through Road today. When I made my initial approach via the shortest route I found access totally blocked due to building works who I made my approach via the longer route. This turned out to be a good idea as there was plenty of parking here just a stones throw from GZ. As I approached I could see something that looked like a likely hiding place for a Sirj-Oz cache and after a short search the cache was in hand. Pleased to have found another cache by Sirj-Oz. Thanks to those keeping this one in play.
Quick find with senior Ogston girl. Tftc

The better half of the team had to come to Kew for eye surgery today, so I had a few hours to kill waiting to retrieve her from hospital. What better way to occupy an hour or two (or four as it ended up being) than go for a bit of a hunt.
When I first approached GZ I thought there might be a bit of an issue reaching it, with all the construction work going on in the street. As it turned out, the construction wasn’t a problem at all, but the stream of dog walkers appearing from around the corner of the lane quickly became annoying. At least there was no need to worry about disturbing the neighbours. The construction workers must have already been doing that as they were none too quiet.
Despite the interruptions it didn’t take too long to find the cache, sign the log and return it to its hiding place, immediately after which another dog led its owner around the corner.
The cache is in good condition.

I was over in Camberwell today for an appointment and afterwards successfully found a cache that I couldn't find on a couple of previous occasions. Encouraged by my success, I decided to to return to this cache for another attempt... and as is often the case when you make a return visit, I found it almost straight away... really hard to understand how I missed it the previous time!
Another clever **SirJ-Oz** cache...

Took me a while to find it. I went after work, no construction workers but coming and going ppl walking their dogs. I looked quite suspicious to them I suppose
Just as well I had a quick find because there was so many workers around Thanks for this one ️
Found with PapaGrouch. While in the area today we went and found this cache. Lots of construction going on all around but access to the cache was still possible. While I was still checking the area that my device placed the cache, PapaGrouch found where it was actually hidden. TFTC
While the rest of iTEEM sought out the cool of a cinema nearby, I headed out in the heat to find some local caches.
The temperature was beginning to decrease by the time I arrived at GZ, my last stop before returning to collect the rest of the team.
Initially I thought I may be stymied by the construction hoardings, but closer inspection reviewed clear access and a likely location.
Sure enough, after a brief search, I had the teeny container in hand, and the log signed.

A trip from Canberra, ACT to Whittlesea, Vic with a few side quests for LGAs. TFTC.
The hardest part was parking. Nice quick find.

I always enjoy exploring lanes and streets capes like these. So wandered about to the GZ to a nicely stashed cache. Thanks Sir J.
