Yep. With four boys looking, Im feeling the cache has been muggled.

No luck today

Pretty certain its definitely not here

I think that this is definitely MIA judging by the condition I found some others nearby this morning. Pretty open area that should be easy to locate.

Looked about for quite awhile while but alas it eluded me as the clouds start looking meaning gave up to return another day

Had a bit of a look but couldn't find it

Had a decent look but couldn't spot this one today

On the 9th December 2013 I placed this guy, gee that seems a long time ago but a lot has happened in my life since then.This cache along with over a hundred and fifty others have been adopted out to other folk who I hope are happy to look after these guys as the ageing Bushfire has developed a health problem that will only get worse so a big thanks to all these great friends.Finally, I must thank my good friend Neville_devil for looking after this guy as it has got to the stage when I must pass it on and wish it good luck for the future. I know it is in good hands.And lastly, I will give it another favourite because I can now. Thanks for all the great logs that have been placed over many years.

Found this one whilst going to the nearby pool for a swim after work. Happy leap day!

Tftc

Easy find tftc

In Geelong to attend a few events today. Grabbing a few caches in between, even though it is a cool day.A quick find at GZ.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

An easy find, since I was in a car with Nini and not on my bike we decided to grab a couple more caches on our journey.This one stood out very easily, and was quickly signed before heading offThank you for the cachePika & Nini 10/10/23

Finally got a find today TFTC

Nice easy find to stay the day

This is back in place again and ready to be found. Sorry for the delays

No go today…

No luck here today, unfortunately.

Unfortunately after a good search of the area, this one eluded me.

Thank anyway Bushfire

Dnf may be muggled

No go today

Out on a caching day and trying to knock off a bit more of the rail trail. I managed to get 13 out of the 15 i was chasing, a bit of a gloomy day but the rain did hold off. Last one before I turn around and head back the other way.

This one proved to be a bit tricky with the trees interfering with my cords. Soon had it in hand and log signed.

Found on my Rail Trail bike ride from Moolap Station Rd to Fynan Rd. All up, 17 finds in about 2.5hr; an easy ride with my uncle’s bike on a day of great temperatures. It’s a beautiful ride; I’m glad I did more of the trail today. Quick find at GZ. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Out and about today starting my assault on getting circa 340 finds across summer in order to qualify for a challenge cache I signed years back. Between conducting maintenance and researching some potential new hides I managed to get through and knock off a lot of caches in the starting section of G2Q. In total I managed 15 odd finds for the day. Thanks to all CO’s for their placements.

After heading West from the Geovehicle and returning I decided to set off to the East and claim a couple more smileys. 2 DNF’s and no luck for me here today either, even with info from PAF.i had been chatting to CO throughout the morning so offered to replace it as I had a container that was suitably sized (from reading previous logs + PAF) so it was placed at where my GPS settled after a few walk by’s to confirm accuracy.

As we are taught as kids undertaking fire safety, get down low and go go go will help here.

unable to spot container. these types of caches are my least favourite-- not a fan of bashing through bushes

Escaped us today

TFTC!

Found this one pretty quickly. Nice hide!

G2Q TOWER was transferred from Bushfire to user Donutholes

A day's outing while staying at Bellbrae with Bogonghazy had us travel into Geelong where we jumped on the bikes to do a few of the rail trail series and finishing the day in Queenscliff.
This was another clever hide, thanks again Bushfire

Found it with Silence49 and Cranky1 and DeafVW

Found it with lance51 crank1 and deafvw

A great day of finds with crank1, silence49 and Lance51

Accompanied with silence49, lance51 and DeafVW. We hire the e bike for G2Q Rail trail for the day. We had a great time finding your cache Bushfire, thank you so much for placing it.

*15 Jan 2022, Found @12:09 pm, Find # 3688.*

With so many others heading to Wangaratta mazza-g and I decided to play it safe and head here instead. A nice quick find on the trail.

**Thanks to Bushfire for placing this cache.**

Came to Geelong with Jascat and our bikes to ride along the trail seeking caches along the way. TFTC

I put a usb in it

Found! TFTC

A brisk early morning walk revealed an easy find. Tftc

Quick find. When returning in place, gave this lil guys camo a bit of extra love. Found with KylieLouise

Found today while having a wander along the rail trail . Many thanks for the cache.

At last we thought the weather was predictable enough to get out on the rail trail and chase some caches there. It was cool and overcast and quite windy, but few or no showers were forecast.
It was a tough day all the same. We always seemed to be going uphill when the wind was strongest, and some of the hides were truly challenging. There was the clever ones that truly had us thinking and then micros in the bush as well as some hidden in the undergrowth. There were of course others that were straightforward.
We began the day with 2 DNFs which did not auger well, one a D4 which simply did us in and the other we are maybe just blind.
All in all though it was quite an enjoyable day on the bikes and productive cache wise.

TFTC

Nice easy find to start the day thanks for a great hide Bushfire TFTC!

New TB on board for the find...

We decided to head to Leopold to walk some of the Bellarine Rail Trail we haven't walked before. There are two options for walking along this section of the Bellarine Rail Trail, and we were on the path less travelled, which made this cache an easier find; it also meant that there was far less chance of muggles observing what we were doing. We found the cache, grabbed the TB and signed the lo before returning the cache to its well-camouflaged hiding spot. The cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache Bushfire

Nice hike back and the cache was in very good shape. TFTC

Yea we found it although we didn’t hang around with quick because I was busting to go to the toilet what do you do with the dog tag thing wasn’t sure so I left it because I’m a beginner and I need to toilet real bad the great Hide

Easy find

Found it

Nice easy find

TFTC

Maybe the tower was throwing off my GPS. Wandering a bit but got it ok

Out for the day with BackPAQer and Monch's Mob, another quick find along the trail. Left a TB, thanks for the cache

G2q tower. Out for a Sunday bike ride while visiting the Cadel Evan's cycling road race. What better way to fill in the time waiting for the race to go by. Enjoyed finding these and using the rail trail. Some easy, some not so. If it was more than 10 minutes or muggle city I moved on.... more for next time. Thanks for the caches and cheers.

Found it when staying at Leopold, on a trip along the Rail Trail, during my motorcycle holiday in Australia. But today I preferred the bicycle.

Nice and easy

The last day of caching in the Geelong area before trudging back to Melbourne. I had been meaning to start this trail from the start however I decided that I would do a small section today.

A quick find. TNLN. TFTC.

TFTC!

Pleased to say that we actually found this one, not realising we were so close, whilst attending a nearby CITO. Thanks for the cache.

I was on the trail but not really on the trail.

Today was all about the CITO and other events.

The cache was a pretty quick find.

I signed and was soon on my way.

TFTC

In Geelong for some Christmas fun so whilst attending the CITO I also decided a quick cache or two was necessary! Many thanks for the cache.

Down in the Geelong Area for the various events and some caches in between. I arrived at the afternoon CITO early, before even the CO had arrived, so I quickly headed to this cache for a quick grab before the work began.



My thanks for the cache, Bushfire.

A short stroll to this cache after the local CITO and we made a quick find. This area was nice and clean hopefully in can stay that way for a time to come

TFTC

CJJAHC

TFTC. We wandered down to this one prior to cleaning up further up the track. A nice quick find along the trail.

Down this way for the annual Christmas events and after event No 4 which was CITO No 2 GemmaSistema talked me into continuing along the path to find this one after the CITO.
Met a few other teams along the path and we soon added our names to the log.

Thanks Bushfire TFTC.

A quick and easy find on a beautiful afternoon walk around the area.

Since the day we had booked the air tickets for our current geocaching holiday to Australia we had been looking forward to hiking and geocaching the Bellarine Rail Trail. We had arrived in the area two nights ago and so yesterday morning we had parked up in Drysdale and hiked to Queenscliffe then taken a taxi back to Drysdale at the end of the day. Today we once again left our hired cache-mobile in Drysdale and then took a taxi to Geelong - we then hiked back to Drysdale to complete the trail. Once again we throughly enjoyed the hike in some truly lovely Australian weather and of course we also found many geocaches, and so many thanks to the COs for having provided us with the opportunity to have enjoyed yet another great day out geocaching! This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Easy find after a short hunt around.

Nice little find.
Thanks for the cache.

It took a bit, but eventually had it! TFTH SL

Quick find on a walk along the trail

TFTC

Wohoo first rail trail one

We found it !! Nice spot.

Left work early today unexpectedly and decided to make the most of this beautiful summery day. Caching it is! A quick find at GZ. The stroll continues. Tftc bushfire

Quick and easy. A great finish to s great day.

Thanks for the cache

This log is to tidy up a mess I made with GSAK . I forgot to apply the template so my finds were published with a nonsensical log.

Rather than try and edit all the logs I post this not with what the log should have been.

My apologies for the confusion caused.




A few days away with Freddo, e.gregory1 and The White Dog Gang.

Fun was had by all. Not too many dnfs

Most logs signed as FETT.

Thanks for all the caches.

Claiming a find as a beta tester.

Too much glitter for my liking.

Found whilst cycling the beautiful Geelong to Queenscliff bike trail with Freddo, Team Waldron and e.gregory1 - we've signed as F.E.T.T.
A hot day but great scenery and good co-ords made for an enjoyable ride
TFTC Bushfire

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked.

Found on a short, post-Christmas sojourn to Victoria with Freddo, Team Waldron and thewhitedoggang that involved plenty of driving, cycling, walking and even some boating and wading.

The weather was on our side (albeit a little warm at times), which made for some great caching. There were plenty of varied finds, with some excellent and often tricky hides and and just a few DNFs. We signed most logbooks ‘F.E.T.T.’

Thanks Bushfire for the cache.

Found within a minute! Happy days! TFTC!

We are spending a few days on the Bellarine peninsular before the Christmas crowd arrives and today are riding the trail from Drysdale to Geelong and back so I have the opportunity to grab a few caches on the way and back. Thanks suscoe for a string of caches along a lovely trail. This is the most westerly cache I downloaded so I have finished my caching for the day.
I still have lots of caches to find on the Bellarine next time we spend some time here.

Down in the area for the Christmas Event that was held down at Barwon Heads so decided to call in and check on this guy on the way back to Geelong only to find that all was good with this cache.

I was out and about caching for the Annual Christmas Event and we decided to do some of the G2Q rail trail. I have been wanting to do H2O for a long time so today was the day to do it. Bushfire and I had our bikes so we brought those down to ride the rail trail. When we got out of the car there was massive winds, so we had to put on our jackets before heading off along the trail. Anyway it was a fun little ride. Thanks for the putting the trail out for us all to enjoy

Greytiger and I got this one and cache is in good condition. TFTC.

Two from two, so far so good although I know how amaali and I did for the day. t this time we are going great guns. Thank you.
Greytiger

Decided to do some of this series today - At last we found our first cache for the day - good hiding spot.

LeeLee had the day to herself so she decided to grab the bike and make a start on G2Q trail.
A fresh morning but perfect for a ride.
TFTC - left swap

Nice easy one with the kids. TFTC

This was a another surprisingly easy find - the GPS was right on the money this time!

Part of my caching afternoon with BigGirlsBlouse.

Out for a bit of a caching walk along the Rail Trail with GeoLibrarian54 today and it was good to get a nice, easy find.

Out for a walk with destinyruler and the geo kids. Found logged and returned TFTC
