A nice quick find on the way to the Mernda Bunnings BBQ today. Too cold for muggles to be out here this morning, only crazy geocachers. TFTC smrff78
I found this cache today on my Mega Geocaching Walk #6 - A 35,000 step walk from Hawkstowe Station throughout South Morang and finishing at Middle Gorge Station. I used the opportunity of passing here to pick up a sandwich and a drink for later in the day. I agree with two out of three of the words in the hint. Thanks from D B-A
Had no problem here - thankfully parked in the street opposite and the delivery truck could get through.
Thanks for the cache smrff78

*Found on the 30 Jul 2023 @ 2:32 pm.*
*Cache find # 14877.*
After the CITO event that was on earlier today, I then moved down to this area which I have been too a couple of times before but still haven't finished as I am still needing more finds in the Whittlesea LGA.
This one was visited and found without any trouble.
**Thanks to Smrff78 for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

Second time lucky for me today. Great hide. Now I know Smurfs are small but it wasn’t very high for me. TFTC
Struggled to find it the second time around. Not posting a DNF because I’m determined to get this one
Found it here years ago…
Tried to find it again for the kids and it seems to have disappeared

After a few needles on my list attempt, this was a much easier find here today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.

Quick find here. Thanks for the fun.
November 2022. Time for the second Victorian Mega of the year. This time in Whittlesea. What is it with W's? Time for another epic road trip. Who will join our merry crew? We traveled from South Australia and camped in the pig pen. It rained. It blew. It was sunny. It was not sunny. All four seasons. Beautiful location and some awesome caches.
Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

A nice find in the suburbs today, cache found and is all good
This weekend was mega weekend and we headed over with Freddo, team Waldron, e.gregory1 and Davidwazza as part of our team called: ‘Aussies on Tour’, the log books were either signed with the name, AOT or our individual caching names.
A great weekend away and a very well organised mega despite the horrible weather thrown at us we still managed to find quite a few caches

Found while in the area to attend the Mega Event at Whittlesea.
Today I joined up with Team Waldron, Freddo, gridge98 and Davidwazza as we made our way to Whittlesea and targeted caches of interest. All caches were signed or stamped A.O.T.
Thanks smrff78 for the cache.

This weekend, it was a flight and trip down to Melbourne to attend The Whittlesea 2022 Mega Event. I arrived on Thursday evening and had accommodation in Mill Park, which was a good strategic location between Whittlesea and Melbourne. I joined a few South Aussie friends as part of the “Aussies on Tour” (AOT) team, which consisted of e.gregory1, Freddo, gridge98, and Team Waldron.
Several geocaching series were completed, which included the Commonwealth Star Series (CSS), Whittlesea Puzzles for Beginners, Whittlesea Event Gadget Trail (WEGT), Whittlesea Challenge Wander (WCW), and the Whittlesea Compass (TWC). In addition, we targeted uncommon cache types, rare/unique D-T combinations, older caches and those with high Favourite Points. It was great to have visited Victoria's two 2000 hidden geocaches too (Victoria's 1st (Melbourne's 1st) and Devil Bend).
We were treated with great weather for the first couple of days, but then it deteriorated from Saturday afternoon with rain storms and high winds overnight and on Sunday.
We took a stop at this location, and it wasn't long before we made this cache find. I was initially searching the other side of the drive initially in the obvious area, as that was where the coordinates wanted me, but after that yielded trumps, I expanded my look. It was still a good spot for a cache hide nevertheless, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. The logbook was stamped with our "Aussies on Tour" stamp / noted as AOT to save logbook space. Thanks smrff78 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After a couple of days full of fun, caching in and around Whittlesea, with Suscoe, it was time to head homeward. This is one of the caches we couldn't resist adding to our collection before the Mega crowds are out and about in November.
**FEEDBACK TO CO:** Think the Hint needs changing -certainly not *"Top, left .. magnetic"*
Thanks to Smrff78 for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

Thanks for the cache smrff78.
found but when i took it off the magnet fell off. needs to be glued back on ASAP. TFTC.
Disabled until I can get a new cache in play !! .. Last finder accidentally broke cache !! LOL !!
Cache is a little lower now but will be back in it's original hidie spot Monday when I get to replacing the original .. Sorry for the inconvenience
This could stay here a long time. Nice to feel unwatched in the driveway too! Thanks!
I got lucky with this one a put my hand straight on it. Fortunately there was no one around as t s could be a very busy area.
Done. Bit of a tricky find, but very well hidden. Won't get muggled. Would recommend doing it at night or when store not busy to avoid detection
Was about to give up as we attempted this during the day, then had a sudden burst of inspiration and bang had the cache in hand. Definitely recommend doing this one under the veil of darkness. TFTC!
Checked on cache before starting work this morning & it's still in it's hiding spot !!
