Off for an early morning walk to Edward's Point and back. Started the walk at 7.30 am with an expected sunrise of 7.35. As such, I took the beach track first. The sunrise happened later than expected with the very low cloud cover, but when it did show itself, it was a very deep red. Just beautiful. Then it soon vanished behind more clouds before reappearing well later, higher and yellower. Found all the geocaches and was back to the car at 9.45 am. A total time of 2 hours, 15 minutes with 11 finds, and no DNFs. It was great to find a number of ammo cans in the bush, too. Lovely, enjoyable walk and was very peaceful until the sun was well up and other people started the walk.Last cache of this mornings adventure and found this one quickly at 9.45 am.Thanks for the cache, Bushfire.Hunter
Exploring around Swan Bay today and picking up some caches along the way. Found this cache to be all in good condition. Thanks for the hide for me and others to find!
I've been looking at doing this walk for years but never quite managed to fit it in. Today, I found myself with some spare time in the area and seeing it was such a beautiful day decided to head off. I didn't see anyone along the path the whole time other than a couple of fishing boats as I neared the point. There were hardly any footprints even once I got out onto the sand. Such a beautiful place and I really enjoyed the quietness of the area with only just the birds for company. I'm glad I've finally managed to get out here after all this time. This was a reasonably quick find at gz before I kept on my way. Thanks for the cache.
First of our Father’s Day finds. Found relatively quickly at the specified coordinates on a beautiful Spring day. Thanks Bushfire!
Father's Day family adventure #1:
Given the choice of locations for today's family adventure, I quickly angled for this amazing stretch of land. Visited once many years, it's worth a rerun -- especially when there is a whole host of revealed caches that need discovering!
(It's only the very special days that I can claim enough patience from the geokids to bag 10+ finds in one go!)
First on the agenda, this was a quick and easy find.

Have been eyeing off doing this walk for some time and finally have had the chance to do it today. It's a very nice walk and thanks for placing a cache out this way
Tftc bushfire. In the little hamlet of St Leonards for a couple of nights with friends. A cool but sunny winter's day: great for a short 3.5 km stroll hunting for 5 caches. Found 4, including this.
A nice day to head down to the Bellarine Peninsula. I have my trusty Geotuscon for now. I picked up a couple in Bamganie Forest on the way down an it is now time to take the trip out to Edwards Point in the beautiful Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park (Ramsar Convention listed) area that is Swan Bay. Out with Dromaniax on a maintenance run as CO on behalf of Bushfire.
In case you wonder where all the mosquitos go during winter, it is here, they were thick and constant.
All the caches were found and maintained/replaced/added as we worked our way towards Edwards Point. The area was fascinating as you could see the land area getting smaller that may end up cutting through and making Edwards Point an Island.
Thanks for placing this traditional cache in such a lovely area Bushfire

Making the most of a bit of a weekend away for our wedding anniversary to pick up a couple of caches. This was a nice easy find on a lovely track where everyone says good morning when they pass.
Only did a short stroll to this one today, didn't bring a pen to sign today unfortunately. Thank you!
My very dear friend Dromaniax who lives close by went for look at all these caches on Edwards Point early this morning and replaced the Log, placing it in a new ziplock with dessicant. Removed any rubbish that some folk decide to leave in caches.
Big thanks to him so all good for a while.

Quick find, lovely area. Log quite wet, plastic bag that it's in is ripped and may need replacing. TFTC.
*Found on the 1 Nov 2021 @ 12:56 pm.*
*Cache find # 11921.*
Today I headed over to Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula with biggles1024 & buhfuhguh for a bit of caching fun and adventure.
I had been wanting to take a stroll along this trail to Edwards Point for some time now but it had never seemed like the right time when I had been over this way previously as we always had other plans but today we were able to make time to take the walk, it was certainly a great day for it.
Once we were at GZ, it was long before the cache was found, log signed and we were on our way to the next.

I headed out with Steve and Michael to the Bellarine Peninsula to target some of Victoria's 500 oldest caches and a few other caches of interest.
The weather was perfect all day and we covered quite a bit of ground on foot and driving. Some progress was made on a long term Wherigo too.

Out caching this lovely sunny day out cleaning up the Geeling area a bit with Biggles and Stemicmitsar. Searching for the usual hit caches and other odds and ends along the way
Thanks for the cache and being part of a good day out today.

My good friends Ski Pair were heading down to Geelong for a few days and invited Me to join them, who could resist being chauffeured around and the company and laughs are always good. We had a great time touring the area discovering new locations while finding caches, We even managed dinner with Suscoe and Busfire.
This is one of the caches we found for the week.

The name of this cache was nearly enough to put us off looking. A micro in the bush is not really one of our favourites!
Spotted very quickly by Mrs SKI however.
Off on another day caching around the Bellarine Peninsula with our good mate Rebel Acts.
A mixture of trails and other caches. The trails here are a bit of a treat as rather than the preform tubes or similar containers we have generally experienced in the past, most containers are of good size and often are a bit of a feature of the theme in the cache name.
We were racing the weather a bit trying to get in as much as possible before rain set in, but still had to battle showers. Lucky we were prepared.
All in all, another great day caching.

The second day in lockdown and only allowed out to exercise. We have been eyeing off the caches out to Edwards Point for a while, checked to see if they were in our 5km radius and they were, so off we went. It was reasonably cool today, and the breeze was light making it perfect weather for a long walk. Even with the breeze, there were a few of the industrial size mosquitos out to play so. At this cache, we liberally applied insect repellant. Neat little cache nicely hidden, duly signed and returned. Thank you, Bushfire for this cache.
Had a second look on the way back from walk & found it. GPS was working this time. One earlier clue had thrown us off the scent. Very sneaky!
Quick find on a beautiful day.TFTC Hoodedhooligans (H.H.) 26 December 2020 7:54 pm #399
The final find on my first cache run in some time - looking forward to reuniting with my old caching buddies soon too! Tftc
Found while out for a walk with friends, we only went half way down and walked back along the beach. Nice to see a cache that has been around for so long. TFTC
We were staying at our friends place in Portarlington and he suggested we go for a walk so that lead us to this area. As we walked I checked out what caches were about and was only 25m from this cache. I spotted where it was then gave them hints on where it was, so we all had a bit of fun. TFTC
Found it - out and about after shocking heat yesterday. Quite a few muggles about on this fine morning. Tftc!
Left home early this morning to beat the heat. Arrived at the parking spot only to find I'd left my GPS and scribble stick at home.
Oh well let's hope there are pens and the trusty iPhone is accurate enough
Found the cache easily thank goodness.

We stopped at the parking spot for our lunch with the full intention of walking to Edwards Point cache. We got as far as this one and changed our minds as it was far to hot, these caches have been here awhile so we are certain that they will be here for a cooler day.

Managed to find this when I focused on the micro part, as there aren't too many places to put a micro and have people find it!
On a visit to my parents in law we went for a walk and found a few caches. My kids used to stay at their grandparents on bluff rd every holidays while my husband and I worked. They used to ride along this track all the time. lots of mozzies bring your bushmans. TFTC
Had to get out to get the mystery caches and this one was on the way. Much easier than I thought it was going to be.
Caching through this area, it was nice to give the phone to the kids and allow them to lead us down this track. Never been to this arm of the Peninsula before so we were feeling grateful for the chance to explore.
Cache found with no issue. Signed and replaced.

With 3 million geocaches on the planet, we've chosen yours to find. You should be thanking us!

Nice bike ride out on the track with the family and decided to do a geocashe this was a nice quick one not to high for a 10 year old
Had to give this one a miss on the way out to Edwards Point as i wanted to make that particular cache my #2000 milestone cache and this one would have put the count out by one!
And this little fellow gave me my money's worth, wasn't as easy to find as the other ones, took a few minutes but eventually it revealed itself. Thx again for this great series of caches Bushfire, thoroughly enjoyed myself out here today!

Set out on a lovely stroll after a great swim nearby. Many thanks for the cache Bushfire
Set off on the walk to Two Bay Lookout at about 10:30am. Weather cooler than expected & wind had little strength to it. A perfect day for a walk & of course some hunting. Found this one on the return trip as we bypassed it earlier on.
Thanks to the long weekend back home, I was able to pop over the ditch for the mega and a ‘few’ caches along the way! I was really after the numbers on this trip, planning to achieve 50+ each of the three days for a challenge – something that is getting much more difficult back home! The weather was great and I had a ball thanks to all the CO’s placing great caches!
Today’s aim was to find some more along power trails and trailets, and a few interesting others. I am so grateful for the variety in the trails! And what a nice place to go for a walk in the afternoon! TFTC!!

With a Saturday free for a change I was keen to get out and find a cache or three but didn't want to go too far afield. So after studying the map for a little bit I finally decided on a walk out to Edward's point with the weather being nice. A message to Neville_devil and of course he was in. Knowing Ausfox; had already done these I didn't expect he was keen on coming but there was a couple of caches on the trail that had appeared since he was here last so he was in too .
After parking the car we set of along the trail with the sun showing itself and it was quite pleasant. It wasn't long before we were at GZ and the hunt was one with Neville finding this one pretty quickly.
Thank you Bushfire for the hide and getting me out for the day

Find #3695. Found @ 12:21 with The Good Lady Wife.
We're in Portarlington on a getaway, and getting in some caching is a part of that plan. Today's plan was walking out to Edwards Point, lunch in Queenscliff, and knocking off some more of the D2B trail.
The last in the series, and TGLW was more than ready for the walk to be over. We'd both completed our daily steps, and she didn't want to walk any further. I was almost led astray by the suspected geotrail, but decided to check something out and was rewarded with the cache container.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Normally cringe when we see micro in the bush, but this one didn't give us any trouble. Thanks for the cache.

Caching around the Bellarine today, prior to attending the Bushfire Big Birthday Bash.
This was the first one on our walk out to Edwards Point.
It was the smallest one we found all day, but a quick spotting by Pam made it an easy find.
The log was in condition and the hiding place pretty secure.
