Quick find tonight on the way to a meeting. Lots of energy here with tennis under lights! Many thanks for the cache.
I knew I had a free day to cache coming up so started solving puzzles in the bay area ready for a frestyle assult. Today was time to collect them and I decided a bike adventure may be the easiest way for the majority. My endurance levels and enthusiasm don't align though and I spent most of ride thinking of were I could buy another drink and food. All up 43km ridden and 43 caches collected with 30 plus on the bike.
With a tennis lesson in full swing I quickly had the cache found and signed. Thanks to Earthbound Chief for placing this cache.

What a lovely weather today.. Good to get out of the house (housework can wait for other day) rather go out for caching.
Accompanied with kangas11
first we stopped for lunch at KFC
Quickly found with good condition
Thanks Earthbound Chief

Finally the weather was nice and escaped from home to catch up the caches for the day. Accompanied with crank1 at KFC for lunch then came down here and found it nicely. Thanks Earthbound Chief for the cache.
Catching up with Happy pants and omegaman1971 to attend a nearby event and then to have a day out caching. Another nice find made here.
Thanks again Earthbound Chief for placing the cache for us to find.

Decided to do a spot of caching after work today. So a quick call to n0w0rries, and we were soon on our way. TFTC

Found with omegaman1971 this morning while caching in the area, what an interesting read if not a sad tale in the end. Found the cache but not the gold. TFTC Earthbound Chief.

Out and about with Happy Pants smashing some caches on this great Melbourne Sunday.
Cheers for the cache

Not the most snazzy of caches I've seen, but I've seen worse than these glorious tins. This does look a bit like trash but then again many caches can look like that. Perhaps the camo is missing? The small size listing is questionable as it seems to me it would be an extra small.
Anyway, thanks Earthbound Chief.

Found after a short search. Camouflage is missing and found just lying out in the open, it looks like trash.

Found ages back with 4bait, nice cool hide on the way back from a work with dad. Tftc
On our way to the movies at Southland stopped and looked for this one. It took for far longer than it should have, but got there in the end. TFTC.
After a very enjoyable meander through the bike path connecting the nearby Vulture's Playground with this cache or in muggle language connecting Imes Street with Second Street (why aren't there caches along this path? Hmmm, I sense a placement or two coming on) I was hoping for a quick find given my experience with #1 in this series.
Alas it wasn't to be. This took a LOT longer to find then it should have despite some of the natural camo having come off. Although the co-ords were spot on I still couldn't resist the temptation to wander around to other similar structures when I met with no success.
Eventually, before leaving and resigning myself to log a DNF I thought I'd have one more thorough look and....came up with the goods.
Thanks for this placement and the reason for the enjoyable wander. I wish all bike paths were this wide and well constructed! I think I'll be visiting the area in the near future to lure more cachers to that specific area.

Out and about with noah_sandon_parky & ethanpb10 for a wet cache hunt.
Thanks for this little well hidden gem

It took a while for my GPS to settle down with this one. A neighbour came out and looked at me suspiciously. After a few minute searching in obvious places the natural camo was spotted. Log signed and cache replaced TFTC
Ha ha nice find. Gps was out at first and I put my hand in where I thought it was. Felt a nano container which felt hard but sticky and slimy pulled it out and it turned out to be a snail I just squashed in my fingers. Gave him a quick funeral and said a few choice words and continued the hunt. It turns out i actually parked a meter from it. Nice find with geo daughter but cache needs new camo as its worn off either that or the fat juicy snails ate it TFTC
Gone cashing with jeodad and jeocousins. The compass was very annoying but finally found it!
A nice quick find on this lovely warm Melbourne evening. Left a trackable, there was just enough room for it to safely nestle. TFTC

I was up at the crack of dawn today to make my way over to this side of the bay to grab a few caches and complete the Geo Yak series. I had a great day out even with the ordinary weather. I was lucky with no wind after a windy day was forecast. A little rain around early in the morning. This one was a quick find for me today. Stamped and returned as found.
[blue]Thanks for this trad cache, Earthbound Chief [^]
Log and container in good condition.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing [/blue]

I remember it raining quite heavily the instant I got to this cache. Luckily it announced its whereabouts quite swiftly. I do hope I didn't moisten the log to any great extent. Thanks Earthbound Chief!
I didn't quite find the stash of gold today, but I struck it lucky with the next best thing...a cache. TFTC Earthbound Chief.
Geowife gets to take all the credit for this find. It's was dark, cold and raining but soon enought the cache was in hand. SL tftc
Found the loot! An easy find in a location close to home that I hadn't got to yet. No tennis muggles either. Tftf
Early morning find on a trip down from Brisbane

Found during a quiet moment at work today.
I waited until the tennis muggles were too busy to notice me and was soon signing the log.
Took: 0, Left:0, Visited some TBs.
Thanks for the gold EbC.

Sadly this cache just looks like a piece of litter now as most of the camo has been worn away. Thanks for the cache.
We found this cache today at 4:00pm as number 13 of 17 on our Mulgrave to Mordi Afternoon. After a bite to eat across the road, we crossed the highway for this one. Very brazen and almost out of camouflage. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
Quick cache find thanks to a random discovery by bozo2's son. Easy quick and simple. Might need some refreshing of the camouflage.

Not as big as you expect (probably counts as a micro), but a sweet hide. Thanks!
On the way to a meeting in town and worked out that we had 5 mins up our sleeve. Set the clock going and pleased to say it was needed. A very quick find and we were back on our way. TFTC
I dropped in here this afternoon on the way back from an apt further south. Parking was right next to the cache. No snails today, probably too hot.
The camo is wearing a bit thin but I covered it up as best I could.
Thanks Earthbound Chief

Find #1537. Found @ 21:45
I had been out for a cub swimming carnival close by, but my little cub was home sick. Oh well, since I was out and about anyway, I might as well find a cache or three. This was the third (and last).
I was able to park really close to GZ, but there were many cars across the road. Even though there was no muggle activities, I still felt a little exposed.
It turns out I need not have worried as I had the container in hand a few seconds later. It appears some of the camouflage has pealed away, or perhaps removed by overzealous snails doing snail type things to the container. There were two attached when I grabbed it, but I carefully removed them while I gained access.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Each time I have driven along the highway, it has always been in the back of my mind that there is a cache just off here.
Today was the day to stop in and have a try. The needle led me right to where I needed to be, and after removing the odd snail that had decided to protect the cache, I was soon adding my name to the log.

Nice easy one. Parked right next to it. Couldn't find the first in the series. Tftc
Nice to find a new cache close to home. Clever camo and quick find. I had no idea gold had been found in the Mordialloc region and the story was an interesting read. I took nothing but left a $100 note.

We needed a cache today, so we found this one while we were in the area. Nice quick find with good camo. TFTC
Quick find tonight, albeit 2nd time around ! Council did a major clean up since my previous, unsuccessful search, so stood out a bit, despite the great camo. TFTC Chief
Earlier today I was looking around for the cache and picked it up without realising what it was, then I went again today and found it. Sooooo happy
Awesome camo-may need to revisit Gold 1 now!! Was very out in the open however. SLTNLN TFTC
The second last day I needed a cache for my P366 calendar day before a 2 month break anyway. So I headed out on a work lunch break and got to a deserted GZ and thought I would have an easy find. After looking everywhere in the tree and on the ground at GZ I couldn't find anything then glancing around I spotted the cache about 10 metres away in the middle of the grass.
It still has the cool camo on it and is in perfect condition with everything intact so I returned it to where I think it should be based on my GPS reading, signed the log and headed on my way. Not sure what the last finder found because their name wasn't on the log book.
Thanks Earthbound Chief for the cache, the hunt and the fun. Only 1 more left in the series once the fence goes away.

This was to be our 10th for the day but alas not to be, the GPS was all over the place and we looked in all the likely places with no luck even using the hint. Thanks Earthbound Chief for all the other caches in the area and still some to do.
the night tennis players certainly know how to have a good time on a Monday night! we got to have a dance while signing the log. nice and easy. (there is no 10 yr Anniversary TB in cache)
We had a bit of a dance to the music that was pumping from the evening tennis training. The cache was a nice quick find.
It was Anzac Day and lovely sunny weather. This was good for caching, but the muggles were out in force, and a few caches had to be left because of it. Like the previous cache, this also was a nice quick find.
Thanks to Earthbound Chief for the cache.

Found 2:47:00 PM, whilst out on a lazy Friday afternoon cache run.
TNLN, thanks Earthbound Chief.

Quick drive by on the way home from work, actually I spotted this one some weeks back but there were too many Muggles in the area and I didn't want to risk picking it up, tonight there was nobody around so signed the log! TFTC!
Quickly made our way over to the cache site for the third find of the series. GPS was all over the place, but managed to quickly locate the cache. TFTC
