After dropping some people of to the airport, there was enough light left for one cache only and this was it. Luckily, a nice and easy find before the dark completely enveloped the park. Thanks from D & HA B-A

I have had my eye on this a cache for a while, but the buses out this was are infrequent and can be a bit unreliable. I was pleasantly surprised as the bus was on time and did not take too long. The cache was found in the most likely spot, but the log is very wet. I signed my name as best I could.

We found this a few months ago in a place of a burn out
Hope it’s still there after the creek flooded

Was just where I expected it to be despite GPS disagreeing slightly. Quick find yay. Cheers!
 
25-Sep-22
Easy find, lots of muggle people and muggle dogs about! Left a trackable here.
 
28-Aug-22
Probably needs replacing, as it's not a water tight container... The log book is too damp to write in
 
26-Aug-22
Needing to kill 1/2 an hr before heading to the long term airport parking, we picked up a couple of caches in the light rain. Found in this pleasant location after walking through the wet grass.

Thanks opted-out user for the placement.

Today the weather was finally a bit better so we had the scooters out to try and finish off this series today. Well for me anyway, OzHockeyChick still needs some in the fenced off area which was closed. Apart from one DNF I have now finished off the series in this great park.
Plenty of off track finds today and gladly had the off road based scooters as well otherwise we may have well of walked everywhere. Ah, fun times, headed off for a chicken burger before doing this one to regain some energy. Nice quick find once at GZ.
Thanks opted-out user for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
 
24-Jul-22
We stopped here to unload the scooters once again to find two caches nearby.
A quick find here after spiffy- nearly landed on a landmine. Cache back in place and off to the next.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, opted-out user

Staying at Quality Hotel courtesy of Jetstar and their plane issues. With nothing else to do I decided to walk to a few caches.

A short walk in to the bush is no problem for this moorland walker. The container blends in well.

A few quick caches prior to going to the airport tonight to pick up the wife. I planned ahead and brought a torch with me. Found this cache just out in the open at GZ, so I signed it and tucked it in a spot. The local dogs were barking and j wanted to get out of here quick before someone came out to investigate. All done now to wait for that phone call. ️ TFTC

Tftc reeza. Off to Japan today and stayed in nearby motel. Time enough for an early morning jaunt where I hunted three of three on this trail. Have previously jogged up and down on this trail so good to experience it in a different way.

Down this way for a soggy under 15's elimination final match.
Have to get to the ground an hour before so they can *issfart around... but that gave the geodaughter and I a chance to find a couple of caches before the game.
Picked where this one would be as we got closer, and weren't disappointed. Left the kid to traipse through the wet grass and grab the cache... wet feet on an 8 degree days doesn't matter... no really it doesn't. We both went in the creek later anyway! Oops

#3624 Mr BGF had rolled into Attwood for a training course yesterday. Up early this AM to tackle the cold and a few caches in this nice park, albeit with the noisy airport in the background. A few muggles and some rowdy parrots to contend with, it took two swoops of gz under pressure before the well hidden cache was unveiled. TFTC reeza.

Despite working around here a couple of times a month for the last couple of years, I've never quite gotten around to the Willowbrook series. With March being an abysmal month for my 366, I went for two of them today. This one was next to a beautiful grass land, and in the shade of some fantastic gums. On my walk back I saw some (very American) tourists admiring them. Easy enough to find, it had to be THERE! I liked the texture of the camo. Thanks!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was staying in the area for a conference and this afternoon I decided to head out and find a cache or two. Headed to the general area and as I got closer tried to work out the best approach but for it badly wrong. Ended up on one side of the creek with the indicated GZ on the other side. So back across the bridge to the other side and then to GZ. Did a bit of stomping to try to scare off any wiggly sticks. Thankfully nothing. Located the cache, extracted the log, signed and replaced.
