Logs
Stopped at this park for a search before we realising that the cache is possibly in the owners hands and not here. The log in this case should be a temporarily disable which takes it offline until it is replaced.
I walked around and around looking for something that should have been so obvious and logical. Only one muggle wither dog so that was lucky given my bumbling ways. The log is wet but I signed and moved on. TFTC
First geocache i've found. Great place to hide it but Paper was torn and didn't have a pen on me so couldn't write my name down.
Found it gos a bit out so used my common sense, after a few dnf was happy to find this one

Took a while to find, after a close encounter we finally found the cache. Log wet could not sign. Great hide
Very well hidden! Took the kids and almost gave up before finding. Signed, took pacman ghost... Left keychain!
Well done!
Well done!
A little tricky to find but my son literally stumbled over it. We left a little pacman ghost behind. Thanks for the cache!
Find #703
A nice new year's day afternoon and some spare time so decided to head out for an afternoon caching with Geobaby. We hit 6 caches at a leisurely pace for 5 finds and this was the second of those. Great spot to head with the little one who pottered about on the grass nearby. Headed in towards GZ and checked a few obvious spots with no luck. Moved left, moved right, moved back to where I started and soon the cache was in hand. Great camo and a clever little cache for this area. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited a TB. Thanks for the cache hanna4d.

Working near by quick find. Log is damp needs a new bag. Cache was visable. Logged find and hide cache as it was ment to be. After seeing the cache the clue makes sense. Tftc
Went to find this with with SirJ- Oz & muggle boyfriend.
I was the chicken on this occasion! Blame me! The webs, the spiders, the barking dogs.. Late at night it got the best of me. And although I was happy to wander back to the car alone, they were nice enough to come with me. Sorry SirJ-Oz! Another night!
Day! I mean day!

This was so hard. There's been obvious muggle activity around GZ due to rubbish etc. Used someone elses coords to locate. Cache surrounded by slugs and log very wet. Tftc!
DNF @ 23:00-ish with Miss Raven and muggle boyfriend.
We looked for a few minutes, but we were disturbingly close to someone's window, and they were still up and doing things.
Miss Raven was getting freaked out, so we left.
Thanks anyway hanna4d, I'll be back.

Didn't find the cache, but did find a very dead rat thing with it's head bitten off stretched over one of the branches in a nearby tree. You just don't get to see things like that every day. TFTDR
Out caching with Nanton34 today... After some discussion on what a devils tower might actually be and our gps bouncing us around we had some doubts on finding this one... Nanton34 took off in another location to search for it. While i stood my ground when something grabbed my attention through the corner of my eye. Went to investigate and found it! Gave Nanton34 a quick whistle over and the log book was soon signed! TFTC
Took a while to locate this one. After searching GZ without luck i expanded my search only to have Romp62 uncover the hide in the original search area. TFTC
The park was all deserted and after letting the GPS settle a little I spotted something that I was hopeful would be the cache. As it turned out it was, and my name was added to the log book. Thanks hanna4d for the cache.
Initially, I have to sincerely apologise for how long it has taken me to log these caches (logging on 1/1/15). I guess you could say it was a New Years Resolution to finish all of the logs...?
This cache was the 11th find of today.
Another easy hide here. Funny little park in the middle of not much!
Thanks again hanna4d

home from work early quick stop for a cache nice and quit short search and there it is well hidden signed log and off thanks
Couldn't find it today. This was my third DNF for the day (all in the last 4 caches). After failing here, I decided to forget caching for the day and head to Bunnings for some shopping. I hope it's still there. My thanks to hanna4d for placing it.
Patience and thinking outside the square. Put the cache token back in for the next lucky cacher. TFTF.
Out and about and at large with Slink1. We had no plan and no direction other than to get out there and do a bit of caching. We went here and there and it felt like everywhere. TNLN TFTC SL
Out and about today with Dunko no real plans other than to have fun caching really enjoyed the time exploring the locations along the way. Many thanks to hanna4d for the effort in placing the cache
Found without issue SL

A quick find after widening the search area at GZ, didn't understand the clue though? Log book is a bit damp, but still useable.

Arrived at GZ and couldn't find it. On reading the logs I found the cache near-ish to the ones posted on another cachers log. As I was leaving the CO arrived to check on the cache so I showed him what I had found. It wasn't his cache. It seems like a finder had most likely had a DNF and put a throw down cache there. The CO looked for his and found it some metres away from where he'd originally placed it. So I signed THAT log too. The above coordinates are for the actual hide. If anyone wants to find the fake cache the coordinates are S37 58.309 E145 04.722!
The COs original cache is a much better cache than the throw down one. Tftc.

Well I finally found Nancy.
I've been here before, and I'm sure I looked where I found it today, but my previous visit was cut short by an unfortunate event with a dog mess.
Well today I used the coordinates provided by Biggles Bear and found it pretty quickly.
It's to draw a long bow to suggest that the hide looks at all like the hint suggests, but there's nothing anywhere here more like it so be flexible.
The cache is in reasonably good condition, if a trifle damp.
I needed a cache today for my P366 so it was good to find one since it has been raining on and off all day, and was a constant drizzle while I was here. Be careful in the cache vicinity, still dog poos everywhere, It looks like in this park, if they don't go on the grass, it doesn't get picked up.
Thanks for placing this cache hanna4d

Out for another awesome caching adventure with BorisB&Natasha. We decided to have an early start today which paid off as many of the areas we visited were deserted.
It's only now that I'm logging that I noticed the coords posted by another cacher, wish we had noticed that at the time of looking. After much looking I eventually widened my search area and was rewarded with the find.
Thanks for the cache hanna4d.

Out for another fun filled day of caching with Nut bear.
We had the place to ourselves on this very damp day but that didn't make the find any easier. The coords had us searching in totally the wrong place with a very strong aroma of dog poo. Glad we hadn't had lunch yet. Not wanting to give up and with a clue that made no sense to us at all we expanded our search and it was Nut bear who eventually found it.

Found 1:10:00 PM, during a lazy Sunday afternoon of caching
TNLN, thanks hanna4d.
TNLN, thanks hanna4d.
I needed another cache for today's calendar and this was one of the closest to work (10 km away!) so when I arrived I was glad to see no one in the park which made for an easy search.
After a couple minutes and after working out what the hint meant I made the find a few metres away from where my GPS said to be, signed the log and headed on my way. I grabbed some Maccas on the way back to work with another day ticked off the calendar. Only about 80 or so days to go and always a good reason to get out of the office for a break.
Thanks hanna4d for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

DNF. I had a brief look at GZ but then noticed the log that indicated that the coords could be out by as much as 24 metres so immediately moved my search. That was to no avail either and after at least 15 minutes I left without the find.
Some better coords would help a lot!

Found @ 2:48am, find # 3079.
Another Friday night to the early hours of the morning, outing with Biggles1024.
This was really beginning to bug me as I had been passed this one a number of times but didn't even get out of the car due to muggles. One time I did manage to leave the car, but on approach to GZ, a dog walking muggle came in from the opposite direction and decided to take a seat on the ground and was in no hurry to leave, so I did.
So at this time of the day, there was certainly no muggle problems, just the problem of finding the cache.
We searched for while, nothing, read some logs and widened the search area, nothing, checked the hint and had to try and work that out, nothing. We were almost ready to concede defeat, but we decided to have a look on the other side of the park, as we started to have a look around we noticed something that reminded us of the hint, so over we went for a look and there was the cache, only 24 metres away from the indicated GZ on the GPSr.
Thanks to hanna4d for placing this cache.

Find #1023
Out with Stemicmitsar for our usual Friday night/Saturday morning caching run. We targeted caches that had proven troublesome in the recent past either because we couldn't even start looking because of the presence of muggles or because we needed some special equipment.
We visited here a few weeks ago but never got a chance to start searching due to the presence of dog walking muggles one of whom sat down and just watched his dogs play. He wasn't going away anytime soon and so it was back to the car to try another day.
This morning we had the park to ourselves. No surprises there at 2:30am. We searched and searched and found nothing. Resorted to the hint and had to google from our phones to make sense of it. Still nothing. We resorted to reading previous logs and really increased our search radius and still our torches revealed nothing that could be the hide.
The thought of ending this caching run on a DNF was unbearable and so in an act born of either desperation or inspiration with a tonne of experience thrown in for good measure, we started searching on the other side of the park and quickly found something that matched the hint.
It was a relief to have finally found this cache and signed the log but the cache was 24m in a westerly direction from the indicated GZ.
The CO who appears to be using a phone needs to revisit this cache and obtain some accurate co-ords by averaging the co-ords from whatever device he is using.

Returned this morning with fresh eyes after CO provided the hint on the description page and logging a DNF a few days ago. Finally made the find but my phone had me almost 20m away from GZ where I located the cache. Deciphering the hint was key to this find. Thanks for another great hunt hanna4d!

Well it would have been nice to see Nancy, but she was too quick today.
Perhaps I'll catch her eye some other time, and she'll allow me to have my geo way with her.
Thanks anyway hanna4d

Hi All,
Went to check on the cache this morning. It had been moved. I have also added a hint.

Popped out at lunch to collect a cache and this was my closest. Wasn't until I read the recent logs that I think I should have tried for a different one. Add me to the DNFs, after a search in the heat today. Gave up after about 10mins didn't want to look to suspicious here. A little harder than D1.5? Will be back.
@21:53. I was out caching with Burge, Big Blank and Cliffhanger3 tonight. We searched around for a little while but couldn't locate the hide. We didn't want to make too much noise so close to the neighbours at this hour so we decided to leave it and we'll come back again soon.
Spent a lengthy amount of time and didn't get to see Nancy . Will have to try again some other time....
After a short hiatus, Rebel Acts and I decided to take a night time trip down the west side of Port Phillip Bay collecting caches as we went. A good night, with lots of laughs. Thanks to all the CO's for their cache placements. We searched the wrong object, only to find the cache a few metres north of the posted co-ords.
Took a bit of combined hunting and unnecessary tree climbing before we found the ground based hide
On day hunting with Baluke, dropped daughter at baseball and headed out. This one had us running around for a little until we stumbled upon it . Great camo TFTC
We popped over last night after we’d found another close to home. We knew this one had already been claimed but....the Chief had to have a look. We could hear the folk next door enjoying their spa and the neighbours across the way were in their pool so it was decide I would stay in the car. The Chief felt slightly creeped out waving his torch around in the dark so close to the neighbours. He had a cursory look and decided to pull the pin. I stopped on my way back from shopping this afternoon and checked lots of nooks and crannies and could see signs of searching. The neighbour across the road was mowing his nature strip and was watching me at the same time. Since I only had my phone and despite widening my search I couldn’t turn up a cache I thought I’d just have to bring the Chief back later. Besides, it was getting close to pick up and Nano doesn’t like to be left standing in the playground on his own. He’d be even less impressed if he knew why I have been late all those times! As I left I thought may be the neighbour really was watching me as I realised he’d mowed his nature strip but his front lawn is 4ft high! Came back this afternoon in the company of the Chief and while he searched where I’d looked earlier today I widened my search. I thought about a playground conversation I’d had an hour earlier and the cache name. There followed the Aha! moment. I signed the log while the Chief did a waypoint average and we were off. Apparently he needed to see his secretary to sign some paperwork! TFTC Hanna4d’s, love a good adventure! Oh and great construction, love your work!
FTF! Should I go or not? It's getting late, hell why not - it's a Hanna4d cache!
Bad idea, when I get to gz it's pitch black and only mobile phone light to guide me. A quick text and request for a hint from the co and I'm onto it.. finally find it and are just signing the log and three people wonder into the park!? Other cachers? Damn. Start to stroll to car with cache in hand like I'm meant to be there and have to wait till they leave to stumble back in the total darkness and return the cache. All safe now. Thanks Hanna4d!

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, tonight we headed over the westgate and picked up a few caches out that way, the inal cache for the night was a triumph as we finally crossed The Zombie resurection of the list. Thanks hanna4d for the cache.
