Good spot

Too dark to find

Grub62 and I found this cache alot more difficult than the difficulty level suggested. To be fair we were searching by torch light and the drizzle had become rain. Eventually we found a good sized cache but the terrain seemed a bit off. but no matter all good in the end. NTNL. TFTC.

It was starting to drizzle while Bunadoorian and I searched for this one. This one was well hidden but we feel it was two terrain when we finally found it. Again our phone's GPS wouldn't settle which made the find a bit more awkward in torch light. The walk back to the car was in steady but light rain. TFTC gc8

My final gemstone for the mystery at the museum challenge. Tftc.

Bring a new pen!

Easy find well done.

Yes

We found this one previously but on another account. Had to go back with this account and find it again to write in the log. TFTH

Checked in what I thought was every possible hiding spot, but then guess not as couldn't find this one.

Many many red herrings ....always a good challenge when that happens. Found with a bit of persistence. This trail has been more challenging toward the end here . Tftc

Plenty of potential hiding places here, and the gps wandered. Got help from reading the logs. Beautiful views along this trail - would like to come back here for a bike ride. Thanks gc8

Not an easy find, but our geo dog pulled us in the right direction! TFTC

The GPS took a while to settle for us on this one, but once it did we found it reasonably quickly - with enthusiastic assistance from the dog who was sniffing out rabbit trails.
Great hide and fun swaps, TFTC!
Caching as team AireDance with Marion133

New Year's Day bike ride and just finished riding up the big hill. I arrived for another search. As soon as I started the search welcome to the jungle started booming over the speakers at nearby Mickys Fitness. I found this cache much easier this time, it wasn't here last time. Found just in time for the song to finish. Thanks for this cache gc8, this was the first cache I ever searched for.

Staying in Eltham for few wks.
Great hide

A tough hunt. Get ready to get in some bushes.

It took us a couple of minutes, no ants around when we found well hidden. TFTC

A quick find tonight on the way home from king lake. Decided to stop off to cover my Sunday cache requirement. Easy find good condition

Thanks gc8 for the cache.
Found at 2:03 am on 14/10/18.

*14 Oct 2018, Found @2:01 am, Find # 2139.*

Heading home after an amazing night hike in Kinglake National Park. This was a good one to fill the spot on the calendar. A short walk and a quick find.

**Thanks to gc8 for placing this cache.**

Nice little walk on a stunning Spring afternoon. Took a few minutes to find but once the GPS settled it was an easy find. TFTC

Good hiding spot!

Great find!

Thanks to the previous activity we eventually found it! Good one!

Cheers

On earth

Trees playing havoc with phone GPS but tracked this one down.

Found on a lovely day strolling with swampgum and our youngest. TFTC

Now that was frustrating. And particularly following another DNF. Dad persisted and eventually discovered the cache beside a smaller tree. Tftc

Eventually found this one . GPS was quite erratic which hampered our search . thanks gc8

This one took us a while to find, but with a bit of poking around with my stick, we found it. Thanks gc8 for this and all the others along this enjoyable aqueduct walk.

Tricky tricky. Look look look. An obvious hint. Well hidden. Took time.

Near a tree under pine needles a little hard to find. Persevere!

Near a tree under pine needles a little hard to find.

A long search yielded no results. I know that it has been hard for others so maybe it is still there.

Fun find with the dog

Tricky to find.

Location seemed to keep changing

Found by the Swedish Tennis Players. TFTC!

Right behind my gym. Nice hide!

The container was a bit out in the open so I hid it a bit better, thank you for the trail:)

I was in the area (well, Warrandyte) for Aikido training and a BBQ, and still needed a cache after eating far too much at lunch. One that included a bit if a walk sounded perfect!


Found this one pretty easily. A nice little walk that I hadn't expected.

I think, I hope this is the last of the series, and like skinks, also peering out through its covering, again I have placed the container further into its crevice, and given it a bit more covering, Thanks gc8 also there is NO TBs in cache

Yay we found it!! Geo kids very excited! Thanks!

Nicely hidden!!

Thanks for the nice hide.

So not obvious...

Took two TBs

With family really fun and we have a first timer

Easy

Found this one today after crossing off a few local caches. Well hidden, one of those I looked straight at but didn't find until I came back to where I started. TFTC. Picked up and TB and dropped two off.

I needed somewhere to ride the cobwebs out of my head and off the bike, and get some smileys for the final week of our Mary Hyde's adventure, so decided to visit the Aqueduct Trail for the first time in ages. Plenty of people and their canine companions were also enjoying the day and the trail, so I had the fun of the occasional game of leapfrog, and a few waits for uninterrupted retrieval. Just a normal, fun day on the trail, really.

This first find on the trail could have been a nightmare, but I was fortunate in my choice of approach, and the cache was slightly exposed. Thanks, gc8.

Ping pong

Finally got to this after several tries. Dropped off a TB.

This one really got the better of me. After someone found it just yesterday I could not for the life of me find where it was. I looked here for probably 20 mins then went on to find 2 more up the trail. Then on my way back I spent another 15 mins talking to the CO via messages but still couldn't find it. I also put the callout via Facebook but no luck there either. I went home with the intention of coming back later in the arvo. I arrived again about 4:30 with my son and STILL couldn't find it. A few other people helped from Facebook (I also did a video call) but it continued to allude me. With light fading I had to call it a day. But I'll be back... for sure.

Out walking the track and bagging some 'caches. Thanks

Nice and easy! TFTC! Greetings from Germany

Yay, thanks

On a ride with the geokid, we started to the north of the track at ZigZag road and had fun riding down, then worked our way back. Interesting how many people walk and ride on this track which made some of the finds hard. This was the first one and like others took too long before we made the discovery.

Found by Team Justice #1751 CDWAF #288

Thank you.

Like everyone else it took longer than it should have but the pine leaves were pretty deep. Tftc

Got

Out on a rare occassion with my non geo hubby grabbing a few caches while in the area. With 1 flat tyre on one bike, we rode and walked this great trail. Took much longer than should have, as we had not check properly the first time.
Thanks gc8 for placing the cache for us to find.

Out this afternoon with jimbo_80 on a lovely ride along this beautiful trail. Thankyou for bringing us here today

The lovely OzHockeyChick and I hadn't cached together in a while, so this afternoon was the day and we would do the Aqueduct Trail.
We didn't get off to a good start for our first one! It took quite the search, but then I had a better look somewhere and found the well hidden cache. Thank you!

Found it this time with Flare98 & Tabi. Great cache . Third time back . Size of cache impressive. Well described and well hidden .

Really good. Trying to get all the aqueduct trail ones. Took me and Barkers08 all little while but it was a nice hiding. Tftc.

Son says "Really cool geocache, I can see why they call it ants."

"I found it!" "No, I found it!" "I want to get it!" "Then I want to put it back!" Happy Australia Day.

Found on a walk with friends.TFTC!

!

!

another nicely hidden container...only took a few minutes to find. Thanks for the series gc8- we will be back again to find the remainder of the caches we had missed.

Good one

Very nice! Almost gave up!! Found!

Searched for 30 minutes no luck.

Tftc, it was pretty exposed when I saw it but i made sure to cover it better when I left it

Nice find

Nice evening!
Came back to finish off the few caches we missed last time.

Found with the geokids on a warm but windy day. TFTC

Dropped off a travel bug to help it on its way. TFTC

A scheduling error on my behalf meant I had babysitting organised but no longer anything to do, so with a day free to myself I decided to pick a random spot on the geocaching map where I haven't cached before. I spotted the walk along the aqueduct that looked interesting so headed out in this direction to sample some of the hides. It was a good choice because the quality of all the hides I found was very high and the trail was a very interesting walk with some great views along the way.

This one took me a bit longer than it probably should because I found what looked like a suitable spot initially so kept my searching focused in that area. Once I expanded my search I finally found the cache very well tucked away in it's hiding spot. Thanks for the cache gc8.

Easy find. TFTC.

Quick find TFTC

My twenty fourth geocache.

Easy peasy!

Final cache for the geokid for today. Lots of fun, lots of treasures found. TFTC!

On a bike ride a long time ago.

.

Great hide. Thank you.

tftc

Thanks for the cache and thanks Mr 5 and a half for looking in the area we found it! Tricky, but fun!

Good spot!

Went for seconds and had another shot! SUCCESS! If all else fails, try the other side!

Great hide. TFTC

Couldn't find it. Spent half an hour looking and probing in holes. Nothing. Good luck!
