Thinking about options for its future

Geocache is no longer there, I walk past it pretty much everyday, just realised its gone

We have been aiming to fill out calendar this year, so with that in mind we came out here today to fill out our sixth last hole. This was our closest cache to home with only a 15 minute drive to get to the cache. We were limited for time, so we pulled up at a nearby reserve entrance and jogged to a likely gz. The cache was quickly found and we found a place to sign in the log. Great camo.TFTC Baluke 5 Calendar Holes to go

Must have been exposed to the elements for a very long time but still quite resistant.

Stopped by after work today to make the easy find. TFTC

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Love the creativity with this one. Just not a lot of room to record the find. TFTC

Haha very easy

Exploring the northern suburbs on the bike today. Spotted the cache on approach to GZ. Didn't even have to get off the bike to sign it! As others have said log is full and quite fragile.

Easy find. Log is full: David

An early evening stroll on the way to dinner and I came across this very clever hide. Discrete and 'invisible' despite being in full view. TFTC

Nice quick find here. TFTC.

Nice quick find just what I needed today

Fun

Many thanks for the cache. I like it. Log is full,

G’day, a novel idea for the cache. Do you realise the log is full? Kind regards Kat

Great idea

Son ran along with a golf ball up and down the hills… needless to say he travelled a lot further than me!

Good hide but log is now full.

very well hidden. good find

Great cache but it is showing its age.

Haha very neat camo. I'm not sure if I enjoyed the walk, it feels like my brain is getting zapped with all the buzzing. But interesting to feel the power. Tftc

Out and about with PrezDough grabbing a cache this afternoon and parked up nearby this one. A short walk away and soon reached GZ. Fortunately I didn’t need my snowmobile to get here at this time of year as the attributes rightly mention are not permitted.
I had to pause and reflect on what I wanted to find here and soon enough it became obvious.
We quickly added our names and back to the car.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition. The log probably has about another 8 positions remaining.
I visited 5 TB.
TFTC and the fun.

A lovely day for a spot of after-work caching with Geoturtle37.
Not many places where this would be. Walked straight up to it and Geoturtle37 spotted it straight away.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, baluke

Got stuck for a second but found it! Very clever and we absolutely loved it!

Loved this series - a nice straightforward find and a good way to finish off our caching session today.

Very nicely done. TFTC.

Awesome hide! TFTC

This one was very clever. Harvey says there was a spider on the box but that it was cool.

There was a spider living in/on it so I looked for something else for a minute or 2, I had to go back

That’s clever!!! I thought that spot was too obvious but hey quick find!

Sneaky

Very clever! Was staring straight at it but needed Tanglefoot Dad's eagle eyes! A favourite point from us given the hide was unusual and gave us a smile. TFTC

nicely done, big spider tho

Electric scooters in the car with AL's thr target for Spiffy- and I plus a few other caches en route. And we milked every last drop of power out of the scooters with both flashing red when we finished.

Quickly found here.

Thanks to BaLuke for the placement and fun.

Found at 2:21 pm.
Today we headed out to do a few Adventure Lab caches on the scooters and while we were there we would also look for whatever else we came across. It was a great afternoon out and about because the light rain stopped just when we started before lunch. We got a little too far from where we parked and I ended up having to manually push the scooter the last 1.5km back to the car because I didn't realise how much downhill riding we had done and misjudged the returning distance and had my first red battery light situation. I survived though so everything was ok.

Luckily Fleabag- to the rescue because I can never find these types of caches.
Thanks BaLuke for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Very surprising cache that we almost missed! We'd done the other caches along this path but only just signed up for premium and now were able to snag this last one. TFTC!

Easy find and interesting cache

Such a creative cache. Loved it!

Clever and tricky! Good hide.

It was a fine day for a lunchtime walk so I grabbed my GPS & facemask and headed off to find this QEF. The cache is in very good condition. SL TFTC.

Found

This was found easily despite the excellent camo.

Never seen a hide like this before! Great find

I do very much like this type of hide...lovely bushy area I’m arriving into. Tftc BaLuke

We liked this one. Had to wait for the muggle to walk past before we could extract the cache. TFTC

Last one for me today before heading home. It took two circles around the obvious location before it was spotted. Nice colour matching - exactly right!

Nice walk, fun find. Tftc!

Tricky one couldn't see it when I was looking strait at it TFTC

A mini series I've been meaning to do for some time, and so needing to gather many caches for the final stage of the Mystery at the Museum promo/challenge now was the time. After a little confusion trying to find the path in to the green strip, I was finally on the trail and then stopped short of GZ until I realised I wasn't quite in the right spot. Second time lucky, the cache was spotted immediately having come across a number of these before (and having one myself) TFTC BaLuke

Found @14:20 on a rather gusty Wednesday afternoon. Great hide! TFTC!

Pfrt! No not that gas. A very well constructed cache container that blends in really well. Really enjoyed finding this one here today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocach here today.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Instant find here at the end of this peaceful trail, and plenty of room on the log. Thanks Baluke for this series.

Great hid

Found on the walk to Montmorency. So sneaky. TFTC BaLuke. Find 4 of 5 today. Didn't realise until I had logged this one - it was my 300th. Extra special now!

Nice hide! It was easy to locate thanks to the clue, but is u likely to go missing.

Nice hide

Cooking with gas today. TFTC

Lb replaced

On the way home from the airport, I decided to take a short walk to claim another cache.
Tftc

Such a peaceful place. Thanks

I strolled up this track from Elderbollard in search of this one. As I went by, I could see the wattles along the track in stunning yellow bloom and a friendly Rainbow Lorikeet fly over the top of me. This was my last cache for the day, and I was almost out of gas. I'm sure there is a real decent pipeline running under here. The cache was cleverly hidden, such a thoughtful disguise. Even if a non cacher went in search of it to see where it was, I doubt they would find it. The logbook is a bit worse for wear, it's not waterlogged and still has space so it can get by a little longer but probably due for replacement soon. Thanks BaLuke for a clever cache!

Found after quick search. TFTC.

Found it, geokid said it needs more paper.
We couldn’t sign it.
But wow what a ripper
Thanks.

Interesting camo. TFTC
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A great idea Thank you Baluke for your caches however amaali and I are not looking forward to turning around and going uphill. But what goes down must go up.
Greytiger

Greytiger and I got this one quickly. Baluke thank you for your caches and the enjoyable walk. A problem looms as we have to go back uphill. TFTC.

Great cache! Tftc!

Awesome. Fun find. Well done.

Dead quiet and easy to have a sneaky look here. Found a spot to sign but it is pretty full! Thanks for the cache and a good run of caches this arvo.

Another find on the way through the reserve. This time it was BendSinister who spotted the tell tale BaLuke hide. After signing off on this one it was onwards to the last couple in the reserve.

As we were loitering around at ElderPark, one of the dog ladies from before was walking along the trail, then when she got to the road, she headed back, as we were now heading to Eldergas - so that was a bit awks...
She left a chorus of barking in her wake, as her two dogs set off all the other dogs behind the fences.
We soon approached GZ to the most obvious structure that related to the title, and then BendSinister did the honours. No dogs to be heard on the walk back. Just crackling. Thanks for this cache

Ingenious log! I had already been here looking for a munzee and looked right past this without a second thought! I'm giving this a heart for its blatant effectiveness!

Easy but difficult find...

For some silly reason I pick very hot days to decide that I need to find a few caches.
Looked at the map, saw this series, jumped in the Geowagon and off to GZ I went.
I must admit I parked in 2 seperate locations to do this series to try and beat a little bit of the heat.
This was the last find for the day as the first and last one’s in the series were both DNF’s for me.
A quick find as I have fortunately found similar ones before.
Still nice and quiet along the path time for a cold drink I think.
Thanks BaLuke TFTS TFTC.

Log is full but I managed to find a spot to log.

Easy find but had to use stealth mode to put it back without being muggled. Clever hide. Tftc

Found on the ground, tried to conceal back logical position but needs maintenance

Needs maintenance

Cache was found roped off and lying on ground. Needs repairing.

Wow, my 600th find.
Out for a bike ride this morning and thought I would try a few of the Elder caches. I did 5 and found them all with no problems. Some were interesting hides. I loved the variation. Some logs were full or very nearly so. They need checking and replacing. Thank you for putting some extra interest into my ride. Unfortunately I ran out of time and so missed going on to find Elder Park but I will be back on another day.

out for a walk with the geodog and smepster+darcy for a spot of caching. TFTC BaLuke. 1 more log left

Another quick and easy find for us along this trail today. This one was exactly where it should have been. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Nice find

Being made keen Tigers supporters Sims_family were drawn to the area because of a special promotion on a nearby cache Take a mark like Roach, so while in the area with Neville_devil and Ausfox; we thought we would have a crack at the Elder series of caches.
One by one we worked our way to park close by each one of the cache with my Navigator Ausfox; giving the directions.
Thank you baluke for the series and a good variate of different hides

Out for a spot of night caching along the power trail with Simsfamily and Neviile Devil.
Approched expecting the usual kind of hide here but to our surprise we found a well thought out hide.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache BaLuke

Out for a walk in between the showers today, these style hides are some of my favourites. This one probably doesn't blend in quite so well as it used to due to age but still hides in plain site. Thanks for the cache Baluke.

Not a huge walk from the first find of the day, this one was cleverly disguised but soon found. We can see why it has a lot of fav points. Nice one BaLuke.

Cache is looking a bit tired, but log is very dry.
Nice idea!
TFTC

On a stroll with friends and their kids we introduced them to the world of geocaching. This one had them impressed as they have walked this path for years with no idea of what is hidden nearby. Tftc

Log was on the ground and needs attention.

Found...but with no pen! Tftc

SNEAKIEST ONE YET!!

We started off looking at the sign further away but then realised that it was at the first one.

Once again Awesome spot and great camouflage

It's all in the name, great hide, my GeoSon was thrilled to find this one.
