Give up no caching eyes today

This one was a DNF for us too - might be worth checking?

dnf

didnt find

Pirate were either too cunning for us or Ben Gunn (Treasure Island) beat us to the treasure.

Despite a thorough search, no luck here today.

So you know when you look at something and youre like nah thats too obvious so you dont check it, then you spend 15 minutes searching until you eventually check that first thing you looked at?! Yeah that. Found with FairyDust01 Thanks for the cache

Cheaky I love it tftc

Tftc.

Found GZ and was looking around a little but in the end had the right idea to find it. Tftc

Well this one took some time!! The GPS was jumping all over the place and after nearly 30 minutes I gave up and was returning to the track to walk back when I noticed something I had walked past many times that was probably worth a closer look. Voila - a cleverly hidden cache that deserves a favourite point.Thanks cruisinblues.

TFTC! 11 March 2024 4:43:24pm 7634 thanks to cruisinblues for the cache!

Sneaky hiding spot

Holidaying in Queenscliff with a muggle friend and our dogs, had to get at least one geocache while here. This was the one today. Liked the hide, found after a short search. TFTC

Nice easy find TFTC

Found it but I lost my pen on the track. TFTC

Down in Queenscliff for a weekend break with my family... and after lunch it was time to start heading home... except for me! I had 8 more caches to find in Queenscliff so I could cross off the Borough for the WCW - The 80/20 Rule Challenge. With plenty of caches along the G2Q Rail Trail to choose from, I was back for more... and finishing my day with this cleverly hidden cache.

Thanks **cruisinblues** for placing this cache.

Hello cruisinblues thank you for the cache

A nice hide as the steam train went past.

This was one of many caches found on our way to Newcastle to see our grand children.

Found on Sunday, 07 May 2023 at 1036

Found with Haddy, lovely find and lovely day!

Wasn’t what I was expecting very creative good job

A lovely walk along the rail Trail today and a little bit of Geocaching while we are visiting Geelong and Queenscliff. Lovely to be by the water and to have some sunshine today.
Log sign to hear.
Thanks cruisinblues

Too good for me. I did spend some time both in and out of the trees but nope.

Snuck away to collect a few smiley faces tonight! Very happy to tick this one off the list Nice little camo here. I'm surprised it's still standing with all the cubby making happening around it.

Thanks for the cache

TFTC JENPETEH, The H,s , South Africans living in Tassie GeoCaching our way around Australia and loving it

Another find with Donutholes

Staying in Queenscliff for 3 nights, I came out this way for a wee look. Nice quick find on what's turned into a Scottish Haar (fog off the North Sea) My pass out isn't for long so many thanks

We were a little concerned when we saw the two DNF’s previously. But once again eagle eyed muggle partner found it.
TFTC

No dice this arvo

Looked around. Left as it was getting dark.

Love it. Thanks

Back in the Queenscliff LGA because we didn't get enough geocaches in the area because the music festival stopped our plans. As such this time, we came early starting at 7.30 am.

Took a little while to find this well hidden container. Lots of people passing by, only only people who saw me stopped to chat with Huntress on sentry duty.

Thanks for the cache Cruisin Blues

With a group of scouts hiking to Geelong. While they hike and I support, my support is geocaching and catching up in the car. Lol.

Hopefully get a few done today.

Tftc

Good find thanks. Clever hide.

Out caching while on a weekend away in this beautiful part of the world. This one took a little while, but found it in the end!

Caching out Queenscliff with day1976. I had never been to this side of the bay before so it was a lovely change. Very nice area.
I wandered in after day1976 and tried not to get sticked in the face. Didn't take long to spot the cache camo

Enjoyed a day out with ilukaperi finding geocaches in Queenscliffe today. I had only ever found a handful of geocaches in Queenscliffe before, so that's why the location was chosen. Plus it was a good day as it had been 16 weeks since my last geocache find. So it was nice to be out again.

TFTC!

Good hide! TFTC!

Took us a little while. Very creative hide. Thank you

i was looking the day before and couldnt find it. Then we found it in a ____ next to the ____. Good find

Found it with laura and kayla

A fun find

We had lots of fun finding this one. This cache rocks!

Found 11/6/2022 12:15

In Queenscliff for the Queen’s Birthday weekend I ventured out in the chilly weather and found this well concealed cache after a spotting a likely spot.

Cheers cruisinblues

A nice hide, but quickly found.
TFTC
We could hear the train approaching as we signed the log so we grabbed some snaps.

Great find, thanks

Day 2 of the Easter long weekend, and we set course for Queenscliff's G2Q cycle trail with our sister-in-law, our youngest and her friend in tow. Loved the “natural formation “ - log sheet replaced only to find another page jammed up in the lid, oopps??

Very clever this one!

Nice hide. Quick find for Mr H

A quick find between wheel pushing muggles. TFTC

Tftc nice camo

Perfect day for a stroll TFTC

Pleasant walking and helps when caches aren't too difficult to get to. And no long grass which is a bonus when wearing thongs

Cute quick find!

Cute!

A short walk with a lovely view and a hide in a well loved protected area, cool. But now rain has started so i think ill call it almost a day.

Another quick team TACKT find today TFTC

Out with team tackt doing the rail walk nice easy find thanks

Third for our walk

Tftc

Cool spot!

First day out after our lockdown and what better than some Fish n Chips in Queenscliff. Not to mention some Geocaches to walk off our lunch. TFTC cruisinblues. Its been a very long time. TNLN All good at GZ.

Thanks heaps to the cache owners for hiding these caches along this trail!!

I stared my journey early in the morning from Queenscliff in hoping to get as far down the trail on my bike as I could before the rain started to set in. Ended up making it almost to Drysdale until I got my first few drops of rain, so I decided it was time to start heading back. Made it to the car just in time before the clouds opened up and the whole place was soaked within minutes!!. Phew! Lucky I gave up on some of those annoying micros, they do my head in!

Sorry about the generic copy and paste logs, but all caches were in good working order unless otherwise stated. Thanks again cache owners for the adventure!

TFTC

Quick find by thx youngest geokid again. She’s on fire!!

Excellent find! Another crafty hiding spot

Find #4874. Found @ 21:53

The family is on a mid-school holiday break since we can get away for this one, and chose the Queenscliff area to chill out (based on the current weather, that is literally as well as figuratively). Every break has to involve some caching, so after a underwhelming dinner at a local place, I got TGLW to drop me along the way for some caching by foot.

After yesterday's DNF, I decided to give this another go before heading off to the accommodation. I was searching by phone light as my torch had decided to give up, and managed to misstep while searching and landed awkwardly on my hand... it hurt a smidgen, but strengthened my resolve to find the cache before I left.

I ranged further afield that I did yesterday and eventually spotted something. Phew it was the camouflage and the cache container. Alright, with yesterday's frown turned upside-down, it is definitely time to call it a night.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache cruisinblues

DNF @ 12:07 with The Good Lady Wife

The family is on a mid-school holiday break since we can get away for this one, and chose the Queenscliff area to chill out (based on the current weather, that is literally as well as figuratively). Every break has to involve some caching so TGLW and I found a few caches while getting some exercise along the rail trail.

I thought we had a good look around the area but couldn't spot anything that looked like a cache. Oh well, maybe next time I'm in the area I can cross swords again with this tricky-trickster hide, with hopefully a different (positive) outcome.

Thanks anyway cruisinblues

Day 2 of the snap lockdown and we were out and about having our walk. We really like pirates and we enjoyed this cache. This area is usually thick with muggles and we were the only ones out and about so it made searching easy. There is good shelter when you are searching and we quickly found the cache. The cache is in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache cruisinblues.

Took a bit longer than needed but eventually found it.
Nice hiding place.
TFTC

No problem here. Tftc!

A little bit of bush bashing here, clever cache! Log book almost full

Ably assisted by Tasgoanna TFTC

Great find, well done cruisinblues

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Thx for the cache

Great weekend walk with the fam. With beautiful scenery. Tftc and smart hide

TFTC!

Woo woo good hiding spot!

Nice one, found it

Very clever little cache. Well hidden. Best day in over a week so we came down to Queenscliff for a bike ride along the tail and to have a look at the rock pools.
TFTC.

Out and about in Queenscliff today with the kids trying to clear off some unfinished caches. This one was out in the open when I found it, after signing the log I placed it back in it's little hidey hole. TFTC

Out with au.fait on a very windy day, we walked along the rail trail gathering a few caches on the way. The GPS would not settle here, but with a little geosense the beautifully hidden cache was found. Thanks cruisinblues.

Awesome find

Pretty good hiding spot

Didn’t get the thing about pirates or crossed swords though! JG
