Disabled due to being unable to maintain this cache at this time and numerous DNF’s

Was unable to find geocache

Not found

DNF

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Too tricky for this little black duck today. More than enough DNF's for a CO to visit and check the location and geocache.

After many weeks of lock down, we at last were allowed some normality. A wonderfully sunny day to grab a few Caches.
We cannot begin to say how wonderful it was to escape.
The waterline was literally at the foot of the trees we had determined to be GZ. No Gumboots or waders meant not being able to conduct a thorough search. At least we could get to the trees this time. LOL

I think the area might be flooded

Wet n windy, third find of the dsy

Had a look a few months ago and the gps had me away a bit. Oh well - TFTC.

Last cache for 2018.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Log book is damp

Found it with annabella02, tftc

Day out caching with sassieold55, what a peaceful lagoon off the road,an inquisitive magpie came to say hello probably a nest nearby.TFTC

My only find for the day as is tradition now so it seems. Had some beautiful spring weather, visited a nearby flower farm, enjoyed the beach and on the return to Melbourne stopped by here to take a look at the redwoods and lake with many ducks and pelicans. Cache is in good condition, thanks OhDang! and SweetRebelTee

Find it. it took a little bit but still find it it was hard with the river but we still got it

Didn’t have a pen to write in the log I’ll return with a pen later

Down for the football, popped across for a quick find. TFTC

Found today while in Drysdale to get library books. Had to pretend to take photos for a whioe until dog walkers had passed. Lovely calm place here, many thanks for the cache.

Found this morning after calling at the library. I didn't know this lake was even here, I found the cache after waiting for some dog walkers to pass by, pretended to take photos of the lake! Many thanks for the cache OhDand & SweetRebelTree and for introducing me to this location.

Quick find. TFTC

Down for a overnight getaway and the youngest geokid woke early so we went for a cache. Nice area. Found once GPS settled. Took TB Thanks to OhDang! & SweetRebelTee for placing this cache.

In Drysdale for the day to visit Dad and my Step-Mum for Easter and decided to take my Dad out to show him the fun of the game. We did a small chunk of the trail on Andersons Rd (18) then it was time to go back to his place for lunch (in Central Rd). I convinced him to stop here for one more before we called it a day. A woman was fishing nearby so I crept up to the location and spotted the Cache within seconds. She was having too much fun to notice me so I quickly signed the log and put it back. TFTC OhDang! & SweetRebelTee.

Easy find took travel coin left travel bug sl tftc

Found by Mary & David at 1710. Congratulations on your first hide, and a FP added for the cache notes. We love history, facts and figures. Able to find the cache without getting our feet wet today. Dropped off " Maker Madness Geocoin". Our thanks to OhDang!.

The first of a handful of caches today. This one had good coords and was an easy find.

Grabbed this one on the way through
Lovely lake setting

A lovely area that was new to me TFTC

Geelong Day 1
Today we moved from Melbourne to Geelong. Setting up camp at the showgrounds.
Found this beside a small billabong, picked up the TB that was in the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache OhDang!

Easy find left TB

Out and about getting smileys and green squares. The bugs sure are friendly!

Another find by the McPhail family.

Quick find

GeoHubby and I dropped the GeoKids off with grandparents for a few hours and came to Drysdale to turn a few boxes into smilies. This was our second for the day. We were a bit nervous about the long grass and GeoHubby bravely, although gingerly, made his way through to the GZ. Found the cache and no snakes!

Thank you for bringing us to this spot... we're aware of the lake on the other side of Drysdale but have never taken the time to visit the waterholes.

TFTC!

Decided to retrieve in the dark as we really wanted to get our 500th cache! Mission completed, very happy and wet. Thanks for the cache

TFTC. Found after watching a friends daughter playing footy. Cache is in good condition took nothing gave nothing.

lovely location

After second attempt it was found easy.

Headed down last night to have a look. It took about 10 minutes or so until I had the container in hand. Signed log and returned cache, both in good nick. Thanks to CO for the hide, keep up the good work. TNLN

Good hide

An easy find early this afternoon with my niece and nephew. A pretty spot here by the lake
TFTC

A peaceful location out here today. This one had been on our radar for a while but it wasn't until today that we had time to grab it. Good coords and a logical hiding spot. TFTC

Ll

I have been here a few times before, but not to this particular side of the waterhole. Very picturesque and a nice one to start our cache day with! Nice find- even took time to have a bit of a sit and watch on the nearby seat. TFTC

Nice cache! TFTC

Marshall's Geelong found this cache today,
Quick and easy find. Be careful of the rubbish!
Tftc

Quick and easy find walking the lovely walking track with geo pup

Grabbed this on the way to the kids playground.

A short search with Duffmmm had the cache in hand, signed and returned. TFTC.

Tackled this one a night with Ohm3 and after a short search the cache was in hand. Tftc.

Down in the area today looking for a cache to fulfil our daily addiction we stumbled across this one in a great location. We have fond memories of doing a nearby nightcache not so long ago when it was first released. Today with the sun shining and the local fisherman taking advantage of the fine weather , we made the easy find and added our names to the log.
Thanks OhDang! for the cache and the pretty location.

Over for the Melbourne Mega and collecting some caches along the way.

This is a lovely spot. Had to confuse a dogwalking little old lady muggle, then to the cache. Left a geonickel, took a lion! TB SAUVER OU PERIR not found. SL, TFTC!

Jack and I today. Stoked after a few too many DNFs lately.

Found on a beautiful sunny day. I really need to stop wearing thongs when caching!

In lieu of going to the Geelong Cup in this chilly weather Team PacketStorm headed out to grab a few geocaches.
Started in eastern beach, headed to Point Henry, and then to Ocean Grove.
We kept an eye out for any stray Delorean's
Thanks to OhDang! for the cache!
Happy Back to the future day!

dropped geo wife at the market nearby and found this cache next to some beautiful water holes

Visiting my daughter and grand ones for the day, we decided to go for a walk after lunch, so a quick check of the surrounding area revealed this cache waiting to be found.
As we approached GZ a geotrail in the 2ft high grass showed the way. Left the granddaughters to locate the cache. Felicity was the one to grab the box and immediately let out a scream when a spider appeared.
Thanks OhDang

2/10/2015, Found @ 9:38 PM Find # 4763.

This was one of many found on a day / night tour of the Bellarine Peninsula.
The area does look a bit eerie at night, I was prepared to attempt the nearby night cache so I found this one instead.
They stopped a little short when mowing the grass so the bit around GZ is fairly long, once I was in there it was an easy find.

Thanks to OhDang! & SweetRebeltee for placing this cache.

Found on the way back from a weekend trip to Portarlington. A reasonably quick drive-by with two fishermen nearby meaning I needed to make a stealthy retrieval. I didn't realise such a nice park was in Drysdale despite driving through many many times. tftc

editing to correct date

What a pretty spot. Thanks for the hide. No trackables here today.

As a semi regular visitor to the surf coast region I always make sure to find a bit of time to head off alone and tackle some of the multitude of quality caches down this way. Today was the day this time and so I thought I'd tackle some of the caches around Drysdale and maybe Port Arlington if I made good progress as I haven't looked out this way before.

Beautiful views here at GZ while I searched for the nicely hidden cache. I picked up the soccer ball trackable to take traveling, thanks for the cache OhDang!

Found @11:40 while walking Geo Puppy. Quick easy find on a lovely day for a walk around the water holes.
Saw tortoise near waters edge.
Took Giraffe, left compass drink bottle holder.
SL Thanks for the cache OhDang! & SweetRebelTee.

Great spot for a walk around here.
drop GC
thanks OhDang for bring me here and cache.

Found it. Took Travel bug WPZ00G.

Another trip to Geelong this afternoon for some caching fun generally had a great time touring around with a lot of quick finds. Many thanks to OhDang! for the effort and placement of this cache. TNLN SL

Nice day out caching down at Geelong, good sweep of the area. Tftc

Back to Geelong today in company with Slink1 and JT123 for some caching activity. The weather was iffy at best but the rain held off for the most part. Thanks to the cache owner for the placement of the cache and the time taken to look after it. TFTC TNLN SL

clever hide! great camo

A quick find that has shown me a lovely tranquil area...albeit for the slapping of the mozzies. !
Thanks for bringing me here.
Cheers 24/04/2015 10:57 Find #1090

Wow! What a great spot- fascinating. Nice easy find at this super location. We have come by Drysdale a thousand times and never stopped by this gem. What geocaching is all about- brilliant. Thanks so much for the cache. We will come back and walk and explore here another time.

Lovely stroll round the lake and a cache to boot.

Found it. Log later

Seems funny to do these ones that seem to stand alone, after all the rail trail caches. However, this one beckons and it is well worth bringing cachers to this spot. Hard to believe the water area is this large. Good coords soon got us to gz and cache was soon found. Must explore the multi another day. Thanks for this cache.

Was a bit worried about Jo Blake on this glorious day down near the waters edge. None seen though. Nice easy find. Cute trades. Thanks

Found with Sully on our trip to complete the railtrail caches down here.
After we'd checked our van in at the nearby c'van park it was time to do a few caches before heading to dinner.
This was another good find for us today, thanks Oh Dang for bringing us here, nice hide

Bogonghazy and I returned to finish the G2Q Trail this weekend, a year after having done the Geelong to Curlewis stretch. The temperatures were ideal for bike riding and caching, but there were times I found the oncoming strong winds quite tough, but I made it, even though I was slowing BH down. We only had 3 or 4 spits of light rain whilst we were on the trail on the Saturday, and nothing on the Sunday. The heavy rain saved itself for overnight.

We managed to collect a couple bonus caches (non G2Q) during the day, and this was one of them, with our diversion into town. BH spotted this before I was even at GZ. A delightful spot. Thanks to OhDang for the cache.

Good hiding spot. Kids had fun looking. Thanks. BKAJ

Found by the wisharts

Out and about with Biggles Bear on the Bellarine Peninsula for our monthly caching trip. Nice quick find in a hidden treasure of a location.

My thanks to OhDang! & SweetRebelTee for the cache.

Found 1:55:00 PM, in the company of Muzza on our first joint outting for 2015

TNLN, thanks OhDang!.

Thinking of a bike ride, but no, it is far to windy. Something with easy car access is what is needed, and this cache fits the bill. Thank you for placing this cache.

On my way to the Christmas events with 6Hinemoa2. We had a great days caching and socialising with all the other cachers from near and far. A lot of laughs and thankfully the rain didn't dampen the enthusiasm of any of us.

Just completed nearby Crystal Lake and on the way home just had to do another one as it was so close. It was also 11pm by the time we arrived here only to find Kmace parked nearby. So with 3 sets of eyes it was off to GZ thru the long grass. Thankfully it was quite chilly and we were hoping not to find anything else in the grass with us. Searched for a few minutes with torches and then the cache was found.

Thanks for the cache OhDang

This is one of the caches that sorceysal and I picked up while participating in the fabulous Christmas Smorgasbord of events yesterday.
After finishing our dinner at the Ponds we headed down here to Drysdale to tackle Crystal Lake. Then on the way home we couldn't go past this one. It was so close.
We pulled up in the dark and surveyed the water hole. It didn't look quite the same as the picture on the cache page.
We met kmace and six eyes searched for a while before it was found. Thankfully no wet feet either.
TFTC OhDang!

Found after doing the nearby night cache. Took a bit of looking and eventually sorceysal located it. Log was signed. This cache turns out to be the 1000th small cache that I have found. Thanks a lot for providing the cache for a celebration.

Thanks for the cache OhDang! et al.

Having a few hours to spare this afternoon, we decided to take the road to Drysdale and try to turn a few unopened boxes into smilies.
At the first one we were muggled out - definitely have to go there after hours. The second one, a multi, was living up to its intention of being visited at night and remained elusive in daylight.
Third time lucky: This one turned out to be a quick find in a charming environment. We even decided to make use of McLeod's seat for a few minutes to admire the water, the trees and the many water birds.

Geo-son was playing cricket here this morning, so snuck off for a few minutes to find this one. Quick find and fills in a gap on my geo calendar TFTC.

Find #362 on this beautiful afternoon. I had previously searched for this cache during the night but I have discovered I am definitely no good at night caching! My eyes don't like the dark. I grew up in this area and know it well! I played netball just over at the reserve and I was here when tuckerbag was the local supermarket. I love Drysdale! Thanks for bringing me home

Found ages ago, sorry for my delayed and boring log.
The old app only has a couple of days left to live so I'm trying to catch up on all my finds that have just been sitting there in saved lists.
Thanks for bringing me here.
Cheers and T.F.T.C!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

After some time and due to widening our search area somewhat we found this well hidden cache. We took the TB so that we can help it continue its travels. Lovely area to visit this am.
TFTC OhDang & SweetRebelTee

A quick find after a day of bike riding

TB drop off

Good easy find after visiting a multi nearby.
