Ending this cache

Quick sneak out to satisfy my Geocaching obsession

Some late night caching with my bestie! - TFTC Johnson and Johnson I really enjoyed it!

Had my eye on this one for a while. Nice quick multi on a nice day TFTC

So geo daughter (coliver95 )and I were out and about today
Picked it up with not to much trouble
Signed log and returned
tftc

after noticing this multi yesterday while out at dinner with geomother (coliver66) and non-geo father.

geomother & i decided to head this way while adventuring out and about.

signed log easy enough and returned.

tftc ️

DNF'd this one a couple of years ago and it has been on my radar ever since. I new I would be in the area today so redid my calculations last night as the cache had apparently been moved since my last visit.

Parked up right next to GZ and spotted the container in the first place I checked. Glad to finally have a smiley here.

Johnson and Johnson I found your cache at 5:54pm, this was the 3rd of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5756. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Out picking up a few caches before the rain set in. Found the sculptures easily but somehow mucked the co-ords up for the final. Once the numbers were sorted we parked next to GZ to make a quick find. Fav point TFTC Johnson and Johnson

Completed this multi today with the geo baby and mommy Ooh Yeh. Enjoyed the short wander before the rain came in. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Nice quick cache that the geokids could work out.
Love the sculptures we passed while looking for the coords. Tftc

Thanks Johnson and Johnson for the lovely walk through Byford. The town has come a long way since I was last here and it's great to see some artwork on the street. TFTC

We had figured this out a while ago but had not got around to getting the final container.
No muggles around so an easy pick up and log.

Here at the GIFF event tfth

Spent a lovely time gathering the numbers needed and made a quick find.
TFTC Johnson and Johnson this is find # 5439 for us.

Finished up at work and headed down the highway to Byford for the GIFF event. A great evening with a beer at the pub afterwards before grabbing a cache and heading home. Thanks for the evenings entertainment.

Teamed up with PortChick to do this multi. My favourite Len Zuks sculpture is nicknamed Trigger in Wandering GC3C7EG. He has a great style. TFTMC.

Found

Have to agree with the CO's regarding these statues. Awesome. Thanks for highlighting them and have a fav point. TFTC Johnson and Johnson.

Out and about with Neva2old early this morning collecting some more numbers, a fun little multi and we are happy to say May the 4th was here with us today TFTC

Out for a bit of early morning caching with Parkacruz, a quick find here after working out the coordinates. tftc

Geospouse is SO thrilled to have found this after it has beaten us for so long. We hate being beaten so this find is especially sweet. Went back to square one and had the answers quickly. There are many more wonderful sculptures in Byford now since this cache was implemented. They are all a credit to the Progress Association and well worth visiting the area to see them. Can’t wait to
see what they come up with next.

Was passing through Byford today and decided to have another go at finding this cache after getting some extra info from the CO. This time it was a clean find. A really nice little multi and a nice new cache to sign. TFTC! Johnson and Johnson.

My last two cache containers were muggled.
I hope you like this new and improved container.

Sorry this cache has been juggled again!

Sure I had the co-ord's right. Will double check and have another look next time I pass by.

Thanks for the hunt and for highlighting these great art pieces.

Greetings from Victoria.

Well, what can I say about this nemesis cache . I have attempted this one in a few occasions previously and I can now finally log a find on it [^] . A helpful hint from the CO confirmed I was in the right area yesterday but was obviously suffering from a spot of cache blindness [)].

With a pile of ever growing solved puzzles and a stack of unfound multi caches about I decided to add a bit of spice to my caching adventures this month and only hunt out mysterys and multis . I headed away early this morning grabbing caches before an event in Civilisation territory (Jarrahdale) . I managed to stay away from traditionals all day [^].

A big thanks to Johnson and Johnson for placing this container out here for us to find [^].

Johnson and Johnson - jinta29 found your cache Six Foot Two on 25/3/17, 8:41 am. This is my find #6355 and find #2 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for bringing us to this location and adding to the wonderful spirit of this game!

I am just not meant to find this one . This is about my 4th attempt at this one . I had seen that it had been replaced and got the clues and worked out the final coords but my GZ was in the middle of some new plants with no spot for a cache. I moved to the tree that was about 10m away but still couldn't locate a container .

Sadly for us we could not find this one .

Johnson and Johnson - jinta29 had to DNF your cache Six Foot Two on 24/3/17, 1:33 pm. I searched but didn't find the cache

This cache is up and running again after recent works in the area meant I had to move it a short distance. Enjoy!

Sorry this cache has been muggled. I'll find a new location!

Out on the SWH today doing some reconnaissance and just had to have a go at the odd cache here and there. Worked out the final coords for this one a some time ago while sitting at my desk. At GZ I was drawn to a bridge but I don't think that's where I supposed to be. Rummaged around in a few other locations but came up empty.

Probably serves me right for cheating.

Johnson and Johnson I couldn't find your cache, this was my 2nd DNF for the day. I did have 10 finds today so all is not lost.

TFTH

This cache is back on line after some recent building works in Byford. Enjoy!

This cache will be back in operation soon when the works in the area have been completed.

IT was still there. But I have decided to remove it until works are complete in the area as it might have gone missing. It will be back soon.

There is a lot of civil works at gz and the container may not have survived. You may need to check it out

TFTC:)

Our second attempt in the rain, the previous was two weeks ago, and still a DNF. We rechecked the number of feet and went back for another look and still no luck. May be it is the rain? ;-(
We've been admirers of the Byford sculptures for a long time.

I've been trying to claim my find on this cache for over a year now...I have finally added my name to the logbook. I originally DNFed it at the previous location and then again at its current location, so was hoping for a nice easy quick grab this afternoon. After a 10 minute search, I resorted to a PAF, and was put out of my misery. Great to finally clear this one from the map.

TFTC Johnson and Johnson.

Johnson and Johnson, I found your cache Six Foot Two on 26/06/2016 at 5:51 PM.
This is my find #2752 and find #6 today.

Found today. Fortunately the development nearby hasn't affected the cache yet, should be ok for a while. Nice quick find. Thanks for the multi , enjoyed.

Thank you Johnson and Johnson. We needed a little hint from a friend so we returned and found it. Did a bit of cleaning up of rubbish from area we parked in. We are part of the bag people team who collect rubbish within the shire, the proceeds of which help towards more street art in the shire. TFTC

The cache is still there and intact! It doesn't need relocating!

Got the coordinates but site is disturbed due to new shopping centre being built. Needs relocating

Stopped to admire the sculptures and log a quick find. Thanks Johnson and Johnson.

As it gets closer to the warm months, the mornings are getting "slightly" lighter meaning an opportunity to grab the odd cache before work.

I scooted around town and grabbed the clues needed to get me to GZ. I almost walked away with a DNF as I became fixated with something near GZ that matched the hint but was in fact not containing the cache.
As I walked away, I spotted something that didn't quite belong and BINGO

Johnson and Johnson I found your cache Six Foot Two on 17/09/2015. This is my find #3756. TFTC.

We've been driving past this one for far too long so tonight we ordered some FishnChips and whilst we waited we got it sorted a nice quick drive to the cache and signed away! Thanks for this great multi cache guys and the chance to appreciate the beautiful artworks in Byford

Well today was going to be a milestone day and only 3 away form my 2000th cache. We decided to do some in this neck of the woods today and this was my first as we drove into town. Great statue and nice to be guided around this rapidly growing town and shown the artists great sculptures.

Not sure how much longer this container will be safe here as development is rapidly gaining ground on it, it was a lucky spot on my behalf.

Thanks for this multi and the tour J&J

This has been on my to do list for awhile having grabbed the various co-ordinates from statue over the last few weeks. With M$YB in the Area and the use of her Garmin the Cache was quickly grabbed.

As previously said I think this cache may need a relocation sooner rather than later due to the nature of this rapidly progressing Town/Suburb.

TFTC J&J have loved seeing all the statues around town more closely thanks to a few clever CO's

TFTC. Nice to get out and about town for some #Holidayfuntime.

A nice walk gathering the required information. Have looked at these sculptures previously, some had caches on them. After finding the cache and signing the log I headed to the nearby cafe for a well deserved cuppa. Favourite point from us.

Thanks Johnson and Johnson for the cache.

Good multi, had coords a few weeks ago but ran out of time to have a search. Returned today and found the cache right away after trusting coords. Good camo. Found snail shells on the cache and I thought they might be part of the camouflage but one started moving. Brushed them off and signed log. Glad I did't have to go over the fence because I wasn't sure if it was private property. TFTC

Out caching this morning with Chwiliwr whilst The Better Half relished here role as Grandma back at home. Happy to finally have my smiley for this one. Thanks Johnson and Johnson

Out with Mistraluna for a morning of caching.

Found the cache without problems after calculating the required GZ.

Thanks Johnson and Johnson for the cache.

Originally logged under family caching name. Clan- Wallace.Now relogging under new name.

Now you have introduced me to some of the work of Len Zuks I had to research some more & must say that I like his style! Also had the pleasure of bumping into an old friend while we were wandering around Byford. So this coupled with a nice Multi made it a very pleasant afternoon. TFTC & have a fav from us.

Have the co ords but too cold and car has to be parked to far away from searching zone which means geo toddler has to get out the car on a cold morning. So will save co ords and save for another time thanks for the tour of byford.

After finding a cache at WP2 recently I also made the effort to get the information needed for this cache, but had limited time on the day. There was time today, so armed with the new coordinates, I came for a quick find and sign. Found (it was well concealed) after a short search, though for today the coords were out by about 6 mtrs (the satellites move don't they). SL. Thanks to Johnson and Johnson for the cache.

No luck for me here in the dark. Even with a hint from the co I could not uncover this one

Johnson and Johnson - jinta29 had to DNF your cache Six Foot Two on 20/02/2015 6:07 am. I searched but didn't find the cache

Good to have these statues pointed out to us.
Collected the info and off to find the clever cache.
Many thanks.
TCC

After I saw the Kangaroo cache, I spotted this one by the same CO.
I love the Len Zuks artwork in Byford, and I was so glad when a bushfire spared his property, there used to be a cache nearby where you could see the artwork. Sadly the cache didnt survive.
Anyway.... I drove through town, went for a walk past WP1, to WP2 and 3. Back to the car for some working out.
I had a big day of caching planned so I drove close to the Final, where achieving stealth away from the passing traffic was harder than making the find.
TFTC Johnson and Johnson, a fave for the pleasant tour.

TFTC my first multi!!

Really enjoyed this one. My first multi.

This cache is back up and running. Enjoy!

This Geocache is temporarily out of action while I find another location where it wont get muggled.

Pretty sure about the final coordinates but no luck here. Did not want to get too far into the GZ area as area is a bit susceptible to damage. A few muggle kiddies around too so made a little harder to search. Will be back for this one another day.

Out today with geobuddy Mark, heading up to do the Kanadian Bash. After breakfast at the local bakery, we thought we would give this one a try. Having admired the sculptures on many other caching forays, was glad to see someone had found a way to incorporate them into a cache.

Sad to say that we didn't get our smileys though. After plugging in the coordinates and making our way to gz, we were somewhat dismayed to see the damage that is being done to the garden plantings. We read the hint, thought we knew what the cache would be, but weren't prepared to add to the damage.

Perhaps the CO might reconsider the final location - if so, we will return then and possibly earn our smileys. Thanks anyway.

Cache has been flooded. I have removed everything to dry it out and to seal up the container. It will be back in action by the weekend.

We have found caches on at least two of these sculptures in the past, so great to revisit them for this multi. Had to get the information in pouring rain and returned later in the day to gz to make the find when the weather had eased. Thanks Johnson and Johnson.

Container will need attention as we poured 2cm water out of it. The log book is still dry but the plastic bag has a hole in it caused by pencil.

Teamed up with the Richlinks and Iluvtrekking for a day off geocaching and my girlfriend came along to even the numbers up. The heavens opened up and we still continued on our way to to find caches,after collecting all the information we manage to make a reasonable quick find, it took about 10 minutes to find.... TFTC

Found with richlink & JacobsCrew.
Nice little multi, we have had a close look at these sculptures on previous caching adventures.

Took us some time to find it. But very nice idea Pencil needs to be sharpened. BYO

Great series, love these sculptures. Final was a lot easier to find than I first thought at GZ. Nice hide

With a beautiful sunny day ahead of us, we headed out Byford way to find a few little treasures... After having a bite to eat in town, we checked out the sculptures nearby & worked out the sums for this one At first we were a bit confused, but after re-reading the description we soon had a set of co-ords!

After plugging our calculated co-ords in, we were a bit unsure of our workings so we did a double check before going back to the car... Once at the final GZ, we were still feeling hesitant but thanks to the good hint Jase quickly had the cache to hand

TFTC Johnson and Johnson [^] Master 2 just loves these big sculptures & it was great to have the opportunity to check them out again!

Back in business. Replacement cache installed. Please watch out for muggles and replace as found. Enjoy!

Apparently my cache has been muggled. I'll make a new one as soon as I am able.

Re-logging under new team name ONLINE ONLY (were formerly part of TheChatterboxes but the team had got too large). If CO is not ok with this please contact me. Thanks.

Yey our first First to Find. Very exciting. Nana Chatterbox found it - were watched by two little mugglers so hope it is fine. Told them not to touch it! Chatterbox juniors felt it was a very kind gesture to put in a scratchie as it gave us a chance to get rich. Nevertheless we didn't - no winning combionation but still enjoyed the dreaming. Thank you.
