Nice easy find on a quiet, Cup day morning. Geodog hard a great time sniffing around the area. TFTC
We came up the track, steep enough to make us work a bit and give us a beautiful view. Quick find. TFTC
A bit obvious but a great trek up the track hill,Like the H20(5G) tower. Worth the walk up here, great views. TFTC
Out on a night adventure with Blazertriaz. We decided to clear up as much Upper Beaconsfield for a local night run cache guardians had their minds in other things. A pair of slugs mating haha. Tftc
Out on a night time adventure with MsSmokeyBear. We decided to clear up as much of Upper Beaconsfield as we could for an easy run locally. Very interesting location. have to admit, had some great 5g speeds on my phone.TFTC.and thank you to the Cache guardians were not paying attention and were engaged in some...interesting...activities.
I went down to [Pakenham](https://www.victorianplaces.com.au/pakenham) today to try and grab a few caches with the "Not in Private Yard" attribute as I only needed three more caches in order to qualify for [Jamin Appleford's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=8b39e499-2ef1-42f7-8b4e-07e9ed9799b3&wid=66162ad7-e5a6-46c0-a6be-4ffbe5c99f2f&ds=2) [WCT No Trespassers Challenge (GC9DPFK)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9DPFK).Well after finding my three needed caches I was on my way back home when I got the thought that so many of us cachers get...*How about one more cache....*So I looked on [Cachly](www.cachly.com) to see what caches were around when I spotted this one. The sun was setting quite quickly and I figured a nice each one would be a great way to end the night.The most complicated part of finding this cache was just trying to figure out how to get near it. There was several winding backroads and one that wasn't even on my map, but eventually I was able to pull up and park the geomobile right next to GZ.Then after a quick minute of admiring the **H20 Tower**, I went to work and started my search for the cache. Luckily this one turned out to be a nice quick find and I ended up signing the log just as the last bit of sunlight dipped below the horizon.A big thanks goes to [Pinkpiggy7](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=eaa1e02c-5a02-4542-b1ad-d2e429ced493&wid=6de6ecd1-ca38-494f-900f-1914b73addac&ds=2) for all the fun today. TFTC.**Cache Maintenance Status**The cache container was in good shape and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.
Went and did some caching on the weekend with the wife around upper Beaconsfield.
Managed to get a few before the rain started.

Out to do some caches with beckgiz to wrack ip the numbers and try out the new truck :3
We got to see some very low flying wedgies! Always great to see the locals

Omg this was awesome! When we got to GZ Nyochi pointed out the wedgetails above us and possibly a couple of falcons too! I've seen wedgies from a distance and closer up in the wild but this is the first time I've ever seen them this close in the wild! They literally came right down above us, we could see every detail and you can also really appreciate their size this close too! Definitely a highlight here and once we finished admiring them and they'd moved on we soon had the cache in hand too! I added quite a few various swaps then we signed the log and replaced as found. TFTC!! A FP just for the opportunity to see those magnificent birds up close in their natural habitat!!
To many people are finding our caches in breach of lockdown provisions, disabling until things are open again.
A great spot that I have seen from afar many times before.
Much more interesting up close. Time for a sandwich.

As usual it seems when I am caching out in these parts it’s an early start and as many caches as I can find before I need to head off to other more mundane tasks. This one wasn’t far as the crow flies from my previous find but I shoes to drive the long way around to make it a little easier. I could make a genuine work reason to be visiting this site but that wasn’t the case today and I only had a quick glance at the water tower before heading off to GZ. Another quick find to keep me on a good run for the day. My seventh find of twelve on a pleasant morning to be out this way. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7.
Out and about with geo son pimpmyballoons. He had a 1st birthday gig in the local hall so I joined him to check out the area. WHOW what a beautiful part of the world, it would be even better with a little bit of sunshine so we could enjoy a view. Parked and braved the wintery weather to make the easy find. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7
This really is right on top of the hill isn't it great condition cache nice and dry fantastic hiding location good size for trackables, swap and bits and pieces

We had a few caches on our list of to do's today, and in between showers we also picked up some extras. We didn't realise until we got home that this cache had a "footprint" clue for the Mystery at the Museum souvenir. That was an extra bonus, but this was an enjoyable cache regardless of the clue. We enjoyed the walk, although the clouds prevented much of a view, and the track was nice and greasy from the rain. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting location.
I guess the phone signal isn't gravity fed because for a lot of the afternoon we had none.
Fortunately I had the foresight to download the whole area to an offline list in c:geo. [^]
Thanks for a great day out in your neck of the woods Pinkpiggy7.

When we arrived up here there were three eastern grey kangaroos waiting for us.
They let us take their photos and the took off down the track.
Good views from up here.
Our dogs enjoyed a run around after the roos were well and truly out of sight.

Easy to do a few around this area... young son had fun searching as this was a fairly easy find...
Spotted a few kangaroos on the drive up this morning. Cache was easily spotted, exposed as it was. Covered it up a bit when replacing. In good condition.
Out to find a cache for my calendar and streak, the gps lead me up to this spot. What a lovely little area and nice cache.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

Out and about last Tuesday with Trailstevo and whilst staring at the map I spied a little walk (with some suggested hills) and a few local drivebys that needed some attention. Off we trott on the warm evening and on arrival realising that I had been here before, which I soon realised why. We completed our circuit, collected the clues and picked up the mystery cache. Then off to some country roads for the other quick finds but we did decide to leave one which had a dog nearby and as it was late we didn’t want to concern any neighbours. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 and SmokeyBear for the fun and adventure, think we scrapped through double figures which is not bad for a Tuesday night!
Out with Gunks for the first serious night of caching. Did a loop around for 5 caches then a bunch of drive bys. Nice night for caching. Decent walk early. TFTC
Having a quiet day today, we decided to go to the Akoonah Park markets. Afterwards we had some time to go geocaching.
The plan was to get the mystery cache next but with a slow horse float driving in front of us, we turned off towards this cache instead.
Was a bit worried when a sign said 'No Thru Road' but glad it did meet up and led to the Upper Beaconsfield Water Tower.
Parked the car and the cache was found in good condition, very quickly in the obvious place with good GPS coordinates.

I was heading home from Officer where I had been working this morning and taking the scenic route so I could look for a *cache or two* (or more actually!). I drove up to this cache and spent a while looking for it... without success. Rather annoyed with myself I went down the hill to the other cache nearby where I finally had my first success for the day.
On my way back to my car, I gave this one another try as I went past. This time my GPSr was pointing to a different location... and there I spotted a likely hide... and the cache. Very nearly a but happily it turned out to be a .
Thanks **Pinkpiggy7** for putting this cache out.

Well, what can I say other than I have been very very inactive that last couple of months couple that with some lack of logging from the past couple of geocaching days it equates to me not having done anything at all really....... but I digress. So today I woke up a little early to e sure that both the food and some caches could be found before I head off to work tonight. Today was a rather successful day with many finds. I do apologize for the generic log but am rather mentally fried after my third-year uni exams. Thx for the cache and the lovely day.
Heading home from the event in Beaconsfield this morning and had some time to myself so decided to get some caches while heading home. Tftc.
Another quickie cache we thought, however too many hidey holes is the bush meant it took a bit longer.

Could have walked here after our last Cache , but took the easy way out and drove around the Block . That is a big Tower tnks Pinkpiggy7
Thanks! Bit of a hike up the hill after an unsuccessful previous cache. Very easy find with this one though. Last one of the day.
With time to kill before the giff event weve ventured out to collect a few caches all in good condition tftc
Today we explored Beaconsfield Upper and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way. An easy find at GZ. Left TB.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Managed a quick find with this one which was handy as the rain started to get heavier and we had to sign the log quickly and then retreated to the car. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the hide.

Was great to be out caching with Happy pants once again.
With the rain pouring down, we made this a fast find.
Cheers for the cache

After attending a nearby event, Mark&Kelly, S_38, Papillon4506, GeoTurtle37 and I headed out to find some of the local caches.
This was one of our targets.
As M&K stated, my tractionally challenged cookie monsta did in fact make it to gz.

Found it! After attending a nearby Mega countdown event we teamed up with OHC, S_38, Papillon4506 and Geoturtle37 to go grab a few more around Pakenham. With local S_38 acting as our navigator we were able to quickly negotiate the back roads to get to this cache, although OHC's cookie monster became tractionally challenged a few times (or was that just the right foot). Once at the GZ this one was easily picked up and whilst Geoturtle and Ms H headed for the next on foot the rest of us went back to the gravel by car...TFTC...
The GPS took me past this one and as it did I thought "might be in there". 30 seconds later I was back for the find. Would be nice views from up top!
Making my way around the back roads, after one dead end I was back on the correct route. A great view and a lovely spot.
Thanks for the cache PinkPiggy7 and bringing me to this location.

A Berwick Beaconsfield run today
Last one for the day
Even in the dark I was amazed at the amount of rubbish people had dumped here

Nice quick easy find as it was laying out on the ground. We put it back in the most likely spot. Never seen a water tower before. Yay. Signed log and hid again. TFTC
In the area hunting a few caches today and this was next. Drove right up to the tower and walked the last bit to GZ where the cache was quickly found. Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for this one.
Having stayed the night with a friend just around the corner, it was way too tempting to just drive away without collecting this smiley TFTC Pinkpiggy7
