No find for us - didn't look long after seeing the last logs were DNF
Now we see the geocachers were fairly new we think we should have searched more.

Had lunch at the nearby General Store and looked for some nearby caches to do.
Arrived at an empty Reserve and made the short walk to GZ. Lovely in the sunshine. Geowife was on to this one straight away. This one could be tricky. Log signed and all back safe as found.
Thanks

I found this cache this arvo after a day at work along the peninsula. I definitely looked around for longer than I should have but eventually I looked from the right angle and found the interesting cache container!
The tennis players were out in abundance but they had their music blasting and they were much more interested in chasing the tennis balls than looking at what I was doing.
This is a nice little area that I'll have to come back to

Out and about grabbing a few more geocaches today, hoping to get about 20 or so but that all depends on my luck. A combination of park and grab and walking between determine my success.
Must be a water polo ball because the log was so soaked through I got splashed when I opened it.

Out and about today indulging in my favourite hobby - this one was a quick find. Thank you!
To many people are finding our caches in breach of lockdown provisions, disabling until things are open again.
Ha. Yes you got me.
I had imagined something totally different.
All in good shape.

Seems to be a bit of a theme here today. Pp7 caches, no balls!
An easy find at GZ.
Took the very moist log back to the car and dried it in front of the heater vent.
Thankfully it wasn't 32° here today, although then it would have been easier to air dry it.
Added a little ziplock baggie to keep it dry for future finders. [^]
Replaced under the watchful eye of a kookaburra who was perched directly above the hide.
Fortunately he didn't drop me a message.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7.

That was easy, Rod brought the log back to the car to dry it so we could sign. TFTC Pp7

Out caching for the day with Brainiac03 on this fine day around Cardinia Reservoir.
After having not so much luck on the previous cache we were both happy to have the first quick and easy find of the day, picking out grass seed from our shoes along the way the cache was soon in hand and signed.
Thanks for the cache.

Today, buhfuhguh and I were out on another caching run, this time in the Upper Beaconsfield/Emerald region with a focus on passing by Cardinia Reservoir before the weather started to heat up and our battle plan was forced to change.
A very hot day for geocaching but still a lot of fun (and nothing that the Astra's air con couldn't handle) filled with plenty of fantastic finds along the way!
Our first find for the day and one that I spotted fairly quickly upon arriving at gz which made for a nice and simple retrieval, pleasant after a DNF to kick off today's adventures.
The logbook was signed and all replaced as found.

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 was my first target of the day having got up nice and early and headed out to the sticks. My first approach was flawed but once I changed direction I found a more convenient parking spot. After that it was a short distance on foot and I soon had the cache in hand. Nice and quiet here at this time of the day. My first 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, with facilities like this. Parked and braved the wintery weather to make the short walk. Signs here that it is a popular doggy sport so beware. Nice easy find as was right out in the open. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7
Super quick easy find out in the open. What a beautiful Park 2 walkthrough I can't believe someone hasn't picked this one up

A relatively quick find after looking in the wrong spot at first. Difficult to miss once looking from the correct angle. In good condition.
Out and about for the afternoon and looking for a few caches along the way. It was a pleasant walk to GZ and a nice quick find in a logical place. TFTC
Out for the daily cache and I return to this area. On arrival there were still people at the tennis centre but I pulled up and went for a short stroll to the cache and found nice a quick

This was an unexpected find in an area I never knew existed. Not surprising really, since I've never been to Upper Beaconsfield before, lol
It was an easy find. Perhaps a little too easy. I added some camo as the cache was rather exposed.
The bonus was I found some fun treats as I searched, for when Captain Fabulous arrives...
He always needs a ball too!
Thanks PP7. All is well here.

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
I set out today with only a small amount of energy to find a cache for International Geocaching Day. I found this one successfully, without MontsII’s help! Thanks for placing it for my enjoyment Pinkpiggy7
Found this time - thanks for the replacement. Beautiful winter afternoon for caching. Beautiful location. TFTC.
Found it! Pretty simple cache, lots of fun but will need to get down and get a bit dirty and not be afraid of going down hill.
Out on errands with the girls. Decided to grab this one on the way to golf. Spied a fox on the path on the way to the cache. Found at coordinates, log wet.

Out and about with Happy pants on this awesome Sunday afternoon.
Love the container but the log is absolutely water logged.
Cheers for the cache

Found this rather soggy cache this morning while grabbing a few smilies in the area. New log sheet is needed but we still managed to get our names on it, thanks again Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.
Had a spare two hours and wanted to take advantage of the nice afternoon. Trying to clear Upper Beaconsfield seemed like a good idea.
Got the the tennis courts and only 2 females were playing against each other. But of course they had to be on the court closest to the gz. I can see them looking at me passing but the gz was well screened.
Cache was quickly found as I could see the geocache sticker from a fair distance. Returned where I found the cache.

Today we explored Beaconsfield Upper and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way. An easy find.

I parked here on a nice afternoon to find some caches in Upper Beacy. At first I went down the wrong side of the park and got told off by some local dogs but once on the correct track it was nice and straight forward. Found in good condition.

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7

No, I was thinking golf ball when I read the size. But then that wouldn't have made as much sense as this! Log was a little damp, but still managed to sign. Tftc
This was a quiet peaceful spot and the hide not at all what I was expecting. A favourite for the inventive container, it made me smile.
Thanks to PinkPiggy7.

GPS was all over the place today but after I lined up a few marks I was sure I was rolling in the right direction and soon found it. Nice specimen. TFTC
Tucked away in this quiet area we found this one hiding in its place.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7.
Chiefton!!!

Log is damp again I put a crystals sachet in the container after signing the log.

What a nice peaceful place to relax. Well made container. Signed log and replaced as it was and headed out as its getting chilli. TFTC
I found this cache as part of the GeoOlympics on GCA and it is my submission for the category of Table Tennis.
I found this cache nice an easily. Great spot, obvious hiding place. The log is soaked through but I was still able to scrawl my name.

Finally came back to find this one after a dnf about 8 months ago. Was good to finally tick this one off the list. This time it was a nice quick find. All in good condition, cool cache container. There were plenty of people playing tennis today but thankfully gz was out of sight of them. Found with Lilmissgeo89 and Strawbz. TFTC!
Out for lunch for mothers thought we would stop off and get this while we kill till we do the night cache tonight. Geotoddler was having a field day with all the sticks. Tftc with geodude#74 & stawbz
