Good little hide! A fav from us - TFTC

Anothr hard one ta find, clambering up trees complainin this dont feel like 1.5 terrain. Barkin up tha wrong tree an all. Decoy throwin us off as well!

What a great chache

Found it

This one gave us a giggle nearly as much as the muggle who got swamped by ducks near the bin

This one made us laugh! TFTC

Thanks deercheetah for hiding this cache, I needed a find for today to update my calendar and find streak. Your Traditional cache, Bilton, was just what I needed. This is my find #1611 at 05:52 on 3/6/2024. FTF: Found with: selfWeather: mildMuggles: lots heading to work, none hereLight level: darkCache condition: goodDistance from GZ: Your cache was visited by my trackables: TB9QQD2, TB9KZ39 and TB7HH81

Thanks I love this cache it is my favorite cache so far

Ah! Amazing! We loved this cache!! We are currently caching with two handicaps, aged 5 and 2, which makes searching difficult. Tapping in and out, taking turns, we shared our ideas before taking over kid wrangling. Geokid found the decoy and found it hilarious! More searching back and forth before Hubby made the final find with a cry of success. Geokid helped me sign the log and enjoyed rehiding the cache. The wildlife was alternating between exciting and scary, depending on how close the 2 year old was to them. TFTC and a favourite point!

Great find with my daughters, thank you

Maintenance completed

The cache needs some maintenance

Found the DecoyI will be back

Haha, good little twist. While I was looking at the decoy, I noticed something else with the way I'd positioned things around me, lucky otherwise I think I might have been searching for a needle in a haystack! Favourite point from us for this one

Found but there was no blue stopper

Great little twist at the end TFTC

Hahaha this one was a lot of fun, thank you so much for a great cach

Great hide

Nice find. Would say the coords are off but other comments suggest it's a decoy. Very clever.

Loved this cache super clever!The sneaky little red herring just added to the creativity level. TFTC - FP awarded

TFTC! Had looked for this one back in Jan 2020, with no luck. Very successful this time with both Bunadoorian & Grub62!

Grub62 found the decoy then the cache. Clever hide and well constructed. TFTC.

This cache was on my wishlist to find before leaving Melbourne. I didn't know Smiley1982 couldn't find it on her last visit so was happy to come back and try and find today. I found the well hidden cache first and then had to then find the logbook. I soon had the cache in hand - getting the logbook out took a bit more work by bunadoorian. TFTC and for bringing us here deercheetah. A favourite point for the well constructed cache.

tassietan and I are out for a caching day getting enough caches to get the latest souvenir. We were one short, so decided to come here for this cache because of the number of favourite points.We found the cache easily, uncovered in the spot and looked at each other with a bit of bemusement. I have a similar cache and couldn't really see why it had attracted the number of favourite points it has...until we extracted the log! So good!!!! Just love the decoy!!Took us a while to find the actual log, after much searching, a bit of tree climbing, and a bit of head scratching.Thanks very much deercheetah, it is indeed an excellent cache and I'm a wee bit jealous I hadn't thought of doing that. Another favourite point of course!

RoadieM and I are out and about today getting 12 caches for the latest challenge. We drove up the east side of the Derwent and are wending our way back home down the western side. We especially targeted this cache as it had so many favourite points - we were intrigued! RoadieM made a quick find of the cache and I have to say we were a little underwhelmed ... until RoadieM extracted the log!! Very funny! It had us scratching our heads (and extracting bits of pine from our heads when RoadieM came a cropper at one stage) until the puzzle was eventually solved. As the cache was a little exposed when we first found it, we returned it into it's position, as per the clue description. What a fun cache and an amazing effort for your first ever cache placement! Definitely deserves the fav points and I'll add to the tally for this very clever cache (not to mention the lovely location with the myriad of bird species about). Thanks deercheetah for a great cache for my last find of the day.

Found it. Log to follow

Fantasic hide, very clever use of one of those. Adding a FP. Tftc

My only pen died on me, took pic to send to owner

Well done this one was heaps of fun to find

Thanks

Awesome delicate cache! Found in no time with aadi_is_the_best and all is safe. Now onto more Cadbury caches! TFTC )

Collecting a few caches with a client today. Very clever hide

It was time for a return trip to Tassie to explore the southern part of the state. I paired up with OzHockeyChick for a 5 day caching blitz with some sightseeing in between. It was sadly the final day and we were mopping up the end of the TTSS and SSF series while making our way from Orford to Hobart via a whole heap of other caches.

Found the decoy here and was stumped for a moment. Where could it be? The clever blighted was hiding away and alas we found the fresh log sheet and signed it. A favourite point for this one.

Thanks deercheetah for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

It was a little too breezy yesterday searching. We found the decoy though, love it!!!.. I won’t give up, we’ll be back!!

I found the decoy but for the life of me, I couldn’t find the actual cache. I’m sure the ducks were laughing at me too.

I’ll be back though.

Log replaced.

After re-reading the hint at home, I decided to go back and look for what I thought it may be. Managed to find it on my second time round easy!

No blue stopper is in place, the log is visible easily and may receive water damage…

Beautiful sparkling autumn day. not a breath of wind, and no muggles ! GZ quickly reached, and a clever device retrieved. Taken aback by a message advising one to keep looking, and after some rereading we honed in on the prize. Excellently well done deercheetah. Thanks for your work, and take a favourite from us.

Could not found this one!

After finding the decoy, we searched high and low and everywhere in between.
Finally found
You got us good

**Total find count: 1265**

A week away from the stresses of reality. a new state for the geocaching stats.

Cache was found with Crzymelly & TeamPQS.

This is a clever find. THe description made sense, but we did not inspect the decoy cache hard enough to make the find. After re-evaluating the clue, another inspection was made and the log found.

Now that was sneaky!!! Loved it!!

Beautiful day out on the bikes… Thanks for the cache,

Today Zozetta and I headed out to the Claremont area with the aim of finding a few caches. We started the day at Windermere bay then drove towards Granton finding some good caches along the way. We discovered some places that we had never been to before found a good variety of container sizes and types. It was good to be out caching again after two weeks without attempting one.

I’ve been intrigued by this, and the other high favourite point cache in the area, for a while now so it was great to be able to find both today. There was a man feeding some ducks (and geese) near GZ when we arrived but he was gone not long afterwards. After reading the hint I quickly found what I thought was the cache only to discover that it was the decoy. So we kept looking and Zozetta eventually found the real cache. This is one of the best caches that I’ve found and it’s definitely getting a favourite point, excellent hide!

Thanks for the cache deercheetah!

Oh boy, so clever! What a cache. Love love love it. So satisfying to find. Thank you!!!

A quick find which I dismissed and started to look elsewhere.
Ruled out the other areas and came back and had a closer look.
Really found it this time. End is still there.
Thanks for the cache!

Great little hide. Well done. Blue stopper is no longer there. TFTC

In Tasmania for 2 weeks to attend the Oceania Orienteering Champs. Caching all around for DT combos and counties. Cache soon found. TFTC.

Very good work on this cache

This one was on my list due to the high favorite points.
And I can see why.
Thank you.

this wonderful box needs definitely a FP! tftc

I kept on looking while EPunkt had the right “look“. Clearly a FP. TFTC.

Very smart as always, appreciate it!

Once again it’s beaten me. I did find the decoy this time round though. I’m still blaming the fact I have a nearly four year old and 18month old to keep a close eye on! Asked for a hint from CO

absolutely genius. loved this one so much

this one was my favourite one ever. i loved it so much. so much respect from the creator

Replaced the Log

Went on the hunt to find this one and found it. This cache is very clever. TFTC

Out for a little night cacheing and this nifty cache was one of our finds. Got a laugh out of your little note too.
TFTC

Me and my sister found it! surprisingly this was the first geocache we will definitely be trying to find more in the future. I just want to say it was really cool and fun:)

After lots of digging around and almost giving up we found the cache! Brilliant geocache

Very very cool cache! Took a bit of searching but found it without the hint. Very cool idea for a cache! Thanks!

Very smart, a different take on that containers hide. Congrats on a good hide. Thanks

A very clever hide indeed. It took a fair bit of searching with the cache in hand a few times before the hide was found. TFTC

Exploring Tasmania with hellyonfire cache by cache. The weather has kept us on our toes and our ears frozen, and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks to all the cache owners for the creative hides and/or great locations.

With geosister H423L travelling to Tassie via ferry from SA
Out doing my 2 favourite things Driving and caching

Had us stumped for a while with finding the red herring. Another half an hour later we seen something we didn’t originally see.
Excellent. Not seen that before
TFTC

Checked the cache today, still there.

We didn't have our caching eyes on today but our herring eyes were working well
Will try again another day

Not there

Down from Queensland & my 1st time here so a pleasure you to combine caching with the tourist trail. After a visit to MONA (which was pretty good - even though, after rocking up with the family - we were told the Museum of Old & New Art is nicknamed “museum of sex and death”!!), decided had to go get “a final day of 2021” cache or two. That way I can get my 2021/2022 souvenirs. Have to admit, I did use the hint - mostly because I had an impatient hubby & 2 impatient boys sitting, waiting in car. Still an enjoyable find. Just be wary of the hairy (itchy) caterpillar nearby.

Looked in the obvious fork before several muggles rolled up to feed the wildlife. I shall attempt again one day and bring some food for the residents

I love it and hate it at the same time

Favourite so far !

Awesome cache! Nearly gave up on multiple occasions but we persisted and had a little laugh when we finally figured it out!

Found, cool hide

Took me awhile had to give up go back to car then redo after 5 min but then yay...well done tftc nice spot....

Cache checked, replaced log.

Found the red herring and continued for a long while looking for the actual cache. As much as we poked and prodded we couldn't find it in the end. For our next Tassie trip!

Out and about i decided on this one after noticing the FP's it has

Muggles had only just left as i arrived. The ducks and geese then turned their attention to me thinking i have food lol I can only imagine if i had some, a potential mobbing may have occured [:o]

Up at GZ i found the cache but had a bit of a looksee before noticing something about it that i had seen before on a cache in Swan Hill, Victoria.
This construction was amazing and so elaborate. A great effort for a first cache A Favorite Point gladly offered

The log within is dry and all is in great order [^] Re-hid exactly as found with care
No caterpillars were sighted but i'm sure the water-birds would have loved them if there were ha ha

Now THAT was a challenge! Thank you so much for this cache. Had a blast!

Today we decided to trek into Hobart and surrounds and find a few more caches that we have not found and to make them a smilie. A very cold, windy and a tad wet but braved the coooooooold weather and rugged up for the occacion.

We parked at the park and were greeted with heaps of geese and ducks, no food on board, they were not impressed. Once at GZ we quickly found the decoy, when we eventually found the true cache we were impressed by the quality of the hide and adding to our favourites.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Very sneaky. Found by 4 kids two dogs two adults through the geese

Awesome cache!

Found

Found it

This was one of the best camos I’ve come across! TFTC!

That is an awsome find love it tftgc

First looked for this one as one of my first caches, which was not sensible. Came back today and found it fairly quickly.
A very nice one
Tftc

My last day in Tasmania and I was lucky to meet up with Lady membsec and head out for an adventure. The next on our list were a couple of caches in this area with a lot of FPs. There is a certain challenge cache I am working towards qualifying for. This cache would certainly help towards my goal.

Arriving close to GZ we were delighted to see a huge gathering of ducks and geese being fed by some muggles. We stopped to watch the crazy collection of feathery friends for a while before heading off to hunt.

It didn’t take long to discover the very funky container. Love it! I can see why it has so many FPs. We made sure not to touch the fuzzy cache guardians.

Thanks for the smiley deercheetah
Happy to supply another FP for this creative cache!

That was a double take! Nice afternoon!

Absolutely brilliant hide , and location. Replaced as found. Only saw 2 fat furry caterpillars, so the others might be butterflies by now. I found the decoy then had a read through activities and realised I should not give up. Delighted at finding beautiful hide. Thanks

Tftc covered with these little “friends”

Found the cache in a nest a furry caterpillars (not spitfires, as they prefer eucalyptus but definately not ones I want to find out what happened if I touched).
Thought I had avoided the caterpillars but then fetaisbeta pointed out that there was one right by my finger, causing me to drop the cache & send caterpillars flying. We nearly got thrown off by the decoy but after some careful examination uncovered the goods.
Thanks for the cache, excellent first hide!
