We found your cache tucked under the lip of the concrete slab. By the look of the camo, it was not meant to be there. Magnets also have come loose. We left our mark and hid it where we thought it should have been.

First find! Hopfully many more to come. Left a Ford Cobra took a little pig badge
I needed a cache that started with 8 for a challenge cache, the challenge being to have found caches that start with each letter and/or number in your caching name. Despite having found over 1300 caches, I don't have one starting with 8! These are few and far between, but this one was in striking distance, at least, within striking distance assuming you have one and a half hours spare to be able to drive there and back. Luckily today I did, and once there, the cache was an easy find. TFTC!
Cache has been replaced with a slightly bigger container (thanks Aldi!), a new log and I have left a trackable which I brought back with me from England - I'd be grateful if someone could move it on.
Also in the cache is josiejae's necklace which was rescued from the last cache container.
It's a full house in there so remember to bring your own pen!

Found this on the ground this morning, fortunately intact but someone's removed a vital magnet. It will be returned to service tonight but I have taken it away for some repairs.
We walked around and found the mailbox, then looked under and there it was! Thanks for the free paper holder
Found it on a miserable wet day - not too many cars driving by but did retreat to the car to sign the log. TFTC.
Thanks for the easy cache. Geochuck and I were picking up an eBay freezer and looked up your cache and hit it on the way home. TFTC
Thanks for this one. This one was a good one. Clue helped a lot but didn't really need it. Found with Alex_Saengpetch. Tftc
Was a good starter! Our first geocache. This one is closely guarded by a baby red back!!!
Quick find // a great little after dinner treat with the kids:: oops, I mean troops
Thanks for placing

Nice hide for suburbia still heading home from a long bike ride up the PLT needs new log as its full TFTC
Caching in the area today with an ex local made it a little easier getting around and his memories of the surrounding areas made for some interesting talking points as we made our way around gathering some smilies. We managed a quick park and grab with this one, Thanks Blanksy for the hide, I have played this game many a time when I was much younger and never noticed the green beret had cleavage!!

Field instruction manual (aka the logbook) is severely damaged and in need of replacement by military HQ
** ok, might as well go in theme ***
Green Beret Jammalees SITREP 02 FEB 2257 hours...
2100 hrs... I was on an incursion into enemy territory when I came close to the coordinates for this rendezvous site.
2105 hours...Approached from the east with extreme caution just as night was falling, using my armoured vehicle (aka Prado 1) as cover. I managed to secure a park right on top of Ground Zero.
2110 hours...Went to make the grab but Bogeys everywhere in armoured vehicles... I ducked and ran for cover.
2112 hours... A second attempt had the ordinance in hand safely ensconced in Prado 1. However I can report some damage to the asset - they field log sheet is torn and badly in need of replacement.
2115 hours... I did what field repair I could with my military kit, ducked out of Prado 1 in a gap between bogeys and replaced the package.
2125 hours...Safely made it back through the enemy blockade at the Yarra River and had Prado 1 back in friendly territory...

Grumpy gramps and I hit the road tonight after being prompted by her in doors to go out! Didnt have to think about it to much.... And off we went. As usual we are hoping for double figures. TFTC
Found easily enough today although the cache was not quite where the hint said. It is now!
It was a nice day to be out and about with my boys, to enjoy the nice weather during a bit of a cache run today. We all had a great time visiting some cool locations and some parks, where the boys would have a play before heading off to the next location.
A quick park and grab as we made our way around. Thanks for the cache.

[red]Find #2905 Traditional #2296 [/red]
I was up at the crack of dawn today to make my way over to this side of the bay to grab a few caches and complete the Geo Yak series. I had a great day out even with the ordinary weather. I was lucky with no wind after a windy day was forecast. A little rain around early in the morning. This one was a quick find for me today. Stamped and returned as found.
[blue]Thanks for this trad cache, Blanksy [^]
Log and container in good condition.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing [/blue]

Nice easy find for my first cache in months due to illness. Took nothing. Left nothing. Signed log. TFTC
Pretty straightforward. Although having arrived in the daytime I did myself faking a very long telephone conversation while a huge bunch of people from a just a couple of doors down decided to chat interminably on the footpath before parting ways. Thanks Blanksy!
Firstly. apologies for the late logging.
In between night shifts, today was a good chance to grab a few caches on the East side of town.
Nice little trad in a great location.
Thanks Blanksy for bringing me here

Quick park and grab, well concealed and camo'd cache. Took nothing and left nothing. Thanks!
Nice simple little hide that is just for fun. We have a similar hide in the area about to be published (we hope)! TFTC
