O. A beautiful sunny day we went for a drive and took the opportunity to grab a few caches this was a nice easy find and a really fun cache, thanks for placing it

Nice easy find on the way down to the prom

Was heading away for a few days and staying in Loch, as I was travelling around the area I grabbed a few caches on route.Such lovely weather and lots of wineries and breweries/distilleries in the area.Even took the bikes and did a bit of the great southern rail trail. Thanks for the cache and the hidelogbook has been signed and returned Find #3033----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Have you logged your will attend for Victoria's first ever Block Party? (Think Mega but even more special!)Join us on 22-23 March 2025 in Sunbury to celebrate 25 years of geocaching by logging your will attend at GCAP417.

I have been driving past here my whole life. New to this and had no idea. Thank

Tftc! Certainly a reminder that it's time for a cuppa.

TFTC.

Very clever ! Thanks for find 227!

This was a great first treasure find for us. Thanks!

Very clever

Found with LittleBoss2 and Geo the puppy as we head to Foster to catch up with a mate. A wet walk this morning to a well constructed hide, but great coords. Thanks wyrd sister

Quick find love the cute camo

Quick and easy park and grab tftc

We have driven past this cache so many times. I've watched the kettles grow in number and always say I'll stop, but don't. So glad we stopped today!

Two lovely days spent camping in Tidal River were just the welcome to Australia and a new environment which we needed. Laura and I havent left Myanmar since our brief leap day trip to Singapore, and our two week spring break to visit Lauras friends in Melbourne is all the break from reality and a much needed change of environment. After packing up our tent and getting everything all back in the car, it was time to head back into Mitcham. Once we left Tidal River, our drive back home from the Wilsons Promontory was a little more relaxed than coming here and racing against the rain. Some time after leaving the camp and heading closer to civilization, we drove through this road once again, returning the same way. Before getting on the freeway and outta here, we made one last stop at this park and grab stash. While the others waited in the car, I ran to GZ where I spotted the cache from a distance. I got close and saw the cute original container, which had a bit of water inside. Luckily, the inner container and logbook were both dry, so I was able to ink in our nick without issue a minute after two PM, marking our fifth find today and our 7093rd overall find. I snapped a photo and returned the stash as we found it, and got back in the car to head out. Thank you wyrdsister for placing and maintaining your Ma and Pa stash; we were glad to visit it and spice up our Wednesday while in ????Australia for our spring break, visiting from slightly-distant ????Myanmar! For my own personal statistics; this is the fifteenth of 112 geocaches we visited while on spring break, excluding the 56 adventure lab caches we visited and 28 Waymarks visited.

Loved the Ma and Pa Kettle series so had to stop and grab this Caching around on the road trip that encompasses Barrington Tops, Sydney, the Easter Geobash Mega in Canberra then the return via who knows where to homeThanks wyrdsister for contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.

Did not see a kettle!Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks wyrdsister and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! Some logs signed as TAD as teamed up with Tenkae and Deanside for additional fun. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Clever!

Found it! There was quite a bit of water in it but the log is fine. Tipped it out and went on our way. Tftc!

Loved your sense of humour here. Laughed out loud when I saw the cache and everything became clear. Fortunately no gumboots were required. A FP for this one. Thanks wyrdsister

Found at 15:26Stopped for a quick find while in our way home from the beach.Thanks wyrdsister for the cache

Easy find with yummy az eats Tftc

Very cute container . I now understand why this cache is so called . TFTC

Easy find, great cache, and great name. TFTC

Cute

Great little stop on the way to Inverloch with the family. Nice little cache - the ants were enjoying it today too! Thanks

This one put a smile on my face- very cute ?? thanks for this one!

We are staying at Jam Jerrup for the weekend for a friend’s 60th birthday party, dressing up in 60’s gear! The party was last night and was lots of fun! We checked out of the holiday accommodation this morning and headed back towards Corinella, stopping for a few caches on the way. This was next on the agenda as we are heading home towards Melbourne. We spotted this cache which had a lot of FP’s so decided to check it out. We parked in the appropriately named road and headed to GZ and spotted the very cute cache and had a little chuckle! Signed and returned.
TFTC wyrdsister, a FP from us - GJMMelb

TFTC! First one on the way to Philip island nice weather!

Found on my drive with mrx2 this afternoon. Great camo! TFTC!

Found our first one

Could not find it

A very excited 5 yr old when we found it!

Headed away this long weekend with fitzy_1965 for the Great Victorian County hunt. Our mission is to finish off Victoria.

We drove from Sale to Queenscliff and collected 6 more counties along the way. We liked Queenscliff so much that we decided yo stay the night and do some more caching in the area.

All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned. And thanks to all the COs who continue to help us reach our goals.

What a quirky little cache. Loved it.

32,030. Found with minniek during our Great Victorian County Hunt this long weekend. Our aim is to finish off Victoria - minniek needing 14 and myself 7.

We left Canberra after work on Friday and stayed overnight at a familiar free camp at Oxley Reserve. Last night we arrived in Sale and had a great dinner at a local pub followed by a luxury motel room. Day 3 dawned and we started off by completing 'Wellington', then heading West to complete 'Bass Coast'. This was not on our list, but when we drove past and saw the typical Aussie humour involved we just had to turn around and find this cache. Quick find once at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next cache on our list.

Thanks wyrdsister !! Fav Point !

Nice spot for a break and a cuppa

Caching buddy: Muggle Husband, Nymphad0ra
Such a cute cache !! My muggle friends loved it

Thank you wyrdsister, for creating, placing and maintaining this cache. I have enjoyed finding it and visiting this spot.

No tea break for Rebel Acts, and l this morning as we were running late, we did manage to score some awesome ginger biscuits later on. Seeing all the favourite points we detoured to check this cache out it was found and the gumboots were not needed.

Out for another days caching with Tiz13, the weather was perfect and we had plenty of laughs along the way as we picked up some caches to help complete challenges and a couple of oh yes puzzle solves.

This is one of the caches found today. This cache kind of made us late for a meet up but the favorites on it had us intriqued.

Thanks wyrdsister For the cache.

TFTC

Second find for the young fella, he liked the container.

TFTC! Super cute container. Slightly waterlogged but log still holding up

Cute, TFTC!

Quick find. Fun cache Thank you

Tea break... TNLN

Driving down to Waratah Bay to camp for the labour day weekend, I had a look at my route on the geocache app before leaving and decided on this one as my first stop along the way.

I parked my car a little way down the road and wandered over to it. It didn’t take long to find the very cute cache nestled away just off the A440. The cows in the adjacent field were very curious as to what I was doing. Got it signed and replaced as new.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, it was a lovely little pit stop to stretch my legs.

Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the logbook nice and dry.

Cache is in place. Artwork has been moved by council but no doubt it will be back.

We can't find the cache we need help

TFTC! 8 January 2023 11:16:39 am 4621
Thanks for the cache, a quick find! On our way to Involoch today.

Spending a few days on the road with Wilbert as we travel to and from the Whittlesea Mega event.
Having a great time finding an array of different types and D/T rated caches.
Thanks to all the CO’s for hiding your particular cache.
Day 3 and we’re hunting LGA’s today.
My apologies for the boiler style log.
TFTC

Mega in Whittlesea is done! Today we are going around Melbourne doing LGA's and labs. Pretty cold today, but good caching.
TFTC Wilbert67

It's the first full day hanging out with Big Matt, cruising around seemingly arbitrary bits of outer Melbourne and beyond ahead of the [Whittlesea Mega-Event](https://coord.info/GC8EW40). I've been reasonably ignorant about the plan, and given I'm also the least familiar with the area, I'm not driving, so willingly along for the ride.

This part of the world sure feels like a long way from a big city, and we're jiggling and adding to the plan as we go, ensuring we tick off the goals we want - namely doing the LGA and highly favourited geocaches at the moment.

Parking was just up the side street and I was immediately perplexed by the pile of junk in the gully. After some investigation it made sense. Locals have added to the sign post, thusly named. However, recently someone has clobbered the sign and it's a pile in a half-full-of-water ditch now. Disappointing, but still made sense in the end.

A short walk up the road, through long grass and high, flowering weeds to GZ. Once nearby, Matt spotted it and walked the long way around. I crawled in and grabbed the container first. Cramped, I handed him the logbook to sign. Also nicely thematic hide too! Replaced all as found just before 14:00 and we're off to the next. Thanks for this geocache, wyrdsister

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12055.

Captain Terror and I were out and about finding caches and ticking off LGA’s and we visited this spot. I had to explain to our you padawan the meaning of the name but we made a quick find.

Thanks wyrdsister for the cache.

Really a mom and dad- cache! + favo. TFTc

Out on a run down south. What a great cache. A simile and dry feet. Thanks for placing the cache.

What a great find! Log book is wet as it wasn’t put in the plastic bag.

The cache popped up nicely as the hide was half full of water (now emptied)
We have a similar hide in SA

Wonder how many of the young whipper snappers get the ma and pa reference

TFTC and greetings from Tassie

On our way to Alberton. We stopped at the new and fancy Caldermeade dairy farm. I liked the road sign here.
We removed a pile of rubbish someone had poured out of their car ?!
Farm next door to the cache were taking their children/grandchildren for a ride on the tractor.

Can some please pass the tea bags!

Today's adventure was to go geocaching (yes, that means FTF Hounding) down on Point Smythe near Venus Bay. Also to collect whatever other caches caught my eye on route and while there. Looks like 13 caches found and only 1 DNF.

Second cache of the day, and I'm sick of driving past this Green Geocache symbol on my map and not stopping. I suspect I have time to collect it, without worrying that the FTF will be taken. Pleased to change it to a now.

Funny reference the I got after finding the cache. Bit of water in the outer container, but otherwise all good here.

Thanks for the cache Wyrd Sister
Hunter

A quick and easy, novel find.
Luckily we are of the vintage to remember the black and white comedy movies if Ma and Pa Kettle.
Appropriate next to Kettles Road!

… we unfortunately had to pour ( ironic!) some water out of the container.
Log and all was dry inside though.

TFTC

Way harder to access than it should have been - don’t go in from side, go around. Ah, what was I thinking! Many scratches later saw error in my approach Not a hot day so water only lukewarm but emptied anyway. Tftc and for making it so cute

Good hiding

Love the spot

Found at 11:41 AM GAFF3 - not that the hint was of any use
Nicely themed cache container and even the street sign was suitably themed Water was in the outer container, but the log book was dry.
Thanks wyrdsister.

Off to Nyora for an end of year event .. took the opportunity to grab a few caches along the way. Although still early it was already very hot. Turning into Kettle Rd was a good idea as there is a parking spot ..looks like the locals have had a bit of fun with the road name too…the cache was a quick find nearby .. thanks wyrdsister for placing the cache

Tftc

What a great hiding spot and so appropriate for the area. Definitely the Geograndies favourite so far, thank you

Noice

What a great little container! Giving this one a favourite because of the container it’s in. Managed to avoid getting wet feet with a jump and then a quick stroll to the cache. Log is in excellent condition and all is good. Thanks for the fun

###**CACHE OWNER PLEASE NOTE**###

Based on the last two logs it would seem all is OK with this cache., so I am wondering why it is still Disabled?

Please understand it is a CO responsibility to Enable the cache - see here: [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235)

**I have done this for you on this occasion.**

Today, RoamingHowie and I decided to go and explore part of Sth Gippsland.
Nothing wrong with this cache. Both the container and logbook in good condition.
Love the theme and the pole over the road.
Thanks for your contribution to our gameboard, wyrdsister

This was my first weekend in Melbourne for months, owing to some birthday and other engagements. Saturday was free however so I teamed up with OzHockeyChick to go exploring for the day.

Thought we would check in on this cache on our journey East. The cache is in great condition and the log book is fine with plenty of room. All signed and left in good order. A great themed pole on the opposite side of the road here matching the road and cache name!

Thanks wyrdsister for the cache.

Nice funny idea. Watch out for snakes in long grass! Tftc

Has turned itself on after covid disabling. Needs to be checked as I dong think ot has a log will head down tomorrow.

A nice pick up while I add to the collection

#17370. On the road with Robmc and on our way to visit awphoto at Fish Creek. Having cleared the city we stopped for a few caches along the way.

Ha ha. Well done. Really liked this one. We chuckled when we pulled up and saw the connection. A nice hide too. Favourite point for the fun.

Thanks wyrdsister

A trip to Fish Creek to visit awphoto with BettyBoo3747.
Collected a few odd caches on the way down (many still disabled unfortunately).

We wondered about the cache name until we came close to GZ - very cute.
Liked the community art, but particularly appreciated your contribution.
It was a bit damp inside (about a half a cup), but the log container was dry.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice hide

Covid restrictions eased, new log book in place.

Due to Covid 19 im disabling my caches.
STAY AT HOME.

We were on the move again today with ilook4geo and just picking up a few caches along the route as we went. This was a nice easy cache to find and all was in good condition. The outer container needed to be drained out and there would have been enough water in it for a cup of tea. The inner container and contents were all dry. Loved the cache name and the container being good to the local theme. Signed the log, put everything back as it had been found and headed off again. Thanks go to wyrdsister for placing this cache.

Heading for a different campsite today with goingplaces2. Wanted some caches to keep the streak going. This was one we picked which was found, signed and replaced. TFTC.

Cute little cache, glad the grass has been mown! Glad to have this one after driving past it a million times. Happy leap day and TFTC! ️

found it, playing some golf today at Lang lang gc. Got this one before hit off. Tftc

Awesome cache! My 6year old loved this cache.
Thank you.

TFTC. Nice easy find and a cute presentation of the cache. Definitely need to park in the side street though. Good Fun!

Nice quick find, enjoyed the theme. Now need a cuppa ️ Found with the whole family including Tiahman after a weekend camping.

Gorgeous one! Very clever

A day out caching with ahomburg, where our main aim was to head to an event in Bass. We picked up whatever we both had not found, and whatever else took our fancy. Thanks for placing the cache wyrdsister, I had to groan when I found this well themed cache.

Date: 1 January 2020 Time: 1:57 pm
Find #10810

Headed out again today with beckNmonts a little later than normal due to a later night last night. Aim was the event in Bass and anything we liked the look of along the way.

I wondered what the container was all about but on the way back to the car notices the theme. Nice one

Many thanks to wyrdsister for the cache. TNLN.
