MONOPOLY Geelong Edition - Corio Corio, Victoria, Australia
By Darth Briji on 30-Aug-14. Waypoint GC5AK74

Accurate coordinates made this a quick find , log damp and full needs replacement . Thanks for the cache

Log is unserviceable , (soggy and full ) needs replacement

.

Very cute and unique little cache. There was only a couple more spots to sign on the log we looked all throughout the car but sadly we didnt have anything to replace it. TFTC

Bit wet, but still here. Spot on co-ords. TFTC

Had to be careful that the owner of the tent didnt return after the game. Nicely hidden.

After we found it, we had a local confront us about why I was there.

In Geelong to attend a few events today. Grabbing a few caches in between, even though it is a cool day.A quick find for another in this great series.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Once I heard the Geelong Christmas event dates had been locked in, I booked my accommodation for the 2 nights required at Little River.I headed down last night to save the longer drive this morning and also I could get a sleep in as well.I woke up to a rather damp morning but that has never put us Geocachers off before.After the Morning Tea event I got a message from my caching buddy Gemma Sistema that she was one her way down to Geelong and it was time to catch up.Life has got in the way of our caching days out together so it was great to catch up again and head out for a few laughs.Gemma drove us around today and I was supposed to navigate, so what came out of today is that Im a lousy navigator so it will back to the driving for me on our next adventures.The lunch time event and CITO have been done and dusted so now to find a few more till we all meet up in Little River for tea.Im slowly ticking off the Monopoly caches that still remain on the playing board and the last time that we were here the footy was on.So nearly a drive by today and a family cache was soon located.Thanks Darth Briji )The Monopoly Guy) TFTC.

A caching day in Geelong for the Christmas festivities! Meet up with Posums who Ive missed heaps as its months and months this since we cached together. Couldnt attempt this last time as footy was on so nice to get the easy smile today! Cheers

With a dinner event in Geelong, I came early to grab some caches beforehand. Nice quick find.Thanks to ?? The Monopoly Guy ?? for the cache.

DNF

Thanks

Tftc easy find forgot the pen at home but already have the final coord location

Found after the conclusion of the Sunday morning football games. Pursuing these Monopoly hides, I’m meeting many new local football clubs!

Cache is in good knick, with original log sheet still included. Though it’s a pity, because at some point, the clue itself has been removed.

Good hide. Log was dryish but too fragile for my pen. Didn’t see clue etc but had fun finding it. Thank you

After not finding it last time, I’m happy to report a find today! Have no idea how I missed it last time. I guess proper daylight helps.

GPS was spot on but unfortunately log was damp and torn. Had to be super careful not to damage the log further. There was also no Monopoly clue.

Quite a lot of rubbish around this area so if you come looking for this one it’d be a nice idea to bring a rubbish bag and pick up a few pieces to bin. Let’s help keep our world greener!

Thanks for the cache!
Peace, Tara

Found 4.00 pm Monday 23 January 2023.

Took nothing, left nothing.
Geocaches found: 9

Gotcha. Wet log

Didn’t find this one today. Fair bit of rubbish around and the daylight disappeared too quickly for me to have a proper look. Will try again in the next few days.

Nice quick find for us today!

Another quick find before bed tonight another of the legendary and disappearing Monopoly series. SLTNLN TFTC Glad to have found another piece of caching history ️

Found 16/1/22

SL at 6:30pm. After I dropped Ms_AmaraTay off at home from the Wangaratta Mega event, I wanted to do more caching! There really is no place like home. Had to wait for muggle kids who were playing a bit of kick to kick to move before I could approach GZ. TFTC!

We were in Geelong running some errands in an area that we don't usually visit. While across this side of town, we decided to grab a cache, and this is one of the excellent Monopoly series that we haven't found before. We parked nearby and took advantage of a break in the sideways rain and hail, and wandered across to GZ. Having looked for quite a few of these caches, we were not disappointed when we found the cache. It was another trademark Monopoly cache. The cache is in pretty good condition. Thank you for this cache Darth Briji.

Thank you to all who have found this cache and enjoyed the Geelong Monopoly Series. I really enjoyed creating this series and loved reading the logs of those who left one. Sadly, I don’t have the motivation to keep this series maintained anymore therefore I will be archiving it over time as they disappear.
Thank you once again to all those who have found and enjoyed this series
Cheers,
Chris

East find - but clue for the monopoly was missing

Quick stop on my way to work. Found this quick enough. With all the litter around I'd assume this was a popular place to be. TFTC

All good here. Tftc

TFTC

My very first geocache. Very excited to find it. TFTC.

Yeah my frist one now for the next one

Grandson found this one with Mrs VP4. TFTC

Found today at 1305 TFTC.

Found at 2am! Easy and loved it

Just picking up a few more of the Monopoly series while in the Geelong area. No problems in finding this cache with ilook4geo and both names were noted on the log. All was then put back into place to await the next caching visitor. The container and log were both in good condition. Thanks go to The Monopoly Guy for placing this cache and for the series.

Doing some caching with goingplaces2 around Geelong and decided to pick out a few Monopoly pieces. Cache found, log signed, all replaced. Job done! tftc.

Caching on the Australia Day long weekend. Attempting to increase our find rate today. This cache was a quick find after parking here to use the comfort station.

Thanks for the cache The Monopoly Guy

Out on one last great caching adventure before Zedaycee returns to work. Anything to work towards Tally Tiger's goal of 1,000 caches in 1 year!

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Quick easy find. While on a break. We having a caching day for the Australia Day holiday

Thanks for the cache. The Monopoly Guy

**# 26024** Found on a cloudy Spring day for a drive down the freeway with MrsRoosta.
We had a stopover near here for the night before departing overseas.
Many muggles around today and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache Darth Briji,

Now I've found at least one of each colour it's time to go get the final. In saying that, this one was missing it's clue but I'm thinking I might be able to trial and error my way there. I must admit that I've always had some preconceived ideas about this area but actually coming here today gave the impression that it's really not as bad as everyone says. On a nice sunny day like today it was just like being in any area of Geelong. TFTC

Log itself is in place but the clue has been torn off at the top

Torn off clue doesn’t warrant a needs maintenance. Log and cache still in place and clue will be in another cache.

Quick find with no one around. Tick one more off to find.

Early start to what I'm hoping will be a productive caching day

One of my favourite hide types a BIAT. CIGC TNLN TFTC.

Making our way from Geelong to Altona for an early morning Event and thought we would just pick up one last cache in Corio before we left the City. Another one in the Monopoly series that we missed on our last visit a couple of years ago. Remedied that this morning after finding the well camouflaged container and SL at 8.20am #6489 A dull and cloudy day greets us on Wattle Day, the first day of Spring and Father’s Day. Let’s see what adventures we can get up to today! TFTC The Monopoly Guy

Another one from this series this time hanging out in Corio on an overcast morning. tftc

Very smart

Found on Tuesday 16 July 2019 at 11:50:36

Another one of the list

Another insurance claim and contents have been updated and are now fresh and new and are now in place

Found cache very quickly. Completely empty apart from the earwigs.
Tftc

No log, lots of earwigs

A very unsatisfactory geocaching outing with the GeoFamily. We'd previously attempted Ship Spotters #5 (fishermen), The Quay to Woody Chips (some young men wrestling on the path!), Ship Spotters #3 (not sure if this is a DNF really - where I guessed it would be it wasn't) and The White Road (muggles parked right where we needed to be). So off to a more predictable cache in order to finally register a find.

We parked on the wrong side of the fence for this one, at the Shell Club. But it was an easy hurdle to overcome before making our way to the GZ. The cache was spotted very quickly as we had guessed what we were looking for. Hooray hooray hooray! But then Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh! The cache was full of earwigs ewwwwwwwwwwwww! - masses of them. So gross. There was also quite a bit of water in the hide, that I tried to tip out while avoiding earwigs. I can't say that I was terribly successful though. So - earwigs galore, water, and no log Normally I would have added some paper to use for a log but as I couldn't get all the water out I decided it was best not to.

TFTC anyway!

Easy find after the third time lol. Tftc

Nice find

Found hundreds of earwigs, girls screamed, and signed the temporary piece of paper.no number clue

NGPC Youth and Angel Boy doing Monopoly Geelong edition in one day. Great fun. Thank you.

Found with teamashy. Very quiet here this morning. Walked to gz. Looked around before the cache was spotted. Lots of earwigs in the container! Signed the piece of paper and returned as found. TFTC

Found with Thomo31. TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1600. The original log and clue have gone, and there is only a single sheet temporary log in place, without a zip-lock bag, to keep the earwigs company. Enjoying the series though. Our thanks to Darth Briji.

Tftc. This cache needs maintenance.

Found cache but without any contents, signed piece of paper and placed in cache. Could use some maintenance, tftc.

wowwee nice hide. big spider living inside. got quute the fright tftc

Easy one and so cute with the monoploy stuff in it

Knowing what we were looking for here meant a quick find. We are slowly picking off this series, but don't get to Geelong very often these days. Thanks for the hide.

Quick easy grab

Another find by the McPhail family

Nice and easy cache

Thankfully no one using the field while we were here. Do enjoy these monopoly caches

On my home after a long night and I decided to get a couple caches. This one has been on my radar for a couple of weeks so I finally decided to go and get it, even at 1am, it was still pretty easy to find but definitely a good hide nevertheless. I'm keen to continue on with this monopoly series!

It was towards the end of a long and gruelling day, well past 8pm, when I realised I hadn't found a cache this day. I'm in the middle of a "Every Day In April" challenge, and this one was close by. Got changed and prepared to depart, when SueHut decides it's a good time to have a chat about stuff. Three hours later, I'm finally jumping in the car... 15 mins... must hurry... running across the footy field... it's here somewhere... 2 mins to go, where the $%@# is it?!? Ah, bingo! My watch says 11:59. Ok, so my phone says 12:01, but I'm going with my watch on this one...
Thanks again, Darth Briji!
