Nice spot TFTC!

I was on my way home to prepare for the COTY awards but not before grabbing one last cache. This series is slowly disappearing so a great chance to nab this one while it is still around.Thanks RikkiJayMudd for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

TFTC! 24 October 2023 10:06:08 pm 6273Thanks a quick find one the way home from Geelong.

Cache checked. All good. Tried to find a nicer spot for it, but ultimately realised that Astrocat123 had made a good choice.

Thank for such a cool cache! The only problem was that we couldn’t get the log out to sign it.

I can really appreciate the effort that’s gone into setting up the different cache containers for this series. I believe this is my last one! Though there was one I’m yet to try and find after a spate of DNF’s.

Well done to DarthBriji on your comprehensive efforts here. They are still popular targets, but I can certainly understand how upkeep would amount to a lot.

TFTC was on the ground. Reattached to something prickly.

Hello Darth Briji thank you for the cache

Another great cache I love the theme.

This was one of many caches found on our way back home from Newcastle seeing our grand children.

Yep great cache and not easy to find but as usual persistence is my friend

Found with Swampy. Met Snap Happy at GZ

I was about to call it after searching the wrong places when some bloke turns up asking if we were looking for a geocache. Turned out to be Snap Happy and we had a quick chat.
Cache was found, logged and returned. I believe I also took away something I shouldn’t have…. Still think there is a bit in my finger.
Thanks for the cache and good to meet you Snap Happy!

Well there is a new challenge souvenir out for this month and my caching buddy Gemma Sistema hit me up to see if we could have a fun day out and find a few caches to help us hopefully reach the target required.
Today was picked and after throwing a dart at the map Geelong was soon picked out and we then picked a place to meet up and here’s to a fun day out.
Time to find a few on the North side of town as it was the middle of the afternoon and it gets dark early.
Another one of the Geelong Monopoly caches found and I wonder how many more I will find on each trip down before they all disappear off the map.

Thanks The Monopoly Guy TFTC.

Found on a caching run in G town with Posums. I’ve these ones. Surely I must’ve found them all by now?! Ha ha. Thanks for the cache

TFTC. First monopoly find

Choo choo
A roll of the dice saw the train stopping here on the game board.
Tickets stamped.
Off to the next stop.

Found you !!!

??

Quick find.

Very clever

Off the boat from Tassie, grabbing breakfast, then on the road again.
Decided to stop and nail a cache in an LGA not done before.
This was a cute cache in the end (after wandering around for a bit to find it).
Cache is in good condition.
Thanks for the cache!

E of iTEEM had a wedding in Sorrento today, so I dropped him in Geelong to catch a bus to the ferry terminal at Queenscliff before work.
A quick stop here to search for this one, and find it I did, but on the ground. After signing the log, I placed the nicely themed container in a likely fashion given the attachment.
A few muggles about, but I was able to reset the cache without looking too suspicious.
TFTC Darth Briji

Prickly but a quick find ️TFTC

I had a great time finding your cache Darth Briji, thank you so much for placing it.

Nice hide, bit prickly and wet getting to it. TFTC

**A quick cache run to Geelong**

Out and about making the most of the sunshine on a sunny but cool winters day.
Grabbed a coffee nearby and then headed off to grab a couple of caches and some photos. Had the place pretty much to myself today. Cache was found quickly with good co-ords. A bit prickly reaching in for this one but found the novel, appropriately themed container.
Thanks for the cache Darth Briji and for series. Appreciate your efforts.

No go today

Took us a bit longer than it should have…. Good nice novel container… how appropriate at Nth Geelong Station.
We are certainly enjoying these special edition monopoly caches
TFTC

BOOM!!! TFTC #240!!! Wrapped with that total! It's taken me 3 years but finally I have the opportunity to get out fairly regularly. Was a relatively quick find, another piece of caching history from the Geelong Monopoly series... Many thanks for the hide and cache and your long time efforts and service to the caching community with this series... Did not sign log as Law Enforcement were getting curious so will return to stamp my name another time...

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

What a cute container. Thank you Darth Briji for placing and maintaining MONOPOLY Geelong Edition - Nth Geelong Station for us to find today.

Find # 1068.

Hi there Darth Briji, we found your cache MONOPOLY Geelong Edition - Nth Geelong Station today.

A nice, quick, find while touring around the area close to where we are camped.

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
This cache wasn’t in the location it should have been. I have returned the cache to where I think it would have been before.
Cache is in order, no muggles about.
TFTC

Great cache. Nice easy find. Tftc

We were confused to start but we understood when we saw it

Thanks for the cache

Low muggle area, very busy traffic so had to be careful of that. Thanks for the cache

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

It was a cold and wintry afternoon in Geelong. We realised that we had parked within meters of this cache when we were doing the nearby Adventure Lab. We packed the geodogs into the car and then set about searching. When you are looking, be careful of your eyes as there is some boxthorn quite near GZ. There is also evidence that people can be disgusting pigs as there is rubbish all over the place. We did a bit of rubbish removal while looking for the cache. We found the cache; we love the thematic hides in tis series. The cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache, Darth Briji

Another one we completed after completing the Adventure Lab nearby. Took a while to find it, but it shouldn't have!

At this time of year we usually pack up and head off for 6 months, chasing the armer weather. After being stuck at home all last year and not enjoying the cold and wet weather all that much we are looking forward to getting away this year even more.

For a change we thought we might roll the dice and try spending some time in Victoria as we have not travelled here to much and know there is plenty to see. A short trip to Geelong previously led us to decide to return and spend more time. Hope the weather is kind!

We mentioned this to our good mate Rebel Acts and he decided he would join us for a few days. A great bonus, because as a true professional he has an unbelievable searching sense and is a puzzle solver extraordinaire. Our puzzle solving ability is slowly improving, but we still need to call on him regularly for assistance.

We even managed to catch up with Suscoe and Bushfire, local cachers of renown and lovely people.

A nice little handmade cache. Fave point added for creativity.
Cigc. Tftc

Sean.75 had his hands on this one while we were looking elsewhere. Lol. Tftc

We snavelled a park nearby and walked our way over to this one. We were throwing around ideas on where it could be hidden, we were all wrong. Tftc

Got it. It’s a busy area but no muggles today. Tftc

Found by caughtatwork at 14:40 on 14/03/2021
Another simple, but prickly find and another great container in keeping with the theme.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for hiding or placing this geocache at this location for us to find, for without those who hide there would be nothing for those who seek to find.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice and easy find! I think there has been some pruning in the area so I could spot the cache from the path. Thank you

Found by Mary and David, with GeoJo, at 16:45. A lovely afternoon, and after doing some nearby Adventure Labs, we paused for this find on our way back to the car park. A great way to finish the day. Our thanks to Darth Briji.

Great cache container! Now to do the rest of the series

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

That was a bit cute!

Bit prickly!

Took me a little while - upon opening the cache a little garden spider took me quite by surprise! Toot toot indeed!

Got stabbed heaps by the bush but hey that’s just part of the fun and games hah, loved this one

1st ones on the new log, yippee.
Cheers.

A flying trip through Nth Geelong en route to Melbourne this morning saw me driving last this one. A quick double park right at GZ, in and put in moments.

Thanks The Monopoly Guy for placing this Micro Traditional - this is find 1598 for BFMC

Time table all sorted and now running back on schedule.

Knew what I was looking for and where but couldn’t come up with the goods

A slight detour on the way home from Geelong to collect a clue for the souvenir and the series. It was a relatively quick find and a well shaped container. tftc

On my way home from a weekend away. Pulled up almost next to this one, but for some reason the little bugger eluded me, at least for a little bit. Eventually found this well designed cache. Nice container! Tftc

Chugging along this cold mid winter morning with kangas11. TFTC.

Stay in Geelong for the weekend. Day 2. Accompanied with theashleys7 for caching day to do the Monopoly series. Found it. Thanks The Monopoly Guy for bringing us here

Very clever thanks had the pleasure of a Geelong Melbourne bound train go past as well

Took a while to find due toa GPS problem with my phone, which eventually sorted itself out. Had to look a little higher than expected. Forgot a pen, so didn't sign.

TFTC

Parked across the from this one and waited for the lights to change and waited and waited..... should have worn my hat. found the little train easy enough took a photo of the clue now to wait for the lights again. TFTC

Nice construction. TFTC.

Down here, staying in the area for a family 80th birthday. I was up early this morning which gave me the perfect opportunity to grab a few caches more around the centre of Geelong, before there were too many muggles about. While it was very cool to start with, it soon turned into a lovely morning.

Another quick find made here, with no muggles about, so had a free carpark and no muggles about.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the start of 2018 my average was only 47 words per log, which seems a long way from the 100 target. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 7000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 50 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Thanks Darth Briji for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

On the way home from an appointment in Belmont, followed by lunch at Western Beach with HerIndoorsOutdoors this was a quick pull in on the way home.

Didn't take too long to find this one. We liked the camouflage, which looks a bit worse for wear, but the cache itself was in good condition.

SL. TFTC The Monopoly Guy.

Nice cache!

BendSinister and I arrived here but couldn't spot anything, then I saw it.
Construction is really awesome!
Thank you

What a good cache. Toot toot thanks for the cache

Unfortunately only here for 1 day so no time for a series. Case seems to be broken. Tftc

Found by The Empire
Staying in Geelong for a Friday afternoon wedding, always time for some sneaky finds before it all begins. I spent my morning cruising around inner Geelong, finding some really good caches. My thanks to The Monopoly Guy for the cache.

A quick if prickly find. Nice work

New Log in place with clue

I was here early in the morning to escape muggles attention. Still the lights are bright and there is a lot of traffic going past which ups the anxiety a little. The container was empty so I added a new sheet and signed. TFTC and the series.

Yup. Gone. Just gonna have to sit tight until the GEO-insurance comes through.
All these claims... my premiums are gonna skyrocket this year!

Didnt find this one. But think it may be due to extensive removal of vegetation including the decimating of a peppercorn tree around gz. Works due to construction of a much wider footpath in this area. Would suggest CO check to see if this needs to be disabled until works are finished and a new cache and location can be organised.
Tftc

Sound like the home wreckers are back... will eventually check up on when in the area again

I snagged a park right near GZ. Love the cache camo. Thanks Darth Briji, great series.

A nice quick find for this one, cute container! A great one for the new geocachers with us TFTC

My kids loved finding this one

Awsome find
Love this series. Tftc

TB visit

New this cache was hiding where it was just had to wait for less cars around. TFTC

Yep

Hot and horribly windy, not nice at all at the tracks, but a cache to be found so it had to be done
Many thanks Darth Briji from the Wacky one
