Tirhatuan Wetlands in the wetland Rowville, Victoria, Australia

Its time to let this one go and let someone else place a cache in the area

Checked what looked like the right spots. But couldn't find anything...

Looked around and even climbed the tree. Couldn't find it. Nice area tho

taking offline, based on the DNF's it shouldn't be hard to find, so suspect its gone. will have to think about it

Had a look around in the only obvious spot but could not find it.

We searched for some time but the cache wasn't in the only place it could have been hidden around GZ. The ants weren't too happy as we made sure it was gone....

Lovely quiet spot with nobody around today. Long walk in from a family picnic round the other side of the park. Thanks for the cache.

Found! TFTC

Found @11:58 #5496
On a short run thru the 10k this morning in an attempt to reduce the numbers... This one was exposed and spotted from a distance so left some added camo to help it last. Nice peaceful area with signs of upgrade works in progress.

TFTC Pinkpiggy7

Added some more natural camouflage

Easy find today this one was a little bit to exposed so I added some more natural camo. TFTC

Had a nice walk to the cache.. Actual cache was out in the open. Put it back to its spot with the hint as a reference.. Hope was the right move.

Spending a nice afternoon with my GeoHubby, visiting and exploring places close to home.
Found cache on ground in the open; replaced it according to hint.
Tftc which brought us to this gorgeous oasis

Another quick find in the area after grabbing another cache in the area, the cache was soon spotted and logged, thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache and for bringing us here.

After a nice walk from nearby cache the cache was found very quickly.
Cheers for the cache

Thanks again guys, quick walk and nice place... Thanks for brining me here.

Muggles and their dogs abound due to the perfect dog walking conditions today. Had to hang out for 5 minutes before i could hit gz and sign in.

All quiet in the wetlands and a quick find on a hot day. TFTC

Was quite oblivious to these wetlands before today. It was raining when I set out from the gate so changed to better shoes given the long grass, and hoped it didn't get any heavier. Cache was quickly found as GPS led me right to a likely place and it wasn't 100% concealed when I came close. Tried to improve on that situation upon leaving. Thanks Pinkpiggy7!

TFTC. Decided spend some time with granddaughter caching around Rowville/Dandenong Police Paddock. Successful day with a haul of 6. Granddaughter (Spannerandgang)had a great day and learnt a bit about observation. Handy having a youngster around a playground as well.

This one got me started with Geocaching. Thanks

Out on a bike ride with OzHockeyChick on the lovely stinking hot arvo of Xmas Eve and we came across this little number on our map. Nice little path and great little hide....

Out on a very hot bikeride with 88andy88. Saw these were nearby, so slight diversion on the way home to grab these two. Nice location! [^] Thanks Pinkpiggy7!

A nice walk, I should have picked a cooler tone in the day tho :p

Picked up a little bird for some company.

Came to this one to let a bird out of the hand. Picked up a koala tftc

Out and about running all over the country side doing chores and finally got a chance to grab my cache for the day to maintain the caching streak.
A beautifully warm spring afternoon for a walk in this magnificent park/reserve/wetland. After stopping to admire the huge goldfish in one of the lakes I eventually arrived at the GZ for a quick easy find. Took my time signing the log and stuffing a TB into the container whilst enjoying the view. Serenity.
Thanks for placing this cache Pinkpiggy7, a favorite for me.

Dropped TB

So this is the first remotely decent day for a while so I teamed up with geokid 3 to get some of the caches around Rowville. This one was number 3 on this outing and proved to be an easy grab as the cache was out in the open, no doubt it wanted to soak up some of that winter sunshine as well.
Log signed and unfortunately for the cache its time in the sun was soon over..TFTC..☺

Another day caching with the Thommo clan and we came here.
My teen used to do Little athletics with the Waverley squad and we would often be here during the winter months for cross country training..
The kids had the cache in the bag..
Thanks again Piggies

In the area today with a hi_pressure cache and a Pinkpiggy7 cache our targets we thought we might grab this one while in the area, a lovely stroll my geochildren enjoyed the duckies. Geo daughter spotted this cache a mile off it was very exposed. WE have left it less exposed.

First time to these wetlands, thanks for bringing me here

This was a great little spot, I loved the area here and enjoyed my walk along the winding track amongst the wetlands. I have visited the parklands on the other side of th creek but have never been here.
Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for the cache and for bringing me to this lovely location.

Came past here today after work. I was well aware of this reserve as I have played the adjacent golf course numerous time and a friend lives in one of the house closest to the cache. Parking out the front of said friends houses it was a short walk to the cache after circling GZ making one wrong assumption the cache was soon spotted in an unexpected place. While the cache appeared to be in good condition it is very exposed if viewed from certain angles. I will be back to get the other cache another day TFTC

On my way to finish off a multi in the area and just couldn't pass up a nice little walk. Lovely little area here and nice walk around with the ducks. Nice easy find, very exposed.
Thanks for bringing me to this really nice area Pinkpiggy7

.

My first one!

Came to grab our cache a day,didn't bring repellent and nearly got carried away by mozzies, TFTC

Second was easier

Steve & Steph, Steph and Steve took the longest possible way to get here, even considered swimming the lake, lol.

We found the cache just lying on the ground so we put it back where we think it might have been.

Found it while walking my dog Harry. Lots of frogs here.

I decided to head towards my tonights basketball game extra early and find some of the nearby caches within my 10km zone. It was a pleasant afternoon / evening, so why not.

Now on the way home, time for a walk and warmdown after the game. about 50m from GZ, my GPS decided to stop responding. luckily I was counting steps towards GZ and found the cache in the first place I looked.

Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache. TNLN

Hot day ahead so we were out early for some caching. Great walk around the wetlands or maybe it is mudlands now.

Easy find just off the walking track.

Enjoyed the walk through the fenced area surrounding this wetlands. The call of birds were loud and mostly in response to me disturbing their afternoon feeding. Approached GZ and quickly had the cache in hand. The area was completely muggle free so took some time to enjoy the area.

Great place to hide a cache! Thank you Pinkpiggy7.

Out on a Sunday evening bike ride with poptoppete trying to find a few cache. Was a tough night for finds! Tftc

Evening ride with Gunks, more riding than caching on this trip.
TFTC.

Wow this really is a bit of an oasis tucked away in suburbia. We saw three different types of birds that we didn't recognise. Will have to come back on a cooler day to explore more. The cache was in a nice hide.

We were out and about today with The Drovers picking up a few caches we continued a pleasant walk here from Ashbrooke reserve. We could here muggle voices but soon realised that they were coming from the nearby gold course and weren't able to see us and a quick grab of the cache was made and our names were added to the log.

Thanks for the cache

Headed out with Team Crackers, to pick up a few caches in the area.

We enjoyed the stroll, in this very quite area. Cache was located quickly.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Pinkpiggy7, for us and others to find.

After the 'fun and games' searching for "Circle of Life" and the other Wetlands cache, we approached this cache with trepidation. However, we could see the container from twenty feet away. Once the log was signed, we ensured the container was properly covered. TFTC

Found with jimbojones889!

I headed out to do the "the body " cache today, so I found myself in this area.

I nice short walk around to this cache,

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 [:x]

My extraction tool = geoboyfriend. Too scared to go any guard spiders that may be near by!

Found it easily. No pen to log the find. Thanks

Geokid hit send earlier. We did find it though, beautiful day for a stroll around. Thanks

This neighbourhood and park is a pretty area. Interesting to see what happens when the council lets you build anything - you get all shapes and sizes of houses here (as opposed to modern developments where the rules are strict and you pretty much get the same 5 houses repeated street after street). Anyhow the cache: a nice stroll around the wetland area and it was soon spotted, high and dry. Thanks for the nice placement Pinkpiggy.

Working with wildlife everyday this was a great place to come before work..great birdlife, so it gets a FAV from me,Nice change from the city magnet hides and buildings to hunt around,WELL done.

Another lunch break and another square on our project that was needed for Spiffy- and I. With less rain of late we decided the wetlands would be the target. Made our way to the park then a 200m stroll to the cache. A simple find and we dashed back to the office. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache

With a lot of days needed in October to fill my calendar my buddy and I headed out from the office at lunch time to this relatively new cache. We parked near some lovely houses and wandered into GZ. A very short search later my buddy had the cache in hand. I did the signing duties and we headed back to the office.
It was quite a nice day, would have liked to do a few more but oh well...
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Out with the Geowife on the hunt tftc and all the efforts.

In the area tonight with Dunko, decided to wander the wetlands and collect a couple of trads, Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the time out SL

While we were in the area for King Arthur, we thought we should pick up this hide on our travels. TFTC TNLN SL

We found this cache today at 4:30pm as number 2 of tthe Rowville 5. We swung the car around to a better entrance point from the last cache and enjoyed the late evening walk along the lake. The water level in the lake was quite high and lapping onto the edge of the path in some spots. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Found @ 2:16am, find # 3636.

Tonight, biggles1024 and myself aheaded out for another night of adventure.
After the previous find, we moved around to another entry point, from there it was a nice little walk to GZ where the cache was spotted upon approach, the log was signed and return with a little more camoe.

Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.

On our way home now, we stopped to grab this pair of recently published caches.
This cache was an easy find because it was visible from around 10m at night. I added as much camo as I could before we left.

The container is a small, NOT a regular as per the guidelines.

Good find

Gone for a walk after work the Mrs
thought we pick up these cache
Nice park for a walk on such a lovely day !
Thanks for the cache and all the caching fun

I was not far from the area sitting in my bus for a few hours on an excursion, a quick chat and my caching buddy picked me up and we soon found the cache, Thanks.

With two caches popping up in this park, they had now become closest to work at 9 km away. Chatting on facebook, Rebel Acts stated that he was on a school excursion at a nearby farm and would love to take time out for a lunch break. Only having his bus available as transport, I suggested that I pick him up when he starts his break and drive to this cache given he was half way there from my work. So we ended up here collecting both caches. A nice reserve for a lunchtime walk and chat. thanks Pinkpiggy7

Thought I might have had my first Ftf but was beaten by 11 minutes (does first to log online count )! Cheers anyway. Lovely spot!

Woke up this morning to find it in my inbox and not being published till 2342 thought I might have a chance for a FTF, so after dropping kids off at school detoured here on way to work, originally thought had to access through golf course but decided to explore a bit as there had to be an easier way as the straightest is not always the best option once found way in we found track to GZ quick find of cache revealed empty log book yes another smiley and another FTF for me, TFTC Pinkpiggy7 find #537

Saw this cache get published so decided to grab it while I was working in the area today thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache and for bring me to this wetland as I didn't know it was here really nice to here the frogs crocking.

Published

When this popped up in notifications i thought it would be found quick smart. So when it was still there this morning thought why not have a crack. Still no logs when we arrived so surprised to find it had already been found. Congrats to the previous finders and thankyou pink piggy for bringing us to this lovely nature reserve.
