On my way home from Pakenham, I thought I would continue the detour and venture to RJ Chambers Reserve. Glad I did. TFTC Pinkpiggy7
Found after a bit. If you are coming on a warmer day, wear enclosed shoes and be careful for snakes!
A nice quick park and grab today.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.
Took a bit to find this one as the coordinate is a little off, but got it in the end.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Bit of a tricky one to find, but found it none the less. Thanks for the cache, made some swaps. Xx
Not sure Geo instincts had warmed up this morning ...just like the day that was overcast. But what an awesome locations ...I was here on other Geo matters but went for a wander to find this and its sister cache. Took me a few circles before I spotted the hide. Cache and log in good condition.
A disappointing DNF which left us feeling dumbfounded. How is such a big container hidden so well?!
After a long 30 minutes trying to find this cache snithies outback gear and myself finally found it. Cheers for the little challenge
Well this one had SearchingForMacca and myself searching for a bit, going back and forth seeing what was in the picture. We eventually found it after a fair bit of a search. Nice Hide.
Out and about playing with my new car, stunning day for a fun drive and cache grab :3
It sure IS there, this is my second crack and km not sure WHAT i was thinking the first time.
Simple hide in a lovely spot.
I didnt explore today as i walked here from pakenham in a trainings pack hike, fair to say i have some work to do haha.
Nice spot thought, TFTC PINKPIGGY

Search high and low unfortunately couldn't find. Fairly sizable tree coming down right over where gz seems to be so may need checking.
To many people are finding our caches in breach of lockdown provisions, disabling until things are open again.
Down here at this lovely remote reserve waiting on my hiking group to arrive. And to my joy there are a couple of geocaches here. Found this nice size container in at hiding place. Tftc pinkpiggy7
Left one of my painted rocks.

Great weather and a free Sunday so decided to go caching with some geo friends out East.
This one was a quick drive by on the way further south.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

Out on a Sunday hopefully to put some smiles on the map, also trying to get through my solved puzzle list.
Always great to out caching but even better doing some caches from one of the nicest Co's I have ever met, Pinkpiggy7 is an absolute gentleman.
Container and log in good condition.

Found at 2:53 pm.
After a weeding CITO and another event this morning it was also earth cache weekend and I was lucky enough to join up with Papi4506 & OzHockeyChick and we headed out to Narre Warren to continue our days adventure. It was fun with each of us getting some caches that either one of both of the others hadn't found and could laugh at each other (I mean help each other) find the caches.
We were driving past here and the others were lovely enough to stop so I could find this one. Didn't have time to walk into #2, will do that another day.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

An interesting reserve which I would not have discovered had it not been for the caches hidden here. This one took longer to spot than it should have. In good condition.
Such a nice location, easy find before a lovely walk in a sunny winter day TNLNSL TFTC
Caching day with crank1 after been to an event at Emerald train station. Nice weather today. Easy to find. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing the cache.
We know we have been here before but have no idea why we didn't find this one. Found on this visit as well as a couple of lovely Jacky lizards. Unfortunately as we only had the phones, the photos weren't great but good enough to be able to identify them both. Seems that one was an adult and the other a juvenile. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

SuperPop had come down to visit us for a few days and even with the forecasted unpleasant weather we were determined to try and get a few caches for the day before the heat really set in.
We lived in Guys Hill for many years and knew of this reserve but had never taken the time to go and visit it so now with two caches here we had a lot more incentive to come and have a look Although the evidence of logging is still here it's great to see the reserve slowly coming back as nature intended and being the home to such a wide range of birds, although on our little walk today we didn't see any birds or any wildlife at all for that matter. Perhaps the heat had kept them a little less active today but we were very happy that we didn't come across any wiggly sticks.
We enjoyed the walk to gz, most of it was in shade and once at gz the cache was found quickly as it was sitting out in the open quite exposed. We think a previous finder may have been a little enthusiastic with retrieval but we added our names to the log and rebid the container as we think that it was meant to be.
Many thanks Team Piggy for showing us this area but at this moment we are more interested in getting back to the air conditioned car.

I had been over in Officer for an "all day" meeting that actually only lasted until lunch time... so that left me with some cache hunting time on my way home.
Having tried (unsuccessfully) for an intermediate point nearby that is part of a long-range Multi, I moved on to this cache. A quick and easy find in a rather quiet location.
Thanks **Pinkpiggy7** for putting this one out there.

No body around today so it was an easy walk around the park signed and replaced thanks Pig piggy 7
Kids and us came out on an overcast day and found quickly found this. The kids and us had carefully picked out swaps before hand and made our picks. Loved it. Thanks guy's
Well, what can I say other than I have been very very inactive that last couple of months couple that with some lack of logging from the past couple of geocaching days it equates to me not having done anything at all really....... but I digress. So today I woke up a little early to e sure that both the food and some caches could be found before I head off to work tonight. Today was a rather successful day with many finds. I do apologize for the generic log but am rather mentally fried after my third-year uni exams. Thx for the cache and the lovely day.
Out with Yorsys today collecting a few bush caches. I remember doing the the first series of these caches many years ago. This time around i could follow the needle on the GPS straight to GZ for an easy find.

Find # 1641 at 14 March 2018 1:01 pm while out with The Swaggies. We were heading down Shelton Rd but was stopped in our track as the road was blocked by some incident with a couple of prime movers and a trailer. So detoured to these couple of hides.
Inch ants are NOT FUN. Raspberry Moo had her first experience with these nasty insects whilst looking for this cache. Luckily I had some ice from my drink in the car, so first aid was issued promptly. Left it at just this one as a result - willl have to return.

Out on another caching run. Out for 6 hours today for a total of 12 finds and 1 DNF.
It would seem that you're in Canberra doing my caches and I am here doing yours!
This cache saw Raspberry Moo get bitten by inch-ants whilst looking in a distracting nearby location. Boy, was she in pain!
She almost lost the plot, but we made a stop for ice and still managed a few more caches thereafter (phew!)
A nice reserve.
Some interesting spots. However, 1 leech and 2 inch-ant bites, along with the requisite number of grass cuts, thorns and associated stick-bites made it a memorable experience once we hit the showers!

This reserve is located in Upper Pakenham? You sure its not Pakenham Upper.
Parked within 20 meters of this cache but still took way to long to find. I was following my map program which turns off was about 10 meters out. As soon as I started following the compass, got to the gz and the well hidden cache was found.
Now to explore the rest of the RJ Chambers Flora and Fauna Reserve
Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7

Day off so I headed to Fountain Gate for some shopping, I decided to take the long way and get some caches on the way.
Had trouble last time I was here. Couldn't spot this at first but this time my foot found it.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Today we explored Packenham Upper and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. Took a while to unearth this one, but we got there in the end with Mrs "T" sharp eagle eyes.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Nice place for a walk, never knew this place was here. No muggles around today so made for a nice quick find. All in good condition, TFTC!
This one has us scratching our heads at first. After some investigation we decided to resort to the hint, and even then we wandered around for a while. We eventually found the cache just were it should be
Thanks again. Hopefully some more caches appear/reappear in this park. I think it would be a nice place on a cool day.

What a lovely summer day for a walk in a lovely reserve. Apart from a group of three walking their dogs (dogs not allowed in the reserve), we had the place to ourselves. Blue pin cushions and fringe lilies were the wild flowers we saw the most. After our walk we had a picnic lunch once again we had the picnic area to ourselves. Found the cache in the obvious spot and in perfect condition. Thanks to the pinkpiggies for bringing us to a reserve that we hadn't been to before. Cheers. Bwbandit
Went looking for my old enemy, but it no longer exists. Found this guy pretty easy though.
Eventually found. Had to look from the correct direction after the geokids gave up.
This is a great little reserve, and one that I hadn't realised was here. It was a quick find and with the log signed I set off to explore it a little further. Thanks to PinkPiggy7 for the cache.
Found this one at 15:40 while on the way home from today's bushwalk via a nearby trig point (which I couldn't access ). A nice quick one and I was soon on my way.
TNLNSL. Thanks Pinkpiggy7.

The Chief was starting to find some form and snapped this one up while we were fumbling around in the wrong area.

Unfortunately we had an altercation with two dog walkers just after we arrived which spoilt the serenity of this spot. Will come another day to do the others. Looks a lovely piece of my bush.
Nice find. GPS was a bit confused but we worked it out. Left some goodies. Thanks for the find. The Kearney's
