TFTC super clever - took us a sec to figure it out! Bit tricky to get out but ended up just getting it with a stick - thanks again
Yep the fence hint is what eventually solved it for us. Even though we took the long way to it!Nice hide
What a great little cache. Almost logged as a DNF but we persisted and spon had it on hand. TFTC!!
Definitely off from the coordinates, but exactly where youd expect it to be haha what a fun hide!
With intermittent rain we set off to search for this cache. Spent some time looking with no leads.Just needed to step up the type of searching and we found it. Very good. Continued on with a nice satisfied walk. TFTC
Had logged the dnf and was about to leave but then my friend tripping and pulled it out
We blame the 3 hour time difference for taking so to find...will take us a few days to adjust.
GPS had us scratching in the wrong spot - much easier when we widened the search thanks to other comments. Great hide!
Great one saw the paper from the inside of fence on the outside little look camo on the outside. 2 fences
We have tried to locate this cheeky hide twice before. Today we finally found it. Thanks to a previous comment.
Easy find. On the road side of the fence about 5-10m from coordinates Happy hunting
This one has us up and down, in and out and round and round. We found the co ords about 4 meters off and this one nearly beat us.
We signed the log between muggles walking the oval. TFTC

While in Sorrento for a family gathering, I snuck off and grabbed a couple of caches.
Reading some previous logs steered me in the right direction, and I soon had the container in hand.
Thanks AussieGuy007.

After a while we found it. Hidden in places in plain sight. The cords are a bit off. Hint:woody

arrived and thought we were on the wrong side of the fence but were actually on the right side. what a cute little cache! unfortunately we didn't have a pen to log it TFTC
We are staying in Rosebud for a few days, and after exploring Point Nepean today, I decided to ride back while the rest of the family drove.
This allowed me to search out a few caches and complete an AdLab.
This clever little hide was retrieved and signed without needing a TOTT, but wouldn't have been located without reference to previous logs. As others have mentioned, the coordinates are a good 5m out and the correct fence must be ascertained.

Coordinates were slightly off but I still found it in the end. Cache was placed very well and required some clever thinking. TFTC
Second time lucky!
Would you believe we poked and prodded the same area yesterday to to avail .
Perhaps a bit of recent movement made it a little easier.
GPS about 3mts out for us but the clue will help.
Thanks for this tricky little cache.

Thanks for this tricky little cache.
Spent about 20 minutes searching, poking and prodding both sides of the fences within about 5m each way of GZ. Lots of long grass and litter in the area- as well as recently cut down branches. Wiggled and jiggles some things that looked out of place, but they didn’t move.
Didn’t have time to stay longer.
Will return another time.

Just checked on this cache and it’s still here ready to be found again!

Ok this one is tricky. The cache is actually about 5m from where GPS says it should be. The hint is ‘fence’ but which one??? Widen your search area. It’s also a micro, not a small
*The Mornington Peninsula Valentines Adventure #1*
Off on the king of date days with SueHut.
First cache of the day, and we were nearly stymied! We had two GPSes going, and found ourselves at a very likely location. However, that was *not* the location. There is more than one fence in play here, and it's best to think of this cache as a "micro", not a "small".
Still, three stars on the cunning factor.
Thanks heaps, AussieGuy007!

Walked around and about the fence then saw something a bit out of place which led us to the container looks like the lid is missing
Was down at the Quarantine Station for a Junior Rangers event, decided to cache our way home. Found by the minicacher -- #99 for us! T4TC.
Found by Bob at 1305
I was a bit confused by the 'special tool' requirement and it took me longer than necessary (focussing on the wrong type of hide) before I discovered the fairly normal cache in a typical spot. I didn't require any special tool to extract the log and I was a bit surprised to see that the last log entries were back in March 2022. I think the previous pair of logs were for a different cache, the pic is certainly not of the log sheet for this one.
Thanks again AussieGuy007

On reading the last log entries for this cache, I guess it's possible I found the original cache - the log sheet had quite a few entries. oh well, I'll keep an eye on this and see what others turn up.
New cache replaced so all good to find again! Hint updated and also the cache description updated as well so you’ll need something to retrieve the logbook out of now!
Had to replace it quickly as there was a training session on the oval for a kids cricket match so had to be in stealth mode for a few minutes while replacing the cache. Which was better than the helicopter arrival on Tuesday afternoon when I tried replacing it a few days ago!

I was just about to do a replacement cache this afternoon but saw two police cars on the other side of the oval and one of them drove around just as I had pulled up and told me that they had a helicopter arriving on the oval so I couldn’t be in the area at the time. So I’ll come back this week to replace it.

Sorry for the delay as I’m just waiting on new supplies for my cache. I’ll be replacing it as soon as I get the parcels delivered.

With an event on Elephant Rock that look amazing a crew of Neville_devil, AusFox;, Dromaniax and Donutholes was arranged for an early morning ferry ride and a day loaded with caches. Key caches were targeted for their D/T ratings and other because of the degrees from home for other challenges. Then there was also some unloved that was begging as well. All up it was a fantastic day with great mates with caching providing a good excuse to be out and about.
Given the environment here I was happy to come up with the goods here pretty quickly.
Thank you AussieGuy007 for the hide

It was an early start to the day as Donutholes, SimsFamily, Dromaniax and Neville Devil all met a 7am at the Queenscliff ferry to make our way across the bay to Sorrento.
Dromaniax had kindly offered to take there car across.
The caches we visited were all signed as NADDS to take up less space on the log sheets.
This hide was found quicker than expected, considering the location.
Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the Traditional Cache AussieGuy007

Out on a adventure with AusFox, Dromaniax, Sims_family and Neville_devil on this beautiful Sunday day!! We took the ferry across from Queenscliff to attend an event on this side of Victoria and decided to collect a bunch of smiley faces on our way. Sims_family came up with the goods on this one Log signed as NADDS. Thanks for the hide!!!
It was a very early start as team NADDS headed off for a caching expedition on the Morning Peninsula. Team NADDS consists of neville_devil, AusFox;, Donutholes, Dromaniax and Sims_family. Go NADDS. We had put together a list of caches we wanted to target, and we were also happy to pick up other caches along the trail. We were blessed with stunning weather, and it is always great fun to cache with a group of mates. We caught the first ferry across and picked up an Adventure Lab, and then started to work along the East Coast. We found this cache in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache AussieGuy007
We came to the nearby lake for the last day of the Aussie Backyard Birdcount then came to find this one. Quite sneaky, lucky the geokids were with us. TFTC
