Rembembering The Fallen- Garfield Garfield, Victoria, Australia
By Pinkpiggy7 on 17-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5GMGW

That was tough, took a while but got there. Great hiding spot

Harder find than expected, took a good 40 min. Well worth it, well hidden from view.

Thanks for the quick and easy grab! Thanks for find 325!

Found it TFTC

Who would've thought that Garfield was this busy? This is my second visit, with the first being many moons ago. After sitting around and waiting for a gap in the daily trade, I made the quick find. Thanks for placing it here!

Nice quick find. TFTC

Found by The EmpireThe Empire cruised across Victoria's vast landscapes, a journey fuelled by anticipation and the thrill of reconnecting with The Rebel, their paths converging in a legendary meeting and a Parma at the pub in Warragul.As I drove further east, I passed through several small towns, each with its own unique charm. The lights of the towns twinkled in the evening dusk, adding to the picturesque journey. Entering the Gippsland region, the landscape became even more scenic. Rolling hills and lush greenery stretched as far as the eye could see. The winding roads required more attention, but they also offered breathtaking views at every turn. I rolled down the windows slightly, letting in the crisp, fresh air that was invigorating and refreshing. A quick find whilst in the area. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7.-M

Quick little pack and grab! Cache and log all in good condition. Thanks for the cache!

arrrgh so many people in Garfield on a gorgeous Autumn day. Finally found after Mt Cannibal walk take 2 - luscious lunch at Una's and then the coast was clear on my way homethanks so much for your cache Pinpiggy7regardskbucky

Extremely waterlogged, replaced log and container, all good now..... Had to outwait a muggle for 20 minutes, but got it done.

Found it but its completely waterlogged.

TFTC. Its a bit wet

Didnt find it

thanks

Still road tripping in the east and caching too with Jack and Purrfect Di. Australia Day, Invasion Day, Survival Day, Annoyed 'cos u can't buy an overseas made aussie flag day = Much Confusion Day ... whatever you're celebrating or not, it's still a day for caching! Just remember be nice to each other and respect the many varied views. Every day is Caching Day - so off we go!!! [:o)]Started the day raining in Lakes Entrance, ended sunny in Ferntree Gully Cats cruising down the highway. See a sign to Garfield... Couldn't resist !!! Not muggly today - folks celebrating elsewhere. Nice quick find. Lest we forget. FAV - just 'cos it's Garfield Thank you Pinkpiggy7 for this cache hide and ongoing care and maintenance ---------------- ----------------------In a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and solid caches falling from trees - - - a cache a day keeps us agile... sort of --------Caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp ) Work gets in the way - and some may take longer to log than others due to mixed technology and need for sleep! The skill and talent of some Zenior Zombies helps, and maybe a spot of luck too [:o)]----------Cache carefully and make sure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on Clean as you go and cache the countryside Big thanks to those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas, in nice safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun for all Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!! Maybe not though - as someone actually did read to the end and alerted me to just a project GC badge that requires long logs [:o)] Well at least it's not as bad as finding a mint tin! Did you get that... stop putting out rusty mint tins, just stop it, now!!! C'est fini... For now... ... until tomorrow! Viva Mexicana ! Thanks for the caches beyond the wall [:o)] PS:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GCA1DNA - Great Leap Forward ... or is it backward... it takes an extra day to get to March 29.2.24 The Mega Leap Event of the year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And don't forget to put the SA June Long Weekend in your diary for 2024 too... fun and funky finding with a little competition too

Didnt find

2nd cache find for the day with mum! Note: the logbook and swaps which are inside was soaking wet so may need to be replaced.

Definitely out of practice. I said it looks like it's there, then didn't find it. Immediately genghicat reached into the same area and found it. ... well nearby. Signed on a lovely summers day. Garfield looks like a nice, country town. Must revisit sometime. Tftc

Nice hide with the little one

I

Great park and grab

Found this one a long time ago but was visiting with a friend and ran into Albert. As huge Lego fans, I had to take Albert home and will find him a new home.

Maybe someone has taken it I was really hoping forward to this.

Was visiting a friend for brunch and thought I'd grab a cache.Dropped off a TB too.

Found this one today with the Geokids. TFTC.TALLY HO!!!

Working my way towards geocache number 5555 and still needed a few more geocaches before heading for my target cache.

Second visit here and the GPSr was still pointing everywhere. But thus time the only local was engrossed in her phone. Eventually found it.

Thanks for the cache Pink Piggy 7

Travelling home from bunyip this morning, so stopped by and replaced container. Looks like this is turning into a local bmx track, may need to move it.

Took us a couple of minutes to find this one due to a heap of people leaving the Pub. TFTC

We decided to duck out for just a few caches this morning with ilook4geo before packing up camp and moving on further west. Garfield war memorial is already decorated with many red poppies in preparation for Anzac Day. They will be remembered.
Thanks for this cache go to Pinkpiggy7.

Just wanted to do some caching this morning with goingplaces2 before we changed camping spots. Garfield already has lots of red poppies in place ready for Anzac Day. TFTC.

Thanks for your service guys

Stopped at Garfield for a little break. Nice little town to wandering around during wet weather. Found it without muggles notice it. All good. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.

Great spot my little nephew did a good hunting skill

??

Found it

Found it!

After a small injury to a finger while looking in almost the right place, this one was found in the most sensible of places!

This was the second of today's Garfield trio for me today and the one that caused me the most trouble. After checking everything I could think of within a 10-15 m radius , I finally spotted the stash at 15:40 not too far from where 2upoj was telling me it would be. [8)] Oh well.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Pinkpiggy7.

Found it with dot558 detoured after visiting cousins in area

After a trip to see friends detoured to find the geocache with rex46

TFTC JENPETEH, The H,s , South Africans living in Tassie GeoCaching our way around Australia and loving it

Was hot n bothered not able to find, took a seat to test before journey home when bingo are you there TFTC

Found with O319. TFTC

Quick find with SJG66 TFTC.

In one last big day out for the year, buhfuhguh and I sent off 2022 with a trip to Warragul in the morning before gradually making our way around to Hastings to secure some of the last Community Celebration Events available to us alongside some miscellaneous local hides.

Having completed the nearby SideTracked cache, buhfuhguh was just about to head back to the car when I mentioned this traditional on the other side of the carpark.
Turns out he'd found it a while ago (and hides his finds from the map) but was happy to revisit it.
With my lack of satellite view, I took us vaguely in the right direction and saw a distinct possibility that looked as though it could take some time to comb through.
However, the giant's memory served him well as he directed me somewhere a little further over where the container could actually be found!

Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for this placement!

Took a while for me to find good hiding place. No good geocaching in thongs haha. Thanks for the cache. Xx

Thank you for this series. Great hiding spot great fun.

As we stopped for the other just near by we thought we would have another go at this one, today it was a quick easy find as not raining or in the evening. Now to go to the Family Christmas BBQ. TFTC

Lol... I think this is the second time I have searched for this cache.. I think the first time I took the hint very literally...this time I think I understand where I had to look and what I had to do, but the cache still alluded me then the downpour won.

In Melbourne to attend the Mega at Whittlesea with tmann421.
Enjoyed the short trip around locating a few caches before heading to the event
Log signed tm/ww NZ
Thanks to the cache owners for the efforts with the hides

Arrived in Melbourne to attend the MEGA Event at Whittlesea with woolwood9.
We came over a few days before to do some geocaching in the area first!

ww9 and I had a great time and this was a cache we located.
Starting to drive back towards the city, then onto an event.
Pleased to find this one quickly and in good order - had a DNF here last time in the area (2015)

*Thank you for helping to show us around different areas and adding to our enjoyment*

Couldn’t find this one

TBS has had a pretty good day locating most of the finds first today.
After a well deserved cold drink we noticed there were two caches very close. After a bit of a search TBS soon had the cache in hand.
TFTC a lovely little town

After enjoying the hospitality of the local hotel and logging our finds for the day, we wandered across the road to grab two nearby caches. After searching for about ten minutes, I was ready to head to the car and off to our accommodation in Trafalgar when I thought I'd check one last spot and sure enough, there it was. Nice hide TFTC

Unfortunately we didn't find today.
Gps kept bouncing. We will be back again. DNF

GPS wasn't much help her today and lots of options but I eventually found it.A small war memorial here but still significant

Taking alt road to g kids evening performance . Tfth.

We are on our way to Bunyip for an event and looking for a few caches on the way. This was a quickish fins at GZ as the afternoon sun seems tb disappearing. Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

Another whistle stop, another reminder of the price of freedom.

Oh, and another smiley. Quickly uncovered once the arrow of the GPSr settled.

Thanks, Pinkpiggy7

As the (adopted) owner of one of Melbourne's SideTracked caches, how could I not attend the anniversary event in Bunyip?

Also, how could I not get sidetracked on the way?

Sunshine's on the way, right?

Anyway, after collecting a couple more in the series and then, appropriately, getting sidetracked one more time by a fun set of trail caches when I was most of the way to where I'd arranged to be picked up in Pakenham, n0w0rries ferried me from Hallam to the event.

Of course via the SideTracked cache in town.

A very interesting day in what some people call the outer Eastern suburbs of Melbourne! We worked on collecting more senior karate belts, searched for bunyips around billabongs, remembered the fallen who had served our country in wars past and tried hard not to be side tracked by those interesting old stations.
Neat little diorama's nearby.

Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing caches in interesting locations.

Found on our way home from am event in Bunyip.
Lest We Forget.

Our first cache for locus cache and me on our way to an event in Bunyip this evening. Thanks for placing it here.

Good hide. Thanks again

way too exposed a location to do a proper search - will have to come back at a very different time of day some other time

Found it. Good spot to put a cache. Just passing through TFTC

Time to head home from this road trip. Stopping along the way in Bunyip, Garfield and a few other spots as well as a late afternoon check in at Lysterfield.

I stopped in at the car park nearby and wandered through this park and memorial, making a quick find soon after.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Found with GeoHubby TB142. TFTC

Took about 5 mins to find. Found with geo wife kezza 1211 tftc

Nice one

Good

It no there

Thanks

Out and about with Kidner Boab first fine for the day. Just sprinkling of rain but we are not daunted. Plenty of options to look at them here and the local local had an interest in what we were doing very friendly happy to Lisa Scott. Thanks for bringing us here this place has changed a lot since I was to come here some 40 years ago

Out and about with my chums Echidna44 and Xambo4u, we stopped here to see if we could find the cache. Fortunately this chap was discovered after a short search.

Out with xambo4u and BoabTree today to complete the Auslan puzzle series and some other caches in the Garfield area.
Always good to pay respect to the fallen. A well placed cache in a lovely location. Thanks Pinkpiggy7

Time to go up to Erica. Considering the event near Mt Erica on Sunday.
Collected a few caches on the way today. Been a while since I have been out this way.

Although it was around lunchtime, there were very few muggles in the area. I found most of them in the Cafe across the road later.
I have not noticed this memorial before.
A quick find and sign.
Thanks, Robmc.

Find number 10247 at 12:07:35 pm on Tuesday the 1 February 2022
Had to find an unknown and a multi today to work towards filling calendar day finds and I spotted this outlaying group of caches what would satisfy my needs. There was also the bonus of solving one of the very few day1976 puzzles that I can understand let alone solve
Busy street this morning, oops, afternoon, but no real issues making the find unobserved.
**Thanks for placing this cache Pinkpiggy7**

The Main street was bustling today when we arrived. Made the park and short stroll to Remember our Fallen. Had a scan of the area as muggles passed by. When clear started the search and straight away got lucky. Log signed and back safe again.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7

After attending an event at Mt Cannibal, we had enough energy left (just) to swing by Garfield and collect a few caches. Garfield is a town we have always driven past, but today we had the opportunity to stop & check out this quaint place.

Not a quick find. We started at the wrong elevation, then the penny dropped regarding the clue. Nice hide.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache in this wonderful ‘Remembering The Fallen’ series. Good to see you today too.

Lest we forget.

Found with Squiiix after attending the Mt Cannibal Event. This was a nice quick find in a deserted town on the Boxing Day Public Holiday.

Thanks to PinkPiggy7 for placing and maintaining the cache.

**The Adventure:** Out caching today with Snips and Co. This morning we attended the event on top of Mt Cannibal with a group of friends, who all had the same idea as to grab the caches in the nearby town of Garfield. Snips and Co parked her trusty geo-vehicle in the perfect spot so the diners at the pub across the road couldn’t see what we were doing. Nice hide, like it belongs there.

Thanks PinkPiggy7 for placing and maintaining this cache for our geo-enjoyment. We have found others in your 'Remember The Fallen' series. It was nice meeting you today and discussing the ‘weathering’ of our knees! Cache on

**Took:** nothing **Left:** nada
**TBs:** Visited Kitty the TB.

Hand sanitiser was used before and after accessing the cache.

LetThemEatCache thought this was going to be tricky, but luckily she was out with me and my terrible parking concealed us from the peering eyes in the pub. A peaceful place to remember, lest we forget.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 (it was great to meet you today too!)

Back in the game

To many people are finding our caches in breach of lockdown provisions, disabling until things are open again.

Found by H and L on the 1/7/21. Super hard! We were looking for ages!

A nice quick park and grab to start the day .. nicely hidden .. thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing the cache.

Rock and roll we found it !

Here today to watch the She Lads, a Mothers Day show at the old picture theatre. A quick find before returning home.

Found with tassie expat while visiting Garfield. Sneakiness required. Tftc

Garfield was our target town for today. frmen1 and I had a look around without touching anything as muggles were everywhere. Went down to get the three in the rec reserve and walked back to have another go. It took a few minutes of just looking before going in for a quick grab. Putting it back took a little longer. TFTC

A very get park and grab.
Nice chance to pull off the freeway and stretch the legs.
TFTC

Found it yay

I found it it is very fun

Will come back once I’ve had some more practice, hints and past finder notes has me lost

Didn't find it. Bummer!
