An Unexpected Journey Berwick, Victoria, Australia
By Pinkpiggy7 on 28-Dec-14. Waypoint GC5JC37

Log Part 2 -Time elapsed - 35 minutes. Person B finally comes back for the whipper snipper. Then, you can see the spell get broken right there. You can see her wondering why she was there so long and is bemused as she picks up the whipper snipper and starts to walk back to their truck which is just outside of the park. And why was the spell broken? Enter stage left Family C. A man with three kids, one of whom is in a pram now have the spell firmly on them. As Person B walks away, family C are now on a mission to get to area 2 in a hurry. There can be no gap in time. And as they get exactly level with me they stop - right there - right next to me - right as the other person walked off - and they start to play - and I wait.Time elapsed - 45 minutes. I have walked away again. Finally, Family C start to break the spell and move away a little. Person A is still completing the other area that he left before. Person B is still at the truck. Someone is asleep on the job methinks. I now move and soon have the info for GZ - Area 3. I look towards that spot and there - are Family C now playing in THAT spot. And I wait.Time elapsed - 55 minutes. I am still at area 2 looking at area 3. Family C finally manage to break the spell and exit the park. The kids are probably asking "Daddy, why did you make us all stay in that spot for so long? and he probably replied "I don't know kids, I just don't know". Person B has now grabbed a blower and is on a circuit of the park paths but nowhere near Area 3. Person A has returned to finish mowing the first place that he left at the start. I walk to Area 3. Enter Bus Driver D - who - as I approach the area, proceeds to pull up in a bus next to the area and waits. Right there. I take a seat and wait. Person B then decides to very quickly make here way to area 3 also. She still has the blower, and whilst she has given the rest of the park a quick once over decides that a quick blow will not do for here, oh no, not here. These areas need blowing back and forth back and forth right next to where I am sitting. Bus Driver D still sits adjacent to Area 3. And I wait - until I crack itTime elapsed - 75 minutes. "That's it" I yell to no one in particular. "You win" and I start to stomp back to the car. Just at that time Mrs Rabbitto calls. It is getting way past lunch time and I explain the tale so far. She encourages me to maybe take a look back - and I do. Bus Driver D has moved away. Person B has too. I race back to area 3 and find the cache in the first place that I look. I log. I replace. Time elapsed - 80 minutes.I look up and all the spells are broken on the people around me. Persons A and B are back at the truck and loading up the mower as fast as they can. Why are they still here? they can't explain it. They should have knocked off over 45 minutes ago. Bus Driver D is probably getting a reprimand over the phone. "Why are you sitting there in that park? People have been waiting for 15 minutes" "I don't know. I am sorry, I just don't know. I can't even remember pulling up here"And thus ends the tale. Sound far fetched? Too wild to be true? Remember - this crap happens to me once in about 25 caches. Even today's tale should be about a 1 in 20,000 finds sort of thing but I throw 20 dice Yahtzees every few days. Thus ends another day in my life in geocaching.Today - I win.Thanks from D B-A

Whilst Mrs Rabbitto was at a local nearby shopping centre, I decided to have a look at three of the very few remaining geocaches that are sort of nearby and that I had not yet found. This one was the final one of them. Two things (of probably many) that Rabbitto is known for are -1 - Looking for and finding night caches in the day time - and2 - The inexplicable urge for muggles to feel the need to be exactly where we want to search for a cache, exactly at the time that we want to search for it and to be there in a way that defies all human logic as to why they are there and at the same probability of rolling a Yahtzee on 6s in one throw with 20 dice and then - continuing to happen over and over on an average of 1 in every 25 cache findsThis - is both of those storiesMy previous finds in this park were in 2008 and 2014 but surprisingly, it seemed that I had not attempted this cache for 10 years - so that would end today. I arrived at WP1 and to start the journey. I noticed that two council workers were in the park but well away from where I was for now but I noted that they may come into play later. They will be called Person A (man on a ride on mower) and Person B (lady with whipper snipper)I found and followed the first two trails with no problem. Time elapsed - 2 minutes. Time to find the WP1 cache. As I looked up. Person A had an uncontrollable urge to stop mowing where he was and come almost to the opposite side of the park and start finessing right next to where I needed to search. Person B then also stopped edging on the other side of the park and started again right next to me. Now these are smart logical people. They work in a methodical way around the park completing each bit as they go, doing it in the most time economic manner. They do NOT just jump to the other side of the park on a whim. (and I know that they were both NOT finished where they were because they went back there and continued on there later) - however the urges that made them come over to where I were too strong to resist and I am sure that they did not know why they were there as a spell was upon them. I decided to wait them out. Time elapsed - 10 minutes. Finally, after mowing and snipping the same areas over and over - yes, I was watching - the trance could not hold them any longer in that spot and they started to move away. I had since spotted the first cache minutes ago and I could finally go and nab it. Got it. On to area 2.Time elapsed - 12 minutes. Persons A and B had moved well away from both Area 1 where I was and Area 2 where I was going. Perfect. As I arrived at Area 2, the trance came over them once again and like bees to honey - stopped what they were doing and were back to me, one each side of the path and about 5m from where I was. Again, they had left bits undone where they were just to be where I wanted to search. I just want to know what it feels like for these people as they are hypnotised into doing this. I have found the first section but cannot start to search for the second part here. I have to wait. I look at my phone, walk away, come back, repeat. I pretend to start looking at something way away from where they are in the hope that they feel the need to rush over. Fools nobody. No one is compelled to be drawn to a place of a false search. They finesse, and finesse, and finesse going over the same areas over and over. Finally person A can handle it no longer and breaks off to go back and finish one of the areas that he was inexplicably drawn away from earlier. Person B also has nothing more to do so stops, again about 5m from me and stares up at a birds nest in a tree - for about 3 minutes. Then needs to go and talk to Person A - but - if she leaves - I can search. So - is compelled to leave the whipper snipper right where I want to go, then goes way over and talks to person A. See the cunning trap. If I go down there now, it looks like I am after her whipper snipper. So I wait.To be continued.....

We started our journey at the designated rendezvous point and followed those bright shiny things along a dark and lonely trail in the hopes it would lead us to the treasure. With each step, the trolls and goblins could be heard scurrying back into the shadows, as even they knew not to mess with us as we attempt to reclaim the lost Dwarves kingdom of Erebor.

As we approached the site of the treasures, our spirits were high and the smell of success was in the air. Unbeknownst to us, the evil dragon Smaug had placed a curse surrounding the area in the form of ‘simple maths’, a curse so strong even our elite army had no chance of penetrating its armour.

Retreat was our only option and enlisting more warriors were a necessity. After a week’s debriefing, our forces set out on a familiar path, the shields protecting us from the curse and our quest for glory has now been won!

A really fun multi PinkPiggy7. The curse of the ‘Simple Maths’ was a brilliant concept.

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.**

Came with PresDough and CeeJayDenno after the Christmas event. I love these night time adventures. I was a bit worried at GZ because it’s filled with mulch. But there it is sitting in place. Hint helped. I've now found 22 night cache.

I AM GUR

Back in the game

Found a new hide, updated final co-ords on the cache page, added a minor addition to the requirement at stage 3. All good to go

Driving by to a job today, and noticed that council were busy, chopping and cutting at the area of waypoints and final. Went back tonight and all Waypoints are still there, but the final tree has disappeared, found the cache, but need to relocate once council complete their work.

Well that was unexpected…!
PrezDough and I were chasing caches in the area and this showed up where we needed to do a u-turn.
As it’s getting dark, we thought we would attempt it.
WP1 was pretty easy and found with no trouble.
WP2 was pretty easy, but chasing red things was NOT easy. Couldn’t see them.
Fortunately we walked around a bit and spotted the next clue.
Then off to GZ for the final.
This was a bit of a dig as autumn leaf fall and cover has partially concealed the container.
But with a bit of perseverance we added our names.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 5 TB.
TFTC.

Found tonight with CJDenno. We had a head torch owned by CJDenno and my bad phone headlight. We followed what the description said and walked around the park. Thanks to the tree cover, we struggled a bit to look for the container at the end. We found the cache and went to continue caching.

+1 FP

I visited 4 TB

TFTC

Was advised that co-ords at stage 2 were saturated, have replaced and laminated. Final container chec ked as well

I really do have to get better at logging. I am almost 12 months behind. We headed out to attend the event by this CO then off to get this to fill calendar gaps for a couple of us. Thanks for the cache which was found, signed and rehidden. Thank you.

It’s Christmas Eve!!!! Tinsel is everywhere, Christmas trees are glowing on every corner and the faint jingle of bells on Santa’s sleigh can be heard in the distance. With a Christmas Eve event on the agenda and a free afternoon some pre event caching seems in order.

Well the pre event caching is done, the CECC is over and it’s time to head home. Not before I get a multi for the day that is and a night cache no less.

We began at the posted coordinates and soon spotted the reflector trail once we searched in a 360 degree fashion. The trail was well marked and led us along to the various waypoints. The last trail took a moment or two to spot. As we stepped a little closer the red reflectors were clearer.

Having battled with some pretzel caches earlier in the day, some more fighting with bushes was not a problem and the log was soon signed.

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

Mrs Papi was out and about and was able to fill the gap in the calendar for us. Thanks for the cache. Merry Christmas.

Back in the game

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

With beckNmonts as my chauffeur, I did some very late evening caching to pick up a few more caches close to where I was staying for the weekend. Took a little bit of scratching around to find this one after finally arriving at GZ but got there eventually. A fun multi to do, thx Pinkpiggy7.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for putting this 'easy to follow' night cache here.
Cache was found in good condition.
Chiefton!!!

Enabling caches again

Disabling due to the current situation

An unexpected journey for Firesafe and I today. Since the F1 was cancelled, we attened the nearby event and proceeded to collect some nearby caches. All good here! Tftc

Grabbing a few caches in the area after a local event. TFTC

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

Thanks for the cache pinkpiggy7. Was a good enjoyable multi. All looks to be good with the cache!

Great hide, loved the find! Thanks for bringing us here. Found with TroyfindZ. TFTC

Relocated wp4, updated wp on cache page, slight change to instructions, and all good to go again.

Relocated wp4, updated wp on cache page, slight change to instructions, and all good to go again.

Replaced missing Bison at WP1, checked the rest and got to WP3, no reflector on the seat, also no nano on the seat, investigated further and no metal on the seat, its now a plastic seat, council muggled our seat. Worked out what we will do, just need to get some supplies.

After the GIF a week or 2 back, received a PAF for WP1, happened to be a couple of minutes away picking up pizza, so went and checked on the way home, and it was missing. disabling until we can fix up.

Find #10513

There is a bit of a story behind today's caching run. Back in June, I was in Scotland and I signed a challenge cache that required me to find 20 multi caches in a single day. I initially thought I had qualified on a caching run a couple of years back in Geelong, but upon running the checker I discovered I was 4 short. Fast forward to today, quite carefully planned out was November multi Madness day.

The night time portion of this one had been completed a while back but I had not been able to find the container. Even today in the light of day it did take some time to locate. The unofficial CITO began here.

Many thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2019?*

A great multi, cache was easily found and is all good

Today was a good day out, made my way down to safety beach/Mornington Peninsula area for a CITO and event. Then headed back via some bike caches. All finished off with an experience with the police.

Second attempt for dad and boy, and with a minor hiccup we managed to complete this cute little night cache.

Thanks heaps to the CO, and for restoring WP2 to give us a shot at the smiley. Favourite given.

After last nights DNF I went out and checked this one, and the second container and it's dots were indeed missing, as this is not the first time, and with obvious movement of the rocks in this location. I have relocated and changed the nature of the second container. The difficulty remains the same, just a slight move of some 10 metres. Instructions updated to match the change.

Dad was well and truly bamboozled by two night caches this evening. Never made the GZ so we’ll log as a write note.

Started off well but we were nearing the first bison when the constabulary pulled up behind our car - booking somebody else for an indiscretion.

Waited til the flashing lights moved off before opening the treasure trove. But as we went to head to WP2, dad dropped the phone into the bushes.

Eventually recovered the phone and went searching around the area for the next container - rather than looking for reflectors. After some fruitless minutes we read the description and progressed - well, 5 metres.

Lost the dots, wandered around aimlessly and sought CO assistance as we limped for home feeling defeated. We will be back. Tftc

I was in the area and desirous of making inroads into the numerous multis so I began this one, not realising it was a nightcache. Some toing and froing resulted and I found the cache nearby. Thanks to PP7for setting up an easy and simple nightcache.

Unable to sleep and with lots of roads still blocked to the North and East, my eyes headed West.
Soon a night cache in Berwick was spotted.
I had tried this once before, but my torch went flat after only seeing 1 reflector.
Today with 2 torches, this was a nice easy night multi cache. Found at 3.20am. I will be back another time when the whole family wants to do a night cache, and not a DGS version.
Thanks for the cache Pink Piggy 7

After dinner this evening I came to this small suburban park to follow the small trail to GZ.
Cache found in great order without trouble
Cheers

After dinner at a nearby establishment, I thought I had better rectify my DNF on this cache. I knew I would be able to find it, due to searching the area previously (as in flat ground and a tiny walk). Thanks so much for placing this cache Pinkpiggy7, a great night cache! A favourite from me.

We stopped by to do this cache after the Christmas event nearby. It wasn’t completely dark when we arrived, but dim enough to see the dots.

The first bison was soaked and fell apart when we finally coaxed the clue out of the container. We were able to read it, but would’ve been no good to the teams coming to do the cache behind us. So we placed a temporary piece of paper with the next waypoint written on it. If you get found it logs after ours, then it worked.

Then we found that one of the double reflectors wasn’t attached, but sitting out on the path. Luckily we spotted both. Some maintenance will be required to attach it.

Finally, after a reasonable search we found the final gz, and signed the lovely new logbook.
Just as we were hopping into the car we ran into the next cachers, and explained about the reflectors. Hopefully no one had any trouble.

Thanks PP7 for another super cache! Have a great Christmas!

After a nearby event a group of us came to this park to do the nightcache. There were lots of kids willing to do the running around and climbing under bushes, so the clues and cache were all found quickly. I haven’t done much Caching with young children who are used to Caching. It’s a good experience and certainly helps break down barriers. Thanks for the opportunity to have such fun, Team Pink Piggy.

*23 Dec 2018, Found @9:43 pm, Find # 2319.*

I had contemplated doing this cache a few months back. In the area tonight and, so after the Christmas event a few of us decided to take a little unexpected journey before calling it a night. A good night cache not to short just long enough to keep the geokids interested.

**Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.**

At the nearby event hosted by this cache's CO, he mentioned that this was a quick 5 minute night cache. I found that hard to believe,despite him saying it was only a few hundred metres of walking. My experience with night caches is that unless it is new, there always seems to be a missing reflector that throws everything out.

Well not this time. GJMMelb organised a group attack on this cache, and were it not for the chatting and other social aspects, it really would have been a 5 minute night cache. However, I think with the talking and waiting for others, it probably took at least double that time.

This would definitely be the quickest and simplest night cache I've done - a great one for kids. Thanks t Pinkpiggy7 for setting it up and maintaining it.

Found on 23 Dec 2018 at 9:37 pm.
I am so glad I decided to go to the Xmas eve eve event because it made sure I was near here when it was dark otherwise I am never here at the right time.
A few of us from the event came over here and after badly following the instructions and my geokids putting me back on track we followed the trails and Muzza ended up making the find.
Good enjoyable cache to do as a group and the kids love a night cache, haven't done one for over a year so it was good to fire the torches back up.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

We had planned to do the Christmas event nearby and after having a look around at the nearby caches I realised that although I had done most of the caches in the area on a pas visit there was this night cache I had not done. I posted a note on the event page and as it got dark and the event wound up there was quite a few interested in doing this cache. I arrived with several other teams, just after another team had completed the cache. The first reflectors were easy to spot and we set off. Thereafter people wandered in many different directions before some read the instructions and we found the first clue. From there all went well and most of us followed along as the reflectors and clues were easily found (thanks fam_o_five). At Gz we stood around for a yak and the cache was soon found and signed by all. I think the whole cache probably took me about 30 min. which included time taken talking at each end. Good night cache for the kids (of which there were several) who seemed to enjoy it. Thanks Pinkpiggy7

After attending the Christmas event a number of cachers were meeting to do this mini night cache. A nice short and sweet walk in the park with a smiley face at the end. TFTC

Following the Christmas event there were quite a few heading down to do this cache. To my surprise the geo kids, who were usually opposed to night caches, said they wanted to go too. So off we went. The parking was nice and easy but was almost full and I am sure would be no problem most nights. Making sure to follow the directions, which was more looking for the torches of the group in front, but I wanted to try do it properly. We worked through the wp’s and made it to the end of this epic journey. The kids had fun and I did too

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the cache.

Thanks to Beckmonts for alerting us to possible issues and replacing wp3. Went for a check tonight and there were a number of reflectors missing, and also the final cache. All replaced now and set to go.

I think, I’m just having a bad evening here! . TFTH Pinkpiggy7

With the dark now light, Ana and I returned to finish the quest we had already started. Determined to find what had eluded us earlier this month, it did not take long in the light as it was half exposed and within the general vicinity of where we had searched. With a relieving sigh, we signed the newish log book and re-hid the cache exactly as it was found. No more blue faces here, only smileys. TNLNSL. TFTC. KKAms.

Needed a find to fill an empty spot in the calendar so thought I'd bring Kat and Ana out for their first night cache. After handing the reins over to Kat I waited for her to spot the trail, even though I'd already seen a flash at the start of the trail. With a little nudge we were off. WP1 was a quick find and the excitement was definitely building. Coordinates entered and we followed the GPSr to "0". With a swing of the lantern a new trail was discovered. But the end of this trail just seemed to stop, so we back tracked in case we missed something. Nope same ending. Not convinced this was the end of our quest I took control of the illuminant and was soon holding a new clue to this expedition. WP2 was quickly entered and the trek began once more. With the stars no longer visible and the GPSr now bouncing from 2m in one direction to 3m in the other, we had to make a decision, our treasure is here somewhere but where exactly. The darkness here did not make for an easy search even with the searchlight. After poking and prodding all of the places hands should not go, we were no richer for the effort. This one will have to wait for when the light of the night is turned to day. TFTC. KKAms

We had to come back in the daylight to find it but great find

Waypoint restored

Waypoint restored

the waypoint is indeed missing disabling till we can replace it

This one required a couple of visits. But we got there in the end. Found as Nicnax with SciFiRulz and WeRAmused.

Found with SciFiRulz and PapaGrouch. Last night we attempted the unexpected which turned out to be the expected for me. We found WP1 ok. Nothing at WP2...is it still there? Its only a small park so we walked around waving our torches to see if we could pick up the trail without WP2 info. It wasn't long before we had the final coords for GZ and waved our torches around some more in the search. Nothing found last night so we decided to come back in daylight today. Daylight makes all the difference and it was spotted easily after scratching around a bit. TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and WeRAmused. We attempted this one last night, we couldn't find the bison that was supposed to be in the tree, but after a bit of wandering about we picked up the second trail. In the dark we couldn't find the cache at GZ so we returned today in daylight to make the find. TFTC

Catching up on some logs....out with CashewMinx for this one and we thought we’d give it a whirl during the day. Found the reflectors easily enough so we set off. Easy find at wp1 so continued on. Slight hiccup at wp2 but hunted around and then found it. Set off for gz and pretty quick find. Thanks for bringing us to this great little park and for the unexpected completion in the daylight

Thought we would try to give this a go during the day and got lucky. Could still spot the reflectors even with a minor issue at wp2. Another beautiful park I never knew existed. Tftc and the journey

After almost calling it quits for the day, we decided to try this one while we were out of daylight and what better than to finish up with a nice little night cache. We dragged out our head lamps and torches and set about following then dots and soon had some co-ord's sorted and then off to the final gz for a search and scratch about. After a few minutes omegaman1971 yelled got it! and we gladly signed the logbook. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the nice little walk about in the dark. A great area to explore also.

Hitting the area with Happy pants to clean up some cache, After a great arvo of caching in the area and an awesome meal at the local burger place we made this our last.
Cool fast little multi surround by muggles.
Cheers for the cache.

What an awesome little night cache. I was concerned because it looked very close to the residents, and mucking about with flashlights might be frowned upon. The first stage I didn't even need it, and the next one was quite short, and the final was a quick find. This was short but sweet, I'm absolutely lovin on night caches ATM. TFTC

Enjoy this straight forward multi.
Found it nicely
thanks Pinkpiggy7 for bring me here and cache.

Found as part of WLC. TFTC

Was a great night cache. Perfect night for a walk in the park.

Day 3 of my week long visit to Victoria. Day 1 was spent driving over from Adelaide. Day 2 spent collecting the great Pretzel series, rectifying a DNF on the P.I.G. series which made the geoart complete and four of the five outstanding C.F. series completed. Only one left to complete that geoart as well.
No points for guessing the plan for the day then - get that final C.F. and get some of the nearby puzzles that we solved. Time permitting the NHL series and make our way over to Geelong.
As the late great John Lennon said, 'life is what happen's to you while you're busy making other plans.' Caching too -So here is what did happen! [:o)]
Having run out of time caching all day yesterday and last night the final of this cache was saved until this morning. Great coords made for a quick find. Thanks for yet another one pinkpiggy7.

A week of caching and this guy was on my list travelling through Werribee then down along the beach front to Beaumaris and then across to Tynong and then returning to Anglesea for the Surf Coast Mega later in the week travelling with my friends from S.A.
Our aim was to find five C.F. caches that we did not find last Mega, one PIG cache that was a DNF last year, and then attack the Pretzel Series and another 30 odd mysteries, multis and letterbox caches and if a trad crossed our path then we would grab it on our way past.
brisal5 had booked us into a farm stay cottage for a few days and as stated previously we planned to returned to the 2016 Mega at Anglesea. This week I have cached as Bushfire, GOTHS+1 ( I am the +) BAB and today BABS and must thank all the owners of caches that we have found for placing these caches to make this trip possible.
A week of laughs, some great company, some good food and wine and some great caches, what more could you ask for. OH I should also say a couple of DNF's, too good for us this trip, but if I live long enough I hope to return.
I was outnumbered this trip with the others all coming from SA but what a team.
It is great when you are in an area and staying a few days because you can find some of these guys. I wonder what we did before we had bisons and now mint tins. Well I know as I have been hunting caches since 2005 and they were just not around
Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache. It will be interesting when I next update my profile to see how many Pinkpiggy caches I have found. You are chewing up my F.Ps.

After a journey was undertaken and the cache was found. (Signed as BAB). TFTC. 10/11/16, 9:25 am Find #3133.

Third day at Melbourne - with crank1, We had a good fun - yesterday how come I didn't see the reflectors but today more easy spot... anyway my torch almost flat damn so followed crank1 - she found the cache. so happy to signed the log.

Very nice night multi - love it - Fav from me.

Thanks for organising the cache, Pinkpiggy7

We went there and It was fun at night luck no raining.
I dont know why we did not see in WP2 but found it.
But my torch become more weak, arrived GZ so use my iphone use as torch
happy that found it.
fav from me
Thanks Pinkpiggy7

With Everlasting
Found WP1 and walked to see 2 white spots
Been searched everything but can't find it so DNF for us.

I am sure no mint tin at 2 WPT - please could you check if still there or not?
Loved this one - we enjoyed wander this area. - so DNF for me

Watch Listing.

Cache check after a couple of DNF's, all WP's are ok. Nothing missing, all good, but there was an extra bottom of a sistma at the final, and it wasn't one of ours???

Last cache of the night before we called it quits. My caching partner had already done this cache so it was left to me to find. This cache used to bug me every time we went to the markets and I was surely tempted many times to do it in the daylight, so when we went past tonight i knew we had to stop. No Police tonight but there was a local who followed our movements from the safety of his vehicle. Happy to report that the cache is still there PP7 and all the reflectors were working OK.

In our first ever 24 hour caching journey, affectionately named Kate and Kelly's Amazing Geocaching Adventure or "KAKAGA" Mummy Short Legs and I were off and away and looking to grab as many as we could while this freedom lasted.
This was my first ever night cache and I cannot express just how excited I was to do this! I did feel ever so slightly like the neighbours in the area must look out their windows of a night and think "what the hell do they need torches for out there, there's enough lights! And how many people out there carry around torches these days anyway?!" However this did not deter us and we enthusiastically launched in the search... only to have to turn around and start afresh because we were too quick off the mark. A lovely stroll through the area later we found gz and the cache without a hitch. Thank you so much Pinkpiggy7 for the effort you put into this one. Loved it.

KAKAGA begins - Kato Potato and I are on an AGA (Amazing Geocache Adventure) for the first time overnight, without babies, and at this point are giggling with excitement as we near our destination for the adventure - some awesome night caches. This was Kate's first night cache, my third, but the giddy thrill was still apparent as we turned on our torches, got some seriously odd glances from a jogger (well, I wouldn't call that jogging, it looked like he was constantly tripping over but at a snail's pace, but hey, good try mate) and then commenced our mission. Take two needed to happen - I got over-enthusiastic and was used to long treks for night caches, but once we were on point, it was slam, bam, thank you ma'am...or piggy as the case may be. A quick find was had, a happy pair of signatures and we were off for more. TFTC Pinkpiggy7. Love your work.

Finally got back to find, sign and log final stage after replacement. TFTC Pink Piggy7

Replaced reflectors as per previous note, and checked cache and it was missing as well, all good to go again

Found the two way points but leading to the GZ cache could not be found with three eyes looking will return at some stage with youngest geo son RZ

I was disappointed at having to miss 'What's the fuss about' earlier this evening due to a sudden change in kids plans so I thought that seeing it was such a lovely night I would make this little night cache my leap day 200th cache instead. Unfortunately it didn't turn out how i planned neither. Accompanied by heliboy11 and very surprisingly our middle son JZ, we set off for adventure. We made it through the first stage quickly. The second stage took longer as the second lot of two dots had actually fallen off and were found on the grass nearby. With the final co-ordinates in hand we confidently headed off to GZ to grab the cache only to have big difficulty actually finding it. It looks like the area has had quite a thick layer of mulch put down fairly recently so I don't know if that played a factor or if it was just our poor night vision. After about half an hour and with JZ's groans about being bored becoming louder, we decided that we will return and try again another time. I still enjoyed the journey very much. TFTC Pinkpiggy7.

Both the two reflector dots at the final part of stage two (near the mint tin) were found off in the grass close by. Placed them face up at the base of intended spot but they do needed replacing properly.

Well it's been a long time between drinks, so to speak, for rokmum and I! We both had the need to grab a cache that was a bit more than a drive by without being too tricky! It was the perfect night to be out looking for a night cache so that's exactly what we did! It's a nice little spot here and the directions were pretty straight forward. Thanks for the cache PinkPiggy!

A fun and easy little hunt done with LegoHeads on this beautiful night in a nice park. A very easy walk and great for everyone to enjoy. LegoHeads' keen eye spotted the final a little bit to the left of the coordinates. Thanks for another great cache pink piggy!

Catching up on a few late logs (something not that unusual for me). As always, I enjoyed the journey to find the cache, mostly I have been in the company of Team Crackers, maccamob, alansee and the Coffee's, but occasionally I have gone out solo to soak in the solitude of being out in the fresh air.

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.

I quite liked this one. Night-caches often seem to tend towards the epic and/or arduous, but a modest-scale one like this suggests to me that pretty much every public space in every suburban neighbourhood could (and probably should!) play host to a perfectly engaging night-cache. The reflector trails here, brief as they turned out to be, were very clear and the intermediate waypoints were well executed. The cache itself was in good order. Nice work. Thanks Pinkpiggy7!

Found by The Empire
Chasing multi-caches and mysteries this month. I decided to head to the area in which I had a heap of solved mysteries due to the recent mega event, to try my hand at 31 by the end of January. Darkness has fallen, McDonald's has been eaten, time to grab a couple night caches before heading home. Thanks for the cache Pinkpiggy7.

Wow that was a nice little night cache, enjoyed by the kids, the misses and myself. TFTC SL

Our very first night cache! Easy to follow and find, very enjoyable. Number 8 for the night, geokid free which is nice but they would have enjoyed this one!

Found eventually with Mansgirl. Thanks.

After pleading and begging for clues .......... Only clue I was given was - are my eyes open - Eventually found by Davidman - without the clues - fun cache to do on a Saturday night tflc

Today we explored Casey Fields and surrounds with Whitewebbs while at the the Mega using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

In Casey Fields to attend Melbourne's first ever Mega. Found with Tassie Trekkers before heading back home after a great event. An enjoyable multi. TFTM

So much variety in the caches and in the weather!
Very happy that we did not experience any rain to speak of.
Great to cache in a new environment.

After attending the Melb mega we were after a little night time adventure!
Our first night cache was a lot of fun and not too long or involved for the juniors. Tftc

There were some muggles not far off but far enough. A nice stroll around a nice area and not too hard to find.

A nice quick multi done on a way to work detour.
