By TeamThommo on 22-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5N9CH

Unfortunately, I couldn't find this one. Been back a few times and even sought additional help, but nope, it didn't show itself.

Suscoe was homeward bound today.On the way we had decided to enjoy a little bit of caching in the Pakenham area.It was a mild day and once we had negotiated the C422 bridge closure we found a few caches as we went on our way.We enjoyed a good range of locations and hide.Thanks to TeamThommo for this nice hide, a lovely little area to enjoy/

Quick find cause we kind of knew what we were looking for Thanks

Beautiful spot here Nice quick find Thanks Team Thommo for this one

Lovely spot

Our last find of the morning! TFTC

Very clever! Thanks for find 180!

TFTC! School holiday fun. Took the pre teen and teens out for from sort of sunlight. We were greeted by some ducks and.probably looked weird to the muggles that showed up. Introduced some caching fun to someone who hadn't done it before

This was a nice stop, found easey with ducks making way for me

Came back for this one, Swan watched intensely whilst we logged the cache

Found it! Nice to be the first on a fresh log!

Cache was replaced several days ago.

Gave it a good go over but no luck today.

Didn't find

5 of us looking under and around everything hands in cobwebs and didnt come up with the goods

Great location, lovely place to sit and relax. TFTC

This is a lovely location, the locals are pretty lucky to have this place. I took some time out in my day to just sit and contemplate my day. Thanks TeamThommo for placing the cache.

That was an easy stop and grab thankyou

Second time lucky

With permission from TeamThommo maintenance has been done.

No luck today. Lots of ducks staring at us

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 TeamThommo for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

DNF - looked high and low to no avail. Got to meet these cuties though so still worth a visit! Will be back!

KmanNZ brought me here and he had already found it.

We looked all around and lay down under the benches but still couldn't find it.
I suggested we jump in the pond to cool off and maybe find the cache but KmanNZ said no.

Sorry

Had to look at a house around this area and decided to have a look, couldn’t find for the life of us will definitely have another look soon

Replaced log and container

Thanks Pinkpiggy7 we owe you another one

Nice quick find, in a beautiful area
Plenty of wildlife that observe while you search.

Log book full, and missing cache lid.
Will message co

Beautiful spot, but unfortunately after lying on my back under two areas and thoroughly searching the little nano was not in sight. Ducks were amused.

TFTC... Log book full.

We will be back
But we found these pretty swans

Found it

Did not find today

My first cache attempt and find. I'm already hooked. Nice way to exercise during lockdown.

Tftf

Found on our second attempt, a little fiddling to get back in! TYFTF

Didn’t find this time. Will come back

Find 2629
This was a previous DNF for us some time ago . Today it was a walk up quick search and find. Log signed and back safe again.

Great spot! TFTC.

Found on the 2nd go I just didn't have geo eye on

Found with stink fox on her second attempt. Loved sitting and watching the ducks

(DNF)

Cute lil spot. Finding ducks was harder than the cache

Looked for a long time. Read the activity posts but no luck unfortunately.

Good hide

Nice to sit and look at the ducks tftc (:

Take a seat and ponder where this cache could be

no luck here today

It really is lovely sitting down watching the birds on the water. I was amused watching one particular duck doing his duck dive.. backside straight up in the air.. head down. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC TeamThommo

Driving by today and decided to drop by for a quick park and grab. Lovely spot to sit and enjoy the serenity. TFTC TeamThommo.
Chiefton.

A nice quick find in this nice park this morning, TFTC!

Stopped to have a go at this one after having a nice hot cuppa and natter with a friend who lives nearby. Lot cooler at gz. Quick find but took somewhat longer to get my half frozen fingers to co-operate in getting the log back rolled up. TFTC TeamThommo. If it was a bit warmer I would have lingered a bit longer here today.

Found on 4 Aug 2019 at 3:21 pm.
After a bit of abush walk for a puzzle just up the hill a bit I slowly made my way back home past a few other caches on the way until I ran out of time.
I parked right nearby and gladly on these cold days this place was also deserted. A quick look at satellite view while walking from the car and I then didn't even need my GPS after that. Found it in the first place I looked.
Thanks TeamThommo for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

After 2 DNF’s it was good to finally get one, TFTC

Thanks - after two DNF’s a quick find, knees packing it in for this old bloke. TFTC

Great find

Found with the RV crew. We did 12 in Warragul then decided to show our colours as lapsed Catholics and get fish for dinner nearby. What to do whilst waiting? Hahaha another cachebofncourse!

A quick grab while waiting for our fish n chips. Find 13 for today from 15 attempts.

Out for a family bike ride and we decided we had enough time before the ride home to look for this cache.

This was the third time I had been to this location, but only the first time I had been able to look for it. Middle son failed to find it, but I then found it quickly. 999HK then quickly found it, then my wife, but middle son still failed to find it.

Thanks for the cache Team Thommo

We sat down looking at the water with all the ducks swimming around. Then decided to get the cache. Nice veiw.

A pretty quick find in the early morning. The longest part was trying to extract the log from the container. Got it after a while.

Anther DNF for us today.

Had a really good look but couldn’t find we will be back

After helping move 6 cubic meters of top soil for the kids today, I finished the day with a few quick finds in Officer. Last time I came past here there were muggle families every where. Today the only inhabitants were the ducks and swans to which there were plenty. Finding the cache was the easy bit. Getting the log was another story as I hadn't brought the geo-toolkit.
armed only with Kat's long fingernails we sat and admired the bird life as they admired us expecting some food to be thrown there way. After many attempts we finally managed to manipulate the log from its captor and add our name to the scroll. TNLNSL. TFTC. KKams.

Quick stop In Pakenham to find it here. Nice spot. A swan was watching me while I sign the log.
TFTC

What a lovely, peaceful area. Took us a little while to locate this one, all under the watchful eye of this dude. Thanks TeamThommo for showing us this spot on this perfect spring day.

*29 Sep 2018, Found @9:31 pm, Find # 2102.*

A day of catching up on housework and washing followed by the AFL grand final where my team won. After dinner it was time to go and find a cache or two. A nice easy find and no need to use the hint.

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

Come near here daily but have never stopped at this spot. There were a lot of ducks around today and they did not seemed bothered by my searching. It was a quick grab after shopping and probably took longer to roll the log back up than to find this one

I was looking in the wrong place at the start but after widening my search area it was a quick find. TFTC!

Accompanied with kangas11 for caching day today.
The weather was so warm.
Lovely relax and watch other family feed ducks
Found it.
Thanks for the cache Team Thommo

Another one missing

Catch #36

Found quickly with the girls, TFTC.

We had a very, very, good look around for a long while. Then we read some logs and had another look with something in our minds eye. We found it faster after that. Thanks for the info on the area and the cache.

Finally found this one tftc

Plenty of ducks and spawns of satan around today getting nice and close to see what were doing after a small search we finally had this guy in our hands signed and replaced tftc

What a beautiful place to sit and watch the birds they are very friendly found with teammoss5 and apple460 thanks for bringing us here yftc

Dropped by this one while passing through, however two gents with their O-bikes were sitting at gz, with no intention of leaving.
Will be back

Found

Third time lucky for this one today! It also demonstrates it’s worth to register DNFs, even if you then have blue faces. Shortly after my last one for this the CO checked on it and it was indeed missing. Don’t we love COs who do their job so well! Find made easily with no Muggles around, then I took some photos of the birds in the lake on a perfect afternoon. Thanks Team Thommo.

I meant to post this with the previous post. Lovely spot for a cache!

Lovely view of a little lake with beautiful colourful swans and ducks were desperately to wait for me to feed. Found it and logged in. TFTC!

Replaced

I'm out of magnetic nano's, I ordered some more, will have to wait for them to arrive - sorry for the delay

It’s missing, again!

Strange that this one has gone, will try and check on Thursday

This was my second search here with no luck. As it is about 7 months since it was last found I was wondering whether CO has checked it out recently. I searched everywhere I thought possible and rang APAF and still no find..

Woohoo, found it!

One of the last finds in my local area that I haven't attempted yet. Quick search in the obvious places came up with nothing. Then the lovely wife found it in an unlikely spot for this type of cache, never the less armed without a pen I took a photo instead and place it back when it was found.

TFTC.

Well after a few attempts at this one it was finally found by Mr Geo. Geokids had virtually given up and thought the swan was more interesting. TFTC

Found @13:33 #5949
Pulled up squeezing in behind a car that should of been just a little more forward, man that is annoying but assuming I would be quick I decided my dodgy car angle parking would be OK. Well I got to GZ and then the hunt began, wow this was taking me much longer then some other found earlier today. But then bingo, wow that is a sneaky hide and I reckon luck was on my side with this one. Nice little area. Weather perfect today for caching as the muggles don't like these conditions.

TFTC TeamThommo

Out cruising on a beautiful warm evening and stopped to enjoy the peace and quite for a while. Thanks Team Tommo

On my way down to Pakenham for a meeting I pulled over to enjoy this very pretty setting. Complete with swans and lovely gardens. Nice easy find as I was the only one there. Thanks for the cache

Out and about on a Sunday caching session and we visited this cache among what we did in a very hot Pakenham. A varied range of caches attempted today.

Thanks TeamThommo for this cache placement.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today with mcsee&petal. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

This is a charming little spot, with plenty of ducks enjoying the water. A quick find and a handy spot to sit and sign the log - what more could you ask for.

Thanks for the cache.

Out with BoatieTim and Lukie1987 this afternoon, we decided to hit Pakenham, as it was one area we all had a lot of "unfounds".
A nice quick find. TFTC TeamThommo
