Looks like GZ has been taken away by council, I will revise coords when I can get access
Very nice hide. Almost gave up but remembered that the trickier ones are always in the last place you look.
Oh crikey! After multiple attempts at this one we finally had a breakthrough! A favourite point from me for the hide in plain sight factor! Cheers!
What a fantastically disguised cache.
A number of mugges around but managed to find this and hide it in my pocket before heading off to a nearby bench to examine it.
Very rewarding lunch break.
Thanks

After missing another one for a souvenir, I drove out here to try my luck on this cache. What a magnificent day for a drive and a little walk! A soccer match below, but I could search without worrying about muggles. Found this cleverly camouflaged case at the end of my first circuit. Thanks for the cache, Bucks23, and for providing me with the souvenir.

Out on a morning caching run of the 10k with Ahomburg & 88Andy88. With expected rain it was great to have a sunny winters day but with a cold wind chill.
This was the last found today on this mini run and the last fond in this reserve. Been keen for quite some time to get over to here. Nice container and hide took a few lops to finally spot it.

An afternoon of caching with 88andy88. He'd already got these, but I still needed to find them.
Plenty of lunchtime joggers & walkers to avoid so stealth was at level extreme today. As I read the description of this one, I wondered if we maybe passed the CO today.

Decided to grab a few on the way home after playing (and losing to) Wheelers Hill in the D grade winter baseball comp.
Will see how many I can get!

Had to wait for a tractor to pass by as it was mowing the oval but a rather nice sunny quiet morning for a spot of caching. Nice camo by the way. tftc
Setting off for a walk around the reserve, this was the next one that I came across. The effective camo was spotted after I completed a loop of the tree. Very nicely done.
Thanks to Bucks23.

Quick find even though the camouflage was very well done. A walkers to be careful of but retrieved and replaced without an issue.

Headed out after work with an hour or so before basketball to try and find this series, managed 3 of 4 which is good for me as I am rubbish finding caches at night!!
A nice piece of camo on this one had me wondering for a bit until I spotted a tell-tale sign. Beaut hide.

I had a quick search in the gaps between passersby but sadly didn't have any luck
We needed a short walk this afternoon to enjoy the sunshine. This turned out to be a rather quick find, which was good because I usually cringe whenever a cache is hidden in one of these paperbark trees! Thanks Bucks23 for the quick little series.
Found before going back to Sydney with AWTYOW, gab_star and geoganstas TFTC - sorry for such a late log
Out to pick up a few caches before we have to go back to NSW - with AWTYOW, Dwight Shrute and the geo-gangstas. TFTC!
First official day of caching day with my new 'gang' member - my grandson. Found with AreWeThereYetOrWhat. TFTC!
Checked this cache today and found it on the ground, have fixed it up already to go.
Last find in the series with GeoHubby. This one had us stumped for a while. Don't know if cache is in right place, as some of the logs suggest differently. Amazing camo, though.
Really enjoyed all the clever hides and the great variety of caches in the series. Tftc

Took us a while but man what a "hiding" spot.. Some of the hints did not quite fit our find maybe the cache has moved from its original location?!?!?!
Attempted to find this cache the other night in the dark hahahaha. Didn't realise it was a three until after I had departed. Came back this afternoon for a better look in the light of day, and I'm glad I did. It was a challenge, but one that didn't go unrewarded. Only a couple muggles, but several magpies around. And honestly I was more concerned about the magpies who seemed determined to chill out in the tree whilst I looked. I narrowly avoided being pooped on by one of them, by talking a step back with a second to spare. Two wins one cache.

After Mr Pooky completed his park run at Jells Park we headed to do this group of caches which were nearby. We seem to be doing this series in reverse order today. We did originally start at this cache but as there were too many Muggle walkers going by we decided to abandon the search do the others and come back. On our return the number of Muggles had diminished significantly. This one did take a while, especially as we are vertically challenged but Mr Pooky did eventually make the find. Would have been good for the geokids to search for this one as they would have been less conspicuous. TFTC and bringing us to this great park and walking track which we did not know existed.
Attempted this one today with ladioactive but we couldn't find this one even after an extensive search. I think it may have gone needs an owner check.
Despite the number of times I stood back to get a better perspective, I just could not spot it today. I circled the tree up close, I circled it out around it. I stood and gazed. People must have thought I was some tree loving hippy from the amount I time I stood there staring at it. Might have to put this one down to "you got the better of me" caches.
Argh!! not a dnf this early in the day, it may of got the best of me this morning but I shall return again another day and try again. Thanks anyway Bucks23.
Out and about with Hera during kinder hours this morning. Firstly she dragging me kicking and screaming to the market where she forced me to spend money then she made me go geocaching afterwards......that's what I'm telling my husband anyway! This was a fun hide that Hera found within a minute as I was skirting around the other side of the tree. What a great camo! I liked this one and it's getting a fave point from me. TFTC Bucks
Out with The Rusty's getting a caching fix before kinder pick-up This circuit was just right for our needs. Nice neat camo on this one.
Grabbed this one on a slight detour for another council area for the LGA Challenge. This one stumped us for a bit, and then joegleeson_25 made the find. No joke - sitting there in plain sight!! A great cache and a fav point from me. TFTC
We made good time heading back from the Mega at Casey Field so decided to stop and stretch out legs in the later afternoon sunshine and do a lap of the reserve. A great little hide here that fortunately was quickly found. We did a bit of CITO here to tidy up GZ. TFTC
Found on the way home from the Mega. We made a slight detour so Mel_Adz could pick up another for his Victorian Local Government Area Challenge. TftC
I stopped to wander and this loop of caches after attending a nearby CITO. I loved the variety of containers and camos. Thank you for the caches Bucks23.
11:44, 13 November 2015. #283. I don't often get over this way, so while I was here on a quiet Friday morning I thought I'd give #2 a go. Not being familiar with the area it took me a U-turn on Wellington Road before I worked out where to park and found myself closer to this one, so gave it a go first.
The dreaded iPhone got me pretty close to GZ straight off despite clouds overhead and by sheer luck I saw the cache very quickly, so had enough time to have a crack at #2.
SL. TFTC Bucks23.

I stopped at the Freeway Reserve whilst I was making my way towards the city during a cache run today. I had few hours to kill before meeting up with some others later so spent a nice hour meandering around the circuit here, finding the caches along the way.
I was glad to see that this one had just recently been replaced. Great cammo and thanks Bucks23.

I had spent the morning caching around Braeside and then shopping at "flat pack heaven"but now it was time to head home. Heading for teh toll road, I stopped off here for the extra finds I needed to bring up my 1600th Find...starting with this cache at number 1598.
It took a little hunting to find it...I spent a lot of time with the wrong idea in mind and thus looking in the wrong sorts of places...eventually I spotted something that didn't look quite right...and of course that was the cache.
Thanks Buck23 for a clever camouflage...and putting in the effort top put this one back in play...another Favourite Point will be coming your was one day...I need to find a few more caches first.

No luck at this one. Looked here for a bit and I'm sure it is nicely camouflaged. Geobaby got a bit restless so we pushed on with our circuit of the park. Thanks anyway.
A walk around the park with yorsys, after work this evening.
First of five finds for me. #1,268
I returned to my geovehicle to grab my torches and spotted the cache straight away upon my return.
Nice camo Bucks23, thanks for the cache.

I was out this way doing some cache maintenance and needed another 4 caches to take me to 9999, prior to my milestone event next Saturday. I had to drive past it on my way home, so why not stop and grab them?
I did them in order, only because this was the closest to where I parked. Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Near where we live so out for a morning stroll before the rain sets in.
Took a while to find as it was well executed.
Thanks and now onto number 2.

Was looking through the logs to find a hint when i looked back at it then spotted something unusual. Great camo!
TFTC. First one of the series but second last to find as we walked back to the car. This one has us going but as when we looked a bit closer, the hide was found.
Out geocaching with the whole family on the hunt for our 300th Cache...beautiful Sunny afternoon...easy find......TFTC

After the 3am Flash Mob, I went back home and got some sleep.
This afternoon I went out again, and targetted Monash Uni and a nearby park.
This one was find number 4 of 7 for the day.
Turned out to be just what I was expecting, but very well executed.
Thanks for placing this cache Bucks23

Really overthought this one and nearly missed it. Walked away for a short distance while the muggles passed, then returned and there it was. Great camouflage.
Q found this cache - we ended up parking very close. What better thing to do when the Queen kind of celebrates a birthday than go caching! Here today with GJMMelb and quiet1_au. TFTC
A quick find for lochb, G' of GJMMelb and I as approaching GZ it was pretty clear we were in the right place and I was lucky enough to spot it having found other such camouflaged hides before - this is a nicely made one though. TFTC
Out caching on this fine holiday with Lochb and Quiet1_au. Not too many people around. Q spotted this as soon as we got to Gz. A good example of a popular type of hide. Thanks Bucks23

Find #1975. Found @ 23:22.
I had to make a visit to the in-law's place to connect up my battery charger to their flat car battery. I guess these are the prices one pays when the battery was flattened whilst collecting my geocachelettes from school.
Since I was out and about, I decided to grab a cache or 4. These ones were nowhere near where I was, but the lure of a miniseries and a nice walk drew me in.
I parked close to this cache and made my way to GZ by torchlight. It took me a minute or so of looking at the structure at the coordinates before I located the well hidden container.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

added some more log in here today when I returned to walk around the park and log the other ones in this park!
Found this one this afternoon, just a quick drive by after having a unsuccessful geocaching day.
Absolutely loved the camo.
Log completely full, had to fit my entry in the middle somewhere.
If weather permits I'll be returning for the rest in this park tomorrow. So I'll bring some more log to pop in there

Out with poptoppete tonight on our regular Sunday night adventure. Brrrrrr bit chilly. TFTC
On a mission today as our goal to get a cache a day since starting geocaching is coming to an end. What better way than to call your bestie (Morcs4) and go for an easy stroll around this beautiful park in the morning autumn sunshine. Took a bit of searching as I have now put my misleading GPS away, but once again I was beaten by Morcs4 to the find. Signed log and replaced the cache before the next group of dog-walking muggles came past. TFTC
