**Total find count: 435**

Out and about geocaching in "Mexico" with Crzymelly, the Geokids & HubbyandMrs. A few finds before a stunning lunch at the local pub, followed by the a partial completion of the Symbols Series geotrail.

A few quick and easy finds, some slightly more challenging, bumping into a fellow geocacher at one, and being muggled out by school children at another. All in all, a good day out geocaching.

Got us stumped... Not really!

It was time to put a stop to having under 200 finds. This marks 199!

On our way home from an event in Ballarat this morning. We were looking for a way that wasn't along the main highway and this was our choice. Nice little series that would have been better approached from the opposite direction. Found all we looked for except one. Thanks for the placing of this series and bringing us to an area that we hadn't, until now, visited.

Found !

Found today as we were enjoying the winter sunshine finding a few caches around Buninyong and Mt Helen. All but one were soon found and signed. Thank you for the series along this path, which has been beckoning for a long time and, as of today, will be a line of smiles!
Dropped off a TB.

We made a fullstop here at the coords for this cache. A quick find. TFTC

Loving this series - sometimes makes you think outside the square! TFTC

Found this one on a nice winter day stroll to Buninyong.

Had me up and down looking with my mum and sister

Find #3387. Found @ 15:46 with The Good Lady Wife.

We're in Ballarat to help the in-law's out on a holiday. The bribery to get me on board with this plan was some caching.

Leaving the kids at the accommodation, The Good Lady Wife and I went for a combination of caching and getting steps. Parking nearby and the doing every other cache on the way out, and the remainder on the way back. On the way back now, and we;d passed these locations before and I'd an idea of where to look. I was spot on with this one.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache BallaratGeocachers

**Found whilst in Ballarat for a couple of Events**.

*Out and about with The Empire*.

A thoroughly enjoyable day with some great caches, some not so great music and many laughs.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment BallaratGeocachers. Appreciate your efforts.

Stamped and returned as found...

**#12643**

Cache-On!

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy
A day in Ballarat, attending a CITO at Warrenheip Creek and afternoon tea at Eureka. With caches being archived rapidly along the 'Symbol' Series, we took this good opportunity to head down and pick up the caches that are left. Snap parked whilst I jumped and grabbed the caches I could along the trail. Thanks for the cache, and the series BallaratGeocachers.

Cool place to hide this! Nice series so far & I can kinda recognise each symbol!

A quick find on Sunday morning. Tftlc

Find #1647 for me. Found at 3:35 pm on one of my regular trips to Ballarat from Bendigo. This was a quick find for me with the cache and contents dry and in good condition. This was also my last find for today. I didn't plan it that way. In fact I failed at the comma further along making this one my last find, but I thought it kind of appropriate to stop here at the full stop! Thanks for the cache and the series BallaratGeocachers!

Good hide again. Grabbed TB that was not in this cache's Inventory!

Ah yes !!
Grandma !!
Why has Grandma gone downhill so much over the years ?? [:o]

What ??
Oh !! Grammar !!
My mistake.

Hooray I used me first full stop in this cache log just then !!
Did you notice ??

TFTC on a bike ride from Bunny to Rat today

Found at 10:58 AM GAFF1 on a "get our Terrain average up to 1.8 weekend". Which means no Terrain caches below 2.0 for a while
It is hard to misplace a "full stop" but I have seen it done a few times - especially in cache descriptions which then mess up your mind. "Did they mean this or that?"
Thanks BallaratGeocachers.

Tftc, nice easy series to find.

A beautiful afternoon caching thought I'd make a start on the symbol series. Nice hide TFTC

Nice track for a bike ride. Wish I had known that I would have organised to bring my bike. TFTC!

Quickly found this afternoon to complete the series. Tftc.

Sadly we did not have enough time to pick up all the caches in this series today. As we are travelling and are vehicle based, it was interesting sometimes finding somewhere to park. We managed to find most of the series and had some fun along the way. Thank you to BallaratGeocachers for placing and maintaining the caches.

Completed today with FerociousFlea.
Found on our Christmas Eve caching day in and around Ballarat..

Staying near Buninyong for a few nights during the school holidays. Found this series as a good excuse to give the dog a walk!
Finally, a cache large enough to drop off some travel bugs that we've kept for far too long.

I'm trying to do a "100 caches in a day" challenge. This was find #37. Thanks heaps, BallaratGeocachers!

Out on the bike this one fills the last gaps on this section of trail to make a nice line of smileys

One of our targets for this visit to the Ballarat area was the Symbol Series. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks BallaratGeocachers for the cache and the series.

Found on a caching trip to Ballarat with Freddo and Team Waldron, after finishing the BSRT trail we decided to drive around and grab a few more caches, guess what is at the end of this log. TFTC.

Heading over to Ballarat for a caching weekend and picking up a few caches on the way.

We managed to find about 230 caches in 3 days not bad work for 3 old guys

Another series of caches in Ballarat that boosted the numbers.

We weren't sure how we would be able to get to these but we mangaged most by car with just a couple of shortish walks.

Thanks for an excellent series.

Today Dunko and I headed to Ballarat with the intention of reaching and passing 9000 finds,
our mile stone was met what a great day of caching fun we had with 69 terrific caches found during our travels many thanks to BallaratGeocachers for the effort and placement of this cache. TNLN SL

Set off today with my caching buddy Slink1 to try and reach a mile stone number (9000) and I am pleased to say that we made that number and a few past (to be sure we counted correctly!). This cache was found as part of our effort to reach our milestone and my thanks go to BallaratGeocachers for the placement and maintenance of this cache. We had a lot of fun and some laughs along the way.

2:09:00 PM. We decided to get out and pick up a few caches today as it was going to get warm. Parked and walked back to this one. Log signed. Thanks BallaratGeocachers for placing this cache.

We were in Ballarat this morning as my sister and I competed in a triathlon. Afterwards we did some shopping then ditched Dad and eldest sister at the movies while becca85/Mum, boo09 and I did some caching including part of the Symbol series. Back for the rest another day. TFTC

An arvo caching with neisha07 & becca85 after some shopping.
Lots of fun caching in Ballarat this arvo. TFTC!

In Ballarat for a Triathlon for the kids, husband decided he wanted t check out the new Zoolander. I had no interest but was very happy to drop him off and do some caching!
Dumped him and the eldest Geo-child off and neisha07, boo09 and I headed out to Buninyong to get some of this series. We started at Buninyong and did as many as we could before we got the call to pick up from the cinema. Will be back for the rest sometime soon.
TFTC!

We made the drive over to Ballarat with the main purpose of completing the Symbol Series of caches. To make it easier logistically, we were advised to start at Buninyong so we kept all the caches on the left of the road in case we decided to stop with the car at any close ones.

There was parking at these first few and we took advantage of it when we could.

Staying on a camp at nearby Federation Uni for the last couple of days so decided to stop off on the way home to pick up a couple of nearby caches quickly. Looks like a nice little walk along this trail which I'll have to complete another time. A quick find on my way back to the car. Thanks for the cache Ballarat Geocachers.

Find No. 1289. Found with FUF009 at 5.27pm.

A trip down to Ballarat, and after we had completed what we had do, including a bit of shopping, we decided to tackle the Symbol Series. We done it on foot starting at Mount Clear and enjoyed the walk along this path finding caches as went. Most of the finds on our journey were quick and easy and were a variation of hides.

Find # 2829

Another Day in Ballarat for my usually Doc Appointment, but today I was travelling with Tyred n Cranky.
after a bit shopping and having the arvo clear, we decided to finish off the Symbol Series as we had mad a couple of finds on it while the Road Cycling Nationals were on in Buninyong.
Started the walk from Mount Clear and made the first grab at 1555 H and got the Final of the series (21 caches later) at 1742 H
