On our way to see the inlaws in St Leonards and thought we would find some caches in the way. TFTC
Staying in Geelong for last few days of my trip. Haven't cached this area very much.
Last day on the Bellarine Peninsula. Even though storms have left the whole area very wet, there is still time to collect a few more geocaches. Off early just before the dawn, but no change of seeing the sunrise, so I didn't worry about getting to a gemreat beach location to watch the sun rise this time.As such, I thought I would continue collecting the D2B caches on Andersons Road. First find for today.Thanks for the cache, deshut.Hunter
Final one I have found on this series other than #7Thank you for the cachePika 3/1/24
Over here in aussieland visiting family. I have 2 weeks left till I head back to the US so grabbing as many geocaches as I possibly can.Doing what im missing from this series today probably setting the owners notifications off like crazy lol. Interesting container that holds the cache. Hope it isnt mistaken as rubbish.
I thought that I would give this series a go today given the nice weather and the opportunity to add a few finds to help with a souvenir that i am working towards. There are a few caches that need a bit of work, either looking a bit tired in condition or have a wet log. Some of the descriptions in relation to the type of container or size of the cache need updating. Otherwise, it was a pleasant countryside drive with minimal traffic. Overall I spent around 2 hours on this series. TFTC.
Decided to give this trail a go and managed to find most of the ones I attempted today. Some took a few a minutes while some were spotted on approach. All up a good little series with different types of hides. All caches in good condition unless otherwise noted.
Thanks deshut.... All caches in good condition unless otherwise noted.

A quick and easy find here today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.

B had some cache maintenance to do in Portarlington and a Lego purchase to pick up
In Ocean Grove, so set off with C in that general direction with a 3rd objective of starting to clear through more of the many many unfound caches we have on the peninsula. After starting out in Port we headed across towards D2B and Do You Believe in, chasing some bulk PnG smilies as our find numbers in February are somewhat lower than most other months, and such things come in handy for challenge caches.
We started mid trail on D2B and soon realised quick PnG’s were not going to be the case. Many of this series need some love, we found anything from empty containers with no logs, to damaged containers, to logbooks thats were just paper mush. Fortunately Do You Believe in was better as C’s 7yo patience was starting to wear thin.

Back down on the Bellarine during another visit to my daughters place in the area. Didn’t really intend to be doing any hunting while I was down this time, or parkrunning for that matter, and didn’t come prepared for said activities. So after freezing myself half to death yesterday morning at You Yangs parkrun, I covered up hoping to keep somewhat warmer this morning, but unfortunately, Mother Nature had other ideas by providing a gale force cold wind that almost rendered my hands useless. But nonetheless, I persevered until I could no longer take it.
Not yet completely frozen, this one didn’t keep me stumped for too long!

Quick find on route to 2 events in St Leonards. Running out of time to will have to come back.
Thanks deshut
Thanks deshut
Not too sure about putting my hand in there and not having my grabber with me, which would have worked perfectly… I tried using a stick which got the container up enough to grab it successfully. As the nearby moogles wondered what I was up to, trying to sign a tiny log sheet in this horrid wind, they gave me a nod as I tucked the log back in its tiny little container and mooved on. I’m glad I got their approval! TFTC
Quick find. Out on the day before school goes back with geoson collecting this interesting series. Didn’t realise there is still plenty of farming in the area. Thank you for bringing us down here. TFTC
Back at it on the D2B... When there's drama in your life geocaching sets you free...
Big container, small log. Glad we have skinny forearms otherwise this cache would be tricky to extract
Decided to smash out some caches this cold and foggy Sunday. Thanks for the effort it placing and maintaining such a big series
Another that didnt stump us!
Off on another day caching around the Bellarine Peninsula with our good mate Rebel Acts.
A mixture of trails and other caches. The trails here are a bit of a treat as rather than the preform tubes or similar containers we have generally experienced in the past, most containers are of good size and often are a bit of a feature of the theme in the cache name.
We were racing the weather a bit trying to get in as much as possible before rain set in, but still had to battle showers. Lucky we were prepared.
All in all, another great day caching.
All logs signed with RASP (Rebel Acts, SKI Pair).

We had a really busy day and we headed out to grab a couple of quick caches before a Chicken Parma. We jumped out of the geomobile and found the cache reasonably quickly in the torchlight. We had just stamped the log and replaced it in its hiding spot when the heavens opened. The rain was coming from all directions. The cache was in great condition. Thank you for this cache deshut.
Taking a short cut back from Portarlington and saw that there was a cache series to do along the way. Found a few on a cold afternoon. Will have to come back to do the rest. TFTC
Like a few others in this series, this container was aging badly, so I replaced the container and put in a new log.
I have a free day to go out caching so today I have started out with this power trail. after today I will have found more caches then all of last year..... I loved all the different cache types all I found them all, some logs sheets were wet some caches were out in the open but they are all there. Happy to put a smiley on all these caches. TFTC.
Set of for the arvo to find some caches while the rest of our family and friends were busy at home
Had a young fellow with me so decided to tackle this series so he wouldn't get too bored but he loved them and we did more than I thought we would
Sorry for the genetic message but there was too many to remember each one and I am now logging them back at home

With The ring of Swiss cheese coming down we could now catch up with our Metro Mates, so once again I teamed up with Omegaman1971 and headed to the Geelong area to do some of the many labs and several caches in the area. We had a great time exploring the area.
This was one of the caches we found today.
Thanks deshut for the cache.

Spent around an hour cruising around Anderson's road picking up drive-bys. I'll come back and get the handful I missed for a variety of reasons usually related to muggle activity. Thanks deshut for turning this road into an adventure!
Found it with Jade_29
There was a spider web built over the top of it so decided not to disturb the spider. So log not signed.

17 A cool and cloudy Thursday morning. Ideal for a caching bike ride, or so I thought.
time to tackle some more of the D2b trail. Well 24 more finds, 1 Dnf. no lost equipment.
But severely beaten by the Bellarine bombers (mozzies) and when the battery and backup charger both gave up it was time to retreat. "I shall return!"
Thankyou for the series and the adventure. Cheers

In order to continue my streak doubling my finds to 1000 in 2 months, I decided to visit the Bellarine Peninsula on the other side of Port Phillip Bay for the day.

Back with 2 Geosons today to attempt the rest of this trail. The 10 year old was quick to find this one despite the risk of the spider webs, haha. Tftc
My first Christmas without anywhere to go. Christmas is a tough day when you don’t have family to spend it with. Decided to make the most of it, and ended up having a wonderful day. Beautiful sunny day, my geowhippet Reggie for company and a stack of caches out there to find. Quick find here. TFTC and for making my Christmas Day special
After having had enough of people and finding parking spots and needing to be mindful of other drivers we have headed for the dirt.
We have completed three trails today with only one DNF, I suppose you need to leave yourself something to do on another trip. The cache hides have been unusual and mostly different. There has been considerable care put into the construction of the caches. These are the little things that have you wondering what the next cache will be. Because we assumed, at times, what the hide would be we spent far longer at some than what we needed to do. Most of the co-ords were good, a few seemed a bit off but that could be the weather, or it just may have been our GPS not playing nice. We think we may be due for a new GPS; it has had quite a workout over the years. Some are now in need of a little TLC as the contents have been wet at some point with some of them.
It was good not to a trail where all the containers were the same and the cache hides also the same. SL TFTC
