Disabling until I can look into this cache (hopefully this weekend) if it has gone awol I will
Need to order another container - estimating about a fortnight before back up and running!

DNF been here countless times but no luck

Hrmmm had a look here and there. Had the place to myself but couldn't locate the cache. I'll be back, hopefully it's as quiet the next time.

No luck with this one today, while we were searching we had a man from the group on the ground come over and ask us if we were from the council, no was the reply, just geocaching...judging by the blank look we though it best if we didn't loiter too long and left it for another day.

Went the long way around first, which is the way we thought was plausible to reach the destination.

Found by Mary & David at 1620. In Geelong today for the four Christmas Events. A good time to visit as the place was totally deserted. We've found quite a few containers like this, so spotted it immediately, but it was empty - no log! Able to add a new log sheet in a small plastic bag. Our thanks to Ninny_Muggins.

ha that is gold... how many times did i ignore that lol.
great hide

Love these hides easy for the kids to get and put back too! Retreated after we watched the only muggle ... A woman walking her Alaskan malamute (giant dog) and her two cats had gone past ... I know, the kids were fascinated lol! Tftc & entertainment

My grandaughter found this little find!:D

Fun find! Time for a couple of quick laps.

A quick find here by the Moose, after a little concern that we might be locked out. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Found it

Found @11:06
Did this one while walking Geo Puppy.
Accurate coordinates made for an easy find. Love the camo.
SL Thanks for the cache Ninny_Muggins.

Found it nicely when there is no muggles around here.
Thanks Ninny Muggins

Out today with mum for a spot of op-shopping and geocaching. Drove around and around trying to figure out how to get into the athletes bit. School was getting out so the lollipop ladies were every where and laughing at us. Eventually we got into the car park and worked out where we should be. Mum was a bit confused as all the caches she has seen to this point are in the bush. It was found by touching the right spot. Now for the hard part (apparently) -getting out of here, LOL. TFTC.

In the time it took us to find this cache the 9 year old had run a lap. We weren't slow - he was super quick Another find by the McPhail family

looked at it twice before l realised lol

Easy without the muggles. TFTC

I knew there was trouble as I drove up on this weekday morning to see the carpark packed - I thought this would be a good time to look. But its also a good time to hold a school athletics carnival too it seems. A coffee cart had set up riiiiight near GZ so there was no way I could look today. Thanks anyway

Found after a job interview around the corner. Needed a find for the day for cache366 and this one poped up. So in full suit off l went to grab the cache. Signed and returned and on my way again

Tftc

At the Geelong Highland gathering so thought I would have a look for this one. TFTC

Reserve closed for the weekend to the public, will have to try again another day

Great cache to do while the kids are doing school athletics

**Find #7728...**

*Found whilst on a Leap Year Cache Chase*...

A beautiful afternoon to be out and about grabbing a few smilies before attending the local leap year event ...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment Ninny_Muggins...

Awesome camo. Took us a while. Great first hide. A favourite from me

Lols. This one had the wife and I scampering hither and yon. The previous logs just helped muddy the situation for us - we should have just trusted the coords. Nice hide.

In and out great coordinates, spot on . TFTC

Grr need a second hint. Looked twice in 24 hrs and still unable to spot it

Hahaaha i over looked this so many times !! Awesome hide and camo.. well done !!

Definitely don't think inside the box, anything is possible

Best to do at daytime as all gates are locked. Lucky still have fence jumping skills. Great hide and cahce 2 thumbs up. Tftc

This little green box has been staring me in the face for too long. I had attempted this hide once before, but all the gates were locked. I wasn't keen on jumping the fence and drawing unwanted attention. [:o)] Luckily a gate was left open today, allowing to stroll right up to GZ. Accurate co-ords led to a quick find. Congratulations on your first hide, well done !! TFTC Ninny Muggins

Found nice find. Took hamster to travel world.

We needed our souvenir for the day and it was getting late. So, the smart plan was to come here, hopefully make a find and leave our newly activated TB, before we went to watch the 9.30pm fireworks. Well, at first the caching gods were on our side: despite the advanced hour, the gate was unlocked and we could get in. We even found the clever hide pretty soon. However, it is probably a "micro" rather than a "small" container. Our TB would not fit. [B)]
Ha, but we had one on us that we could fit here, so yes, left a TB, signed the log, and off to the bay we went to watch what Team Crackers had to offer
Well done on your first hide: great container, "in your face" with lots of muggles at times to make the hunt even more interesting (we had the entire school here one year when Landy Field was being overhauled), accurate coordinates. [^]

[green]Find #569[/green]

Nice hide!
I saw this cache when it popped up, but as it was out of my 'area', I decided to let it go.
A couple months later, I was now 'in the area' doing other things, and after they were completed, it was only fair that some caching took place.
This was the nearest by cache, so it was off to GZ. Parked 40 metres away and after dodging some muggles, I had arrived at GZ. A brief look before locating the goods, quick sign of the logbook, replacement and quickly left the zone before a muggle and his brother came riding past.
Thanks for the cache Ninny Muggins, an awesome first hide that you [u]definitely[/u] should be proud of.
Took: Nothing,
Left: Nothing,
Signed the log and all is in great condition.
Well done!


And I almost forgot to add a favourite point for the awesome first cache

Awesome find, thanks ninny

Like to say I came here to work out.

But next best thing it was to find a smiley.

GZ was clear and only the odd person walking past outside and far away.

Walked straight up to GZ and have found these before.

Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area. SL TFTC

After an evening of caching with the kids we thought we would have a quick look at this one on the way home. There were a few muggles on the oval playing but really didn't bother us or us them. A quick find we returned to the card to sign the log then Miss 12 casually returned it to GZ

Needed a find for today and with few green boxes in the area I made my way here. Wasn't sure if I could get in at first but after a walk i spotted the entrance. At GZ it was great to see a hide hidden in plain sight. Signed and replaced as found. A great first hide.

Thanks for the Cache Ninny Muggins

A muggle runner was running bare chested in the rain around the oval being observed by his "coach" so had to wait till they went past before getting our next smiley! Took a few minutes to find this well camoed cache hide in its good spot.
TFTC Ninny Muggins - good spot for your first cache and a great camo to boot - much appreciated!

Yes, definately not one to do on a Little Aths day or Sports Carnival. Quick cache cleverly camo'd from all but cachers. Tftc.

Just one lonely jogger on the track on Cup Day, watched by unenthusiastic boy. So I made my way to GZ and quickly claimed the prize, having seen one of these before. TFTC

Congrats on such a good quality cache love a creative hide. Place was full of muggles today so needed to employ the stealth TFTC

Tftc Ninny_Muggins ,great hide. I always like a well thought out cache hide.

11:25
We thought it would be safe to come on a Sunday! Well almost, we just had to wait a bit while the young athletes were ushered into their vehicles and driven away. This cache would have to be one of the best executed of it's type we have seen. Well Done!

Our thanks to Ninny_Muggins for bringing us here.

Good camouflage.

We were able to park nice and close to this cache. Neatly tucked away and the camo style that would be overlooked by the average Joe but is well known to cachers. TFTC

Out and about and decided to detour for this little cache. The pencils are very colourful here. The local school children were playing in the sunshine and I discovered what I wanted. Overlooked it at first but as I was moving away spotted it.
TFTC Ninny_Muggins

I had been out this way to tackle those QR codes caches out at the You Yangs and this was on the way home so after parking and wandering into this area I found out that I could have driven in very close.
I have seen quite a few of these so an easy find for this old bloke but every thing is good with the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache.

I parked at a bit of a distance from this one and wandered in for the find. I have only been here once before when a double booking at Landy Field resulted in our school's sports day changing venues. There was no athletic activity happening today, but as I approached, I spotted a bunch of high-vis wearing muggles collected in the car park. Fortunately as I got near, they all (except two) jumped in their vehicles and departed. The other two continued chatting and I was a little concerned my activities might be spotted, however I soon discovered that I would be completely out of sight at GZ.
Also fortunately, I was able to make a quick find here and soon had the log signed and replaced and was on my way.
Thanks Ninny Muggins !

Found whilst exploring the area
Cool spot, great cache, clever hide

Little aths, little cache, little worries in finding this one. Also saw a little man get a little grumpy due to his little dog being jumped by a not so little dog! Tftc.

[red]Find #2665 Traditional #2127 [/red]

I had the Geo daughter with me after swimming lessons and we wanted to find a treasure on the way home. We noticed this one a few weeks ago when it came live and today was the day to collect this one. The athletics track was a muggle free area except for one person walking their dog. I waited for them to move on before we found this one quickly. A very good cache hide. Well done on your first cache hide [^] Stamped and returned as found.

[blue]Thanks for this trad cache hide, Ninny Muggins [^]
Log and container in good condition.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing [/blue]

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Suscoe's 7th find of the day as we headed home from a quick trip up the road.
Nice and quick find.
We were amazed to see the old Corio South school site completely levelled.
Haven't been out this way for a while.
Thanks to Ninny Muggins for a bold hide.

finally got a spare 5 mins to grab this one. well done on effort great camo.

Walk out of work and ding goes the emails. Drive home and bam message from dbelco 'JFTF'. So quickly grab geo-wife and hep-baby and out the door we go. As we approached a saw a car already parked and new that our chance for an FTF was gone. As I exited I saw kalianda09 walking back. After a quick chat the tritonz arrived. After a quick hello the cache was retrieved, signed and replaced. Another quick discussion and we all headed to the Bellarine for another FTF up a tree.

Thanks for the start of agreat night adventure.

TNLN. TFTC.

Saw this published last night but knew I had no chance to grab FTF so hatched a plan to grab another on the peninsular and saved this one for today

Thanks Ninny Muggins for the cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Published

After playing around today getting the email working on the phone again we got a bing!!!! 2 new caches published we'll go for the close one first. Quick drive down the road and over the fence we went. Whilst signing the log we saw 2 cars heading towards us. Quick put it back. Back over the fence we caught up with Buzzsmc, Debelco & The Tritonz. Good to see you all again. Quick discussions of heading out to the other published cache. Thanks for the FTF Ninny Muggins, this was were I once in my younger days used to go for school sports, needless to say I don't think my running has improved from then.

We were on our way home from Winchelsea after some health checks on 2 of our caches when we got the notification of a new one in Corio. Ok, just stay on the ring road and we shouldn't be to far behind the locals. As we approached GZ we noticed quite a few cars already parked between us and any chance of a FTF. Oh well, not important , but it's always great to catch up with fellow cachers and have a yarn or two.
After retrieving the cache and adding our names to the log we discussed the plans for a FTF on the Bellarine Peninsula 9 metres up a tree. So with all teams in for some more adventure, Buzzmc, Dbelco and Kalianda09 all left for the beckoning FTF while we rounded up the ladder.
Thanks Ninny_Muggins for a fun night and the hide. Congratulations on your first placement.
