What a fun cache got it on 2nd attempt TFTC

TYFTC. Very interesting!! Another burnt area. So lucky!!!

Very lucky cache as they have done a forest burn up to its hiding spot. Took a couple of goes to get code but were successful. Tftc

Spending a few days in Geelong I decided that today I would target the Fun For Kids Trail especially as I need some more Regular size caches to complete a challenge. It was a beautiful day after a somewhat chilly start and the road was clear of traffic except for about four deadly treadlies riding past. Then a bit later on a few cars sped through. It appeared that these may have been on a rally. A successful day finding a variety of caches in a variety of hides.

GZ seemed to be in ashes

Out on an afternoon caching. Quick find and fun openingthe cache. Tftc

Found it. Thanks.

Luckily got it on the first yry. A 1 in 30? chance David

Fabulous day out caching with LittleMerpip doing this trail. TFTC

Out hunting the Fun for Kids series today with Team_Roberts1. Another nice little puzzle to work out for this one, thanks again to deshut for this one

This was our series to get today, out with deanside who kindly offered her 4wd to take us on the tracks.Had a great day but didn't get them all, due to not just sticking to the series but stopping for others nearby. Thanks fir a great series.

Lucky Im caching with the puzzle queen, ConnieandRick cache soon opened and log signed. Nice one, enjoying the diversity and callibre of these caches Thanks deshut for bringing me here and contributing to this great game for others to enjoy. Happy trails, Deanside

Another successful cache in the series, thank you for the fun

What a fun cache. Glad there were hints for the code so it didnt take too long.

As we drive along we try to spot the hiding spot as we approach. These ones further off the path are not so easy but we still had success with this one.TFTC

Thoroughly enjoying your caches through the forest. Thanks for the work you have gone to with the cache

No kids in my caching team, it's just me, however I had a great time in the area today grabbing about 20 in the series, with one DNF. I enjoyed all the different containers for each cache, along with the fun multis and puzzles. All up, a good hour or so driving through the forest.

Thanks for the series suehut and deshut.....a lot of work has obviously gone into them. All caches that were found, were without any issues and are in good condition.

We found the cache and were preparing for it too take a long time too figure it out, but hit it on the first try!! Love this one!!

Found out on a drive. Clever

Out for a lovely sunny day on the long weekend to try this trail with the geo-kids.
We live close but have never been here so decided we would give it a shot.
Nice easy find and lots of swaps for the kids.
Love this one and the little puzzle.
Gets a fave from us!!
TFTC.

It took me a little while to work out how to get into the cache, but only because I didn’t look at the device properly. Once I was in I went to grab the log and a lot of cache guardians of all different species started moving. I can honestly say I have never seen so many different bugs in one cache! They scuttled off pretty fast and the log was signed and everything put back in order. TFTC

12 months to the day this one hasn’t been logged very good find and and this one’s getting your favourite

Found it. Thanks

Found with senior Ogston girl. Tftc
Greetings from Adelaide

Heading down to Torquay with Bogonghazy. Nice hide. Thanks for placing the geocache

We decided on a trip to the Brisbane Ranges to take some time to be in the bush and go searching for some caches. The weather was started off being a bit windy and quite sunny. We stopped during this series twice to have lunch the first time and a cup of tea the second time. Each time the weather was lovely when we stopped, and it started raining as we were packing up. We had hoped to find the whole Fun for Kids series today, but we ran out of daylight. We will be back sometime soon to fill in the gaps. All cache we found was in excellent condition, and this would be a fantastic series to do with children. Thank you, suehut and deshut, for this excellent series.

Still my favourite. Checked the lock - working well. Removed a dead spider.

That was cool! Bit different from the rest! Thanks for the adventure!

Thanks for the cache!! This on was abit of fun and got the brain to think a little found with Memorychip at 10:10pm

Out once again in Brisbane Ranges, another beautiful winters day, with the kids, having a ball. They have absolutely loved this series, and it is perfect for kids. No traffic, easy to find, lots of swag! This one I couldn't find, Aysen opened the radius and soon found it! A nice cache stocked right up. Thanks Deshut! This whole series all deserves one big FP.

Clever & interesting. Tftc

We were looking around the dead tree branch for a bit then look under the tree and found it the lock was great we got it on our third try. What’s great box.

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. Today We started in Geelong but got a little frustrated with suburban caching so we headed to the Brisbane Ranges to do the Fun for kids trail.

This was one of the caches we found today.

Thanks deshut for the cache.

Out and about in the area with my geo buddy Rebel Acts putting some smiles on the map.
Really enjoyed this series, great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
Was a shame that some of the logs were water damaged and a few offline.
Signed log as RA + Om71

TFTC!

What a better chance then to grab a series of caches then a public holiday. Only 3 of The Famous Geo5 Crew made the journey to the Brisbane Ranges but 9 Year-Old, Geo-Dan joined the older two and got an absolute bliss out of the day. We were planning to get the bike out for Geo-Dan and for us older ones to run a bit on these last 4. Enjoyed the puzzle here, at least I wasn't left to try the 9999 different combinations . Signed here but had to get back into the car, still no good parking spots yet


Thanks for bringing us to these amazing caches in majestical wildlife deshut

Nice to be back caching after the Covid19 lockdown. Of course, care was taken with handling caches by using hand sanitizer before and after caches.

Kids had fun doing the combo lock! TFTC!

Loved the field puzzle and different box! Fun easy instructions on it, just a little trial and error. It may need some WD40 sometime in the future, but still working well. The container was well constructed, which a medium sized spider agreed with as it had made this it's home, so keep an eye out! Thank you so much!

I came out to the Brisbane Ranges for a number of reasons today. I wanted to find 18 caches to get to my 1000 find (this was my 11th for the day), to see some beautiful vegetation, to get out of the house and suburbs in this uncertain time of COVID-19, and to find some larger and interesting caches! I'd been looking at this series for ages, and it ticked all my boxes. After a reshuffle in the morning due to my car being unsuitable for the southern end, I'm working my way down. Thanks for an incredible series suehut and deshut, a truly excellent idea!

TFTC! Easy Puzzle & Find!

-TFTC

Nice clues and great challenge
TFTC

TFTC. A nice easy find.

Did a small run Friday to find a few more in this series. We had loads of fun. Half muggle mum grabbing the caches for me to sign. We replaced baggies that were ripped, added a good handful of toys and handmade kids jewellery to each one that was big enough for swag. Really enjoying this series can't wait to come back and finish the rest.
Only had 2 DNF this time around will look into trying to find them next time.

Spent a glorious day out in the Ranges collecting the caches in this series plus a few extras, most were found fairly quickly whilst others took a little longer , my GPSr had me looking 7 - 10m from where I actually located most of them.

TFTC

Had a great time with the kids driving through the Brisbane Ranges finding caches as we went.
Plenty of fun hides and lots of swag was traded.

Good easy find after rain last night.
TFTH ️

Out and about with annabella02, hunting gems , good long day that finished in the dark , many tftc's

Out again today trying to complete the Mystery at the Museum TFTC

Day caching with sassieold55 to collect a few gems, we had a good day, we had a couple of DNFs and missed the multis as we started the series late and finished in the dark with torches and for the two and a half drive home Thanks for the series suehut and deshut

Fun for kids and adults alike! A good trail with some clever caches, lots of interest to keep us going and some good scenery along the way. TFTC

Found it, thank you for this great series, lots to see along the way and very peaceful. We enjoyed the series.

Bahaha. Wasn’t very good at that one. Managed to solve eventually.

A drive through the Brisbane ranges finding this series. All nice and easy but all enjoyable! Such a pretty area. Enjoyed working my way up the track, listening to an audiobook, enjoying the sun and the mad dash from cache to cache grabbing as many as possible. Thanks for the series!

The day has warmed up and there is a nice breeze thru the trees each time we get out of the car.
This was another fun cache and we were glad that the options were reduced and we got it in the 4th attempt.
We really enjoyed exploring the Brisbane Ranges and appreciate the effort of your caches. Tftc

Made a start on this series just to finish the day after caching through Gordon, The Bungal Forest, Ballan and then the Legends Series. 42 caches for the day and the first 10 found this series here.
I haven't been to the Brisbane Ranges in over 25 years when i used to bushwalk for native orchids, of which i found many in this area.
The best cache of the first 10 for me, almost had a coronary when i read the first part about how many combinations i thought i might have needed to try! A FP for this one, just a little different!
Apologies for the generic log as these caches, although easy to find, were no less interesting with a great variety of hiding styles and the big cache sizes were very welcome. No wonder the kids enjoy them, i certainly did and I'll be back for more.
Thx to deshut and suehut for the great caches here.

Quick easy find. Thanks for bringing us here. We have never been here before, lovely spot.
Thanks for the cache deshut and suehut
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Out to cache on a beautiful (and not too hot day) this was our thirteenth find of the day!

Out caching on a beautiful day. Quick and easy find after getting on the main road and downloading the cache. Cool field puzzle. Thanks for the cache deshut and suehut

A beautiful sunny day to finish this great kids trail. TFTC
This one was fantastic

Love the mini puzzle! TFTC

Nice size. Nice hide. Good fun. TFTC

My sixth day of a 9 day caching road trip holiday.
Today I had set out to finish what I had intended to do yesterday before I ran out of energy (and comfort levels due to my wet shoes) and find my 11,000th cache. I had the specific one chosen, and coincidently there were many caching trails on the way.
In the end I managed to find 72 today.

Thanks for the caches.

Enjoyed the field puzzle
TFTC

After cracking the code the treasure was ours to enjoy.
Much appreciated.

Yesterday decided to go geocaching and after having this series on our list for a while we pack geokid and geotoddler into the car with a picnic and headed off and boy was it fun. We didn't get to finish it because the grand final was on and geodad and the boys were complaining it was getting too cold but we at least ticked off some of it. TFTC

*Out and about with Happy Feet*

A day cleaning up the 'Fun for Kids' series and finish off the current Legends series and a few more thrown in for good measure. Finished up with 54 and 0 A nice area for a drive and an enjoyable series. A variety of great and creative containers and some interesting hides. It was nice to have some company too.

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

Stamped and returned as found...

Cache-On!

Out for the day with my brother Snap Happy, cleaning up fun for kids series, that has been on the radar for some time. We also managed to grab a few extra caches along the way. We discovered many great and clever hides and had no DNF's amongst the finds. Some interesting scenery, in an area I don't normally travel. We didn't have any kids with us today but we still had a very successful day, with some laughs and good company.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the start of 2018 my average was only 47 words per log, which seems a long way from the 100 target. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 7000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 50 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Thanks deshut for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Out on this sunny day with BoatieTim and AliFS to turn this series into smilies.
Such a wonderful bunch of caches for the kids!
Well done!
Cheers deshut

We decided to head out for a picnic and enjoy the day, the youngest member of our team loved this series, and loved logging his own name where he could, he loved the puzzles when there was one, and raced to make the finds, thanks for the cache and the fun

Late logging found june long weekend with boydclan on a geocaching girls weekend

Dippa46 and I spent a most enjoyable day converting green to yellow on the map and having fun completing the various requirements for each cache. TFTC

Went out for a days search to see what we, MazzyMay and me, could find. We managed to find this one. TFTC.

Out with Grub62 trying to earn a few souvenirs. TFTC.

What a wonderful day to go geocaching - sun shining and good company with Bunadoorian. Back to try and find more of the Legends series and then to start the Kids for fun series. Of course our last option was successful . TFTC deshut and suehut. 14 of 30 today.

Loved the puzzle to get us thinking. TFTC!

Despite having no kids with us, we had a great morning finding these fabulous caches along the track. Such a pretty place, the weather was perfect, and it's a simply superb series for the geokids! TFTC

*19/5/18, Found @ 4:14 pm, Find # 7873.*

Today I headed West to attend, Come & Visit Parkville Nov 2018 - Wyndam Vale with biggles1024 but once that was over we then headed out to the Brisbane rangers to tackle a couple of different series, fun for kids was first followed by the Legends! series.
We started from the south and counted down to number 1 as we headed along this at times very rough and other time very good road.
At times the coordinates were very good and other times for us they were out a bit but in the end we were able to find them all and this series was completed.

**Thanks to deshut and suehut for placing this cache.**

**Find #3044**
**Traditional Cache Find #2094**

Trackable shown in cache inventory not present.

An early start was needed to head across the city to attend the "Come & Visit Parkville Nov 2018 - Wyndam Vale" event with SteMicMitSar and also find a number of caches in the area.
This looked like a fun series and with a number of Large containers to be found, was too tempting to pass up. We moved from the last to the first. Most were quick finds, but some needed cacher sense rather than our GPS's as the co-ords were at times up to 11m out for us today. The area was very quiet and only a small number of vehicles and people were encountered during the day.

**Thank-you to deshut for placing this geocache**

Managed to get the cache open on the 24th try at least that’s what it felt like

Clever little hide

Thanks for bringing me here

Found on 6 May 2018 at 2:40 pm.
This afternoon we headed out to do the Legends series and then continue on through the Brisbane Ranges to the fun for kids series as well to get another day of 50+ finds for a challenge we are working on. We were pretty successful, only one DNF on the Pacman Legends Letterbox cache and all others found.
It was pretty quiet today but a couple of times some ancient vintage motorcycles came through on a cruise. Why you would choose these dirt roads I do not know.
The other reason we wanted to do this trail is because we are slowly working on a challenge cache that requires 100 large size caches so this helped greatly.
As we got to each multi we swapped between puzzle solvers/clue gatherers while the other one randomly searched. We found a few finals like this today before the puzzle solving was finished. Not sure if that make us bad puzzle solvers or good searchers?

Played around with some numbers here and of course it was the last number....
Thanks deshut and suehut for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Spiffy- and I targetted some larger type caches and this series was perfect. Thanks to deshut and suehut for placing this cache.

The plan had been to go to St Arnaud yesterday, then do that Cito and the Ballarat CITO today, as as things would happen all plans fall apart. So instead left early this morning to make the 2 hour trip to Ballarat for the CITO, well that trip took 8 hours (well you have to find a cache or 2 on the way).

Ok so it took me all six options to get there

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.

Despite the frustration of convincing my partner in crime to stop and think about the instructions, we got there in the end.



One of my favourites of the day.



Someone has been spending way too much of her time staring into the screen of the laptop, so it was suggested that we go and find some fun Geocaches. As this series has the words 'kids' and 'fun' in their titles, they seemed to fit the bill. So, lunches, snacks and swaps packed, off we trooped. To her credit, ZombeeFish only complained about being bored during the drive out here about seven times...



So after enduring kilometre after kilometre of freeway 'safety works', and dealing with a few Legends on the way in, we reached the main attraction.



And they were exactly as advertised. Good sized, fun containers with plenty of swaps, enough trickery mixed in to keep the kids (and occasionally the adults) on their toes. Most of the time, I acted as chauffeur and let ZombeeFish work out where the hides were, sometimes with comical results.



deshut and suehut, as with most series, this is a generic log, with occasional colour. We got to #27 together, with the occasional nudge to continue, and it was dark for the last few. Thanks for some father and daughter entertainment.



Now, someone gets to stare at the computer screen sometime soon, to log her impressive total of 33 finds for the day. Ah, well, that's the bonus of having your own account, eh.

Another great challenge for the geokid. She enjoyed trying to get this one open and 'no you can't tell me how to do it, I have to do it!' TFTC we removed the resident spider so now all is in the clear again.

The lock challenge was a favourite for the boys. Successful achieved!! TFTC

Another quick find in this series of caches

We started this series over two years ago and decided to head back today for a drive in the Brisbane Ranges to find some more.

TFTC

A lovely day for maintenance and this lock box is in great condition.
Remember to read the numbers on the end of the lock or, as I did, you could waste a lot of time.
