Aldi reminds me of Franklins

Spotted, just waiting for a muggle to nick off before retrieving

Cache was found after a short search. Thanks for the fun. Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumalated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Fryer's day the eighteenth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

Bloody nano. Exterminate anyone that hides nanos and burn down the factory Travelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache

Was a great little spot

Came across some unlogged caches around Leongatha This was one of them. A sneaky little cache and luckily not many muggles about TFTC crig

On day two of our our twelve day spring break in Australia, it was time for us to go camping. Yesterday we went shopping after visiting the the doctor and gaining enough supplies for our camping trip, and the morning meant it was time to head our of Melbourne. Our destination for the next couple of days is the Wilsons Promontory National Park, where well be camping and calling it our new home. From the 40+ degrees back home, its a real significant change to be camping in around 10 degree nights. With the trailer in tow, the four of us left Mitcham and headed south, and along the way I got our muggle friends hooked on the search. That meant that luckily, while Laura and I were passengers, we were still able to navigate our stops. The fourth stop we made along our drive as we stopped in this town to get some cold supplies and food. We split up and and while I went to check on the price wars in the local store, Heath went for ice and the ladies went for a coffee. After buying some goodies I returned to GZ where I tried again to spot the stash (as previously there were a few muggles parked nearby), but once again I didnt manage to spot it, even with no muggles around. I ended up leaving empty handed at 12:42 pm, feeling a little defeated and hoping it was just me being blind. Thanks nonetheless kbucky for the listing and brining me here!

Stopped for a driving break in Leongatha on my way down to Waratah bay to take a walk and pick up a few caches. This one was the first stop and didnt take too long at all, log signed and replaced as found.Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.Tftc

Came down to the korumburra show nice quick find while waiting for the fireworks.

We finally found price wars! After multiple DNFs we finally got it, and boy Im embarrassed that we didnt find this previously. But a great cache nonetheless. TFTC crig and kbucky

Nice spot TFTC!

Out visiting the area. Why not find some caches. Thanks for placing the cache.

Found, wasnt expecting a nano tho

Looked where I thought it would be but no luck. Idk if its still there or not. Thanks anyway

In the area for a party on Saturday but ended up staying Saturday night, so had some time for a few on Sunday.Found after a short search.Cheers Omegaman.

Tftc crig. Out and about today with geokids, mostly looking for playgrounds. Quick find by one of them after we descended the ramp and looped around.

Quick find when no-one was looking, signed and returned.

While staying in Inverloch for a couple of days, we ventured to Leongatha for lunch. Very impressed with the town. Lovely lot of shops and quite busy. Nice easy find thanks for the cache.

Luckily we were straight onto this one.
It’s starting to rain again!
TFTC

Found it. Tftc

Found in the drizzly evening rain the last one of my walk around Leongatha tonight. The only place it could be really. Thanks.

I could not see or feel this one.

Proved too difficult for me this time. I’ll have to drop by again to test my luck and eye sight on this notorious cache.

TFTC quick find after getting a few groceries on the way to Wilson’s Prom

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 9.4 feet or 2.9 meters.

Ever so slight change of location.

Cache replaced and location changed slightly. Description altered to match change of location. Had to as was too precarious and too many nanos gone missing due to a bump.

Yep,it’s missing. Will rethink hide as I inherited this one and it is precarious

Searched for quite awhile to no avail. May need checking.

Good luck to everyone who tries to find the geocache.

The morning was Cold and windy but after days of non stop rain I wasn't complaining. My GPS was miss behaving as it did for most of the day, so systematic mode was switched on after re reading the cache description. Cache located but log is full squeezed my stamp on somewhere before replacing cache.

First time finding a cache this small! Thought I had only found the lid and the rest had fell down!
No room left to log

couldn’t find it

If you use strategy you can find it

On a geocaching trip with Gnome5580 and this took a bit of searching in the wrong spot before Gnome5580 found it in a slightly different location than suggested by the gps. TFTC!

After searching for a bit in the wrong place. I reread the description and the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks for the find

Found with icw. I combined the hint with observations contained in the logs and searched accordingly. Tftc.

Another one bites the dust as a previous finder says be careful. TFTC

We were lucky to arrive here and find that the place was just about deserted. It is just as well as it took us a little while to locate this one. Don't want to give anything away but be careful when looking for this or it could end badly. Thanks for the cache.

That was a sneaky little blighter. It didn't take as long as it might but it did help that there was not a muggle in sight. Be very careful when looking for this one. Thank you for placing this for us to find.

Took me a couple of try to find this little sucker.

Tftc

I tried to be discreet. “Geocaching?” the woman putting her shopping in the car asked as I stood around looking at my phone nonchalantly, waiting for a chance to look. “I don’t where it is sorry” Cover blown, I started to look and quickly found it. Thanks crig

Found with help from Hearse068 on a day out caching around town. OMG I’ve nearly forgot what to do it’s been that long been drinks so to speak. We had lots of fun hanging out like we use to. Thank you so much for taking the time to place this cache it was very enjoyable. TFTC think I have blinkers on today

Nice easy find

TFTC

This could be really nasty if someone dropped it. Fortunately we were safe.

Away with wifey mc wife wife for a mid week trip away relaxing close by. Trying to balance cacheing and op shopping.
I could not believe I put my hand in the exact spot the cache was located first time. Sometimes you are just lucky!
Cache in great condition. Now we are of for a quick shop.

Great little hide, second cache we've found on our way from Pakenham to Welshpool. I quickly searched for it when we stopped to get supplies from the supermarket.

A trip down to Fish Creek for a few days.
I was a bit early, so stopped for a few on the way after I was out of the Big Smoke.

Certainly a busy spot! Fortunately not a difficult hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

Stopped in at Leongatha for dinner on the way to Wilson’s Prom and while dinner was being cooked went off to find this geocache. Had to be super stealthy because of a few people around but managed to find it pretty quickly and signed the log and was off again. thanks for the cache !!!

Finally after so many attempts to find it

The has taken a few attempts to find ...finally !! Watch out for spiders !

Can’t find

Howwwww! Even after a big hint we cannot find it would be about our fifth search.

????

The weather was looking good and I needed to get out of the house, with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I headed out to explore more of Gippsland, armed with My mask and Sanitizer, I had a great day exploring the region, this is one of the caches I found today. No trouble with this one, a quick feel and grab.

Thanks kbucky for the cache.

Tried so many times yet still a fail! We need a hint to be able to get this!!

Price Wars was transferred from crig to user kbucky

Easily found when you get the right idea, otherwise very tricky!! Smallest we have ever found!! TFTC!!

Finally. It’s easy to find when it is actually there.

Omg! The marathon gc. helps when it’s there. I suggest to people to go gently. Thanks Crig!

A long fruitless search no success

Either GPS way out or bad cache blindness. No luck today

Embarrassing to admit but after 5 searches I have not found this gc is it still there?

That took a few try’s but finally found it

Have been here 3 times now still no good

Found it finally after a while of searching. Thanks for the cache

Found after a bit of finger searching. Fortunately I was able to pretend to be watching the Aldi truck driver making a mess of pulling into the loading bay when muffled walked by.
Thanks

This took a while.

Took awhile but found it

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! for a quick find on a lovely sunny day TFTC&H Crig

Found - FLTF

Tricky due to muggles. Nearly knocked cache off it's hiding spot.
Tftc

Will have to try again

:]

Being Good Friday I had the whole area to myself and soon had the cache in hand replaced the full log with a fresh one and rehid it

Find 2048
Well this one had us searching as GPS was all over the place. We tried lots of spots and then I went a little wider. Ah there it is and then i lost half of it. Oh no. we managed to see where it had fallen so back to the car and a special tool managed to grab it. The log is full and will need a new log sheet, but I managed to put a little sign. All back safe again.
Thanks crig

A quick find in the middle of the Leongatha shopping precinct.

Catching up with some very late logs

We had set aside a few days to explore Gippsland with alansee endeavoring to aid him reaching 30,000 finds before the Queanbeyan mega event at Easter.

We visited rail trails, parks, mountains seeing beautiful scenery along the way as well as enjoying some lovely walks as well as some easy drive by's. The weather was mostly kind to us enabling us to search for the caches in comfort.

we were pleased that this sneaky little blighter didn't take us too long to find and add our names to the log.

Thanks crig for the cache.

Found with Team Crackers today. After while common sense won out and we got the cache.

Have been casually stalking this one for a while and today I finally placed my hand on it! Happy days Log is full, but we squished our name in. TFTC

Camped at Dumbalk after returning from Tasmania. Looking for a few caches in the area today. Quick find. Tenth for the day, and our 8100 find. TFTC

On way to Wilson’s prom so stocking up in local shop and sure enough cache nearby, log book full, signed in a space, tftc

Accompanied with pwala outing for caching today.
The weather was very warm.
Enjoyed ourselves
