On a visit from Sydney and decided to head out pre dawn for a caching run while the muggles were still asleep. Best time of the day to be out and about! Unfortunately the log was far too wet to sign.

No luck

Nice easy findTFTC

Nice easy find

I need just a couple more caches to finish off the month to collect the current souvenir and thought that this would be a great way to get that done. A nice sunny afternoon and a bit of time before I was due elsewhere I gave these ones a shot. Most of the caches on this series were in reasonable condition, especially considering the amount of time since they were placed.

Out and about on the Bellarine on a beautiful sunny day after the Geelong CITO. Found in the second place I looked.My thanks for the cache, suehut.

Another quick find.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache suehut

Spending the weekend at Dad’s place in Leopold and tackling another Geelong 70.3 Ironman tomorrow. I was a bit restless sitting at home so I thought I’d go out for a couple of hours and see if I can edge a bit closer to the next milestone I’m hoping to have by Easter at the Rutherglen Mega.
When I saw these two little trails on my map I thought you beaut! And they were just what the doctor ordered, nice easy finds on quiet roads. No DNFs on the trails either which is always a great thing!
Thanks for all the caches out here!

Next stop along the road in the series and another good find. Managed to find all the remaining ones in the series and was son on my way again.

Thanks for the fun suehut....

Nothing like a wonderful treasure hunt for treasure hunters like geocachers.
This series along the road was a lot of fun, and again, we could see the creativity and effort that has gone into making these lots of fun to discover.
We enjoyed this peaceful road, and say a big thank you to Deshut for the effort in putting this series together.

Slowly getting thru some of the small series of caches in this area.

Had a great success rate on the 10 here.

Not sure what happened to the other 5 that went to cache heaven

Great little country lane to travel down.

I made harder work on this one than needed.

It was camoed in the green well.

A quick find at this location on a great day to be out and about.
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.

My favourite container so far!

buhfuhguh and I went around the bay again today, this time over to St. Leonards where an event and CITO were scheduled to occur around the middle of the day.
A few particular caches were targeted on the way there and back with plenty of fun had in between!

Before the events commenced, I had some researching to do for a long multi-stage mystery and buhfuhguh spotted this small series on the way.
We decided to give it a crack and alternate retrieval duties depending on whose side of the car the posted coordinates were on.

Another quick find on this road, all signed and replaced.

Thanks to suehut for the traditional!

Day plan: drag brain out west for his 3rd cito so I can get my 20th and finally tick off a certain countdown cache challenge on my side of the bay. What are the bonus's collecting some D5's and other odds and ends we get throughout the day, who could really complain.

Found it! Thank you ️

Nice quick find for us today!

A nice little container… slightly larger than expected…. Gold to us!
TFTC

Had us moving around a bit. Even discovered what we thought was a faux cache.

Found with geokids on Tftc happy easter

A day's outing while staying at Bellbrae with Bogonghazy had us travel into Geelong where we jumped on the bikes to do a few of the rail trail series and finishing the day in Queenscliff.
This was another great cache in a ripper series on our journey today, thanks again Suehut

Out for the day with LittleBoss2 on our short escape to Anglesea. Today we started in the middle of Geelong and rode/worked our way to Queenscliff.
This was a great little series where the roads started great, but deteriorated badly by the end, meaning we decided to walk to the last 2 caches instead of risking the long muddy bogholes.
Thanks for a series that provided a few pleasant surprises SueHut

Nice easy find. I actually heard a steam train whistle while I was here. The occasional muggle has driven past but not while I’ve been at the caches. It’s quiet down here. The log is a little damp but I could still sign it. TFTC

Geohubby liked the container. TFTC

Out and about on this crisp night with TheLostWanderer. Nice and quick find Not a muggle to be seen, heard plenty of sheep tho.

Another one with Donutholes

Quick easy find. TFTC

A straight forward find
For several months now we have been doing regular caching runs with Rebel Acts, but commitments put a stop to that for a while. We have come down to stay in Geelong for a week or two, and invited Rebel to come for a few nights so we could complete some of the numerous caches around here. As usual we have signed our Joint find logs RASH (Rebel Acts SKI Pair).
The weather started out miserable today so we decided to stick with as many caches as possible that we could get from the car. A few short trails helped with with the numbers, and we were very pleased to see a number of small and regular caches instead of the micro and nanos we often find doing trails. Well done to the Bellarine CO's, its great to find the bigger
containers.

Found by Rebel Acts

My good friends Ski Pair were heading down to Geelong for a few days and invited Me to join them, who could resist being chauffeured around and the company and laughs are always good. We had a great time touring the area discovering new locations while finding caches, We even managed dinner with Suscoe and Busfire.

This is one of the caches we found for the week.

Logs signed as RASP (Rebel Acts Ski Pair)

Thanks suehut for the cache.

Quick find

Thanks For The Cache!!!!!!!!

TFTC easy once you found the right post

Ye

Quick find but 2 cars went past looking at us!

long grass TFTC

Doing maintenance for suehut, and this one is fine. Remember you are looking for a bison on steroids.

Co-owner of this one, just reminding you of the word 'fencepost''.

Gorgeous afternoon, light breeze, not too hot, and beautifully sunny. Decided to head out to Shepherd's Road and see what Treasure we could discover. We parked one car at the top of the road, and all piled into the other to drive to the other end. As the cache description suggests it can get a little wet at the bottom end of the road, and there were some lovely big puddles to drive through (a bit like jumping in puddles as a kid). Once we were safely parked (not overly easy at the lower end of the road but definitely possible), we started back up the hill to find the 15 caches. This one was the thirteenth one. This one took quite a bit of searching for us; maybe we were getting a little tired, I know my feet were Thank you deshut for this cache.

Sneaky but all good. Tftc

TFTC!

Thanks!

3A quiet muggy calm Tuesday morning.So off to Sheppards road. ( note ..series repetitive log). Thankyou for the adventure and the challenge. Cheers. All available logs located and signed a.a.c.

For TaurusSix and me this was another find

This was a bit trickier than the previous find. I read over the previous logs and had a bit more of a search and there it was. TFTC

TFTC quick find

A much bigger cache than what I was expecting. This is one heavy duty bison!

Out caching with Kristysadventures and classycacherAB along the trail! Now that’s one classy quality bison! TFTC. CACHE #2. Where for art thou . We will return for you if you return

Checked out the sheep while we were here. Tftc

Woke very early on Christmas morning, there was not a peep in the house and it didn’t appear there would be for a few hours. What to do?

Of course. Cache time.

This little series has been on my radar for a while now, and today was the day to do it. B & C enjoyed the variety of containers here and were happy to come away with 14 finds out of 15. Finishing them all wouldve been nice, but thems the breaks sometimes

Thanks suehut for placing this Micro Traditional - this is find 1792 for BFMC

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

Found your cache today. suehut, thank you so much for placing it.

Out for the caching day with Crank1 & Everlasting in and around Geelong. Found your cache. Thanks deshut for placing it and for the fun in this series.

Accompanied with crank1 and pwala for the day,
We had a good fun - search and found and signed the log as EV + crank1 + pwala. [^]
Thanks suehut for the cache and hunt.

Having just completed hiking the Bellarine Rail Trail over the last two days we couldn’t resist making the most of the last hour of daylight and so we came in search of some of the caches in this series. This one took a bit of searching for by torchlight as by now it was now almost completely dark, but suddenly there it was! We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

No joy here.
Got muggled out by a farmer going about his business.
Will have to return at a later date.

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today.
This one had us stumped for a few minutes but there it was!
TFTC

After the very hot weather today is great for caching. Had a good look & extended the GZ from our initial target but no luck today.

15 0f 29 with geokid 6. this was our first day out with our new garmin 20x, as a result i somehow skipped over it on our way up. found in no time on the way back. TFTC

Grub62 and I have turned our frowns upside down. After having a DNF on this one and seeing the newly completed owner maintenance we read the updated description and after a bit of a search found the offending article. TFTC.

YAY- having read all the recent logs - Bunadoorian and I were on a mission to find this cache before heading to the Portarlington Mussel festival. Searching, searching and yay I found it!! So well hidden. TFTC suehut very happy to make this one a smile now.

No sign off the ground. GPS and phone had me heading towards road.

Found whilst touring Geelong & Ballarat areas between Xmas & New Year with Freddo, Team Waldron and e.gregory1 - we've signed as F.E.T.T.
Some pretty hot days but great scenery and good co-ords & caches hides made for an enjoyable trip
TFTC suehut

A few days away with Freddo, e.gregory1 and The White Dog Gang.

Fun was had by all. Not too many dnfs

Most logs signed as FETT.

Thanks for all the caches.

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for a fun cache. We signed the logbook FETT.

Found with Freddo, Team Waldron and thewhitedoggang on a short, post-Christmas sojourn to Victoria that involved plenty of driving, cycling, walking and even some boating and wading.

The weather was on our side (albeit a little warm at times), which made for some great caching. There were plenty of varied finds, with some excellent and often tricky hides and and just a few DNFs. We signed most logbooks ‘F.E.T.T.’

Thanks suehut for the cache.

Wasn’t too keen searching in among the long grass, but come up with the find. Tftc

After a series of dnf's, I approached with some trepidation. This one had been fixed some time back, and moved about half a metre. It was changed to one of the slightly larger bisons in a lovely metallic green, a good hiding colour.
Was it still tere?
Yes, it most definitely is there, and no-one has yet signed the replacement log.
As a bit of a reward for reading this maintenance note, I'll tell you that it is not on the ground.
Note the difficulty factor.

Just re-read all the dnf's. OK, this is an easy series, meant to be fun.
But I think a lot of quite experienced cachers have not noticed that the difficulty factor is not 1.5, so it's not a dead giveaway, and it's not huge like most of the ones in this series.
BUT, it is there.

TFTC

could not see anything, even taking the rating into account

Found this series in reverse order .
Much effort has gone into it .
But unfortunately a DNF on this one .
Thanks again for your series deshut suehut .

A weekend away with FWBs, and introduction to Power trail caching. This is a generic log to help me catch up with the long overdue logging of my found caches. Please note that each cache and location can be remembered but due to time restraints unable to personalize each log. The date logged may also differ to day found. Thank you for sharing this location for us.
JABs.

Will check this one again when next in vicinity.
Just in case, note difficulty is 2.5, so its not in the obvious spot of the fence post, even though it is on the fenceline.

Found the obvious spot. Not there.

DNF @ 18:38 with The Good Lady Wife.

With the light fading, and no torch on me at the moment, I decided to cut my losses and move to the next one before I ran out of time.

Thanks anyway suehut

Was here good ten minutes making sure this wasn't missing .. Looked for a micro in all the places , plenty of trampled ground where people have looked , Nothing. Just reading your log now .. So I will go back for a last thorough look some later stage.

This cache has needed maintenance most of its life for various reasons. The ultimate indignity is that it has disappeared. So deshut, acting for suehut, has replaced it by a bison , but it is still hard to find, hence the difficulty rating, slightly reduced. Note, no camo now.

Searched for a while, but no luck today.

We searched, decided to give up, drove off, but then reversed back to look again. No joy for us today

This green dot sadly gets converted to a sad face instead of a smiley today.

Grub62 and I decided to do Shepherd's Road Treasure series and the Do You Believe In series so I could finish the world turtle souvenir also getting 1000 cache logs for myself. Most of this series was very clever and easy to find which assists old eyes like mine. Swag left in the caches where there was room and nothing taken.Thank you Deshunt for these 2 series of caches. TFTC. Grub62 and I looked high and low for this cache but with no luck. There seems to have been some works done by the owner of the property so it could have been muggled.

An important day of caching - hope to get my 150th find, Bunadoorians World Turtle and his 1000th find - so we started on the Shepherd's Road Treasure series then onto Do You Believe In series both by deshut and suehut. Then finishing in Queenscliff at 360degrees. #0 of 30 today. With reading previous logs we did look in the snake zone and for quite a while but unfortunately we didn't find it. TFTC and the Shephard's Road Treasure series.

After doing the Fairy series I have come across to do this Treasure series. The road was a bit rough at the start and there was one big puddle I was a bit worried the Commadore wouldn't make it through but it did. Some great design for the different caches and I will award some Fav points to a couple. Thanks again for another great series deshut.

Found it but almost got muggled by a council truck - I wonder what they think of random people poking around the shrubbery , every 250 meters ! Tftc

Another day looking good with no rain with sassieold55 we wanted to add smileys to this series Tftc

**"WesPro's Most Misguided 100 In A Day Adventure" Pt 47**
Now that we've come up the hill a bit, the cold wind really bites. Might have to put the jumper back on again... or not. I'll just have to run faster!
Thanks heaps, DesHut!

Find No. 2292. Found with FUF009 at 12.43pm

Well what can we say when FUF009 said it all.

We done a day trip to Geelong, some three hours away, and FUF009 came with us.
Our aim for the day was to do the D2B series plus three other caches close by, then the Shepherd's Road series and Do You Believe In ... Series, to get a total of 75 caches for the day to help us get the Hidden Creatures Souvenirs.

Finishing these three trails earlier than expected we then went on the AB4C series, seeing how we had both worked on these puzzles together. We grabbed a few others along the way and at the end of our caching day in the Geelong area, we had clocked up 100 finds. WOW - This is a first for us and a day that we won't forget.

* We got our first cache at 8.59am and our last cache at 4.55pm.
* We had rain at the start that made the roads muddy and changed the colour of our car from red to brown.
* We stopped twice for eats and cuppas - Lunch at D2B 43 at St.Leonards, on the waters edge then again near AB4C #13 at the dead end road.
* An enjoyable caching day was had by all of us despite the weather, plus the day was made less time consuming with well maintained caches therefore no time was wasted on DNF's.

Find # 6814

Found with Tyred n Cranky

A day of caching to help out with accumulating enough smileys to try and get closer to the 100 needed for the Hidden Creatures souvenirs.

We started off on the D2B trail where Tyred n Cranky’s Magna changed from a nice red colour to a lovely shade of brown, the true colour for a geocacher's vehicle.
Thankfully the rain had blown away by the time we got down to St Leonards, just leaving the cold wind behind.

After a lunch stop down near D2B #43 we then headed off for the "Shepherd's Road Treasure" series and then to the "Do You Believe In ..." series.
again both the roads added to the colour of Tyred n Cranky’s Magna.

After completing these we realised we had plenty of time left in the day for more and then added to the plans and headed off over to the AB4C puzzle series near Waurn Ponds.

On the way around, for the day, there were a few of extra caches thrown in to the mix, as they were “close by” or on the way.

With a few caches, that took some minutes to locate or get into, But with persistence and patients we managed to make a find on all in the day.

All in all we ended up with a finds totalling just over 100. This is the first time that Tyred n Cranky have made the big 100 in 24 hours. A great fun and memorable day indeed.
