30 Days, hath September, April, June & November, all the rest have 31, except February alone, which has 28 days clear & 29 in each Leap Year!
A rhyme we learnt way back in Primary school, has taken on a whole new dimension since we began Geocaching!
With the puzzle solved - visited GZ in the hope cache might be in place, no luck - we will return!

Thanks for the hunt anyway Glanville Girls.

I was headed on into Ballarat today,
and stopped by this cache to see what's what Smile

I knocked on a few trees,
but no caches answered !! [:o]

Couldn't find this one today Sad

I thought I had run out of Favorite points here but I seem to have scrapped one up from somewhere. Another really cool cache container. The puzzle had me stumped until I handed it to my bored year 10 daughter who handed it back and blurred out the coords, while I coolly said well I hadn’t really looked at it properly yet.

Thanks for the adventure Glanville Girls

Mr jiwilly solved this one some time ago and had been on our to-do list for some time! So today we made a point to attempt a lot of the "solved" puzzles on a gorgeous sunny Sunday morning! Master 7 was oh so upset when he couldn't take it apart as he "loooooooves" Legos, but he was happy to settle for the cache itself! This was a very well crafted cache indeed and certainly worth the FP for the effort and the fact that this whole series was super awesome! Thanks for the cache Glanville Girls, as always, an amazing effort gone in! TFTC, TNLNSL, CIGC
 
01-Jun-19
A few of us had been caching in and around Ballarat today as well as the events and CITO. We decided that even though it was dark and fairly cool, we would take a detour on our way back to Melbourne and try our luck with these caches. We are so pleased we did. They are great fun and well thought out and constructed. Thanks for the effort that you have put into them. They all are deserving of favourites from us. Thanks for placing them for us to find. This one would have received a favourite just for it's name and then we saw its construction. Well done, love it.
 
01-Jun-19
I had a great time with Geofriends to finding your cache Glanville Girls, fav from me thank you so much for placing it.
 
01-Jun-19
A day out in Ballarat with others resulted in some great times and as always, good finds. A few people in the car were targeting caches for different challenges, but I was just along for the ride... and perhaps the CITO. Thanks for placing the cache Glanville Girls, yet another favourite point!

Caching day with Geofriends after CITO, thank you so much for placing it Glanville Girls.

On a forecast damp dismal and not many degree day I met up with the ever obliging Bushfire and Flynn230103. After attending the events at Pykes Creek we used the remainder of the day caching what a delight to find this beautiful coloured cache. A favourite point for sure TFTC Glanville Girls
 
30-Mar-19
Today I went out with Bushfire and Au fiat to chase some caches and to do some events along the way. Bushfire called last night for a pick-up in the morning, and of course I was ready. It was really cold, about 11 degrees, and after the first hour I was starting to regret my decision to wear shorts. We went up around Ballan, Creswick and Ballarat to do these caches. Anyway, thanks to all the owners of these caches, they were all excellent, and sorry for the generic log, I just have so many caches to log after today.

An amazing puzzle and a stunning hide! Favourite point added
 
30-Mar-19
With an early start from Geelong au.fait & Flynn joined the ageing Bushfire to journey up to Pykes Reservoir for two Events and then slowly up to Creswick and arrived home about 6.30 after an enjoyable day of work, play and enjoyed good company all day.
We all added some extra points to our tally for the "Creation Celebration" competition and 500 is looking closer but still some work to do yet.
This guy was one our list and duly found, signed and returned.
An enjoyable cache and you can see that lots of thought and effort has gone into the creation so a third F.P. to add to the ever growing list.
Thanks Glanville Girls for placing this cache for us to find.

Took me a little longer to work this one out, but staring at it long enough brought me the answer. TFTC

Being home on holidays I've finally had some time to work on some mystery caches as I'm not normally very good with them. With help from a friend who showed me some more solving techniques I've had another look at the Glen Park series and finally something has twigged in the old grey matter and I've worked these out (although I did know what to do with Marble Manor, just too lazy to do it!)
So today with the geofamily and geodog along for the ride we've come out to do these well regarded caches. Mrs Perpetuallylost found this one and Marble Manor, both great caches, this was the highlight cache for our daughter who loves her lego as well so we couldn't wait to see this one!
Thx GreenvilleGirls for putting out these great Mystery caches. FP for each of them!

What can I say? This is such a well made cache.
After solving the puzzle we came out to sign the log.

**Total find count: 493**

Today was a quiet caching day, interspersed with rain showers and shopping. A few interesting caches along the way.

Nice to find a cache of this calibre. Not many of them around home at the moment. But seeing this makes me want to set one up of my own.

Otherwise all is in good condition.

*29 Jul 2018, Found @ 6:44 am, Find # 8122.*

Today, I headed back to Ballarat to attend the CITO event at Union Jack creek tree planting but first I had another mission and the was to find a few more puzzle caches so that I could qualify for the 1000 Unknown cache challenge.
I had an early start and this was the first for today, I arrived at GZ and was able to find the cache quickly but then a road block, a quick check of my notes and I was off and running again, the cache was retrieved and the log signed.

**Thanks to Glanville Girls for placing this cache, I do like the amount of work you put into your caches.**
 
20-Jul-18
LeeLee's goal this month is the mystery challenge and with that comes the challenge of LeeLee doing mysteries! With a great teacher Crackers, I am super pleased when I solve ones myself. This was one.
The cache itself was just as rewarding. A lot of effort has gone into it and unfortunately we have no FP left Sad Will add one when we can.
TFTC Glanville Girls. Enjoyed this one and look forward to doing the others soon.

With a CITO and a Parkville precursor event in Ballarat this afternoon being great incentives to head west, a full day of Geocaching was planned. Some of that plan even happened...

This cache, which I'd looked at with interest and solved when it was nominated for the Victorian awards (and liked so much that I voted for unseen), was high on the list, and as it was convenient to my route to Creswick (my major destination for an ongoing challenge), I looked at its siblings and got results I was happy with as well.

And well worth that nomination. Such a fun box, even if I did get a bit of a start when its fuzzy occupant popped out with the log.

Thank you for a truly fun puzzle and cache, Glanville Girls.

I got an evening call, asking if I was busy on Saturday. Seeing as I had no plans, I decided to join Na'wal on a road trip. We had a handful of solved puzzles to collect, so we packed the car and hit the road. We had the little na'wals in the back seat, keeping us entertained for the whole trip. We found a good mix of mysteries, trads and multis as well. Thanks to all of the CO's for creating and maintaining these hides.
I was scratching my head with the puzzle, until I had the light bulb moment. The kids loved the hide here. TFTC Glanville Girls Big Grin
 
30-Jun-18
DAB and I planned a last minute cache exploring day with the little Na'wals. The plan was to make our way through Creswick doing a little 4WDing and geocaching, targeting a few puzzles we had solved and a few others too. DAB and I worked together to solve this one and after working out what to do, we had co-ords to locate the final. What an awesome cache! Anything Lego we love at home. The puzzle was not as easy as we thought and took a few goes before we hoped we were right. Thankfully we were and the cache was found easily after walking the wrong way at first Smile

**Thanks to Glanville Girls for placing this cache for us to find and enjoy** Smile

Heading out for some targeted caches after a roast dinner at Mum's we set out for Glen Park to add 3 new real estate properties to our portfolio in the company of wozzle68. Like the latest edition to the area, these fun puzzles were solved the day of release making the open house inspections easy even in the dark.
Thanks Glanville Girls for the fantastic effort put into your series.

Wow wow wow thought I got a fright at the first "Home among the gum trees" cache but nope that was nothing compared to the spider i just encountered he was inside the cache waiting to greet me. I'm sure he is Australias biggest spider!!

A cool little puzzle and a theme that I have always liked. Arriving at GZ, well what can I say, apart from awesome is not enough to describe this fantabulous hide! I wish I could give it multiple favourite points.

Found by Mary & David at 1257. A lovely day, housework done, gardening done, and no appointments, so early lunch and we're off to try some COTY nominees. So much to enjoy in the country, with gum trees, stock, and quiet roads. David enjoyed the puzzle and here we are. Superb construction, security, lovely location and so much fun. A definite FP from us too. Our thanks to Glanville Girls.

TFTC. We had solved these puzzles for the Mystery month of caches however we had completed the required number and now removing puzzles from the solved pile to the found pile. We were returning from Melbourne after a weekend Christmas with the children and grandchildren, a short detour from the road to Maryborough and cache was quickly in hand. A superb construction and worthy of a favourite point.

What a brilliant cache - how do you do it? Thanks again for the time and effort you put into your caches. A def fav. TFTC

A great cache find whilst in the area and a fav point from me - well done on the construction of your hide, it is wonderful!

Out caching today with buddies in between events on the lead up to Christmas.

I was accompanied by the lovely micaparamedic who'd come to Adelaide to see me, and then we drove to Victoria so that I could attend a number of events, have Christmas, spend time with friends and of course to do some caching! Cool

Thanks so much for the cache Glanville Girls! Smile

How could one not be delighted with this one.
Both the puzzle and the hide.
An absolute favourite because we love lego and love the work that you put into your hides.

When we first approached this one, there was another car parked right where we needed to park. We wound down our car window and started the conversation with a straight out "are you geocaching?" He had no idea what we were talking about, and it put him a bit on the back foot we think. The conversation went no further and he started mumbling about needing to go into the bush and told us to get on our way. So we did. We drove up to the end of the road, well out of sight, but he had turned around and seemed to be watching us from a distance, so we drove well away and came back a bit later on. Weird. Anyway when we came back, no sign of anyone at all, and the delightful cache was found easily and in good condition.

TFTC Glanville Girls. A fave from us.
 
18-Dec-17
Certainly worth sorting the puzzle - thanks to McLookers - when the end result is such a special cache hide. G.G's you have excelled in your manufacturing yet again. A favourite is given.

When I got a message from Ausfox; today to see if I wanted an evening caching I couldn't refuse. Where was the only question. We had a few solved mysteries in the Ballarat Area and one of them was one I needed for my next D/T loop so that is where we headed. Neville_devil who is always keen also joined us for the trip.
When this puzzle first was released I was over thinking it. When I gave it a second look a few day or weeks later I finally saw what was required and the numbers presented themselves.
A nice piece of work on the construction here as well giving the cache a hide fitting with the puzzle which in my mind always equals a favourite point.
Thank you Glanville Girls for a great cache

I needed a day off work to get over the Alexandra event, and saw that this was a simple puzzle. So, with not too much trouble I had the co-ords for Gz. At Gz I could`nt believe my eyes, fantastic craftsmanship. A fave point going towards construction. Keep up the great work Glanville Girls, I really like discovering your caches. Cigc. Tftc

I'd solved this as soon as it was published, along with your other nearby cache, but I wasn't able to find it until today on a day trip from Bendigo to Ballarat with Claybol and our respective geokids. What an absolute ripper!!! Love everything about this - the puzzle and the incredibly constructed cache. So much effort has gone into making this and very deserving of yet another favourite point. I think that makes it 7 from 7! Thank you Glanville Girls for bringing us here, and thank you for the cache Smile

Find #1513 for me. While most other cachers were attending the Mega event in Alexandra, I was making another regular trip to visit Mum and find some more caches in Ballarat, this time with kazba16 and son on board. We stopped here on our way in. I'd solved this and your other nearby puzzle cache soon after publication and had them on my watch-list ever since so I knew they were going to be good after reading the incoming logs. I certainly wasn't disappointed here! Wow, five favorite points from five logs - let's make that 6 out of 6! Top effort Glanville Girls, as usual! ...and thanks for yet another very creative cache! ...oh, and thanks for the puzzle too!

You have no idea how sophisticated I got with this one.
Way way too deep for a 2 diff puzzle.
Once I stepped back for another look it all became clear.
No need for a checker!!
A gorgeous hide at GZ which I was extra extra careful with
Another favourite coming your way, in fact 2 points

Suscoe was in Ballarat visiting family today and with a bit of time up our sleeves we dropped by GZ to see what this cache was about.
With the puzzle recently solved it was a quick find.

When solving this one I had a fair dinkum blonde moment as a tried to resolve the listed difficulty rating with what I was seeing on the page. But I soon had the ah-hah DUH moment when I noticed something and bingo a set of coordinates was found. Thanks to the Glanville Girls again for another fantastic stand out cache that brought a big smile to my face. {FTF} at 8:43
