Great find!

Thanks, found with whereizej

Nice sneaky find! We both didnt have premium so had to guess the location. Found with EJsDad.

Another nighttime find to keep my streak going. Busy oval with little muggles practicing soccer, with chattering parents on the sidelines or doing power walks. Glad this is still present, after a missing one (#5) nearby. Mind you, no number at the bottom of this cache container for the final one. TFTC Sicad69

Great cache. A lot of people around on a nice day. TFTC!

Great hide took us 5 minutes.

Found it but no log. Someone has substituted with a parking ticket so signed that

Quick find despite cricket match nearby. TFTC

This cache , as well as all my caches are available for adoption as I have moved from the area and cannot maintain anymore.

Found it, but the log was missing. So here’s a photo for proof!

Got wrong side at first

Quick find! TFTC

Quick and easy find on a lovely day. TFTC

Have you got my search at the wrong end so this one took longer than it should have. However it was still a relatively quick and easy find on a quiet Monday morning

Quick and easy find

This was the only find for the day. Needing a traditional to fill in a missing date in my calendar, I pulled out my list of traditionals that would potentially be easy to locate and noted this was the next one on the list. A wash, rinse repeat of the previous week when I was here last but this time for a different cache. Taking advantage of the chance to increase my number of steps for the day, I enjoyed the walk to GZ. There was only one likely spot where the cache would be hidden, but that spot had several options. Oh dear - I settled in, checking each and every spot but came up empty-handed. After checking some logs and photos, I realised what I would be looking for and decided to search again but from a different angle. Thankfully, something revealed itself and using a nearby stick, managed to carefully extract the cache. SL. TFTC.

That was a creative idea my mum struck her fingers in it to get it out

Today I went for a walk here. I was able to spot the cache immediately.

Unfortunately I didn't have a pen with me and so I lay with a photo. I'll make up for the entry soon.

Thanks for hiding

Clever hide.

A quick find as we explore the park. TNLN TFTC

#3 of the day! Nice and easy find! Tftc

Where you think it would be. Spider alert!
TFTC!!

Cool thanks

Found it! Nice easy one for the kids to find

Found it, thought i was going to get bitten by a spider though! TFTC

Didn’t take too long tftc

Found it. Thankyou for the hide. Few spiders though

Sneaky little camo find

After #7 I headed around to #5. It took a few circuits to find the container even though I had a good idea of where it would be. TNLNSL, TFTC

First find of this series and the day. Found it rather quickly

It was very quiet and dark down here. I wasn't having much luck until I stopped to think "where would I put it". Container has no cover but log seems to happy to stay inside. Thanks Sicad69.

Another find for the series.

Out caching with Rama497. Met a fellow here that was interested in what we were doing. Explained the game and I think he might be a new player. Nice to meet you Peter.

Yay! Finally found it! Missed the original hide, but had my suspicions where it would be and didn’t take long to find it. Didn’t have pen on me though.

Visiting the area for the new Adventure Lab, I also finally found this one. All others were found ages ago so happy to have the series finally completed.
TFTC.

A quick find with the geodog Zelda while attempting the new AL around here. After circling the structure I spotted it. If I had gone anti-clockwise I reckon I would have seen it in less than 5 seconds. TFTC

After taking our grand doggie to the dog park, we went for the walk and found this cache. Good hiding place, well protected from the weather. Thank you for this cache.

The OlMaLol’s arrived back from QLD today and whilst Mr OlMaLol had to return to Canberra, miss OlMaLol stayed with her family for a few more days. We had previously taken them caching with us and they loved it so much that we set up an account for them. And thus another cacher exists! So along with our geopup and the newbies, AusPol, we went for a gentle stroll around the park collecting a few caches.

This was a quick find at GZ as AusPol had already searched prior to Miss OlMaLols arrival and come empty handed. I think the lid got stuck on removing this cache. Tftc

Nice hide!! Thanks for maintaining high activity spot. Early morning works well!

looked for about 20 minutes with no luck

On my weekly visit whilst my wife is at an appointment at Norwest Private Hospital.

Relocated cache as original was muggled.

Cache has been replaced and relocated. Beware of muggles.

This one once again has gone missing. (Bloody local kids)
I will rethink and probably relocate asap.

Ditto to what Pandsa wrote

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. CACHE LOG HAS NO CONTAINER. PLACE INSIDE BOTTLE TOP AGAINST TREE.

CACHE LOG HAS NO CONTAINER. PLACE INSIDE BOTTLE TOP AGAINST TREE. No number for mystery cache at end.

Excellent camaflogue

Cool hide

A good half hour of looking. Up tree. Round tree. No luck today. We will have to return to complete the Balcombe Heights collection. Until next time.

Mhm yes

Nice

??

Found it very quickly

Didn’t take us long surprisingly it was a great hide! TFTC

On a lovely winters day, morty8888 and I had our first day out caching since the lockdown restrictions were eased. We enjoyed the walk around the Balcombe Heights Estate, an area we hadn't previously visited. We also enjoyed the six quirky cache containers which we found without too much heartache. TFTC Sicad69.

First caching day with Oldmorty since the lockdown and restrictions. Perfect weather and we headed to an area we have danced around but not found.
Oldmorty made the call to head over to the 2 caches on other side of oval and after circling many trees, the eagle eyes of Oldmorty spied this very well camo'd container. Im sure I wouldn't have found it on my own. Signed, clued and wandered over to the next. TFTC!

Was in the general area and decided to have a look for it. After a short time we had the cache in hand. It was a clever camo. TFTC

Here

Yay

Defeated.

Unfortunately GZ left us next to the footpath. We searched nearest trees but didn’t find anything.

Great park and a sunny, breezy Saturday afternoon with minimal socially-distanced muggles around. Very clever hide. Right next door was very cool hand-built cubby. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Im one of those who is lucky enough to still have a job at the moment but unlucky enough that i cant work from home.
After work today i headed over here to find a cache and chose this one as my target.
While avoiding the many joggers and kids on bikes i made my way to the GZ and made a quick find.
It is a well constructed camo that had fallen on the ground.
After signing i replaced it where i think it came from.
Thanks.

After going missing 3 times I finally replaced and relocated this cache .

After being muggled 3 times I have replaced in a new form and relocated this cache.

Gone again will need to find a new location asap.

Was searching and suddenly 4 muggles bicycled over and started a picnic right where the group of trees were. Did cursory search but no cigar today
