**# 26028** Found on a fine sunny day before we take off on our 2019 Taiwan adventure.
Many muggles around today and mostly good quick finds. Wink
The original log is still there, safely hiding.
Log sheet was very wet. I placed a new dry bag to keep the log dry.
Thanks for the cache Lizard1983,

#16553. Just grabbing a few caches around the area whilst Rob's car is having some treatment at ARB this morning. Didn't realise this one was disabled. Found a log book held together with a peg. Certainly needs maintenance.

Thanks Lizard1983
 
26-Sep-19
I needed to take the geocar to ARB for some work, so while Bettyboo3747 and I were waiting, we did a few caches.
This was our first cache.
As mentioned before there is no container here just a logbook. Needs a little TLC I think.
Thanks, Robmc.

08-Apr-19
All in tact I’m sure Oscar probably used this bush often, yuk ...
 
07-Apr-19
Came along this morning to have a go at this one with ilook4geo. Looked where the co-ords said the container should be, but had to go further out to make the find. Signed both names on the log, replaced all where it had been found and then wandered along to visit the car show being held at the oval. Many thanks go to Lizard1983 for placing this cache. Being from interstate, we actually used the co-ords for this cache to get us to the car show. Geocaching is really handy.
 
07-Apr-19
Came here with goingplaces2 and parked quite close and was happy to find the container. Signed log and replaced. Then went to the car show on the oval for a while. TFTC.

Quick drive-by find in between tasks today to keep our find streak ticking over at 302 days. Not what I was initially expecting to find, had to spread the search area out a bit as my device had me in the middle of the path today. TFTC.

18-Sep-18
Off to an early start here.

Well 3:48am to be precise [:0]

On my way to the airport and keen to find 2 states in 1 day.

This took way longer than needed though.

Co-ord's seem to be out bye a few metres that I can understand confusion with a few DNF's.

Well I'm done time to move onto Brisvegas.

TFTC Smile

Hi there Lizard1983.

We found your cache **"Oscar's Walkies #4"** at 12:47:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 19001).

Today we did a quick cache raid around Hoppers Crossing. Our find count was 5 caches, with 0 DNF's today. SmileBig Grin

Thanks for placing the cache here. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 7m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The cache looks like it has been muggled. It was soaked, so we spent some time drying it out, it still needs some "Owner TLC" though.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Yay found it

First fine , very good little spot. Took only 5-10 Mins
 
06-Apr-18
A combination of needing a few finds with the aim of making our 3000th find next weekend at our Melba Gully Glow worms event and needing to pick up a daughters friend around the corner. All this meant we were in the area that we don't normally cache. Miss 14's friend has never cached before so it was a new experience for her.
Miss12 was onto this one in a flash so no one else even got to start looking.

Thank you Lizard1983 for the smiley
 
02-Apr-18
TFTC! Was a fun find, the container was filled with tons of earwigs so little fingers beware.
 
02-Apr-18
Came back to find at night as there were a lot of people near by. TFTC!

TFTC, took a while to find

Thanks Lizard1983. Oscar walk is being followed by our Ralph. Kids are very appreciative.

tftc fast find
 
26-Feb-18
With my car in for a service nearby it was time to wander around the area aimlessly. Aimlessly geocaching, of course.
I gave the playground a miss as it was already occupied, but I was happy to play amongst the shade of the trees finding the cache. At least this GZ 'playground' I had all to myself Big Grin.
Thanks, Lizard1983.
 
16-Feb-18
Thought this would be an easy find but no luck! Spent quite a while searching amongst the rocks, bushes and trees but no result. Hopefully it’s not missing! Tftc

A variety of caches, made up the dozen smiley tokens to add to our basket, after a somewhat frustrating day spent around Manor Lakes, Tarneit, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing.
A neat little hide just after lunch - Oscar's Walkies #4 a little quirky! Our 4th find of the day, making our find rate 40% Wink

Satellites today had our GZ 6m NW of where we found the cache.

Thanks Lizard1983 for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so. Red Face

In the Melbourne CBD for almost 2 weeks for training for work and naturally I grabbed some caches Cool
Some were lunch time walks and some were night time drives.
It took me quite a while to get used to the behaviour of the GPSr in this city SurprisedTwisted
Took me even longer to get used to those 'hook turns' Surprised[?]Surprised

Tonight was Wyndham Lights night! Cool[^]Big Grin
kmace and I had planned to do the old virtual tonight [^] and Cybergran V begged to be included Smile
After a day's training I had to dodge the traffic to find kmace and Cybergran V because apparently there is more than 1 Maccas near Southern Cross Station Surprised
Peak hour traffic in Adelaide is nothing compared to here Twisted
Finally found the pair and as they climbed into the Corolla, I realised they had evilly Twisted forced me to pick them up only 2m from a cache right outside my driver's door SurprisedTwistedSurprised
I looked for 6 caches and had 2 Sad DNF's (ok I really did only take kmace to Eadle Rock because she had not been there before Wink ) and the other DNF was missing and is now archived Sad. Thankfully the main goal for the night was found Smile despite a very late start after tea at a shopping centre (mmm, San Churros [:X]Cool ) and so were 3 other caches Smile
It was about 1.30am when I dropped kmace and Cybergran V at a back packers in the CBD and crawled my way back to my hotel room [)]
Thus ended a great night [^]Cool

Found this while out with locus cache and Cybergran V doing the Wyndham Lights cache. I eventually found this cache after going out from the coordinates. Signed log and continued on.

Thanks for the cache.
 
13-Dec-17
On a mission to view the Wyndham Lights, but it isn't dark enough yet, and there's unfound cachey things nearby. Can we pretend they're not there and just drive past? Definitely not with locus cache behind the wheel. But this time she didn't come up with the goods, it was time for kmace to shine, and shine she did.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our entertainment.

Found with help from previous posts as Gps way out Nice park Tftc . Greetings from Adelaide
 
11-Nov-17
This is a nice large park, it looks like a good location for a walk. After checking one spot, I expanded my search area and spotted the hide soon after.
Thanks to Lizard1983 for placing this cache.
 
06-Nov-17
Today was mainly to do some kayak caches with Alansee and Maccamob. Second cache for the day, and another quick find.



My thanks to Lizard1983 for the cache.

I had to wait for a muggle dog walker and try not to look to out of place looking at my phone. Once they were out of sight i was able to continue and make the find.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Our 200 find thanks for the cache! In a great location and number 17 for the day. It was a nice memorial. Very close to our hearts after having to part with our furbabies today also so an honor to have this as number 200. No trackable that we saw unless it was the little man.
