Aladdin Merricks North, Victoria, Australia
By snugglebunnies on 24-Jun-17. Waypoint GC77Y5Q

Unfortunately need to focus our time on other things now and therefore reducing our number of hides. Sadly this series doesn’t make the cut for us to maintain anymore.
Thanks to all the finders over the years.

Still need to fix this one, however unfortunately with the COVID-19 Restrictions will need to wait a bit longer.

Should have this one sorted soon

** THE CACHE**

A 40 minute look and searched about 20m either side of calculated GZ and I turned up empty. I saw the previous DNF’s but searched anyway as I didn’t want it to just be a case of DNF’s breading more however I was also unsuccessful. I messaged CO to advise them and will return once it’s replaced/found.

**THE SERIES**

I really enjoyed collecting the clues along the way. We found all the trad caches, however, the final chance appears to be missing. I have contacted CO to double check, but all in all, a really fun series!

TFTC!

Seems there has been a few DNFs so we’ll disable it until we can check it out.

Out and about but failed to unearth this one.

After finding all the others and the clues so quickly, we thought this was a given. Wrong. Unfortunately, even after extensive searching, we came up blank. Will have to come back once it has been found/checked.

Having noted all the clues, we made our way to gz. However, despite a thorough search, no luck here today. Will watch to see if any finders after us and will come back.

Didn't find on 14 Jun 2019 at 2:42 pm.
Well today was my last day off of my time in lieu for working so hard and one of geokids was also on a student free curriculum day and she was going shopping with my mum which was something I definitely wanted to avoid so I headed out for a few hours driving around the peninsula and it was a great few hours and I didn't even get rained on once. Doesn't get any better than that.

After gathering the clues I had what looked like a good GZ and when I arrived there was a bit of wear and tear from geotrails but after a few minutes I couldn't find anything and had to head off to pickup my kids from school so hopefully it's not missing or I stuffed up my calculation (which I did double check).
Thanks snugglebunnies for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Nooooo. Sad to not find my collectors card but happy to find the cache haha

It was leafotwind's idea to see if we could knock off the Jack Speak series (which he'd done the virtual hard yards on), and maybe turn the outing into a 50+ day. I provided the vehicle as he's, er, between cars at the moment, and despite the weather not quite cooperating, we achieved our goal, and some.

Only one DNF, which is pretty darn good considering my usual blindness to one particular kind of hide which happened to predominate this afternoon.

Loved the care and attention that have gone into this fun little series. Nice work indeed, snugglebunnies.

I had solved the series some time ago and had always intended to try and combine it with a couple of the shorter series' put out by other cachers to achieve a tally of 50 for the day. I thought some company might be in order both to add to the fun as well as provide a separate set of eyes. Nirgalagrin answered the call and a good thing too! He dialled in a little earlier than I and a number of those bisons might have taken a lot longer without him!
We did end up hitting 50 for the day and amongst those found the only 5/1 trad in the whole of Victoria by happenstance!
Thanks to all the COs who placed these caches for everyone to enjoy and indeed in the case of the Jack Speak series have maintained them for all these years.

Another visit to the Mornington Peninsula saw us completing the 4 children's themed series. Surprisingly both roads were very busy today so parking safely was important as we jumped in and out of the car in search of the final Aladdin.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the time and effort put into these fun series for us and others to enjoy.

Still tired from our morning walk, we hit yet another drive by series by the same CO. Another great series of themed caches! The road was a lot busier than we expected it to be, and in bad shape for such a busy road (not the CO’s issue, I know!). Thanks so much for placing this series snugglebunnies, again it was great to find the larger final cache.

Out and about last night with Trailstevo, switching our normal Sunday night out to a Saturday as our wives and kids decided it was movie night. I've had my eye on a few little series of cache in the Hasting area and with an early evening escape possible off we trot.
We tackled the NWCR series first. Pretty sure I had been hear before caching, but no smileys on the map so guess they are long gone. We strolled along the sandy path for around 3km and really enjoyed the variety of cache here. A couple had us hunting around a little harder but we go there.
Then down the road to the TFR series, and again a lice walk and variety of hides and our first DNF. We will pop back another day to clean that one up.
Then we drove across to the Aladdin series collecting a number great multi's an da few drive by trads.
I think we ended up with over 30 finds. Thanks to Tidder, SnuggleBunnies, Boris&Natasha, Braniac03, BushwalkingBandit & Epsilon Crucis for the fun night out.

Big night of caching with Gunks. Must've found around 30. Finished the night with the Aladdin series and one last driveby. TFTC

Mr came out today with Mr Rogdel to try to finish unfinished business. We had run out of time when we completed the known Finds on our last outing, so had taken the clues home to work out the final coords. We dealt with unfinished business over at tidder's TFR trail then came here and had the cache in hand at 3.10 pm to finish the trail.. Many thanks for the interesting series with all the stories, snugglebunnies. TNLNSL.

Was here a couple of weeks ago with Dicksontwo where we found the first four in this trail and noted the clues. It was rather hot that day then and we had already spent several hours on a trail near Westernport so we went home to confer on the co-ords for this one. Today we set the co-ords for this one into my car's GPS over Tyabb way which led us nicely by full driving instructions to GZ for this one. Technology can make you lazy! Thanks snugglebunnies for this interesting trail and the story of Aiaddin.

After having a great time smashing out the Red Hill rail trail and Finding Dory by the boardwalk, we had some dinner and then tackled some caches in Hastings and toward the freeway. Another series that was fun along these dirty backroads, we found all of the caches pretty quickly. Thanks for the cache snugglebunnies.

Genie: Oh, Al. I'm getting kinda fond of you, kid. Not that I wanna pick out curtains or anything.

Found this one late this afternoon while working on this short series. Managed to grab all the caches and clues and we soon found our selves at the gz and the great sized cache was soon in hand. Thanks snugglebunnies for the series and the placement of the hide, what a fun little series for the kids and also us big kids too!

Out with Happy Pants doing our last cache hunt of the year...maybe!
Wow this is certainly a beautiful part of the world.
And no muggles around on this Sunday arvo.
Dropped off some kids in for some swag.
Cheers for the series.

Well, here I was finally, five months after starting the series back in May. One blue face exchanged for a yellow one and two new yellow faces along this road. The finding device claimed the cache was 13m from the road where we parked. By my calculations this would put me in the paddock, which would put the cache in a ridiculous place. After scouting the location back and forth from the road verge there was really only one place worth inspecting. I spotted the larger container from a few metres away. It did require me to get down on hands and knees and crawl in to get it. The clue was a great help. By the time I emerged and checked the GPS I was only 6m from where the coordinates had suggested. Thanks for another of your great series, Snugglebunnies. I’m looking forward to chasing more of your geocaches.

28 Jul 2018, Found @10:28 am, Find # for placing this cache

Out with Jascat finding caches in the Balnarring area. Neither of us had completed this series so took the drive down this road. A quick find. Thank you for this mini series it was fun to do. TFTC

I had already completed the rest of this series a while ago but I finally decided today was the day to get the last one, found easily and back again for the next finder. TFTC!

Yay. Even though I could not find Genie, I managed to get some good figures together and find the cache.

Our first mystery cache. Fantastic series, thanks!

This was our last cache for the day and once again the coords were spot on. We have really enjoyed your mini cache series on quiet roads.Thanks again for this cache snugglebunnies.

Down in the area returning my son to Navy base, picking up a few caches along the way. After working out what was needed, we made our way to GZ, and made this nice find.
Thanks snugglebunnies for placing the cache for us to find.

*17/2/18, Found @ 3:03 pm, Find # 7558.*

This afternoon I head out on a bit of a cache finding run down the peninsula with biggles1024.
After collecting all the clues, we now had a set of coordinates for this one so off we went.
We arrived near GZ and went about finding the easiest and best way in, once that was found, the cache was also found shortly after.

**Thanks to snugglebunnies for placing this cache.**

**Mystery Cache Find #401**

My first caching run with Steve for quite some time. We headed to the Peninsula to see what we could find. With all four of the preceding caches found, we calculated the co-ords for this final without any difficulty and soon added our names to the log.

Thank-you to snugglebunnies for placing this geocache

Went back to the car, where the mail kid and I worked out the co ords and bingo. Tftc

I am out geocaching with my aunt 'cathud' today.
This was our last cache for today. Thank you for this cache and the Aladdin series.

An enjoyable day geocaching with my niece "PrincessFiona" [8)] and my muggle son who drove us around (while adding to his learner driving hours). My niece had control of my GPSr while I used my phone, or my geosense.

After teaching my niece how to work out the final co-ords for 'Finding Dory' she was happy that we could work out this one also. I was very pleased to find the cache in the first place that I looked and placed a little more camoflague over it before we left.
A creepy, crawly TB was found in the cache so we have taken it to contiune it's journey.

Thank you snugglebunnies for this cache and the series.

This was our last cache for today. We found twelve of your caches and have had a very enjoyable day. [8)]

Out this way with Square_Pegs looking for caches so we stopped off here to find this one.


Thanks snugglebunnies

With all of the other caches found and the clues noted, we calculated a likely looking set of numbers and headed there. We found a good sized container, it is always a pleasure to come across one of these. I particularly liked the logbook too!
I took a trackable that was in residence and dropped in another one I had with me.
This cache was found in the company of abl973 as we made our way along the mostly quiet back road here.
Thanks to snugglebunnies for the cache.

Thanks for all the work you put in here.
Snugglebunnies rock.
Chiefton!!!

We found this cache today at 1:15pm as number 8 of 31 on our Snugglebunnies and More Mornington Peninsula Extravaganza. About 5 minutes to put a set of co-ords together and another 5 to drive and pick up our first series prize of the day. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Find #3556

I was out on an early morning pre-work caching run to pick up a few in the area. This was my fifth of seven finds on a morning that started off quite chilly but was very pleasant as the sun warmed things up. After finding the other four in this series I had a set of coordinates to check out for this one. With a good sized cache to be found I was quickly able to spot it and complete the series. I took the TB that was already in the cache and replaced it with the cow TB and a US geocoin that I had brought from a recent trip to Ireland. I signed the themed logbook (finally getting the right date!) and visited some other trackables. Thanks for the cache and for this series snugglebunnies. This one earns a favourite point from me on behalf of the series.

Find number 1672 on 29 Sep 2017 at 11:44 am.
A fun little series. Really enjoyed all the caches. Fav point from us.
Thank you very much for your effort creating this series of hides for us to find.

Find 2206
A nice little series to get to know some characters. After doing the cals we parked close by and wandered over. A quick glance around and the cache was spotted. Log signed and all back safe again.
Left a trackable so it can continue its journey.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the effort of putting caches out there so others can enjoy.
A favourite point awarded.

At home the sun was shining and so I took the opportunity to get out and about before the rain settled in. I was lucky after working out the coords there was a break in the earlier rain. Found it easily but how to get to it was a little more difficult. I enjoyed this little series on a quiet road. Thanks snugglebunnies

First attempted series by this CO was a disaster due to roadworks; the second was quick and easy. Onto our third. Gathered all the clues and did the math. Found quickly, once the coast was clear. A surprisingly busy road! TNLN TFTC

Today, Biggles Bear #1 and I headed down the peninsula with the aim to complete one series, with some bonus caches along the way. Nice quick find once we had calculated GZ.

My thanks for the cache.

Found 2:31:00 PM, in the company of Muzza during our August caching day out.

TNLN, thanks snugglebunnies (F=1728 H=48).

Gathering together all the clues we revealed the resting place for the final. This road was extraordinarily busy for a Sunday and several times we had to move or drive by the cache to let others pass.
Another excellent final container for a fun series. A snugglebunnies style logbook surprise to boot. Thank you for placing the cache and the whole series.

The Chief had an appointment today in Mornington & it was decided a small drive afterward was in order. We'd noticed these pop up some time ago and today was the day to come and collect them. A brief bit of number crunching and we were soon discovering the final of this cool little series.TFTC, all good here too.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the caching fun.

Final coords easily sorted before locating a nice sized final cache
Rather busy on the road today
Many thanx to snugglebunnies for another delightful series

Visited Hastings for the day with crank1. Beautiful day after a freezing morning. Found it. Thanks snugglebunnies for this Aladdin FINAL cache and the series.

Accompanied with Kangas11
Beautiful weather today
Found it
Thanks snugglebunnies

*Our second day on the Peninsula, following a course charted by Cap'n Suscoe. The weather was not particularly favourable, none the less we found a variety of valuable treasure, hidden in some very devious guises.*
Rubbed our hands on the lamp to warm them!!

Thanks snugglebunnies for placing this series, for everyone's enjoyment.

Suscoe was out and about today in the very good company of Phetlern on the Mornington Peninsular.
It was a cool day with a strong wind blowing for most of the day.
We had a delightful day wandering the roads of this area finding a range of caches in varying locations.
Thanks to the snugglebunnies for a delightful little series for Aladdin.
We always enjoy caches based around stories.
A favourite from us for this work.
Well done.

I was in the company of CaptainCooper09 this arvo to find a number of nearby cashes. It was a bit cold and a little windy but we were well rugged up.
We had fun finding each of the caches in this series, one took us quite a while to locate but in the end we had all found including the final.
Thanks snugglebunnies for another fun bunch of caches.

After making short work of the clues we found ourselves at GZ in no time at all. My turn to look and with spot on coords I was soon adding our name into the very cool logbook.
Thank you so much snugglebunnies, you always deliver first rate caches which is very much appreciated and this one earns a well deserved favourite point.

#996 - 5pm
Following the Monkey King's Mary Hyde event in Langwarrin, ahomburg and I toured around the Mornington Peninsula area. It was a very memorable day as the 24 smilies we picked up were the most I've grabbed in one day and got me to the magical #1000 mark!

Some quick calculations provided spot on coordinates and a quick find. It's always a joy to discover these cool caches!
I loved the cleverly thematic logbook.
Added a little more camo to compensate for the slowly developing geotrail.
Thanks for a fun series, snugglebunnies, and for helping me on my way towards #1000...

I was with the welder headed for an event today to gain my souvenir and then out caching for the first time in a while. With the Welder at the helm, who knows where we would end up today. It was a pleasant although a little chilly day, but we made the best of it.

Gotta love a finale and in my favourite container type too

Many thanks to snugglebunnies for the cache. TNLN.

Published

Having already discovered 2 of the 4 required clues, the third was previously released but disabled and today the last clue and this final was released. Rushing off to try to continue my FTF monthly streak to every month this year. I missed discovering the newly published clue first, finding it second, which confirmed my suspicion that the car parked ahead of me, parked in a location I had already been to, was certainly a cacher. Then I saw him walk out of the bushes looking at me.
Decisions, do I race to get my last clue, or try to work the final out without it?
The second option seemed like it might be quicker and after a short analysis the answer made itself apparent.
Driving past the fellow cacher I parked at the GZ, only to discover the other cacher drive past and park just ahead of me. Nice to meet you Buhfuhguh.
Having a quick chat while we searched, the nice large cache was found for a joint {FTF}.
Cool - 7 months streak of FTFs, made the right decision.
Once again, another great series Snuggle Bunnies. Certainly another favourite point earned, and you continue to impress.
Thanks for the adventure Snuggle Bunnies

PS. 830th cache, 225th Mystery cache & 26th FTF
PPS. TB dropped

**{FTF} #21**
Nothing beats ftf hunting rather than seeing another cacher on there way to get the cache...... as I was in a rather good mood I thought to myself bugger it since they are just up the road I will make it a joint FTF. Turns out the cacher whom was on my tail was 999hunter. It was nice meeting another cacher whose name I have seen quite a lot now. Anyways thanks for the cache and the fun series.

After collecting the clues I made my way to GZ and found it nicely hidden. A great little series I enjoyed it even though it had problems getting published all at once must have been frustrating for you guys. As usual many thanks for all the effort you put into your caches Oh and nearly forgot took a trackable!
