Not able to be maintained easily now

Stay tuned

Searched for around 20min but no luck finding. No one at the church so couldn't ask for help.

Shame. Next time I'm passing maybe I'll ask for help.

I will try another time

Took ages but eventually found it

TFTC

Found it with some help from a church member and my dad (:

No luck first time, not sure what the hint means!

Lit

Hint doesnt help.
Hard find.

Found with imgeojoe tricky little black cache

Very good hiding place go with hint
Found with ondalookout

Found it

This is the second time I search for this cache and I didn't find it. So it must be cleverly hidden or I am searching in the wrong place Maybe it is because the cache is black and it is under cover or maybe I should be looking at eye level instead of constantly looking at the ground.

This was soooo hard to find!!

I felt a bit awkward hunting for this cache, but looked at the logs and how many people had been before me, and figured that all was OK. This cache took a little while to find, but I persevered and got there in the end.

The hints in the activity log helped me find it quickly luckily, since it was starting to rain and lots of traffic on the adjacent road! The ziplock bag inside is in need of a replacement. TFTC!

thanks for the cache! handy hints in the activity!

Found it TFTC

A strange corner of the world that had us scratching around for a find.
Cache was indeed found after a while safe and sound.

Had some trouble finding it but the previous logs helped us locate it!

We were really struggling so rang the church doorbell and asked for a hint! Still had to do some digging around but finally found it. TFTC

With rain clouds closing in fast we quickly road to our 3rd cache for the day. I had a little trouble locating this one and the rain was now coming down. We persevered and also noted a log mentioning the dumped grass clippings which helped us locate it. TFTC

Found @06:28 #7475
Yes found at last! Actually must of been blind with my "noob glassses on" (head slap), as it was in a spot that I did think initially was the likly spot just didn't scratch around enough I guess and so the previous finder probably assisted in this find today. Did have some extra hints from the CO which was great and much appreciated. So the teady bears where indeed home today but on arrival they had an extra layer of grass cuttings as a nice warm blanket added. A fun find.

Glad to see that this one is now a smiley at last.

Day 112 of 366 completed.

Found while out for a ride getting some exercise. GZ was quite exposed on the corner, so I felt a bit uncomfortable searching around here, but luckily it didn't take too long. The clue helped, but a heap of grass clippings had been dumped on the cache. TNLNSL, TFTC.

TFTC, finally found this on the 4th attempt with a clue from the CO... can’t believe I missed this!!

No luck! found likly spots but no cache to be seen. I say it's missing. Spent 25mins looking. Will watch for now to see how others go.
TFTC Cherryslice88

No luck again!!

3rd DNF got this one!!!

Good thing that I had plant expert my mum with me or I wouldn't have understood the hint. TFTC

Searched for over 10 mins and absolutely nothing

I was looking at my GPSr for unfound caches and I noticed this cache. However, I distinctly remember finding the cache a few months ago because I found it in a tree and luckily the minister of the church came along after I found the cache and put it back where it was supposed to be hidden. ?? I remember having an email exchange with the CO about what happened so I must have thought that I logged it. ??

I keep notebooks with details of all my finds so I finally found this cache in my latest notebook. It said that I found the cache today in a tree after looking where my GPSr said it should have been hidden and where the minister eventually put it after removing it from the tree. My notebook says that I signed the log at 1:20 pm. TNLN. I remember using hand sanitiser before and after finding the cache to stay safe.

Thanks Cherryslice88 for the challenging hide and for showing me this lovely church.?? It was a bonus to have a nice chat with the minister. ??

The cache somehow migrated up a tree 7m away but is now back to it's original location.

Love the hiding spot!

Thank you!

Can thoroughly recommend early afternoon (around 2pm) on a Friday to check out here - no one around, so I could search unhindered and unseen.

Which was a good thing, as I spent a good 10-15 minutes poking and prodding here and there with no success, which would have probably looked a bit suspicious if anyone had happened to observe it.

It didn't help that my GPS kept swinging the needle a good 10m or more as I looked, and so it was only when I finally found myself just standing there contemplating giving up and moving on that I turned my head slightly and said, "Oh. It's just there." Definitely no need to trample any plants. Must have passed within a foot of it several dozen times...

Signed the log, thanks for the cache, Cherryslice88.

Good spot!

Cache had dropped but we replaced it

Thanks!

Cute hide! Looking around, wondering if there was a Teddy bear, and then just spotted it!

300. TFTC

A lovely spot for a 300 picnic, although I don’t have any Teddys with me today...

Marked as a DNF from last years attempt. Marked this as a DNF in order to add it to my DNF list

*Found on the 1 Mar 2020 @ 2:07 pm.*
*Cache find # 10776.*

After attending a couple of events earlier in the day, I was now on my way home along route 300 when this one appear so I thought that I had better stop to join in on the picnic.
After one walk by I then turned around, looked in the right direction and spotted the cache.
while signing the log I was caught in the act by a lady leaving the church, she knew about it.

**Thanks to Cherryslice88 for placing this cache.**

Thanks!

Thank you

Teddy was alone today. Thanks Cheeryslice88.

Found at 13:55
Out today running some errands and headed across here for a look. It took a bit more searching than it should have but I got there in the end
Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache

No luck again but couldnt spend too much time looking

I will come back another time. Was busy there so it looked a bit dodgy me looking around...

A nice quick find. No one around. TFTC

Found your cache today. Cherryslice88, thank you so much for placing it.

Nice quick find here. Warm in Melbourne today. Happy birthday Nicholas. Thanks!

Driving past and so stopped by to grab this one. Took a while, but eventually I uncovered it! TFTC

Found

Finally found

Just found this after visiting Daniels Donuts at night! Took the 5 of us about half an hour to find it.

You'll have to go digging to find it but it's a fun find. The hint is very helpful so if you're stuck make sure to check that

No luck tonight,

Find number 7577 at 10:07:13 am
Out to reduce my DNF count and this one needs to be corrected.
Found about where I suspected it would be, just haven't been looking hard enough.
**Thanks for placing this cache Cherryslice88**

The lovely smell of freesias or Boronia filled the air.
Cheers Cherryslice88

Quick stop after shopping at the Glen. Found it. Thanks cherryslice88 for placing this cache

Out on an radio event. Nice. TFTC

found out with friends! tftc!

Walked from my parents place to find this close to home cache. Took me forever (thank heavens no one was home) but I knew it as soon as I saw it.

Thank you for the cache.

Nice hide. Our first finding.

This took longer than expected, my gps was jumping around but finally success
Tftc

Nice quick drive by find while in the area. TFTC.

We spent a little longer here than we would have liked but we don't think we disturbed anyone. The cache was found in good condition. Thanks Cherryslice88!

On the way to visit my niece, I came to see all the teddy bears, but they were playing hide and seek. Instead I found a cache. Thanks Cherryslice88

Found after a quick search with the correct arachnid.
TFTC

Took us a while. Navigation on point. Reading others comments helped a lot.

Found it after a little looking around. The navigation really helped.

Quick find

Found

Spot on co ordinates. Took a lot longer than it should have. Tftc

Found it quickly after google imaging the hint

Mum became geo mum - just couldn’t wait in the car! At 86 she is amazed and loved the story of course. Relatively quick find in the dark otherwise how could one not be conspicuous!? TFTC

Dnf gps kept sending in different directions

Found! C + S: stealth mode felt impossible, but we managed to do it without looking too suspicious (we hope!) Good little hide

Yes, when you know what it is it sure makes it easy.
Congratulations papi4506

Walked to where GZ was and started looking. Mrs Papi knew what Arachnid Spathiphyllum was so changed where I was looking. A quick find when looking in the right place. Thanks for the cache.

I spent so long searching here this morning that the pastor came out to see if I was okay.
With a little guidance, I was able to locate the little beast, even though I didn't find the hint helpful at all. Tried my friend Google, but nothing looked similar in the immediate vicinity.
Oh well, I got to sign the log anyway. Thanks Cherryslice.

After a lovely lunch at a hot pot restaurant in Glen Waverley we were heading to Big Watermelon for some fruit n veg. I checked the trusty app to see what caches were close by. Well this Teddy Bear Picnic one showed up and was literally on the way and look easy enough to drive up, park and pick up. When we arrived the geokids got out to search as well. It took a little longer than expected because we were searching the wrong side of the path. Log signed and replaced.

Really shouldn't of been this hard to earn a smiley on this one.
Just one of those days!!!
Cheers for the cache.

Finally turned this frown upside down. After a previous dnf with this one it was good to make a quick find today, had to contend with a few snails around the gz but located this elusive find after a minute or so. Thanks again Cherryslice88 for the hide, last time here l must of missed it by a inch or two as the co-ord's were spot on.

#1570 - 4.10pm
I was an early guest at the Teddy Bears' Picnic.
Perhaps too early...
Maybe I was actually 'gate-crashing'!
You see, it was the wee hours of the morning, before anyone else had arrived and signed the visitors log. But the teddy bears weren't keen for a midnight feast on that particular night, and so I left disappointed, empty handed and with an empty stomach.

It's nearly a year since that misadventure, and my meandering ways brought me back here after work today to continue my current streak. As would be expected, there was constant muggle traffic at this more civilised hour, but I didn't let that preclude me from my search.

Initially, it seemed all too familiar - I recalled checking each particular feature here in detail on my previous visit, so I felt wasn't making much progress in going over the same options. But after about 10 minutes I saw something I hadn't registered before, and of course it was the hide.
Such a sneaky little thing!

It was nice to finally satisfy my appetite at the Teddy Bears' Picnic.

Thanks so much, Cherryslice88.
Well played ??

Got you on the second time around! Found it. Might be due to better sunlight or just that my phone gps was working better. Log signed. Success

I have been meaning to stop and look for this cache for quite a while but I never quite took the short detour off my usual cycling route. However, with the roads nice and quiet I fixed that today. Was surprised to find the cache straightaway. Coordinates spot on! TFTC

Searched high and low. But no go

After an earlier DNF I brought Mr A with me this time as he has better eyes and ears. Unfortunately we were still unlucky with this one despite a fairly vigorous search. This one keeps drawing me back as I just love teddy bears. )

came at night, so everything was dark. will attempt again in the future during day i think

The gps get sending us to different spots but eventually we found it and signed the log.thanks.

Found it! Phew. Itsy bitsy.

Searched for 10-15 minutes without success

It seemed reasonably quiet near GZ but we became aware that muggles could appear without warning. The GPS devices were a little variable initially a little unstable and we searched for some time without luck. However with a little more care we eventually found the container. I'm not sure how we missed it. TFTC

Not too be found today.
