Thanks, nice quick one.

Got to it but forgot pen. Nice easy find. TFTC

Spring Victorian Incursion 2024.Day Eight: Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay. Weather: just a few spots of rain today.A two-for-one deal here as this spot is also an Adventure Lab question. Another easy find; the hard one is coming up.Thanks again tackle_head.

Quick, easy find with the clue.Really enjoyed my walk around the lake.Thanks for bringing me here

Great spot! Love learning more about this area! TFTC

Nice and easy TFTC

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Down in the Altona area with a couple of grandies and they asked if there were any caches nearby. Only lots and more. We had a little time to spare so found about half a dozen or so. Thanks for placing the cache.

Geoturtle37, myself and a couple of the grandies were in the area to run an errand. This was found with no problems but took quite some time to replace. There were a number of muggles and a man emptying bags of rubbish. Thanks for placing this cache for all to enjoy.

Super dooper quick find. Saw it before I even got to the cords. I do quite like these sorts of hides though, as hundreds of people walk past them every day not knowing its there.TFTC

Found, great spot.

Easy one thanks

Found in the company of Veevers12, Mister Doctor, Sonic, and Detstar. Attending the event today was such a treat! It was wonderful reconnecting with familiar faces amidst the beautiful backdrop of the lake. As we strolled around, we couldn't resist grabbing a few caches along the way. Thank you for placing this cache adding excitement and adventure to our day.

Out with my "twitcher" son, so we were very excited to look uo and see a Pardelote watching from above. TFTC

Somehow, even tho [@JonnyGoldcoast](https://coord.info/PRWPD2W) and myself were on bikes, other cachers (Micaparamedic and the Riddells) kept pace with us, often 'busting' us grabbing the cache as we lapped Cherry Lake!Thanks for the info about the lake, it was lovely to ride around and learn stuff at the same time. Cache on ??

This morning I heading over in the car as early as I could to grab some nearby caches before the Victorian Geocache of the years nominations were event took place at Cherry Lake. I took the opportunity to park along the sea front and have a walk along the pier and around the local area. After a nice walk and few log books signed as well as a few adventure labs completed, I headed to the event. It was awesome to see so many familiar faces at the event and soon after I arrived the nominations started. I then took the opportunity to find the nearby WhereIGo while the BBQ was cooking. this unfortunately led me to think I could quickly do a circuit of the lake and get back in time for some sausages... unfortunately I got stuck on a fairly simple cache and my 10 mins turned in to 75 mins... although it was beautiful walk and I found all the caches (Eventually), I missed out on food...lesson to be learnt... eat then walk Anyway was great turn out for the nominations and it turned out to be a nice sunny day.This one had a brand new log book for me to sign Thanks for the cache and the hidelog book and signed and returnedFind #2655

One of my favourite caching days ever was here at Cherry Lake, back in 2016. We had 40 finds under our belts, and came here with the cousins to do a lap of the lake finding mudbrick's series. The series got archived not long after, and I hadn't been back here. Today it was me and Younger Bruce and Dog - less exciting, but still an excellent way to spend a sunny April afternoon. Thanks tackle_head for Cherry Lake.

While here for the COTY23 nominations event, Chook and Sunset62 managed to squeeze in a very quick lap of the lake before heading off to an nearby pre-arranged appointment. We had walked this lap about 9 years ago now, when there was a completely different series of caches here. It was fun to do it again with the new caches. TFTC tackle_head.

After attending the Victorian COTY Nomination event, a lap of the lake was in order to collect the caches and AdLab that are located here. I walked with Mr and Mrs Riddell and kept running into LetThemEatCache and Johnny GoldCoast on their bikes. This was just one of the finds. The stroll around the lake took me over my daily step target today.Thanks tackle_head for placing this Traditional Cache to enhance the game board.

Found with sonic___, Mister Doctor, JuzzMagic and Detstar after the announcement of the 2023 Nominees for the Geocaching Victoria Cache Of The Year Awards.Continuing to enjoy the great weather and the great company on our lap of the lake, and whilst also completing maccamob's Ad Lab, we stopped for another cache here.Great views from GZ. Hard to believe this used to be a motor racing circuit.TFTC tackle_head.

Over this side of town for an event, and the chance to find my first tackle_head caches. This was #8 of 10 once the main event was over and we all set off for a very pleasant lap of the lake.Quickly spotted, signed, sealed and delivered!TFTC

#11635 Quick find after collecting the lab

Found with Geo-hubby while dropping off his scooter nearby to have the tyre repaired. Beautiful stroll around the lake. Thank you so much for placing and highlighting this for everyone to see.

*End Of Year Cache Rush On A Bike Adventure #26*Find 24 of 26 for the day... apparently. I appeared to have miscounted somewhere, but this find leaves me 20 short of 3k. Apologies for the generic logs. I'm trying to get 44 caches today, and have a limited time span to do it in. Worse, I'm on a bike, and it *was* wet and grey... now the sun's out, and I had to shed a few layers.Thanks heaps for the cache, and happy Third Day of Christmas!

Good walk in the morning had to avoid a couple of muggles.

A quick find while having a picnic with friends at Cherry lake. We let the smallest ones of the group make the find. Cache is in good condition. TFTC

I found this cache today on my Mega Geocaching Walk #7 - A 29,000 step walk from Seaholme, Altona Coastal Park, Cherry Lake, Altona and Westona. A geocache and a lab cache in the same spot. Always cool. Thanks from D B-A

Found with FUF009 while walking around the lake. Tftc

Find # 12988

Found with sharkiefan
Down to catch up with good friend sharkiefan and help out where I can.

After hospital visit today we decided that we would tackle the caches and ad lab around cherry lake.

Weather was kind to us most of the way around, was only the final grab that we got a little wet.

A quick grab after we got the ad lab answer sorted out here too.

TFTC tackle_head

After dropping my brothers off at school, I had my eyes set on a beautiful winter's morning walk around Cherry Lake to complete the adventure lab and a smattering of caches.

A double whammy cache and ad lab 'find' here. Thanks tackle_head.

While completing a walk around the lake for an Adventure Lab I took the opportunity to grab this nicely placed trad along the way.
When at GZ I had to stop and wait for a couple of other walkers to got pass before I went in for the find.

Thank you tackle_head for another find to our tally

Another quick find as I walked part way around the lake. Thanks tackle_head

Nice quick find here. I’ve made good time around this lake and seen quite a few bird species. Thanks.

I walked on from the other physical cache and found this one in quick time. All good here.

We’ve done 3 now tackle_head. We see your common theme TFTC

Needing to do some post surgery walking exercise we decided to try our luck at the Adventure Lab Here. But not passing up any others along the way.
This is the first tackle_head cache we have found in a long time.
We enjoyed the information on the cache page and as usual the coordinate were spot on and the well hidden cache was found after a short search and our name has been added to the log.
many thanks Tackle_head for the info and the hide.

Beautiful day on a lovely lake walk tftc

Found this one just as it starting to get daylight.

#20647. An extremely hot day forecast so we left the house at 7.07am by bicycles and headed towards Cherry Lake and Altona for me to collect some AdLabs and also some other caches as they appeared on the radar as we rode along the beach trails. A hot 28km ride and 4 hours spent in the saddle.

Surprised that I hadn't done this one as it has been out for 4 years now. Only realised as we rode away from collecting an AdLab WP so returned and soon had the container to hand. The log book was chockers so we have left a new log sheet so all is good here.

Thanks tackle_head

Nice to be walking the dog, and find. Cache.
Thanks for bringing me here.

It was finally a beautiful day today after too many rainy cold days so went out with the smallest geokid for a few scooter rides around this area to get some trads and a few of the new ad lab's that had popped up recently
After doing a couple of ad labs and bonus caches at point cook plus the cache in the Point Cook Homestead we headed over to Altona to do the ad labs and loop around the lake as well.

This was a nice quick find while we also did the ad lab waypoint.
Thanks tackle_head for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Needed to get a couple of smiley faces today because I was having caching withdrawals. This was on my way to work so I had to be quick because it was bucketing down. Lucky it was an easy find last one for me I think.

Thanks for the cache

Visiting from California. TNLN. Didn't have a pen so couldn't sign log.

I was in the area doing some Adventure Labs, specifically Lapping the Cherry. I was much of the way around when I realised that this cache was right at one of the Adlab points, so I grabbed it as a bonus.

Thanks to tackle_head for the cache.
