Thanks geoNkenter for the cache

My co ords were out by 10, hint helped here. Log still wet but signed and replaced tftc
Quick and easy find. Left a small blue button. Logbook is water damaged too so may need replacing. Tftc
Found myself in the area with a bit of time to spare and there were a few new caches since I'd last been around so a good chance to rectify that. A nice little hiding spot here that fits the cache very snugly. I knocked it loose initially and then had to get down on hands and knees to retrieve the cache. A nice spot to look around from here as well, thanks for the cache geoNkenter.
A nice quick easy find to fill a streak day.
Lovely spot to also wander.

All in good condition

Great walk around the area and finding Dr Blue made it even better. Spotted a fox while on this walk as well
Walked to this one and found the BMT good name and clue. A very peaceful walk too.

This one was easy but hard. The GPS had us about 9m away but we could see the bright blue container on the ground. We replaced it where the hint indicated and we''re not quite sure how it fell out. With the hint this is an easy geocache to find.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing these geocaches so close to home and along a path I live near but have never wandered from end to end.

Reading the hint made it an easy find.. awesome. I'm not a fan of the crackling of those powerlines overhead though. Thanks for the cache everything looks to be okay!
This was really tricky it’ll cost about half an hour to find it but we got there in the end
That bloody BMT... had about five different groups of muggles watching us in the most awkward of positions

A Sunday afternoon cache run through Deer Park was in order as the weather was glorious. I haven't been caching through these parts in many years - it hasn't changed very much. A quick find, it's there - pretty straight forward. Thanks for the cache geoNkenter.

Unexpectedly, pulling up behind our caching buddy Alansee, we headed toward GZ together and it was Alansee who spotted the Dr first.
Thanks to 'geoNkenter' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Bumped into Pheltern as I pulled up to do this cache. After a short walk the hint kicked in and the hide was soon found.
Found quickly in 38 degree heat at 18.15 And probably much hotter here.
The sun is still beating down and it’s the first day of Autumn.

Suscoe was in Melbourne this morning with a bit of time up our sleeves.
So a trip out to Deer Park to take in the sights was decided upon.
It was a pleasant morning and a gentle breeze kept things mild.
This is an area that we have not done much recent caching and so it was good to wander the streets and trails.
Thanks to geoNkenter for another hide.
A quick find and sign but still no other people using these trails.
A great resource for the community along the Kororoit Creek,

Thankyou for your cache geoNkenter

Now I know why he is called Dr Blue.
A hop skip and a jump and the cache was in hand.
No one about on a hot morning
Cheers

No matter how isolated you think you are, a muggle always appears unexpectedly. While I was on my hands and knees. I said I was finding a necklace that I had dropped. Tftc

Out on a nice warm night walking along the creek managed to pick this one up.

A welcome if brief respite until the next onslaught of our hot summer was a fine excuse for a walk, as by this time we were all going stir crazy. So plans were made with leafotwind, and n0w0rries.
Plenty Gorge Park was our chosen venue. We had a good long walk and for back to where we'd parked the cars with a fine tally of smileys.
As we started towards our respective homes, the notifications came... Published caches in opposite directions. The multi in Research was closest, so we went there, and narrowly wangled first finders on it. Then the question was asked: do we go for the one around the Ring Road? I was happy to do so, as it's only a little way beyond my house.
The others got a head start while I set the destination, but I passed them at the freeway off-ramp and found the closest parking for us all.
It was only a short walk to the coordinates, where a really quick find was made by leafotwind. Grabbing it took me a bit more time, though. Now for that big question: what would we find within?
Once every page was duly checked, we were chuffed to discover that we'd achieved or second joint **FTF** of the evening. Thanks, geoNkenter... we celebrated by touring your other recent hides.

After meeting with success at the other FTF opportunity for the day we decided to take a drive to Deer Park, from Eltham just because there might be another FTF. Well, the Australia Day barbecues and other festivities must have hit the competition hard because another {FTF} was ours. We all decided to help n0w0rries onto 25 for the day to bring him a step closer to completing a challenge he is working towards.
Second {FTF} - after an awesome day hiking in Plenty Gorge, with leafotwind and nirgal.
As we were leaving Plenty Gorge to head for home, I checked my emails and noted that a couple of caches had just been published.
A message and a phone call to Nirgal and we were all on the way to the nearby multi.
A resounding success there spurred us into action and we headed around the Ring Road towards Deer Park.
A short stroll to ground zero and the cache was soon in hand.

Happy Australia Day 2019.
Thanks for the cache. That makes 21 caches today so we are now off to find the rest of your caches. (Successfully too)
