As I approached what I thought was GZ there were two muggles having lunch at a picnic table so I wandered away from them but to my surprise I was approaching GZ well out of their sight. The cache in good condition was a quick find.
Tuesday ... appointment cancelled! Jinky and John grab the gear and head out for a run up around the You Yangs. Great to have a cache where there's a real parking area. We looked around, and before getting out of the car, we had decided that it was that one, or the other one. Divide and conquer! Finally had it in our hands! It was big enough to leave a geonickel. Camo replaced. TFTC!
Found it, thank you. Our son loved "treasure hunting" for his first geocache
30 June 2024 8:05amWow! A maccamob 2002 cache!!! 
What a treasure. 
....and its still in great condition. [^]Found with catnap777 back in Victoria after our honeymoon in Tasmania. Driving off the Spirit Of Tasmania well before the sun was up, we grabbed the Virtual and a solved Mystery cache at the dock and then headed this way to tidy up a few caches around Little River on our final leg home.

TFTC maccamob. 30 June 2024 08:04 We just got back from a week of bliss in Tasmania, and were meandering home ever so slowly, grabbing a cache here and there.We had this one on a list to do on our wedding day, but just purely ran out of time, and there was no way we were going to miss the ferry.So, better late than never, and now we have our name in this golden oldie.Cache found in good condition, as always. Thank you again, maccamob.
Heading to Anglesea for a craft weekend so I took the opportunity to leave early and cache the long way there! Ha ha. A nice easy find here. Didnt realise it was an oldie so rather pleasing to find and tick off! Thanks for the cache legends
One of three caches found by [@RikkiJayMudd](https://coord.info/PR1JBBM6) and myself on the way into Melbourne on Mother's Day. A quick find in a sneaky spot. Thanks for bringing us here!
A quick diversion off the main highway this afternoon for a few Mother's Day cache pick-ups with [@DuckNomNom](https://coord.info/PR1J84Z1).I had no idea at the time that this was such an old cache. It's in great condition, considering. Has it always been the same mega bison? Where was the original location?A quick find, then back to the car before the two boys in the back seat squabble themselves to death!
After a pleasant paddle on the little river it was great to get this cache, another off my list for a jasmerThank you!
Currently on a 31 day geocaching slump, I decided it was time to finally get back outside and find a few caches. Recent life changes including moving house, new work hours, covid and bad weather have all contributed to it.I initially made my way down to the You Yangs to attempt the Wherigo caches there, however, issues with downloading cartridges on my phone meant I was unable to find any. As I began the journey back home, I took a quick detour down this way in an attempt to find a few of the caches hidden in the area.This was my first find of the day. I parked my vehicle in the reserve carpark then made the short walk to GZ. Once I was in the area, I managed to locate the cache very quickly. The cache and logbook were both in excellent condition, and I soon continued on my way after signing.TFTC
Seeing as I met the infamous maccamob at the Christmas lunch event, it was fitting that we found this one on our way to the Christmas dinner. Thanks for placing, all those years ago, this one is currently our second oldest find.
Thanks for this creative geocache!2nd find of the day and took me ~5 minutesIts still in perfect condition
Wondered if I should disturb the spot at first, but went ahead once I read the description properly. Dropped TB. TFTC
On my last 3 weeks of my visit from the US to see family (halfmugglemum). Getting some geocaches done while I can.Another one halfmugglemum had to reach for me but its found and signed. Nice area lots of birds around
Nice little reserve to park and nab 3 caches in close walking proximity. The caches likely hiding place was quick to spot from a distance and saw me have the log quickly in hand, so many thanks.
Then it was off to go creep under the nearby bridge for the next cache.

I was in the area hunting a few caches and thought that I would stop by this little reserve to grab this one. Found it in the obvious spot and a bit of a squeeze with my hand I was able to pull out the cache. TFTC.
We were on the way to the airport and we had some time to fill, we thought we could find a few caches in this area. Found on the way back to the car park. After finding the near by bridge cache. Nice easy find TFTC
Arrived from Tassie we explored this area and found your cache along the way.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Last time this cache was missing, on our way back today and driving past, made a quick find. Thanks for getting the. And back together and maintaining.
A quick grab after spending some time in the area doing the nearby Adventure Lab. A lovely quiet reserve just near the main road. Great hide, beware the cache guardians web! Tftc
How good is it to turn a frown upside down! Specifically cane to Little Rover to get this cache as I hate unfinished business lol. Good to see a smiley... thank you so much for placing this cache here

Muggled! After 20 years at the same venue, "The . . Band" has moved to a new gig about 60m away.
Searched for. Good 20 minutes. Expanded our search and brought up no good 
. Looked in every possible spot and tree!
. Looked in every possible spot and tree!Searched everywhere but was unable to come up with the goods today. Checked all the trees and then as we were heading back to the car I got stung by a bee who was flying around inside my top! Definitely not a smiley.
Take Aeroguard Mosquitoes are very friendly. Dont poke down holes lots of baby birds oh & mind the beehive. Good adventure even though I didn’t find it
No luck today. Looked everywhere but no cheap in hand. Watch out for the bees and try not to scare the bird in one of the holes. Maybe next time..
More of a note to myself to return and look for this as everyone else has found it easily. Under a bit of pressure with a car parked in the Carpark and poor Sheebs picked up some prickly pears in her foot. After an exciting day in Geelong, think it's time to head home
We were needing to pick up some items on the Northern side of Geelong and it was around lunch time. We picked up a few things for lunch and thought, where can we go to eat? We opened up the Geocaching app and noticed that this cache appeared to be in a picnic spot.
So we headed out of town and pulled up in the car park. We sat down at the picnic table after drying the seat and had a quick lunch.
While eating our lunch we looked around and saw a multitude of potential hiding spots.
So with lunch finished and ours and some other people's rubbish in the bin we set about finding the cache.
It was a quick find of a cache in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache maccamob.

Slightly off from the co-ordinates but your geo senses should lead you right to it 
Beautiful location. The cache was found after a quick search. I'm glad we came here and took a few minutes. TFTC TAD
Quick and easy find !
Just a hint, it is NOT in the nearby tree with the beehive in it

So excited was my first one I went to find, been a resident of Little River and having walked along this track many times, so excited to find it. I did take me a good 10-15mins but I was fun. Can’t wait to find many many more. Thank you.
Beautiful tract of bush! Great spot. On a mission to find a golden oldie or two despite the wee detour. It’s some time since I’ve been in the YY MTB riding so it’s great to be on the loose now that regional Vic can. Having said that, it feels weird to leave home base. Love this forest which is so different to NE Vic. TFTC and the fun! A fave for longevity!
Love the old Bridge that in the distance
Lots of places to hide the container beautiful area

First look was the home of a parrot which I accidentally scared. Second spot it was found. Thank you.
Maintenance check this afternoon. Cache is safe and sound, with no sign of any parrot in residence there or nearby.
I peered into the likely place for the cache and jumped back when a parrot popped his head out. I left him in peace and if I was correct in my determination of the hide I suggest moving it to a less intrusive place.
Please message me if my suspicion was wrong.

Had to wait for a few muggles to leave before I could look for the cache. The view of Rothwell Bridge from the path is lovely. It’s strange hearing the sound of planes again after it being so quiet doing the pandemic. TFTC
Quick find after work. Worked out where it would be even before GPS had settled.

Find # 9508
Day 1 of my extended long weekend.
Spending time with sharkiefan, we decided on a few caches for today, but as we drove around, the list of finds got bigger and before we knew it we were heading back to Werribee for Dinner. A little later than planned on that point too.
But it was the perfect day for caching, not hot n not raining, plenty of sights n fun had along the way.
A quick park, walk n grab.
