SWAMP BIRDS AND BEARS Carnegie, Victoria, Australia
By jupiterpearl on 16-May-19. Waypoint GC87XZN

Nearly missed this one, only found after initially passing it by.

Some interesting artwork to check out at this location, but a nice quick find.Today on our return journey we headed to the Caulfield area and then towards where we were staying. After a humid and foggy start to the day it cleared and got quite warm.Family matters have brought us to Melbourne for a period of time yet to be determined. As we spend time here however it gives us the opportunity for some caching in areas we would not usually get to.We chased a wide variety of caches and Labs with some great puzzles and Labs in some beautiful spring weather.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache jupiterpearl.**SKI Pair****

Found, nice one!

Thanks great find not sure about the hint but was easy and fun

Found this one today whilst out driving to go and do an Adventure lab step for the day for a souvenir that was apparently out... ah well that is something I have to do apparently haha, With that all said and done I now thought that is was the perfect opportunity to actually go out and grab my cache for the day. Driving past the other trad in the reserve there was just way too many muggles around for me to be able to find it subtilty, but this one had a clear run. So with that being all said and done, I quickly headed on over and spotted this one with no major issue. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

Quick find here. Just the way we like it. Love your work.Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumalated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Woden's day the sixteenth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

A nice find here today on our way past, cache is all goodTravelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache

Omg what a wonderful find after my 3rd try, finally the cache gods allowed me a nice day to find this cute little disguised cache! Needs more logbook paper, but otherwise in good condition! Thanks to the CO for a satisfying find!

Sneaky spot- misleading hint

Thanks! It took me a while to understand the hint and whats camouflage about it from a previous log. The name got me looking all around the box with birds on it, I moved around and eventually found your cache! Great blending in with surroundings. Smart hint and thanks for repairing.i would have never found this one if I had not seen a few other ones like these. All in Great condition!

Took a little searching round but finally found it

Cache find 236We are on a roll today quite sneaky but found it tftc

Found it pretty easily well done on the sneaky hide! TFTC

By far the best camouflage I have seen to date. Well done.

Ive seen these before and knew what it was as soon as I spotted it. TFTC.

cheers

Repaired cache

Repair complete

Replaced cache. Please replace as found.

Have the necessary equipment so hopefully back this week

Checked today- needs some repair May archive it depending on the degree of repair..

The name was very misleading but it was very cool and pretty rusty (strong hint) it was not in a tree and on the big box with dogs. Ty this is my first geocache

Found it OK but was unable to log it as its innards are gone.Needs attention.Nice artwork all around. TFTC

Nice spot and nice hint

I was in the area for some work meetings and thought I would try to find a few hides while Im about. Thanks to the CO for taking me to a park Ive never visited before and likely never would if it wasnt for the cache, so thank you for placing it. Photo of this beautiful artwork I found near CZ. Absolutely lovely and this is what its all about! TFTC!

I don't get down here very often.. my old stomping ground before geocaching even started. It's changed a bit. Here for a different type of event. Cache was a fairly quick find though the hint is a bit misleading! Thanks.

Find 3269Parked the car close to GZ and walked over.Scanned the murals and decided to concentrate at a certain area.Soon it was spotted.Log signed and all back safe again.Thanks jupiter pearl

Looked everywhere and couldn't find it

I just don't know what I'm doing!

Ty it was so much fun

Ttfn now I knew what type of cache I was lookin for

Spent a while looking and couldnt find it, even with the hint

Checked today. Still there at GZ

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

great find! TFTC

Very cool camouflage!

Second time we found it. Good spot!

Very tricky. Found on the second try

great spot

Tricky find with my friends

We travelled down from Western Vic by train today to catch up with Chook's son LazyAde and enjoy some post-Christmas lunching at one of the many eateries here in Carnegie. After enjoying a beautiful meal at one of the Korean restaurants it was time for some caching before we had to catch the return trains home. LazyAde hadn't seen one of these caches before but we had, so we were able to spot it nice and quickly and carefully replace it for the next finder. Lovely artwork. TFTC jupiterpearl.

flat out clever hide

DNF i think it's not here any more

This is a really hard one! Found it on my third try!

Had a long look but no luck. Checked in the obvious spot but no luck.

Great cache, it really had to make us think. TFTC!

Found it with rex46 on a Sunday afternoon

With dot558, after being cooped up for two day due to weather it was nice to find a smile after previous two had to give away due to activityThanks for the hint took a while but got there

Found straight away ! Wheel hint helped seen this type before so it made it easier.

Thanks! Lots of fun

First Cache

Couldnt find it

Deceptively hard dude

Love this types of geocaches. So sneaky. TFTC

My first find great spot hint could be tweaked a bit

With a little bit of time before the birthday party started just around the corner, we mosied on down here for a quick (hopefully ) search, Thankfully it was relatively quick and that had me signing the log right on noon and we were to the festivities. TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks jupiterpearl.

Second time to this local spot and missed again!

.

Thanks

Not too hard

Others snoop around so made it difficult to put back.

Thanks

Fixing problem

Problem fixed

Cache back in play

Found the log but no cache. I put some extra paper in the log as the current one was full.

I’m suspecting I’ve found the old log…not too sure about the new one. Got me confused.

Cache was still there. Replaced in appropriate spot with new log.
Reconstruct and replace as found please.

Found logbook in plastic bag lying on the ground no cache or anything attached.

Looks like this hasn’t been put back properly. Have to check.

Thank you

we've been to multiple people many times and couldn't find the cache maybe maintenance is required.

Found it nice hide, left a little something too

Thanks to jupiterpearl for this hide, we enjoyed seeing the mural.
A delightful space for the community to use.

After coming out especially to look for a Mystery cache... successfully... I was now on a roundabout way home, looking for random caches as I went. Recognising the container type, this was an easy find... although I am not sure if it is in exactly the correct place as it didn't line up well with the Hint.

Thanks **jupiterpearl** for the cache.

It took ages to find but we finally did it.

With some free time and no car for a couple of hours I set off for a wander around the area. I arrived to a nicely painted GZ and promptly spotted what I needed to see. This was a good hide and with only the odd passer by I was quickly adding my name to the log which is brimming.
Thanks to jupiterpearl for placing this cache.

Found it! We were pretty puzzled as we were looking for something magnetic on the box but eventually I realised the box wasn’t metal so I looked closer and found it! Great location and great find!

I was out to the south east for dinner and decided to make time for some caching as well.

I had an extra 10 minutes up my sleeve so I wandered down to make this find. This one took longer than I care to admit. Needless to say I will be a few minutes late for dinner now!

The log is a little full.

Thanks jupiterpearl for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.
