We forgot a pen to sign but lots of little goodies inside

So good! Loved the little story

Checked on cache and it is still there

No joy after a long look

Tftc!

Cache has been replaced with small clear round container

Its not there. Maintenance required. Interesting graffiti under the bridge though lol

Will check on cache and replace if not there by Friday 24 May

Replaced cache 18.5.24

Unfortunate

Dnf on Sunday the 17 march 2024

Tried to find this one on the way home from a quick drop-off at the airport, but no luck today.

Well, that's disappointing. I was sure I'd find this one but no. TFT hunt

Fun

I found this cache today on my Mega Geocaching Walk #11 - a 23,500 step walk from Coolaroo to Glenroy via the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail whilst also celebrating our 20th Geocaching Anniversary. Found at a nice little bridge. Thanks from D B-A

TFTC

Seems muggled

Thanks

We are on the 2023 Great Vic Cache Crawl, but the tempo is picking up from a crawl to a sprint! We came over to this park after attending the Westmeadows cache crawl event to get a few more finds in the area.

SteMicMitSar and new_bruce_ were just emerging from under the bridge as we approached. Funnily it was also the same time as a police patrol car *cruised* past. Ahem, nothing to see here officers! LOL

There are a few Billy Goat Gruff caches, so we knew what to do here. Logged as LetThemEatCache or CLARK for the whole group, or anything in between! TNLN. Thanks kiwifruitNZ for bringing us to this park. Cache on ??

We departed the letterbox cache and made our way back to the car.

Noticing SteMicMitStar was provoking a troll, Team CLARK (ConnieLetthemeatcacheAndRickKristysadventures) headed over. Within seconds the police drove by just as another cacher popped out from ground zero... nothing suspicious here, just 5 people poking around heheh..

thanks for the afternoon fun.

*Found on the 19 Aug 2023 @ 3:57 pm.*
*Cache find # 14977.*

After finding the nearby letterbox cache which was the target, we then went for a sroll to this one on the way back to the car.
As I was approaching, I noticed someone duck under the bridge and retrieved the cache which happened to be new_bruce_, I signed in and then it was time to head for home before continuing the crawl later on.

**Thanks to kiwifruitNZ for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

*Great Vic Cache Crawl 2023 Adventure #22*
This is a very pretty creek, with lovely parks, and a huge litter problem.
I picked up dozens of items in the area, including a bicycle, a printer, a steam-mop and car parts.
Despite the mess, thanks heaps for the cache, kiwifruitNZ!

Came here after the Westmeadows Cache Crawl event, and made a quick unstealthy find, being spotted by Stemicmitsar. Then CLARK arrived, made the third find, and discussed the advantages of CLARK over their caching names, and other Billy Goat Gruff caches we know of. And then we headed off to the next event. Thanks kiwifruitNZ for the conversation starter.

Probably my quickest find in the last month, thanks for this. Signed as CLARK to cover us, LetThemEatCache and Kristyadventures.

Nice quick find

Having spend 40min mins nearby searching for a FTF which appeared to have not been placed, I decided to move on and find another local cache.

This was the one and fortunately this was a much quicker find.

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

Gotcha thank you

Found it, put a smile on my face

It was on the ground, moved to safer location away from muggles

Second find for the day.nice new container, looks like a sauce container from the Chinese shop, but it does the trick nicely. Great spot for a cache. TFTC

I like that it’s not too well hidden - the gps takes you straight there. I’m just glad it’s not summer because this is the perfect spot for a wasp nest and snakes, which worry me a little more than the troll, who must’ve been asleep because I didn’t come across him thank goodness!
A lovely Sunday stroll along this very peaceful trail- thank you for getting me out of bed and out into the fresh air!
Signed log: GEOYOWIE and left some coloured loom bands TFTC

Watch out for bugs

Alr this took me 3 days to find it the one spot I didn't look I FOUND IT look in the bush not under the bridge

Cache is exactly where it should be

This cache was a very fun find and I have added my troll to my geocaching collection (will come back and add something tomorrow as I found this cache accidentally while I was walking I opened the app and saw it next to me)

It needs maintinice you cant find it someone stole it

The cash it's not there someone took it

✓ Kurung thanks you for the cache!

✓ Found and Signed 15/4/23

We first entered and discovered the land of bread rolls. Kept on walking past to GZ.

Quick find after some looking. Sweet and sour!

Nice SWAG in the cache, nothing to trade so left inside for the next. Handmade swag is awesome! Need to start making my own.

Cache has been replaced

Went to replace log book today and cache is missing.
I will create a new cache and replace next month and re-enable cache when this has been done

Despite searching for 15 mins, I could not locate it anywhere.

Even checked recent posts for clues, but non helped

Someone dropped it but we put it back

TFTC! I want let you know that the log book is almost full.

Relatively easy to find, had to grab a stick to reach it. would recommend

First find of the day...
TFTC

Those billy goats.... Knew just where to look and all was good here.
Thanks kiwifruitNZ

Nice one for kids to find !

FOUND IT QUICK AND EASY!

Coolest find so far really close to home I took a souvenir and will put something in its place

Straightforward find, apart from needing a torch! T4TC

Checked on cache and moved it back to its original hiding spot. It had been rehidden in a different spot. Please return cache to spot you find it

Great find!! I had to read some activity logs for clue, the one that helped was ignoring the GPS & it was found!

Super easy find if you ignore the GPS. Second find of the day in the glorious sunshine. TFTC

Thank you! Will be back with something to pop back in! Nice hide! Took a couple of times with the kids!

Found at 12:12 pm.
Myself and OzHockeyChick headed out again today to continue this trail on the scooters and the weather was perfect and we managed to find all that we looked for. We had both found a few different ones along the trail so in a couple of sections we split up and then joined back together.
Nice quick find here and then we headed off down the trail.
Thanks kiwifruitNZ for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

A day of scooter caching with spiffy-, continuing along the trail where we left off a few weeks ago.
After meeting new cachers “tuddy kids” at the previous cache (I’d already found previously), we made our way here for a quick find.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, kiwifruitNZ

Good easy find

FOUND IT!!

TFTC!

Cherio!
Cool little bridge

Love love love this one

Nice hide

I was heading home from a late afternoon caching session when I spied a couple of caches along the bus route. Of course I hopped off and did the business. Great spot for a cache.

TFTC - safe and dry.

Out and about with echidna44 doing what we love to do clearing out some more within our 15k's limit. Nice easy find and another smiley for us today. Thanks for the cache kiwifruitNZ

Out with xambo4u in the Jacana area for a fun day of caching. We didn’t meet the Billy Goats Gruff, but we did find the cache. Thanks kiwifruitNZ.

TFTC - found the troll

On a maintenance run (well bike ride) and had to drop in and see if the billy goat was there. And yes, we found him. Thanks,

FBTJ #3218

Found this today

Watch out for the big poo!

Quick find but was a task in taking the cache out. Thanks KiwiFruitNZ for the cache. Lost the pen so uploading pic.
#48

Great spot - thanks

Well hidden

Found it with Silence49

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Very good

Looked both sides of the bridge. Could not find. Difficult to access because of long grass.

TFTC! A simplistic find to the last!

Tiny little spot to put it but found with little trouble

I didn’t get my feet wet thankfully!

Dropped off the Geowagon at Essendon Fields Autocentro for a service and i put the bike in the back so i can spend some time going for a ride
It has been quiet awhile since i have been on this bike path since i grew up not far from it.
They have done alot of work and it is great to see so many people out enjoying the sun after lockdown.
After completing the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail I continued along the bike path heading north to see if I could spot an angry troll or maybe three angry Billy Goats.
After a bit of a search and finally realising where I should be looking the troll finally made an appearance and let me add my name to the log and after putting him safely back I was on my way.
Thanks KiwifruitNZ TFTC

Maddd spot but if you have big hands good luck brother

A bit tricky i went in the waters but finally got it

Not over but under...

Awesome hide! Loved the spot, good fun looking around. It's also a low-key tranquil spot under the bridge.

**Find #3261**

This cache is within walking distance of Geo-headquarters. Find for the souvenir today. A great hide.

Thanks **kiwifruitNZ**

TFTC.
