Had a few mins to spare on our way home so figured it was time to stop in at this one. We’ll it had us stumped!!! Worked out where we thought it should be, but sadly came away empty-handed. Was last found 7 months ago.
Can the CO please confirm that the cache is still in place please? Will have to try and swing by again another day!! Thanks for the hunt anyway

The first for the day as we head out exploring aiming to get closer to our 200th find. The small one solved the hint, the medium one got her hands on it. A nice easy find to start our day of hunting.

#4484 Our 3rd day on our short break staying at nearby Cape Patto. The weather is rather nasty along the coast today, cold and gale force winds. So we have decided to head inland for a day of caching. This was our first find, a nice quick one, say about a minute to complete, to get us underway TFTC skunk028.

Moving inland today - Cowes to Stratford, naturally with a number of short diversions and stops to get out and stretch our legs!
Appreciated your warning about traffic - located the cache in a minute!
Thanks skunk028 for adding caches to the geo-gameboard.

On a bit of a mini road tour around the east side from Inverloch and this was the first one. The hint helped and soon we had the right thing in our hands. Signed and returned. Thanks.

The weather was looking good , with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I headed to Inverloch armed with My mask and Sanitizer, I had a great day exploring the region, this is one of the caches I found today. a quick find of the nice hide.
Thanks skunk028 for the cache.

After having a panic attack that I had destroyed someone’s mailbox we discovered that it was indeed the cache. Very clever hiding place needed the clue for sure.
Drove up to gz and with the title and hint in mind, I spotted a likely hiding spot right away.
I hopped out to investigate and tried a few different places that weren't revealling anything.
A bit more searching without any luck (plus a car driving by prompting me to look as non-suspicious as possible) later and some help was enlisted from the car.
Turns out that something I'd scrutinized earlier was indeed the cache but I'd attempted to retrieve it incorrectly.
A different strategy was employed and the log was signed!
Thanks to skunk028 for this wonderful cache!

With my wife off on an easy 30 to 40 kilometer run for her marathon training, I had this lovely morning to myself. What better area to head towards than this lovely area. The 2 FTFs that were available had nothing to do with it.
As I turned into this road I saw a few items and instantly thought "No it couldn't be". But Yes it could be and is. Certainly not what I expected at GZ. I pretty quickly found this geocache and it is very well hidden in plain sight

One very well executed hide indeed!
It only took a minute to find but certainly has "the WOW factor"!
Thanks for the cache skunk028.
I owe you a favorite point for sure.

02/02/2020 - 11.15am - No. 1047 - 1st & only for the day
Out & about with NGS who offered to take me out to find a cache with 2 Non-geo-grand daughters. The plan was to find a cache for the souvenir but there was also a trailer fill of palings that needed to go to a new home so the trips were combined. Weather was much more my cup of tea today. Glad it wasn't like the heat of Friday! After a very short hunt cache was found & admired by the girls & NGS & girls amused themselves on the different road verges while I retrieved log, signed & returned as found. Like it! Paused at the next cache on the way back but knowing it was disabled we didn't stop. As it turns out it was enabled about the time we got home [:/] Biggest girl suggested we find more caches but it was decided the trailer might cause parking issues so we headed home instead. Thanks for the cache

we were on our way to drop a load of wood off to our son who lives nearby so thought it was a good opportunity to call in and have a go at this one. As I know this location quite well, I was pretty sure where I should be looking for this cache and I had it in my hand in a minute, but unfortunately I had forgotten my tools so had to go to the car and find an implement to extract the log as no matter how I tried, I couldn't get it out. Luckily there were plenty of bits and pieces in the car and I had the log out and signed and the cache replaced. BUT THE FLIES, oh my goodness the flies were so bad. A nice little hide. TFTC #278
As I hadn’t gone out to try to get the FTF of this and others by Skunks028 when it was published and we had a bit of time to fill between the two events at Wonthaggi today. This was the first of Skunks028 caches I looked for and found today. It took me a few minutes to locate the well constructed cache cleverly located at GZ. It was then that I worked out which of several possible meanings the cache title was referring to. Luckily we had the right TOTT in the car to access the cache.
Found by Mary and David, in company with pprass, at 09:40. Have found quite a few similar caches over the years, so were able to recognise this one fairly quickly. Still, it is a little different in its implementation. Our thanks to skunk028.
Found at 9:42 AM GAFF5 in the company of maccamob.
As we pulled up to go and search for this cache a milk tanker came down towards us on the dirt road and totally covered us in dust
Went over to GZ and we were a bit hesitant searching in some of the places, but maccamob was quick to spot an item that looked a bit too new.
Thanks skunk028
Feedback: Reading the hint just now - I'm glad that we didn't have to rely on that

I don't know if I would have looked in the right spot without the hint although the name was a definite clue. Great cache. Very clever.
I also liked that you mentioned that there was parking nearby. I thought it was helpful that you considered that. Favorite point from me.

We saw this one get published and I was the lucky one who got to come down to try for a FTF. I love tees kinds if caches. My advice: bring an extraction tool. The log is a bit tricky to get out. Many thanks to Skunk028 for placing this clever cache. There is ample parking once you turn off the main road. Very helpful
