Final event for the day. Thanks for this event. Find No: 1063

Today we drove to Lara, Beaconsfield, Doncaster, Ballarat and now we are back here. Can't believe the things we do to get a cache. Glad that we made it back to say g'day.
Congratulations on so many events and happy anniversary.
Thanks for organising another.

Today was a VERY big day [B)] , I have not found so many caches in a LONG time. . So out and about with beckNmonts, buhfuhguh and sedgwickDave. I started today with a ParkRun in Dandenong, then spent the rest of the day caching with good company. The plan was to find as many different types of cache as we could for some leap day fun.

After dropping off BFG, we headed to this one as our final event of the day. Lots of people here already, chatted for a bit and then headed off to try and make our finds for today equal at least 29!

Many thanks to Tally Tiger for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2020?*

This was our 5th event for the day but not the end of our days caching by any means. Great to see so many people attended. Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary and on so many events in between. Thanks for organising.

Leap Day...

The last one coincided with my 3000th cache, and I wanted a way of making today special without wiping myself out in the process. Well, what better way than picking up smileys on long outstanding caches?

I managed to knock a couple off the list before driving to this last event of the day.

Team ZACAATT, I hope you enjoyed this anniversary, whichever way you want to count it. I certainly enjoyed catching up with a bunch of people after a day of late summer shenanigans.

And pizza. And bikkies.

Oh, and a sneaky smiley.

It had been a busy day and the 4th event fir today, must be a record for me. Congrats on completing the calendar and able to rest now all sqaures filled in. Great to catch up with familiar faces.

Today was a Leap Day Event crawl with 5 events spread across Melbourne, with a couple of extra caches thrown in. Last of the events for the day, and many of the faces here I had seen at one, two, three or even four events previously. Having attended the event here exactly four years ago, there was a sense of deja vu. A lot of the attendees today were there back then.



My thanks to Team ZACAATT for organising and running the event.

I had a great time at the event Team ZACAATT. Thanks for organising it.

#1771 Can't miss an event cache when it is only 15 mins walk from home! Took Geo-dog along for the walk as well, although she wasn't that happy when she discovered the tim tams were not destined for her consumption.. Was great to catch up with a few people I have only known previously from their hides or reading their names in logs. At about 8.05pm I was concerned my deodorant was wearing off when at least 1/2 of the crowd up and left my vicinity. Was relieved to find it was due to a cache being published just 50m away! I will leave that one for some time in the next couple of weeks as we fill our final 6 or so empty spots in the P366 calendar. Thanks for organising this event cache, Team ZACAATT.

Great to be able to attend a local event here on the 29th. After spending the day at the women's T20 world cup cricket I found I still had time to head off to this event. I was even able to stop on the way and pick up a traditional and a solved puzzle to finally tick off the last remaining day I needed for the double calendar challenge. I signed the logbook but didn't bother with any of the trackables this time. I chatted to some familiar faces and heard some mad cap tales of personal challenges that cachers had been up to on leap day. Thanks to Team ZACAATT for organising this one. See you next (leap) year.

Well, that's about as good as it gets.
Such a beautiful way to conclude the day's events in this cute park with a crowd of wonderful people (not least OSHFAM, who I was finally able to meet).
Signing the log, having a biscuit and discovering trackables were the tip of the iceberg when it came to the antics here - slipping down the slide preceded the whispers of some potential new caches in the area.
Sure enough, the clock struck 8(:05) and the hunt was on!
But that's a story for a different log...
Thank you so much to all of Team ZACAATT for putting this event on, such a well-picked location and a great experience to round out Leap Day.
Hope to see you all soon!

What a strange title for a geocaching event! Once it’s explained it makes more sense. As usual, Team Zacaatt hosted a wonderful event at a great location. There were so many unknown faces for us. Also many people I did know and enjoyed catching up with again. To make it even more fun there was a new cache placed shortly after the event officially finished, which enticed us to explore the park a bit more.

Attended with +Wife as part of our Leap Day 2020 Excursion today.
A nice way to wind down after a rather hectic day.
Thanks for the event cache Team ZACAATT.

Last one for today.
We had a big day with CITO and Event.
Lovely relax there and good to see them again.
Thanks Team ZACAATT for the organise the Event.

*29 Feb 2020, Attended from 7:50 pm, Find # 10768.*

Well I did get here a bit later than I was first expecting and it wasn't caching related that held me up but there was still plenty of live left in the party when I arrived which went on for some time, with a bit of a walk around thrown in with the new cache that was published.

**Thanks to Team ZACAATT for hosting this Eventcache.**

With another leap day upon us we had done lots of different caches types and sizes last leap day so this year I decided to attend lots of events and to also help me build up my CITO count. A lot of driving today but the weather was great and managed to get to all 7 events in the day that I planned to.
Yay *FTF* was randomly awarded to me, I think that makes my 4th event FTF. Pretty lucky too with an excellent turnout.
Thanks Team ZACAATT for the event.

Arrived a little late to find the party in full swing. Managed to chat to a few familiar faces and met a couple of newbies too.
Congrats on your geoeventiversary, Team ZACAATT

Actually able to come. Will be early but be good to put some faces to names !

Grub62 and I are on our way.

It's always great to meet up with other geocaching people. Thanks for putting on this event.

A very well attended event. Good to see everyone and hear some very entertaining stories.
**Thanks for the fun Tally Tiger**

Thanks so much for organising this special once every four years event & happy event anniversary Tally Tiger/Zedaycee. Great turn out; being only my 2nd event I'm sorry I didn't get to meet more people.

We attended This Time Last Year after a lazy afternoon drive around the suburbs. It was nice to reconnect with some friends we haven’t seen in a while and catching up with others as well as meeting the lovely couple who used one of our caches as a means of proposal....so cool! We have had a lovely Feb 29 runners Ng around getting 10 different types in a day and making sure our number of aches found today was at least 29!

Thanks Team ZACAATT for hosting this event so that we could come and enjoy ourselves. May there be many more!

Thanks Team ZACAATT for organising this event ??Seventh and last one event for the day. The weather isn’t too bad. But later that night Brrrr!

Thank you ZACAATT for holding this event. It was a great opportunity to catch up with caching friends and meet new. Until we meet again.

Stopped by briefly to sign the log, achieve my goal of 7 different types of cache for the day (if only there was an unfound virtual nearby I could have made it 8!) and take photos of all those trackables to log later. Thanks for organising!

Great to meet some of the bog names in the area. Such lovely people. Look forward to seeing you guys again.

The whole OSHFAM clan attended including geo dog Roxy. Kids enjoyed the playground, hubby took Roxy for a walk whilst I stayed and chatted with people I already knew and many I was meeting for the first time. Great turn out.
Thank you for organising ZACAATT and for the yummy bikkies.
See you here again in 4 years time ??

Spiffy- had many plans for leap day and attending as many events as possible was the key plan. His dedication saw him attend 7 events in 1 day.

My last even and my 5th for the day to make my 5555th find. A great event as always and nice turnout.

Thanks to Team ZACAATT for the placement and fun.

We're amazed at to see so many people show up today! Thank you everyone for turning up and enjoying not only leap day with us, but also our four year anniversary of our very first meet! It seems like so long ago when we had no idea what a group of cachers looked like and missed our leap day meet and had to race back to this very same park in order to receive our souvenir.

Here's to another four years of caching!

Why did the chicken cross the road?

It had to expand its Search Radius!

Thank you so much to everyone who turned out. We had a great time hanging out with everyone this leap day. As we said, it was also the fourth anniversary of our very first meet and it's great to see how far we've come in that time.

Not even a crumb was left at the end (and thanks to whoever brought the timtams, they seemed to vanish very quickly!) Hope everyone enjoyed the new cache and see you next time.

What an amazing turnout for an event late in the day. Thank you to all those who attended tonight. Lots of new faces I've never met before.

Congratulations to Fleabag- on his 5555th find at the event!!!
