Thanks for this one! Sadly someone left the log on the outside

Thank you.

A nice easy find TFTC

Found it

I have been here so many times as the kids love to play here and suprised I never accidently found it. I've always found it interesting how this tree grew. Thanks for the find!

Had no problems here thanks napier92. I used the convenient tool provided which put a smile on my face.

Found it with Doza25.TFTC

Found it while watching the kids athletics. Love the way we needed to think outside the box to extract this one! Found with fluffyninjapants.

This is a ripper. All contents nice and fresh. Found with Hot Pants Family.TFTC.

Checked. Cache missing. Replaced with new cache and log. Placed a trackable.

Trackable dropped.

Distance from original: 7.9 feet or 2.4 meters.

Updated hide into different hollow same tree...the previous hide was proving too difficult to reach cache.

I did not plan to do this cache today but windy inclement weather made me want to head for the nearest station and this cache was sort of on the way. It took a while to prise out from its spot, but eventually the log was signed. Time to head home as I don’t like the look of the sky. I did not get as many caches today as I expected but will return on a more pleasant day.

I wasted a lot to time getting to this cache - l'll look at the map next time (I bet I get caught again!) Thanks napier92.

Walking around the Reserve the kids out of nowhere asked if there were any geocaches here. To our surprise there was one close by. Quick detour off track and found on first passing. TFTC

Regularly come here to officiate athletics but quiet now. An easy find

??

One pissed off spider, and some tricky wriggling later, cache in hand. Thank you

Down low hidey holes empty

Out on the bikefor some exercise...quick check. Cache muggled and missing...new cache,log and swag replaced.

There were a few possible hidey holes but I found this cache with relative ease seeing that the only muggles around had just walked off. TFTC.

Coukd be sooooo much better

I remember driving up here years ago to watch kid’s sports wondering why the put this arena in the middle of nowhere, now it’s in the middle of somewhere.

Thanks napier92 for Meadowglen

Nice quick and easy find on fine afternoon stroll around the area.

Very quick find to get my "Fun in all directions" souvenir while the geokids played at the skate park.

Suscoe headed to Melbourne today in the great company of Bushfire.
We had decided to target some caches along the Plenty Road area and we enjoyed travelling around the Mernda, South Morang suburbs as well as part of Bundorra.
It was a delightful day with plenty of sunshine and a mild breeze for most of the day. It did get quite warm during the afternoon as the cool breeze seemed to disappear.

We had a terrific day and thanks goes to all the cache owners for showing us this area.

Thanks to napier92 for this hide.
We walked to GZ from a nearby street and made a quick find.
We have enjoyed finding your caches today, thanks for placing them.

After claiming a very high D/T challenge cache in the You Yangs yesterday, only a two km walk but the walk there and back was the easy part, but the climb ,thorns and huge rocks proved a huge challenge for the ageing Bushfire who had done the same walk two years ago on his own but two years means a lot when your over eighty, but I made it, so today these caches were very easy but I am still feeling the effects of yesterday.
My very special caching partners, the suscoe’s invited me to tag along for a visit to this area which I have never visited before even though I have been caching since 2005.
I could not get over the number of great old Red Gums that seem to have been reserved with their own little bit of space and the number of old fallen huge old logs that have been given their own space as well.
On my day in this area I logged as I went with FLL, which simply means that I will follow up with a decent log ASAP. I had a please explain from sbrundan as to what it meant so now you know what it means and here is my full log as I said I would place tonight or as soon as possible.
Special thanks to all the cache owners whose caches that we have found today as without you guys placing caches we would be back in the early 2000’s when if you found two or three caches you had a good day and travelled many km to get them, oh so different today.
Thanks napier92 again for placing this cache for us too find. Second last find for the day and then the long journey back to Geelong.

Found after a brief search. TFTC.

I had to pass one of yours as I didn't download it into my GPS, so this one made up for it. A great bike path linking a lot of areas to ride and find caches. Left a couple of coins for other finders. Thanks again.

I have walked past this spot at least twice and forgotten to bring a pen, so today I made sure I had one. A quick easy find. Lots of muggles out this morning so had to stuff it in my pocket till someone walked past. TFTC napier92.

Out with xambo4u, we set out early to cache in Mill Park. A lovely day with some interesting caches along the way. These big trees had a wonderful life, but sadly are now disappearing.
Thanks napier92

Out and about with echidna44 for an other enjoyable day of caching. Not t to much trouble and with a long stretch we soon got to sign off. Thanks napier92 for all your variety of caches and spaces that you have led us today.

Find #1016 @14:10

Meadowglen brings back a lot of Saturday morning Little Aths memories for me. I was never really the athletic type but I certainly tried.

I had my doubts about being FTF about this one - it had been a few days with no online log so when an opportunity to finish work a little early came up I decided to swing passed here and see. Of course, my suspicions were correct and I will happily take STF and move on the TB.

Left a pencil pack and a handmade cockatoo. Thanks for bringing me back to the area!
