With dot558 and mitzi123456 had to look at previous logs to find all signed and put back where foundThanks for the smiles
Found it , what a fabulous location. Was very impressed with the giant structure. Searched for some time at gps reading with no joy. About to give in and then thought I might try over there, that's where I would have put it. Success, log signed. Tftc
No luck after, paf. And look and nothing there.
Is there any chance CO check, please?
So DNF from me.
Watch listing.

Nope! No clue, couldn't even see it but I'm kind of guessing that even if I did I wouldn't be able to reach it anyway judging by past logs! Not too sure how the T rating is 1.5 if that's the case, as some people have said before it might need to be a bit higher? Thanks anyway, might have to come back another time!
Today I went to test the new car and chose a great day for it - cold, windy, raining and even some hail so the car got a good test and didn't even get to stay clean for 1 day.
While gathering the clues for the new ad lab one of them was here and thanks to a previous log we didn't search where the GPS said to and instead made a slippery retrieval.
Thanks Sparra0907 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Spiffy- and I along with our geokids came out for a drive and cache in his new Ranger! Cold day so we were able to test the heater.
Fun watching Spiffy like a hamster in a wheelchair trying to reach.

I haven't ventured out to this part of town in a while, and oh my things are looking busy! The park here was really nice, and the cultures look great. I found the cache fairly quickly, and getting to it wasn't much of a problem.
Cache is in good condition, log is a bit worse for wear and may need replacing.

I was down south for the CITO and teamed up with OzHockeyChick for some post clean up finds.
We began searching for this cache but nothing was coming up. There was no cache to be found. We returned to the car and looked at the cache page a little more. . After reading a few logs and noting that many referred to the cache not being at GZ we tried again. Sure enough when we returned and followed geosenses I spotted the cache straight away.
Found the cache about 13 NNW of GZ and the current location giving the terrain a little nudge.
Thanks Sparra0907 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Our GPSrs had us about 12 metres away. It wasn't until we expanded our search area, that RH spotted the cache. No need for a TOTT when you have a RoamingHowie at hand.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, Sparra0907

We hunted around for quite a while before we realised we were looking in the wrong direction.
We had to return to the car to obtain some assistance measures.
The log was a bit damp but we manged to scribble a signature on it somewhere.
Thanks Sparra0907 for showing us this rather large feature.
Chiefton!!!

Out caching with AlexiKatty and needed to turn this into a smile. GPS was a fair bit off, but we got there is the end, log was very wet, we managed to sign away at this one still. Trust your instinct hear and not tje posted coords and you should uave thisbone pretty quick.

Very wet log but we found it. Replaced back where we found it.
Way off from where the GPS took us.

Haha sneaky! Unfortunately the cache was left open and log had been eaten. Replaced paper. More of a trash and treasure hunt.
Spent about 10 minutes looking , with no luck , so many places to hide a crafty container I just didn’t have my caching mojo on today
Thanx for the Adventure Stay Dirty ️

No luck today. Searched for a good hour and a bit but found nothing. Will come back and try another day!
Great location , kids enjoyed having a swing and admiring the statue . Little difficult to retrieve but finally did it . Tftc
Great little hiding spot. Found it quite quickly, but had a hunch on where/what it might be. I've just moved to the area and hope to see more geocaches popping up..
Thanks
Thanks
FOUND IT !!! Absolutely stunning find !!! Me and my cousin took about half a hour but it was so good once we had our hands on it !! Trust me friends it is there !!! Do no give up , I promise you it will be the best find ever !!
Wow what an awesome statue. Took a wee break from house inspection and thought we would give this one a quick go. Got to the gz and the cache was found within seconds. TFTC

Had a few hours to spare today so caught up with My good mate Omegaman1971, I was keen to tackle a few solved puzzles in the are as well as any other that were close by.
This is one of the caches we found on our travels. Certainly is an eye catching piece. Found this with out to much trouble and used a tool to retrieve. I think Your T rating is a little low on this cache.

Vaguely on my way back from Dandenong I decided that a quick traditional cache may be in order. Arriving at GZ I quickly found the cache in its hiding spot and was soon put back before a group of young muggles came around the corner. Eitherway thanks for taking me to this interesting spot and thanks for the cache.
*Found on the 7 Nov 2020 @ 9:17 am.*
*Cache find # 11040.*
Out and about collecting a few more wonders of the world while staying in my 25 kilometre radius.
I had heard about this structure and as I was in the area, I decided to have a look for myself and as well find the cache.

Today we were out in the Cranbourne/Officer area on our first sizeable caching day in quite a number of months now that travel restrictions have been significantly eased, allowing us to finally roam around and find a wide variety of caches in a region we don't often explore.
A very fascinating spot for a cache, certainly not a place I would've found without this cache here!
I searched around the coords for a while but nothing seemed to stand out whatsoever.
Out of curiosity, I had a closer look at the structure to take in just how interesting it was and spotted the cache hiding away right there!
Signed the log and had some fun trying to replace it!
Very nicely crafted container but the coordinates seem to be a little way out.

We were on the hunt for a particular playground we could take our granddaughter to which had been recommended by a Facebook post. Along the way we discovered this enormous object which took our attention. After a photo or 2 I pulled out the phone to see if there was a cache here, yep there was. So as it was a Sparra0907 cache, we were prepared for a search. Firstly we found a spot which would have been fantastic for a cache, if a bit hard to maintain. So continued our search and soon found a likely object, so sat down feeling happy for finding it so quickly. But no, it was not to be, so continued looking, soon spotted another object which looked promising, but how to get it! Well let's say I managed to retrieve it, yep this is what I am looking for. So happily left our mark in the log book and then replaced as found in between muggles. Have left a favourite point for the location and cache.
Thanks for the cache placement Sparra0907 and we did find that playground with the 3 story slide.

Campbell rang whilst on a bike ride and said he needed a hand to get the cache, he could see but not reach, quick retrieve and replace

What a fantastic sculpture of the Wheel Barrow. Thanks for setting up a cache here. Today it was drizzling as we arrived and not very many muggles around. GPS had us in another location which we searched a bit. We widen the search to another spot and discovered something that was promising. No luck. Then another scan revealed another likely. This time we had the right apparatus and the log sheet was signed. Managed to replace as found.
A good one.

Find #4433
Traditional Find #2769**
With the rain holding off for most of the day, I took the opportunity to jump on my bike and get out for some much needed exercise. The wind was strong and cold but I soon warmed up. I made good time here and it was easy to spot the landmark from the road. My GPS took me to the garden and after inspecting a likely looking object, headed to the landmark where I spotted the well camo'ed cache. Retrieving it required me to get creative but I managed it in between muggles. I'm surprised that so many were out walking but then again, I suspect they, like me, just wanted to get out and get some fresh air regardless.
With the log signed, I returned the cache and then proceeded home into what was now a headwind. For a short ride, I sure received a good workout.

2ndTF 4:25pm. I missed this one for a FTF. I do some casual work on a farm just up the road from this one and missed getting it by bit over a week. I should’ve brought the Geokids here to help me find this one as I could’ve used their help and they would’ve liked this area and the Iron Maiden with the swing on the handle. I couldn’t resist getting a second to find, but I persisted until I could sign the nearly clean logbook. Might bring them back here to see if they can find it.
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but when this geocache got released I had the spare time to rush off here. Didn't realise there were any traffic lights let alone so many houses. First time I have been here since it was all farms.
Parked on the main road and enjoyed the giant Iron Maiden for a little while before starting the search. Quickly found the geocache and took it to the car to sign out of the rain. Then discovered that I had only found the red herring. After returning it, I then spotted the real geocache in the first place I looked.
Thanks for the cache Sparra 0907
