Unfortunately the main part to this cache has gone missing, big thanks to Dancy680 for returning the log sheet that was found.
We took the geo-pup for an adventure in Hoppers and Werribee today. We were very impressed by this clever hide and have awarded it a favourite point.

Last of our caches for today.
Had to be quick as the school bell had just rung, great camouflage idea!

A jolly well done geocache hide here. Very easy to miss if you didn;'t have your thinking cap on and we discovered the cache right at the posted co-ordinates which made it all that easier to find.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing.

after a successful day of caching around hobson bay it was time to head home but always time for another quick one......this was a very cool camo tftc
Out and about with Jenno3 grabbing a few caches around Hobsons Bay. We found what we were after and a few bonus finds. Heading homeward we swung by here to scribble our names on the log. Tftc
With an extra day in the weekend to celebrate the Queens Birthday I joined up with Donutholes to visit a few Adventure Labs and caches around Werribee:

Public holiday today so it would be silly not to use my time wisely and go for a cache!! AusFox and I decided we would work our way through a couple of AdventureLabs and any other caches that are in the area.
You are taking all my FP points away here arkbell80!! Another bold hide that blends in to the surrounds. As cache was being replaced, we bumped into some cachers. Always nice running into people who share the same hobby.
Thanks again. I will be on the look out for more of your caches

One windy, Wednesday in Werribee! A chance to search for caches which have been beckoning for ages and others fresh on the scene. The traffic was unreal, approaching school pick-up time!
Unfortunately we can only give one FP. This cache hide is worthy of many more - a stunning creation (when it is returned as it should be).
Thank you arkbell80, for adding such interesting caches to the geo-gameboard.

very creative this being my second find i am already attached to this marvellous hobby
Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.
Found this hide while out for another morning walk while visiting family in the area.
Another neat hide in a nice park.
Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoyed finding it.

27,373. Found with minniek during our long weekend trip down to the Geelong Region.
With a Community Celebration Event on offer yesterday, and my son living nearby, minniek and I decided to make a mini long weekend of it and come down from Goulburn for some quality caching and social events. Finding an evening event at a camp ground was just the perfect end to a perfect day. We left Goulburn at 2pm Friday and arrived at our hotel in Geelong that night at 10pm - perfect ! Up early yesterday morning for a whole variety of caches and locations. We finished up camping here and attending the BBQ and Sunset Event (or Swag and Snag Event as some called it) which was great. This morning we broke camp and drove to Hoppers Crossing to visit my son. After that we started the long haul home via some new counties. This cache was a quick find once at GZ. Sneaky. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on to the next one.
Thanks arkbell80 !!

Fitzy_1965 and I made a plan to head to Melbourne this weekend to visit his son who lives near Geelong. The Community Celebration Event at Geelong yesterday sealed the deal.
After a fantastic event last night, we headed to bed just before the rain started. It was wonderful going to sleep with the sound of it on the tent. A bit of a sleep-in saw us the last of the overnight campers to leave. We weren’t heading to this morning’s event near Ballarat as counties were more of a priority as we cached our way home. Packed up and on our way just before the rain started again!
All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned. Thanks so much for bringing us here today.

Preformed maintenance as the cache was not where it should have been and approx 5 mts away from GZ. Cache is back in place ready to be found.
After searching for some time I wasn’t able to locate. I’ll try again another time
No wonder why I couldn't find it the first time, I was looking in all the wrong places
On my lockdown trek today.
I made a little harder work of this one than was needed.
Eventually the aha moment set in.
Signed the log and moved on.

Suscoe was enjoying a trip down memory lane here this morning.
However we really don't see much of our memories left around here any more after over 30 years, change has made this so different.
A quick find for Suscoe and we must congratulate you on this clever bit of work.
A favourite from us.

Really dead spot for the GPS might be better to try again in daylight not dusk

After a long day at work with 2 hours overtime added I was heading home. This cache was one I targetted because of the Wonder of the World attached to it. Took me a little while to open my caching eyes properly. There are some other inhabitants hiding with the cache. So I dropped it a couple of times!! Tftc
Out on the bike on a grey drizzly morning to find a few caches before work. A very clever hide, reminiscent of a series on the other side of Werribee. TFTC
Found it! Took a bit of looking, that's got to be the best hides I've seen yet!
Couldn't find it unfortunately it was starting to get dark and I don't like spider's so will have to leave it for another day:(
*Found whilst cleaning up the area of a few local caches*
Apologies for the **LATE** log - *Sometimes life just gets in the way
Between house renos, COVID and life in general I'm just catching up on some late logs*
Needed this one for the last of the year and a very clever cache it was...
Thanks for the cache arkbell80. Appreciate your efforts.

Very sneaky. Took a while as GPS kept bouncing around. After reading a few logs I tried again. This time looking up.
What an awesome hide.

Found by Mary and David at 16:10. Continued walking from the BMX track. At this GZ, spotted the cache camo after a brief search, but took a while to extract the container. Our thanks to arkbell80.
Thanks again for the amazing caches in this area! Very clever hides! BYOP for this one
This one took a while. Dad spotted it. Very clever. Nice camo. Gets a fav point from us.
Found it by luck! Had a gander around, found a lovely looking (spoiler), investigated, opened, found! Very nice cache TFTC VNH

Out and about in the area after attending some appointments nearby, HerIndoorsOutdoors and finding one of the three new caches in the wetlands a few days ago, we thought we'd do what we could to clean up the rest of them. This cache was our first choice, but after hunting unsuccessfully for about 10 minutes we decided to leave it for the time being and head to the BMX track, figuring that we would see things differently coming back from the other direction.
That turned out to be a good decision, but didn't work quite the way we thought it would. We still didn't pick GZ heading back from the BMX track and with the iPhone's GyPSy doing a bit of a wander we decided to do a bit of triangulation to get a better idea of where we should be looking. That didn't quite work the way we planned, but it did work. On our last point I looked up from the 'compass' and saw what I needed to see. Once again the prize was soon in our hands and the log book signed.
The cache was in good condition when we found it.
