TFTC,Working on building my LGA's cached.Log book is saturated, visited trackables.

Quick find after muggle moved on, log book very wet. Stamped log and replaced. Left a trackable to move on. Thanks to CO

Cool, log was soggy though, but will sign it here

Been wanting to get this one for a while but always been on a mission to get somewhere else today was the day to make time and it was a quick grab in between mugglesThank youSupPup12 for bringing us out here, showcasing this lovely area,contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!

Dropped by after a nearby event and signed the very damp log book. Tftc

Amazing spot!

Found it

TFTC.

Great one for the kids

After being away for a bit it is now back to suburban or rural caches after work to try and beat my last streak of 67.It is just a personal challenge that Im working on and Im going to try and make it to 200 which will be over 1/2 way for the year and that will do me.So it is now decision time to either take a small detour on the way home or a larger detour on the way home to find a cache to keep this streak going.Not much of a detour as I can go home this way in a very round about fashion.Parked the Geowagon and off I went along the pathway towards GZ enjoying the afternoons winter sun compared to the rain from yesterday.It was late enough in the afternoon so I missed the school kids who take this path.Looked in a few spots, under this and under that and soon came up with the cache.I added my name to the log and I was on my way.Thanks SupPup12 TFTC.

I found this cache on my Mega Walk #27 - a 29,000 step walk through Essendon, Niddrie, and Maribyrnong. Walking from Valley Lake down to Buckley Street on a path that I had not cached on before. Whew, that was a bit of a walk up. Wondered why the cache was not coming out but it was attached. Thanks from D B-A

Lovely hiding spot, swapped a bug! Come get the sewing machine

Tftc

Found while taking a Sunday stroll along the creek with geopup. Had to wait for a few muggles to walk and cycle through the area before we had the chance to grab the hide.TFTC

Needing some exercise in the form of a walk combined with fitfully working towards a challenge saw me travel over (once again) to Moonee Ponds for some caching up and down the Maribyrnong and Steele Creek. I started at Canning Reserve which hosted not only picnicking families of various ethnicities but crowds watching two local sides play footy on Anzac Day, a fitting tradition. I'd like to claim that all caches were found in good condition but unfortunately two of them required photo proof given the difficulties surrounding extracting them from their hides.My logs will include this standard blurb and then a comment or two about each cache separated from this blurb by a dividing line. Many thanks to the the COs for putting out the caches found during this walk.----After some uphill walking I came to a reasonable rarity, a regular sized cache hidden in an urban context. Unfortunately it appears that muggles discovered it and have replaced the container with their own empty water bottle. The cache is still proximate but is now inaccessible from the path unless you are Andre the Giant or have a litter picker handy without trampling all over the screening vegetation. I have forwarded photo proof of having found the cache to the CO. I have also respected his/her wish to not have the vegetation trampled when finding the cache and thus not put ink to paper. If this is seen to be a bridge too far re the rule applying to finds, feel free to delete my log and I will come back with a litter picker in an attempt to not do damage to the screening vegetation. If that proves insufficient I will disregard the expressed wish and trample the vegetation in order to retrieve the cache.

It was good and easy to find

Nice!

Checked in today, container is still there, however it is much more overgrown than before. I'll look around the area for the possibility of relocating the container to another place a little more accessible.

Only had a quick look so DNF. It's left us very perplexed as to how we couldn't find a 900ml container, so we'll be back! TFTC anyway

I needed to do a pickup in Tullamarine, so I went a little early to look for some caches along the way. I checked out a few places before getting it right.Thanks to SupPup12 for the cache.

A cool, windy morning walk after an airport drop off.Took a little more work than I initially imagined but was a quick find once that was done. TFTC

Found in the dark with the help of bmill042. Nice hide, tftc

Unfortunately did not find this one after a short look, it was getting dark at the time so we didnt look for very long, will definitely be back!

So good and fun

Out on my own today after dropping off a friend at the airport. Easy parking and nice easy find. Such a bitter cold day to be out. Cache in good condition. Thanks for the cache SupPup12

I had already found a cache this morning to continue my streak but when the weather turned out pretty good and Kristysadventures strongly suggested I try out the new scooter this afternoon (just so she could use my other one I'm sure). So we took an afternoon trip out this way and they have done a really good job of using this old quarry for housing.
We cruised around getting the ad lab and then along the bike trail southwards until it started getting dark and we headed back a different way with the lights on and a very fun afternoon was had.
I had a really rubbish look for this one but once Kristysadventures had a proper look the cache was soon signed.
Thanks SupPup12 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

As my guests were weary after the marathon race in the city, I left them to nap and I hatched a quick plan with spiffy- to test out his new speedy scooter on this rare sunny winter's day.

We started out at the quarry and for this part of the trail, I tested out the new dragonfly scooter. it was a smooth swift ride and we were very soon at GZ.

There was a little bit of rubbish at GZ but the cache was large enough to spot and our names were soon in the log before muggles appeared in all directions.

Thanks for pointing out the tunnel which we then scooted through to the next adventure.

Super smart and was fun to find

Took awhile very clever spot and i see how the clue is curtain

Thanks SupPup12 for this hide.
Figured where to look and the cache was there.
Now for the ride back to the car.
What a pleasant day.

Out today trying to complete the new wheel of challenges so I’m only doing a few local ones and saving the rest for later in the week. Great spot here. TFTC

*Found on the 4 Jun 2023 @ 1:24 pm.*
*Cache find # 14743.*

After the nearby CITO event was finished, I headed over to Valley Lake area and after a bit of a stroll around the area with McLookers & micaparamedic, I then headed off on my own on my bike and stopped by this one.
This one was a little further up than I first thought it may have been but found it in the end.

**Thanks to SupPup12 for placing this cache.**

Found with Bogonghazy. Thanks SupPup12 for placing the geocache

Found with LittleBoss2 on a trip to Melbourne. Quick find with great coords. Thanks for placing again Suppup12. Played footy for this mob a lot of years ago

Small amount of chambering required

hard

Climb up #wolfies

Nice hiding spot
Thanks

I found it yesterday with my mate, first one we ever found, did some drawings in the notebook, didn’t take anything but my mate used up a decent amount of bubbles blowing them in my face while I was drawing,

Don’t judge the drawing I did them in 5 minutes the dude I drew looks sad asf and he is now “the lonely geo man”

Found. It. Wow hills.
Left TB we have had for a while
Hope it travels some more

Nicely hidden

TFTC

A nice stroll along Steele Creek and up to the underpass.
Great clue meant once I checked the coast was clear I made the grab.
Great placement and coordinates too.

Thanks

Some after-work caching with Geoturtle37, exploring this side of town.
A scramble to reach gz, and made it back down just in time before a muggle appeared from the tunnel with a cute little puppy.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, SupPup12

Put my car in for service this morning in Bundoora, grabbed the courtesy car and here I am . A very nice day for chasing a few geocaches.
Almost fell off the top layer trying to get down before someone came along. See, I am a silly old coot

Nice spot, easy find although need to leave the path to see

Looked up and down… No sign of the cache

Good hide v

Satellite view helped greatly
Tftc

I found it

A good size container. A muggle free Monday! TFTC

Easy find! Step up to the challenge

Cache container has been replaced and a little maintenance of the area to help.

Had a look today and seems that there is a bit of damage to the area and the hiding place was exposed.
Sadly,no sign of the cache, so disabling until I am able to get a replacement.

15:00
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, searching all the area that a TR1.5 suggested, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
Unfortunately this 1.5/1.5 didn't want to show itself to us today!

Thanks for the hunt anyway SupPup12.

Many thanks SupPup12 for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Picked up a trackable and dropped another trackable.

Behind the curtain

Navigate was a bit confusing. But found it rather easily after looking at activity page.

TFTC - quite literally, behind the curtain.

Found easily enough. Quite a few muggles.
Left trackable.
TFTC

Easy find on a surprisingly hot day!
TFTC

Is

Out on a bike ride and passed right by gz so had to stop and search. I found this one just sort of tossed into the bushes and fairly visible. Luckily everything is still intact and I've hidden it back away where I suspect it was supposed to be according to the hint. Thanks for the cache SupPup12.

Thanks! Got us to a place in Melbourne we have never been!

Looked around for 20 mins was about to give up.. and then

Fun times!

Nice to find a decent sided geo!

Good curtain

Crafty hiding spot! TFTC

Lots of treats in this ️

TFTC with Ninjacheeto

Good hiding spot!

Nice hide! Although on a previous comment: if a cacher were eating Lunch when we went looking we would just say hi and have a laugh! You do you boo

Our third find! Cool hiding spot! There was no hand sanitizer though.

Found it, although a little frustrating when the previous finder decided to sit and eat lunch right were it's hidden. Tip, find your cache and move on. Your ruining it for others

Within my 5km, just too many muggles around for me to really search. Next time!

Maybe I’ll be luckier on a different day

I was working at my office which is over this side of town though little did I know with another lockdown imminent it would be my last time out this way for some time! Had done a bit of research on this one to scope out a good spot to park and once I had arrived there I continued on foot. A lovely view over the school playing fields here and not a spot that I have visited before. I had recently noticed a gap in my Jasmer stats where hadn't found a cache placed in September 2020 and this one also satisfied that criteria. A bit of searching in a few possible spots at GZ before the cache was in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache SupPup12.

Awesome little spot to hide, tftc

Thanks for this great run of caches along Steele Creek. Today has been by far the nicest day of July. I have been really impressed by the roads, paths. stairways and houses in the valley.

Great hiding spot to a bit thanks Rongeo22

Nice hiding place, not too hard for us beginners, thanks !!

That's for brightening up our first day of lockdown! Hope the next person enjoys the tasty treats

Tricky one

Still in lockdown but it was good to do a long walk a bit further away from home. Tricky one to get with the muggle population being boosted by the lockdown...funny how restrictions mean people go to the parks. Thanks,

FBTJ #3202

Fun

TFTC. Nice easy find on our night walk!

Well hidden but fun to find.

Nice and Easy! TFTC!

Thanks for the cache. Not many muggles about. Lovely day to be treasure hunting

Played a junior from mail against st Bernard's and Altona here smashed both teams

Visiting from Perth. Found this on a lovely walk with nephew and dog. TFTC

Sneaky hide with a nice view of the school below. TFTC! Everything still fresh and intact
