Found during a caching trip out to the north-eastern suburbs to clear up a cluster of caches that I've been meaning to do for ages. Most caches were found relatively quickly and were in good condition. Thanks for the cache bgmat!

Out for a long stroll around the area, and this was one of my stops along the way.

Thanks again to OP for giving us a lil nudge on this one as this was our first mystery. TFTC!

After attending the Early Birds Event this morning, I headed off for a few hours caching in the northern suburbs.

My main targets were some previously solved puzzle caches and some multis. I also managed to complete the Adventure Lab cache at Thorndon Park Reservoir.

Thanks bgmat for the puzzle and the cache.

Had to duck out to the shops and thought I may as well make a short detour to grab this cache. Approaching dusk so GZ was thankfully deserted.
Quick find, sign and back on the road.

Thanks for the cache bgmat.

While the weather was a bit cooler today I headed out to grab a few caches in the north eastern suburbs. A nice mix of trads, puzzles, multis and labs were found. All caches (bar one) were in good condition. TFTC

A quick solve shortly after publication but not down this way clearing off caches until today. Razz Entering the park the GPS was roughly pointing to a seat so I went straight there and started searching. Twisted Nada. So I sat and looked at the GPS. Oh not here at all.Red FaceRed FaceRed FaceRed Face Bloody noobie. [:o)]
So this time I followed the GPS until it settled as I did and then made a quick find. Smile

Today I could try and cross off one of my goals for this year but to do so I needed to find 6 caches. Smile Good excuse to get out of bed early and head out for the morning CITO event. Big Grin From there I could plug a few holes in the map and still get home for breakfast...err lunch! [:o)]

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks bgmat for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin

I am currently on my L-plates and wanted to get some hours up. Today was a perfect day for a big 6h drive mainly on the North Eastern side of the city. Lots of opportunities for parking practise, reversing, u-turns and finding a few of those mystery caches that my dad had solved throughout the year but never collected. Total tally was 18 caches visited and 18 caches found. Most caches were stamped with my dad’s stamp but when there was a pencil available he also added my name.
Thank you to all Cache owners

Our geodaughter Skyebird3 is on her L-plates and wanted to get some hours up. Today was a perfect day for a big 6h drive mainly on the North Eastern side of the city. Lots of opportunities for parking practice, reversing, u-turns and finding a few of those mystery caches that had been solved throughout the year but never collected. Today’s total tally was 18 caches visited and 18 caches found.

Cache #8 and after a bit of a drive we arrived at this playground. Ordinarily I wouldn’t entertain finding caches in these type of locations but with geodaughter present I had a much better cover.

With only the Rat and the Adder available for our usual wandering Wednesday we visited the area to search this and a number of others that had been published since we were last here. Thankyou for the cache bgmat found 23 December 2020 13:04

A quick find in an empty park. I'm glad th8is spot was rather zoned out today.

Thanks to bgmat and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

I tried everything but the right thing with those numbers and left it for a while, then came back to it and tried something else and lo and behold a green tick, thank goodness for that. Big Grin

Today I had been at the Christmas Event sort of close by so I decided to come and find the cache while I was out this side of town, oh and I needed a puzzle find for today. [^]

Arrived at GZ and a couple of muggles were just leaving so I waited until they were well and truly away and I started my search and as usual the cache was not found in the first or second etc places I looked/felt. Surprised Eventually after getting down on hands and knees the cache was spotted. Cool

Thanks for the puzzle and cache bgmat. Smile

Solved this one a while ago and just haven't stopped past to find despite only living a few minutes away. Needed to post a letter so a detour past the playground to the post office resulted in a quick east find. TFTC

With the final day of being free for 6 days if not longer I decided to make the most of the few hours of freedom I had left before some other commitments.
Stopped by this one cache was found and is all good.

Another cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing another fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed another logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Another cache in pretty good condition for another cache age. Made a meal of another puzzle until I was told to slap my forehead.

Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

A cache that Owl made a complete mess of, trying every calculation but the correct one. Some days are like that. On the way to meet a friend she had another one, searching everywhere but where the cache was. (She must have missed it by that much!) However, a second look found the prize.

{FTF} with locus cache at 1748 [^][^][^][^][^][^]Big Grin
The streak continues.
Had a look at this one when it came out and tried a few things without success. Put it into the maybe later basket, that was until I got a call putting me on the right track. A green tick and a short drive later got to GZ just before locus cache where we shared the FTF.
Thanks bgmat for the cache and the chance to continue the streak
