Thanks for the quick find #457! Shout out to the magpie for the fresh poo whilst signing the log.

*26 Oct 2024, Found @3:21PM, Find # 3965.*A nice day to take the bike out on this trail. Stealth was needed here with a muggle and his dog following close behind. **Thanks to crank1 for placing this cache.**

Easy find cheers. We are out doing this trail and hope to complete it today. Thanks. First one and the pens already gone. We have a texter it will do. W8CA

Perfect weather for a day cache adventuring with doddlingalong. Today, meandering around the parks of Narre Warren. TFTC.

Out on a gorgeous day with carmlee1, quick find...and onwards

Very sneaky little hide, TFTC!

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Today, I headed out on a geocaching adventure with crustyvarmint. and decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by riding our ebikes. The trails were in excellent condition, making for a smooth and enjoyable journey.we found most of the caches relatively quickly, However, a few caches proved to be more challenging, hiding just out of view. When we finally uncovered them, we couldn't help but laugh at how obvious they seemed once found. It was like they had been playing a game of hide and seek with us!The ride along the River Gum Creek was truly pleasant, and Im grateful to Crank1 for creating this series. Without it, I might never have discovered these scenic trails and the joy of exploring them on an ebike. It was a memorable day, filled with discovery, fresh air, and good company.

Today I went out caching with Juzzmagic. We were targeting the River Gum Creek series and, with the excellent weather, we rode our ebikes, and had a successful day.Most were found quite quickly, but some took longer. Once discovered, however, it was hard to understand why they had eluded us.Thanks for your work in this area, Crank1. Without this series I wouldnt have experienced the pleasant ride along these trails.

Found during our stroll along this section of the beautiful trail. Quickly spotted thanks to accurate coords.

Out caching with Riply1602 for their first dabble in caching. Nice little trail to follow. Tftc!

Tftc!

Found it , The clue was worked out, just waiting for a passing dog walker. All clear now log signed. Tftc

Found with icw. My first idea would have demolished the fence. After reading the hint I successfully searched in a different direction. Tftc.

Its good to have access to TFTC

Checked and still there. All good ...

Thanks crank1. Beautiful King's birthday to be out in Hampton Park. Very doubtful about finding it given the two previous DNFs but had it in hand relatively quickly. TFTC. Giddy up

DNF

Nope its in a big bush

Good little spot

Having found #1 to #8 almost two years ago on a bus driving job, today I was back in the area to drop my son to a friend's wedding close by. This time the bike made transit between GZs quicker. An update of the app I use has wiped all my specific cache notes made at the time unfortunately. All finds were in good condition, although a number of logs hadn't been rolled properly so were somewhat scrunched into the containers. I rerolled them all as best I could. I do remember this one due to the different placement. I had to wait for a muggle to pass before retrieving, and another to pass before resetting. TFTC crank1

Bit easier this time with the hint.

Found with Bogonghazy. Day out caching in the area. Thanks crank1 for placing the cache

Found with LittleBoss2 on our week in Rye. Yesterday's caches were so good, we thought we'd head back up the highway for another long walk. All these caches were in good order with great coords. What an amazing series of caches in a beautiful area. Our sincere thanks to Crank 1 for all the time and effort in placing and maintaining them

Decided to walk the river gum series today and boost my January finds. Thanks so much for a great power trail

BOP- bird of prey

Yay!

Well camouflaged on other the side tftf

Nope

No problem all good n easy TFTC

Completing another PowerTrail on the push bike today, This time going to tackle the River Gum Trail and the last section of the Hallam Valley Trail I have yet to fully complete.All caches are in good working order unless otherwise specified.Thanks heaps for the caches as always!.

Checked and still there, just replace the new log paper. All good.

Nvm we found itttt!

Bit of a change up in caches! TFTC

Once we figured out what BOP meant it made it much easier TFTC

We accidentally almost collapsed the entire fence yanking at something we shouldn’t have, but found it in the end.

Found it loved this one!

I didn’t like it

This one was a bit muddy. TFTC

Tricky to find
but good hiding spot.

Had to wait for a few muggles. TFTC

Very easy found the definition of BOP. tftc

Found this one and trying to log but not showing smiley face on app for some reason.

Yay

Exactly where they said it would be.

Another power trail by crank1 ??
Didn’t manage to fully complete this trail but I’ll be back again soon to tick the rest off!

But which one, easily sorted after a quick search

Found on a quick after-work walk to increase my number of finds in the Casey LGA. A good hint made for a quick find.

The GPS would not settle with the power lines overhead. A check of the logical places turned it up pretty quickly. TFTC

Out and about in Lyndhurst, Cranbourne North and Narre Warren South. Last time I was here, the area was under some slimy water, and I didn't attempt it. Today it was all dry, so a quick find was made.



Many thanks to crank1 for the cache.

With Crank1 - Gee Melbourne's weather isn't nice for me.
At the same time she fixes the caches. all done!.
Thank you for the cache and hunt.

Woof woof woof (translated - i found these with my mummy before I had my own account. I hope you don’t mind that I log them)

Decided to do a power track - not my usual caching journey. I put my mountain bike in the car and headed off to the start. Over 2 hours along the track and with Cachly on my iWatch as I went from cache to cache, I covered 23 caches in this series.

Quick find here. Thanks crank1

I usually don't do *power trails* for the sake of building the number of s... but a late decision to see if I can find 1,000 caches in a year... and a late decision to try for the third April souvenir... and a definite need to walk off the excesses of too much Easter and Birthday eating... resulted in me arriving here late morning to complete the **River Gum Creek** series of caches.

I parked near #13 in the series and, after finding it, set off towards #1 in the series... on foot. As with most caches today, this was a reasonably easy find. At this point I will acknowledge that my Logs will get a bit repetitive... but that has got to be expected for a *power trail*.

Thanks **crank1** for the cache and the series.

Progressive Count
Finds 9
DNF 3
Muggled Out: 0

Many thanx to crank1 for the series and ongoing maintenance as required

Damn that was a hard one

Took my son MirinTob to see how many of the 35 we could get.

Found while out exploring this lovely area and found this River Gum Creek trail so Thanks Crank1 for putting this trail together.

TFTC. Very handy hint. Glad it was not in the long grass!

Careful of blackberry bush.

An enjoyable ride on a coolish day. In fact it rained before we finished the series.
Thanks crank1

Grabbed the deadly treadlies, and with Chewinprickles and a couple of granddaughters, we rode the River Gum Creek.
Some really nice wooden sculptures around the trail.
A nice flat trail, and a lovely ride with very few muggles spotted.
Thanks for this series, Robmc.

can't seem to locate this one what's a bison lol

After collecting my Granddaughter from daycare, I took her home.
This gave my son a short break after he finished work.
We then cleaned out his garden shed, ready for hard rubbish collection next week.
Grabbed a bag of lemons from their tree.
Now it is time for a 3.7 km walk and grab some of your caches.
This was the third of seven finds.
Thanks crank1. A great place to get some exercise.

I should point out that 2 weeks ago I had ankle surgery. I'm recovering really well and wanted to find a flat sealed walk. Doing well so far and managing to cope with having to go exploring every now and then. Meanwhile, this is torture for the 11 year old.

A few places it could be.. yet it wasn't.. so it must be there.. and it was .. Thanks crank1 for the series

Found it! No shade here and I’m glad I didn’t follow the GPS into the grass! A quick find after looking in a logical place. TFTC SL. Really getting hot now. A couple more!

This one looks new.
TFTC

Out for another trail on another lovely day after what felt like years of rain. Really enjoyed this trail. Thanks crank1

Return here again since last week due to little floods in this area. Enjoyed the walking with bombers27. Found it. Thanks crank1 for placing this cache

TFTC Nice spot! What a lovely day!

Out for a spin on my Ebike along the trail today great weather for caching found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC crank

Nice find took me and am mate ages

Muggles approaching but got it in record time tftc

On my last visit, this was on the bad side of a stinky puddle. Nice to see it has moved - and the old pinky one is still there!

Another quicky for the chicken master.

*Gembrook Scout Awards Ceremony Adventure #13*
I had an awards ceremony for Scouts Victoria in Gembrook. I don't get to this side of town very often, so of course I'm going to pick up a few caches.
Another issue I seem to have is there's water all over the path again. Sections of the trail is at least ankle deep in rain runoff.
Thanks heaps, Crank1!

Found it. Good hide

Nice easy find again It's very wet here ! Thanks crank 1 ️

moved other places to avoid the flood on footpath

When I found this cache it was a T5, and I didn't have a boat handy. I'll be back later.

I think I spotted it but there was water and a huge puddle

Like Muzza I avoided this one far too much water. I could not see a dry approach.

I didn't attempt this one. Surrounding GZ was a large, slimy puddle that I didn't fancy plunging into.



Thanks to Crank1 for placing it.

Of course, this happened to be in a lake, didn’t it! Not really, but as my shoes were already wet, and I could see the cache beckoning, I went for it. TFTC

Very fun

out on my first real caching adventure as a Geo-cacher thank you for the cache.
