TFTC found with Algae on his electric unicycle while I was on my new electric scooter. Whooo hoo. Log is wet unable to sign it. The log is only one piece of paper. A bit freezing this sunny morning.
We were in the area on a job today and made our way here after a meeting nearby. It was a lovely park and the cache was soon sighted. Unfortunately it looked like it had fallen below where I believe it may have left. I don’t think it was muggled but rather a victim of recent wind. I tentatively climbed down to collect the bits and pieces, sign the log and return the cache to it’s hiding place. Thanks Margaretforr1987 & redcruiser for the cache.
A lovely Park to hide a cache, I enjoyed my stroll around this wetland area. This certainly isn't a quick find and, unfortunately, I don't have the very, very, very, extra long arms needed to reach it. I managed to find a way to the hidey spot but I needed to tread very carefully so as to not trample the recently planted vegetation or to trip on a rock. Thanks for the cache.
PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me on my great caching adventure today.

I've never been out to this new bit of Morwell. Some nice new houses here and wetlands thankfully with no guns for now. Hope the ducks here stay safe. Cache not quite where I expected but not hard to find nevertheless. Thanks.
Well I made that harder than it needed to be, but eventually I came up with the goods. The log needs replacing by the way. Only a couple spaces left. Thankfully it's a beautiful day. The rain had cleared and the birds and frogs are out in full force, and I discovered an area I hadn't explored before.

Out for an end of year caching session, despite the heat it was a good day.
I was surprised I managed to spot this cache as easily as I did as it was well placed.
Log is almost full but I managed to find a place to sign

A little tricky but not too difficult. Others had reported a damp log sheet, and although it is a bit tagged, the sheet was dry today.
On dusk this was a long shot to find a little under prepared.
After quite hunt in a slightly misdirected location, we made a find and signed the log.

Well this time I found within 1 minute in a place I had previously looked. A sad soggy log book that could do with replacing and a bag. I was greeted by several beautiful birds strolling around. Tftc
Found it! Found it yesterday, actually, but somehow managed to miss logging it. This is a nice little area I didn’t know existed - thank you for bringing me here!
A bit of a fiddle, but found it in the end.
A lovely day after the past few miserable, wet, windy and earthquaky days, so we decided to team up again with Rebel Acts again and do a few local caches we hadn’t got to. Many of the logs are signed RASP because the alliance is back in action!

Only thing I found was a spider
My first day out and about to geocache (work & lockdown) and had nothing urgent to do so it was joyous to just have time to explore and see what I could find.
Wind blowing a gale and so little patience.

wasnt keen on going over the fence but did and cut my hand on the native grass, left a diamond anyways, tftc
Found with TeamGruidae and we let one of the cranelets find the cache. It was delightful to see two young boys keen to share and use a phone for such a great purpose. The cache led me to a surprising part of Morwell. The wetlands are relatively new but growing into a promising resource for both humans and wildlife. The bird of the cache was a Chestnut breasted Shelduck. I hope the container stays the distance. It seems a bit fragile, and as mentioned previously, and the log was a bit damp.
Out with the boys after a lovely bushwalk in Moe with friends, this was our first cache found bumping into a pair of fellow cachers!! So it was lovely to meet and talk with the Surefoot duo from Phillip Island (at least I think that’s the name I recall!). Also an area of Morwell we have never been to. This log was also a little damp but TFTC!
With restrictions lifted in Regional Vic once again it was time to get out the house and enjoy the outdoors. A nice wetland area that I have never been to.

Out caching today before an event for my other hobby today out in Morwell. So decided to get up early and smash out some caches on the way up before the rain comes in in the afternoon. Got a handful done all in all with not DNF's, even got a new LGA and won the tournament in Morwell....win win I think, thanks for the cache.

Very quiet here today nobody's around in a place in morwell l haven't seen before found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC
One sure fire way to get the geokids to get hunting is to tell them that their spiderling friends have already found this one! The dedication was intense and quickly came up with results. Of course then they turned tail and ran back to the nearby playground but I will take that as a win! Always a pleasure to find a new cache in the area. TFTC!
This is a great little area for doing fun outdoor things. It was interesting learning about the wetlands too. Visited with Pink Dragonfly but we arr still travelling together. Tftc
Took us a little to find as we thought it was rubbish then realised it wasn’t
It's really exciting to see a new geocacher in the area start hiding their first caches! Today, after school, the spiderlings, geodog and I drove over to explore these unfamiliar wetlands. We followed the hint and the youngest spiderling excitedly spotted the cache. He then explained to the rest of us that he's clearly a better geocacher.....at all of 5 years old. Tftc!
