Had some extra time waiting for the bus this morning so I decided to revisit this cache. In less than 2 minutes I turned the little blue sad face on my map into a smiley one. GPS was way off the first time but as close to perfect this time round. The log was a bit damp but luckily I had a ziploc bag with me so I put it in there, hopefully it will protect it a bit better. I took the cute smiley badge as a trade. TFTC

Excited to find this cache that @MiniMe2000 hid in addition to my Floodway #1 but unfortunately did not find. I did stumble across the pen I believe was in the cache. I am excited to try again after some maintenance.

Will be doing maintenance on this very soon.

One windy, Wednesday in Werribee! A chance to search for caches which have been beckoning for ages and others fresh on the scene.

Here we looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.
We found a couple of empty used containers but dismissed them as rubbish.

Thanks for the hunt anyway MiniMe2000.

Nice quick easy find. First time out finding caches since covid. TFTC
 
05-May-22
A call on very short notice to have our new car at the canopy shop in Springvale meant a quick trip to Melbourne and the chance of picking up a few caches out this side of town.

Today we headed out to Scaribee to tackle some of the AdLabs and any caches we came across.
Thanks for contributing to the fun MiniMe2000
 
05-May-22
Dropped down to Werribee to complete some AdLabs with The Morris.
Grabbed a few caches on our way past.
I walked past this one, but the Morris spotted it and called me back.
Thanks, Robmc.

Here is a riddle for any venturer:

Take a couple steps back, and enjoy the scenery, breath what they produce, at their roots, that will do.

All in all, was a good Geocache!! Great work.

Out on a very pleasant ride after dinner to find a couple of caches.
This was a neatly hidden container, in good condition, due in part no doubt to the previous finder's careful replacing.

Cache container is broken on the top and was quite hard to open as a result. We placed a stone under the heavy rock to try to keep the pressure of it off the cache container. Good hiding spot.

An easy find, but the cache is in danger of damage due to the rock which is 'rolled' on top of it.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.

Found by Mary and David at 14:43. A quick find, but we needed to dry a little more moisture from the bag. Enjoyed the sights and sounds of the numerous birds here. We remember a tractor pull event held on this floodway around 1985. Our thanks to MiniMe2000.

This morning after breakfast, HerIndoorsOutdoors saw a bunch of emails about new caches being published. There were a couple of them not far from home, so candidates for a quick find before lunch.

After an embarrassing DNF at the first cache, this one almost jumped into our hands when we hit GZ. As we were approaching I noticed what looked like an obvious place for the cache to be, but we kept following the iPhone and GyPSy (we weren't taking any chances) for another seven or eight metres to an obvious place for a cache not to be. A quick U-turn, trot back to the obvious spot and pick up the cache.

Neither of us had ever seen a container quite like this one and we were a bit concerned that we might not have found the right thing, but there were a couple of indicators that this was indeed the cache we were looking for.

Joint [FTF] with HerIndoorsOutdoors.

Apart from a little moisture in the container, which we wiped out as best we could, the cache is in good condition.

After seeing all the freshly published cache notifications this morning I suggested to RGSBruce that we might have a chance to get an [FTF] or two today. It didn't take much arm twisting to get him to go for a hunt and if you want to read the rest of the story, you need to check out his log Smile.
