Picnic anyone?... Rosebud, Victoria, Australia
By Beckgiz on 20-Sep-21. Waypoint GC9GBQ8

I think we know where it should be, but couldn't find it

Nothing to be seen

second attempt and im giving up before i go nuts. i just cant quite get it. i think ive looked in all the obvious places. ive used as many clues and hints and past logs as i can and with a small amount of muggles i just cant keep going. weve been here for hours! i will be back!

Great camouflage

Great little find

After failing last visit we had no problems other than muggles with this one. Didnt take long for them to move on and we swept in, grabbed the cache, signed the log and popped it back where we found it! Awesome hide! TFTC

Raced across the road dragging miss 6, master 3 and my mother whose age we don't discuss. Luckily there was a playground to keep them occupied whilst I searched. I was dreading it's location as I saw a couple of muggles where I thought it would be, and it looked like they were settling in and about to get started on their lunch. I'd come this far and was not going to walk away without it, so instead, I initiated them! They were so excited and downloaded the app, as well as took photos of the find. I won this round!

So fun. Had to wait for muggles to leave. What a fun fun find

Great hide, took some patience but kids and I successfully retrieved it

It was really obvious when you find it! Great location kids had a great time. TYFTC

#33 - Such a simple yet clever hide. Had to be very patient as there were many muggles around as well as one napping on top of the picnic tables. There were also several broken glass bottles in the area. Miss 6 & 8 had a great time playing in the playground which we followed up with a walk along the pier.

No luck this time

Visiting the playground and having some lunch this afternoon. Knew what I was looking for as soon as I spotted what was at GZ and with a lot of muggles in the area discretely confirmed my suspicions. A bit more of a slide and came back to find the area empty, so a quick retrieval and sign before replacing the container. TFTC! This is a great park for the kids.

Myself and idontcachemuch are visiting Melbourne for the Kings birthday game this year.I'm very excited as I've always wanted to go to the big freeze game.We are also taking a trip with a hire car to the Mornington Peninsula on the Tuesday.It is so so cold down here today. Which a local friend tells me is normal... that sucks.We wanted to go for a walk to the beach. It started to rain... so we detoured to this cache instead.A relatively quick find here today. Thanks Beckgiz for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 4152 on the 11th of June 2024.

What a cute fun hide! HadMy Friend hold the baby while I fixed his shoes and grabbed it as we were surrounded by muggles! A great park for kids

Words of my 6 year old this thing might be stuck in a hard place. Tftc

Always too busy here so decided to try a quieter day ehich worked a treat Cache found safe and sound, log signed TNLN TFTC

Super fun to find, our first cache! We came at night so no muggle disturbance

This cache rocked!

Looked everywhere and couldnt find it

Found with Cassie after ParkRun TFTC

Cool little Cache in a great hiding place.One of twisted our ankle trying to find it but we fought on to find it.Lots of people around so was VERY cautious.Thanks vey much Duckie Boys

Tftc!

Nicely hidden, but quickly found. Tourists have left the peninsula and barely a muggle in sight.

Awesome find! Kids loved this one, tricky!

Thanks!

Clever hide!

Hidden well our first for the day found with Rex46 Dot 558

Found out it with rex46 & Mitzi 123456

Awesome hide very sneaky !!!

Great hide

Very nice hide

A much cooler day to be out and about today.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks Beckgiz for the cache.

A couple of people around so couldn't have a good look.Next time!

We have got way behind in our logging and are trying to catch up and get our caching in order.Life has been pretty hectic this year, and a lot of it has gotten in the way of efficient logging of finds.We want to thank all the Cache owners for providing an array of caches for us around our countryside and in our cities.We apologise for the generic logs. We must do this to get through the backlog.Unless otherwise specified, all the caches we found were in good order.Thank you, Beckgiz, for this Traditional cache.

Holidaying is Rue with some chums, I could not resist finding a couple of caches. I found this one within a reasonable time after reading through a few logs. Great spot for a cache.

Great find for the kids tftc

Phew. I thought I would have have to admit to a DNF but perseverance paid off. On arrival at GZ I looked around that area for it but obviously not well enough. On my last it must be here somewhere look the cache was found. TFTC

Great Hide! Very clever lucky it wasn't busy at GZ. TFTC!

Nice one! Hidden in plane sightWill need a slither of experience to know what you're looking for on this one

Yep. As I thought it might be. Great location Extraction harder than the find lol. Thanks for the fun.

Ive had it most lovely afternoon! Having worked on the other side of the Peninsula all year, I was inspired by todays warm weather and the start of daylight saving to get down to the beach. I went for a swim at McCrae beach and it was glorious in the water! I collected shells all the way along. After sitting on the sand I went for a walk to see the lighthouse. Then I ordered Indian takeaway for dinner in Rosebud and went to find this geocache while they were cooking. Great hide! As soon as I approached the structure I figured that it would be there. I used my phone/torch to locate what I suspected I was looking for, then just had to manipulate it to get access. Signed the log, picked up my dinner, and came back to the foreshore to eat in the fading light. Thanks for a great cache and for bringing me here

Found it when family visited the beach. TFTC

Very nice cache I love it!

A great use of this type of container. Fav point

Good hide. TFTG

Great location and hide. TFTC

Sneaky sneaky. Hardly could see it. Wife's sharp eye finely found it. TFTC

Found easily once looked in the right place. Great sue. TFTC ??

With tara_jaye great hide

Found it with jackst2000!
Cool hide!! Tftc!!

A quick find only because we work in a place that sells the camo great hide and stilk quite accessible

Quick and easy find if ya have seen these kinds before with riotgirlckb

"From Queensland to Victoria, a treasure hunter's journey leads to hidden wonders in the park. Found the elusive geocache amidst nature's embrace, making unforgettable memories along the way. Adventure awaits!"

great cache! the lots of muggles made it hard but luckily we're young so it didn't seem so weird TFTC!!!

great little hide! ????

Bit of a tricky find! TFTC

This one was a bit hard for us to find and get but we got there in the end. A very clever hiding spot for this one. Thanks for the cache!! ??

After a nearby appointment we headed down here for a look. Not too many muggles about since it is quite cold and windy this afternoon. n0w0rries quickly worked out where the cache was likely to be hidden and then I spotted something familiar looking. Keeping a close eye out for passing visitors we soon had the cache open and the log signed. Replacing it took a bit longer but we got there in the end.

Found with +Wife on our way home from Rosebud. A very sneaky hide that blends in really well. All in good order here. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache Beckgiz.

Wife found

This would be a challenge during the day. Tftc

Great hide. Thank you

Seriously good hide. Blends in very well. This was our third visit here, not because we couldn’t find it but because there were always too many muggles around to attempt a grab. Today with a very threatening sky the prize was ours.
Thanks Beckgiz for the great hide and giving it a favourite point

Great hide, my son’s favourite so far. Took us awhile to find it!

Good Friday & sooooo many muggers around but I manage to find it Thanks for this one ️

It took us a little longer than it should have, but eventually spotted something we had seen before. TFTC

Unfortunately test driving new bikes and didn’t bring pen! Photo to prove we were here!

Nice cache. Fun to find well hidden.

Found it! With assistance from other hunters!

Took a few moments and was joined by another geocacher and his child. TFTC

Found with Moonb1. We bumped into a couple of other catchers here and started searching. Fortunately it was soon found.

A bit of a rocky start but got there in the end
Found it

Had a feeling I knew what kind of hide this was going to be. After a little looking around. I was right. Thanks for placing I have come here on a glorious Saturday for a bike ride along the Trail. It is beautiful here.

That was so much fun! Still fairly new at this but we still managed to find it!

The muggles nearly threw us but got that dopamine hit!

#252

I can't believe I made it back here. I did not expect to be here again so soon. What a coincidence! As soon as parking up I remembered a DNF in the area, and pounced!

Tftc

Und 4 Jahre später nochmal. . In dieser schönen Ecke der Welt einen Cache gesucht und gefunden . DfdC

A busy hot Saturday was not the best time to be stealthy.

Hmm looked high and low with no luck.

A picnic well enjoyed by the king.

A quick find after doing the Rosebud parkrun this morning. The geo-sense had us on it immediately.

Nice place! TFTC

Found by Bob at 1745

After having placed a pizza order, I had 10mins to wait and, as my GPS was already on, I decided that was enough time to walk 200m, hopefully make a quick find and then walk back. It took me 12mins as it was a very quick find, although a rather nice hide and not likely to be spotted by someone without a bit of experience

Thanks Beckgiz

This is right across the road from where we are staying. Sussed it out yesterday and today went to grab whilst waiting for fish and chips. Great playground. The local primary school were there having a play. TFTC

Found while having a picnic lunch…. Yum and TFTC…. Good excuse to stop for a break while walking the Bay Trail

Guessed correctly what I was seeking but took a long while as lots of stationary muggles about hampering my search. They eventually moved on and I was able to retrieve sign and replace quickly and unobtrusively TFTC Beckgiz

Need fine fingers. Thank you.

Funky fund thanks

A few members of iTEEM enjoyed a short long weekend on the peninsula, and while the others slept in, I headed out to find a few caches.
After being muggles out yesterday, this morning not a soul to be seen, but I still couldn't find it.
Send a PAF message and moved on to find some others. With a hint received, I returned to find the cleverly disguised hide where I'd previously (not thoroughly) looked .
Nicely done, Beckgiz TFTC

Great playground! And luck for us there wasn’t to many people around. Full of natural treasures. Thanks for the cache

I forgot to log it on 6/7/2022. I found out from my personal note on way home from Sorrento ferry from Queenscliff. Thanks for placing this cache.

The kids wanted to find this one earlier in the afternoon but there were too many muggles around, decided to come back after dinner. We were back just before sunset with only 20 minutes of light left. After nearly giving up, we had one last minute check in the dark with the iphone torch leading the way and we found it. We forgot a pen so we will log another day! Thank-you for the tricky find!

We are down here for an anniversary weekend away and today the plan is find caches till it rains then either do maintenance on our own caches down here or logging if it is pouring as predicted! So far so good though! Our last one for the arvo as it was getting late. We had a bit of a look then a muggle family arrived nearish by. We discreetly kept looking around and then GMelb found the cleverly placed hide. Now to sign. I had stayed sitting at the picnic table so GMelb brought back to me to sign. We then decided we would tell the Muggle family what we were doing as we could feel them looking at us. The Parents were fascinated and then their older daughter came back from the Playground and had done geocaching before so knew what we were talking about. We gave them a geocaching.com card and there may well be some new cachers on the peninsula soon.
TFTC Beckgiz time to get dinner now! GJMMelb

Searched and searched, but it’s just not a good day for us to find this cache.

Very good spot, took a while to find. Thanks!

Something was 'out of place'. Went for an evening stroll. Quick find... quite a fluke though. TFTC

FYI: Log was pretty much full, managed to squeeze on.

Fun took us 10 minutes to find it came pretty obvious after a while
