TFTC,Travelling into Victoria to visit LGA's I have not visited and find new things to see as a tourist.Also bringing my finds on every calendar day to more than 15 for my milestone year on the 28th May 2025,Quick find by me while Nana searched another spot, visited trackables.

Wazza9 walked straight up to it. Signed log and replaced, thanks to CO

Thanks nice little reserve for the kids to run

Found after a brief search. I nearly found it straight away but didnt look hard enough! Trust your instincts!!

Quick easy find on our way to Mt BullaAfter the initial "another bloddy nano" sigh, it took longer to roll the log back up than to find tftc

Super quick find. Loved the cache! Thanks.

Quick stop on the way back from noojee. Quick find here! Another clever one!! Found with jackst2000

Another good find for the day with tara_jaye

Great hide found it straight away on my second go!

Spending the weekend uuupp this way to get away from the crappy Melbourne weather, so of course a few caches are on the cards. Nice stop. TFTC

Thought we were going crazy with this one! Took a while, but that was a very satisfying find. TFTC! All in good condition.

We were a bit worried as to whether we would find this nano. But a careful search of the area found its hiding spot. Thanks VinniClortho for giving us a reason to explore this area.

After a quick squiz elsewhere, I went a bit further and there it was

Love these nanos. TFTC quick easy find surprisingly

headed out today on a cache finding / maintenance run with biggles1024, we had a few targets that were in need of some maintenance and a few must find caches, this was an extra as we were going passed it so we just had to make a stop.
Being a nano always gives you a bit of concern as to whether you will be able to find it or not but todays nanos turned out to be pretty good.
Another one that Mark was on to it quickly, while I was looking elsewhere, another nice hide.

**Thanks to VinniClortho for placing this cache.**

A big maintenance run with a few finds thrown in for good measure with Steve. We'd been to this reserve for a previous cache so it looked familiar. Fortunately luck was with us and a quick find ensued.

**Thank-you to opted-out user for placing this geocache**

Heading homeward after a most successful day Crustyvarmint and I arrived at this little spot. Crusty quickly spied the cache, we had it signed and were back travelling homeward with smiles on our faces. TFTC

With RedcbBluebm and Pilot, we called in here as we headed for home. It didn't take too long to locate the cache and, with the log signed, we continued on our way.
Thank you VinniClortho.

Heading to Gippsland this evening, I decided to take the scenic route through an area I know well, and search out a few caches along the way.
All quiet here on this chilly day, and after a short search of likely spots, the cleverly concealed cache was in hand.
All in good condition.

A nice little spot to park and grab a cache between showers today. The log book is full.

Thank you for the cache.

I found this cache today in company of Pprass on our Mountain Meander. A second cache in this series after finding another earlier today with another clever construction. Thanks from D B-A

Found at 1:40 PM in the company of Rabbitto GAFF1.
We were expecting to be here for a while, but managed to pull out the container in the very first spot that I looked in - has to happen from time to time
Thanks to opted-out user

Nice one Plenty if room left in the log. TFT

Quick pitstop as I meander home. And well I guess it's about time I put these nano caches on my to find list. AT GZ I had the right idea but not the right location- eventually i adjusted my serch location and the well camouflaged cache was located and signed.

absolutely love this series, we’ve had so much fun finding these caches and going to new areas close to home we started the series avoiding nanos tbh haha, and now we look forward to them! brilliant design

On my way to warby just freestyling to any cache the car takes me to, also found this one in the first place l checked like it when that happens great camo again TFTC

Thanks for the challenge Vinniclortho, so far 4 found, 3 no success. My success rate is improving! Clever camo. Regards from Victourer

Joint FTF with Omegaman1971

Another weekend and another day out caching with my good mate Omegaman1971, our plans changed three time, we had planned to go down the peninsula and do the dog tails series, then it changed to the northern suburbs to do a couple of lab adventures and then I get a message just as I had fallen asleep about a new series on my old home turf, I spent most of my life growing up and living in the Upper Yarra, most of the locations had memories of my life in the valley. So plans were made for a real early start, it was -1 when I woke up in Warragul, thankfully my car lives in the garage so I did not have to scape the ice off it.

I am not a fan of Bisons let alone nanos, but some of these were creative and some I hated, despite some tuff hides we got them all and had fob doing so, even got the x-trail dirty.

This is one of the caches found today. Nice hide.

Thanks VinniClotho for the cache.

Eighth in line of this series. The CO can be a bit tricky and up there. Attention to detail was definitely required. Caching with HeliKelli and new cacher, kploz. kploz made this find. Thanks for the cache.

Some of the things I really enjoy about caching are hanging with geo buddies and finding interesting finds, but I have never been a fan of nanos.
When I saw this series published I thought what a nightmare! But VinniClortho has done a great job utilising these nanos.
Was a quicker find than the last due to the sun now up!
