TFTC!

Tftc! I dropped off a travel bug I also walked around and looked at the flowers

Heading out to catch up for a puzzle evening and were a little early so stopped and found a smiley on the way. Found with no problems and thankfully, no flies. Thanks for the placing of this cache.

That Was a surprise

Found with icw. A quick find after a pleasant walk through the RE Gray Reserve. Tftc and the content didn't offend us

Found withanother great team effort. TFTC

Hmmm an appealing sounding cache......a box of flys hidden by a bag of Fleas......couldn't resist and not at all offended. Glad no insects were harmed in the making of the cache. TFTC

Found it!!

TB missing from cache

Couldn't find it this time unfortunately

Even though I knew what was going to be in the cache I still panicked when I started to open it because my first thought was AAAAAH spiders and I hate spiders

Not exactly scenic down here! In marvellous Melbs for a few days again and was passing by..so why not stop. Not sure if 'inside is supposed to be outside but a smile on the dial ensued.TFTC and the FUN1

Found it! Trackable looks to have been removed from the box unfortunately. Tftc

There goes my dinner appetite. Cool cache, loved it! Thanks Fleabag, you have a wicked sense of humour.

Knew what I was gonna find, but it still looked a little too real. Thanks for the quick find and now off to work.

TYFTC Quick and easy find.

Found OK.

I found a nun squating hear with rosemary beads lol

Nice hide. Tftc

I have been trying to find more D2.0/T2.0 caches in order to work on qualifying for [Dromaniax's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=d0b21b2e-6d61-423e-839d-4cc4f7fe7ab1&wid=f64bc8da-f1c9-4c56-b78b-fc2b2ce2874e&ds=2) [Richie Benaud 2/2 D/T All-Rounder Challenge Cache (GC9QG0K)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9QG0K), so today I decided to try and target a couple of D2.0/T2.0 caches.

This one was my first stop of the day. I had never actually heard of The Oddball Couple tv show, so I found it a bit insightful and interesting to see where your caching name was derived from. I always love hearing people's caching origin stories.

Once I arrived at GZ I ended up being in the right spot just on the wrong side. I had a quick search around, but couldn't find the cache, so I then when to the other side where I spotted the telltale sign of a cache.

It was then a quick search before the cache was in hand and the logbook was sign. I got a great little chuckle at the cache container. I always love when a cache container matches the overall theme of the cache.

A big thanks goes to [Fleabag-](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=c9dfdc5b-6e49-4f94-ba88-a2281f1e9c71&wid=90e727d3-fc57-4c87-bfc8-0d85c73dff75&ds=2) for the fun and interesting cache. TFTC.

**Cache Maintenance Status**

The cache container was in good shape and the diorama look great (or terrible lol, whichever is means looked realistic). The plastic bag is a bit torn, but the logbook was still clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Cache quickly in hand after having Macca’s nearby. After reading the description, we decided to eat first before attempting this cache. TFTC Fleabag-!

If I was Irish I might say I found it in the third place I looked. But I’m not so I won’t
TFTC

Nice little find

Found

A quick find with 8 year old Geograndson who was particularly taken with the diorama. He wanted to take it home to show Grandma. A photo had to suffice. Added a couple of swaps. TFTC Fleabag

TFTC squishy

Tftc

Baggie is torn, pad a little damp, but still useable

A nice easy find tftc

Stopped in today for our daily cache hit. Gratefully it was a speedy find exactly where I thought it would be and I could get back to the day with the things I “should” be doing rather than doing the things I want to be doing! Thanks Fleabag-

Find #14004

Stopped in on my lunch break and was thankfully a nice quick find.

Massive thanks go to Fleabag- for placing this one.

We found this cache today on our short Nunawading to Heatherdale Tour. A quick park and grab here and a nice bit of work that has gone into constructing the cache. Our second find in this park, having found "Pathway through Suburbia" nearby in 2014. Thanks from D & HA B-A

Heading for a Maker Magic event nearby today, I hit the road early to find a few caches beforehand.
My GPS was a little laggy initially, but once it caught up, the neatly concealed hide was spotted.
The well executed contents are quite amusing.
All in good dry condition.
TFTC Fleabag-

Thanks for this very unique cache.
Out with TanSaf after the Maker Magic event this morning, and still working on trying to find 20 caches in each LGA, I try to get a few more each visit. Glad to add this one to the tally.
A favourite point for the crazy cache.

Found with Cybergran V after the Msker Magic event today. I am a true dog lover - have two of my own. Deal with droppings as needed when out with them. Not so sure about contents of this cache - certainly creative and different. TFTC

Over dinner another geocacher highly recommended this cache and I put it on my list to find when working out this way.

My last meeting today was cancelled and I set off before the sun set to try locate this cache. The cache was quickly located and I had a chuckle as the CO messaged me at the exact moment that I opened the cache! Perhaps he has incredible intuition just like flies an sense a ...

A favourite for creativity and I guess sense of humour.

Thanks fleabag- and I look forward to finding your other caches. Hopefully of a different theme next time.

Pilot, the K9 sleuth, and I went out hunting today.
This was the first find for the day and it wasn't exactly what we were looking for, but we made a quick discovery. All in good condition.
Thanks Fleabag.

Fun. Nice flys: David

Nice, easy find. Cool container. All in good condition. TFTC

No flies or fleas. Luckily. Just a nice sized cache! Dry too.

Found out and about on the 2023 trip for the Rutherglen Mega. Thanks to Fleabag- and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Here we are again dropping off my oldest to her VSL class in Box Hill. With my middle geo kid in tow, we set off for some caching for the next 3 hours. Thankfully the weather is good today.

We parked the car quite close and made a short walk to GZ which was thankfully dry. Geo kid was onto this one quickly and she thought the contents were funny. I didn't find them offensive. Beats a boring bison to nano any day.

Not in cache TB - Travel Bug Dog Tag 2 (wrote a note on the TB page)

We took TB - Geocaching Holiday SD Ornament

Thank you for the cache here Fleabag-

A quick park and find - the hint wasn’t kidding! Tftc

Found it with a mate at just before sunset! Very interesting! TFTC!

Wow wasn’t expecting it that long to find but wow

Thx fleabag

Very creative didnt take to long

Found it. Thank you for placing it

Haha, little gross; fortunately, no issue with a log. Thanks, Fleabag- for placing the cache.

Was looking for a good cache to drop some TB's and this will do.

Thanks for the hide and a good parking spot.

Funny cache! A bit of a clamber to get to it, but a quick find in the end. TFTC!

Quick find, still dry. Tftc!

I had an appointment in Mitcham this morning... and after that was dispensed with I decided to look out a cache or two. This one attracted my attention due to it's size... I need to find a heap more Regular caches to qualify for a couple of challenges and so I do take the opportunity when I can.

When I arrived and checked my GPS, I found that I had almost parked on top of the cache. With nothing immediately obvious, it needed a little wandering around to get the correct perspective to see a likely hide... and more wandering to actually check it out. I had the satisfaction of discovering that my instincts were right and had located the cache.

Thanks **Fleabag-** for putting this cache here.

Very different this one but I LUV it ️Thanks for this one

This was a quick find today, GZ was surprisingly dry and the cache was soon in hand. I appreciate the work that went into this one ..very effective .. LOL .. thanks Fleabag for placing the cache.

Nice find but maybe not so nice decoration.

Gross , cool… ew
Nice step to it

Finally found it and can't believe I had so much trouble finding it previously (and on more than one occasion!). Left a pen (as there was none) and 5 polished gemstones. TFTC

Nice quick find for us today!

Thanks for the cache! Made a quick find here and had a little chuckle!

When we arrived near the posted coordinates a couple of muggles and dog were passing nearby. But all quiet by the time we reached GZ. A short search uncovered the “unusual” cache. Thanks to Fleabag- for the cache.

Well, I was expecting a surface mounted dog extraction,but that’s an interesting hide you have there.
TFTC

Headed down to nunawading today to find some caches in the area.
Plenty of flies on this one . Thanks Fleabag-

Found it TFTC

Gross. But I'm glad I've seen it relatively new, in all its dioramic glory. Thanks Fleabag for the handiwork.

Despite owning the nearest geocache to this one I had never been to this location before.
After stumbling around in the dark at the wring level, nirgalagrin finally spotted the cache.
Great diorama Paul.
Keep up the good work!

18:23
Off the rails chasing SideTracked caches with n0w0rries, of course with the odd detour because Geocaching.

Hahahahaha... no false advertising there.

Nice diorama, Fleabag-

#6014

Quick find of a new one in the local area. Must've driven past here a thousand times! Thanks.

Was interesting to read about this cache so have been wanting to find it- great to see someone putting effort into this container and hide- great work my TBs paid a visit also- given this a favourite:

I dropped by on my way home from spending the day with my sister and nephew. As I followed the GPS in the darkness I soon realised I'd need to approach the cache from a different direction. Once there I shone the torch light around and settled on a likely hiding spot. What a fitting diorama for your caching name haha!
Thanks for the cache!

*Found on the 24 Apr 2022 @ 1:46 pm.*
*Cache find # 12784.*

I was slowly making my way home in a very random way picking up a few caches here and there as I went.
This one was noticed on the map so I cruised on by for a look.
I stood at GZ and looked around spotting something low that needed some investigation, once there the cache was quickly found.

**Thanks to Fleabag- for placing this cache.**

Looked for this twice earlier this week with no luck. I'm obviously missing something obvious

I was going to tackle this cache first thing this morning, but discovered I didn't really have enough time to came back later to try again. A familiar spot, the cache was found pretty quickly and the errr crafty cache name became clear!... Safe to say I hadn't seen one quite like this before and thankfully didn't come across the real thing today either! TFTC

Found 6:24 am
Enjoyed this one and the artwork. Do like the spot used and not initially where I had assumed it would be. So well done on your 1st hide. Favourite [^]

Day 656 of ...
TFTC Fleabag-

The co-ords are good.. I still needed to read the description twice! Thanks Fleabag.

I had been tipped off by a previous finder about what to expect, and after finding the cache I had a strange compulsion to use lots of hand sanitiser. Gross but fun.

Hahaha! What a cracker of a way to finish our day! We were a little spooked by the warning in the description but were pleasantly amused when we opened the cache. Great way to finish our day with echidna44. Thanks for the creative flare on this one Fleabag!

Out with pinnacle333, we were caching in the Blackburn area.
Last one for the day, WOW what a cache. We thought it was a pretty funny play on words with your caching name. Thanks Fleabag-

Thank goodness for hand sanitiser.
Found today after the compulsory DNF for a multi in Donvale. Ha.

Found By Rebel Acts

The wife and daughter have dog training at Knox on a Wednesday night so it gives me a couple of hours to grab a few caches and meet up with Omegam1971.

Not many people around at this time so we soon had the cache in hand. Well this one made me laugh, I cant call this cache S$#% or can I?

Thanks Fleabag for the cache.

Found by Omegaman1971

Out with Rebel Acts for just a few caches whilst his wife is at dog training.

Easy parking and an fun container definitely earned this cache a favourite point.

Nice arts and crafts Fleabag, great job.

Cheers for the cache.

Sometimes finding caches can be a crappy job but someone has to do it!

I didn’t realise until completing my log that this was a new hide. I arrived at GZ and began looking, noting that there appeared to be some obvious searching before me. I was sure I knew what I was expecting, but for some reason I could find the cache. It was then the lightbulb moment happened. How stupid of me! On reflection, reading the cache description might have led me to it sooner .

I soon found what I was looking for and a great hide indeed. Brought a smile to my face, surely this can only be taken in the spirit it was intended!

Thanks Fleabag- for placing this stinking gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

LOL this was fun to find and a little gross to log! Thanks Fleabag-

Friday night shopping at Tunstall Square, but not without stopping by to check out the flybox.
Suddenly all the past logs made sense! What a (not very) pleasant surprise! Loved it!
We took a path tag and dropped a brand new trackable that is hoping to visit every continent in the world.
After this we walked the length of the path and completed a loop of the area. We would not have known this was here.
Thanks fleabag- for placing new caches that are relatively close to home.

Find number 10354 at 10:10:19 am on Friday the 11 March 2022
Passing by, dropped in for a quick find.

We’re all going to Whittlesea to participate in Victoria’s next Mega!

Found at 15:10
I was stuck in traffic when this was published but I had a little time this afternoon after finding the new multi. I made the obvious error to start before realising where I needed to be.
Thanks Fleabag- for the cache. I hope it survives when it rains.

Ahaha lol… frustrating when a cache is published less than half a km from home when you’re at work!! And the retired half didn’t see the publication email! Anyway, in need of a geopup walk today we took the high road and entered from the other end of the walk, enjoying the lovely little track and found the entrance to GZ. Interesting Cache signed and returned. We then walked home via Springvale Rd.

3rd to find on 2nd day published, I'm happy with that.
Love your flybox, a favorite from me too.

Forgot to bring a change of clothes to work for my daily cache. Being in office attire, I needed a quick drive-by, and this was just up the road.
Arrived at GZ and soon realised where it was going to be. Hmmm. Not quite the drive-by I was expecting to do in heels. Anyhoo, I made my way to gz and quickly found the cache, opened it and… Ewwwww!!!…
Thanks for bringing me here today by placing this cache, Fleabag-

Found at 7:08 pm.
Since I am the other half of the oddball couple in the background photo here (I know, it's a nice suit) I had heard a rumor something was going to be published.
Well Mister Doctor didn't fool around finding this only 10 minutes after publication. Luckily I was still on a work call so when I rechecked that it had been found I didn't need to hurry any more.
Tonight with a 30 minute diversion on the way to dinner the place was deserted and the tradies Mister Doctor found where no longer an issue. So geokid and I decided where we needed to go and off we went and a short search later we soon had the nicely sized cache in hand.
Still wondering what a flybox was before opening it and then ... eeewwwwww, well now I know. A favourite from me.
Thanks Fleabag- for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

PS. Love the photo Mister Doctor has attached to his log. That's just how our geovehicle looks.

By golly you have to be quick to get a FTF now. This one is only 1.2kms from home but I was not at home. I knew the location straight away but by the time I got there it was gone already. I bit puzzled on access and then the penny dropped. I come here every year to buy our fresh Christmas tree but not to this access point. Quite a collection of flies you have there. Glad they have an attraction to keep them there. ha ha. Thanks for the cache Fleabag

It’s great when a cache is published less than 2km from home - and you happen to be at home!

What an earth is a flybox?! Is Fleabag- a keen fisherman I thought as I drove along Springvale road. I must have been distracted, because it was only as I was about to drive into the GZ parking that I realised there was a chain across the driveway! Ooops. Not so great having to quickly reverse into oncoming traffic before nipping around the corner to find a park.

A tradie was parked behind the chain - maybe doing some gardening - but once I homed in on GZ I found myself nicely out of sight.

Aha - cache quickly spotted.

Ewwww Fleabag- so that’s a flybox!!! Thanks for sharing

Nice detail, and great to discover a new park area. Fave!
