To hard to maintain

Saw the previous DNF and was about to give up but thought I'd try a little harder. Glad I did because soon found it.
Thanks Emilia

It’s no where to be found. Am on top of the site.

Yeah ok - Found after getting the hint. Thanks

Excellent camo!!!
Took a bit but MrRiddell spotted it.

Quick find by Emily.

Found by Omegaman1971

With a unexpected change in plans for today, I contacted Rebel Acts to see if he was available for some short notice caching enjoyment.

The day was long but certainly filled with much laughter and caching stories.

Cheers for the cache

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles. Today we had unfinished business back in Williamstown and Altona.

This is one of the caches found today. Took a little bit of scratching around to locate this one.

Thanks Em1croc for the cache.

I assume the hint is alluding to bark, but there’s lots of it in the area. Not much to go off otherwise, and there’s currently lots of rubbish in the area which makes things harder

A nice quick waterfront hide.

Didn’t see anything title-related, but found the cache anyway!

It was such a glorious day that I decided to take a 'Willy diversion' while on the way home and that brought this one into consideration. Although GZ wasn't too muggly, there were enough people enjoying the sunshine nearby so I had a squiz at the hint and that soon had me signing the log at 12:25. Nice camo.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Emilia.

13:25
We always enjoy a day by the water and today was no different. Searching here was like a breath of fresh air after the challenge of the pier! As often happens we searched "everywhere" and went back to where we started to find a very clever little cache.

Thanks to Em1croc for adding this interesting cache to the gameboard.

Wow this took us longer than we expected. Nearly gave up but one last sweep and it showed it’s face!
Thanks for the hunt!

Nicely camouflaged. Well done.

A bit dusty

Found but no pen
Need to bring your own

Broooo, that scared me so much

Found after about 5 mins. Made friends with the snails, made enemy's with others. Got jumpscared by the toy in the cache lol

Found!

With the publication of some new Whittlesea challenge caches I now have to find a lot of different things on certain days so I headed over here and met up with Fleabag since he was in the area anyway.
I was glad I had me geokid with me today because they found it quite quickly while I was looking in all the wrong places. The rain and wind then started again so we decided to head back home.
Thanks Em1croc for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

This could have been a bit of a nightmare given a sunny day. Thankfully there was nary a muggle about as the wind blew and rain kept coming down which made finding the cache all the quicker.

Easy Find during my first visit to Williamstown. TFTC

Found with lozzie88

Found it with premedbeast. Tftc

Found it good camo

No luck with this one

Turned this one up after a DNF earlier in the year. Those cool water swimmers doing their thing across the way. TFTC

Nice camo

Too peoply today. Looks sus

Very well camoed have found a few times

Checked it its all in place and ready to be found! Going to maintenance it soon

Bunch of dudes chopping down trees and planting new ones. Might want to do a maintenance check. They have blocked a whole section of trees off. I’m gonna come back.

Thank you for letting me know, I’ll have to have a look when I get back home. May still be there but will disable till I can have a look

Quick and easy

Found it, thanks!

Love it great hiding spot easy and fun

I found this cache on my Newport by Train and Bus Geocaching Day. With 20 minutes between trains to Williamstown from Williamstown Beach, I was hoping that I had enough time to locate the Lab cache there, walk down for this cache and get back to catch the next one. It took 21 minutes and I saw the train go past as I was getting back so I decided that rather than wait another 20 minutes, I would call it a day and hop on the train towards home instead. Thanks from D B-A.

Kicked it and found it lol

Got to GZ and had to avoid the muggles, Fortunately the cache was not to hard to find.

Great camo probably took longer than it should

With a day off today, I went right from one end of the green line to the other with a caching trip in Williamstown I'd been thinking about for a long time but never actually acted upon until today.
The weather was downright miserable the entire time and I seemed determined to wreck my already pretty beaten shoes with all the walking through surfaces of varying consistencies!
Still, the intermittent rain did a good job of scaring away the muggles and I managed to get some caches I suspect would've been significantly more difficult on a nice day.

This was my first find of the day after alighting at Williamstown Beach station and squelching through the park over to gz.
I was lucky to not have too many muggles around, and none particularly close to where I was searching.
Also fortunate was the fact that I spotted the cache rather quickly!
It wasn't quite flush in its hiding spot which revealed the container a bit more than intended, though the camo job is pretty nice and I made sure to return it more neatly.
I decided to celebrate my success with a hot chocolate over at the nearby cafe where it seems all of the muggles had escaped to!

Thanks to Em1croc for placing this one here!

DONT GIVE UP

So hard but loved every second of it

Out and about today to attend a couple of events and pick up some caches on International Geocaching Day

Thanks Emilia. No swimming today

Very small

Very smart Camo fun find. Not too hard but took some walking around

Yay

Awesome

Found it

Just fixing the container, gonna put back soon

All fixed and ready to be found

nice geocache it was pretty easy to find though

Great cache - thank you. Kids enjoyed the park too

Very helpful hint!

A crafty little hide TTC Emilia

Thanks to Emilia for this hide.
All quiet here today and we spotted the hide soon after arriving.
The log was signed in the sunshine.
What a wonderful day.

Visited friends in Willy today and went for a walk in the drizzle to take in the offseason sights - footy and lacrosse and young people listening to Radiohead in a picnic shelter. When our water resistant coats stopped resisting the water we headed home, but not before making a quick find here. Thanks Emilia for the nice camo here

cute letter keep up the good work

??

Easy find! TFTC!

Disabling it until I can fix the camouflage on the container

Also some-one had buried it, so please make sure to not bury it as it is against the rules.

Container it all ready and has been put back. Happy hunting

Swapped origami for another origami

Great find definitely recommend for small kids and family

found it eventually, great hiding!

Nice and quick. easy dig. TFTC

Jeremy was really happy to find it. Thanks and happy hubting!

A quick find in the logical place for this geocache and stroll this afternoon.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today.

I had to work today and after finishing our first job we found out that the arvo shift was working so an early day for me.
So what do you do on a cold and miserable Melbourne day Geocaching of course.
So after finishing of the new ones in Altona it was time to find a few in Williamstown that have recently appeared.
You look at your map and just when you think you have done most of the caches a few new one turn up.
I had to wait out a few muggles that were playing right near GZ and then I soon spotted the camo and added my name to the log.

Thanks Emilia TFTC.

Big things are continuing to happen! Are you joining the fun again in 2022?

Great hide!

Easy spot, great location. Loved it

New container ready to be found! Slight adjustment by about 30 cm

Looks like this one has gone missing, pretty sure someone threw it away while cutting the hedges. making a new container now.

Found by Mary and David at 16:05. Ages since we have been around here. Enjoyed the spot. The shrubs are being impacted though. Our thanks to Emilia_rossiiiii.

Nothing jumping out at me, more like me diving in, with no return.

Great fun this. Found it. Well mum did

Yay

As I approached the indicated area I didn’t like my chances, but a bit of light frisking and I hit it, thankfully. One feels quite exposed there. T4TC

The cache is still there just went to check on it! The cache is camouflage so look hard

We looked and looked, nothing for us to find here - another cacher even turned up and he couldn't find anything. The area is also getting a little worn, not sure about this one - hopefully the garden bed holds up. I'll be back when I'm sure it's here.

Awesome cash! Amazing spot, good hide. Nice view.

So clever. Great cache

I was around the Newport/ Williamstown area doing some adventure labs and I noticed that this new cache had popped up. It could not be left unfound. Great spot for a cache.

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 277.0 feet or 84.4 meters.

I'm moving it to a better place because I think it will get muggled and it needs some rain protection.

I’m disabling this one until I can fix the container. I might move the coordinates to

I have fixed the container and it should be good to go!

Ye

Well looks like we weren't too far behind FTF (not that we were aiming for it though!) Injured myself on Sunday so we have been cooped up and decided to go somewhere close. Just so happens this area is the closest to us with a few caches we have yet to get. But curious as to why we hadn't gotten this one when we were so close by before I saw the date published, then the date of the FTF which made Mr H a little sad! Either way it was a quick find but well hidden cache!

I was surprised to see that this cache hadn't been found when I came back from Beechworth.
Not really a day for swimming although there was one doing laps way out.
It is a busy spot, so I went down early in the morning, before the mini-muggles occupied the playground.
There were still quite a few coffee drinking walkers around, so I took a while before I could have a search.
The camo is starting to fall off a bit so it might need some more attention.

Thanks, Robmc.
