No luck today

Ill try again another time. Im sure I know where it is, just cant spy it.

Found by caughtatwork on 07/04/2024 at 4:02:00 PMA quick find at a nice location to geocache.Took nothing, left nothing.Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.*Overall Experience: 3*GAFF1

Rated: for Overall Experience

This cache was one of those found around or on the leap day February 29th, 2024 before, during or after the Mega event in Adelaide. Many thanks to all those owners who placed caches that Swampy and I found during our trip from Hobart to the Mega and return home again.

Found

Back on the mainland, after nearly 3 months in Tassie. So nice to have avoided all the excessively hot weather.It was just starting to get light when I first made my way to this area but there were a number of muggles camped nearby and starting to move about. Returned after doing some nearby caches to find they had moved on, so gave me a great opportunity to search for this one, which was quickly spotted.Thanks RoadRunna for placing this virtual so we can do this cache.

What a fantastic day of geocaching around Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula! The weather was perfect, and the landscapes were stunning. Our group ventured through a mix of urban areas, lush parks, and coastal paths in search of hidden caches.The camaraderie among our caching crew made the day even more enjoyable, with plenty of laughs and shared triumphs as we uncovered each cache. As the sun began to set, we gathered to celebrate our successes and swap stories from the day's adventures.Geocaching around Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula was truly a memorable experience, and we can't wait to return for more caching adventures in the future!This is one of the caches found today. Thanks RoadRunna for the cache.

Decided to check on this one today.... replaced container and logbook

En route between events and realised I hadnt eaten lunch yet so a quick detour into the golden arches, only to realise the Chicken Big Mac was back. First win.Then a quick detour off the detour into the carpark here and made a quick find whilst scoffing my lunch before getting to the CITO. Second win!TFTC

Found it

Decided to do a little park and grab after a Bunnings trip today. Quite a few people down here in their cars but I was able to not look suspicious at all as I found this cache straight away. Purely by chance as it had fallen and was lying on top of the pine leaves. Quickly grabbed it and signed the log back in the car. When I went to hide the cache, I couldnt find a safe enough spot for it but thankfully Id picked up some geocache supplies when at Bunnings. Armed with some fishing wire Ive attached the cache in a hopefully safe spot for it. Also needs new log book so I added some paper as well. Thanks for the cache! Peace, Tara Found 3.30 pm Monday 16 October 2023. Signed log as: taralee_peace Took nothing, left paper for temporary log. Geocaches found: 34

No luck for me today. I looked for a while without success before deciding to move on to more lucrative fields.My thanks to RoadRunna for placing and maintaining it.

Dnf, I must be going blind

Great spot to visit no idea it was there. Lots of remote control sailboats out on the water.

I grabbed this very well positioned cache a couple of weeks ago when having car repaired nearby.
Did not know this lake was here and thanks for bringing me here
TFTC :)

TFTC…we were off target for a while but got there in the end

Nice quick stop off, great cache

Quick easy find after dropping the kid at work

Thankfully for the quick find on the otherside as there was someone living on the inside.

Strange the bridge is still closed but.

TFTC, nice spot cheers

Great Cache

Found this cache after going to Apple Isle Moot & Tassie on my trip home.

I’ve may have added one of my moot pathtags for the next person to find (physical locations that will fit a pathtag only)


Thanks RoadRunna for the cache

After attending a very small event at a familiar fast food purveyor nearby, T and an E of iTEEM stopped in to grab this one on the way back to work at the airport.
E's sharp eyes spotted it first and we signed under cover of the foliage with the nearby muggle in their car none the wiser.
All dry and in good condition.

After parking in the busy McDonald's carpark I strolled across the grass to this picturesque spot.
Not long after I had your cache in hand.
Thanks roadrunna..

Wasn't where I thought it would be, a need to keep moving I will return another day. Lovely spot.

Stopped past here late at night to stretch the legs and look for the cache. Probably lucky to spot it in the dark but I zeroed in relatively quickly and was soon back on the road. Thanks for the cache RoadRunna.

Nice quick find for us today! Absolutely beautiful view!!!!

Clever clever

No luck today unfortunately. Impatient geokids have given up so....we will be back

Quick find

Adelaide to Hobart Road Trip.
Day Two: Jeparit to Corio Ferry Terminal.
Weather: sensational.

Just a little bit of time left over before boarding the ferry, time enough to squeeze in one last Victorian cache on this trip.

The car park was full of punters consuming their MacDonalds purchase, but I think I successfully positioned myself to avoid detection, and most of them were on their phones anyway.

Thanks for this bin voyage cache RoadRunna, I bet you’re getting a lot of traffic on this one now.

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks RoadRunna for the cache.

took me a while as I was looking at the wrong place but eventually found and signed. Quiet, serene place save for birds chirping and the rustle of leaves. While signing log, spotted 2 mating harlequin bugs at GZ who seemed unhappy that I disturbed their private time.

After successfully putting a smiley on this cache, i headed off to the nearby maccas for breakfast! iced chai latte was diluted but their hot chocolate and breakfast muffins are delicious. this marks my very first cache on the mainland. t4tc!

Found with thomo31. TFTC

Found while caching with teamashy. Arrived in Geelong this arvo and headed for a coffee and a cache. While waiting for a muggle to leave, met up with a couple of cachers from NZ. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

In Melbourne to attend the Mega at Whittlesea with tmann421.
Enjoyed the short trip around locating a few caches before heading to the event
Log signed tm/ww NZ
Thanks to the cache owners for the efforts with the hides

We have arrived in Melbourne to attend the MEGA Event at Whittlesea, so of course we came over a few days before to do some geocaching first!
woolwood9 and I had a good time and this was a cache we located.
Nice to be joined by some local geocachers here - very nice to meet you!

*Thank you for helping to show us around different areas and adding to our enjoyment*

Quick find while out in this windy day
Tftc

A pretty spot for a break.
I often do deliveries nearby and figured it was about time I stopped by here.
A surprisingly quick find before heading to the next cache.

Found by Mary and David at at 17:00. Don't know this area at all. Our last for the day. Lovely water views and plenty of seagulls. Our thanks to RoadRunna.

Thanks RoadRunna for this cache in a very pretty spot. After a couple of DNFs today, it was great to achieve a smiley face

12:20
Heading home after attending the Point Lillias CITO, we called by as we noticed the familiar name of the CO.
It is great to see "RoadRunna" on the map after a break. A nice quick find here before the rain today.

Thanks to RoadRunna for placing caches for folk to find.

We were heading back to home after being in Melbourne running a few errands and we wanted to pick up a cache. With the horrible weather forecast it is wise to grab caches when the weather is more clement.

We pulled up to the car park and were about to jump out to search for the cache and a couple of muggles in mugglewagons pulled in and seemed likely to set up camp.

We are patient, so we waited them out and after about ten minutes the carpark was barren.

So out we hopped out and made a speedy find.

The cache is in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache RoadRunna.

Nice little find!

Marshall's Geelong found this cache today,
Manage to time this one just right so the muggles wouldn't spot us. After grabbing lunch from the burger place across the road we thought this would be a nice place to sit and watch the birds!
TFTC!

Nice easy find

*The "Got My Butt On A Bike 'Cos I Couldn't Stand Being In My House Any Longer" Adventure #2*
I'm out for an afternoon of exercise and caches. Most of my visits today are looking for the info required to kick off a puzzle or multi.
This was the first find of the day, ironically in a spot I visit mildly regularly. Well... not exactly here at GZ. More like waist-deep in the water, pulling rubbish out of the lake. Looking around, the area would be an easy candidate for a CITO.
Thanks heaps, RoadRunna!

Thought we would pop in here as we were passing on our way home and grab this cache.
Was certainly a quick park and grab.
We couldn’t see any views as it was pitch dark at 7.20 PM.
TFTC It was nice to break up our journey.

I made such hard work of this one.

Fortunatly I parked well to block the muggles.

Had an idea on what I expected to find.

round and round I went.

Eventually I did in a spot I had not looked.

TFTC

Never been here before.
Thanks for bring me here & cache

Found on a brisk morning. Nice quick park and find. TFTC

We took a moment and we signed log.
Thanks RoadRunna for the placement.

A nice park behind a burger shop - a detour on the way to work. tftc

It was very blowy today but that meant that four little sailors could sail their tiny boats on the lake. The cache was an easy find, thanks RoadRunna.

With some time to spare before a get together we made a detour this way. Good coords took us right to the cache for a speedy find with some seagulls looking on. TFTC.

Set off after lunch to make the most of the weekend.
Made my way to Eynesbury to grab a handful of caches which turned into a leisurely loop walk.
Then to southern Melton.
The weather held off making it a perfect caching day.
It only took a moment to locate the hide. Great to see your return RoadRunna
Log signed and replaced as found.
Cache is in good condition.

Thanks for the Traditional cache RoadRunna

Out shopping with Mum. Always good do have a Trad we can pick on the way to fill a spot on the calendar. Nice and quiet here. Looked one place but didn't see it, then looked again and there it was! Tftc.

Nice Find
TFTC RoadRunna

A nice quick find, stopped to watch the ducks for a little bit. Thanks for the cache

Had a call fro my great caching friends the suscoe's who suggested that they call by and pick me up to tidy a few unfound caches that remain unfound, well you cannot knock back an offer like that so today at 1.30pm the car pulled up and we were off on our little adventure.
Last find for today as it was on our way home and being still unfound for us we just had to call into the carpark and have a look.
Thankfully a quick find, signed the log and home for a couple of wines before dinner.
Thanks RoadRunner for placing.

Suscoe and Bushfire headed out for a pleasant afternoon of caching.
We decided that a trip out through Lara to the You Yangs and back again via a wander would be great.
It was a mild Autumn afternoon.

Thanks to Roadrunna for this hide.
We were on the way home and had time for this hide.
All quiet here when we arrived.
Bushfire swooped on this hide.

Time to head home.

I wasn’t as keen as others to get off the comfy couch when this one was published last night. Keen enough to have a look the next day though. Thanks

Joint [FTF] with Donutholes

I was home resting after a day out caching with mates when the phone went bing with a first to find under 10 kms from home. I really didn't feel much like going out but what sort of first to find hunter would I be if I passed on one so close. I through some shoes on and I was out the door in a flash I new the area so I made my way to the car park pretty quickly where I was joined by Donutholes.
The first place I look I spotted my prize and we were able to sign the blank logbook

Thank you RoadRunna for the cache

I get excited when an email comes through telling me there is a cache close by. Very happy that this one is close to both Sims_family and myself so it made sense to team up and collect the smiley face.

Log signed as a joint [FTF] and replaced where it was found. Now it's time to make my way Melbourne to catch a show at the comedy festival.

Thanks you
