Couldn't find it in the obvious locations.

Cache was gone, just replaced it today happy caching!

No joy here today, maybe another day

Couldn't find it

A quick find in an obvious place although I found it a while back just realised I’d never logged it TFTC dunken123

DNF, two of us looked around but no luck...

DNF today found the spot where a thought it would be but wasn’t there. Looked in the surrounding area as well.

13:05
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Whilst the GZ was 7m SW of the most likely spot, we extended our searchout to 25m without succes.

Unfortunately this 1.5/2.0 didn't want to show itself to us today!

Thanks for the hunt anyway dunken123.

Found it easy

Easy school holiday find. TFTC

First cache!

Went and had a quick check on the cache while at our holiday home. It is all good and still there!
Happy caching!

Quick find

On holidays with frmen1. We like an easy start. Left a swag item. Busy road, even this time of year. TFTC

Thanks for giving us a nice easy one to start our holidays with.
It's in good condition.

I could see the cache as I was driving up to it. I have rehidden it with a bit more effort for the longevity of the game.
I have left a hand full of swag for the kids and kids at heart like me.

Thanks for the cache

Found while on a day out and about. Two snails had got in and eaten the log. Used a newer bit of paper to sign and evicted the snails. Thanks for the cache dunken123.

Found

It was off to Thirteenth Beach for an early morning walk with the geodogs Gyspy Girl, teeny Treek and Mini Michi.

We also needed to take Gypsy Girl to the Vet in Ocean Grove on the way home. We had grabbed a coffee and a cake for breakfast from our favourite Providore in Barwon Heads and still had a little time up our sleeve for a sneaky cache before the vet visit.

After narrowly avoiding being run into by a cyclist, we were able to park, and then we needed to wait a minute or two for the muggles to clear off.

Once the coast was clear (sorry for the pun), we quickly found a cache in excellent condition.

Thank you for this Traditional cache dunken123

A first to find hunt brought me to the Bellerine this morning so I took the opportunity to grab a few extra quick caches and Adventure Labs in the area with goal of trying to my overall finds close to 7000 before the up coming Mega in Rutherglen.
I was heading home chasing Golf Courses for the Courses of the Peninsula Adventure Lab when I remembered this cache being published a couple of days ago. With the coordinates being spot on now I made a super quick find.

Thank you dunken123 for the hide

Hey to you too! Tftc

Cache needed moving.

Well this was a booked to my day as I found a cache first early in the morning, Now to find one in the evening. I searched and searched for half an hour, back and forth. Rechecking and widening the search to across the road where I was able to find a $5 note hidden in the bushes, but no cache.
I was able to contact the CO who was able to check and update the coords which made finding the cache a lot easier with a blank log for a [FTF].
We’ve all had hiccups when hiding a cache. We just learn from it.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the traditional cache Dunken123
