*Found on the 16 Nov 2024 @ 11:02am.**Cache find # 16051.* While in the area, I decided to find a few more caches before the day really heated up, so I headed over to this one next.After a short stroll I had arrived at GZ, I was pretty much able to put my hand on the cache straight away, the log was signed, the cache replaced as found and I headed back to the car to see what was next.**Thanks to fisherfamfive for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

Here we are on one of those dastardly triple threat days- 2 Finds- Non Traditional- Streak DayThought not that hard in the grand scheme of things, the motivation after a long day at work can be hard at times. Finish work and the weather looking a little worse for wear, I decided to drive a little bit further out to see if I can find an opening in the rain..... to which I did..... a little bit!After completing a nearby multi I was eager to quickly grab a trad before heading home, and this made itself the perfect candidate. Quickly spotting the little cache I was in and out before anyone knew it. Thanks for the cache and the little walk.
Blends in very nicely.I thought I found it straight away but turns out my first suspicions had me thinking far too grand.A good circle around and a keen eye should find this one
Parked 80m from this and headed off gung ho. Then checked the GPS and was now 120m from GZ. So a lap of the pavillion and finally at the correct spot for a simple find.Thanks to fisherfamfive for the fun and the adventure.
My last job for the day was nearby, so I took the opportunity to search out a few caches before heading home. There were some lads playing tennis when I arrived, but they were so engrossed in their match (including victory exclamations after each point that make the Haka look tame) to notice me at GZ . The cache was in good condition, but there was an empty Ziploc bag next to the cache. I placed the log sheet in the bag prior to resetting the cache with its natural camo. TFTC fisherfamfive
Luckily this location was free of muggles, making it a quick easy find. TFTC fisherfamfive
Checked up on this one today after a message from a previous finder, have removed the original container that was thought to have gone walk-about, the replacement is still in good condition ready for the next finder!
Needs attention! Found in the middle of the grass with a broken lid.
It was nice to discover this facility, will definitely return with the kids and some balls. TFTC

After finding your multi not too far away I decided to stop by and collect this trad on my home. Thanks.
I'm trying to fill in my calendar and am getting very close (still need Feb 29.... Next year!).
I was at home all cosy when I realised I needed today's date, oh no!
I spent a bit of time trying to find a cache that looked easy enough to do on my own late at night and this one fit the bill.
It was a quick find as it was out in the open sprawled with the log book nearby. The lid of the container is cracked and it's in need of some love as even with Camo on top it's not likely to be waterproof.
Thanks for the cache though, it's a nice little spot!

Another day of the GCHQ 28 day streak, another log signed. Thanks fisherfamfive.
YAPIDKA! No games happening here today although someone over yonder likely wondered why I was lurking in the hood. Glad to be out and about in Melbs while the sun shines. TFTC and the FUN!
Found broken container and logbook on the ground 2m from GZ, signed and replaced where we thought it should have been. Found a second container so signed that log as well.

Find #13998
Lots of muggles about here, but thankfully focusing on other things. The streak continues.
Massive thanks go to fisherfamfive for placing this one.

With the new [Wheel of Challenges Challenge](https://www.geocaching.com/live/campaign/wheelofchallenges) being all about getting out every day, I knew I had to get out and find at least one cache.
However, I got stuck working extremely late, so by the time I got off work the sun was long gone. So I just wanted to find a quick park and grab, so I filtered my search for near by PnGs and that is how I came across this one.
Well this one looked interesting, and as as one of the closer caches to home, I thought it would be a great one to try and get tonight.
So after work I hopped in the geomobile and headed off towards the [recommended parking coordinates](https://www.geocaching.com/seek/wpt.aspx?WID=6903f3ef-aa8a-435a-b653-ca0cbb37c8c4&RefID=9a9fac16-9764-4ce2-b7a7-e3ec885dd461&RefDS=1).
I was surprised to see so many other vehicles parked, here especially with it being so late. However, I realised that there was some type of *game, or set or match* going on in the nearby field.
However, that meant that all the sports muggles were distracted in the nearby field and gave me plenty of time to search for this cache. It turned out to be a nice quick find once I arrived at GZ.
A big thanks goes to [fisherfamfive](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=fb812a6d-238c-46ca-9cc3-bf89fb1c6666&wid=9a9fac16-9764-4ce2-b7a7-e3ec885dd461&ds=2) for the fun tonight. TFTC.
**Cache Maintenance Status**
The cache container was in good shape and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

After getting SideTracked, then REALLY SideTracked, n0w0rries and I built up an appetite looking for a couple of Cache of the Year nominees in Rowville.
And then, on our way to Ferntree Gully and beyond, this park and another rapid find, made all the easier by being out in the open to be spotted on approach.
Probably not quite so easy for the next person, with a bit of camouflage added.
Thanks, fisherfamfive.

Tennis was probably my favourite sport as a kid.
The last time I played was around 30 years ago.
There were courts on the roundabout in Notting Hill, out the front of a factory that I worked in for a short time.
I would bring my racquets and a few tennis balls and just belt them over the net.
One stinking hot day, one of my fellow workers succumbed to the temptation and joined in.
It is always much better to play against an opponent.
Your cache was spotted from afar today, sans camo.
After leaving our mark in the log, we covered it up before departing.

After coming to area to final coords of a multi, had a look what else was around and this cache popped up. Quick find in a nice park. Very nice area. TFTC
Another lunch break today and much nicer weather but the park was still deserted which was perfect. While approaching I noticed some suspicious looking camo and then I was soon signing the log.
Thanks fisherfamfive for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.
This is one of the caches found today.

We found this cache today on our Seville and Surrounds Midday Run. After completing maintenance on our cache near Monbulk, we decided to grab this one on the way back home. Nice to see this cache so early in it's life as hides like this tend to need a lot of care and replacement over their lifetime. Our second find in this park and our 244th 5TF. Thanks from D & HA B-A
I decided to drive over to this pretty young cache for my find of the day, (fourth to find is still technically ftf right?)
The rain was coming down real hard as I left the house and I had to put my wipers on the speed after fast.
I sat in the car for a few minutes waiting for the rain to calm down and then walked over for a nice quick find. Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for helping fill in the void in the map that is Lysterfield.
Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the logbook nice and dry.

Bogged down with MBA studies, I was surprised to get the {FTF} as I did not see the alert on my phone until forty minutes. With no log present, I shifted from the desk and into the car for a short drive to what is a newly developed park I hadn't visited before. Being involved in local footy I suspect it won't be long before I am back again in a much busier setting. There was only one solitary muggle about jogging laps. The cache was quickly located in the first place I looked. Dropped a trackable for the second to find cacher. Thanks for placing this cache and making me aware of another great park in Knox. tftc
