By memorychip on 26-Jun-23. Waypoint GCAAHY5

Cache was found after a short search. Thanks for the fun. Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumulated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Sol's day the twentieth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

thank you toby this was such a clever cache. geoboyfriend and i really enjoyed finding it. goodluck on your future endeavours

With dark stormy clouds on their way, it was very quiet at the park. Your cache was well hidden and great camouflage. TFTC

TFTC! 11 August 2024 3:23:20PM 8282 thanks to memorychip for the cache!

A quick dash to this one before my girls soccer game. Muggles everywhere! Should have seen that coming it being a Saturday. Now to make the quick run back to Olympic Park. TFTC Toby. It was a goodie

GREAT camp Toby congrats sneaky tree flakes hide the cache

Your first hidden cache, my first found one.Thanks Toby. Looking forward for more. Anteroot

Very quiet here this afternoon. Just one old chap walking two little dogs. Parked about 20 metres from the cache, and found it after a short search. Nice camo!

TwoEms have to say this had us looking for a good while before we found the crafty disguise. Five years old you say, and his first hide? Toby must be one savvy geocacher and absolutely should be proud. The next question isdid we find Tobys GOAT, or is there another hiding around the corner? Thank you for the cache.

When your nickname growing up was Toby how could you not go looking for a cache by this name. Was hoping to grab a cache while driving from the city to Bundoora and after a DNF in Heidelberg it was a quick find here. Loved the camo hide, loved the cache name. Favourite point from me TFTC

Saw a shimmer of blue and had it in my hand in no time ! TFTC

Thanks for the cache Toby! That was the GOAT

Congratulations Toby on your first hide! This was so fun to find with geokadude and Hondo dog TFTC!

A nice quick park and grab on my way home from work. Thanks Toby for the hide!

Another hectic day. I was on my way this evening to get my haircut so I detoured slightly to grab this cache.The local footy teams were training on the oval but they were far enough away from the cache to cause any issue. The cache was found exactly where I would have expected, likely thanks to the previous finder replacing it after finding it on the ground. Good camo!A big thanks goes to memorychip for taking the time to add Toby's First Hide to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Nominations for the **2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards** are now open and will close on **17 April 2024**.

Thank you Toby. The cache was found on the grass, I believe this was not the original hiding spot so I have placed it where I thought the original hiding spot would be.

There used to be a TV show called' are you smarter than a 10-year old?'. Well, this geocacher cant be smarter than a 5 year old because couldnt find this one

On a day when the weather was not too hot or too cold but just right as Goldilocks would say to the 3 bears, it was 3 geocachers heading out for a day of fun. Xambo4u joined echidna44 and au.fait to tackle a slightly ambitious list Getting towards the end of the list so happy to cross this one off TFTC memorychip

Out and about with echidna44 and au.fait clearing out some to our north. Nice piece of covering here., Easy find and very easy parking compared with what we have gone through previously. Keep the good work up memorychip

Out with au.fait & xambo4u in the Heidelberg area. Great first hide Toby Thanks memorychip.

Great camo. Well done Toby!

Initially thinking it was smaller than it was meant I started looking.in the wrong place but the description quickly fixed that. Had to watch the muggles this nice night with footy training on tftc

Wonderful hide! Found it with my baby in tow in her pram but still a tricky little fun search.

Supper fun

Found at 12:36Out for a quick cache to keep my streak going. I engaged my inner 5yo and found the nicely camo'd container quickly.Thanks memorychip for the cache. A fav for the camp on this good first hide.

Traveling and geocaching. With the clear hint and the precise coordinates, the cache was quickly found. The container is well designed and the logbook is so cute! Keep going young cacher! TFTC! Greetings from China.

Wow, how many geocachers hid their first cache at five-years-old? The camouflage was so convincing a black beetle had taken up residence in it. Tftc and a fav point from me.

Found with +Wife.Thanks for the cache.

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

A classic Camo; thanks Toby. TFTC

I didn't go away for the long weekend anywhere and stayed home and stayed fairly lazy but the weather was so good today I had to head out and look for some caches.I was surprisingly the only person in the park today so it made the search easy for this nicely camo'ed cache.Thanks memorychip for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Found it pretty quickly but well camouflaged and fun overall (Logbook is almost full so you might need to write a bit small!)

Currently trying to finish the year with a streak and so heading out daily, for a cache. Plus their are a few other caches I need for challenges. Nice first hide here Toby. Great work on the cammo.Thanks to memorychip for the fun and the adventure.

Very well hidden cashe by a 5YO!!! -GeoSpy/508s

Signed TRC. Having recently moved to the area Ive been trying to find the local caches. I love the camo here!

TFTH

Almost forgot to log this one.Very well hidden.Tftc

In the area doing a mini cache run and this was the first for the day. Had to take a second look before I found it. It blends in so well. Nice first hide Toby! Loved the camo.

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.

Thanks memorychip for the cache.

Had a great day geocaching with Rebel Acts. Thanks for the adventure! Found this cache without any trouble and signed the logbook. Happy caching!

A nice warm day for a walk around the park to collect a couple of caches. Thanks for bringing me here. Lovely having the whole area to myself. I'm sure it's quite different on the weekend.

Well camouflaged! Found by Isaviv on a quiet sunny morning.

i like the effort of wrapping it in bark, very good

Found with CMDYork.
Nice quick find - TFTC

Found with yhtacmck.
Nice easy and quick find
TFTC

Popped out to find a cache on a day where I've missed filling in on my 365 grid. Excellent work on the camo Toby! Tftc

Closer to home now and stopped off for this one. Nice first hide - well disguised.
Thanks for another smiling face memorychip

I picked the absolute worst time to find the cache. 4:30pm on a Saturday afternoon just as the footy game finished and everyone was leaving. I did my best to be stealthy and found your well hidden cache. Thank you memorychip for placing and maintaining Toby's First Hide for us to find today.

Sunny lunchtime find. Great camo Toby. Great work! TFTC

Creative camouflage! Thanks Toby

A bit of time to kill before this morning’s event, so stopped here to look for this cache. What a brilliant first hide! Well done, Toby!

Thanks for bringing me here by placing this cache, memorychip
~~

Today's plan was two fold. To attend the event in Bundoora and to get more than 17 caches in the Banyule LGA to complete the 20 geocaches in the Banyule LGA. Pleased that I completed both, plus 2 other challenges too. Got a new Tree climb cache in a new LGA and a personal challenge of finding a Muzza Puzzle Mania geocache.

Took too long to find what should have been an easy find. Well camouflaged.
Found at 11.45 and I spotted another name dated today.

Thanks for the cache Memory Chip
Hunter

Very well done!
Another budding young cacher!
TFTC

First time we came here there were workers having lunch facing the hide so we left empty handed . Another chance to grab tonight while no one around great camouflage and easy one th and Toby

Found this cache as i was meandering about in this area. It was a nice suprise to see the camo. Nice job.

Good job Toby!!! Thank you for the tricky cache!

18:01
Nearby picking up a nearby Mystery calendar find, so why not get a bonus smiley.

A neat little cache. I love getting people's first hides.

Thanks, memorychip. And Toby.

Pretty easy cute find. I think like a 5 year old: David

Great hide Toby!

This park brings back memories of my nephew playing footy here in his younger years so Thank you Toby for bringing me back here. A well thought out hide and camouflaged cache, took a little while but found in the end. Thanks Toby again and I reckon you could fit another one in this large park.

TFTC. Clever hide, thought you had us beaten then there it was. Signed and then returned. You can have a favourite fron me.

After dropping my mum off for a medical appointment I took the opportunity to drive here and find this cache while I waited to pick her up again.
Unfortunately the grass underfoot was very wet so I didn't stay for long in the park.
Thank you Toby and memorychip for this delightful little cache.

Top marks for this homework Toby - the camo blends in well and the coords were good for me. Thanks memorychip for any help you might have given here.

Nice camoflage! This quick park and grab helped us to complete the out and about wheel of challenges -- last day! TFTC!

This was second on this afternoon's sojourn and once at GZ, it took a few moments before I finally spotted the hide at 14:00 after a couple of circuits.

TNLNSL. Thanks memorychip.

I noticed that a couple of new caches had popped up recently, and as I was heading to Northland, I decided to take a look. This is an excellent first hide, the clever camo had me tricked for a little while. Great work Toby.

A nice quick cache to start the day.
Thank-you for the hide Toby.

Well this cache popped up and after a bit of redressing Grub62 and I hurried off. As we were approaching GZ I thought that I noticed a shifty individual leaving the area. But we pulled up and got to GZ, as it was getting dark most of our search was by feel. Finally the cache was in hand and I then saw that atsmug's log was already in the book, so well done atsmug. But the equal STF goes to Grub62 and myself. Also a very big congratulations on your first hide and TFTC.

Yew!!! Congratulations Toby. The Donut crumbs can't wait to find it

This was perfect timing, the cache was published as I was driving past, a few u-turns and soon found parking on the busy street as footballers turned up for training. Headed to the likely location, and as darkness encroached, used my phone torch to find this very well camouflaged cache. Great work!
