Feeling comfortable driving on the left hand side of the road once more, I continued on to this cache and hid it a little bit better.Thank you TanSaf for the cache.
A quick find with icw. The cache was all too obvious, so when we had signed the log I added camouflage to the container. Tftc.
Quick find on the way past here, cache is all goodTravelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache
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 Saturn's day the nineteenth 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.

Great park, I never knew there were so many lovely areas around here. Thanks for bringing us
This was a really fun one! Missed it at first then got to it, awesome swaps. Thanks for the cache
Found at 14:49There were muggles on the ground but happily the cache is far enough away to not draw any attention.Thanks TanSaf for the cache
Out on a walk on a very hot day. Ventured into this reserve. Great views of the footy oval and Dandenong ranges in the background. Quick find
A decision was made to tackle all the caches in the vicinity, including this series, on a long evening stroll. I ended up finishing around 10.30pm having found them all except some parts of the multi and final cache of the Dog walk sniff series. I obtained the clues but couldn't quite fathom how to crack the formula while in the field, so will need to ruminate on this at home with a clearer head. I did have a solid crack at trying to deduce and search a logical vicinity for the final but no luck and it was getting too tricky by headtorch. Thanks TanSaf for a great series and I look forward to finding the bonus cache!
I needed to find a Large geocache of the 5th of the month for a challenge I am working on, and I'm running out of Large geocaches to find. Fortunately, I found one this area and thought I'd collect a few other local ones to help me towards my next big target, my 6000th find. Great hint and just far enough away from all the cricketers. Don't they know it's almost footy season?Thanks for the cache, Tan Saf.Hunter
Another nice and quick park and grab.Perhaps the hint should read: four trunks rather than branches. Its quite obvious anyrate.TFTC
Here we found the cache and a day old duckling.Off to [SOWS](http://www.sows.org.au/) we go.Caching can wait until tomorrow.Cache found with [n0w0rries](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=5b32a917-ec75-4f0f-8609-dc880f31d698) and EveTheStaffy.Duckling found with n0w0rries, while EveTheStaffy minded the [GeoPrado](https://coord.info/TB6Q3PP).[Log My Dog Tag - Eve](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TB6FD6M) paid a visit.
Back in the area with +Wife and EveTheStaffy. A short walk soon revealed the hide.Fortunately, we were out of sight of the cricketers on the field.On returning to the GeoPrado,+Wife spotted some Wattle Birds swooping a day old Muskovy duckling in front of the neighbour's house.Whilst we were trying to rescue it, the home owner arrived.She let me into her front yard and helped look for it.A call came from +Wife out the front to say it was hiding in the bushes on the outside of the fence.With the cute little Chick in a carton, we abandoned our geocaching activities and headed over to Michele at the South Oakleigh Wildlife Shelter. It is now safe in an enclosure with 5 other ducklings.
Out for a early evening caching run with Quiet1_au, our last before Christmas and probably for the year. This was first on the agenda as we had done Nos 1&2 on a previous run. Our car GPS Karen took us to a location with quick easy access to GZ so we had found and logged the cache by the time q1 arrived TFTC TanSaf - GJMMelb
Aw come on! Once again I arrived at a logical parking spot but not where there was a shortcut to GZ... Oh well I needed a little exercise 
Once again G&J had already found and loged it, so clue recorded and off we went again.
Once again G&J had already found and loged it, so clue recorded and off we went again.Found it! Second last dog sniff on our Wantirna wander park and grab extravaganza. A nice quick find at GZ. It was good the muggles stayed away to make finding the cache easy. TFTC SL
Took a walk with the Ms's relative's jaunty little dog to this recreation ground about 5 min walk away from home. Luckily we did not have to root around too long before the doc unearthed the cache. Seems like a nice place for dogs (and their owners) to socialise. TFTC!
This was another nice quick find for us today. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.
A beautiful sunny afternoon couldnt be wasted with another lazy couch session, so decided it was about time for some after-work caching. Teamed up with Geoturtle37 to seek out the new dog walk series (sans dog).I walked straight past this one as Geoturtle37 says got it.Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, TanSaf ~~
Currently trying to finish the year with a streak and so heading out daily, for a cache. Plus there are a few other caches I need for challenges. A quick post work pre dinner find here. All good at GZ.Thanks to TanSaf for the fun and the adventure.
Thanks for another in the series TanSaf, I enjoyed the short walk in the park and was pleased to find another place you can take your pawsome friends for a sniff.
Found on a rather wet Melbourne day, not a dog walking Muggle to be seen.Thanks TanSaf for the cache.
Out and about with the grandkids for a fun afternoon on school holidays. Nice easy find, picked up the clues. Thanks for the cache TanSaf
Chose a great day for a scoot around the rest of these hides today. Shame the final didnt make sense to me so going home for a think about it.
Continuing this little series, Crustyvarmint and I enjoyed discovering these little parks tucked away amongst the houses. Thanks for taking us on this journey TanSaf
This afternoon I was out with RedcbBluebm, enjoying the sunshine and planning to finish this series of caches. Of course we had Pilot my four legged friend with us, and we enjoyed our tour.With the clues noted, and the log signed, we moved on to the next stage.Thanks for this series, TanSaf.
It was a pleasant day and as I had nothing planned until later in the afternoon, I decided to head over to Knox LGA with the triple plan of... getting more caches towards this month's "hard" souvenir... working towards completing 100 Finds in the Knox LGA Challenge ... which in turn will help me complete WCW - Mighty LGA Challenge... sometimes I think I'm a little crazy!After finding the first two in this series, I decided that I would the little remaining time I had for caching to finish it off... so it was on to the next for an easy find. Thanks **TanSaf** for the cache.
The pup and I dropped eldest son to uni this morning as we are to pick him up this arvo and head straight to Ballarat. After our fridge died yesterday, the new one was to be delivered today, but I had a short time to walk the hound and find a couple of quick caches beforehand. This was the second find after walking from the previous GZ, well camouflaged in its hiding spot. I found a short pencil on the ground near GZ, so put it in the cache, signed the dry log, and collected the clue. Pippa the dog was a little weary afterwards. TFTC and the walk in another park TanSaf
With the sun out, and the school term having come to an end, Geo-Son and Geo-Dad went to the Wantirna area to complete the Dog walk sniffs series and grab a couple other caches in the area. This was the fourth find of the afternoon, a nice quick and easy find. Tftc TanSaf
Found 10:31 amOut on a solo meander thru the area working on a larger project for wander earth and along the way did this series of caches collecting the clues. Enjoyed this walk and the series that all contributes to a final mystery. Which I now need to figure out...1st found in the series.TFTC TanSaf
Brother played footy here and I’ve had a couple of losses at the tennis courts. TFTC.
Out with au.fait, we decided we had time to do this series of Dog walk sniffs.
Well hidden, a nice selection of dog parks. Thanks TanSaf.

Having a lovely day with the delightful echidna44 and this series was on our list A quick find of this neatly hidden cache as we began sniffing these caches out Collected the clue and on our way TFTC TanSar
Continuing on our sniffer dogtrail, this was an easy find. Thanks for placing this cache TanSaf
*Found on the 26 Aug 2023 @ 1:28 pm.*
*Cache find # 15012.*
On my way home from the Boronia Library event, I decided to stop off at this relatively new series and give it a go.
I arrived at GZ and started looking and I was wondering if it was still there as the top looked very dug up, it wasn't until I went to the other side that the actual hide was found.
**Thanks to TanSaf for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

After making a find at the [CO's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=8aeeaf3b-b31c-4bbf-8e7a-ce4f715d155d&wid=3191c4bc-8828-4e90-840f-d3dbd42ed995&ds=2) [Dog walk sniffs 3 (GCACBME)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCACBME?luid=c88e84d3-b46b-4e5c-af06-9e5235269625), cache I decided to continue to work on the series and head towards this one.
This one was a bit longer of a walk from [# 3](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCACBME?luid=c88e84d3-b46b-4e5c-af06-9e5235269625), so I decided to hop back into the geomobile and drive over. I was able to park the geomobile nearby and then I made the short walk over to GZ.
Once I arrived my phone quickly homed into the correct beacon, but there was so much added camouflage that I actually struggled to locate the cache. Unlike the other caches in the series this one had no muggles in sight, which was perfect for me as this one took quite a while to locate.
However, eventually I shifted enough stuff around to finally reveal the cache!
*Woo hoo!*
A big thanks goes to [TanSaf](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=8aeeaf3b-b31c-4bbf-8e7a-ce4f715d155d&wid=3191c4bc-8828-4e90-840f-d3dbd42ed995&ds=2) for the fun today. TFTC.
**Cache Maintenance Status**
The cache container was in good shape and the bonus clue was very legible. The logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Out this morning on a walk and picking up some caches! Nice quick find here once I figured out where I should be, tftc!
I do enjoy a good sniffing dog walk with my giant Geogroodle around this area, so it was very pleasing to see these caches appearing on the map.
This was the first of three we found on this day's very pleasant, if slightly damp, walk. We did start heading towards it earlier in the day, but the distraction of a tennis ball found behind the courts and then a downpour of rain put us off until later in the day. Once we got there it was a nice easy find. TFTC

Date: 17 August 2023 Time: 6:15 pmFind #14088Needed a walk tonight after work and it was a pleasant evening so I planned a bit of a loop walk including a few caches of course.Massive thanks go to TanSaf for placing this one. ??
I saw that this new Dog Sniffs series had popped up and I was keen to check it out. This was a quick and easy find while walking from park to park in Wantirna, sniffing all the way.
I found this cache today on my Northward-Ho Morning. I had trouble laying my hand on this one but had to delve a little deeper. Our 3rd find in this park and we are building up quite a range of dog treats. Thanks from D B-A

With the recent Cachemas publications and many others as well in the last couple of months my 15km from home zone had blown out from 22 to 50 so I headed out this afternoon for a few hours by myself in a bit of an eastern loop around.
I saw this one published earlier and was too far away to rush for the FTF and it turns out I was glad I didn't. No sport on today so the cache was found nicely hidden right were the hint said it would be.
Thanks TanSaf for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Thanks TanSaf for another cache placement .. i am really pleased to see new caches pop up in the area .. this one was nicely hidden and should be safe from passing muggles.
This was only just over a kilometre from home and we headed off just after details had been published. Arriving near GZ we spotted a couple already there with the cache in hand. Oh well - a second to find! We introduced ourselves and chatted for a few minutes before heading off. Thanks to TanSaf for the cache.
FTF GONE at 12.30pm
We were just about to leave for our walk when this new cache appeared in our emails around a kilometre from home. We stopped to download the new cache onto our GPS then headed out. We decided to drive as opposed to walk to see if we could get a first to find. After parking in the nearby carpark we walked to GZ and it wasn't long before Mr. Pooky made the find. We opened the cache to a blank log........ Yay!!! our very first First to Find after over 10 years of Geocaching. Fellow cachers LynJoh were not far behind. We introduced ourselves, had a bit of a chat then continued on our way. TFTC TanSaf. TNLN SL
