Very well hidden, if you cant find it think long and hard about the clue youll youll get it 
After the CITO this morning, Alansee, McLookers and I headed out for a day of caching. This was my last one for the day and was a nice quick find before heading for home.Thanks to mldka4 for the cache.
Following the nearby Cito it was time for some caching shenanigans...this was one of the caches on the hitlist that we stopped to find on this glorious spring day while many a muggle were obsessing over the football.
An early morning drive and a catch up with a good friend to do some caching around the area. The weather was perfect and we even had a little water fun to grab a couple of caches.This is one of the caches found today. This was a quick park and grab.Thanks mldka4 for the cache.
on my way to Melbourne just had to collect a couple for the Cosmic Quest. Ive never been here before so thank you for placing this one.Thanks for the cache mldka4

Working our way through some of the Victorian Caches of the Year , enjoying good company and not too bad weather. This was on our way between caches so had to grab it. The gates here are amazing!Thanks mldka4 for contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.
Out and about with Deanside today and stopped to grab thid one. Nice quick find, TFTC
FoundFinally!Took us a couple of tries, name on log now. Nice view of the ocean. Always seems to be popular with people fishing at the nearby pier. TFTC!
An early start to find the few remaining Wherigos around the You Yangs area which was surprisingly busy with dog walkers. It was a relaxing walk with the Currawongs chorus and the thunder of jets engines in the distance.I checked where I thought it would be, but was unable to locate. Had a look around and committed the the previous search and located the hide.Log signed and replaced as found.Thanks for the traditional cache midka4 #7,996
There was someone watching me at first so I had to come back around 10 minutes later when they were gone. We had just been to Melbourne for my brother's birthday. Tftc!
After trying to help a fellow cacher find this one, I drove past to check it out. Can confirm that the cache is no longer where it should be. Spoiler photo - taken today where cache should be.
We dropped by this one today and can confirm that its gone for a walk. We have replaced it and its all ready to be found.
Thanks Midka4 and LibraryMouse for your help! What teamwork, and really shows to a beginner like me that this is a terrific activity where everyone works together - which I love. Nice!!
*2024 New Years No Donuts Resolution Adventure #2*My plan was to get out and find dozens of caches. This didn't happen. Luckily, this one was nearby, so I didn't violate my resolution so early in the year.Thanks heaps for the cache!
We haven't been out to the 'palace' for a while, but today was a good time while the school holidays are on. A quick grab with no traffic around. The magnet in the lid is no longer attached by glue but otherwise the cache is in good nick. Thanks for the hide.
Found with catnap777 early in the new year, this was a nice parkngrab in a spot with very pleasant water views. 
Found quickly in good condition. [^]Thanks for the cache mldka4. 
(Sorry for our late logs.

Found quickly in good condition. [^]Thanks for the cache mldka4. (Sorry for our late logs. )Apologies for the late log mldka4, as dalerious and I totally missed logging this cache when dalerious and I found it in the new year.I never knew this area existed or how pretty it is. There are no signs from the highway alerting you to a wonderful place to visit.Well, that is the beauty of geocaching isn't it.Geocaching highlights all the awesome areas .
.Suscoe had a bit of time up our sleeves today so we decided to find a few local caches.A funny old Boxing Day with the rain, wind, drizzle and overcast skies.Thanks to midka4 for this hide.
Just confirming,The cache is in good working order ready for the next finder. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
While in the area we made the find here today. A nice logical hide in a very familiar area.Thanks mldka4 for the placement.
We have got way behind in our logging and are trying to catch up and get our caching in order.Life has been pretty hectic this year, and a lot of it has gotten in the way of efficient logging of finds.We want to thank all the Cache owners for providing an array of caches for us around our countryside and in our cities.We apologise for the generic logs. We must do this to get through the backlog.Unless otherwise specified, all the caches we found were in good order.Thank you, nldka4, for this Traditional cache.
In G town today to attend the inaugural lunch event, CITO and some targeted caches along the way. A quick find today just before the CITO. We were oblivious to the security guard nearby. When spotted a friendly wave was exchanged, cache signed and we were on our way.
TFTC! 2 December 2023 4:30:22pm 6453Thanks the for the cache. A quick stop between the twitches caches!
Once I heard the Geelong Christmas event dates had been locked in, I booked my accommodation for the 2 nights required at Little River.I headed down last night to save the longer drive this morning and also I could get a sleep in as well.I woke up to a rather damp morning but that has never put us Geocachers off before.After the Morning Tea event I got a message from my caching buddy Gemma Sistema that she was one her way down to Geelong and it was time to catch up.Life has got in the way of our caching days out together so it was great to catch up again and head out for a few laughs.Gemma drove us around today and I was supposed to navigate, so what came out of today is that Im a lousy navigator so it will back to the driving for me on our next adventures.The lunch time event has been done and dusted so now to find a few more till the next event.A very grand looking place and some of the buildings are very impressive indeed.Cache was soon located after being dropped off near GZ.Thanks mldka4 TFTC.
such a contrast! Cybergran V, Ronice88 and I made a quick stop here after introducing Cybergran V to the fun of pole caching.Thanks for your cache mldka4
14:44Before lunch, I had the honour of riding with the birthday boy, and I caught a lift to the CITO from there with Dromaniax... helping LeeLee fish a bird from a tree nearby, before stopping here for a quick find.Not sure what the security patrol nearby thought.Thanks, mldka4.#8050
Following the CITO, and my introduction to twitching, this was found in the company of a group of like minded folk.Thanks for the cache, a view of the most impressive castle, and my loveable compatriots KBucky and Ronice88.
A caching day in Geelong for the Christmas festivities! Meet up with Posums who Ive missed heaps as its months and months this since we cached together. Posums had it in hand before I turned the car off! Ha ha. Thanks for an easy cache!
As we pulled up to GZ we knew exactly where to look!! As the cache was being retrieved, the school security guard was keeping a close eye on us!! Leelee giving them a wave made us look less suss :p Thanks for the hide!!
Found with teamashy while out for a drive. Geoniece retrieved the cache. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Thank you for that Sims-family. We have since replaced the cache with a brand new container and camouflage, as we can confirm that the old permanent marker was coming off. Have fun!
