Whilst based on the logs I half expected I would be murdered, this was a super cute lil find. Thanks!

Geocache of the day ! The camo deserves a favo Greetings from Belgium

Not sure what to expect, thankfully I'm not afraid of them! TFTC

What a lovely little hiding place under the tee trees!

Out and about with omegaman, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today. Had guessed what this would be.Thanks DorkyP for the cache.

1st for October. Was down here visiting and saw this cache which we had yet to not found. I saw the container and grabbed it Forgot our pen photo log TYFTC

CaptainCoop09 and I headed out today to find some local caches and this is one of the caches we found. TFTC.

Found it tyftc

Eww but thanks. HAHA.

Yay finally got to redeem myself but no odea how I missed that! EEK! NOT my favourite thing to have to touch as this is my childhood phobia. Even though I know its not real, still had to flip it with a pen to turn it over so I could get to the log. Managed, phew! So glad to have finally found it! TFTC

Found this neat little cache on my second visit to this location. I wasnt being hurried by others today, so I found it within seconds . I almost sat on it! Very tricky and in beautiful condition.

Was a bit hesitant at first. Now I understand Eeeek! Geo dog unperturbed.

Had some lunch with CJDenno at a local burger shop and we felt like finding a cache, as we hadnt for a couple months. This was the closest to where we were so we park nearby, and begin our hunt for the cache. We found it after a few minutes and then we headed off.I visited 4 TBTFTC

Found with PrezDough soon after devouring a delicious burger from a local burger joint.We decided to go for a quick hunt and walk off the meal.Initially tried to enter from an incorrect side, but soon found a better way in.The hunt didnt take too long as we had our spidey-senses on and the cache was soon in our hot little hands.Thanks for the cache. We had fun.All is good with this one and returned back to its hidey hole.I visited 3 TB.

hadn't loaded it into my GPS but was able to use the mark key and ... hmmmm not sure how much scratching around to do.....as I visit Mt Eliza a fair bit another day another go.

Find 3295In MtEliza today and this was close by.Parked close to GZ and commenced the hunt.It wasn't too long before it was spotted.Log signed and back safe again.Thanks DorkyP

Found it TFTC

I'm briefly back in town this weekend and decided to take the opportunity today to head out with a friend and clean up some of the local additions that have been made to the map while I've been gone!Parked pretty close for this one but it was a while until the GPS signal landed on any one location for gz!Once I was there, an extensive hunt took place until something sufficiently spooky was spotted after a couple of minutes.Everything's in fine condition here and my name was added to the log!Thanks to DorkyP for this hide!

Tool a bit to find this sneaky little cache

DNF

Checked in on cache due to recent DNFs. All good, though there is lots of mozzies around, be careful!

I gave myself half an hour to find it and nearly had to give up when I thought Id try one more time in the same location that I looked at before. Its a very appropriate cache considering I needed to clear the way with my head as I got to the hiding place. Im glad I kept pushing to find this one TFTC.

Had a good look around but could not see it. Tried to follow hint in a previous log but still no luck. Did find what looked suspiciously like a wad of toilet paper in there - hopefully just wind blown and not actually used in situ.Hmmm. Hate to admit defeat but DNF it is for today. Shame as this is one of my missing hidden month caches closer to home. Ah well, will have to try another day.

Coordinates changed from:S 38 11.041 E 145 5.200Coordinates changed to:S 38 11.042 E 145 5.199Distance from original: 7.7 feet or 2.3 meters.Moving this a fraction to hopefully get it away from whatever overly curious creature keeps unhiding it.

And away we go!

Looks like this one might have creeped away... Disabled until I check on it and figure out what to do.

Where is it?

Thanks creepy...

Took a little bit but not very difficultDont be afraid to get low

Checked in on it, nice and dry and in the perfect spot ready to be found.

Took us quite a bit of searching to find this spooky cacheTFTC

After a bit of scratching. Found it. I think I might have scratched it out from hiding. Gus has put back into hiding. Great little container

After a bit of scratching around we finally came across it

This was my last find for the day and I definitely knew what I'd be looking for but when I got to GZ I wasn't quite so confident! That is a LOT of places this little guy could hide!! So I just started checking as close to GZ as possible when I noticed something lying on the ground not far from the place I was searching and yep there he is! Not quite the way I like to find a cache but oh well so I signed the log then where to rehide the cache? So I tried to hide it in a little spot at GZ but I would probably suggest that the CO come out and check on it to make sure it's in the right spot. TFTC!

Thanks for the sneaky hide. Not sure I wouldve been able to find it in the dark. Havent seen one of these before, well done.

I was fortunate to get a carpark very close to GZ. Id love to say it was a quick park and grab but I looked in all the wrong places first . .. then suddenly there it was!!! A great little construction DorkyP .. it had me going for a moment.. a favourite point given

The kids and I decided to look for one last cache after an afternoon on the hunt. Great new hide and had the kids spooked TFTC

Another Friday, so what is in the books for the Buhfuhguh, well a work lunch at the pub. So what to do beforehand.... may as well pick up a cache for the streak. Arriving I noticed there was some people standing around the cache. Not seeing their faces, I thought I would wait in the car and see if they move on, well they didn't..... so I thought I would go and sneak past... low and behold it was TigerDave.After a quick search the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

We were banking on a quick find. We were wrong. Our GPS had us a little bit out of position which made it even trickier.We had to come back a second time with a bit of a hint from someone in the know. Thanks DorkyP for placing this tricky hide.Chiefton!!!

Found it , our first look, we came out empty handed. Went back for another look and there was someone else in there looking. Once again we had met up with Buhfuhguh. So we started to search together and quickly he turned to us and said found it. I'm glad he did that little sneaky fellow would've had us looking for ages. We both signed the log and returned it to the hiding spot. Tftc

First to Find:A very nice first hide. Took me longer than I expected in the dark. With the benefit of hindsight I probably should have coke during the daybut a novel twist!
