Spring Victorian Incursion 2024.Day Four: Bayside and KingstonWeather: windy doesnt even begin to describe it, and rain too.Im taking advantage of this inclement weather to find caches along this stretch of coast which I imagine would normally be crawling with muggles.I do like a large cache. Thanks for this cache gmj3191.

Another cache done for my ausmerCoords were a bit off so I was confused but a hint telling me it was in the middle helped a lotThanks for the adventure

dalerious and I happened to find ourselves in Melbourne, and our starting mission was to sign as many Challenge caches as we could.Sometimes plans tend to go awry and we ended up concentrating on Multicaches and caches with age behind them.This multi was the third one chosen, and it was a pleasure to undertake as any of gmj3191 caches are.*dalerious and I recommend doing the Earthcache at this location as well *.The view today was spectacular.

Found with catnap777 on 15 June 2024 3:28pmA cache with an ocean view and this ones an old one .....and a BIG one. We were looking for pre 2006 caches, and need multi multis for multiple challenges, so this one ticks multiple boxes. A large 2004 multi cache in excellent condition containing a great little geocoin. Brilliant. [^] [^] TFTC gmj3191 We took "Interupting Cow" geocoin to continue its travells.

Another great day for geocaching. The walk along the coast was lovely, nothing really beats a walk in the fresh sea air. The cache was nicely hidden but quickly found despite there being several bogus geotrails. Thanks gmj3191 for the cache

A lovely day to be down by the beach caching. Continuing our efforts to get some multis in the area, the required information located and applied before heading off to locate. Found after a short search. TFTC

Found with PapaGrouch on a visit to the area.We had collected the information and calculated GZ. Made our way there then spent ages trying to find the cache, we were a little far along where the undergrowth was quite thick and had to expand our search zone until PapaGrouch spotted the cache.Luckily it wasn't too busy at GZ today and we only had to wait out muggles a few times. I had targeted this as it filled a spot in my AUSMER grid. TFTC

Found this one with SciFiRulz TFTC:)

#14,522. Our last day in Australia. Flying home this afternoon. Been over for the The Great Leap Forward Mega event on 29 Feb and had a really fun trip exploring around Adelaide and back down to Melbourne. But today was not the best of them. A heatwave has struck and the temps have been between 35 and 40 degrees. Too hot to think. Came over with geocaching buddy Infoferret and she discovered when packing this morning she had lost her purse. It was most likely lost at the beach here where we came with some friends for a paddle and a dip last evening. So drove back here and spent ages looking for it near the beach. Nothing. Did this multi as a consolation and it took ages to find the cache. I had given up but IF is like a dog with a bone and kept poking into every possible place in the shrubbery. Finally she spied it. Its between the two paths and muggles were coming past so frequently it was no fun looking at all. But great to have an older cache signed off. The rest of the day was full of DNFs with the odd find so we really did not finish on a high. Thanks anyway gmj3191.

10 March 2024 09:54 TFTC gmj3191 for placing this cache, number 13517 for me.This was a frustrating day of caching, with more DNF's and abandoned attempts than finds, and this very nearly joined that list! Calculations no problem, but the cache proved elusive, as the coordinates were a bit out for us, and a busy Sunday Morning with loads on muggles coming past impeded the search. GSEL and I were about to abandon the attempt, where I decided to check out just one more area, spotted the hint item, and it was there! A large cache is good to find, as is an older cache. Thanks for keeping this old one going.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.

Grub62 and I arrived at stage 1 and started to look for the information to find the final stage. Great views from there anyway so it was not a problem. Then to the final stage after Grub62 did the calculations and I ran them through the checker. After a short search the cache was found and Grub62 signed the logbook while I stood cockatoo. Very nice. Thanks for the entertainment and TFTC.

Yesterday bunadoorian and I went in search of a multi with a Large Cache at the end. Today while on a roll we came here to try and find another multi with a large cache container. We found the picture sign - although the picture is faded by the sun we were able to get the required bit of information. Calculations made and checked we strolled to the GZ area. I found the cache as per the hint and signed the log while bunadoorian kept lookout. TFTC, the multi puzzle and for bringing us here gmj3191.

Travelling down to Melbourne today for the Cache of the Year Awards in Hampton this evening, we picked up Chook's son LazyAde and found a handful of caches along the beach walk before heading to the event. It was a humid day but thankfully the showers held off while we cached. The flies didn't though, and we all carried our share of them on our backs.With the artwork visited, we had some numbers that took us to a nice sized cache that LazyAde was able to spot quite quickly, after we had both walked straight past it. Had a nice gap between muggles to retrieve and sign the log, and return it, covered as well as we could with what we had nearby. TFTC gmj3191.

Wow this is big for a geocache

While the daughter was sailing I went a walking. It was a lovely day with great weather and the number of muggles made the cache search a little harder. Cache clue were easily solved and was able to make the find and replace without being caughtThanks gmj3191 for the cache.Found at 2:03 pm on 17/9/2023. Find # 2692

Got confused the hint because we’re stupid but found it eventually with MushMushMoose x

Nice sized cache! Found with spakkles on a chilly night

Another quick multi on a sunny afternoon. Thanks for the hide.

Who doesn't enjoy a short and easy multi? The information for this one eluded me for a moment, but with more attention paid to the instructions, it was clear soon. As I don't trust my basic math skills, I relied on the technical arvel I keep in my pocket. Thanks for adding this one here!

Don't know how I missed th8s first time round few months back was a little exposed so hide it back in a nice spot, left TB for its next trip TFTC

No luck for us. Searched for ages.. Widened our search area and still nothing.

Fortunately it’s turned into quite a nice day. I’m enjoying grabbing a few caches while walking along the coast.
I was concerned about searching after alfetola’s log, especially as I have to go to work soon.
No such dramas for me though.
This is such a lovely area with really great views.
TFTC

Slight problem as I grabbed a handful of human poop while hunting for the cache - eeeeuuuuwwwwww. - but the cache was soon located. Tftc

There are very few large bits of wood and everything is over grown

No luck for B & C tonight, searching in the dark probably not ideal but you gotta do what you gotta do for Jasmer caches

Edit: DNF avenged thanks to PAF. Found it log to come later

After successfully completing the Hunt for Red October, B & C still had a little spare time before needing to be back in the sporting precinct to pick up F & M from the Netball. A quick scan of project-gc soon identified a couple of caches (sort of) en route which would fill empty holes in our JASMER calendar. Thats all the motivation we needed.

We arrived at WP1 completely undeterred by the dark, the wind and the cold and soon enough had our coordinates for GZ and set off. This is where things went south. We searched. We searched more. We consulted the hint. We searched more. We searched more. C's patience began to run thin but B did not want to walk away given what was at stake.

Eventually we despatched a PAF to Dromaniax and after some more searching had heard nothing so admitted defeat. We arrived back at the geomobile, jumped in, buckled up and chucked a u-turn only to get..... a reply from Dromaniax. We had driven all of 50 meters so parked again, exited the car and headed back to GZ. Turns out we misinterpreted the hint somewhat and without the info provided we would never have made a find in the dark. Even with some guidance it took a few more minutes of searching via phone torch we eventually uncovered our prize. Log stamped, everything returned as found and we are onto the next. TFTC.

With geodog Tonka on a perfect caching weather day
Driving to Melbourne from Port Lincoln to visit my son and had a few picked out on the way.
Did this multi the other day and was unable to find but with the COs help I now can turn my frown upside down
TFTC

We spent some time in Melbourne today and decided to check out some caches we particularly wanted to add to our list of smileys.

Large caches are always high on our list of wants, as there is not a massive range of them to be found.

So a couple of large Multicaches in close proximity is very attractive. This one is more so as we had not yet found a cache hidden in October 2003.

We found the required information quickly and made our calculations. We then made our way to the coordinates, and the GPS had us a little off, and we were looking on the wrong side. Once we read the hint, we changed our search perimeter and soon found the cache.

It is always exciting to find a cache that has been in the same place for almost two decades, and this one has a beautiful view to make it even better.

The cache is in excellent condition.

Thank you, gmj3191for placing this Multicache and for maintaining it for such a long time

A Favourite Point from us for such a great location.

With geodog Tonka on a perfect caching weather day
Driving to Melbourne from Port Lincoln to visit my son and had a few picked out on the way.
Worked this great multi out. Checked checksome and correct went to coords but could not find
If it’s as large as it says it’s not here.
If the CO could check and let me know if it’s there I’m only here a couple of days would love to retrieve if it is here

Checked, present.

This one completed my 2003 Jasmer. I came near dawn to beat the traffic, saw the sign, did the Grade 2 Maths calcs, checked it, and then made the walk to GZ to claim. All was good at GZ. Thanks gmj3191 for the walk and views

A few branches down from recent storms couldn’t find this one

Found it TFTC

24 November 2022 2:53 pm

After getting a nice little haircut today, and with my client postponing work for another week, left me with the rest of the day to go out and about and enjoy today's lovely weather.

With my eyes set on the general bayside area which I have clearly been unintentionally ignoring for the longest time. All in all had a brilliant day out in the sun. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure

We couldn’t have picked a better day for some caching in Bayside. I was in heaven with those views I know so well and will never tire of those cliffs, the white sand and sparkling blue water.

I’m not sure why we have never attempted this cache on our previous visits. A large container, a golden oldie and a multi, one with the lot. After admiring those views, we gathered the information and took the short stroll to GZ. For some reason, Steve had dressed in his good clothes, not his normal ’I don’t care what I look like’ old clothes, so I was sent in for the retrieval. With the log quickly signed and replaced, it was time to head off to our next target.

Thank you gmj3191 for such a great cache and your continued maintenance to keep this old timer in the game.

Found it

I had a few caches going around the bay that were on my to do list some were because they were on my Jasmer grid other were because they were on 360° from home table.
This one was on my Jasmer and is a large so it ticks two boxes on the to do list.
With a beautiful day AusFox; and I headed out to get the numbers and were soon looking for the prize. Now with this cache found I have completed everything after and including Feb 2002 so it is going to get a lot harder now to complete the Jasmer
Thank you gmj3191 for the Multi

We had a great wander along the Bay Trail between Black Rock and Sandringham on a cool windy day. We were so distracted by the wonderful caches that we did not realise how far we had traveled. Mr eventually got there once left from right was sorted

With surefoot24 very kindly offering to drive me around for the day, I was very excited to be a part of the pi day festivities in Black Rock this morning and pick up a few other caches of interest in the surrounding suburbs throughout the day.

surefoot24 had targeted this cache as it was a large, a multi and filled in a Jasmer hole for her, so some side street parking was located, a road crossed and we were on the trail in no time.
We took a short stroll to WP1 where I quickly located the values needed and had some good-looking coordinates.

Off to gz we went and, after poking around in the wrong spot for a while, I adjusted my search and spied the hide soon after.
The logbook then had both of our names added to it and we even saw the CO heading home on our way back to the car!

Thanks to gmj3191 for placing this cache and continuing to maintain it!

One of my aims today was to find both a puzzle and a multi cache. This was close to where we’d had an event, the main reason for coming up to Melbourne. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of parking nearby so The Driver dropped us off close to an entrance and drove off to do a bit of shopping while we went to Waypoint 1. A nearby piece of signage gave us the information we needed to calculate the final coordinates. As mentioned in the cache notes, a short walk led us to a well hidden cache just off the main track. We had to keep an eye out for frequent Muggles walking along the track. The cache and contents were in good condition.

Nice to find an old cache like this, I was running out of time so picked the best one to grab and this was obvious due to the date placed
Great size too, all dry in here

Thanks gmj3191 for The Artists' Bluff

A nice quick multi in such a beautiful area! The multi did not take us long to solve at all. We decided to grab this one on the way back to the car and we were not disappointed with our find! Cache was in great condition and its not often we get to find these kinds!

Great to see the artwork and view.

Decided to visit some of the older caches whilst over this side of Melbourne. Probably a place for weekday caching here, traffic is busy, parks aren't easy and it takes 20min to go 2km. However, I'm used to Geelong traffic.

People know how to live it up on this side of town, boats parked with people swimming and party music playing. Lifestyles of the rich and the famous.

Anyways, we found the cache at a great spot. Plus a decent sized ammo can too! We were all happy with this, and it was all holding hands back across the road to the car and over the Westgate again. A FP from me!

Out working on the multi month challenge. This one was a fun little multi, and who doesn’t love a large ammo can! TFTC

Great walk along the foreshore today and we backtracked to get this one after solving it on the wall from north to south. Left a Geokrety I picked up in Gippsland pre lockdown that wanted to visit the beach.

TFTC!

I'm targeting old, large, multis and this fit the bill! I had the area to myself on a cold, rainy Friday. Amazing that this ammo can has lasted here so long.

Well this one was pretty straightforward and I can say I am happy after the last log on a nearby multi that has eluded me today.
I am shocked there are so many Muggles out exercising in this bad weather.
Fortunately I found a gap between Muggles which nearly threw my neck out looking back and forth to make the grab.
I love such a find. So nice and easy to see once you are in “the zone”.
So much swag here, but that’s not for me.
I quickly scribbled my moniker and again tested out the neck muscles for the return of the cache.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 4 TB.
TFTC gmj3191.
PS - I might book I to the chiropractor, just in case....

The goose and I were heading North back towards the airport, I say towards as it's more of a vague suggestion than a actual dirrection, the goose had been this way before so had highlighted a couple of must do caches.
This however wasnt one of those but we stopped anyway!!!! who am i kidding this is just the sort of cache i'm happy to drive 100s of miles for nevermind a quick multi along the road i need to be on!
As I found the cache I was thinking this ticks all the boxes, age, size, container type and there is a view too! thanks for a great cache.

Well this Easter I wasn't planning on caching in Victoria at all, in fact myself and Goose of Gooseandegg were meant to be at the Mega in Dayboro Queensland but with the COVID outbreak and Dayboro being in a hot zone we would have had to go into 14 days of quarantine upon our return to Tasmania.
As it turned out this was lifted before we returned but it was too big a risk to take as neither of us wanted to be away from our families for that long or put them at risk.
So we spent almost a week finding rare D/Ts we needed, wonderful old caches and a few types that are in short supply in Tassie, thanks to all the COs for the hard work put into placing these caches.

Thanks for the cache.

#1931 - 4.50pm
Heymissjo and I found ourselves on a rare sortie to this part of the world as a result of chasing passed Premiers.

The weather was very warm so all the beaches around here were heavily populated today. We surprised ourselves with getting a quick and easy carpark, and the solve to calculate GZ was smoothly worked through. But that's when our luck changed. Despite feeling confident about our GZ coordinates, and searching for the best part of 20 minutes, we simply couldn't find the cache. A cache that size doesn't just disappear - it must have been muggled.

Heymissjo and I had gone through countless past logs and exhausted every possibility. We were actually leaving with a DNF when I tried a last resort location, and wouldn't you know it...
An ammo can!!
I didn't know they could be so elusive!!

Our change in fortune was only momentary however, as we were duly ambushed by muggles, both during signing AND then again on returning.

I think I'm going to need a better lookout, lol!!

Thanks so much, gjm3191. This lovely, old cache ticks off a much wanted Jasmer square for me.

#910
A cache this big should have been easy. Not sure if it was cache blindness, the gps or it’s slightly in the wrong spot as per hint.... nonetheless it was The Welder who eventually found this nice cache. All is great condition and another Jasmer square coloured in. Thanks for the cache.

Cool multi. Out caching with OSHFAM and the Billy lids, one minute I was cold, next too hot with the jumper on. Funny kind of day with rain in sight but lucky for us it held off so we could get some caches done. This was a fun one to do with great views. Thanks for the cache.

Out with Jetsons23 and 2 geo kids - SowaMLE and Snook on caching adventures around Sandrighnam/Black Rock area. A mixed bag of weather kind of day with wind, a bit of rain, a little sun and fluctuating temperature throughout the day.

Such a beautiful area here. The relevant information was gathered quickly and we sat down nearby to work out the calculations for GZ. Luckily it was just simple maths.

A stroll to GZ where the cache was found after a relatively quick search by all. It was Snook who found the cache. He was surprised how heavy it was. The cache and log was in good condition and returned safely back to its hidey spot.

The view here is spectacular.

Thank you for the cache here gmj3191

I solved this one on my walk south-east and retrieved it on my return trip. The artists trail along here is just lovely - it's nice to think of people throughout history sitting, admiring and sketching/painting this scenery here. The cache is a in a great location and quite sizable - great to see it has been here so long. TFTC

Picking up an eBay purchase nearby and went for a look for this one. GPS was being super difficult today but eventually settled down and with the help of the hint focused on the right side of the track and had the find in hand.


Thanks gmj3191 for the cache.

Wow such an amazing view! Enjoyed sitting down and calculating the coordinates. Even more wow is the size of the cache, haven’t seen one in a while as it’s mainly nanos and bison tubes. Thank you very Much!

As we can now wander up to 25km, and can have up to 2 hours of recreational activity, I'll re-enable my caches.

Melbourne is currently in a Stay At Home situation.
If you found this cache within walking distance of your home, go ahead and log it.
This is within the bounds of legitimate exercise.
If you found this cache by driving to it, you're interpreting the rules to your own benefit, and not the community's. You should not be travelling to exercise, and interpreting caching as exercise is a long stretch anyway (pun intended).

Out with kenare to conduct some business close by, and this was on our "to do" list on our way home. Great view at Wp1. Cigc. Tftc

Sean.75 and ventured down this way this morning with 2 places to stop at. The first one was the more expensive of the two, this was our other stop. After admiring the amazing view and working out what was needed we soon ventured off. Once we zeroed in on the cache our ppe was pulled out of pockets then retrieval, extraction, signing and returning took place. Picked up TB to place elsewhere. Tftc

Having a good afternoon of cacheing with the geogirlfriend and this find was on our list. Tftc

More sticking my hand into weird holes and bushes. I even grabbed a (travel) bug.

With my wife off on a marathon supporting the 4 fallen police officers, I had a few hours for geocaching before having to meet the team at the Police Memorial in the city. I chose this location as the caches in the area haven't been found in awhile and I enjoyed doing the puzzles in the area.

I just love the fact that these old pictures are here to show what the area looked like in the past and you can looks for differences.

Nice large geocache hide that I was able to find between walkers and then return in another gap between people

Thanks for the cache GMJ 3191

Re-enabled as Covid-19 restrictions are eased off.

Disabled for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis.
Although exercise is ok, beaches, parks etc are gradually being closed, and we are being asked to stay home.
The possibility to transmit the virus by surface contact exists, so why take chances?
At the end of the day, geocaching is a game, and we are dealing with a serious Public Health issue.
We need to get our priorities in order.
I believe the responsible thing is to disable all my caches, until the crisis passes.
Thanks.

Out for a walk with friends visiting from the US. Susie had brought a TB with her, given to her by a friend, the owner, back home. We left it here.

A little search at the GZ but the container was finally revealed! All good here. What a beautiful place. Thanks for placing and maintaining this container.

I AM GUR

Awesome walk, beautiful day, gorgeous cliffs. Loved this little multi. Thanks again gmj3191, for creating, hiding and maintaining yet another good one. Tftc!

Nice easy multi. Love this area. Cheers for yet another great cache. 43 today and I scoffed at the weather report saying 20% chance of rain, yet on our way to the ammo tin it started raining! Hot air and cold heavy water droplets make for a pleasant walk along the cliffs.

These cliffs are stunning. Interesting to find out more about them. Thanks again, gmj3191!

After work , I decided to head to another trusty gmj3191 cache - time fill in a calendar gap. This one has been here for a while- I see why - what a view of these glorious cliffs - the Red Bluff that changes colours. Now a quick multi. Found painting and got some coordinates- headed to these and in about 10 mins with a few false looks , found the cache in good order and well hidden. Did the signing duties and hid again.

It's pretty rare to see caches INCREASE in size! This was found by my caching companion. We were both very pleased with the size of this one! TFTC!

All sections of the Artists' Trail seem to have suffered from the passage of time, so it is encouraging to see local councils memorialising early paintings of the district. It was great to discover a regular sized cache to close to heavy pedestrian usage. Tftc.

Found with LetThemEatCache (which will be our shared caching name, once I retire this membership). Lovely winters day, so lucky to live not far from here. Wife did all the work (again) on this one, but I made the find (again). I'm sure she just brings me along to do the hard lifting! Thanks gmj3191 for another interesting hide!

Beautiful winter’s day with sunshine means skipping work for half an hour & finding a cache or two. And on International Geocaching Day, bonus!! After a brief scramble in the bushes, the cache was uncovered. Thanks gmj3191 for bringing us to this hidden trail & this cache!

A nice quick and easy multi to finish off the day.
TFTC

Did the calculations quickly and off to GZ I went. A bit of a geotrail on the other side of the fence at GZ but no cache in sight. Hmm
Back to the start to check my number. Nope same numbers. Plug them into the checker.... it say sorry incorrect.
No other numbers it could be. I go look again. Again nothing. My phone goes flat.
Back to the car feeling defeated.
Turn phone on in car and look at photos to see cache in the location I was looking so jump out of the car and go for another look. As I’m hunting around on the other side of the fence I spot it... on the opposite side of the track to the fence. I was misinterpreting the hint. Still not sure why the checker didn’t get a green tick
Cache was really exposed so I added some wood to help cover it.

Glad to have got this one, spent way to long here! Nice view though.

Had a Reely good time at this one & caught a bug!!!
Eloise @ The Plaza

The morning was a little damper than expected but didn't dampen the enthusiasm to find a few caches.
The main aim of the day was to work through the Simpson's series and do as many as possible and a few in between.
The day was warming up now so it was a great to make the most of the cool breeze while gathering the required information.
One at GZ I was surprised to see such a large cache in this location.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Multi cache gmj3191

A few people enjoying the cooler conditions for some selfies but no issues for me to get the clues. Great location. Cache found without much trouble. Thanks to gmj3191 for the placement and fun.

Love caches that have survived so long. Thanks so much for maintaining it and bringing us to this great location.

Mrs Papi was out and about in the area and this is one that she found. Great to see such an old cache still actively maintained for us to find. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

*11 Feb 2019, Found @5:20 pm, Find # 2476.*

I had started this one late last year and had trouble with one bit of information. A beautiful day to be back in the area and with only a few muggles and their two legged friends passing by I was able to search uninterrupted. Now these are the good size containers I like finding and in suburbia no less. Walking back to my car I saw a perfect opportunity to introduce a dad and his young son to geocaching, so thats exactly what I did. I love looking across to Red Bluff the colours reminds me a lot of the Ochre Pitts along the Larapinta Trail of the West MacDonnell Ranges.


**Thanks to gmj3191 for placing this cache.**

TFTC, droped of travelbug

Love this reminder and chance to imagine this generation heading down here. TFTC

Easily found although the geochecker insisted we had the wrong coordinates. I like these large ammo boxes. Dropped a TB.

Geochecker insisted we had the wrong coordinates, but we went for it anyway, and came away with the cache! Thank you.

It amazes me how people can paint and draw and it ends up looking like the subject matter. I do not have this skill and have always wished I could do it. Lovely view, and obviously the artist thought that as well. The cache was found with not too much trouble.

We went to WP1 and wrote down the required information. Then with the magic of maths, a sensible set of numbers appeared. Then its off to GZ. At GZ, after a little search, the cache was found. TFTC gmj3191.

Great spot and cache! Thank you

Melbourne Day 4: Sandringham and Brighton

Nice sunny day today, so I took the train down to Cheltenham and cycled my way to the beach, picking up whatever caches that I encounter along the way. Very nice and big caches along the way here, which made the hunt very pleasant and enjoyable throughout. I am looking out particularly for the Archibald caches which I have solved beforehand and a few nice multis along the beach. Very scenic views and good fun all round! Thanks for all the caches!

The following is the specific log for each cache:
Very beautiful place and glad that I was brought here by this cache. Enjoyed the view and got the cache digits. Walked over and found the nice big cache easily. TFTC and the views!

Puzzle solved with Everlasting. Very warm day for us to walk along the path. Found it. Thanks gmj3191 for placing the multi.

Beautiful view from wp1. Nice walk along to GZ with ksngas11. Thanks for the cache and hunt.

Found it!!

A quick visit to my closest cache, only 120 metres from our home, to log visit some trackable brought back from Japan so that there's milage gets recorded.

Find 1882
Another good multi that I enjoyed. At WP1 the info was gathered and the cals worked out for GZ.
We spent a bit more time reading the signs and then we were off to GZ.
Coords were spot on and soon the good sized cache was spotted. Log signed and all back safe again.
Thanks gmj3191

A lovely large cache is always a treat, especially when it’s an ammo can! Continuing my cache walk, and the quest for the five sizes today. The puzzle was nice and quick, and the painting interesting. The scrub has changed a far bit since the impression, and added erosion I think. Thanks for an excellent cache and increasing the large cache count in suburbs, it’s much appreciated! (I tried to get the cache and the bluff in the same photo, but the she oaks weren’t behaving)

This cache was the reason I took off to Sandy for the afternoon as it filled a gap in my hidden month matrix - and I am glad this was the cache I chose to fill it. It was a really good view from up here and a good story at WP1. I took the tb at GZ and was impressed to find an ammo can! tftc [edit - this one also turned out to be my 100th multi find!!]
