What a great park and surrounds. Sadly, the cache was returned upside down which allowed water to saturate the entire contents of a once was great cache.

Find #911 logged at GZ at 15:41, will update shortly.... T4TC Rigger64 (Adopted from piglet*)!

I did the Ride to Conquer Cancer, and raised a lot of money for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. We rode 100 kms from Albert Park to Hastings where we camped overnight on the foreshore. After arriving and settling in to my tent, I went for a wander to stretch my legs and get the caches nearby. Nobody was on the track, so it was a quick and easy find.

As I do this update two days later from home, I notice that the CO listed on geocaching is different than my app downloaded on site. So thank you Roving ALGA!?

Found well hidden this is a good one
 
14-Sep-13
After dropping off the family at the motel nearby, I headed off to do some caches in the area.

As I finished signing the cache and placing it back, I spotted a young kid looking at me funny, I said hi and kept walking.
I later met him at the next cache. ( he wasn't a muggle)

thanks Roving ALGA [:x]
 
27-Aug-13

Day 13 of 31 day challenge and personal challenge of 48 in 24 hours, hubby Greysubmarine, JustAnnie1 and I headed out for a huge day caching in an attempt to break a lot of personal records.
Another bridge find so hubby swooped in to do what he does best finding things to save us girls crawling around in dirt. A little bit of searching and the cache was in hand and TB taken.
Thanks for the hide Roving ALGA.

So day 13 of the 31 day challenge, Mrs G and JustAnnie1 and my self headed out for a couple of hours of caching with the ultimate goal of completing the Jack Speak Series. We decided that we would grab as many caches on the way to do this series as we could. What a beautiful day Melbourne put on today lovely sunshine and a nice warm winters 18 degrees day. The wind was starting to pick up but over all it was a great day for caching.

Arrived near the GZ and parked the GeoKorando. Mrs G, JustAnnie1 and myself headed to the GZ where it was a quick read of the description. After a great walk through a great park, we come to the GZ. We searched for some time until I decided to get dirty a short time later i had the cache in hand and the log was signed and the cache was returned. a Great hide, thanks for the cache cheers.
 
11-Aug-13
Sorry not this time. But did have good look
 
10-Aug-13
This one took a bit longer than it should have. We arrived at the boardwalk with our dogs in the car, but no leads ... it turned out that the leads had been left at the previous cache. So, we had to drive there and back again before we could even get started.
The cache was eventually in hand after far too long avoiding muggles and just not seeing the container. All good in the end.
 
18-Jul-13
Nice area for a cache, lovely big container, but sadly few swaps inside. Left tb. TFTC.

We did not see a TB in here. TFTC

Had lunch at a great little park at the end of the board walk. TFTC.
 
18-May-13
Not often I get to do a caching run down this way in the car. Was a nice walk to GZ, thanks for the caching fun.
 
19-Apr-13
Searched with geo-grandchildren, in between passing muggles, to find the well hidden cache. Thanks Roving ALGA

After some exploration it was where it should be - I just didn't look hard enough.

With a couple of caches in this little area, I couldn't pass it by now could I? Wink This was first of the two and I soon had the stash in hand at 16:00.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice a clue in the cache but I should be able to find it out should I need it.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Rigger64 (Adopted from piglet*).

PS: There was no sign of the [url=http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=902ef212-5ded-4303-a25a-6f600487868e]Gina (The Traveldog)[/url] travel bug in the cache.

After having trouble with this cache at first I finally found it and making it my 50th find hooray (Insert Party music) but made it an enjoyable visit to the local area. And making it a memorial find
 
12-Jan-13
Found with geokids while mum slept in the car. Lots of great swaps on the cache, but TNLN. We just had a very informative trip on the Tidemaster boat at Tooradin, so the view of the mangroves was very topical. TFTC.
 
29-Dec-12

An impromptu caching run was had by Kay and Tee after a morning at Casey Fields watching Cee playing cricket. We headed across to Carrum Downs before venturing south to pick up a few DNF's from previous runs and a few new caches. We ended up down at Somers on this marvelous day before heading home via Mornington for a dinner then home. 5.5 hours and 21 caches!! not a bad effort we say.

After not attempting this one due to muggles last time we were in the area, we headed to GZ, Kay quickly had the words found it, but alas it was one of the roving caches of Spladam's in the same spot from Geocaching Australia. A quick look and the cache was in hand. TFTC
 
10-Nov-12
Got it, but had a funny encounter with a muggle and his dog! Then forgot to get the clue! TFTC.

Found it. Great hide. Interesting place for a walk so long as you don't mind a few mozzies.
The GeoKids loved it. TFTC. SLTNLN.
 
13-Oct-12
Spent 15 minutes looking around and under bridge and found a bag of dog poo! Mozzies fierce. Will try again another day.
 
04-Oct-12
Enjoyed the shorter walk to this one on such a hot day. Sl thanks for the cache
 
30-Sep-12
This one compensated for the Scout hall cache time wise. Thanks Roving ALGA.

Today I was given another opportunity to go caching for a day. Well it was only about 8hrs but that's close enough to a day Wink. I had to choose an area rich of caches to catch up to my nemesis [url=http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=b4585843-0564-409a-aee2-b35dc0e22ecf]gmj3191[/url] in one day. After some considerable consideration, I chose to come back down to the Eastern side of the Peninsula with half of a power trail still to complete and a bucket load of other caches, it was perfect! The weather started off nice and got cloudy and before we knew it, it was pissin down with rain. We didn't find too many during the rainy period but it didn't matter. It was a fun day finding about 32 caches in 6hrs and finally completing the Jack Speak series. This was the 7th for the day.

I actually envisanged to complete this series today however as I began to plan out my day, I realised that it would be very unreasonable. This was the only cache that I got to find part of the series today. Nothing like a morning breeze and a run to a cache to warm up the bones. When I arrived at GZ, the cache was found with ease. No muggles around today. I noted the clue and I must remember to keep it somewhere useful. Thanks Roving ALGA and Piglet and Rigger64! I'll finish the series one dayBig Grin

 
28-Jul-12
Ah... how come I didn't look here last time! Needs a new log book.
 
27-Jul-12
It's a while since I've found one of my cousin's caches, though I understand she's no longer looking afterwards (since she's overseas!). Nice find, just had to avoid getting too muddy in my business attire! Thanks for the cache piglet!

Now that was a difficult cache to reach then drop with contents going everywhere. Tftc. Nice spot
 
23-Jun-12
Had a problem with this cache - not the finding part, it was quickly in hand, but forgot about collecting the clue. Oh well, we will return another day when we go for the Scout one nearby. Couldn't attempt it because of Muggles. TFTC
 
16-Jun-12
A quick find on our epic blitz of the peninsula
Many thanks for the cache.
TNLNSL.
 
07-May-12
Wandered into the park after dark, I take it the view over the mangroves is nice - I couldn't make much out from our position. Black found the cache pretty quickly, we copied down the note, and had a laugh at the indecisive nature of the clue Smile
 
07-May-12
One of 22 found on a night caching run with Danozz in the eastern suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula / Westernport area. The usual suspects of the TDC (The Demolition Crew) being Marty - Quasar3671 and Adrian - Trailrunning were in absence tonight, due to other commitments except for one find, a FTF on Lying Synonym as we had planned to meet up at that one.

After our FTF success at Lying Synonym, the others had to part company and head off to other commitments, so it was time for Danozz and I to engage on a night run in the area, being an area that neither of us get to very much.

Quick walk in and a search around bridge on slippery ground was fun (not) anyway, cache found quickly and clue taken for next time I am down this way. I am sure I have done a few others in the series. TFTC.
 
28-Apr-12
RovingALGA I would be delighted if you checked this one out and let me if I really did miss it. GPS right on a spot but no matter the stretching and bending and looking and feeling nothing of regular size with a blue was to be found.
 
17-Mar-12
Found @1230 #1281
Today was on another epic cache run with best mate ahomburg with our intention to clear out the remaining unfound caches in the Hastings and surrounding areas. This run resulted in 33 finds and 3 DNFs for me a new record for number of finds for " a non-power trail" run in a single day.

Part of today's run was also to get around to as many of the piglet puzzler cachers to collect the clues. This one ahomburg had already found and was a quick grab for me. However I had to be careful as those bloody pickle bushes were here at GZ. There was another cache near by which we did not attempt has some scouts had set up camp near GZ.

TFTC Rigger64, another in the series completed, clue noted

Maybe another time. Will try again.
 
20-Jan-12
Found in the MOP in the dark, so no muggles around tonight. Signed one of the logsheets - no actual logbook present. Rehid and started walking back when I realised I had forgotten to retrieve the puzzle clue. Why do I always do that? Back to the cache, grab and go again! TFTC
 
15-Jan-12
Smile Found with Geokid Emily on a nice day, just before i went back to work. tftc.
 
12-Jan-12
Last for the day. Although shown in the inventory we did not find a TB in residence. Wot? - it's one of a series? Guess we'll have to come back again some time for the others. TFTC.
 
30-Dec-11
Fairly quick find once the branch was moved. Took Merkels Sightseeing Tour TB. No other TB present. TFTC.
 
29-Dec-11
I'll say this much for your caches, Rigger, I always get to indulge my nature nerd side. Saw a gorgeous blue heron sitting right over the cache, got within hands reach. Then a little lizard dude kept within 2cm while I retrieved it, climbing into my lap at one stage! The doggy TB is missing tho, making me one sad cacher.

5151. [font=Century Gothic][green]making tracks and I were recording the find on our audio devices at the same time so we were echoing each other. There were muggles close by [green]when we pulled up but they moved aside before we started to look. Gotta love that.

I parked in the carpark and went for the wander to GZ. This is a very interesting place with the walkway over the mangroves giving a close up view. Found the cache fairly quickly. Thanks to rigger64 for taking on this series and keeping it alive! Dropped a TB to continue its journey
 
Found at 10.00am We stayed in the nearby motel the previous night. So this was our first cache of 15 for the day before getting back to Bendigo. TFTC. TNLN.
