logging TWO DNFs, one from Fathers Day weekend, and another today...
TOTALLY forgot to log it originally sorry!
Took Ms. TFA's little brother and sister out for a caching run, to try introduce the game to a new generation ha ha. Spent about 30 mins looking at this time, and not one of our 7 strong team could lay our eyes (or greedy little hands) on the prize. Looked high and low, near and far, double checked and rechecked any where we could think of. All to no avail. Oh well, we will be back to get this one, as the parents only live down the street
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today Mr TFA1 and Ms TFA took another dip at this one. GPS seems to move around A LOT even using two phones :/ spent another 45 mins looking and still could not find. Cache either hasn't had a visitor, or people (like me oops D= ) who havent logged a DNF. No hint doesnt help, even something as small as what the container is. Still another day, and we shall find it.
Any chance that the CO might be able to confirm that the cache is still there? And hasnt been muggled :/ Thanks

After a quick search on the wrong side, cache was quickly found, nice hide, good work log not signed cos this was an impromptu cache run, and we forgot our pen
Nice quick find, put on a Friday night, waitin for a mate to finish work, forgot our pen so couldn't sign log, but it IS a find lol...
Wow! That certainly is tiny! Great hide!

Third find for GeoNephew today
Did need the clue however, as gps was playing up and coords had us a few metres off, but none the less, told nephew to look for THE CLUE near the trees, and withing 3 minutes, had cache in hand.

Fantastic hide, nephew said "wow thats a clever one, a very clever *clue*" ha ha ha
i think i might have created a monster lol

DNF but still got 4 outta 5 today just didn't have the time to work out the proper co-ords... I think we have the right ones, but may be off :/ however we will be back, as this was our first attempt at a puzzle/multi cache
Found it! Awesome hide
Although did need the clue to find it well thought out, ran into a fellow cacher, who has been searching for a year! She left before we made our discovery tho nimble fingers, or small hands DEFINITELY helped ha ha TTF (with clue) 5mins 1735 4/9/13

Find 3 of 6 on introducing TFA.AUS's family to GeoCaching, although at night probably isnt the BEST idea
GeoNephew found this one quite quickly and easily and Uncle TFA had a good idea where it might be, so suggested he look there, his first ever find by himself, nearly screamed the place down with "I FOUND IT, I FOUND IT!!!" echoing across the nearby skate park
Swapped smiley face badge for the VicPol badge at GeoNephews request

Stop #2, find #2 of 6 for the night, Intro to GeoCaching for TFA.AUS's family
nicely creative hide there, well hidden, took a little while to find it, probably because we went at night.
found by GeoSis, who laughed when she found it, retreated to car, SL, returned cache
GeoNephew swapped one of his prized Lego men for a smiley face badge
Left the trackable "Rikki" for someone else to find and carry on its adventure a bit further

stop 6 of 6 during TFA.AUS introducing his family to GeoCaching
searched in the darkness, just TFA and GeoNephew
No luck after 10 mins, plus was getting late, but will be back to find it another day... This is the area i grew up in, so its fun to find (or refind) places that bring back memories, or even being surprised by the fact a GeoCache is somewhere i used to spend a lot of time
TFTC, even tho i havent found it yet

Stop 5 of 6 on Intro to GeoCaching for TFA.AUS's family
unfortunately, after 15-20 mins of looking at what im sure was GZ, nothing was to be found, other then a spider on TFA's shoulder, and him swallowing a little flying bug :/
GeoNephew was a little disappointed but loved the impromptu 2 hour adventure playing find the treasure

TFA.AUS second consecutive night of caching, 4th consecutive day (since starting 4 days ago ha ha). Introducing GeoSis, GeoBro-in-Law, and GeoNephew to the wonderful world of GeoCaching.
took about 15 mins before a little brainwave hit GeoSis, and checked somewhere i wouldnt have thought of immediately, and BINGO!
Forgot our pen, but will head back tomorrow to sign log, might head out and see if we can hit another couple of GeoSis's local caches
Think GeoNephew is hooked now, he's begging us to go to more and more parks! ha ha ha

TFA.AUS + Family Intro to caching, at night
find 4 of 6 of the night.
Found by a very excited GeoNephew
Just a word of warning, there was a redback "camping" right near GZ, so just take care when retrieving, although no spiders were seen when cache is hidden

Didn't get a chance to log this yesterday, introducing the mid teen sister to GCing, had a bit of a time trying to find the mural, co-ords are a fair way off, ended up asking locals where the statues, mural and star walk were, from there was a fairly easy find even though there was a decent amount of muggle foot traffic, a sneaky grab, say down for ice cream, TNLNSL, then a sneaky ninja replace so as not to be seen TFTC think we might have converted another muggle

Nice spot took a little while, but found it after looking in the same place for a third time ha ha ha 3rd times a charm as they say TNLNSL TFTC
Nice job, hidden nicely, little foot traffic but other then that no problems find 2 of 2 so far today! TNLNSL TFTC

Got the clue, whilst walking to GZ nice hide, picked it immediately as I walked up, figured on th walk there what the clue might mean, turns out I was right
Find 5 of 5 for the day, home time now

Took some searching but we did it! 3/3 for our first night cache session this one is probably better to do in the day just because it's a little spooky
After deciding to go for a wonder at night, bored at the mother in laws with my partner, we decided to do our first night cache session. After a quick walk on the beach to avoid the nosy house occupants, we found it after a bit of a search first beach and night cache find - thanks for the gorgeous view took the geocoin and will leave around our home base or ballarat
Good little hiding spot, fairly obvious to those in the know. 2/2 on our cache night run - one more and then home to bed
TFA.AUS's first trackable pick up swapped "Rikki" for a Marilyn Munroe tin
Nice neat little hiding spot 16.57

Find no3 in the city for the day. Following the footsteps of moo73 on our hunt. Left scabble "e" tile
Found in dark. Medalian coin and scrabble "I" tile left behind. 5/7 for the day. Heading home. Phone almost dead
Was asked by security to leave, explained what we were actually doing, security said he had others there explain what GeoCaching was a couple of months ago. Back again another day, after some serious thinking about the clues
