Being a slow day at work, I realised that even though I scour these forums now and then and have been caching for quite a while now, I've never actually introduced myself properly!
As the Happy Chappies (myself (Eddie), Michelle (my wife) and our kids Ethan and Jasmine) we've been caching for a couple of years now I reckon (it's hard to keep track!) since some friends put us onto it. It just opened up a whole new world for us. That thrill I got on my very first cache (A History Apparatus - GCPN06) to see something I'd seen every day for years in a new light, and reach my hand into places unknown to find the unexpected cache still stays with me - I remember the ride home on the train that night, looking at the same old suburbs with new eyes, wondering what caches lurked out there
So we've kept it up in bits and pieces, usually integrated in with our hobbies of cycling, bushwalking, a bit of 4wding (complete with our TB'd Land Rover!) and camping, as well as whenever work sends me anywhere near or far! We're based in Box Hill in Victoria/Melbourne... And that circle of completed caches is slowly getting wider and wider
We've also enjoyed placing a few caches and the rewards that come with that... And of course the odd FTF and meeting the occasional cacher en route (although to date we've only officially met Bob/Geodes in the field... hoping to meet some more one day!) - I think an event cache will be on my agenda soon, and even got ideas for the planning of one later this year which could be wonderful....
Anyway - just an official hello

Hope to bump into some of you out in the field!
