Thanks for bringing me here on a beautiful morning. . I plan to get at least one cache a day for the next five days while I am in your town. TFTC.

An awesome start to the morning with this beautiful stroll. Information was obtained and the cache located. Not much of a view from these 1930's concrete seats ..

Today's target was an event in Castlemaine followed by some caching, Ad Labs and some scouting around. After the event, micaparamedic and I set off for a few caches, although he had already done them. A nice little multi. Thanks Jejon for creating for us all to enjoy. --------------------------------------------------------The nominees for the [**2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards** ](https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/2023-victorian-cache-of-the-year-awards/) have been announced.

Visiting Newstead for a few hours and saw this on the way back. A quick solution and a nice walk to the find. Thanks.

Checked to see if was in place and it is still there.

It seems I'm having no luck with multis today. Time for a break I think

A short trip up to Maldon and Heathcote this weekend grabbing a few caches on the way.Interesting distances, but I don't think I could see any of them!A nice walk up to the Point and down to GZ.Thanks, Robmc.

Wow, this took us a bit to find, as we are new to this. Good wander around. TFTC

An unusual situation for us instead of being in lovely warm Queensland we are hiding around cold old Victoria. Medical reasons and caravan repairs have us staying here and we will be looking forward to finding as many caches as possible while we are here. SL TFTC

I had been in Castlemaine today and being in no hurry to arrive home in the middle of Melbourne's evening peak period traffic, I spent a little time looking for caches before *hitting the highway*.

I needed a Multi today for a challenge I am slowly completing and decided that this was the best choice late in the day. The information required was easily collected... and with GZ worked out, it was an easy walk to the cache.

Thanks **Jejon** for placing this cache.

An early start before returning to Melbourne. Out for a quick walk and onto the pillar to start. Maths sorted and into the GPSr for a final that matches the distance. Off we went and soon arrive and at GZ. TFTC

Our first find in Castlemaine, being in the area for some familial events. On the way up there was a woman doing yoga in the early morning sun. The cache was all good and found quickly thanks to the hint. Muchas gracias for the fun multi and hide. Took nothing and left nothing.

In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

*Found on the 5 Jan 2023 @ 5:13 pm.*
*Cache find # 13957.*

Today I headed out this way as I was needing a few more cache finds in the Mount Alexander LGA for a certain challenge cache.
On my tour of a very interesting area, I stopped at this one to make the find.

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

Visiting Castlemaine for the afternoon. Lovely walk. Thanks for placing the geocache

Having finished work for the day in Ballarat I thought to myself why not go out and camp the night somewhere and run an event in Bendigo. We'll with that all planned I decided to make a weekend of it. Exploring parts of the state I hadn't visited before today I had a great time driving around and can't wait to be back again. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

Fltf

A sneaky wee sidetrip after school dropoff (normally gets a bus!!) I love this area. Many thanks

We visited Castlemaine an orienteering event and had time after lunch for a little geocaching. We enjoyed this pleasant park and finding this geocache. TFTC

Nice quick find for us today!

Answers gleaned, then off to GZ for a quick find.

Thanks

Found whilst on a walk around the Kalimantan Trail with the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre. A beautiful sunny morning. TFTC

Wandered up to the top , gathered the info , did the maths and strolled back tp the geoute picking up the cache on the way

TFTC

Found with blingg
TFTC

Quickly calculated then a short walk to GZ where the cache was soon located.

Thank you for showing me this nice little area, it seems popular with the locals

Another wonderful park to visit in Castlemaine. Cache in great condition. TFTC

Great geocache, good fun to find..!! Kids left a fidget toy

All numbers and later the final were an easy find.
TFTC

We scaled back our walk hopes today from 2 hoursish to 10 minutes according to Google Maps. But what a walk it was - anticline, Burke & Wills, and finishing here at Kalimna Pt. Maybe they could cut down some of the trees blocking the view, but that hasn’t been a popular option since WWII I’d guess. The numbers were easy even if we couldn’t see the places of interest, and the cache found instantly. Thanks Jejon

Area now available - shifted location. New clues as from Sept 8th 2020.

Temporarily disabled due to tree felling in area.

Found the initial site, cracked the code and found what we really thought to be GZ, but no luck! Must be well hidden!

Up in the hills at night now, scratching aorund for caches under the torchlight. Looks like some pf these parts have had recent fires!

Took some hunting here with evidence of recent fires. Cache eventually in hand. Tftc

This was a nice little stretch for the legs after the train trip from Melbourne. tftc

A blue and warm day (only the second in quite a while) so after a shady rest we did a late afternoon drive and stroll to this cache. Another “Lookout” completely surrounded by trees but a nice walk anyway. Cache and log in good condition. TFTC Jejon. Found 22/10/19 5:55 pm. Cache 1804 for us.

After the nearby event, I headed into town to find coffee and breakfast. I had spent my spare time this past week solving the 3 puzzle caches in the area, so I was determined to find them while I was here as well as a few others nearby.

Always love to do a good multi, one with a view is even better. Managed to gather the info without a problem, but once at GZ, took a bit of time to locate until I eventually expanded the search and found the neatly hidden container.

Many thanks to Jejon for the cache. TNLN.

Was not too sure that I was in the right place and wandered around a bit before zeroing in on the well hidden container.
Know all about that butterfly from my grandchildren as they live in that area now.
Thanks for the fun Jejon

Was in the area a little early for the event that is happening today. This is one of the ones that we managed to get done. Enjoy doing a multi that is interesting as this was. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

After some toing and froing, we eventually had what we thought was a viable GZ. We looked on the map and checked our numbers again but were pleased to arrive and find the cache. Thanks for placing it.

TFTC. Out with Aussie fun seakers picking up a few cachies

Out with little blue wren after the Event in Castlemaine.
While getting co-odds needed for GZ we met some muggles and after
Explaining what we were doing they came along to so they could see what
We had to find they were very interested

Spending the Easter weekend in Castlemaine and Bendigo so managed to get out early morning and grab a few caches. This was our final morning in town and I didn't have much time as I waned to get back before our youngest was up for the easter egg hunt. I planned to go to a trad nearby but a long list of DNFs made me think it wasn't worth trying so I headed up here. I had the place to myself at 7.30am on Easter Sunday morning so I was soon able to collect the required information and leaving the car where it was I headed off to GZ. There I was rewarded with a quick find of the well concealed cache. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the multi cache and for bringing me up here Jejon. I collected a few steps for another multi nearby that I will store for next time.

We got to the starting place and soon had GZ. We went to GZ not far away and Mrs Piuquet was worried she had the coords wrong. Mr Piuquet found it quickly. Signed and replaced. TFTC

Great two days of Geocaching with Polhey_moley. Finished off with this fun cache. Found the (beautiful) tag left by Possum and left in the possession of Polhey_moley. Did this one on mountain bikes. TFTC

Nice fun find. Found posums path tag, thanks heaps.

A great view from up here and a nice rotunda to sit and work out the clues.
Thanks Jejon TFTMC

Back in the Maine - there are just so many new caches here, since we lived in Bendigo. We found this one before heading to Blackwood for a very special geo-birthday.
Kalimna- another area of Castlemaine familiar to H-P as it is where she spent most of her childhood.

Satellites today had our GZ 7 metres SSW of where we found the cache.

Thanks to 'Jejon' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Second day of my Victorian road trip to the Parkville event in Melbourne. Last night I made it to Bendigo and today will bring me to Ballarat and then the end goal for today You Yang. Again lots of caches to pick from. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing them!

Lovely area for a walk around. Geodog really enjoyed herself
Thanks for the cache

A great view and a great walk for the geo dog. TFTC

Good fun brilliant thanks

Nice little walk through the bush.. tftc

On my leisurely way to Bendigo I diverted long enough to do this multi. Once I had gathered the numbers the coordinates were spot on leading to a quick find. TFTC Jejon

Time for a multi-cache
And a tour of the dirt tracks on one of Castlemaine's hills,
brought me to this little lookout

Numbers crunched,
I wandered off a couple of hundred metres to find the cache

TFTC.

Another well placed cache with easy to find hide. Good to get a bit of local history into ya. CIGC TFTC

TFTC

Second one in the same area. Went for this one and got the letterbox cache at the same time. Nice little multi and a strange place for a fountain to sit in the middle of nowhere. TFTC

We are doing some caches in Castlemaine. As we are here to buy some Castlemaine Rock. We fell in love with that stuff on our last caching trip here. When we did the Castlemaine rocks multi
After doing the nearby letterbox it was this ones turn this one was fun and in a beautiful spot this was a strange spot to find a bird bath
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

We came out to Castlemaine for some father's Day caching, well, that's what we told Zedaycee, but it was really so we could buy some Castlemaine rock!

Anyway as we headed out for a multi in the area we spotted the letterbox and decided to do that too, but then it was time to turn our attention back to the multi!

We were off to catch another smiley! The cache was easily found... But what an odd location to find a bird bath...

A nice quick little multi while grabbing the letter box nearby.. tftv

A great little multi. Thanks for placing this cache. Cheers

First multicache, found with Bulldog! Nice find. TFTC.

Nice little find with MCPullz! Great location! TFTC

No stamps

A brisk walk up the hill to this one but found OK

We had the coordinates worked out quickly and made a detour at GZ to check out a nearby curiosity that caught kenare's eye. Tftc

Working together with jenno3, kenare and kenbryl, we had this one solved pretty quickly. At Gz it was a quick find. Cigc. Tftc

Here for the day grabbing as many multi as we can get our hot little hands on. What a great location and fun multi. All the numbers are being kind to us today tftc

Well I must admit I'm pretty proud of all of us today.... so far! Lol! Usually we (mainly me) suck big hairy ones when it comes to multis!! Lol! Many thanks for your easy multi which we will use for the multi month challenge. Tftc

Did this one at night by phone torch light, trying not to walk into golden orb spiderwebs. TFTC

After gathering the information on another trip and then running out of time to get to GZ, today we managed to pick up the cache and sign the log. Thanks Jejon, great views.

On a mission to complete the 30multi caches in 30 days . Found at 0895.all good at GZ

Find #1267 for me. I stopped by here today on a mini-road-trip south of Bendigo where I live. With cooler temperatures and overcast skies, it was the perfect day to be out. After gathering the information needed I made my way to GZ and it wasn't long before I found your well-hidden cache. The container, log-book and contents were all in good condition. This cache also contributes to the Multicache Monthly Challenge this month which I'm attempting, so a special thanks for placing this multicache at this great location Jejon!

My caching calendar has been pretty poor recently, so with less than 12 hours left in the year, i have improved my count a little bit.
Multis are one of those things people tend to avoid for some reason, but I try to find them when I can. As i was in the area, I could hardly leave it unfound.
I did manage to set off in completely the wrong direction, but met a lovely dog on his walk, so that was good. Once on the right track, found quickly, behind a botanically inappropriate but perfectly good piece of camouflage.
Happy new year! 31 December 2016

After spending the day caching from Maryborough , we finally hit Castlemaine where we enjoyed a variety of hides and cache types in the town and outlying bushland. The hot day had turned into a lovely evening making caching conditions a lot more bearable, especially as the 4X4 air-conditioning wasn't working!
Thanks Jejon for showing us this lovely area , especially the wildflowers and for the cache.

Find number 5790 at 5:24:17 pm
Travelling home after a day up working in Maryborough, a long day but I need a couple of caches to relax and break up the trip down the highway.
A nice short walk through this dry park area on a warm afternoon.
**Thanks for placing this cache Jejon**

Nice find. TFTC

Another good find while driving around the area.
*Thanks for showing me some interesting locations.*

Nice quick and easy multi-cache, good location.

Walked the path to WP1 and gathered the necessary information, then calculated where we should head to for this cache. Fortunately spot on co ords led to a quick find. Signed and sealed then checked out the wild flowers. A favourite is given, thanks.

Found together with Schlauchen during our 3 weeks vacation in Australia.

Here in Castlemaine from Ocean Grove to visit Margaret, the sister of our "adoptive australian grandmum" Annie.
After the letterbox we couldn't skip this multi, especially an offset one is usually easy and nice to add at your own statistics. Coordinates were precise and Schlauchen found the cache quickly. Barry was amazed about this hideout.

TFTC and greetings from Italy.

Found it together with ravestorm on vacation in Australia!

Having completed the letterbox at the pavillon, we couldn't leave without doing this short offset multi cache as well. Especially ravestorm is interested in that, there's a challenge cache in Nuremberg, Germany, for which he still has to do 20 multis to be eligible to log it.

Coords were on spot and soon we had the box in our hands. (more precisely, I found it). Muggle Barry was amazed about how well caches can be disguised.

We headed to Kalimna Point early this morning (yes, there was frost on the ground) to attempt this and another cache. The data for this cache was collected quickly from WP1 and the coordinates for GZ calculated. Then it was off to GZ. We were a little apprehensive as we headed to GZ because there was evidence of an extensive cleanup. However, all was well and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks lejon for an enjoyable multi.

Took a bit of looking up and down for this one. Great area to visits we co to yetis weep through Castlemaine's caches!

Found by Team Ninja 17/07/16, find number 865.
I was working at the tourist railway in Castlemaine today and went for a caching trip in the three + hour gap between the morning and afternoon train.
This was the seventh find for today. I really enjoyed the walk through the bush. As I was gaining the information at the listed coordinates, I couldn't help but think that I'd done this one before, but I wasn't sure if I'd forgotten to log it or if I'd DNF'd it. As I arrived at GZ it all came back and I remembered my previous extensive search for the cache, which was in vain!
With a fresh perspective today I soon spied the cache - I'm really not sure how I missed it last time!!!

Thankyou for drawing our attention to the wet logbook and misleading clue. We have put a new container and log in. The clue has also been amended.

This one was not too hard to find with diana8 and mistermagee although the hint was a bit misleading. Log book was completely waterlogged. TFTC

Away on geocache weekend to Bendigo with diana8 and JulesC21. Our goal is to find 30 multis in the month of June. This was number 8 for the weekend. This cache was a quick grab, and although it's generally in good condition, the log is completely soaked through. Also, we all thought that the cache is a fair bit above ground level. Thanks for bringing me here, it's interesting to imagine what this park might have one looked like in its heyday. TFTC.

Nice to be brought off the beaten track a little bit and see a part of Castlemaine that we might not normally see. Mistermagee, julesc21 and I had to hunt around a bit for the cache and I question the clue that it is at ground level - for a giant perhaps! Log book was completely sodden, and needs replacing. TFTC

it really pays to look at your gps before leaving an area had to come back for another visit and soon after returning we made a fid on this cache
Thanks Jejon for putting this cache out for us to find

In Castlemaine today with Beckster 22 and thought we'd have a go at this multi after finding the nearby Letterbox. We worked out he coords for GZ and after a short walk we were at GZ where after a short search we found the cache. Thanks for placing jejon.

After collecting all the information we headed for GZ and the cache was soon found.

Getting dark. Pretty sure we were in the right area. Lots of recent foliage pruning going on.

Our last cache in Castlemaine for this weekend as it is back to work in Wangaratta tomorrow. Recorded our numbers diligently from the cairn and off we wandered to GZ. SL at 12.25pm #3431 TFTC Jejon Spotted an unusual feature not far away and went to investigate - a fountain in the middle of the bush?

Owner maintenance carried out. All good. Area has been recently cleared but cache still there (above ground level).

Found after doing a nearby cache and it was a simple case of grabbing a few numbers and then heading over to the gz to make a quick find. I thought that the gz might of been disturbed by the recent pine tree clearing but the cache was soon spotted in the open but untampered with. After signing the log I rehid it a little better with a little natural cover, thanks Jejon for the cache.

Find # 2489 @ 1655 H

Found with Mrs Tyred n Cranky

After doing the Fryers Trail and a couple of random caches on the way back to Castlemaine.
We done a couple of quick grab in town before heading home. After getting the required numbers and while doing the long drive around, we soon had the numbers counting down to GZ. it was great to see a good sized cache hidden and well stocked with goodies.
