Truckies nightmare Bayles, Victoria, Australia

Great little find. Thank you . Only my second find!

Started off caching this morning with goingplaces2 but it was raining, so the going was slow. Our focus for the day was SideTracked caches and we were pleased to find some. Each one found had two more names added to its log before we headed off to the next one. This was a quick and easy find and one of only a couple of traditional caches found for the day. TFTC.

This was a good one to find as there were not too many places a cache could be hidden. All is good with the container and log. Thanks go to The Big O's for placing this cache.

After logging the nearby SideTracked cache, it was this cache's turn. A quick find, and pleased I was able to reach to retrieve it. Cache and log are good. TFTC The Big O's and Bounty Trackers.

Quick stop to check out the park and to my surprise there was a cache right nearby! Good hide, TNLN TFTC

Only just able to reach it, very entertaining when the man in the booth scared my children!

Really loved this find. Nice and local, good hint.

Thank you. Was fun to look.

Thanks for the quick find. No one was at the window

Parked the car jumped out & looked around for about 1 minute then we had it in our hands Thanks Bounty Trackers for this one

A quick and easy find in the most obvious place. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

Easy and fun to find. Thanks for putting one in my local area!

Wasn't sure of what to expect here given the hint but was easier than I feared. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC

Well done

No nightmares - enroute to the ISLAND with a more than wee detour! The planets aligned and a spontaneous decision to head down to the Island for some sea breeze, ozone and coastal vistas on a free day AND of course caching (or casheering as dear mum would say) transpired. This great hobby is such an invitation to explore aspects of any location. Quick find at GZ with a good hint. TFTc and the FUN.

Found it

Mrs Woodyrothwell and I had been on holiday on the Mornington Peninsula all week and the only thing I hadn’t found was a decent coffee. And it’s not like I wasn’t trying jamming in 2 to 3 cups a day.

There were some that barely got a pass mark and a few I actually had to tip out. You might think I’m a giant coffee snob and you would be 110% correct. I can’t tell one blend from another and don’t know what setting I should put my grinder on but I just know how much I love the warm buzz and tingle of a good cuppa.

Let’s just say I wasn’t pinning my hopes on the coffee from the Bayles general store being any good. Usually I like my baristas to be middle-aged with a long grey pony tail and an olive complexion. I was just happy they knew what a flat white was.

Wow, wow, wow! A little store in the middle of nowhere finally had a beverage I could hang my hat on. Nice and pleasant and made with a lot of love and I could taste every drop of that love. After finally restoring my faith in the region we crossed the road for lunch and to use the facilities (obviously not at the same time). tftc

I was out finishing the AUSLAN series today and managed to pick up this nicely hidden cache .. thank you The Big O’s for placing the cache and to the Bounty Trackers for keeping the cache in the game.

Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Quick easy find tftc

Found with contents in good condition,

Nice little find.

Great location, great hint

Out for a caching shenanigans day with Rebel Acts, a quick pitstop on the way to our destination had me grabbing this cache. Did I even know what town we were in Nope...I guess it didn't mater.

A quick find on our trip cutting past Melbourne from the Gippsland to Sorrento

TALLY HO!!!

Nice spot!! Quick find.

Great cache

Beautiful spot. Cute little weighbridge

Thank you nice hiding spot good bit of fun

We are in the area today searching for some of the Auslan series. We decided to head into Bayles for lunch and discovered a traditional cache not far from our lunch spot. The CFA and Santa were also in attendance. After lunch we took a short walk to GZ and quickly located the container. Thanks to The Big O's/Bounty Trackers for the cache.

I think this is cache number 50, finds for today! After a big day finding the dinosaur pretzel mystery ones, we had to get one more to make the half ton! Now we are homeward bound back to the peninsula! Thanks for the cache

On a very long day of cacheing with jaamc23-35 doing the pretzel series we had to stop to grab this one and what a perfect cache to end the day we sad g’day to the bloke in the shed and logged the find. Thanks for placing this cache

*Thank you for helping to show us around different areas and adding to our enjoyment*

No sign today of Mr Charles Izzard the original weigh-bridge operator but we didn’t need his help to locate this fun little cache in this lovely little town with a freshly painted art water tank opposite GZ.

Great find with my Grandaughter Charlotte. She says the mans name is Mr Potts. Good fun and it made us look closer at this historic spot. TFTC

Kids loved this cache and the nearby street library. They affectionally names the ‘truckie’ Broderick. Not sure why! But thanks for bringing us to this interesting spot and TFTC

After Aulsan series then drive to find few caches on the way to home with 63ROOS and crank1.. tks

Accompanied ALL7, TFTC

My first time so took a bit, but was so excited when I did

Took us a while for our first find. But did it!!

Finally a smilie! So easy this time

Found quick TFTC

Having passed through Bayles many times on the way to and from Gippsland today I decided to stop over for a rest break and to seek out this cache
Although it was raining, the retrieval and replacement posed no problems
All found in good condition
Many thanx to Big O for the cache and Bounty Trackers for the maintenance

After replacing the cache, and in between rain showers I took the opportunity to visit the adjacent fauna reserve
Well worth a visit. The restored railway station building, emu, kangaroo and deer of particular interest. A pleasant 2km walk

Found Charles Izzard lazing off a bit

Found it with my family

TFTC. Lovely spot

Tftc never been to Baylor’s before. Simple but effective and good hint. What a lovely tribute to your husband

Spooky

A quick find today while passing through this area. We much prefer th we country roads to the highways. Thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC
Great hiding spot! A wonderful memory. It’s been many years since I’ve been to Bayles fauna park.

Found it thanks. Just a bit hard to retrieve

Cool find in a nice spot of a town I've only ever driven through. TFTC!

Found it

Well done Big O. I'm sure your husband is proud of you!!

Great spot

The cache was found but retrieval would have bee tricky if I had not been with my two chums, This is a clever hide, simple but effective.

Out with xambo4u and BoabTree we returned today to complete the Auslan puzzle series and other caches in the Garfield area.
I love the title of the cache and memory to your husband. Great first cache and a very clever hide. A favourite point The Big O’s.

Out with and about withy echidna44 and Boab Tree finishing off the Auslan series and clearing out others on our way. Easy parking and with a bit of a stretch they made the excellent find while i checked another building close by. I guess this not used any more for what it was built for. I will give it a favourite its been the best hide for the day. Well done The Big O"s Thanks for the cache.

Found it! Great hide

Found with a Mugle (emu) near by. TFTC

Found at 9:28 AM GAFF1 in the company of Rabbitto.
On our way to do the Auslan series and we just had to stop here for some relief. While Dean was busy, I walked the 25 metres to the cache and quickly sussed out where the cache was going to be - excellent co-ords btw. I couldn't see inside, so am guessing one guys name was John? Wish there were more of these weigh bridges around (actually operating) so that us caravan drivers could check on our weights.
Thanks The Big O's.

Find #4990. Found @ 14:56 with the Good Lady Wife.

We had some car difficulties last weekend but the mechanic couldn't locate the source of the problem, so it was suggested that we take a longer drive. We chose to come out this way to accomplish that.

We combined a pit stop with a cache find and picked this one up. Lots of people coming along to use the nearby facilities, but I was able to search in peace, not that I needed very long to search.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache The Big O's maintained by Bounty Trackers.

Bunadoorian and I were on our way home from a lunch meeting where we said our good byes to Jebjeb before they head home to Germany tomorrow. We decided to take a google tour with no toll roads or freeways. This lead us to this little town. Having never been here before we stopped for a look and found this cache not too far away. I found the area but Bunadoorian found the cache first. TFTC and for bringing us here The Big O's and for maintaining it Bounty Trackers. A great tribute to your husband.

Grub62 and I had never been to Bayles before and though a cache to celebrate would be a good idea. TFTC.

Found it on a sunny but cool winters day

TFTC had a chat to an emu too

Found it TFTC

Found myself in Melbourne this week so joined with WeRAmused to pick up some caches. Took a little while to suss out the hide and I am thankful for for the height of WRA, very helpful as I am somewhat challenged in that way. Log signed as WRA / MM. TFTC

I looked for this one when I first started but I never found it. I finally found this with MazzyMay and I was really happy to cross it off the to do list. TFTC.
