Nice hide. Got to watch for muggles big time??

Seems this cache needs some TLC. I haven’t got the time at the moment due to work so have decided to archive it

Found with icw. The container was out of sight on the ground. We signed the log, but the queue to get into the public convenience spilled onto the footpath. I spent some time holding the container while studying cloud formations. The moment the coast was clear I returned the cache having discovered the magnet still worked. Tftc.

DNF for me
Hunter

Found today whilst on a day trip in South Gippsland. We replaced as found, but this cache needs some TLC. Lid is missing, no magnet and zip lock back was open, so log was quite damp.

See my found log for notes.

Great spot, love this town. Brewery is awesome

Beautiful mural and area. Will have to come back during the day on another occasion. Tftc

Stopped by Loch on the way to the prom for some lunch. Spent too long looking in the wrong place first. It was more front side than I expected! TFTC

Nice spot. Beautiful town

Found after a lovely lunch in Loch. Tftc

Muggles! Muggles everywhere! And no wonder, it’s such a lovely little town. We waited oh-so-patiently for a muggle-free moment, then quickly grabbed the cache. Thank you!

This was my first weekend in Melbourne for months, owing to some birthday and other engagements. Saturday was free however so I teamed up with OzHockeyChick to go exploring for the day.

Spotted this as we were gathering some nearby multi clues. Dodged the muggles to make the find undetected.

Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache.

Was being foolish and not looking in the obvious spots. Had to wait for some muggles to pass before nabbing this one.

Thank you!

We have been here so many times unsuccessful. If it meant coming at 7:00 at night when there were no people around... we were going to find it! As I went over to the structure, I spotted it straight away, I was very surprised I got it so quickly. The lid of it has come off but the log is inside a plastic bag so I’m sure it’s fine. TFTC

Well done to the small one! This one had us a bit perplexed and almost ready to give up but the small one had one last feel around and got it!
We’re trying to pick up a few on our way home and nudging ourselves closer to that 200!
Thanks for the pit stop and TFTC

Tftc, Lovely town

Tftc

Was under so we stuck it back on !!

Found

Being silly, after I found this cache I accidentally logged it (on the computer) into the other cache in the area. So I'm logging this as a "Write Note" because if I do a "Found It" on this one as well I will always have one smiley extra than I actually have. This is what I wrote:

Stopped to find this one on a rainy day as we were making our way to Welshpool. Couldn't find it in most obvious spot until Geodad spotted it on the ground.

TTFC!

Great start to 2021

Searched where the satnav was telling me it is, and the obvious place, but couldn't find it. A few muggles around so had to be discrete and patient. Felt that I'd looked in all possible places before abandoning. Maybe it's gone - maybe I just didn't look in all places. Will try this one again later as it's a place I visit with mates on our motorbikes quite frequently.

Nice little spot!!

Lucky in a Loch

It seems safe enough to re enable now.

Disabling till life gets back to normal. Who knows when that is going to be

Found with Dozenmater, TFTC

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Thanks! Nice little find

We go back in Melbourne and our road pass by Loch.

After a really good lunch at Olive at Loch, we find the cache after some minutes

TFTC

Great little town. Took us a while to find the cache.

Found on route to the Wonthaggi event, I have always love the town of Loch and now I am living in Warragul am tempted to resurect I cache I once had here. Thankfully The place was empty this morning and I just happened to look in the right place, first time. Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache.

Found by The Empire + H
Heading to check out Loch and their distillery! A quick find today, GPS was jumping around, probably the power lines but the hint worked out. Thanks for the cache Gonefishen07.

Beaten today

Wow

No luck today for us. They were doing works at the edge of the park so not sure if that effected anything?

Great way to entertain 5 girls on a gorgeous sunny day

A quick look on a miserable day (weather wise) without success... maybe next time I am here.

Found this lying on the ground in rough shape. We cleaned it out, dried the log and put it in a new bag. Replaced it near where we found it.

Quick toilet stop is an excuse for a quick geo cache. What a gorgeous little down.

Too easy !

Awesome find!

It was well hidden but the clue was a bit obvious!

Nice one! Combined with a day at the food and wine festival!

Rusty and wet, but an extra smiley face for me

TFTC had to wait for a while to put it back while people enjoyed the fresh air

Quickfind glad the rain has stopped

This one took us a while with some muggles at the bus stop...it was well hidden with the rustle rustle rustle

Gawd...how could you not love Loch. What a belter of a town!!! So much olde world chic.
We hovered around the dunny block like real weirdos, not wanting to search too thoroughly and arouse the suspicions of the muggles at the bus stop. But in actual fact, we probably looked more dodgy just because we were trying not to act suspicious.
After Hera got off the phone to her PAF she casually just reached in...rustle rustle....and pulled out the cache.
It’s a bit soggy, I’m afraid to say. Thanks for a great pit stop on the drive home though.

Oh how I wish we had time to stop for brunch in this gorgeous town! Maybe next time... I PAF'ed my brother Crowfam44 for a hint and found it in a spot the girls had previously checked. They were not impressed!

Great find. First with my sister!

This tricky hide did not fool me, I was right on to it. Great spot fo a cache. Love Loch and had the best bruschetta I have ever had in my life for lunch.

Took awhile to find this one. I found something else that I thought was it which took a while to extract.

After coming up to Nyora for the CITO and doing our bit to pick up other people’s rubbish, beckmonts, papi4507, Crank1 and I joined together and spent the afternoon finding caches in the area.
After calling in to the local servo for a well earned ice cream we soon had this one located and on our way to the next one.
Thanks Gonefishen07 TFTC.

Thank you for the great write up on this cache. We actually stopped at the service station next to the house that was hit, prior to finding the cache (ice cream call). I always appreciate a cache with toilets nearby, as let’s be honest, who does not need them on a caching day out? Thanks for showing me the area Gonefishen07.

Our first find of the day on a great day trip to the area. What a great town to stop in. This town will definitely be on our list for future stops. Being the first cache of the day all the kids were out looking for this one and it was soon spotted. Great camo but lid is missing. Log bag slightly wet. A great place to stop and a well hidden cache. TFTC

#Foundit 479 - Hubby and I were going to the Loch market today and on our way home stopped to collect this one. Easy find but hard to retrieve due to high muggle activity on a Sunday morning. Happy for another smiley. Love this town so much we hope you hide another one please. Thankyou kindly.

Driving back from Cape Paterson today and decided to take the scenic route to grab some caches that were a little more out of the way.
A lack of muggles aided my search, but after a short look, I'd brought up nothing. I resorted to looking at the logs, none of which really helped. Going back to just looking, I surprisingly came across the cache quite quickly after that.
This certainly looks like one that would have me going in circles for ages.
Neatly tucked away out of sight, signed log and returned.
The lid is missing, but isn't impacting too much on the cache, given the good condition of the plastic bag and sheltering from the elements.
Thanks for placing this here!

TFTC, Brainiac03

Accompanied with pwala outing for caching today.
The weather was very warm.
Enjoyed ourselves
Finally got it I don't know why I did not see it in first place.
Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache

Loves the postcard artwork here. Thanks for bringing me here and cache.

Took us a bit longer than expected to find, gps had us hunting further afield. Tftc

Found with my Dad (day1976) on a drive to family holiday in Venus Bay. TFTC!

It was the 11th of December 2012 when I logged a DNF on this one. I didn't realize that when I loaded this one as the next cache on my list for the trip from Emerald to Venus Bay for a holiday with Yeah09.


But when I arrived on location, my mind instantly went back to that awkward search from 6 years ago.

Oh no.

A little while into the search I found myself searching the same places yet again.

So I PAFed and soon after had the find.

TFTC!

Found after about 5 minutes nice hide tftc

A bit of a search as the coffee shop was full of people. Found eventually in the place I suspected all along. Love this little town. TFTC

Pulled up at GZ to receive a phone call for the next 30 mins just sitting and analysing where it may be! This led to a quick find but long find TFTC

Couldn’t find

Walked around for ages but did not find we were in the dark a bit so maybe we just couldn’t see it but quite devo

Found with markymoo2018

Nice little cache, had us guessing for a while TFTC.

Nice little hide

Find #4585

Since I did the Oxfam Trailwalker event (and numerous training walks prior) with Lost_and_Found_79 we have threatened to arrange a caching day out together. We finally agreed on the Grand Final public holiday and we headed south east to an area where neither of us had found many caches previously. After a few finds along the highway Loch was our next stopping point. I had been here before but obviously hadn’t stopped to find the caches. This was the first one and after parking nearby we simply wandered around like the tourists that we were and L&F79 made the find here. Our fifth find in a busy day of 35 total finds and a couple of DNFs. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Gonefishen07.

Annoying Tarbit and I decided to head to this area today for some caching. It ended up being quite eventful, with a rather diverse range of caches attempted (and mostly found!).

We wandered along to this GZ and had a quick scout around. It didn't take long before I found the cache. The lid has been broken on the container but the log was fine. TFTC

Great hiding spot, just thought I should let you know that we replaced the plastic bag for you as it was getting wet.

A nice stroll up the street from the Lock Up.
A lot of people around for the size of this small town, must have been rush hour.

I lingered around the mural for a while before making the find and signing the waterlogged log book.

Needs a new container for sure.

Nearly tore the door off at the bakery nearby before noticing the Please slide the door left sign.

Thanks Gonefishen07

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Found it

Found this little one smack bang where it says it is! Unfortunately the tin is now missing a lid and the contents are soaked. I wrapped them up as best as I could when replacing it all! TFTC!

Couldn't find it. so sad
Hope I have good luck next time
Good luck to all the people who find it

That was a difficult one !

I have seriously stared at this spot on 5 separate occasions in the past and been gobsmacked by the sheer quantity of pedestrians passing by with irritating frequency. Well today I obviously had some geo-mojo on coz I made ninja swift retrieval moves without muggle observation, signed the log in the nearby park and whacked that baby back without any issues! Glad to finally tick it off. The lid was missing from the container but the log was in good condition. Thanks for the cache!

Oh dear, missed out. Ready for another day.

Found with Geo Hubby TB142 and Geo Friend RogerZ1956 TFTC

Spent quite a while looking before I found this one. Grabbed while waiting for the kids to finish lunch.

Found with geo wife Kezza1211 and Rogerz1956 TFTC

Easy find with tb142 and kezza 1211 tftc

Sitting in the car waiting for a shop to open, we saw the DNF on this, we had a look for the CO and its definitely still there

Sadly matilda_3192 and I missed finding this today. Will be back for another go soon

Nice easy find

A quick grab on the way past - apologies for the late log, it was a busy day and I had forgotten until now

Having attended an event today at nearby Nyora, we travelled on here to Loch to have lunch at a lovely roadside cafe.
Afterwards I wanted to stretch my legs and found all sorts of historical memorabilia, and, lo and behold, a cache as well.
Actually I didn't find the cache, Muggle Hubby did.
Time to head off now to see what is at the top of The Hill.
Thank you for the entertainment you added to our visit of the town.

Overthought it a bit and shocked a few ppl when they saw me looking around behind the toilet block, suffice to say if your looking in the bushes you are in the wrong place!
Ducked out of New Years On The Hill to have a look for the Loch caches before he year is out!

Found it with Hoyling75. Thanks

Great cache took a while but found it in the end should have been easy TFTC

I tried looking. Miss 4 tried looking and found it straightaway. Lovely history on a wonderful day. Just wish this hidden gem of a town was a little more popular for tourisms sake. Tftc in good condition.

#1342 Enroute to tidal river for the start of the Great Vic Bike Ride for 2017. Geo wife decided a coffee was in order so we pulled in at the establishment a few meters from this cache. Since we were stopped I thought I'd fire up the phone and see if there were any caches in the area, as although I had a couple I planned to look at, at tidal river I didn't know if I'd get to them before the impending storm hit. I was amazed to discover I was sitting just 4 metres from the cache. Got out of the car and after a min or so of looking spotted it. TNLNSL TFTC Gonefishen07, Perfect for the unexpected stop.

Out on a b'day date with Mr Bambi, nice find. Cool spot too. SL TNLN TFTC

0/2 on my rest stop in Loch en route to the prom. Thanks for pointing me to a nice rest spot if nothing else

Feeling poorly today, called in sick for work. Had a little extra time with the Geo-princess before collecting the prince.. With her cache spotting eyes in hand we set off on a little adventure..

This was the first cache.. I've had a DNF on this MANY moons ago, today it was in hand after a quick search.. hooray.. victory is mine..
