DNF after search here.
thanks

Had a limited time to search but still managed a fairly thorough look to no avail. Next time maybe.

Thought we'd be in luck here, as there were few people in the immediate vicinity, and the Court was closed. Our indicated GZ was at a place that seemed to fit the hint, but search high and low as we might, we couldn't locate a cache. Not a good start to our day, with only one from three so far. Our thanks anyway to B/dale bandits.

Ahhhhrrrrggghhh !! [:o]
I dropped by again this morning.
Busy place this !!

At least the crowd waiting outside were a lot better attired today
No 'Petty Sessions' I'm guessing.
This case looked serious !!
There were TV cameras *and* 'silk' !! [:o]

No chance of a search again today
I must check the court schedule before me next visit

Oh there was no chance at finding this cache today !! [:o]
There were more defendants than you could poke a lawsuit at hanging around GZ

Bad timing "If"

My advice; take it easy!

Searched high and low to no avail.

Joined some friends in Bairnsdale to do some caching after seeing off geodad on the train to Melbourne. 8 of us looked high and low for this cache. Looking at previous logs we looked for eclipse tins, gum and anything small but could not find it. There was some fresh gum though... yuk. Thankfully we poked with a stick first

There has been a few dnf on this cache. It may be time to check if it is still in position.

Spent half an hour looking but couldn't find. We think it's been muggled but no one has looked for the cache so not sure if it has been muggled.

Too many muggles

Most amazing court house I've seen in Victoria. An easy night stroll from the nearby camping area, not too many muggles about. Finding it was quick too whilst in tourist mode.

Quite night for a walk wish Melbourne was this quite on a Firday nught lol

Easy find but it isn't mini.

The morning after our work-day in the area and we decided to fit in as much caching as we could before we had to return to Traralgon to relieve our babysitter. By this time, we'd found a place which supplied coffee in 'buckets' and were slowly awakening for the day. We walked across from the nearby Bookworm cache, admiring the stunning historical buildings that Bairnsdale is so so lucky to have, and stopped here for a quick snatch and grab. Log signed and we were again on our way, not caught at all! TFTC B/dale bandits.

Nice easy drive by, TFTC

A cheeky fathers day cache. TFTC

Surprised it's still there

Great place. High muggle area on certain days so don't get caught. Keep an eye for the law with this one. Tyftf

Took s seat and had cache on hand tftc

Took a seat and found the cache tftc

I wouldn't of thought of that hiding spot.

But forgot a pen!

Day tripping...and after a restless sleep i decided its time to go looking for treasure...and look...i found it. great hide. Tftc.

Tricky but good one. Cheers.

After checking into the nearby caravan park we headed out to find some nearby caches and this was one we found. A nice quick find as we zipped into Coles to grab some groceries. TFTC

Best find so far tftc

Showing mummahbear77 some caches and generally giving her the rundown... Nice find first eclipse for the day tftc

This one is back in place and ready for action again.

Will get down at place another soon.

It's gone from the seat

Been pinched. Not there

Very relaxing find. Until some teen muggles spotted me find it through the courthouse window. Not sure if they were mischievous or not. TFTC

Thanks for showing us such a beautiful building. Took nothing, left a motorcycle to roam the streets. TFTC

Quick find after dinner. T4TC

Quick find ... Photo gave it away

Our 6th find today. Stealth was not too difficult at 7pm at night, with not many muggles around (or paying attention).
Signed log and returned cache.
TFTC

found it and it was quiet easy

Found while on a scenic roadtrip from Melbourne to Canberra with CT_ZA.
We stopped for some supplies here, took a rest on the seat, admired the historic building - and found a cache !
Thanks, B/dale bandits.

Nice and easy find and what a beautiful church to relax by while doing it. Thanks for the cache

Nice old building , took much stealth but eventually found it

Brought my bro for his first geo experience. Easy find although the gps was way off. Tftc

Great building tftc

Waiting whilst we gathered some supplies for our trip to nsw. Had a quick look with Jethro but could see it with a few muggles close by. Once the better half got back we made the discovery of what we needed. Signed the log an returned. Thanks B/dale bandits for the cache

wonderful

So terribly exposed and felt watched by a dozen eyes, a clever little hide.. thanks..!!

A sneaky little find at the end of big day. Geo kid found this easy as.

Found it, cheeky spot

Found fairly quickly but such a muggly area.
Loved the courthouse building.
TFTC

Laura had the idea, Remi found it!

Staying at our holiday house in Metung while having a week off work so I can go caching. Found this on a beautiful winters day with the sun shinning, I picked the right week to take off work. Sl thanks b/dale bandits for the cache.

Got it! Not too hard, tftc Bairnsdale bandits!

Found it!

Yay found it after some careful looking with muffles around. With jody1470 and geo kid.

Well out here late evening with outnabout86 and geokid. Wow so many people around on a Sunday evening. Finally found it after lots of non suspicious looking activity.

TFTC bandits.

On a road trip with Swellerfungus and on our way to Wilson's Promontory, passing through so had to stop for a cache and stretch our legs a bit.

Thanks for the cache B/dale Bandits.

After meeting the CO at the mega, and mentioning I was passing this way, I knew I had to stop and grab one of their caches! This one was it! A quick find for LadySim! Off now to camp at Tidal River for a very cold night, and walk to South Point in the morning! Thanks Bandits!

Nice easy find

Found as part of our Easter weekend cache hunt, far healthier than hunting chocolate eggs TFTC

Today was another road trip day first to Mt Baw Baw and then to the east of Victoria and back to grab some caches for an LGA Challenge cache I am slowly working on. Headed out from home at 5:30 am so it was pretty chilly early on but after that it was great.
I meant to get another cache nearby but was constantly muggled out so I walked over here and it was a lot quieter ehre and after a subtle feel around I found it in the first place I felt. Pretty happy about that.
Thanks B/dale bandits for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Nicely concealed. Needed to wait for the constant stream of PO box owners who all seemed to glance at me. I'll have to stop wearing the car club jacket.

Second attempt, and found in no time!

Quick find.TFTC

Having left Merimbula in glorious sunshine, it was quite eerie to drive in under the doona of cloud spread over Bairnsdale. After setting up for the night, we took the opportunity of the after business hours time-slot, to seek out the caches in the CBD. There is certainly some fine architecture to be checking out, should you have muggle trouble.

Our thanks to B/dale bandits for bringing us here.

Beautiful Public buildings. I was down on all fours and didn't find this one for a while. Not really a nano even. Thanks B/dale bandits.

Tftc

Celebrating our wedding anniversary so what do we do? Geocaching of course! We found this one but had no pen to log so went to buy some from a nearby shop and on our return there was some crazy guy yelling all kind of flim flam so we hot tailed it out of there! We will return to sign another day!

Easy find here, nice placement, didn't get caught.

TFTC

Yippee we took it easy and there it was.

Jac7 and I walked around the building and I walked back and saw it. Very sneaky! Thanks for the great hide! We signed the log and took some great photos!

Had to wait til the muggles got out of their car but then it was a quick log. TFTC !

It was obviously a Court Day today and there were plenty of people around but we managed to make the find without any difficulties. Thanks B/dale Bandits.

After the event we headed out with Micaparamedic to pick up a few more caches.
Thanks B/dale bandits for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

It was just dark enough for no one to really see me well and the cache was a quick find in a good caching spot, thanks Bairnsdale Bandits.

We came through the area on a weekend trip from Ballarat with passenger misscheif18 from Bacchus Marsh.

TFTC Sunday but still bust people getting mail etc

I thought we were going to get caught in the act by the police, but they kept on driving. A fantastic old court house, we'll have to drive past in the daylight to admire it completely. Thanks for the hide.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Bairnsdale and surrounding areas using geocaching as our guide.

Drove past earlier in the day but Muggles galore returned after hours and made a quick find TFTC

Easy find in between muggles Good hide. Signed and returned. TFTC.

We spent the day in Bairnsdale today doing as many caches as we could before we headed off towards Sale. This was one of the caches we were able to find in conjunction with caching friends LazzaL. Thanks to B/dale bandits.

Took a seat in front of the building and soon find the cache. Very busy here today. Tftc

Loved this one! I just sat back and relaxed while my boys found this one just finished the grocery shopping and thought we would check it out, very stealth.
