Bay Trail - The Only Way Is Up Rosebud, Victoria, Australia
By BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear on 18-May-13. Waypoint GC4AGR9

After receiving yet another ‘health check’ email from groundspeak I went to check on this one.
THE CACHE WAS STILL THERE!!!
I have removed it and am archiving it because I’m soooooo sick of getting these emails

Out and about with echidna44 and au-fait for the day ticking off some in this wonderful beach location. The weather was not looking to nice but it did not dampened the crew. Having parked a car at one end we are now in for the walk. The best about doing this in the off season and not so good weather is that not many people are around. Search for quite a while and had to accept a DNF for this one. We shall return. Thanks for the variety and quality of these caches BorisB&Natasha & Nut Bear

Out for a day in the great company of echidna44 and xambo4u to do a section of the Bay Trail and of course collecting caches along the way with an ambitious list ahead of us. A car shuffle had 14 caches between us and lunch, which had us picnicking in a shower. Following this a further shuffle with another 14 on our list. A lovely walk, and excellence in both the quality of the caches and the company made for a memorable No matter how hard we looked here we couldn’t find this one TFTC BorisB&Natasha & Nut Bear

Couldn’t find it

Picked it by accident lol TFTC

Despite a thorough search, no luck here today.

Too wet yesterday..
came back when rain stopped.
TFTC

OzHockeyChick and I were back to finish off the very cool Bay Trail. After waiting ages in the car for it to stop raining, we headed down here. Had to be quiet as there were people in a tent nearby, and we weren't able to find anything here.
At least we're consistent, our first Bay Trail cache last time was a DNF too!

TFTC

Einfach nur Genial

Tftc

Good hide

On an evening stroll through the campground and I realised I'd left a cache gap, one unfound in amongst a few smileys.
I noticed a couple of dnfs prior to us coming by and was prepared to have to leave the non smiley in place for another day.
So I was pleasantly surprised when I walked up to gz and spotted it straight away!
Then realised we had no pen. so we etched any RJ one the log with a piece of charcoal burned wood. Weve since returned and signed the log with pen.
Thanks for the cache.

And then my fun came to a grinding halt while I searched and searched and searched.... tfth

Sadly another DNF

TFTC

We're out for a walk with some muggle friends and decided to show them a few geocaches, see if we could tempt them into becoming cachers as well. Thanks for giving us a reason to come out for a walk on this lovely sunny afternoon.

We were just about to DNF when i spotted it just above geowifeE. Had a chat with Mark the homeless guy living real close. He's possibly gonna get a bit paranoid soon tho with so many people coming here looking.

Bugger... muggles sitting almost on top of GZ.

TFTC! We’ve been here a few times and couldn’t find it

??

With the geokids having fun scouring the assortment of multi limbed trees. There were having such a blast that they requested to come back to this fabulous tree area again. Meanwhile I had quickly laid my hand on the required item and we quickly had our hands on the cache.

Thanks BorisB&Natasha for the cache.

Here’s to cache number 331. Let the fun continue.

Sometimes you just see it.. sometimes you dont .. I initially put my hand on it without realizing what it was TFTC

Nice one

getting through these hides with great fun and laughter - with pp7- tflc- yay

It was in the first and last spot I looked. Tftc Nice camo

Having a day out getting a few more from one of my favourite series. This was the first find of the day, (and first crawl under a tree)

Nice camo.
TFTC.

11/4/18 not found today
Dingo’s

11/4/18 just about to leave and hubby sees it on the ground, don’t think it was meant to be here have put back up. Hopefully right spot
Dingo’s

Nice walk and found it nice shot

"The only way is up, baby." and that is how we felt when we found cache. TFTC BorisB&Natasha and Nut Bear.
Chiefton

Ugghh, more sand.
Quick and easy find though.
TFTC

Tricky but found.

Very nice hide, with so many that suited the clue and GPS having trouble under the canopy it took me a while to locate.

Enjoying these caches. Out caching with m&d?
Thanks BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear

SQAU and myself jumped on our bikes to find some of the caches along this trail, sadly the day wasn't quite warm enough for swimming but there were still people out sun bathing.
Great caches.
Thanks!

So the trail is here. And the cache is over there. Somewhere in those bushes. Bike abandoned and some gentle bush bashing needed. Found the cache, and then found the way back to the bike. Phew!

Took four of us to find this but got there in the end even after my Brother saying he'd check lol you know what I mean Stephen xxx

Found this one yesterday whilst out with the Geoboy. Had to collect my daughter from Rye so the perfect excuse to leave home early and collect a few of the previously missed or DNF's. We managed to collect a handful so greatful for a few more smiley faces. TFTC BorisB&Natasha & Nutbear.

Found by Zahir the junior catcher! Lovely spot. TFTC

Find #3484

A pleasant Friday morning before work and as I had a meeting down this way I was able to tackle a few bay trail caches first. As usual for me it was mixed success on this great series with four finds out of the nine that I searched for. This was my first find and after parking the car a little further east I walked back to tackle a few along this section. A DNF prior dampened my spirits and so I was really pleased to make the find here after a short search. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and this great series BorisB&Natasha and Nut bear.

Nice easy cache pick up after. Tft

Found it. Actually the 7 yo found it. Stoped for the playground when hubby says I'm shocked u don't have ur phone out looking for nearby caches. Out comes the phone and my 2 boys and I set off!

??????

Found!!

Bay Trail - The Only Way Is Up was transferred from Nut bear to user BorisB&Natasha

My sharp eye found this one ...... of course I used the cheat hint. Shhhhhh, they will never know, mum likes getting finds too.

Log replaced with a new waterproof one

2 down!! Quick find!! Log is very moist and
I don't have a spare!! tftc

Awesome hide, however paper was extremely wet and I didn't want to risk writing on it

A good tricky hide!! Log paper is soggy wet and i log in with another paper with a soggy paper inside... TFTC

Found it , very sneaky hide. I'm hoping there is no clue here as the log is extremely wet and very damaged.Tftc

Caching with nyochi on this blustery day.. she had been playing with it and didn't even realise she had the cache until i picked it up.

FOUND IT :3 i had to play with before i realised but hey still found it!

found ok. a good hide

TFTC

Another brilliantly simplistically constructed cache. Looked about for some time before spotting that little something not quite right, there it be.. thanks..!!

Looks like some kids or adults even have been playing with the cache. I was looking for it and put my hand on it a few times before realising it was actually the cache.
Signed and replaced in the area according to hint.

Thanks Nut bear

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.

#6867 After a nice weekend in Sydney 50 degrees so are we back in Melbourne for more meetings and caching. Our goal in Sydney was to find the oldest cache in Australia. But of course did we logg some more caches in the city. Today did I and Rokkan take a trip down here to find some caches. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

Out and about with 4bait and Mark9375 on a hot summers day with plenty of muggles going about their business. Quickish find. TFTC

Clever disguise. TFTC

Found it

Today we continued to look for caches along the Bay Trail. This cache was found after a short hunt. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Nut_bear for the cache.

Quick find on a blistery day. Best day to do this cache as in a couple of months it will get a lot more busy. Great hide. Thanks for the cache

Out walking again this morning and we were able to collect another 7 finds of the series
Caches continue to be of an excellent standard. Many thanx to Nut bear&BorisB&Natasha

Final getting time to do the famous Borisb&natasha and Nut Bear bay trail on a gorgeous day with Poiter.h Sl thanks Borisb&natasha and Nut bear for the great series.

After talking about doing the Borisb&natasha and Nut Bear bay trail with Bounty Trackers for nearly 2 years, we finally got around to doing it.

[Scrat](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=4376822) visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Thank-you Borisb&natasha and Nut bear for this great series.

Another quick find by torchlight. Time to head home.
T4TC.

Another find of the series, thanks again Nut bear

Great! Love these that are right in front of your eyes and everyday they go unnoticed! So extremely clever. TFTC and all of your effort

Easy to miss but wasn't able to hide from us. Tftc

#150. Enjoying these caches. TFTC.

Sneaky hide. Tftc

MazzyMay was visiting for the weekend so we decided to continue our assault on the Bay Trail. A few different sorts of caches had us hopping around a bit. TFTC

Possibly signed as Nicnax2 with WeRAmused. Good to have another walk along this trail. Love being at the beach as live in the country so not many opportunities. Love the caches in natural camo. TFTC

Up early and grabbing a few caches before breakfast and before there are too many muggles about. A quick find was made with the clue.
Thanks Nut bear for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.
#3519

Duh duh duh another cache bites the dust hahaha, woohoo. Well today didn't start off as planned. I woke up at my usually time to catch the bus to Clayton and I realised something was a little off and it would prevent me from getting to uni....... Twas raining. Anyway I decided to wait out the rain and saw that the BoM were showing that it would stop soon enough, I took that opportunity and quickly road my bike to the bus stop then realised I was an hour early haha . Well what else could I do with my spare time hahaha. This was one of four caches that I found today and I loved them all . I'm writing this up as I make my way to uni now. Thanks for the cache and the clearing up of the weather.

**OCW Ali600, we had a couple of hours free this morning, what better way than to grab a few surpurb caches. Wish we had more containers like these in Sydney.**

Nice one!

We went the long way around to get to this one. Once in the right spot we found it fast and it looked as we suspected. Great camo. TFTC

Found it

found it with all the family! very good hide

It had just gotten dark when I reached this cache.
The coordinates were also all over the shop taking me everywhere within about 10m of GZ
The amount of multi branched trunks I spotted was also overwhelming
I knew exactly what I was looking for due to previous logs, but I just couldn't seem to find the right tree and the right camo in the dark with my weak torch.

Oh well its about to be time to go anyway! Getting tired! Thanks

***********BAY TRAIL - PART 1***********

Today I teamed up with OsWells and Super H and Tim (making #TeamBrainiac03) to get some Bay Trail and surrounding caches by bike. It was a successful day with finding 18 caches by bike with a 100% success rate of no DNFs. Thanks to all COs that hid the containers that made our day so enjoyable. Hopefully we'll be back soon to grab more along the Bay Trail.
******************************************

VERY GOOD! Extremely clever hide. Good use of sticks and bison tubes.

TFTC, Brainiac03 and #TeamBrainiac

I was searching and searching while Tag-along came up with the goods - only after 5 mins of searching mind you. Nice neat hide here.
TFTC Nut Bear

Very nicely done. Great hide

Good camo TFTC

Now I'm fairly new at this but I think this cache was a fabulous hide! TFTC

Wow. Clever hiding. I'm impressed

First people on note!!!!

Log has been replaced and a new o ring fitted.

This cache is missing its o-ring, it is getting fairly damp in the wet. I think it might needa check up.

What a cache this is, off the path and hidden so well, the camouflage is absolutely amazing. It looks so real.

The cache was fairly damp, possibly because it was missing its o-ring, might need to check up on it.

We are loving this series, thanks heaps.

Took awhile to find this one fits right in with surroundings Found without GPS it wasn't working. Found yesterday but couldn't log on.
