Not only has someone removed the cache container, but they have removed a large piece of wood that the cache was concealed in. Unfortunately this cache has been removed too frequently to risk replacing again in it's original form. Hopefully we will find another location to create an interesting hide.

After replacing the container and logbook a week ago it has unfortunately been taken again. We will temporarily disable for a few weeks and try again. Hopefully the thief will move on.

Found it!
Thanks to the geocache creator, Been a lot of struggle as the geocache keeps getting stolen. Didn’t get to write in the log book but it’s worth the look. Very creative!

The cache container has been replaced and has a new log book.

Found the hiding spot but nothing inside? can someone check please?

done with friends from warragul today
mrs. bluesc@ found it nearly on the first spot!
tftc
cheers

Checked the cache expecting to put a new log book in but thanks to 2Max for the substantial replacement log we didn’t need to.

Another nice location in Warragul, we’ve enjoyed having a look around town today. A very cleverly constructed hide here, but unfortunately the actual cache container was completely empty, so we’ve put in a logbook and bag. Giving a fav point for the ingenuity! SL TFTC

Still fashionably early we had time for another cache...... I changed my coaching high heels to some conveniently brought runners and off we strolled. A quick hunt and we had the great hide in hand. Back to the car, shoes changed and off we head just on time.

Drekly5. Great cache. It was plain view. No wonder I missed it.

Found It ridiculously quickly after the experience of Hardware Heaven. Put my hands on it straight away. Took a little alligator, left a Found It tag.

A great one hidden in plain sight found by children

Took a long time

What greyt camo thank you

What a spot. So good!

Very subtle, and very impressive! Cache was well concealed, and not where we expected (note that we didn't have to go into the garden bed so please don't trample the flowers). I left a bunch of swag for the next finders. TFTC!

Had me stumped for a while but finally found it.

Very clever hide! Only took a few minutes to find.

Found it with elliehodgeee

Looked could not find circled around 5 times took us back to tje same tree

After attending the CITO and caching around town, I, AlphaDeltaIndigo and n0w0rries were beginning to think of starting on our way home. However AlphaDeltaIndigo wanted to see why a few caches in the area had high favourite point counts. This was one such cache.
I walked up to it before AlphaDeltaIndigo had finished extracting the requisite cancer stick and lighting implement from the car and made the find. Once again, AlphaDeltaIndigo witnessed the extraction of the log in time to stamp it with her new custom made stamp.

Cheeky hide, leafotwind was on it like a seagull on a hot chip.
Thanks for the cache de ja vu

Found this awesome cache this afternoon while out trying to find a few last hides in town before it gets too dark. Needless to say it was pretty quiet around the gz this afternoon being quite cool and we sooner had this one in hand after having a closer look about. Well worth yet another fave for the work alone. Happy to be lead up this garden path today!

Away for the weekend with omegaman and Happy pants grabbing a few caches. We signing the logs under the team name HHO.
It started out as a drizzling, cool morning but turned into a reasonable day. This arvo was a sunny arvo, so decided to grab a few in town, while there were only a few muggles about. This was another sneaky little hide took us abit to uncover. Well worth a fav for a great container and hide. Really enjoying doing some of your caches while in the area.
Thanks de ja vu for placing the cache for us to find.

In town just for the weekend for our annual birthday weekend away.

Now this is what caching is all about, great camo in a busy place.
Great work Co and cheers for all your efforts in the construction of your caches.
Favorite point for sure.

Make sure you “post” after you’ve found it . Very tricky

Make sure you “Post” after you’ve found it!

We fond it look for something that isn’t in place. We love posting this find ha ha ha. Never give up even after go get really stressed.

We found it! It was hard to find. Never give up. Even when it gives you post traumatic stress disorder!!!! Ha ha ha

PTSD!!!!! Hahaha

The first geocache of a week travelling throughout Gippsland, and it was a good one to start with. Quiet garden this time, which made the searching much easier. It took a little while, but this one I didn't consciously see anything out of place; I just happened to check the right thing to find the cache. Tricky one for sure; thanks for the cache.

Hooray!!!

That took a few attempts.

So great these kind of finds make expiring so much fun.

Thanks!

The adults couldn't find this one! Thank god we bought along the kids. They were the ones who found it. Be creative when looking.

Sat for a moment and it jumped out at me. Nice hide tftc de ja vu

Had a quick look around this one for the first time today, and had to dodge a lot of muggle activity. No luck today so will be back at a quieter time tftc de ja vu

Nice hide

First find, very clever!!!

TFTC

This one took a while to find. Reading the activity. Finally worked it out!! Nice hide!

Another clever cache.
Found with Melski93.

finally I found this one with my nana after 3 trys!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found it with my nana after a lot of try’s

What a brilliant hide. Found it almost instantly. Great camo. Tftc.

On a 6 day tour of Victoria with Barnzy12. Taking the red eye over from Perth we managed to visit some great places. The main reason for the travel was the Mega event in Alexandra and the opportunity to find 12 cache types in a day.

We originally travelled to Phillip bay, then up through the country side to Alexandra. Spent a few nights staying high in the snowfields and then moved over to Mt Disappointment. We then ended up back where we started returning the hire car at the airport to fly home.

Some quality caches were found all over the state, great to get a real range of cache sizes with some very large caches compared to what’s available in WA and the range of D/T options so close to each other was a bonus.

Thanks to all the Cache owners for you placements and creativity put into hiding and have awarded a few fav points based on this or the location it bought us too.

In Melbourne with Cravo10 to attend the Mega in Alexandra.

We took the red eye from Perth, leaving at 1am Thursday morning, and departed Melbourne early Tuesday morning, so it was a short five day trip.

We managed to snag a couple of nice stats for the trip. First mega event, 12 cache types in a day, 10 lab caches, 50th large cache find, and most importantly my 10,000th find at Mount Disappointment.

We spent the first day on a caching run from
Melbourne to Phillip Island where we had booked into the local caravan park for the evening. We cached all day chasing down a number of the whereigo and puzzle caches from the CF series, before ending the day caching the extremities of Phillip Island, where we had both never been, an amazing part of this country.

Next morning we cached our way to Alexandra which was the main reason for our trip to Melbourne as we had both never managed to attend a mega, which were hoping to rectify in WA next year! Attended the pre event and managed to get a couple of group FTFs by torchlight which was a real highlight.

Saturday we cached in and around Alexandra all day, chasing numbers, the highlight of the day would have to be the birdbox hides around Alexandra and the multi in Bonnie Doon from that famous TV show, a real nice touch!

Sunday was an epic caching day, chasing down 12 types in a day, which required a couple of huge drives to claim some of the rarer icons around. A huge caching stat which is a very rare feat in the Southern Hemisphere. We finished the day travelling to Mount disappointment where we found Melbourne's 1st cache and then started making a dent in the powertrail, finishing by torchlight.

Our last full days caching was spent at Mount Disappointment to chase some big numbers and with a few caches around the burbs for good measure.

Special thanks to all the wonderful COs around Melbourne for their brilliant caches, and to the mega committee for organising a ripper event, hope to be back next year!

Found this one long time ago

My god you guys are just phenomenal. Your caches are just amazing. This one so simple, yet soooo good!!!!TFTC

I am REALLY struggling with this one. I have been a few times with no luck. My gps can't seem to lock onto the coordinates as it moves around which doesnt help. Its getting me really bummed and im not enjoying it. Can anyone give me a bit of a hint?

Short search dismissing certain things led to a great find. TFTC a great cache and idea. A favourite point awarded from us and greetings from the UK

Replaced the logbook with a new one today.

Wow somebody has hissing skills

Needs more paper to sign in it

Looked forever then sat down to think then I looked straight on and grabbed it

Visiting TB's

Very tricky cache it started wriggling the we found it

I think I'm more in tune with this COs MO now. It was in the first place I looked today! Clever hide!

I was nearby at the playground only last week but my chance to find this cache was thwarted then. Today, arriving in town early, I snuck in a couple of caches before I was due to see my patient. This was the first as it's a bit of a green non-smiley wart on my map. I wiggled and wobbled things, pulled and poked, but nothing turned up. Then I saw something different and explored a little further. An excellent cache turned up, TFTC de ja vu!

Looked everywhere, need anyone set of eyes I think

Out today and had a spare 15 minutes, so decided to attempt this one. After searching for 10 minutes I almost walked away. Then I remembered previous posts and took the hint BINGO!...very very clever and am going to mark this as a favourite...Thanks dejavu for a cracker cache

Find no. 1620

Having just done part of a rail trail nearby, we decided to have lunch in town. Whilst doing so we watching the building storm clouds starting to roll in closer. Not wanting to get caught on our bikes out on a trail in the middle of a storm we decided to attempt some of the high favourite point caches nearby.

This one certainly didn't disappoint! Geowife with her excellent eye for detail spotted something that didn't quite make sense when compared to other around gz... sure enough a very well constructed cache was found.

Thanks de Ja Vu for placing this cache.

Favourite point from us.

Found easy just lucky I guess but a great hide... Tftc dejavu

Warragul[?] An event[?] Mega something or other[?] Hmmm, maybe I'd better go and see what this is all about!
How could I say no to a day trip with Cybergran V for an event and some caching in an area where I don't think I have ever cached before!
Lots of fun was had and I even got to hassle a security guard later in the night when I did a virtual cache that unexpectedly popped up on my GPSr screen [^]
I attended 1 event for my first cache find for the day and then found 16 more actual caches
Sometimes though it isn't about the quantity but it's more about the quality and the people that you have shared time with [^]

A lovely area and a cool cache hide that is fairly muggle proof! [^]

TNLN. SL. TFTC de ja vu

It must be my lucky day. Out looking for treasures concealed in strange places, with locus cache, after the 7 Months to the event at Alexandra - Warragul, and for the second time in a row today, I managed to find a cache before her. A most unusual occurrence.
Thanks for this very cleverly constructed cache. I'm very happy to convert another green blob on my map to a smiley face.
Very worthy of another favourite point.

Very creative people in this area. Another great cache. TFTC

What creative people you guys have in this area! Another great looking cache!

Wow love the caches around here a favourite point from me

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

I am visiting Warragul today to attend the "7 Months to the event in Alexandra - Warragul" event. I have not geocached here before and I drove up with 'jeckleberry and tedd' who has previously done a few Warragul caches. This was one of her previous DNFs so she brought me here to see if I could find this sneaky cache. We wandered around the paths near GZ for more than 15 minutes poking and prodding, lifting and replacing but the caches remained hidden Eventually her daughter (Charlibear10) sang out "I found it". I turned around to see something that I had previously closely examined but had not recognised as the cache. We left our marks on the log and then replaced the cache, ready for future searchers.
Thank you de ja vu for my first Warragul and my first Shire of Baw Baw cache.

Find number 6010 at 11:36:23 am
On the way to Warragul for the 7 Months to Alexandra Event and I'm getting an early start to do a few "special" caches on the way down.
Had to dodge an old guy waiting at the bus stop but I'm sure he was blind, well, at least in one eye...
Great hide, first one I've seen.
**Thanks for placing this cache de ja vu**

A favorite from me...

Finally! We have visited this cache so many times. Geokid1 thought at least 6 times. We were in Warragul for the Mega countdown event and since I was bringing Cathlud with me, I knew I'd have to bring her to this cache to use her super sleuth caching skills. My parents live in Warragul, so every time we visit we pop into look for this cache. How on earth did we miss it?? This time we spent a good half hour looking, longer than ever before, and were still getting nowhere. Until Geokid1 (CharliBear10) did something that I was telling her not to do and then she said the magic words "Found it!". How great are those words! Photos were taken to send to Geokid2 and dad so that they could see that we found it without them. They plan to see if they can find it next time we visit.

Thanks so much for the challenge. I'd be happy to never see this garden path again!

After the 7 Months to the event in Alexandra - Warragul event, I had some time to check out the caches around town before heading back down the highway. Ahhh, lovely camo - favourite point added! Thanks for the cache de ja vu.

Nice hide

Finally got it
Found with paulnmax and michelleclerks

Almost gave up on this one! A very clever hide. Loved it!! TFTC

#1986 En Route to Gippsland and called in here to break the journey and find a couple of caches. We appreciate caches a bit different to the norm and the effort that goes into the hide. Funnily enough as we were walking up to GZ I was thinking of a cache hide I'd found some time ago in roughly the same type of terrain and to my surprise this was virrtually an identical hide! Very well done and a fav from us. Thanks de ja vu.

This was a great cache

Found in just a few seconds but sneaky little hide, very clever Tftc de ja vu

Thank you one of the best we have found

Found it

I can say my 99th cache was a goody and I found it is seconds thanks to my Mum and Dad from ArnupFamily. TFTC;)

One of the best caches we've come across!! So smart, thank you!

~PBF

After just finding out how to view/manage favourite points I decided I had been stingy. I'm awarding this cache a favourite point because I've never seen anything like it and it's original. Once again, tftc.

Knowing what De Ja Vu is capable of I went in open minded. Having driven past here everyday for years I was sceptical of how well it could've been hidden, surely I would've seen it in my travels, right? Wrong. After an extensive I put my hand on something that wiggled and probably shouldn't have, sure enough I soon had the log in hand. Thanks for the terrific cache, as always a well hidden hide.

Nice Cache a great day out with SQAU

A very good cammo. On a over night stay at Warragul for a Christmas party.
Found with aqau
Thanks de ja vu

Accurate coordinates and something a little different led to a relatively quick find of a very well designed, constructed and hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks de_ja_vu for a great cache - it earns a favourite from us.

Would never have found this without a hint. Tftc. Great spot. Look at what doesnt quite fit.

Tftc found it and a lizard

Found it, great cache very imaginative!!

Great find. Took us a little bit but got it. Looked at it twice before we realised TFTC

Tftf!

Fast running out of time I had to give up on this one.

Very clever hide. TFTC

Quick Find in a very busy spot. TFTC

Great hide quick bit to eat with Mum & Dad before heading back on our road trip hoilday

I've been eyeing this one off for a while, and drive past it almost every day, but never got around to actually stopping the car. Tonight, I did.

A quick hunt, and accurate work on the part of my trusty fruity GPS, had me looking in the right place, including directly at the cache. However, it took me another 5 minutes of hunting before I returned to GZ and had another look... leaving me wondering how I'd missed it the first time!

Thanks for the clever hide and the cache

TFTC clever hide. I'm getting good at this

GPS spot on good hide and Fav from me also...

On a trip with ceebee2013 to Warragul to see the excursion steam train pass through,then some cache finding. A favourite point for this one. TFTC.
