Thanks for the cache, fun find. Log is pretty damp but is still sign-able

The views are epic. We went up to the lookout and shot the attached shot. Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks ms-enchantress and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! Some logs signed as TAD as teamed up with Tenkae and Deanside for additional fun. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Check stop gps little off with RedNotes

Found with DottyDoo2024

We did our best, to no avail!I did do some roadside weeding, though!

Found this cache along with the random disused tennis courts.

Gave up hit some other caches and came back on way home, found dead lorikeet, 1 copper head and stuck my whole arm in the creepy hole in the tree( for nothing). Decided to trust gps location and went back to first spot I looked in the less creepy hole. Log is quite wet but good hide.

Good hiding spot

The day was forecast to be one of those rare pleasant days in winter... so I took the opportunity to drive down to South Gippsland Shire and Baw Baw Shire to hunt out a few caches... the things you do when you take on *LGA Challenges*...

With the afternoon starting to creep away, it was time to start heading north... and several stops to find caches around Strzelecki... including a stop for this cache... which turned out to be a bit of a longer stop than expected... it took a fair amount of searching before I hit upon the location of the cache.

Thanks **ms-enchantress** for keeping this cache going.

Find 3142
We spent quite a bit of searching for this one and nothing was presenting.
Kept coming back to a spot we had checked previously.
Finally the sneaky well hidden cache was discovered.
Log signed and all back safe as found.
Thanks

A quick find headed along the back roads for... well, I've decided I need dog food, and warragul looked to have a lot of unfounded caches. Ok, there's a highway between my place and there, but that's n not half the fun.
This cache is in n good condition, but will need a new log sheet soon. I love how victoria plants yes for memorials. Very pretty.

Too snakey, we were met by an enormous tiger snake as we rounded the tree. Gave up from that point!

Strzelecki Views was transferred from de ja vu to user ms-enchantress

The wind was a big deterrent. Will have to try again.

Enjoying the drive in the hills and starting to head back towards home now.
Plenty of space to park here.

Started the search and then thought along the lines of where would I hide it? Found in the first spot I checked after that thought.

Thanks de ja vu

Nice one.

Yeh finally. Looked here many , many times. Thanks

Cute

Outing for the day I had a great time finding your cache de ja vu, thank you so much for placing it.

Clever hide carefully guarded by some spiders so had to have a grab of faith to retrieve. Love your work de ja vu

Another great year of geocaching was concluding, heralded not only by the usual fireworks scheduled for midnight, but also surefoot24's NYE event at a far earlier hour of the day!
The weather was heating right up, but with the Astra's aircon blasting and a Maxibon consumed just before the event kicked off, there was nothing buhfuhguh and I couldn't handle with a nice collection of caches in the surrounding region found prior to arriving in Nyora.

There were a lot of spots to check around here, so we got to work right away and initially strayed a bit further from gz than we should have.
A slight readjustment and we were getting closer, though with still a considerable amount of hiding possibilities to work through.
It was then that buhfuhguh noticed something a little unusual a short distance from where we were, went to investigate and subsequently uncovered the cache!
This is a very clever placement, certainly a bit tricky but I'm glad to have found it in the end!

Thanks to de ja vu for placing this cache here!

Out and about today with Brainiac03 for another day of caching and another event and final event for the year. We'll another year ends a new one begins.

With this little cluster around to be the main focus for the pair of us today we proceeded all in all with no real stress or drama.

Thanks for the caches, the laughs and the adventures

We found it! Don't need to go as far as you think.

This hide took quite a while! We spent a lot of time looking over and obvious place but it was not until we moved on after trusting the GPSr a bit more that we were able to make the find. Even then, it was very well hidden.

It has been a while since we have neen able to get out caching. What with Covid lockdowns, then Mrs SKI breaking her ankle, and Rebel being out of action we have had quite a gap.
But today everything came together. The weather was lovely and everyone was available to head out.
We had noticed a number of new caches had popped up in the Leongatha area, so that added to a few high D/T rated caches in the area was enough to have us heading in that direction.
A successful day was had with only one DNF and as usual plenty of laughs and banter.
All logs either signed as SKI Pair or RASP (Rebel Acts & SKI Pair)

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cachede ja vu.
**SKI Pair****

Stumped us.

I couldn’t find this one, which is a bit of a bummer - but I’ll be back!

Haha cheeky and tricky, we loved it

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.

A very tricky hide. I had looked at this spot before and discounted it but decided to take a closer look after not being able to locate it elsewhere.

Thanks de ja vu for the cache.

Couldn't find this one the other day and almost missed it again today. But found it thid time. Obviously place but didn't see the ...
Another great view. Pic here was taken just down the road. TFTC

Massive trees in the Avenue of Honor

With the restrictions eased and after being stuck at home since march I decided to arm Myself with plenty of gloves and a litre of hand sanitizer and head out in to the country side to do some caching, I was joined by my caching mate Omegaman 1971 we did a big loop from Warragul through PooWong around to Nyora and then back over the Korumburra Road to Warragul, some magic country side and views in this area to enjoy on what was a nice sunny day.

Thanks de ja vu for the cache.

It was great to be back out hunting caches in the sun with my caching buddy Rebel Acts.
I'm happy he knows this area because I was absolutely lost.
The most important tool we had this weekend was the large bottle of hand sanitiser which was used before and after every find.
Had such a great time catching up with Rebel and getting back into the swing of caching.
Can't wait to come back and explore the area again.
Cheers for the cache.

Yes

Quick find on the way home from a big day of geo caching... TFTC

Pulled up here and there was a muggle working at the nearby church. It took us a little while to find the cache but we were a little distracted with the cutest of llamas and horses and ponies that were putting on a show for us. Thanks for the cache.

Out for caching day around Poowong and surrounds with a friend. A lot on interesting stuff here - beautiful houses, farms and awesome views. Saw cattle, sheep, llamas, fox, and more. Also saw a dead snake. I received interesting information about ragwort, stone fruit and fox. I had a great time finding your cache de ja vu, thank you so much for placing it.

Huge trees at this spot.
Thanks for the cache

While my wife ran the Hallora marathon, 999HK and myself thought we would collect a number of caches in the area. We knew it would take her some time to run the 42 km from Hallora to Drouin, to Warragul, then back to Drouin and back to Warrigul where we would cheer her over the finish line. Got to be happy with 22 Smileys and 0 DNFs.

Very small little town. The avenue of honor could do with some TLC. But then it does match the tennis courts the way it is.

Thanks for the cache de ja vu

Nice quick find!
Found these type before made it easier.
Fantastic views!

Today we did a maintenance check on the cache. We replaced the wet logbook.

Nice little hide and we were glad to find this quickly after our DNF at the previous cache. A wet n windy day, so not great for views, but it’s always fun to be out caching. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC

Found after a bit of scrabbling around in the weeds. The log was very wet so dried it as much as possible and had the log signed and replaced as found. Thanks DejaVu for yet another cache with great views worth the stop.

Small

No Smiley for us today, Even the horse in the paddock didn't give a clue

Many places it could have been hidden, but coords were spot on and log successfully signed. May have been nice views, but not in the mist today. tftc.

I swear I looked there the last time! Obviously having buttons for eyes does not help in this game. Thanks to CO. FP added for reminding me that there is "looking" and then there is "seeing".
.

Scratched around a fair bit here, but no joy for me.

Easier than we thought. Plenty of hiding spots for a nano

Smoky haze obscuring the views today. Tftc

Replaced wet log

Finally catching up on logs, I'm not enjoying the Geochaning app I was previously using, could have sworn I logged this one, I'm finding Cachley much more reliable. Anyway I found this one when I was running early for work, I usually sit in my car and eat junk food while I wait for work to start, thats not doing anything for my waistline so I decided finding a few caches up the road a little would be a good way to stop the munchies, didn't work, just meant I ate while I drove to this cache! I should have taken more advantage of being in the area as there are still a few to find and I quit my job down the road, oh well, I'll have to find an excuse to come for a drive again!
TFTC de ja vu, much appreciated. Noted a black snake near GZ

Today was a full day of work meetings in Korumburra. After that was all done I took advantage of the long summer evening to find a few caches around the place and on my way back to my hotel in Warragul. I think this took a wee while to locate. All good in the end though. TFTC, Biggles.

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!

That took a bit longer than it should have, finally found it though. Sooooo freezing cold up here with the wind chill of about -50° SL TNLN TFTC

Visiting TB's

Today we explored Ellinbank and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Heading off to Wonthaggi in the geomobile for an appointment. Taking an extra day because we could. Nice views and a good hide
Thanks for the cache de ja vu TNLN SL

Quick cheeky find

Found with paulnmax
Nice hide

TFTC! Easy find in the rain!! Geo family over it !! We solider on!!

I saw the tree damage but after a short search I found the prize... Tftc Dejavu

Thanks for the photos Echo & Spice. I am pleased to report that the cache should not be effected by this tree damage.

26/1/17 Visited at 13:34

Not sure if it is still intact with the tree at GZ having been ripped apart.
Will add a Pic.

("\(0o0)/") No luck today, we'll have to have another crack at it next time.

What a great place love the views tftc found with apple460

Stopped to have a look today but there was a guy working right in the wrong place. It will wait for another day.

Fourth or fifth time lucky? This has been a nemesis cache for me!

Found with Surefoot24. This one had evaded her but this time I came up trumps. TFTC

Clever hide tftc

Jut what the doctor ordered. Tftf

A nice find one a miserable afternoon drive home. The wind was strong and cold, and the rain was coming in sideways. A typical de ja vu hide... clever! TFTC de ja vu - always a pleasure searching for yours, and nice to find them.

Found it. Had been left a little too obvious so attempted to hide it a little better.

Great spot for a cache, on way back to cape Paterson for a Sunday drive

Out caching areas never visited before and loving it.
Went first to the obvious but it wasn't long before Boris was all over this one. I like cheeky little hides
Thanks de ja vu for the cache and bringing us here.

A lovely country drive today with my muggle pokemonning son.
Son found this when he went to investigate the clicking noise.
Such a lovely area. Kookaburras laughing at us. Thankyou for bringing us here today. TFTC TNLN.

Replaced the full log today.

That was ridiculously easy second time around. Just had to get out of my head what type of hide my preconceived ideas had me looking for. The log was slightly damp, but not so bad it couldn't be written on. TFTC.

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. All was as described in the description. A clever hide. TFTC

Found whilst out and about with misschief18 and Bentley TB - very wet underfoot but, a very easy if sneaky cache

Yes it was sneaky and had looked once already.....just before we were about to leave I took another gander....Woohoo! Tyftc. out on adventure day with recently converted geosister.

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. The second leg of our journey was a fabulous 9 days in Tasmania. Having then returned to Melbourne we set off on the third leg of our journey, which is to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory (where we are heading to at present), Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

We found this nicely hidden cache after a brief search. The views along the road today are particularly stunning in the warm bright sunshine. Thanks so much for the cache.

Out having fun with The Swaggies attempting to complete the Strezleki rail trail series. 18/May/2016 16:43 find 1070 for me.

Out with Yorsys on our usual Wednesday caching day. This time we thought we would finish the S2SRS series as well as pick up any other caches that we might come across. There were some tricky caches in this second series, some we missed on which we will pick up next time.
This one did take us a while given that our GPS's could not agree on the right location to search. Must have been the cold weather today.
TFTC dejavu.

No view for us today while getting this one passed threw so much fog that thats all we could see tftc with geodude#74

Another nice quick find with Lilmissgeo. Very foggy today so no views from here.
TFTC!

Sneaky cache makes caching fun. Tftc

Sneak One. No 9 for the day. TFTC

Tftc. Great spot. Sneaky hide.

Riding my motorbike through Gippsland and decided to stop and admire the view. Checked the phone for any nearby hide and this was 6 meters away. Cache Guardian came out fighting as I made the grab, retreated back a little as it was BIG. Found a tool to aid in the cache retrieval and put on my bike gloves just in case. Logged my find, admired the view and took photo's of the guardian, back to the motorbike for the ride to my next stop.
