AMAZING CACHE. Definitely great for the kids to find. I absolutely love this cache

Found this one today while heading out of my campsite at Kurth Kiln area. Nice area and easy to find.

Last cache for the day. TB drop. Tftc.

What a great place for a cache. My daughter and I actually came here a years ago to find this cache but ended up chatting with Bernie at the Light Horse Museum, and he gave us a tour through the place. What a lovely man. Cache here is in good condition. We took a trackable pirate to move on him onwards and left a trackable bat to rest in the dark of the cache. Thanks for this cache

After a bit of a look.... we found the very well hidden amo box. The caretaker of the museum was very friendly too! Another one down and a few more to go. It's a very nice day for a cache adventure. TFTC

A very interesting day in what some people call the outer Eastern suburbs of Melbourne! We worked on collecting more senior karate belts, searched for bunyips around billabongs, remembered the fallen who had served our country in wars past and tried hard not to be side tracked by those interesting old stations.
Enjoyed the cache notes here, they are fascinating.

Sighted trackable - TB60XQ0 'Have you heard? Alexandra is going BiG!'

Thanks to TeamThommo for placing caches in interesting locations.

I use this road several times each year, and I have always planned on checking out this place. Caching in the area today with Ronice88, we just had a quick look from the outside, and found the log in excellent condition.
Thanks TeamThommo.

Not missed - and wow and a fave for memories as my Grandfather was in the Lighthorse.signing up as a 17 year old in WWI Happened to team up with the ever organised and fun Crustyvarmint for a few hours of caching enroute to the BIG event at BUNYIP! I might be from higher altitudes but still enjoy the magnificent rolling green hills and natural environment. TFTC and FUN!

Said hello to Bernie and his worker...they are currently renovating and hoping to get the museum back up and running and open to the public soon. Cache located and signed retrieved 2 travel bugs. Hope to one day return and have a browse. TFTH.

Nice quick find in the grass. Had a good chat with Bernie. He was kind enough to show me through the old museum here. Thought it also appropriate to leave Sophies unicorn trackable with the horses nearby.

I found this cache today on our Auslan Asparagus Tour in company of Pprass. Just a few extra caches on the way home. A nice and large cache that was very well hidden in the long grass. Thanks for the series from D B-A

Found at 3:40 PM GAFF3 in the company of Rabbitto.
Some very familiar photos in that collection - thanks for putting them together in this cache description.
The cache area was very overgrown and hid the large ammo can very nicely.
Thanks TeamThommo.

Nice spot thanks

TFTC... Still in excellent condition! TB dropped, good luck on your caching adventures...

Easy find. We were sad to find out that the museum is no longer open.

Good cache! Thanks so much!

Nice easy find, lots of long, wet grass to contend with though. Thanks

A quick Park and grab today. Shoes are totally drenched now from the long grass. Thanks for the cache TeamThommo.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

A quick and easy find as the museum was opening for the day.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

It had to expand its Search Radius!

Quick easy find in very long wet grass. I now have very wet shoes
Thanks for the cache. TeamThommo
Caching with Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

This yet another road we would not have ventured along if it wasn't for geocaching!

We had to head into Cranbourne to see a mate about a business deal but on our way back to our caravan at Bunyip, we dropped past this cache. A simple find in an interesting place where we could drop off the trackable [Golf and Travel](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=c15decc4-4486-448b-871c-792ca06a464a) to continue it's journey. We may have to come back during opening hours to investigate further.

*Cache find # 10614.*

After attending an event in Berwick this morning, I decided to head down the road a little further to find some more caches that I haven’t got around to finding yet.
I am forever seeing this one on the map but I never seem to go near it so today I made sure that I did.
I never knew this museum was here but I have watched the movie with the same name which was very good.
At GZ today, the cache was spotted with ease but with its D rating that is to be expected, the log was signed and I was off to the next one.

**Thanks to TeamThommo for placing this cache.**

Find 2285
Didn’t know this attraction was here. Parked safe and a short search had the cache in sight. Lg signed and all back safe again.
Thanks for putting this cache out there.

Found this one with SciFiRulz as team nicnax TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch on a warm Christmas evening. TFTC

On our way down to Moe so took the chance to look for some smileys on the way. This one took us a while as our GPS's wouldn't settle. We eventually found the cache. Such a shame that we didn't know of this museum when if was operational as it is something that we would have been interested in visiting. Thanks for the cache.

SKI Pair had finally returned after five months over seas and a quick plan was made to go caching, there were some new ones at Garfield I wanted to go find to boost my finds on Days caches and I had a few solved Puzzles around Pakenham to find, several others were found along the way. The weather was perfect for caching and we had plenty of laughs along the way. A quick find here, I must return and check out the museum.

Thanks TeamThommo for the cache.

After a lengthy trip overseas for nearly 5 months with only some sporadic caching in some of the countries we visited we have finally returned home.
With the taken out to catch up with children and grandchildren as well as the garden at home it was now timely to catch up with our good friend Rebel Acts and do some caching. A plan was hatched at short notice to meet up with him and then head down to the Garfield / Pakenham area and see what we could come up with.
Our last cache for the day and a wonderful size.
Sadly we had to disappoint the bloke at the museum, but it was getting late in the day and we needed to get home so couldn't visit.
TFTC

Over on the big island catching up with the toolman and this was one of the one's he took us too, after telling us he was FTF on this one he left us to find it on our own, he told us the story of the place as we signed the log.

thanks for the cache.

The best caches I have found so far by type are:-

Over in Vic for the weekend with stainless steel rat to catch up with 1Toolman. He told us about his first to find effort here and also explained what happened at the premises here which is disappointing.Hopefully it can be sorted out and reopened. That was all forgotten for a brief moment as we found this nice big cache!
Thanks TeamThommo

Out on the hunt for a few caches, Ms Smokey-bear and myself compared what I had vs what she had. We moved on-wards from our previous cache, towards this one. Once here, it was a quick pick up and we were off towards home. TFTC

Found it. Old man came out. Then went back inside

Found with Nutterbagsaus

Awesome container ,would live to see this museum open.. Found with Cached Up Mummies on our road trip from cairns

Found with MonkeyMann007 Left a koala bear took a badge.
Hoping the museum opens again soon

My great grandfather was in the Field Artillery in the First World War, and was awarded a Military Medal (and a promotion) for saving the second driver whilst under fire. Therefore, MontsII particularly likes this museum. Today he asked if we could detour past to see if “Bernie” was open again. He is still closed for renovation, unfortunately. But we were pleased to see that there is an appropriate cache here TFTC TeamThommo

Unable to find the last one wanted to finish with a find and was passing this cache and made a quick stop to collect a smilie. Was looking at the black box and then rad the description which pointed me in the right direction. Tftc

*28 Aug 2018, Found @10:07 pm, Find # 2007.*

Wanting to finish the night with one more smilie we stopped here. A black box caught our eye, but it wasn't until we read the description that we found the real object we were looking for.

**Thanks to TeamThommo for placing this cache.**

I headed out specifically to grab this cache. It had been raining but it had stopped for a few minutes. Ended up grabbing 5 semi local caches and most of them in the rain.

No one around at this time, found the cache quickly. Logged and replaced. As I was driving off I saw a man pop out the door for a look and then pop back in.

Thanks TeamThommo

Since moving from New Zealand 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
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go 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.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Quick find! TFTC

I headed out early today to target this cache and try to finish The Slog series. I had no idea that this museum existed. It is currently closed for renovations, but as I started to search, a door opened and an employee said something which I didn't understand. I told him I was looking for a geocache and he was fine with that and went back inside. A quick find of a very good size container. I'll have to return when the museum reopens.

SL TFTC

Thank-you to TeamThommo for placing this geocache

After reading the map upside down like I always do when I'm in Pakenham, I didn't end up at the cache I was looking for. So I decided I'd head towards home. I saw the sign for this place and thought "surely there's a cache there" and sure enough ...
I didn't realise the place was shut down, but saw the cache was still there.
The owner came out all apologetic. I think he might have been a little disappointed that I hadn't, in fact, come to visit the museum. I felt a bit sorry for the guy
Well TFTC anyway.

Out caching with Poiter.h for the day, off to get the new DirtBag cache and earthcache up Mr Cannibal, after doing them we decided to grab some other caches around the area. Meet the owner of the museum and had a chat with him about the council closing him down. Sl and discovered tb. Thanks Team Tommo for the cache.

Found whilst out caching with Bounty Trackers.
Had a chat to the owner Bernard, about the Museum and how the council had closed it down.
He's hoping it will reopen soon.

Found this one with our 3 year old son....TFTF.

Today we explored Tynong North 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. Took 2 TBs.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out with the Swaggies. Find 1549 at 11 August 2017 12:13 pm. Sorry to see the museum is closed. Met a few guys from it when I did a Victorian Collections cataloguing workshop at MAV

After the last cache, we were hoping this was an easier find and it was. Museum was closed for renovations, hopefully back on line soon. No one about so we left our mark and headed off.
TFTC TeamThommo

Found the log and made a couple mates with some long nosed greats

Left 2 TBs and took 1, which I'm sure I've had before. Two nearby cache guardians provided a ruse for being there.

Kids had a ball too used to looking for small caches walked passed this one 5 times

Found today after a last minute decision to do some caching today. Turns out the day is beautiful... tftc

A nice quick find, which brought us to an interesting location.

***Cache container and log in good condition***
*Thanks for placing this log TeamThommo ***

Working on this road today so took the opportunity to collect this on my lunch break. Tftc

12/02/2017 8:58:00 AM - A bit of a rain won't stop a caching run. Today I teamed up with my caching friend Square_pegs and headed out this way for some exploring and to find this cache, which is cache #1 for the day. Great to see a large container for me to start my day with. That earns it a favourite point.

Thanks TeamThommo Cache is good condition and has spot on co-ordinates.

Heading eastward along the Princes Freeway today exploring the area with abl973, this was our first stop for the day. A good sized container, I always enjoying opening one of these. The mural on the shed was interesting too.
Oh and lots of different information on the cache page too!

Thanks to TeamThommo.

Found this cache first thing this morning, and no-one in attendance so got in and out easier enough.
Loved learning about the animals in the war and have been to this museum a number of times.
Don't think these cache guardians were ever used in a war however.
Thanks for the cache Team Thommo

A quick find for me. No sighting of George today. Interesting history in the cache notes, my Grand Father served in the Light Horse and fought in France during WW1. I will watch with interest for the museum to open again.

Quick find today. Loved the cache description info. Had the owner of the museum come out for a chat & were updated on the status of the temporary closure of the museum. Hopefully open again soon. TFTC .

Out caching with sixy2sue, looks like an interesting place but wasn't open when we were there. An easy find. Thanks for the cache

11 caches before 9 am! A great team effort - thanks Waferthin! A favourite for the cache information!

Took tb Hoping for a day of smiley faces

This is certainly a place I didn't know about and thanks for all the info in the description. There was a lot there I've never heard before. The cache is in good condition and easy to find. Gates were locked and there was no sign of the caretaker. Thanks TeamThommo. A favourite too

The museum didn't look too open today, we'll have to come back another time. A fascinating story, the Light Horse, I love it. Thanks for a nice big cache, too.

Attempting 60 consecutive days of treasure finds. This was todays only one with geodaughter. A quick drive out to get fuel was done with this as an opposite way detour. Saw Bernie telling him we were looking for something. We got an ok and see ya in return. Left a singing girl and a tb (travelling boomerang). Took the turtle and a tb (trekker boot).

A quick easy find. Left a TB to continue its journey. TFTC

All quiet today only a few motorbikes parked in the car park.
A quick find signed and returned. Thanks TeamThommo FTC.

Yeehaa! I have a soft spot for horses.. As a child all my friends had one of their own. To say I was jealous would have been an understatement. I did however get to ride with them often and once we had one in our back garden for a few weeks (we only had a residential house..lol).

Thanks TeamThommo for bringing me here, Ill be back to check out the surrounds really soon

Another one the RZ found today with 4BNinjas. He had an awesome time with them today. I personally really enjoyed reading all the facts about the war animals. Thanks. Quite a bit of work there. SL. Once again TFTC TeamThommo

I often ask myself, what makes a favourite spot? I have been to some where people have put a lot of time and effort but the hide was obvious and I just didn't have that wow feeling but my boys beg me to allocate a favourite point. When this cache was published, ( before even physically finding it) I knew it was already a favourite. At night I often, just tap away on the ipad and I read, I read the page description and logs and this cache page was brilliant reading. I was introduced to a lot of information that I would've never had sourced out, and let me tell you. I've already used some information in conversations. So when we pulled up, I knew from my reading that it was an obvious position but that didn't stop my boys plus a very keen buddy, jumping out of the car before I had even placed the car into park and they start rubbing the black boxes at the front gate like maniacs. I was yelling at them, BOYS STOP !!!!!!! They were yelling back saying but its it. NO !!!!!! STOP !!!!! Move away before you break something, I need you to listen to me. As I had realised they were rubbing the sensor bell to the property. OH MAN. Naturally the owner came out, and thank god I had read the description because I could the apologise to him but his first name. I asked him about this place because it looked so interesting and it all made sense ...... which makes the my favourite point even easier to reward. Great information on cache page, great location, great cache (It's so nice to find a large cache) . Once again thank you for your beautiful mind.

The Geo kids gave Geo dad a new GPS for fathers day, so what else should you do on fathers day but go and find a Cache, we knew we had missed out on the 1st to find, but decided this was a good one to go for. Geo daughter was to ill to work, but decided she was still ok to go and find a cache, I may have to ring her bosss.

Anyhow the GPS got us to within 20 metres of the cache, but just as we pulled up someone walked out of the building over to there car not far away, so we waited them out and eventually the GPS got us to within 1 metre of the cache, not that we needed it as it was very obvious.
A quick open, and sign of the log and away we went.
Thanks for the cache and the bold hide.
Also dropped of a Travel Flower Geocoin to finally continue its journey.
