Found, Signed TFTC

We have set off on our annual winter escape but with no real plans other than a set of ideas.Our first stop is Bendigo, a place we haven't visited for any length of time in the past. There appears to be much to see and a good variety of caches to keep us entertained.We met up with our caching buddies Rebel Acts and Omegaman for a few days as well which added to the laughs and fun.Somewhat sadly, today was the day we all had to head home, us for an appointment but we will soon be back.Caches logged as RASPOM or SKI Pair if they had already found them.This is one of the caches we have found to date.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache gen_gen.**SKI Pair****

Out and about with omegaman and ski pair around the Bendigo and Echuca area, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today.Logs signed as RASPOMThanks gen_gen for the cache.

I'm hitting the road again with my Rebel Acts and Ski Pair to have some fun and explore new places. While I don't mind caching locally, there is nothing like a road trip for a few days putting smiles on the map. I had a great time with lots of laughter and caching fun. Today's logs are signed as RASPOM.

Definitely not the most convincing hide I've ever seen! I'm not sure how this doesn't get muggled being so obvious that something isn't right here but hey the main thing is we found, signed and replaced with no problems! TFTC!!

Sorry to the bugs, grubs, and spiders I disturbed replacing the cache. It looked like a wonderful home in there Thanks for the find

Quick find and pay tag. Yaaa. Only thing genghicat got it again. Sob. Cache is in good condition. Tftc

Seventh find today and first after lunch. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC

On yet another road trip to Bendigo to see the rellies and we stopped at Heathcote for lunch at our favourite caf and of course find a couple of caches, this being the first. Whilst we didn't see any golfers or kangaroos we did make a quick easy find of the cache. TFTC and showing us more of the area. TNLN SL

Found it

Tftc. Lovely views all round.

Tftc, nice and easy find with lilbassgirl. Only issue was the baby crimson rosella (heard, not seen) in another knot and parents swooped once.

Tftc, found with fourtwelve. Area has little bird babies around so we were very careful not to upset the babies and the parents.

Staying at cp after visiting family at Snake Valley. Muggle hubby surprised me & took me geocaching. Tftc

Found it tftc

Rachel and Paul and Jack found ont the 8/9/23

Away in Ballarat for a few days with Happy pants. We have the opportunity to grab some other caches on our way home.

This was one of the hides that we found while out this area. It was a quick find at GZ.

Thanks for placing this hide and doing the maintenance, so we can make this find.

Found it! Tftc

Easy find, when you have the correct knot hole. TFTHide.

TFTC, need a slightly more natural looking disguise…

Unnatural camo made this an easy find

Tftc fantastic spot

I didn't need to worry about golfers today - just a dog walker & someone who seemed to be following her. I'm glad the cache wasn't in the bird feeder because he wandered off the road to look at & collect it!! It's a wee bit damp & fousty but not too bad. Many thanks

I was hosting a muggle Christmas camp in the Heathcote region this weekend. The weather looked good, the on-site caterers were booked and the presents were wrapped. Hopefully that means a few sneaky caches along the way.

I stopped in here on the way to the campsite and spotted a couple of golf carts touring around the grounds. As I was signing the cache one of the carts came up to the gate.

“Using a phone is cheating” said the man, he obviously knew what I was up to!

He was on his way home (the house opposite!) and had obviously been watching the cache for years given he has lived here for 15 years. We spoke about his incredible garden, which was partly thanks to a council grant!

I eventually finished up signing the log and returning the cache to its home before saying goodbye.

Thanks gen_gen for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Found it! I saw it… as soon as we pulled off to park. There’s a whole bunch of bugs in it though so I didn’t sign the log.

Easy find

Cheers nice find for the girls cheers fairly easy and quick

Tftc ..great spot ️

Great find! My first successful geocaching discover. Be wary of a local trapdoor spider and grumpy rosella.

Be careful when unearthing the container as there is a trapdoor spider nest! Otherwise a pleasant walk and easy to find cache.

Eventhough a workman was near by an easy find. TFTC

Had to wait a while, because of a golfer with the putting yipps to finally walk off in disgust. Hopw we werent to blame. TFTC

A quick drive by thanks for the hide.

This is an impressive golf course thanks for the hide

Cashing in the area with Wozzle68 and Beckster 22. Nice quick find here today. Thanks for placing.

Sadly couldn't get to this one today there is workers right near it. So will have to come another day

Nice easy find

TFTC

Found a nearby stump with some cement sheet nailed to the bottom of it and thought this had to be it... But no... It was elsewhere

Lovely view over the course

Watch the spider under it but a view of golf course

Nice find, we were half expecting to have to do a 'stealth run' across the golf course dodging balls along the way, but much to my sons disappointment, this was not the case!

We still enjoyed the find!! Thanks!! Oh, and I loved watching the X-files back into day!

Thank you!

Traveling up to Heathcote to go to a Dark Sky Site for a bit of Astronomy,
Collected a few caches on the way,

No golfing muggles around today, so a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

After circling GZ the hidey hole became obvious. There were a lot of muggles on the nearby golf course so I became the blocker. Then I noticed that there was someone looking at us from the house opposite. Well I hope it was the CO!!! TFTC.

Bunadoorian and I were very aware of the golfers and the neighbours watching on. We probably should have moved the car to closer to the cache to hide us. This was our 5th cache this lovely autumn morning. TFTC gen_gen

Loved the x-files so this was a great one to do. A few golfers in the area and local sitting on their nearby porches. TFTC

A nice quick find after playing golf nearby. TFTC

Found. TFTC

A quick find and all placed back safely.

Coming down from the forest after enjoying Mr E's Beautiful Blues, the walk to this one was quite a change of scenery and terrain.

A cheeky hide with a nice view of the local excuse for a walk of a different kind, gen_gen.

Our Christmas plans had been put paid to by border restrictions, but the exchange of presents still had to be done.

The younger members of the family weren't interested in the trip, so I travelled alone to enjoy my first cafe lunch in months, followed by the almost obligatory bee sting and coffee at the bakery. And, of course, the good company of my parents.

Gift exchanges and goodbye hugs out of the way, I took advantage of the benefits of a solitary journey, and embarked on a cache hunt.

Found by The Empire + H
A round trip of Castlemaine, Metcalfe, Redesdale and Heathcote - hunting a few Earthcaches today. Last stretch of the trip and daylight savings means we have plenty of time to check out the town and surrounding area before a pub dinner. Thanks for the cache gen_gen.

TFTC! Quick and easy find!

hard to miss

Even found a lizard TFTC

Of course there were golfers close by lol ....took a few snaps then grabbed the cache once they were on their way. Many thanks for placing this cache.

Had to have a little patience as a muggle golfer was nearby but as soon as she went we found the well hidden cache in it good hiding spot. Lovely golf course and the house opposite has such a beautiful garden with such a lot of colourful flowers etc. Pink cati and oxalis near to the where we found the cache.
TFTC gen_gen

Nice place TFTC

Tftc

Great find

Took us longer than it should have but after 15mins we got there in the end

Great hiding place. Goodies to trade.

This one a muggle owner who we were trying to be stealthy pointed Ghihash and I in the right direction oops! Great hide

Found with K9team on a day cacheing around Heathcote.
Thought we were muggled by a man mowing his lawn, until we saw him pointing us right to the cache. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction
Tftc

This was our first experience and we had a great time

A lovely spot. TFTC

Wrong side.

Looks like a cache, but its a letterbox.

Trust the GPS always!

Quick little find here with Jaco83 and the Pacman out exploring Heathcote on a day off work. TFTC

Found this cache at 4:13 pm. Took a diamond pendant and left a toy whistle. TFTC easy park and find.

It’s been quite some time since I was last in this area, and I’m delighted to see so many new caches. I’ve had a lovely time revisiting some places I’d previously explored as well as some new areas in my treasure hunting today A quick find here TFTC gen gen

Quick find thanks TBs paid a visit
