Wattle Point 3 Forge Creek, Victoria, Australia
By O319 & Debanian on 13-Sep-15. Waypoint GC64H6E

My gosh - tiny.TFTC

Found on the 14th of Sept on a very rainy day. We were staying nearby at Banksia Peninsula for the weekend with Gippsland Adventure Therapy. Apologies for the late logs.

Have a look on the fence.

After awhile, looking for a needle in a stack of needles ceases to be enjoyable. Lovely area!

I could not find it

Gave up on this one looking for about 10 mins and reading the comments we couldn't see anything obvious.

The second of this series also took a while to find. Despite me checking the location three times, at least, The_EVIL_MUGGLE actually made the find! There were some amazing banksia cones in the vicinity!

Needing a cache tonight headed out to Wattle Point. Being a nice evening decided to walk along the track to the gz. Cache found, log signed.TFTC

TFTC - In the area with HeliKelli and eventually located the cache. My GPS said it was on one side of the track HeliKellis stated the other. Having searched my side thoroughly and about to admit defeat - HeliKelli already heading back to the car, came back to show where her GZ was but she couldnt find the nano - I then said what about this one here? Cache located and signed.

Spent 15-20 mins looking for this one as Kploz GZ was on one side of the track and mine on the other. We resorted to the hint and reading past logs but still couldnt find it. I was just about to retreat back to the car as the mozzies were 50 to 2 (us) when Kploz decided to quickly check my area before we were subjected to a DNF. Being still fairly new to finding nanos in the bush I described to Kploz how these ones are usually hidden..Like this one? he replied?????Hmmmm, still not a fan of nanos in the bush!!!

thought Ill grab, but man the Mozzies they were bad.

Bit hidden but showed and stood out

Leeeesa_96 spotted this one again. So tiny!!

My goodness! So tiny

“That one was a bit freaky had to put my and in it and wriggle about”

GPS was spot on, literally. This one pretty quick. Mozzies the size of bats here. Log book has 1/2 dozen spaces left for logs.

To many mozzie, a deer crossed 30m in front of us and started calling it to his family

Nah, another one we couldn't find. We drove along this track up to this point after which I decided to backtrack as I wasn't keen on "pin-striping" the sides of the 'cruiser. Turning the car around was quite a challenge I can assure you!

TFTC. Itsy bitst, teeny weenie. Terrific hide! Still room to write. Jimmytherat with Noelle04

Sneaky! Haven’t seen one of these for awhile. TFTC Found with Jimmytherat on a very enjoyable few days on The Point.

This one evaded us almost. Finally found it though

Number 3 of 6 found.

3 of 6 found

Found after a minute or two with good coordinates once they settled.

After working up a sweat trying to swat away mozzies, I stupidly removed my jumper. “Fresh meat” I heard the mozzies cry in unison, before they all attacked my bare arms. I was desperate for any clue on how to find this quickly, and found it in the form of a wonderful clear hint in the logs. Once I knew that I was looking for metal, the find was swift. Still almost died from blood loss here though.

Hard one tftc

Folks, it's there. Think down low and attached to something metal.

Mozzie attack hampering search time. Ok, I give up.

Dissapointed really hard to find

Not found

sad

Found it and wow what an amazing find really good spot thanks

Great hide!

Great find! Look on the opposite side of the track to the gps location

Based on the GPS location we spent a lot of time looking on the wrong side of the track. Thanks for the cache. Cute container.

Defeated us today, but we will be back!

The loop continued, despite our unsuccessful attempt at Wattle Point 2. TFTC.

With 3 million geocaches on the planet, we've chosen yours to find. You should be thanking us!

Found it

After looking for quite a while we gave up. The hide was too good for us. A nano in the bush is a bit tricky for our patience. Thanks for the challenge

Beautiful weather for an afternoon walk on our Easter holidays. My daughter and I decided to have a competition to see who could find the most caches on this route, and by the time we reached this one it was 1 - 1 so we were keen for a quick grab. Alas not to be because this one was a toughie! After reading the hint and stepping back for a different view, I was rewarded with a find (and got to laugh at my daughters disappointed face as she tore off ahead of me to find the next one!) TFTC

Running out of time so we thought we would squish in the third cache. This find had us in stitches after we searched high and low and finally found it. Our last cache for this trip due to time. Can’t wait to come back and finish this series. TFTC

The real adventure was getting here! Biked/walked via the beach from Banksia Peninsula. What a Hike! The cache needs a bit of TLC though.
Thanks for the adventure!

Nice!

Took about 20 minutes Gps was slow here so had to walk up the track and back to get good concordats.

Perfect day for it with the Geo kid

Looked for ages but found it in the end! Nice!

Accidentally loged a need maintenance on this one but it was Wattle Point 2.

apologies for my mistake.

Will be back for a better look soon.

Cache and contents checked today thanks to Debandian.

Found while performing maintenance for O319

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.


Aug/26/2018: Log reinstated by Reviewer

Not a lot of time so moved on

Looked and looked and then there it was. Right there. TFTC

Ive not seen one this small before. Loved it. SL. TFTC.

So I picked the family activity for today. The muggle family were not impressed. I should have noticed the XS on a number of them as the care factor of traipsing through the bush in the heat of the day was not ideal for the muggle folk. 3 of 6 found. Tftc

Was with O319 when this was hidden, but forgot to log it after somebody else logged a FTF.

Best way to finish the year! Awesome cache

Super hard! (Not really!)
Trust your gps on this one folks, and use the hint if req’d

I have looked a few times to no avail The CK'S

It was still a few hours before dinner, so frmen1 & I headed to Wattle Point. Saw a freshly run over snake on the way. Ran back over it to make sure. It wasn't a little one either! Not so smart smartphone was minimal help. Managed to find after about 5mins once hint loaded. TFTC

Thanks for placing this great little series in the middle of nowhere. Some of them I dispute being easy, but patience and systematic searching paid off. Great looking black-boys trees all around added to a very peaceful search.

Watt'l we find- treasure? was the theme of the walk with our daughter & 2yo granddaughter. With the GPS'r wanting us to look on the wrong side of the track, we were very lucky to find this one at all! No treasure, lucky we did not drop part of it in the sand - nano's in the bush should be banned.

Satellites today had our GZ 6 metres south of where we found the cache.

Thanks O319 for placing these caches.

Unfortunately had to leave feeling defeated. Hopefully will find it another time

Heading off on a weeks holiday in the High Country and an overnight stop in Bairnsdale planned. What better way to kill a few hours, than to grab some of the local caches.

A nice easy find here, so thanks for the placement.

Needed the glasses on for this one I looked straight at it and missed it

Very sneaky little thing. Tftc

Small little thing

Decided to grab a couple of caches while dog sitting the grandkids dogs at Longford.
You would have thought that a person would have known before going into
this area you would have used some mozzie get off stuff so had to make these caches
move quickly and get out. The Big Black Mozzies won out here.

Took me a while to find the little bugger great hide
Tftc

GPS not great out here

Oh what a cleaver little hiding spot !!

Decided to do a little geo with jbro75 after a beautiful nights camp on the water at Blonde Bay. Chose this little series - a nice walk around the banksias and black boys.
(This cache still in situ - just a harder type find. If you can't find it...keep looking)

Looked for ages. No luck

Cache is definitely still there. We spent some time looking for it, and then we read the hint which immediately led us to the cache. Sneaky sneaky!!! TFTC

Can't check on it for awhile, but have made the hint very obvious in the meantime. That might help.

Had a good look but no luck. A tree has fallen down right near GZ. Cache might be under tree??

No luck after scratching around for a while...

We will be back next time
TFTC

looked low

Family took me out to find these group of caches and with their help we found them TFTC

Today we explored Sale to Paynesville and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few on the way and this was one of them. We encountered a variety of hides that kept us on our toes.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

GWD.Aussie, AQAU, SQAU and M&D? were the caching teams behind today finds.


After the disappointment of not finding number 2 we searched high and low for this cache with SQAU making the find just as we were starting to think we couldn't get it

Thanks O319 for taking the time to place these caches

Catching up on some late logs.
Is great to be out caching with family and friends.
Thanks for the cache

Found with sqau, gwd.aussie & m&d? after work one evening.
Located in a nice area Thank You

A after work caching run with SQAU, AQAU, and Megs_Q.

After trying to find number 2, with-out any luck, we move on to this cache.
At least me & megs_q has already look in this spot.
We were standing in a group talking, if we should move on, when SQAU spotted it.

This is the 2nd cache of the day.
This is my 1237th cache all up.

Thank you for the hide O319 & Debanian

***FTF*** It took two goes to locate this cache, you need to be in the right spot and looking in the right direction to spot it. Coordinates, as usual, were spot on. Thanks O319 for placing a cache here in such a nice 'original' area of woodland.
