By Saint.Anthony on 16-Mar-16. Waypoint GC6DEQY

After attending an event at the Pro Shop Coffee Shop, I proceeded around to GZ to make the find here.Thanks Saint.Anthony for placing this Traditional Cache, enhancing the game board and adding to our enjoyment.

Thank you, this is our 32 Anniversary run. Aiming to get 32 caches1 today to celebrate 20/32

What an awesome cache! Thank you, enjoyed the search

A rare day where the full Crack'n'LeeLee team could venture out together. Today we targeted a few caches in Creswick, Ballarat and finished with an event and yummy Bahn Mi. After a short search, the neat hide was found as anticipated. Thanks Saint.Anthony for creating for us all to enjoy. --------------------------------------------------------The nominees for the [**2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards** ](https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/2023-victorian-cache-of-the-year-awards/) have been announced.

Couldnt find this cache, but its our first attempt, so will be keen to come back and look with fresh eyes.

Best Micro Ever! That I have found . Thanks for the hide. At GZ as per co- ords. Just persist, don't hurry. Like others said, my first search was no good but I came back with open eyes. Happy caching

No luck today

Too good for us in the small amount of time we had available. Hunter

After three visits we were really pleased to tick this cache off. It was exactly where we had looked before but today we had our eyes open! Tftc.

Out early to avoid the muggles, made a quick find before heading back in to pack before our trip home.

Thanks!

Staying in the Sebel Apartments. Quick walk and quick find. TFTC.

Find No. 4691. Found with FUF009 at 4.18pmTogether with FUF009 we went down to Creswick on Easter Saturday caching.We spent the morning finding caches on our list. Had a late picnic lunch in the Gardens, found a couple of caches nearby and then done a couple of Adventure Lab's that were in the town area..Before we went home we just had to go out and try to find a cache that we couldn't find when we were down in the area on Saturday 27th January 2024 on our pushbikes riding them around the 50 must see places series. As we thought our co-ords were wrong back then we gave up. Upon checking with another cacher since then, we found we did have the right co-ord so today we wanted to see if we could find it and we did.Going back into Creswick there were two more caches that were close by on the way so we decided we would find those as well. This being one of them. With the hint we guessed what the hide would be and luckily for us it was a quick find as you could say it was the odd one out.TFTC

Find # 14421Found with Tyred n Cranky.A day spent down around Creswick picking up the odd cache or more.After Tyred n Cranky tackled a couple of ad labs and caches in Creswick. We headed out to the golf club for a couple of grabs. Interesting garden close by. Cache was a rather quick grab as the oddity stood out. TFTC Saint.Anthony

Had a quick look a couple of weeks ago with no luck so decided to have a look after the nearby event. Fergzter joined us but alas no luck.

Alas a dnf today. Will try again another day.

For such a busy resort, GZ was actually quite sheltered and hidden a bit from muggles. After a few minutes searching the cache turned up!! Nice hide!! TFTC!!

Found with Bogonghazy and Geo pup. Thanks for placing the geocache

Found with LittleBoss2 and Geo the puppy on a short trip to Creswick. Read the previous log and made a quick find. Thanks St Anthony

Found with +Wife and EveTheStaffy on our way back to Melbourne. It was a delight to finally stop by here and check out the resort. A quick find at GZ.

What can I say, OHC and I were dropped off by GT37 who went to park Gertie. It took her a little while and then she wandered down to lend a hand. She walked over and picked up the cache. I had actually placed it so she could see it but hadn't noticed it myself. All I can say is that we are pleased to have our names in the log which was re-hidden so that it wasn't obvious to the next visitors or muggles. This is a lovely area. Thanks for bringing us here with this cache.

In the Ballarat area for the weekend, so a perfect opportunity to hit up the MSP series and other random caches along the way. Quick find for some! Geoturtle37 dropped off Papi4506 and I just near the nearest access point while she went off to park Gertie. P4506 and I began the methodical search to no avail. Fast forward 10 mins or so, GT arrived to "help with the search" and within 2 seconds, states "Is this what you're after?"Mixed feelings... grrr that she found it so quickly, but happy we can now move on.Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Saint.Anthony ~~

Out for a fun day caching with Donutholes through the back roads of Creswick pine plantation while enjoying the 50 Must See Places caches.There was plenty of banter and laughs as Donutholes chauffeured me about in style while dodging a pot hole or three.This one felt a little uncomfortable with it being near a playground and on a property. Log signed and replaced as found.Thanks for the traditional cache Saint Anthony #7,705

We miss this one at first its pretty well camouflaged.TFTC.

It felt a little weird searching for the cache here. AusFox and I tried to be as quick as we could so we didn't bring any attention to us. Nicely hidden all is in good condition here. Thank you

Today we found Muggle Mobs? on our travels. Thanks Saint.Anthony for being part of our geocaching fun.

Both joybell53 and looked for quite a while but couldn't see it

2nd time looking for it no luck this time either

Tftc. A nice quick find walking from the car, as were staying here.

I'd had my eyes on completing the Ballarat Geotour for a while now, but with its days remaining on the gameboard being numbered, I knew it was time to seriously consider a trip out west to find them.This revelation coincided rather conveniently with the newfound ability to drive myself away on such a trip, a sale at the already discounted accommodation, a bit of free time, and two events in the region.And so, as if by magic, Brain's Big Ballarat Bash was conjured up, and my night away to finish the Geotour and partake in other general shenanigans commenced!With a quick stop in Bacchus Marsh on the way up, this afternoon was mostly occupied with a few easterly caches on the hit list, before I checked into my accommodation and a long night of driving around the outskirts of town to collect some of the more out-of-the-way offerings took place!This cache was right on the doorstep of my accommodation so I made sure to pick it up in the late stages of dusk to maximise my chances of finding it without any muggles that might appear during the day!This is a very cute little area, although the task at hand seemed pretty daunting upon arrival at gz.I got fairly lucky though, and had the cache in hand after only a few checks.Thanks to Saint.Anthony for placing this one here!

A pretty quick find here before checking out. Thanks for the cache.

A lovely spot for weekend TFTC

I thought I would escape the city and spend a few days in the Creswick region, obviously finding the local caches.
Staying at the RACV resort so time to explore the local area.

It was a little wet today but still managed to get out and about, found 15 adventure labs and 9 other caches including a letterbox..
I had a great adventure finding these caches.

Took a few minutes to get this one, once I worked out what I was looking forward it was a quick find... just took 10 mins to work out what sort of hide it was.

Thanks for the cache and the hide
Log book has been signed and returned

Nice quick easy find if you pick the right one️

12:07
Found in good company after an excellent Maker Magic presentation by feathertop.

I love it when I can stand back and pick out the most likely hiding spot.

Thanks, Saint.Anthony.

Always a good day when out caching and finding them.
Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony

After attending the event here at the resort a few of us ‘had’ to find this cache, so conveniently located. It was cleverly concealed, but with a small group of geocachers it was soon found and passed around for us all to leave our marks. Thanks for the fun.

Quick find today after a weekend with 300 odd muggles…aside from the one I introduced to caching we managed to avoid them all for a sneaky find.

Cache is in good condition with about 6 inches of clear space left on the log.

Out for the day with beaanhead and her grandfather, showing them different types of caches around Creswick. We spent quite a bit of time here looking, one comment from another cacher was the clincher, but I'm not telling you which.
Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony

lucky i caught it

By the time we reached our accommodation here in the late afternoon there were no muggles around.
Neither of my muggle friends wanted to come caching with me so I struggled out. That's a very steep hill down from the resort when you've got a busted hamstring! Still it was flat near GZ. I looked around and could see so many spots that matched the hint, and I wasn't even sure I could access them.

But the caching gods were smiling!!!
And the co-ordinates were very good ..... so it was the first thing I touched.

Glad to get a cache in this area. My ancestors are buried here from the Goldrush era.

TFTC # 5299

Nice hide

Kids beat the adults for a one nil advantage

We had seen the previous DNF's and were concerned that we would be adding to them, fortunately with a systematic search hubby was the lucky one to find the cache. The co-ords are good. Thank you for the fun. SL TFTC

Had a look. Too many options.

Checked this after the first DNF and it is still there. All good to play, StA

Think they got it. Looked high and low turned every stone. Not there. The muggles got it

We left no stone unturned, but still no cache

Hmmm, not sure about this one, i think i didnt persist long enough, next time!

Little damp but we're able to write on it. Very clever hide, had to feel my way around a bit. Luckily not many muggles out and about today. Thanks for the cache!

Took a bit of searching to find this one, clever little cache

Great find! TFTC

BUSHRATZ CHEERS

TFTC, quick little fiend TFTC

Found. Very clever. Loved it. Felt a bit weird coming in the grounds but got over the pretty quickly. TFTC

Isaviv while on a “Luxury Escape” at the RACV Resort.tftc.

First log for 2021!
Here from Queensland for an Outdoor Educators conference. Thought I may as well indulge my love of Caching between sessions. Found and signed. Log slightly damp, but all in order.

Checked cache today. Dried out log and returned to hide. All good to go again. StA

Have been here a few times without being able to find this one. Today with Nettie1234 we were able to locate the cache and very happy to sign the log. Thanks S.A.

On my third attempt thanks to Motndarg for this one. TFTC

Too wet to write on, picked it up so many times without realising. Fun little find, no muggles today! Thanks

Nice find

No luck today

We had a challenge and someone tried to cheat but didn’t and then found it

Very clever spot

Sneaky one

Too busy today to grab it.

Found with GreyGhost69 on a Foam Fest weekend. Thanks

Sneaky little hide on the grounds of the RACV resort we are staying at after Foam Fest (they tell me I had fun after I froze...)Tftc

Found it after quite a search, I picked it up a few times and didn’t even see it. Hubby found this one first. Took us about 30 min of checking each individual Rock.

Tftc

Checked today and cache is in place. Muggles about but no muggling has taken place at GZ. All good to go!

Two days in a row and still didn't find it. Will come back another time and stay at the resort I should stick to golf.
Greytiger

Found with Mazza-G! Tftf

This cache was found right at the door step of the resort we were staying in. We spent some time looking for it when the 3 year old grandson picked it up and hurled it. To our delight we found it was just what we were looking for. After signing the log we returned it where found. TFTC

Managed to find this one fairly quickly. Nice job though!

We knew what we were looking for but still took a while to find it. Surprisingly quiet area. Log book is damp.
Tftc.

first day of hols.

Our second find on the first day of our short break in Creswick. Staying at the resort and we were amazed to see that this one was so close. Soon out the door and down to gz. Uh oh I am hopeless at rocks oh well, here goes. immediately geowife exclaims ,,,, got it. How relieved was l. Thanks for the cache. I admired the construction, having tried to do the same. Well deserving of a fav point. Thanks.

Miserable 4 degrees.. snow & rain didn’t stop us from finding our anniversary cache.. TYFC

Spending the weekend at the resort, this was our first find for the day, now just have to tackle that puzzle.

Found by Mary and David at 1420. What an amazing development. We had no idea that this was here. Loved the water lilies on a pond near the entrance. Our thanks to Saint.Anthony.

Thought we'd grab this one while staying here. Had a quick look in the dark last night with no luck but came up trumps pretty quickly this morning just as we were leaving. SL and replaced. TFTC!!

Found )

Found it

I have not seen one of these for a long time so was pleased to find it so quickly. Nicely done. TFTC.

Staying at the RACV for our anniversary ... decided to find this one as a present to us. Had to wait until the heat of the day ended. TFTC

With 4 sets of eyes still found it hard to find but we got there!! Tftc

New dry log replaced wet one. All good to go!

Not a muggle in sight OR were they peeking from their windows????? Nice spot and one could be discreet. TFTC

Lots of cars in the car park, so there must be lots of muggles around. Hope they didn't spot us! TFTC

Grabbed this one after the market. The log was wet and all stuck together but we managed to make a mark on it and have a photo if you need.
Thanks for the cache on international geocaching day!

Found with the family.
Nice little walk around here and a cool hide too.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with McAdies and Geoeddie.
Nice quiet walk as it had just stopped hailing.
We found it quickly.
Thanks for the hide.

Log needs replacement. We didn't have a spare today sorry.

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

Finally getting to catch up on some logs, we headed out for some fun after the youngest team member finished his soccer game, we managed to gather a few finds before the rains came, we set off exploring this area, no one was around which was good as we made the find, log retrieved, signed and replaced Thanks for the cache and fun

Found in the company of 08151605 as we visited the area to clean up a few missed caches. It was absolutely freezing this morning so very thankful for a quick find to be off to the warmth of the car. A great camo but the log is wet and will need replacing. A fave of course. Thanks Saint.Anthony

Cool. Found with Sorceysal. 6° feels like 3° Nice hide. TFTC Cheers
