Tftc Rebel Acts.Wow, this is the largest cache I've ever found. With geohound next to me I was initially barking around the wrong level but there it was. Being tall helped as well.Out on a fantastic morning to get 4 caches, then into some local stores before getting back home. Quick find.
Very funny hide! Thanks for the laughs trying to get it out and put it back in ! Thanks for find 292!
I enjoyed the detour from the main road. Is was a nice quiet road and we didnt seen any muggles at all. We did however see the cache.. and what a cache indeed! I did struggle to gain entry but luckily Mr SL came to the rescue. The log was eventually signed. Thanks Rebel Acts.. nice cache placement
On a bit of a drive and detoured to check out this cache. The road has been sealed since we were out here last but it's great to see the cache still in play. Thanks for keeping this one going Rebel Acts.

Driving home with The Welder after a day trip, I spotted this cache on the map and was excited to see it was a large… only a small detour off the main road to collect it although we pondered the best place to park. At least it was a quick find and signed. Left two trackables for the next finder. Thanks for the cache.

Came to get this cache last week but found that I needed help from Geohusband.
Have returned today and we had it in hand very quickly. Thanks so much for this cache

So I was just supposed to go to Warragul to pick up an esky as our old one broke in the last couple of days and we need to go camping. But hey, petrol is expensive and why not go geocaching while here. Left home at 8am and returned home at 6pm - oops!
Oh, and remember to bring runners - forgot to pack, geocaching in birkies not a good idea in Summer. So searched for, hopefully, no long grass caches. Thankfully this was one of them.
TFTC de_ja_vu. Nicely done
However, my granny would have told me to cover my arms which ended up deliciously red and eve in my lady like pink dress. It was a battle royal to obtain the inner contents. Need to come up with a jazzy means of accessing log and then the golden moment resulted in a gala celebration. Apples is definitely the main aim of my geocaching day.ps forgive if I haven't logged correct TB's - I am hopeless with them

We soon found this cache but retrieval proved problematic until the TOTT was deployed. A great sized cache.
It has been quite some time since we have been out caching, but Rebel's Community Celebration Event on offer was the impetus we needed to get back out there. We were first to arrive at the event, but then a steady stream of cachers from locals to those from Melbourne. Its always good to meet new cachers and put faces to names we have come across as well as share stories.
The event went considerably longer than scheduled, but around lunch time we headed off to find some caches in the local area that we had not found or missed in the past.
It was a mixed bag with a number of DNF's early on making us think we had 'lost it", but then we came on song and made a number of finds. Some great hides and a number of favourites awarded.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Rebel Acts.

Found this one easy, nice container, did a small trade, signed the log and re-camoed, getting all the last caches in Warragul today now it’s cooled down a bit
WGPI How Do You Like Them Apples? was transferred from de ja vu to user Rebel Acts
After a week of heavy rainfall (90ml!) we were all itching to get out on this long weekend. We had recently created a list with the ‘most favourited’ caches in our region and noticed there was a glut of these in nearby Warragul. We had a lovely, chilly day finding 13 geocaches with the geokids and dog.
This was a fun cache to find in a beautiful spot, thanks for bringing us here

Finally got to return to this one. It was a team effort with MegMacca. And even after being warned - I was still splattered with mud...lol ....but I was determined that this one located a few weeks ago would not defeat me. Log book signed....still think this one was evil..TFTH and the fun.
Biggest cache we've ever seen! Geohubby had some stinky fluid tip on him when he lifted it, good thing a change of jacket was in the car. Lol. Tftc
Beautiful day for a geocaching expedition, thought we would try our luck around Warragul on our way to 200 finds, felt a bit peckish so decided to try and find these apples what a delicious snack TFTC
Found it. Lots of exciting stuff inside. We left a couple of things. I left a pen in the log book as well. Girls are loving it
Well, that was a team effort setting that one free.
Nice sized cache but hard to handle!!!
Lovely house.
Replacement much easier than retrieval.

Found this one on the the way back through from a day trip, to Moe and Churchill to do the NY double Parkrun. After 10km jogging I was happy to just do some drivebys. TFTC de ja vu
Now THAT'S a cache!
How big is too big? Or does too big not exist?
According to this cache, it's definitely the latter.
Saw this one from the road and went to it straight away.
Wasn't able to get it all the way out, so just unscrewed it and signed the logbook with a bit of difficulty.
Thanks for placing this cache!

After all the rain the sun had finally decided to put in an apperance so I decided to go find a few local caches, this was one of them and the best for the day, I have not been dissapointed with any of the de ja vu caches i have found and this one sure was a big cache and worthy of a favorite point. i was a little worried as I drove up the road as all the sides had been cleared but there it was in place. Thanks de ja vu for the cache.
Major road improvement since the last time I was here. Last time I found the cache but could not get to the log. A bit of height/muscle was required. This time I had brought a friend but it was still a challenge with the ground being soft after the roadwork. Cache and log in good condition. Lots of goodies inside. TNLN TFTC
Didn't find it.
Didn't even look for it.
Nothing wrong with it and I'm sure it's a very nice cache.
Just wanted to mention a huge thankyou to the COs that gifted our party even more than the gift of their caches.
Thankyou. Cybergran V just got home yesterday. [^]

thanks for the pathtags. we're very grateful for our gifts left in there. i was joined by cybergranv, and pennstar and mugglehubby were here in spirit. tftc!
We liked dem apples very much thankyou, and also for the lovely gift.
Major roadworks were underway here today and Muggle Hubby was loathe to leave the car as the grader and other road machinery were widening the road, and he thought he may have had to shift his vehicle.
Luckily for us they had disappeared far enough up the road enabling us to locate the cache, in spite of the mud and rough surface.
They had gone so close to the trees alongside the road we were worried that the cache might be missing.
No fear of that! So pleased grandson IceSquad was with us, he was able to retrieve and replace the huge cache for us.
We had it back in position, and we were in the car again, before the grader turned around and came back along the road.
Thanks once again for your kindness yesterday. We would not have known about the Birds of Prey demonstration without your advice. We all loved it, in fact we enjoyed the entire Healesville Sanctuary and Chocolaterie day very much.
A favourite point from us just because you, and the cache, are special.

However, a fav point still awarded.

WOW. Haven't seen a cache that large for quite some time. Thanks for placing this for us to find.
Have to love large caches. So few of them around. Thanks for placing this for us to find whilst caching in this area.
On a small divert off the main highway we spotted the cache hiding place on approaching Ground Zero. Thankfully there were no muggles around and so we were able to make an easy retrieval of this nice sized cache. We signed the log book and then replaced as found, but not before carrying out a Trackable Exchange, dropping off the Travel Racer Antique Travel Bug and picking up the Amstrad Leeana Travel Bug. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe
While in the area just after dawn, I drove to find this cache. I didn't notice the size on the cache page before getting here, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found it.
What I didn't expect was a school bus driving past while I was signing the log.
Thanks for the cache de ja vu
Hunter
PS. Grabbed a TB

Awesome large cache. Took trackable and will place in qld and replaced it with a trackable from qld lol
We found it after having a birthday lunch for our cousin at the Darnam pub. The Geokids really enjoyed this type of container and finally made their choices. We left a London keychain in and took the motorbike and hamburger eraser.
On our way back home today on a long day after a trip up the line - this was our last find, as light was fading and we were still a long way from home. We passed the Orchard on the way, gee that sure is a lot of apples! SL TFTC
We stocked up the swag and dropped off a TB. We also replaced the container upside down to eliminate the water problem
We were coming back from Trarlgon after delivering some fireworks equipment for tomorrow night and the rain had finally stopped so we decided to make a slight detour to pick up three caches while we had the chance.
This was the first. There aren't a lot of large caches around anymore, we always try and stop if we are going near one and this one was a beauty. Not only did it highlight another of the areas Primary Industries that we were unaware of it was also a brilliant hide of a huge container and having only been talking to the CO's last night only made the find better.
With an arm in plaster retrieving the log book was harder than it should have been but there was no way we were walking away but happily we can now say that our name is in the log.
Many thanks de ja vu, we are leaving a favourite point on this one.

Today we went for a Christmas Holiday drive down Gippsland way from home in Melbourne with the kidlets (as we enjoyed our trip down this way the other day).
The plan was to try and find some large size caches (as little Miss really enjoys the swaps) and to do a few earth caches (which we all enjoy).
This was our second cache of the day - and certainly a big cache. Didn't notice any apples round here though.
Thanks for the cache de ja vu. Hopefully by the time I have completed today's logging we will have earnt that favourite we owe you for TWGPI Free Range Camping!!

Heading to Orbost today with muggle mum and happily for me, I was able to stop off here and there for a cache or two.
Like others before me I ended up having a bit of a shower while retrieving this one today. Haha! Love a big beasty.

This cache certainly lives up to its large name! I parked nearby and went to wanted to the other side when I realised, no, it’s on this side! Great hide, specially for a cache so large. TFTC de ja vu
Away for the weekend with omegaman and Happy pants grabbing a few caches. We signing the logs under the team name HHO. While it started out as a drizzling, cool morning but turned into a reasonable day. The evening it now quite mild, if you keep moving, so we will make the most of it and grab a few more hides.
Great to find a large container, which is unusual now-a-days. Happy pants retrieved the container only to have the cold water run down his sleeve as he lifted the container from it's hidey hole.
Thanks de ja vu for placing the cache for us to find.

Very surprised to find a cache out around these parts that was not camouflaged or a bison but not as surprised by the amount of water that rained down on me from the lid as l took this great sized container from its hiding spot. After a few laughs and much banter l dried myself off and signed the log and returned it back under the light of the cars head lights. Thanks de ja vu for the hide.

Found with +Wife as we made our way home from a day out, caching in the Moe area.
Lots of apple trees along the sides of this road.
Only one muggle drove past but I was nowhere near the cache at the time.
Nicely stocked.

Well they did say it was large. A bit of a struggle with short arms and legs, but got it free from its hiding place and log signed tftc de ja vu
Great cache tucked away on a lovely little rural back road. Not sure what is happening in the paddock next door? Let's hope it's not going to ruin the beautiful country atmosphere. TFTC
Good cashe! Hard to get out though of your short! Not sure about the apples though?
A nice day for a little dirve and a few caches today we went for a little trip around and collected some treasures that was 5 finds and of cours we had a DNF as well.

An unexpected day of freedom today and I decided to go solo and grab as many caches as I could manage around Warragul area.
This was a surprisingly busy patch of road for a Saturday arvo and I was forced to 'survey the view ' several times before I could finally tackle this amazing cache! I wish I'd had more opportunity to explore the contents but with more traffic passing I opted for the sign and return instead today. TFTC

Today I was heading back to Melbourne airport from Warragul and had time to find a few caches along the way. The last few days had been very moderate in temperature but today Victoria turned up the thermostat and I think it hit about 36C. I managed to survive the heat and not encounter any dangerous critters as well. A nice big country cache beats an urban micro any day. TFTC, Biggles.

Another weekend and another road trip, this time I was headed to Bairnsdale to attend the next lead up event for the Alexandra Mega.
My main targets on this trip were letterbox hybrid caches, after finding this last letterbox I then changed my route back to the highway and notice this one on my new route plus it is a large so I definitely had to go for a look.
Once at GZ it didn't take long to find it.

This cache was used as a waypoint for a whereigo I am chasing. Nice drive and great cache. Took the TBs.Thanks to de ja vu for placing this cache.
Today I had to do some training in Drouin so I left early to find some caches on my way. I left so early that it was still dark when I got here, anyway it is suppose to be a large container so I thought I would be right. Sure enough it was quickly found but took a bit more to actually extract it. I was surprised that there wasn't more swag in such a big cache, oh well took a couple of TB's and left 3. TFTC
Wow that's a big cache! Needed help from Walking Ladder to extract. Left two TBs to continue their journeys. Great scenery. TFTC
Damn that was some cache... I think it's the largest that we've ever seen! Nice hide!
Wow. Huge cache. Just imagine how hard it would be to retrieve if it was full. TFTC
What a great big cache . It took some doing to retrive due to us being height chalenged. With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.
this was a clever one never been down here tftc found with grannygeo64 and teammoss5
Heading back from a weekend in north Vic and decided a detour was required to break the trip up a bit.
Didn't find any apples but did see a few on roadside seeded apple trees whilst on my travels, I was surprised by the size of the cache though.
A favourite point given for cache size.

First find in our first day of caching in months. An easy find to start us off. But - what apples?
