Treasure Island - Rhyll Inlet #13 Rhyll, Victoria, Australia
By Gonefishen07 on 23-Jun-17. Waypoint GC77WDB

Found it!

On the way from Cowes to Rhyll, we wanted to attempt at least a few of the big bunch of caches here and managed 7 of them in the time that we had. Thanks from D & HA B-A

Another short hop from the road had me at gz and a quick find was made. This is a lovely spot, i wish i could do the whole series. Every now and then i find it very therapeutic to skive off from what i really should be doing to enjoy some time in nature, walking, exploring, adventuring, or just being. These days, of course, that also includes geocaching. I was feeling a bit inundated and decided to head for the coast for a sea change, at least for a few days. Phillip Island has long been a favourite so i hit the road and after a busy drive through the city i finally arrive on the island and immediately felt myself beginning to relax. When i was young i enjoyed quite a few family holidays down here and some of my happiest memories were created on splendid days exploring the beaches and rocky coasts. I will certainly find some geocaches while im here but i will probably spend more time just walking and sight seeing i think. Treasure Island - Rhyll Inlet #13 is find number 3,692 for me. A fun micro sized traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in Bass Coast Shire. I am logging this one on Tuesday 23 July 2024 at 6:46 pm and the weather is Overcast Clouds 14C 62% 10 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy Gonefishen07.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Out and about on trusty treadles AKA my MTB exploring the trail and the different landscape to my homebase. The planets aligned and a spontaneous decision to head down to the Island for some sea breeze, ozone and coastal vistas on a free day AND of course caching (or casheering as dear mum would say) transpired. This great hobby is such an invitation to explore aspects of any location and the ISLAND has plenty of that. Quick find at GZ with a good hint. TFTc and the FUN.

Easy find for my son

Another one done a great walk around on to the next, TFTC

Beautiful find along a nice path

Found it

Tried out my new Hover Air x1 automated drone.Parked and walked to cache with the drone following me.TNLNSL TFTC Jeffjulie

Found at 15:43This should have been a super quick find but I missed the cache on my first look. After looking in a few other spots I came back and spotted the container.Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache

Day two on Phillip Island with BettyBoo3747 and the geodoggies.We got the deadly treadlies out and rode the caches around Cowes, also filling in a few AdLabs.Back to the entrance to the park and heading East. This was the first one.Thanks, Robmc.

21422. Day 2 of our little Phillip Island Adventure. Looked like being the best day of the week so we loaded the doggies into their trailer, jumped on the bikes and headed out for some caching between Cowes and Rhyll and then more around town in the afternoon. Great to get a ride in although it was very very windy.The first of three along this section before we crossed the road.Thanks Gonefishen07

Another nice quick one in a beautiful spot. Thanks for bringing us here for a stroll.

Today we headed to the Phillip Island for a wedding and some cache. What a beautiful place to visit. A great day for a walk. Thanks Gonefishen07

Almost walked past this one. Sneaky! TFTC Found with Jimmytherat

Well guarded by the spider webs

Found it easy with rex46

With dott558 and three tbs
Thanks for the walk

TFTC - loved this one….had to be brave though

Parked in a nice convenient spot but could have found an easier trail to the walking trail. Nevertheless the cache was soon in hand. Thanks Gonefishen07 for placing the cache.

Quick easy find with my wonderful long suffering muggle husband while holidaying on Phillip Island. TFTC TNLNSL

Nice weather for me to decide riding my ebike along the track to find Treasure Island-Rhyll inlet caches. Found most of it without DNF. Had a great day. Thanks Gonefishen07 for placing this cache

On a mission to do this trail. Cache on need of maintenance, just a nail sticking out of the top. Otherwise in good condition

Sneaky sneaky little cache location! TFTC

Quick find on the first place we looked. TFTC

Another quick find this morning. Really enjoying this series. TFTC

I was put off by a spider in it's web but Mr S went around it and claimed the find. TFTC

Nice find

Spotted this one very quickly, but had to wait for a pair of muggles with a camera to head very slowly past.
Tftc

Well spotted by Mr Flossy nice quick find

Opposite side from where we thought. Great hiding spot!

Great day for a walk and a few finds. TFTC

The GPS led us a few meters past GZ on this one, however after it settled, cache was found. Tftc

Found at 12:02 PM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob.
We didn't have our bikes with us and there is just a small group of these TI caches from here to Rhyill that we haven't done, so there was nothing else to do but get out and walk [xx(]
Thanks Gonefishen07.

Found by Mary and David at 12:05. Spotted this one on approach. Suspect there is some camo missing. Our thanks to Gonefishen07.

Quick easy find. It is worthy to note that there was a dead huntsmen spider attached to the cache. Gave us quite a spook. So just be careful when picking up the caches. RIP huntsey

Creepy crawlies, a huntsman guarding this one, TFTC

A nice quick find as we came here to find the night cache. Opted out of the night cache as it is too far for us just now.

Staying in Phillip island for a few days and noticed this trail, so while Mr geco had a nap I headed out to explore. I enjoyed the trail and the search for the clever hides. Shame to see some of the camo's had become unstuck but enjoyed the hunt. Sorry for the mass log but they merged into one when I logged them after the walk. TFTC

Out with Tiz13 & Kashbound for a day of exploring caches on the island with some specific ones in mind. Loving this trail and the amazing environment that has been preserved. So grateful for a gorgeous day after all this awful weather.

tftc Gonefishen07

Out for a big caching day with tiz13 and kbucky this particular cache was MIA last time I was here 4 years ago but today it was safely hiding in its home blue frown is now yellow smiley face signed as TKBs and TFTC

Meh ...I'm glad I wasn't the one who located and grabbed this cache as it had attained its own cache guardian of the slimy variety..log signed TKB's

Nice quick find TFTC

On a hike from Rhyll to Cowes around the inlet.

Last grab before reaching the Oswin Roberts Conservation Reserve. Quickly spotted peeking out of its hidey hole.

Thanks, Gonefishen07.

Granddaughter spotted it as soon as I said one meter away

Spiffy- and I decided to take advantage of this rare public holiday and went to the Island. Luckily we headed off early as on the way back the traffic getting on to the island went for about 10km.

We had our scooters in the car which helped with this series. Quick find here.

Thanks to Gonefishen07 for the fun and the adventure.

Today we headed off early to Phillip Island and glad we did because the traffic was at a standstill coming onto the island when we left. For a public holiday the weather was surprisingly good. After finding the main cache we needed today we deployed the scooters at the car park here and rode each direction along this awesome trail. Geez they went to a lot of trouble building all these boardwalks. A great range of caches were found along here today.

Nice quick find here in the first place we looked.
Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

An afternoon stroll along the trail. A great hide. TFTC.

Found. Now off to meet @surefoot24 for dinner. Cache is nice & dry in a wet spot.

Found a cache, but also a possum!
TFTC

Quick find on our walk by the geo kiddos

Tftc

Lovely spot but the road's a bit busy.

Having another day on Phillip Island and concentrating in the NE area. I began this lovely trail early and walked it in sections, backtracking to move my geovehicle to a more convenient spot Another neatly hidden cache. Thanks Gonefishen07

Continuing my morning Australia Day bike ride. Quick find along the trail thanks.

Very neat hide TFTC

??

Thanks. Having a lovely stop-start cycle

Found it eventually once I looked at the right tree! I got freaked out after disturbing a possum in its nest!

After doing the SEATO I just thought I’d take an extra walk and clear out a couple more in the area. I think this one has lost its top but the snails are loving it. Nice easy find, thanks for bringing me here and for the cache GoneFishen07

Missed this on the way to Rhyll but found it on the way back. I even looked in that spot the first time but didn't see the cache.

Tftc

Great hide. TFTC

Found it TFTC

On a road trip to Phillip Island for a couple of weeks, picking up random caches as we travel around seeing the sites. Today we decided to walk from the carpark on the Cowes-Rhyll Road to Conservation Hill, 3.6kms return, picking up caches along the way. After waiting for a group of 11 muggle walkers to pass we began our search. Mrs Pooky just happened to look in the right direction and spotted a likely hiding spot and further investigation revealed the cache. TFTC and bring us to this great walking track.

I was lucky to spot this one but just looked in the right direction and there it was. Great hiding place.

Found on bike ride during snap lockdown

Nice quick find to end the day.
TFTC

Good hide. Camouflaged.

Today we've walked this way and found this cache easily.
TFTC

Another day-another caching run!
Since the COVID restrictions have eased in regional Victoria we have been trying to do a weekly run with caching mate Rebel Acts. This is our fourth outing, and unfortunately the drizzle looks set to make things a bit miserable. Our first 3 days were beautiful, mild and with a light breeze. We are living in hope that the skies clear and make it more comfortable, but this IS Victoria.
As in the past we will sign many of the caches RASP.
Found more thanks to the hint rather than the GPS. The log was clean and dry, but the container was mucky. Glad we carry wet ones with us!
TFTC TNLN

With restrictions lifted in regional Vic I once again teamed up with SKI Pair armed with My mask and Sanitizer, Today we headed over the hills to Phillip Island where we had a great day exploring the Island, the weather was four seasons in one day, but that did not stop us. There were quite a few challenging and novel hides in the area. this is one of the caches we found today. gps had us in circles so the hint was used.

Logs signed as RASP

Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache.

Our quickest find today!

Too easy, lol

Easy find with roar ruby and rebonka tftc

It seems safe enough to re enable now

Disabling till life gets back to normal. Who knows when that is going to be

This one really stretched us. It seemed to be the most likely place.
Thanks for placing this series Gonefishen07.
Chiefton!!!

Gorgeous last day of the year at Phillip Island. I took the opportunity for some caching along this path in the late afternoon, after driving down from Melbourne to stay with family for a day or two. It wasn’t too busy, unlike the rest of the island on NYE!

Made short work of this one - cute little spot. I think it may have lost its camo? (but it doesn’t matter). TFTC

Firstly, apologies for the lateness in logging.
A weekend in Philip Island meant lots of walks
.
Thanks for placing this one BorisB&Natasha

Quick one

Having arrived on the island yesterday evening we took a look at the map and decided to hike the Treasure Island - Rhyll geo-trails. We had a thoroughly enjoyable walk, did some good bird watching along the way, and of course had great fun finding lots of geocaches, many of them well camouflaged and cleverly hidden - and so many thanks to the CO for having provided us with the opportunity for another great day out geocaching. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Beautiful morning stroll along the trail, cache in great condition, stamped log thanks Borisb&Natasha and Gonefishen for the caches along this trail.

*Smiley # 10027.*
*Cache find # 9982 + 45 Lab Caches.*

After spending a bit of time on Churchill Island at an event and finding a few caches, we then returned to the larger Island and then went on a quest to find some treasure.
I had been along this trail 13 months earlier but failed to find this one so today I had to return to try and convert a sad face into a smile.
Today was certainly a different story as we were able to see the cache a couple of metres away as we were arriving, the log was signed and we continued on our way.

**Thanks to Gonefishen07 for placing this cache.**

*19 Oct 2019, Found @3:59 pm, Find # 3392.*

Came down this way to attend an event and decided to continue caching in the area. This one was spotted just as we reached GZ.

**Thanks to Gonefishen07 for placing this cache.**

A quick find before heading back to the car. TFTC gonefishen07.

Down for a weekend with a few mates and thought we'd go for a bike ride (and cache) to pass the day. Logged as RACK (Melro9, myslef, Colinw178 and Kremmen). Quick find here. TFTC

Found with rack

We returned to this familiar location and turned our unfounded icon into a smiley. The cache was exactly were we thought it would be.

Thanks for the cache.

On a caching road trip with gwd.aussie in a effort to complete the Mystery of the Museum Promotion. Thankfully a better day than yesterday enabling us to get the bikes out to undertake the series.

Thanks Gonefishen07 - a quick find.

Once spotted, i was sure we had found the cache.

Some tricky hides in this series.
Some took some time to find, others were quick.

Thank you for the cache Gonefishen07

Caching this weekend looking for the gems in the museum mystery hunt. Grabbing caches after the local CITO today. Quick find as this one was visible from the path. TFTC Gonefishen07

An easy find as we hunt for the code to the vault!

Quick easy find. After the Cito
Thanks for the cache. Gonefishen07

Caching with Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Found your cache today. Gonefishen07, thank you so much for placing it.

Found it after attending CITO ‘Planting for the environment’, thank you Gonefishen07 for placing the cache.

Tftc, being tall gave a bit of an advantage

Find 2199
This one took far too long to find. Like others we spent the time on the wrong side of the track. After about 15 mins, I decided on another approach and soon it was discovered. Log signed and back safe again.
Thanks
