By feathertop on 30-Apr-24. Waypoint GCAQ15T

On another road trip to Bendigo to visit the Family and diverted off the freeway to locate a couple of caches. When we first started coming to Bendigo many many years ago the road went right through Malmsbury but since the Freeway has been built it now bypasses all the little country towns. Once at GZ Mrs. Pooky made a quick easy find of this creative cache. TF placing this cache and bringing us off the highway to visit the town of Malmsbury again.

Cute little host. Interesting building. We love Malmsbury.TFTC.

After replacing a log in my nearby cache, thought I should check out one of its neighbours, all is good condition at Gz. Thanks for adding to the game board

A trip to Bendigo saw me diverting to find a few caches. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

First find of the day, however ended up logging it last. Thanks for the cache. Very creative hiding spot and love what you made and the colours. A few cars around so I took the cache into the car to sign before returning it back.

On my way to a 3 day 4wdriving navigation event in Guildford so I decided to grab some along the way!

Found on 30.10.24 at 4:07 pm. Enjoyed a lovely Bendigo Cup Day holiday in beautiful Malmsbury. TFTC.

On our way to visit friends & thought wed get some caches on the way. Quick easy find. Good little cache hide. TFTC

I loved this one. What a nice surprise. Although I was getting weird looks by the muggles driving by. Dropped trackable

Travelling with the gorgeous Snap Happy and the lovely TheDame. We found this with others whilst on the Great Victorian Cache Crawl weekend - what a wonderful time we had!Thanks so much feathertop for placing this cache.

We had a fantastic time at last years event crawl so there was no way known that we were going to miss this one, even though only half the team made the first leg.Mrs Crackers was kindly given a lift by Papi4506 & Geoturtle37 and we were joined by Posums.It rained for most of the day so we chose caches to look for that weren't too far from the car if we could. We found a variety of different types and hides and had a very enjoyable time in between events.This was a quick find while we had a mini event here and we soon added our name to the log.Thanks feathertop for the cache.

Over the weekend, we went on a Cache Crawl from Sunbury to Echuca, and then to Seymour. The cache was in great condition when we found it.Thank you for placing the cache feathertop.

Geoturtle37, Mrs Crackers (Mr Crackers joined us later), Posums and myself all set off to find some caches on our way to the next event. When we arrived, there were a couple of fellow cachers. By the time we left, there was a mini event happening. Thanks for placing this cache for all to enjoy.

I was in the area attending the Great Victorian Cache Crawl and this was on my to do list. The cache was a quick find as there were other teams in the area. Thank you feathertop. Another well crafted cache deserving of a favourite point.

Found with catnap777 @10:39amWe contributed to the string of "found it" logs from the hoard enjoying the Cache Crawl. Bad weather didn't slow us down one iota, although it may have meant a little less time standing around admiring the POI. TFTC feathertop. You will find our names slotted in between the Tritons who passed the cache to us, and icbtas whom we passed the cache to.

17 August 2024 10:39 Found with dalerious on the Great Victorian Cache Crawl. Also with the tritonz and icybeetas.A nice easy find on a day that had at least four seasons every half an hour.Thank you feathertop for providing and maintaining this cache.

Approaching Malmsbury, for the morning tea stop on the Cache Crawl, I had this on my list of caches to find. It turned out to be very easy, as I noticed several cars stopped beside the road. My name was quickly added to the log and I headed off to the gardens for some more fun.Thanks for placing this cache, feathertop.

Found during the Great Victoria Cache Crawl event (day 2). feathertop, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area. ??

A group find while on the great Victorian GC crawl.TFTC

Thanks for the cache, with such a great container. Quick find with the deciduous tree today.

I was worried this might be really hard to find. Certainly wasn't expecting the beautiful holder. Left a pathtag. TFTC

On the Cache Crawl weekend we were very lucky to be able to pick up some caches inbetween events despite the crappy wet weather.We knew this was going to be a beauty and we were not disappointed when we found the custom made container. A very interesting building here.Thanks feathertop for the well themed placement, a favourite point added.

Loved the old hotel, and the clever cache camo. TFTC

A very cute little cache thanks sally

We found this cache after attending the 2024 Cache Crawl breakfast in Sunbury. BernieH pulled up right behind us as we were getting out the car and was first to spot the cache. TFTC

Turned out to be a mini event on the side of the road **Thanks for placing this cache feathertop**---*WOW, so much happening here in Victoria*The Great Victorian Cache Crawl is coming on 17-18 August 2024, this year starting near Melbourne heading up around Echuca and back over the weekend.

I planned to attend only two of today's Cache crawl events, and spend the rest of the day chasing Adlabs, with just a few extras thrown in to break the journey. I was 40 minutes early for the Malmsbury event, so I first did the two caches I planned for afterwards and this was one.It was raining at the time and just as I finished writing the log, a 4WD arrived with Crank1 and Pwala in it, so I passed it to them to save them getting wet.My thanks for the cache, feathertop.

Just pulling into Marmsbury and I see a line of cars and then I thought there must be a cache here. I quickly pulled over to collect this one. It was a nice quick find in the drizzle

Found by Mary and David at 08:55. What a wonderful old building - the proverbial Renovator's Delight? Evidence of shingles on the now collapsed roof. Our thanks to feathertop.

I was on my way to Morning Tea at Malmsbury during the 2024 Great Victorian Cache Crawl and the rain had stopped so I stopped here to find this cache.A quick find, of a unique cache container, and I was back into my dry car.Thank you feathertop for this cache.

We were heading to Malmsbury for the second event of The Great Victorian Cache Crawl, it was still raining but after a quick stop here the cache was soon signed then off to get for a hot coffee and the most delicious Lamington at the bakery. Thanks feathertop for the cache.

Thanks on way in for a event a few cars stopped by this one easy find TFTC

Very fitting cache. May have been naughty and peeped in the building too.

Motorhoming around in winter and finding a cache here and there. Today we are heading to Heathcote on a beautiful sunny day. We like the hide on this one. TFTC & a fav pt

Find # 15973Off for a day trip, some shopping in Bendigo, then a wander down the Calder Hwy to grab a few caches and AdLabs.Ended up in Gisborne to kill a bit of time as my original plan was to be on Mount Macedon at dusk. A rather quick pickup here. Also good to have a safe pull over point. Nice piece of history.TFTC feathertop

Found with my two favs Bogonghazy and Geo dog. A quick find. All in good order. Thanks feathertop for placing the geocache cute cache

Found with LittleBoss2 and Geo the puppy. This is certainly a brave hide, very exposed, but what a clever creation too. Thanks Sally, adding to the faves

Nice quick easy find love the cache

I tell you what, both chimneys needed in this weather.A fun loop around the south east and beyond with deanside. Good to meet a couple of other geocachers over the last few days.| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks feathertop and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

How many times have I passed this building and through this town? Unfortunately the Bakery was closed so it was a quick park and grab. Another jaunt to Bendigo grabbing a few caches along the way. Thanks feathertop for creating this cache and contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!

Rainy day - quick find tftc

A cute little cache container next to an old relic. A quick stop before I begin my caching in Malmsbury. TFTC

As i drove into town i realized i was hungry and also remembered that there is a terrific bakery on the main street. Putting caching aside i dropped in for a tasty lunch and coffee, still worth the visit folks! Then it was up the hill to find this nice crumbling structure and little beauty of a cache, a delightful find again. 2 Chimneys- Malmsbury is find number 3,441 for me. A fun small sized traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in Macedon Ranges Shire. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. I am logging this one on Friday 14 June 2024 at 2:07 pm and the weather is Overcast Clouds 10C 68% 3 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy feathertop.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Well its the long weekend and I was wondering what to do so a trip up to Bendigo was called for.This weekend will help me continue along with my streak which I want to get to 183 as any more is just to hard to achieve.Im having to resort to detours on the way home from work but a weekend trip away will help me along and also any excuse to get out of Melbourne is a great idea.After a great day yesterday of caching and sight seeing and a good nights rest (after finding somewhere to stay as Bendigo appears to be booked out) its time for some more caching and to slowly make my way home.It has been a while since I have called into Malmsbury and I have a feeling that I will be back in a couple of months.I have already done one of the COs chimney series near Clunes and it was great to stop in at this old relic.I did poke my head in through the door way but did not going in any further.The cache was soon located and I added my name to the log.Thanks feathertop TFTC.

Out and bout in the Malmsbury district in the PeuGEOt with Mrs Cogs.TFTC

We found this in the dark after a days fun and caching in Bendigo following the CITO and morning tea events.Nice to see a good turnout on such a glorious autumn day. We picked up some speedy trads and then attended the virtual at the Stupa. This was intriguing and we spent over an hour and a half there for a gold coin donation. We can recommend a visit and to check it out.Back to current business: we have never really seen this ruin before and it is hard to resist going beyond for a peek, but we behaved ourselves and restricted our activity to being very satisfied with what we found. A nicely crafted container at an historic ruin which we think is worthy of a Fav point.TFTC

Visiting friends in Malmsbury, very pleased to find a new cache placed since I was last here. A quick park and find. Liked the creative container. TFTC feathertop.

Very clever. Tftc

Logging now as a beta tester as I placed the cache with feathertop. Love the build

Was tempted to look inside but best not to. Love the housing. Thanks .

The bananas think that this owner has taken the mantle as most preferred geocachers to look out for.The few that we have done have been precise steps, clear instructions that lead to well constructed collusions to shows he/she cares about this game. I have not met the owner as our paths have not crossed but the bananas would like to rectify that in the near future and give them a hearty handshake for the pleasure they have given the bananas.World class enjoyment.And obviously another favourite point.

Fabulous in its dilapidation. Only a few scratches on me. TFTC
