No joy for me today, i see it hasnt been found for many years.
Yesterday i found my first few GA caches but i had completely forgotten that there is an app for it. Instead i copied out the coords into geooh go. Today i am searching for a few more and testing out the app.

Found the remnants of the cache being the lid attached to the tree. Unfortunately the body of the cache is no more. recommend that this cache be archived, unfortunately I didn't have any replacement parts.
18 months since the last visitor, but there was the cache, just waiting to be found. I guess this palce gets a little busy in summer, but the cache was all good.
Thanks robtas....nicely placed...all those years ago.

After having spent about a week on the Bass Coast, Phillip Island and part of the Mornington Peninsula, we came into the Melbourne CBD this morning for an appointment. We then headed off to Bendigo for a couple of nights. We stopped at this park to stretch our legs and to look for the cache. This was a quick find with the cache and it’s contents being in good condition. However the really surprising aspect was that the cache owner is RobTas, a long standing geocacher who lives within a kilometre of us in Tassie. RobTas certainly gets out and about and had caches in many parts of the country. Thanks RobTas for another of your caches in a good location.
Have missed logging many caches, time to catch up.

Happy Jack's Emporium is now closed 
For sale signs adorn the site.
At least the facilities across the road provided by the Bendigo City will make cachers and travelers happy
Thanks for the really easy to find cache

Found 8.45am
We have been here before and were very happy to be back for another cache. With the day starting to warm up it was just a short stroll to GZ where we quikly found the cache and signed the log.

We used to have a cache here called Not Happy Jack's that presented a few problems for cachers - not so today. Grabbed on a Calder run for some GCA moveables.
Thanks for a long way from home cache.

Found by Roma and Max.
This area certainly is an oasis for travellers and also previously played host to another geocache between years 2007 and 2010. Nice to see it back on the geocaching circuit although a slightly different flavour this time!
Good numbers led us to your little container.
Thanks ROBTAS for leaving one in our neck of the woods.
Cheers,
from Romax.
