This one seems to be gone; the single hole in the tree is empty, and there's a couple of trees that have been chopped down recently.
this cache needs to be checked by the owner. It seems to have been muggled, makes the whole series undoable
The empire and pr&f succumbed to the same fate as mud rat... the cache is gone! Looked all over, signs of recent gardening work though!
mmm, I feel a little silly. lol. We did try hard to find this one. There is one area with a hole, but the hole was empty, the tree beside that had been recently cut down. I will have to go back and have another look.
Found today at 1050.
Nice easy find.

I thought that I would give the Domino Chase series a go, especially with the big surprise container at the end.
I like the whole in the tree, this was a easy find. Nice walk as well.

B-Team find on a dry and dusty day, but I was determined to follow the trail to the end in the limited time available. Had to wait for the nearby neighbour to finish mowing the weeds outside the rear fence before mounting an assault on the GZ. The cache can be best described as a close fit, with some degree of agility required during the retrieval process. TNLN Good Luck!
I must confess that having seen that this was placed by Wheelchair Access I was expecting slightly easier terrain and retrieval. Not that it was particularly hard, but I was in a bit of a hurry and I'm still caching on only 1.5 arms (plaster comes off in a week, hooray; and then I'm not as restricted to public transport and Shank's pony (although it's amazing how many caches you can get to in these circumstances)). Anyway I eventually wangled the cache into the sunlight, and signed the log. Thanks for this one.
Found @ 2:35pm Grabbed the bikes for a day of caching in the area, had done #6 of the series six months, so decided to complete the others. 3rd for the day. No muggles around, great hiding spot. TNLNSL TFTC
Found at 5:15PM by Ray and Maya on the 12th of Jan. We have decided to clean up a few caches in our own back yard for a change. Easy find. TNLN.

We attempted all the domino caches today, really appreciated them and got to see some really nice places around Werribee River. Unfortunately, we were unable to located Domino I.

MM and I decided to do the whole series today and it was very rewarding - exploring along the beautiful and full Werribee River and its beautified riverbank parkland.
Thank you so much WheelchairAccess for giving us such an enjoyable journey.
This one had a lovely view of the river and a cute hidey hole.

Having failed to record a log on our last visit here due to councils chainsaw aggression, we called in and made an entry in the replacement log.
Thank you again Wheelchair Access, for your help last time and for this replacement hide.

The tree where the cache lived had been removed, the cache has now been replaced in the tree next door.
I'll have to check this one out and replace some time within a week. My apologies for the inconvenience. WA

This is where the wheels fell off, (pardon the pun, Wheelchair Access), courtesy of the local council, we think!
Arriving at the posted co-ordinates we found all that was left of the most likely tree was a fresh stump, still bleeding sap from a serious encounter with a chainsaw!
We had a thorough search around and failed to find any sign of a container. We then rang the owner and they kindly gave us the necessary number to enable our search to proceed.
Thank you Wheelchair Access for the help.

Found @ 11.35 a.m. today by Mr Emu & Son. No. 6 of 15 on our Big Day Out In Werribee.
GAFF3, because we accidently saw the hints on our PDA before looking for the cache. TNLNSL for this stage, but gathered our clue.
We both enjoyed the ride from cache to cache on this well-formed bike path. Thanks for the cache Wheelchair Access.

We found this pretty quickly, a bike would of been handy to get to the next one or all of them but a tour of the back streets will have to do, one down six to go now off to the next one!
Thanks wheelchair access

1st find for the day at 2:45pm.I parked the car at the Werribee station and took the bike for a ride on this nice sunny afternoon. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Wheelchair Access....
Got it after checking just about every other possiblity! A lovely part of the river here and the bike path looks promising - its a good suface. Thanks Wheelchair Access.
Hit the bikes today with a strong head wind (hoping for a good tailwind on the way home). The first cache was a short ride, and a quick find. My question is, how do get it by wheelchair?
One down six to go.
Thanks, Robmc.

This was our 9th of 22 on a day out caching with The Coffee Clan, Mini Cacher One and Mystery Inc. and our first in the domino series. Shelby and I soon had the cache in hand. The information was recorded and we were off to the next one

The humidity was still high but the rain was falling steady. Todays caches were centered on parking as close as possible to the GZ and this cache the first in the series was close enough. Shelby and team Crackers elected to find this cache while I dried out from the last cache walk.
After searching for a short minute the cache was found and logged and the series continued onto the next. Many thanks to Wheelchair Access for the cache along a today fast flowing river.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "plenty of water, but no instant coffee" Clan.

First of sixteen finds in company with acts2youthgroup. This series came online when I was away on holidays, so I have been looking forward to logging them for a week. By the look of the number of names in the log book, I haven't been the only one. This one was an easy find at 1030. Unfortunately, we came unstuck at number II, but that is another story. I made no exchange, however, I left the TBG Scotland Geocoin. Thanks to Wheelchair Access for the cache. Cheers, dak.
First of nineteen cache finds for the day, I did this one in company with Dak. Dak had been to MtGambier and I had been to Canberra so it seems like along time between caches for us as a team so it was good to be out caching together once again. This was a nice easy find at 10:30. It was good to see the river still had some water. Thanks for the cache.
I dropped off the RenHen & Eureka-bub and picked up the geo coin. Thanks Wheelchiar Access.

Found with Muzza, Kiwi-deb and Nexrex. We were addimate that we had found the location and that the cache had been taken, but upon a further search found we didn't look hard enough. Thanks Wheelchair Access for the highs and lows of the search.
Found in the company of Muzza Alansan and Nextrex. Great start to the day 1st of 26 for the day. Found at 0920. Thanks for the cache.
Found this one today at 9:20am with muzza, alan-san and kiwideb.
Great series, and the domino's were a welcome change.
TNLN. Thanks Wheelchair Access.

Alan-san, Kiwideb and myself were out for a day of geocaching with new cacher, Nexrex. The three experienced cachers spotted the likely hidey hole but left it for nexrex to find it. When he looked there, it was empty. It was a dummy hide.
Then we all had to start looking again before the cache was found at 9:20 - the first of what now appears to be several hits for the day. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

G'day Wheelchair Access,
I found your cache today at 3:50pm as the seventh of eighteen on my "Home Alone Caching Expedition". The hunt begins. I would like to have had the opportunity to do this series by bike but a car had to suffice today. Boy, did this series get a good going over today. By my reckoning, you are going to get around 63 cache found emails for the series today . Thanks for our 3rd Wheelchair Access cache.
Regards,
D B-A

A fine afternoon for a little bit of caching close to home with the family.
A nice easy find at this location after looking where Mrs. caughtatwork was suggesting.
Took nothing, left nothing.

Found the first cache in the series after a few minutes .Certainly a nice wide path built for the bike riders and walkers in the area.Good to see how they have cleared away a big area each side of the trail for all the right reasons too.Found at 9.30 am,tnln and thanks to wheelchair access for the first of the series.
After much side tracking by D and A (including a run with some friendly neibourhood dogs) we found this one without too much trouble, and followed the path to the next.
Hi guys
Ducked out yesterday evening to collect this series. Would have ridden the bike but Geojen and geotess came along so we part drove and part walked the series. Actually did them in reverse so this should be my last or more correctly second last log. (Did one out of turn) My log in the book is extremely short as some muggles saw me duck down the bank and were heading my way to investigate so I hurried to say the least. It was near dark by now too, and no torch but a fairly easy find nevertheless.
Many thanks.

I made my way to GZ when to my surprise a car drove right across the reserve and stopped just short of me. My first thought was another set of cachers but their stern looks and ID revealed they were undercover police. They asked me why I was wandering around looking suspicious. My first thought was this was the least suspicious looking I have been for ages, just following the riverbank, but they thought otherwise. Caching was explained, ID checked and eventually they realised I ws harmless. I explained theat the werribee area was bristling with caches and they may well encounter others. Somewhat subdued I made my find which in retrospect I notice was my 900th GC find and I set off to Domino 2.
Found by Mary & David at 1525, after doing a couple of errands in Werribee. TNLN. Our thanks to Wheelchair Access.
*FTF* by Pickupfamily Dad 1930hrs. Found the whole series tonight, it was nice to see this stretch of the river which I did not know before. TNLN, TFTC.
