Fill me up. Thornton, Victoria, Australia
By Rallywrxwagon on 23-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10H91

Called in to find it as it was in our GPS, after a while decided we could not find it, any wonder it having a rest.

With handrail out of commision and not likley to be put back I have desided to pull this one. Thanks everyone eho stopped to find it.

#324 A great spot for a stop. Had me guessing for a while and I was becoming convinced the cache hide had been destroyed and the cache lost but patience prevailed. Thanks again Rallywrxwagon (that's the 3rd of yours today).

Nice hide in a lovely spot. I wish I'd been able to stop and sit around for a while. The log book does seem to be full, so I left a partial mark and was on my way.

The log book is now completely filled, and needs replacing.

Was camping at Ned's Gully, so on a resupply into town we cruised by and grabbed this. All the locals around (especially at the general store), are very friendly and helpful! TFTC

On the way home. river up got wet feet

This was a nice weekend away with Mrs Iamapom to join a day trip from Narbethong to Rubicon with the Landrover and Pajero Clubs of Victoria.
We had stayed in Eildon last night - and were going to head home to Melbourne - doing some leisurely caching all the way.
Saw this one pop up on the Tom Tom as we approached.
Nice easy find. I bet this is a very crowded area on a hot day. No-one around today though. Parked within a few metres.

Went with friends and let geofriend find this one. He was to keen but managed in the end. Log sheet is fool could do with a new one.TFTC

Picked this one up on the way thru . Log is pretty full.

Great hide

Thought about many possibilities as to why this cache was named as such... apparently had little to do with the local mechanics. Blackberry prickles are VERY unkind here! Owwww. Is it just me or do their pricks seem to hang around for a while???

Loved If's log. We felt a bit the same way. Nice spot, the water looked refreshing but I'm glad I did not get wet today. TFTC

Well I didn't have to get wet here as promised
But I almost did
Gotta remember where those holes are

The cache presented little resistance once I was sure I wasn't going swimming.
I did think I was doing a little CITO at first though till I saw through the camo

TFTC by the olde swimmin' hole.

785. OO This one had us going for a while Thought I may have had to have a swim for a bit, Too cool today for that anyway.. Sneeky Hide - Rallyrwxwagon.. TFTC

An easy find once we arrived at GZ, I think my team members are starting to enjoy this geocaching thing!!

Smart hide

A very clever hide found by very clever daut in a gorgous spot. GOYA

#12 for today. Nice hide. Took a few searches of GZ before I found the cache. Signed log. TFTC and for the nice little spot to relax for a while in the heat of today.

Found by PR&F on 3/1/10 @ 1.20pm in company of harry_stamper on his first adventure with his own username.
Made the clever find and signed log.
TFTC!

Found by harry_stamper on 3/1/10 @ 1.20pm with PR&F.
Nice hide at a relaxing spot.

#7 for the day. A simple find while Geodaughter catches a few zzz's in the car. Signed log and returned cache to its hide. TFTC. KemS

Found @ 09:28 on my way up to the Goulburn River to do a spot of fishing (got more cache's than fish! LOL)
The cache was quickly located and signed before replacing it carefully!

Found Melbourne Cup Day 2009. A beautiful spot by the side of the road. TFTC

second attempt.
got it.
First attempt was a few weeks ago when the water was just too high to get close.

Found by Mary & David at 1450. Nothing like the sound of running water. A cunning hide as we would have expected. Had a good chuckle, just like the local kookaburra. Our thanks to Rallywrxwagon.

A truly great place to soak your feet on an early warm day after a fair bit of travel.

Cheers Rallywrxwagon, thanks for thinking of my comfort.

Great find TFTC!

A bit slippery here today - but the cache was still quickly in hand. Couldn't work out the magnet part of the clue though. TFTC.

Found at 3:05pm as we headed to Eildon. Nice little spot and a quick find before we hit the road a again.

thanks Rallywrxwagon

Found this one at 15:50 while on the way to our monthly bushwalk tomorrow. What a serene little spot. And it looks like we're on Alsume's tail .

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Rallywrxwagon.

Having come home and re-read the hint, I'm sure I know where it is... that'll teach me to go off half cocked without reading hints all the way through! Will be back that way soon, and will add a new report

Stopped here for a cuppa and to find the cache great spot.
Thanks.

Given the hide this cache is very unlikely to be damaged.

This cache would appear to be in a fire area and perhaps should be made temporarily unavailable until the status can be checked.

The final find for Project 51 and Son after an eventful and rather unsuccessful caching trip.
A beautiful place to rest on a 42 degree day.
Thanks for the cache and the relatively simple find.

This is another great spot to stop and cool down for a bit and it was well appreciated as the weather had become quite warm. We can't explain why but we were the only ones making use of this great area today. The cache was a nice easy find as it was partially exposed . After signing the log we decided to make use of the shade and have lunch here.
Thanks rallywragon for the cache

Was camping in the area so the wife and I had a short stroll to GZ. It was a total fire ban day so the CFA had set the water pump up ready to go. The CFA are truly the silent heroes that lay quiet until needed and then pounce into action when required. TFTC. Regards Ric

Found at 1445 hours, on my way to Merton, to camp on his sisters block for the weekend.Great hide, nice river.

A nice little stream flowing by the cache which was found quite quickly.

Thanks Rallywrxwagon for the stop.

Not too hard of a search. I have seen something similair to this in Shep only as recently as a week ago.
Signed log and it was off again.

TFTC, Cheers.

A quick easy find at 7:25am. A similar hide not far from my home helped me with finding the one; a year ago I would have had to log a DNF! The creek was running quite high today with the recent rains.

Thanks!

Found at 11.45 am. Nice hide in a pretty spot for a stop. Not sure that it still complies with the Additional Hint, though? TNLNSL TFTC

Found on our way back from Mansfield. Many thanks.
Greg and Bev

Found while fishing this area. Nice little hide.

Found this one while camping nearby in Buxton. Nice hide in a pretty spot. Very quiet at 7am.

A quick morning find on the way to the Cathedrals with feathertop. A clever hiding technique. Thanks Rally.

I noticed that this cache was accidently overlooked by us on our visit to this area last year. Today it was a quick grab in a tranquil spot. An easy cache before tackling the heights nearby. Thanks

Found at 1845. Pulled up right on top of GZ, got out, found it within a 30 secs, and then got back in the car to go. Then I got out again and decided to just sit for 5 mins and relax after a great Australia Day weekend of caching. Nice little spot.

TNLN. TFTF.

Found by edmil (maddie away at a girls Kumbyah weekend ) I decided to go out for a short 150km drive, beats staying home cutting the grass, cleaning up etc. I was seeking the nearby (well not too far away) High voltage cache. As this was a drive by I stopped and had the cache in hand very quickly. Nice hide, seen many of these sort of camouflages without a cache though. Thanks for the cache.

Silly not to have a look for this one as I was driving past. Reminds me of one that is hidden near Shepparton.

Nice hide ... liked this one very much easy find but cleverly thought out.

TFTC TNLNSL

Found at 13:15 by Kev while Jess waited in the car after a perfect morning of horse riding at nearby Rubicon Valley. Nice 'n easy find in a lovely spot.

Clever hide in a nice spot. We didn't get our feet wet, but if the water was a couple of inches higher, we probably would have.

Thanks Rallywrxwagon

Found 9:55, a very clever hide in a great spot.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks Rallywrxwagon.

Found at lunch time. First thought was, I am not jumping into that cold water ! Hang on I said to myself. Smallest cache I have found so far. Thanks Rallywrxwagon for a fantastic cache.

I was finally able to retrieve this one although it was touch and go as the creek looks like it has been filled up. Thanks Steve for the cache.

The coords here bounced me round a bit but after I had another read of the notes it was found soon after. This it the first one of its type I have seen. First log on a new sheet I suspect.

Thanks RallyWRXWagon

All fixed new cache can no longer get stuck.

[For what it is worth, The two previous finders are very, very confident that it was left not too far up and was the correct way in. It could not be any further up than the handy tool that we used to extract it with in the first place. In fact, if we had used that tool it would have come back out again, so it was not that far in! We were quite conscious of the need to leave it properly in place. Sorry to hear it has become a problem - may I suggest - ]ram something tight in there at the distance needed to stop the cache going any further. [ I've seen it done before and it works well. Cheers.]

We had the same problem when we found this cache - the cache was pushed right up around the bend.

We retrieved it by hitting the metal repeatedly with my fist causing the metal to oscillate.
The cache popped straight out, no problems.
If someone is passing this cache - try it out

Offline till I can recover cache or replace it.

I found the cache but it sure was a long way in, The magnet only works if the bottom is facing down and all I could see with my torch was the lid. The cache is now to far in to get it out.

Found without drama once at gz, although at first retrieval was a concern. Rally's helful new information hit the spot as every car surely carries something that will make this an easy task, as it was for us. Thanks rally for a neat little hide and a break in the drive.

Found on our 12 hour Eildon region caching day with Alansee.Pulled up a the quaint rest-stop and Alansee hit the spot first .After a dash to the car for a special item we soon had the well hidden cache and logged the micro book together.Thanks to rallywrxwagon.

Found @ 1pm as returning home.
Nice easy find, wish more were like this.
TFTC

As this didn't require much of a detour I was allowed to log it (isn't Amy generous?!). Locating the cache was simple enough, but with nothing to retrieve it efficiently Amy kicked it until it relented! That's why I don't argue with her .

Thanks Steve,

Just dropping some coins to register correct distance. The coins have already been collected.

Found at 4.35pm
Like others it took us a few minutes to discover the retrieval technique,
Pretty little creek
Thanks

Found by Roma and Max.
Very very cunning.
Finding the container was relatively easy, as the co-ordinates were spot on as is usual for this hider, retrieval was entirely a different matter.
Then the penny dropped!
It does pay to be mechanically minded, at times like this.
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Rally, this type of challenge does make our game all that much more enjoyable!
Romax.

Found at 10.25am GAFF1. Tricky little hide and we were somehow put off the scent for a while by a comment in the cache page! We explored both sides of the creek before finding the cache. Thanks Rallywrxwagon.

Found by M.B and team rabbitto.

A nice little area. And hmm cache.. A good place to hide it but looks like cache can be pushed into its spot a little too much and can be very difficult to take out.. Thanks for the cache from M.B

G'day Rallywrxwagon,

We found your cache today at 3:55pm as the twelfth of seventeen on our Rubicon or Bust tour with XFKing. Finding the cache - 2 minutes. Retreiving the cache - 7 minutes. Thanks for our 18th Rallywrxwagon cache.

Kind Regards,

Found 200701301645 . A nice quick find and interesting hide

TNLN

Cheers Rally

Found today while in the area. Nice hide! Yes there are a lot of areas calling to be filled up. Thanks for the cache Rally.

Our second FTF for the day. Found it in about 5 min, wrote in the log, then spend 15 minutes looking for the lid (only to find it in a very obvious place). Took TB Firefly.
