07-Jun-15
Dog sitting duties this weekend so decided to clear up a few caches that I have been meaning to do for quite some time and let Tess have a few walks in the bush as I slowly creep towards the next milestone. I love travelling these backroads as you never know where you will end up and what you will see. Nanna certainly would have enjoyed the view from up here. Thanks whitejaegar
 
05-May-15
I stopped by on the way to Geelong from Ballarat to take in Nanna's View.
I can vouch for the warning in the cache notes about the nearby prickles and now know how the local Blackberry Lane got its name Smile
Thanks for the cache and the view, whitejaegar.

[red]Find #2234 Traditional #1854 [/red] Big Grin

I left home early to a very cold and misty morning. When I turned up here for my first find of the day, the rain started to get heavier. It was still pitch black so with my trusty torch, I found this one quickly thankfully and stamped the log in the car. Returned as found Big Grin

What a great day out. I left home at 5:09am only to finish at 6:37pm with a total of 51 finds for the day. Enjoyed some great company with two events in the Ballarat area and picked up some great D/T ratings along with enough mystery puzzles for the challenge cache.

[blue]Thanks for this cache hide, white jaegar [^] Log and container were in good condition. Smile TNLN [/blue]

Ventured down this little track hoping we wouldn't have to do a U bolt at any point. Found the cache and a travelbug. Took the bug and a photo of the great view!! Thanks for bringing us here!!!
 
26-Jan-15
A nice view of the surrounding landscape and also of the neighbours windmill. We had decided to drop off a TB who wanted to visit windmills so retreated to the car to complete the logging and taking a farewell photo. It was during this process that we noticed a couple of ladies admiring the view and the trees, hmmm we thought if they are cachers and we have the container ..... not good. So it was time to say hello and to met a some fellow cachers. Motanddarg signed the log while we chatted and were soon on their way. Having got our windmill photo we returned the cache to its hiding spot, admired the view and headed off on our next adventure.
 
26-Jan-15
After not being able to find a cache in Buninyong due to b..... .. bike riding,horrible, wrecking little kids. we ventured to this area. As we approached,another car was parked where we wanted to be. We thought yes they had to be cachers. We exchanged greetings with Sisso and didn't have to locate the cache as they had it with them, intending to take a photo with the windmill. Make our "find" easy! TFTC

Found tonight on the way home from Daylesford.
Prickles? Yep there is some of those! I spotted the cache and was so enthusiastic about getting it that I dived straight in - through the prickles. All good, no major injuries, just a few bits of hair lost when I tried getting myself untangled. Much to the amusement of GeoRob sitting in the car! Thanks whitejaegar for hiding the cache.

Amazing view of buninyong - beautiful
 
10-Jun-14
And an impressive view it is too! My thirteenth and final find for the day in and around Buninyong. I have intended to find this cache on several occasions but never quite managed to get here - until today. I approached from one side earlier but didn't like the look of it in the Geo6E, so left it until I was on the way home, parked below and chose to walk in from the opposite end. As it turned out I could have driven from the other direction, but it was a pleasant walk which involved scenic views and alpacas...oh and those barking dogs...but as others have found, no-one came to investigate and the dogs stayed firmly on their side of the road whilst I found the cache, signed the log, snapped some pics and departed.
Thanks whitejaegar Big Grin!

Found on an afternoon out caching with geobuddy BJ. 17 finds, only 1 DNF and no lurking huntsman made for a good day out Wink TN, left a ladybug. Glad I left the boy in the car as two dogs came racing down the drive across the road barking and although they didn't come out they were keeping a close eye on me. Things may have been different with a German Shepherd added to the mix! TFTC highrod

Worth the side trip. Careful though if driving south from Balla(a)rat - the road sign is about 50m after where you need to turn off the highway.

Find No.329. Found with FUF009 at 6.05pm.
Heading home from a day trip to Torquay and FUF009 thought this would be an easy drive by cache to get but being dark made it difficult to get to, especially when we didn't know the area and we went up the wrong road and had to double back.

Took beads. Left dinocaur. TFTC
 
08-Jun-13
Find #636 @ 1805H

Heading home form a day trip to Torquay with Tyred n Cranky.

Being dark we didn't get much of a view of the area but it was interesting seeing all the lights over Ballarat.

Took dice
Left Lego rubber

31-Mar-13
Easy find, without too much time searching on our first day. Choose to walk in from the nearby turnoff, which gave us the chance to appreciate the views. Had to keep a close ear and eye out for cars after nearly getting cleaned up by a someone going a bit too fast round the bends.

Too easy. Thanks nana.
 
Very appropriately found this with our nana. Cleaned out the cache and added a make do note book but would be good to be maintained. Easy to find one so good for our kids thanks.
 
12-Mar-13
It definitely needs a new log book and maybe a clean out and/ or new container and swaps.
 
11-Mar-13
This one popped up on our radar as we descended Mt Buninyong. There has been a lot of clearing and cleaning up taking place along this road and we hoped we would be able to find the cache. No sign of any prickles, but the cache has been quite wet and everything inside, including the very full log book, is in poor condition. We did not have any spares with us today. SL at 10am TNLN The view was grand and with some owner maintenance this cache will be well worth a visit. #1464 Thanks for taking us along this pretty little road whitejaegar.
 
28-Jan-13
Easy find. However log is damp and cache is in need of maintenance.
