Harrison's Cache Enfield, Victoria, Australia
By whitejaegar on 08-Feb-08. Waypoint GC196QC

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Disabling so we can investigate.
Thanks for the feedback.

3 teams, no luck.

Have to agree with BPJTHillas- had a good scout around, but it looks like DSE did a top job with their Prescribed Burn & the cache, like many in such areas, has gone also. Needs to be checked out.

This certainly seems to have gone in the burnoff, shame it's a great spot

Hmmmmm! Wondering if this one is still around with all the burning off that has gone on. There hasn't been a find since October 2011. Could this one be checked please.

At 15.30h, I wondered about the work that had gone into making the water storage in those days. Took - TB (cinderella's ball). Left - toy car, small tools & fridge magnet. TFTC - Unka Dave.

This one took a little bit of finding - even after reading the hint - and was left up to the geo-wife to make the find. Hope Samantha's Princess is OK in here - it was very squashed... and there were better places we passed a bit further on. It was a nice spot for a break. Thanks.

nice quick found had to help robeert with this one

Found it with Packafattys, sometime within the last week, forgot to log. thanks for the story that this cache has brought

Found while travelling up to Ballarat to stay and find cache's with Packafattys. TFTC

A quick drive by grab with Just a cacher on a run through the Victorian countryside. A chance to stretch the legs (both 2 & 4) and an opportunity to take in the view with a cuppa.

Thanks for the cache whitejaegar

A rushed trip to Melbourne for non-caching purposes, but we thought we might as well get a few on the way.
I loved this area. Had a cuppa, let the dogs out for a run, found a cache, and saw the old distillery. Lovely spot. Cache took some finding.
Thank you, whitejaegar.

this is a VERY WELL hidden cache! and the 'not in obvious place' is very very true. Thanks to a fellow cacher who had written in a log. Had a muggle help me look and 'man a life' ive never spent so long looking for a cache!! Very well hidden!!

Interesting bit of history and a well hidden cache. Found it at 1200 in company with Bushfire, our #2 for our day out.
SL TFTC cloudglider

Friday the 13th May, cold, wet but the Cloud Glider and the ageing Bushfire decided to add a few more smilies to our profiles in this part of the state.

Interesting place to visit and learn a little more about the early history of this part of Victoria.

A well thought hide as it was not where we thought it would be so well done.The log was signed and we were off to the next. Thanks whitejaegar for placing this cache.

I was sad to find out that instead of distilling some kind of delectable eucalyptus flavoured liquor, they made eucalyptus oil. We can only dream.

Nice little spot of history. TFTC

Quick one on a driveby though took a surprisingly long time to find as it isn't in quite the obvious place.
TFTC.

Enjoyed being able to write 1/1/11 in our log entry. We used to live in this area (before we were introduced to geocaching) so it was good to be able to find a cache and drive past the old house!

Nice one. Loved the spot.
Great one for the kids to find. Shame it was drizzling rain, or we would have stayed longer.
Left a Mexican peso (dollar) from our recent trip to Mexico. Took an Aussie pencil.

Found at just after 1pm. Almost gave up on this one then I spotted it out of the corner of my eye. Nice area. Lots of water around. Thanks
Whitejagear. TNLN

Good find. nice little place. we were all about to give up and i was about to hop in the car when my daughter yellled out that she found it. we left a water gun and took a polly pocket macca's toy.

Found by Team Ranger on a full day round trip caching.

An easy find, last for the day. Nice little spot.

A quick find and log on a day out with sully1. TFTC

A nice quick easy find on a days caching with micaparamedic. TNLNSL. Thanks to whitejaeger

bit of digging in the wrong spot..... then found the real spo and no digging... TFTC

Easy cache find, some barb wire and rusty bolts still evident from era. Thanks for bringing me to this area. TFTC.

After a bit we found this cache 6mt away fron GZ. TFTC

thanks whitejaegar for the find, nice quick find on a barmy evening. cheers

6th cache find, of 6 for the evening.
Howdy Neighbour!
We were driving past so we had a go with out any cache notes.
Nice easy find with an interesting site nearby.

Found this afternoon, no swaps.

Thanks for the cache

Found 14:40, in the company of Muzza, a nice interesting location.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks whitejaegar.

This was cache # 13 on a day out caching round Ballarat with Biggles Bear. Nice quick find with a bit of history added. The link didn't work for me today. My thanks to whitejaegar for the cache.

Find # 721 @ 16:45 and 15th of 17 for the day.
Not much left of the distilliary now. Looked around to see if anyone had hidden some full bottles but all I came up with was a cache. TNLN Thanks for the cache whitejaegar!

gorgeous and peaceful little spot

We found our 9th Whitejaeger cache at 2:30pm as the 19th of 40 on our Ballaratatattat Tour V in company of Backpaqer. We were intent looking at one spot when Backpaqer looked over at another a couple of metres away and said that it was over there. I looked to where he had pointed and I could see it peeping out. He then went over and started to ferret around in another spot around a foot away from the cache and it took me a few seconds to realise that he hadn't actually spotted it at all. Thanks for the cache from D B-A.

Nice spot just off the road, easy find by the geopuggle. TFTC. Will be an even nicer spot if the wetland ever fills.

Acting on a spur of the moment decision, my brother (Daz) and I decided to do a trio of caches that were only a few minutes from home. With a little guidance, Daz's son Dale (aged 7 and a half) found it within 10 minutes.

Found @ 1504 on the way home after cruising a couple of 4wd tracks in Enfield State Park. The GPS went a bit haywire (probably not a bright move on my part parking under a tree) and while I toyed about Mrs Mud made the find. After a quick log and rehide it was back on the road to head home, but not begore q quick stroll around the very low dam.
TNLNSL.
Thanks for bringing us to this piece of history we may have otherwised missed!

RedPaw64 found this cache at 1140. Enjoyed the cache

Happy Caching

The last of the day Found at 3.00pm today with beanie
Another era has gone by but it would have had a pleasant aroma around the area back in those days.

TNLN

Thanks whitejaeger for the cache

Sam and friends along with Geo Dog wanted to check this site out on the way back from Ballarat. Pulled in to find the cache fully exposed at GZ and TB sitting outside of cache..can only assume it was muggled by someone or thing. Left a small Teddy Bear and took Kanga to move on to Adelaide. Replaced cache in a well camoed spot so not so accessible.TFTC

17:50
Mrs P had a crazy idea that we should complete the Warrnambool trip on a multiple of 10!
We dropped off Kanga the travel bug, thinking he may be more at home in this pleasant bush setting.
TFTC whitejaegar

Found on my way home from Apollo Bay.
Tried this one on the trip TO Apollo bay, and failed to find (don't know why, but ahh well!!) and retied on the return trip and found easily!!
We had to drive around a specimen of road kill at the entrance to this area, and we could smell it all the way at the cache (at least 25m away!!!) PHEW!!!
Find 489. TNLNSL. 2.30pm.
Thanks

Found with RoundCircle.

TFTC

GeoFerret and friend came out with me today. This one was the first of four. I was surprised to see the remains of the manufacturing that must have occurred on this site. It would be interesting to see some photos or drawing of the site in it's heyday.

I think they have changed the link to the history to http://www.fgb.com.au/AdditionalInfo/EucHistory.html

Cache was well hidden, but didn't take long to find.

No swaps today.

TFTC.

Whilst riding past on the first day of the Great Victorian Bike Ride

Found while passing this way on the GVBR. An interesting location and hide.

Found @ 16:10. Found on the way to Rokewood to help set up camp and get things organised for the first stop of the Great Victorian Bike Ride. Found in a common hide. TFTC TNLNSL

A quick pickup on the way through Enfield this morning. A pleasant little area at GZ, almost park-like. Would love to see the dam full of water. The wildlife would be amazing. No swaps but I took the Seafarer TB. Many thanks for the cache Whitejaegar.

A nice spot and a new plaque too. Cache was found easily, and the cammo is coming off but all should be well for a while yet. thanks whitejeager.

The good hiding place and well camouflaged container had us hunting for this for quite some time, this wasn’t a problem as the location was nice and we had it to ourselves. TNLNSL and enjoyed this first hunt of the day. Thanks whitejaeger.

Found today while caching south of Ballarat. Interesting history and nice to hear the frogs in the nearby swamp. In flag, out keyring. We also left The Mariner TB

Bug drop

A nice little spot which I have pasted by many times and never notice thanks for the hide and for show me this area

We were away nice and early this morning, still dark in fact. We were headed for Cressy when Deano asked whether I'd seen this spot. Although not a lot could be seen in the dark I was interested by the history Dean informed me of.

Thanks,

R - B

Find # 2426 and 21st of the day at 4:01pm. Accompanied by Feathertop on another cache cleanup day in and around Ballarat. A nice drive -by. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Whitejaegar....

Found today at 1145 hrs with Mrs1SR. An easy find in a nice little spot.
TNLN
thanks Whitejaegar

Found by McAdies.
We only had the co-ordinates in the GPSr so no hints for this one and it took ages to find! We were pretty sure of the location and a bit of perseverance payed off with a find.
Great little spot too.
TNLN
Thanks Whitejaegar.

This was another interesting site that this part of the world has no shortage of. The cache was located in the second place we looked but unfortunately not the first time we looked there and ashamedly not even the third.
Took datsun key ring and left peugot key ring
Thanks whitejaeger

Thought this one would be a quick drive-by, but spent a long time searching what we thought was the obvious location. Almost ready to give up before maccamob found the tricky hide. Great location - thanks for bringing us here.

Found by Mary & David at 1705 in company with GeoJo. An interesting and historic site. There were a few places to check and we only found the cache on the third pass. TNLN. Our thanks to whitejaegar.

A nice easy drive by before attacking Trex No1 and 100 not out.
Found it at 16:15 with MrsFJ1 and geoDy.

T: Notepad & Crystal L: Packet of chalk & star wars pen.

Thanks whitejaegar for the cache

I can lay claim to have found this one while feathertop was looking elsewhere. Spot on coords meant there could only be one place so I perservered and got my reward. Nice little layby. Thanks.

A lovely little area to visit on a hot day. I like a bit of history and a pretty area. Featherdown grabbed the cache in a spot I'd already looked. Thanks whitejaeger.

After 3 "looks" and assistance from 2Dudez, I finally picked up this cache. Amazing how much time you can spend on the obvious and only inches from success.

Picked up coin and cow TB, T - bottle opener, L -Sticky notes.

TFTC Whitejager, I thought it was well hidden.

First of 4 FTFs on this morning's wee hours caching run.
found at 6AM, thanks to whitejaegar for the nice FTF prize.
A lovely historical area, that I would never have found if it weren't for geocaching.
Should cache early in the morning more often, as the sounds of the bush were just starting as the sun was begining to rise.
Took badge, left Geocoin.
Thanks again whitejaeger
