"Whereis" the SatNav Doesnt Meet The Road #2 Corio, Victoria, Australia
By DrWevil on 23-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19M5A

This one is a gone to the great cache in the sky.... And is gone for good

Wow did I feel out in the open for the neighbourhood to watch. I didn't feel comfortable making an exhaustive search here.

After viewing the photos I know why I didn't find it- the power pole has just been dug up & replaced. Very recently disturbed dirt at its base. ??

Quick find while driving from Geelong to Melbourne. TFTC

As a beginner, I am still astonished at where these caches are hiding!

Treated this as a drive by. Felt on show however there were no muggles to be seen so signed the log and drove off wondering about the name.
TFTC DrWevil

This is one of those ones that I can't believe are still around. The possible muggle factor is huge but maybe they just don't care. A quick easy find, unbelievable !! TFTC.

Found whilst on the way to collect a cache or two around the area!!

Nice easy find and made a quick grab, sign & was on my way!

Thanks DrWevil for bringing me here!

'Ditto what Moosetash said'!

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Signed Log

*Cache Condition ~ Fine!

Our map is up to date on this one, surprisingly, as it is wrong plenty of other times! Tftc.

Easy find since spider webs dont bother me. Found and logged, then on to the next

Have to agree with you here, I approached the crossroad that my car sat nav was showing. If I believed it, I would have parked in someone's loungeroom! Anyway, parked right at GZ, grabbed the cache quickly and returned. Thanks to DrWevil for this one and the idea for the series.

Nice drive by without any problems. Thanks for the cache.

Hidden well but easy to find

Interesting these little mapping errors, signed the log and outta there! T4TC.

2nd find of the day, and 3022nd total find at 10:54:00 AM.

We've tried this cache before. Last time we encountered a bunch of feral bogans on the street nearby - so we gave it a miss. This time the street was deserted, and it was a nice quick find.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks DrWevil for the cache

At 16.00h(EDST), I tried to drive directly to this cache, but a house got in my way. TNLNSL TFTC - Unka Dave.

A very easy find whilst on the way back to Melbourne from Geelong. We were sat in the Road House on the main road when we saw this one on the device 200m away. T4TC

Quick and easy

Easy find.

muggles eye's are everywhere.

A quick find as we make our way home after a day on the Bellarine. TFTC

Hey, just where did that road go? A very quick drive by - really no need to even exit the vehicle!

A quick find here, I like it! SL. TFTC. cloudglider

Stopped off to do this one quickly while on my way down to Kardinia Park to watch the Mighty Cats enjoy another win. A nice easy find.

Found at 1.25pm - Our seventh for the day on the way to an evening in Clifton Springs visiting friends. We had detoured here for jaffles at the nearby Roadhouse so this was too close not to pay a visit to. A quick easy find TFTC

Another cache found today with 911outrun
T4TC

4131. [font=Book Antiqua][green]Was a bit wary of approaching this one given[green] that it's completely surrounded by possibly prying eyes. However I brushed those aside, swooped and then made off to log. Returned just as quickly and then away to the next cache.

TFTC and the deuce.[/green][/green][font=Verdana]

Rated: for Overall Experience

The Pisces Travelling Zodiac visited the cache.

One of 46 finds for the night while out with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) for a night cache run down to Geelong. This was one of those ultimate drivebys where we stopped, Marshy lept out of the car and had the cache found and signed even before I had time to turn the ignition off. TFTC.

One of 46 finds for the night with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671) on our Melbourne to Geelong night cache run. Nice quick one. Drive by. I have a few areas up my way like this. Might have to put a few in and continue the series. Will let you know.

Didn't know if I could get this as people were very close by but pulled up right next to it made like I was getting something out the car grabbed it signed it placed it back without them turning there heads. TFTC

Easy find after our weekend shopping today. Hope the lawn-mowing muggles did not get too suspicious about us.
As the log was choc-a-bloc full of entries, we added another log sheet.
TFTC

Easy find. Thanks

Quick find. TFTC!

GoogleMaps had the right info, so I'm happy enough with the mapping of the area. I couldn't spot anything in the cache about a GCA cache nearby, I'll have to check their website to see what the fuss is about. I used space on the information side of the logbook, so it's getting to the stage where people will just sign wherever there is spare space. Like I did.

Easy find. Parked beside it and pretended to look for something in the trunk.

On the way to Ocean Grove for the weekend with crank1.
Nice find

Easy drive by even if the sat nav doesn't agree.

nice little hide

nice find but needs new paper, filled the last spot!

Found 11:50, in the company of Muzza.

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks DrWevil.

Found with Biggles Bear on our way to a surprise BBQ for Maccamob's 10,000+ cache celebration. Although at the time of the find, both my Garmin and Tom Tom GPSs had the correct mapping in this area, I certainly recall having seen other anomolies in my travels. Thanks for the cache.

Might be time to replace the log, when we found it, there was only 1 space left!

Nice easy one for me, it's right across the road from my Fathers house!

Don't stress about the locals either, they know it's there and what it's all about.

Seventh of thirty finds for the day on our try-and-find-as-many-multi-caches during our G-Town visit.

Wow! I think the person that last replaced this cache, must've been a child, it was a long long way down!

We found it a little odd to be searching here in suburbia, lucky its a rather quiet street.

Thanks DrWevil for placing this cache.

had to use all my cunning to get this one. the log only has 1 spot left

Found it @ approx. 17:05

I felt a bit exposed retrieving this one. Map is good on the TOMTOM & NAVMAN. Sorry?

first for the day with picking up a few caches around town nice easy quick find

Thanks for this cache - hiding location was new to me, but not too difficult to find (micros often give me trouble) and it filled in a gap in my day very nicely. I quite like the idea of these caches in 'normal places' - a bit of a change.

Find #5 of 27 on our day in Geelong. Easy find, thought we could see it as we parked alongside GZ, but it was something else. But a short search quickly uncovered the well-hidden little container. We felt a little suspicious in front of all of the nearby windows, so I hope the neighbours are friendly around here. TNLN. Cheers!

Nice quick found it with Everlasting TFTC

Accompanied with Crank1, On the way to Geelong for the day. SL. Thanks DrWevil

8.00am
Found by Roma and Max.
Yes our Garmin auto routing receiver was confused here as well.
Thanks DrWevil for bringing us here.

Good Cache quick find TFTC TNLN SL

Found this on my Geelong trip. TFTC

Interesting cache name - though we had no navigation issues.

Found with Moneydork, Rediguana, Tofska, and Pohutukawa on my last day of our 2 week Australian visit based around our attendance at the Wagga Mega event.
Enjoyed the find.

Haven't seen these hides anywhere else. T4TC, M@

Heh - no map error for us this evening Cheers Gav [5728]

We're not sure what the navigation issue is with this one - all was fine on our GPSr's

A quick find at a mistake early mornining - thanks DrWevil

good one, did this after i got my weekly petrol.
nice and easy find---no muggles that I could see.---will do sat nav 1 later in the week

2nd Geocache find SL
This was a local walk for us and a great introduction to GeoBoy. Luckily we didn't encounter Mr Black Spider ;p

We parked 1 meter away from the cache which was just as well as there were people in the front yards of 2 nearby houses.
Grabbed and replaced while looking for stuff in the boot.

fun and easy quick one - though at night a lot of creepy spiders are out to play.. a big black spider gave us a fright but it was all good.

A nice easy drive by whilst getting abused...gotta love road rage.

Almost put hand in wrong area... Please watch out for big black spider...

This was the third cache of 43 for the day, on our tour of Geelong and the Surf Coast. No trouble on this one, I guess you get used to these little discrepancies on most Sat Navs. My thanks to DrWevil for the cache.

Found it 5/8/2009 Now DrWevil - this was an amazing anomaly! Almost as good as the TomTom having me driving around in the ocean when I was actually on perfectly good land further up the coast 18 months or so ago. Thanks for showing me this

A nice quiet weekend with very few people about. Easy find. TFTC

Nice easy find this morning tftc!!

Found this cache today while visiting Geelong.
Thank you very much for showing this place
OSM couldn't find it, my TOPO could.
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

My GPS had no problems bringing me to this place. The street was empty so I could quickly grab the cache.

A great drive by, in a quite little street. TFTH.....SL....TNLN

Found by Bob at 1300

It's nice to be prepared for these little navigational quirks but, in this case, my TomTom had the right info and was able to get me to GZ with no problems at all (it does have 2009 maps installed though). It may be the case that it's a "deliberate" mistake - as the map producers do incorporate small errors at times so that they can pick up illegal copyright infringements i.e. if people use their maps to produce their own, they can check for these "errors" to see if they were copied. I learned this via the OpenStreetMap Project.

Thanks Dr Wevil - a neat hide.

Found it tonight at 7:30pm with my mini bugg. Thought this one would be good to do at night ..... not many muggles around. Nice hide. My GPS does have the right maps at this point. Left a 10cent coin. TFTC

A nice Easy Drive By.

Found 8.45am
Always good to start off a days caching with an easy find so I was a bit worried about this one being a micro. However, we should not have worried as it was a quick easy find .... just what we wanted.

Thanks DrWevil for the cache

After an absence of nearly 2 years The Swaggies are back in the Geelong area.
We tried this on the way into Geelong earlier in the day, but everyone was out in the front yard, but on the way home in the early evening the place was empty. Thanks DrWevil for the cache.

Great idea for a cache, nice easy find, and a clever container.
Thanks Dr Wevil FTC

Find # 176 @ 11:50 Nice and easy find. SL

Here with Big Matt and Steeba as part of our Vic invasion weekend. Someone did well to discover this error. I certainly missed it first time on the gizmo.
Thanks

Found on Victorian invasion trip with Big Matt and The Rats.

Bit of a drive down here from the last cache. An interesting spot. More than once I've come unstuck with the car GPS. Usually if it says to take a trail you're in trouble.

TFTC!
