No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

cache seems to be unfindable or even gone!!

Spent an hour going through the place inch by inch and there is nothing there!!
Taking what the others have also said.. i think its gone!!

I like others could not find it, maybe the owner could check it out and we will know for sure. I will put a watch on it.

Had a good look around and DNF

Doubled back from the nearby Eureka caches, although I was originally looking in the wrong spot, the hint set me right! TFTC for another find while visiting Ballarat from Adelaide.

Tristan has come for a flying visit back in time.

I have no idea why we didn't find this the last time we were here, maybe because I was worried about my kitties in the car, no idea.
Today was an very easy find in the first place I looked. Positive we looked here the last time.
No matters, finally turned the frown upside down.
Thanks fozzy778 for the cache.

i must confess this had me stumped for a while but the bf had the right idea and we found it after all.... thanks

Find # 681 @ 10:50 and 3rd for the day on the Ballarat cache run.
Found after a short search.
SL Thanks fozzy778

Attempted to look for this on the way back to Melbourne after staying for the weekend in Ballarat.
Spent around 10 mins looking, and even after using the hint, decided to abandon this search as I had cats in carry cages left in a mostly full sun car.
Decided it wasn't such a fantastic idea to leave them inside a car that was starting to heat up. I promise I didn't go to the pokies!
Will need to come back again sometime to search again.
Thanks fozzy778 for the cache.

Coordinates were bang on. Had a good chuckle when Eynowd looked right at the cache, and missed it.

Found with Eynowd, Xtumech, and Gabbadabbadoo on our roadtrip holiday.

TFTC!

#615 at 1117

As it turns out, this was the last cache Dvixen, Xtumech, Gabbadabbadoo and I found on our Victoria Roadtrip

Still, it's a neat example of the old style of bridges. It would have been a tough find without the clue. Dvixen was ready to head underneath, but I held out for up top, and she went with that and found the cache.

TNLNSL TFTC!

above, under, below, up, ... clearly way to many options for Mr Cheesy Pigs as he was just a little confused at this one
I considered the win mine but he's bigger than me so he wins by default
Thanks for the cache fozzy778

I was being dumb at this cache. I thought that the hint meant we would have to get under the bridge and look up. Redtag found the cache and laughed at me for thinking we would have to get under the bridge. Then she opened the cache and managed to flick the log sheet over the bridge... and she had to go under the bridge to retireve the sheet. I'm counting that as a win for me.

Thanks Fozzy778

With so many caches in Ballarat we thought we better hop to it! Nice area.

So much work was done in the old days around this area. The information about this link is just awesome. TFTC TNLN

this one well hidden but as usual the kids beat me again
TFTC

This cache is in a good hiding spot, and it is easy to get even while there are muggles around. You can just pretend to be a bit of a train-spotter. You only need to pretend too because we all know that none of us are that geeky! Signed log, thanks for the trains and the cache.

Found @ 16:39
I thought that I was going to need a ladder.
Then it clicked.

Log was slightly damp but i made sure it was well sealed before replacing it.

My very first find. Found after my second trip back, although the second time it seemed very obvious.
TFTC

Even though it was drizzling, the five of us went chasing after the bunny trail cache. Seemed like a nice trail down below. Too bad about the weather, but most of us enjoyed caching in Ballarat nonetheless. Thanks fozzy778.

this little bunny followed the trail to have a quick grab walking up to the area you wouldnt have thought that there was anyware to hide something nice job.

An easy find and an interesting storyboard nearby. Now I've been to both ends of the line. SL TFTC 16 of 20 for the day.

Found while on a four day caching adventure with O'Cholio. TFTC.

The hint had Mr O and JO08 wondering how anyone could reach that high, but some lateral (or rather, conventional) thinking by Mr O had the cache found after about 5 minutes. TFTC.

boy a lot of folk have found this one! very interesting area - nice hide as well

Biking around Ballarat and a couple of hours to spend before getting onto the computers at the Public Library. Yep, Pat is now a convert as he was keen to come with me. I love these caches that take you to a bit of history. TFTC

Good wee hide. Found OK on a rather brief visit to Ballarat.

Wicked, cache number 40 for my cvgt3 weekend!!!
Found this one at 1538,, the log was wet n dodgy, so i put it in a seperate bag and left a few bits of fresh paper in there.
P.S sorry for the delay in typing these up,, i have been fighting with my laptop lately!!!

2007 re-logging due to name change

Another Ballarat cache found late in the night with my two experienced chauffeurs Team Rubik and 2dudez. You know I will never learn to really read cache pages before I attempt. I would save myself a lot of embarrassment I tell you.
No wonder the other guys looked at me strange when I got the hunting rifle, 6 ferrets, and a heshen bag out of the boot. Well I did have egg on my face when I got to GZ and found out what the place actually was.
The cache was found easy enough but things did turn sour as I was writing the log. It was difficult to try and balance the cache, 6 ferrets and a shot gun in the dark and rain. Anyway, too make a short story long I dropped the shot gun it discharged which startled the ferrets who then ran up Team Rubik's leg. Now anyone that knows what a ferret is would know they have sharp claws and teeth. Needless to say Rubik was dancing around yelling out 'get it off, get it off'. I tried to help by ripping his strides off, and then 2dudez told us to be quiet as a police car was driving past. This did not stop Rubik from bellowing the place down so 2dudez put the heshen bag over Rubik's head to try and make him quiet. It was all to no avail I might add as the police lights came on.
Now if you want to know what the definition of impossible is then you try and explain to a police officer why there are 3 blokes standing on a bridge in the dark with one holding a shotgun and another naked from the waist down attached to a ferret and with a bag over his head.
Police officer: "Hello, hello what have we 'ere"
2dudez: "Just geocaching officer.'
Police officer: "No worries lads. Have a good night then".
TFTC fozzy778. Oh, yeah thank your mother for the rabbits.

Here are some tips for rabbit hunting as well:
1. Be sure to obtain a hunting license or permit before you go hunting. Here are some things to consider:
* Many states require a Hunters Safety Course before issuing permits to hunters.
* Learning proper gun handling techniques will make the hunt safer.
* Hunt with a responsible adult if you are underage.
2. Get a Gun. A 22 caliber with long/long rifle hollow points, or a small guage shotgun like a .410, 28 gauge, or 20 gauge should work well. Shotguns will leave pellets in the rabbit, so consider using steel, rather than lead shot in #6 or #7 1/2 game loads.
3. Target practice until you are proficient with your gun. The rimfire rifle will kill quickly and cleanly if the shot is placed correctly, but poor marksmanship will result in injured rabbits suffering and possibly being lost.
4. Find a place to hunt. You can't just hunt anywhere. Find a game management area or a forest or farm that is privately owned where you can obtain permission to hunt!
5. Select the technique you will use to hunt your game. Rabbits may be hunted by chasing with dogs, hunting from a stand, or driving them.
6. Once you bag one, field dress it. If you want to, get an organ plunger. They go into its body and, like a wine cork, pulls them out!
7. Keep the head and the fur, and eat the meat cooked.
8. Let the land owner know when you will be hunting.
9. Offer the land owner maybe 1 out of 10 rabbits to sweeten the deal.

We found our 10th Fozzy778 cache at 9:40am as the 3rd of 23 on our Central Vic Event III tour in company of Pprass. We were passing so we did a quick drop in on a cache that Pprass had already found. Is there a use for the clue that we found under the lid? Thanks for the cache from D & H B-A.

don't know if my other log went through. this is a nice one alright. make sure you read the board for a little of Ballarat history. no time to go for a walk today....but maybe another....?

Found on the way to New Zealand's South Island for a week of touring and caching.

Up and then down, up and then down, Mr Nilbog was interested in the history, Mrs Nilbog was more interested in the cache. Mr Nilbog ironically found it. TFTC.

Found after search along trail. Don't know what the clue leads to though. TFTC TNLNSL

Found while girlfriend was getting a greater education.
Warm day but enjoyed some great caching ... in some very dodgy areas.

A quick cache for the start of our afternoon in Ballarat.
Not too much difficulty once we eliminated the first area we checked which left only one logical place, and that's where we found the cache.
Took nothing, left nothing.

Located on our day visit to Ballarat. Didn't take long to locate.

Took a little while to find this one today, tried it from below but got a little injured and decided it wasn't the spot. Once on the right level it was much better. Thanks for the cache!

found today as we did the Eureka Series. I can't believe we spent about 30mins here looking for it for the FTF, however it was dark then!
thanks for the cache

Found by Facitman and the Facit-Family at 17:00
After a successful day at an eisteddfod in Ballarat the Facit-Family set off towards home but a quick stop at this cache was in order. Parked the car nearby and had a brisk walk to an easy find at GZ.

Thanks fozzy778 for the brief stop

Nice quick grab on the way home from a shopping trip in Ballarat. Haven't walked this trail yet. Must get round to it one day. By the way, the log is full and could do with a replacement. Many thanks for the cache.

Visited at 11:17
Nice easy find, nice way to start the day.
TNLNSL TFTC, find #341 for Echo & Spice.

P.S. The log book is full.

Fourteenth of fifteen cache finds for the day, the cache was found at 16:10. We had driven past this one on the way to the motel and i wondered what that nice fence was all about, now I know. thanks flyjabiru1 for the cache.

Q: Why is a rabbit like a cent?
A: Because it has a head on one end and a tail on the other.

Thanks fozzy778

A real team effort cache. When there are 4 of you, you just have to split up and find it a lot quicker. Though this one won't give you much of a headache. Nothing like following a bunny - [^].

Clear skies and thanx to fozzy778 from TeamAstro.

Well I was never reaching it from were I was. But Skippy went and got it along with Astro. Leaving Freddo and I to make our way to GZ.

Interesting location. Thanks for a fine cache guys.

Finally found our 100th cache. Found by the Cat easily while the rest of the team where looking in the wrong place. Signed log. Thanks for the cache.

Was travelling with Alsume and this cache was on my list, so prevailed on a stop and a quick search. A nice find and we were on our way. Thanks F778

Not really an urban cache fan but time to kill working in Ballarat for the week and a lot of DENMARK COIN RACE coins to distribute so I dropped one in here.

Great train bridges. Left the container for the micro coin rubber banded to the cache container for the next finder.

Sneaky little micro and a nice view of some very old stonework. Great all metal bridge.

This was LiverpoolRed's 400th cache, but they didn't crack open the champers today!! When we arrived we met maccamob and Team Crackers also at the same place. Logged at 1545 hrs. Thanks fozzy for the cache.

Our last cache of our Ballarat weekend and we pulled up to find Maccamob already there making for a nice easy find.
We signed the log and collected the nfo inside although we are not entirely sure why as yet. We looked up and there were two more cachers in the area so we headed back to gz and they also added their names to the log before the cache was rehid
Thanks fozzy778 for the cache

Found by Mary & David at 1540, after the Eureka Uprising Event. With lovely sunshine, you wouldn't want to head home when there are still caches to find. We last looked for a cache here (a DNF on embi's The Bunny (Rail Trail 2), which had been muggled) in mid-2002. This time we had better luck and found the cache quickly. We were soon joined by Team Crackers. Our thanks to fozzy778.

Number 2 of 4 found this morning, including 2 FTF's. The cache was found quickly by feel. Great area that I didn't know about.
