Where Eagles Poop Cottles Bridge, Victoria, Australia

Short-stuff has never seen The Simpsons, but the titles of these caches really appeal to her five-year-old sense of humour. So, to keep both of us amused, we decided a drive in the hills was in order.

"Deja vu, all over again"... running out of time before we had to head home, we guessed the hide location on the way from our parking spot, making it a quick find.

Our last homerjay hide for the day.

#919

upuouppuuuuu

Would have loved to have seen an eagle even if it was pooping! The gum trees looked beautiful lit up in the sun with the dark clouds behind them...... Cache was a nice easy find

Log book full

Found @0928 #1619
Today was another epic cache run with best mate ahomburg thru an area of Melbourne I have not visited until today. This was one of 32 found and we also had a few DNFs.

A quick find and nice drive by. Found in the 2nd place checked. TFTC homerjay73, another of yours found today.

Find # 1765

After a late night at the WWFM IX event in the city and just three hours sleep, I was picked up by my caching partner in crime, sedgwickDave and we headed in a northerly direction towards Whittlesea and a massive day of caching.

This was a nice quick driveby, located quite quickly with two of us searching.

Thanks again to Homerjay73 for the cache. TNLN. Log book needs replacing

(Rated 2 stars with [url=http://www.gcvote.com]GCVote[/url])

Got this one very quickly. Parked 5 meters away and GPSr took me straight to gz. Filled out the log on the bonnet of my car when a passing motorist stopped to ask if all was ok. It was such a nice touch. TFTC.

EASY ........TFTC

Caching with Team HB. Nice and quick find covered with spiderweb Cheers!

I need to poo!

Needs a fresh logsheet

Found @ 11:48

6th find of 17 for the day with my caching partner Fusilade, I was ale to make a quick find



TFTC

The description made this one a little bit easy. TFTC.

Nice easy micro tftc

Quite cool

I parked by the watertank (keeping the loop road clear) and walked up the road (watch out for trucks and utes). I missed the cache first time around, then tried and few other spots before returning and spotted it.

The logbook really could do with a replacement, its a jumbled collection of loose pages, on which I found a space to add mine (no real chronological order though) and I was worried it was going to be struggle to get it back in the cache (it wasn't thankfully, the cache is bigger inside than I thought).

TFTC

For some reason, i just reached in to a place where any sort of critter could be residing … and what do you know, i found a cache [^]. A great area, thanks for bringing us here HJ73

Geoffnkylee Sam and Sarah, our second for the day.

A quick find when I needed it. Plenty of water flowing here today.

Cheers homerjay73, thanks for showing me this stretch of road.

Went for a nice walk down an interesting little road. At first we thought it was tricky to find but soon found it in an easyish spot. Thanks for another cache HJ

qiuck drive by find.

{74} Found with GeoDad @13:50. TFTC!

Found 12:10, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks homerjay73.

30/04/2011 17:03 Found: #432 Here with the two youngest geokids. We stopped just short me the bridge and after letting a muggle car across AAA went hunting on one side while I went to the other. I started by checking a common location and found myself putting my hand directly on the cache. Back to the car for a quick shining then off to take the scenic route home. TNLN TFTC SL

found this nice and quick was i bit concerned when i saw the bridge not another "purple monkey dishwasher" i thought im still yet to nail that one after many a search hmm thats why we like your caches homerjay they often give more than one day of fun or frustration tftc

Found easily, the log book is more just pieces of paper than a book. TFTC

A quick stop on the side of the road, and once I had unwrapped the container from the many spider webs, I was able to access the log. TFTC

Found easily, had no pen, thought I read that it had one, will come back soon to sign log

3.00 Just the two of us out today trying my new birthday present. Its working well and I think I will keep it. The best thing about country caching is there is no one about to pressure you. We took time out to drive around the affected areas of the dreadful bush fires of some 13 months ago. They have done a wonderful job in the rebuilding, and vegetation has come back so quickly, it is such a lovely area to come to. Left Mr Xambo to watch the car while I took did the quick retrieve, log and replace. No spiders, trees or snakes here, just a drive by.
Thanks for the cache
TNLN

Something pretty dead nearby... cache in good order and quickly located. Thanks.

Found by The Empire @ 3:10pm with pocketrocket&friends
Find number 14 of 17 in pocketrocket territory today. Thanks for the cache, homerjay73.

Found at 1850. Almost gave up on this one. Heard noises in the bushes and was a bit worried but nothing too concerning just a mum & baby wombat on their evening stroll hehe. New is was small but not this small!! TFTC SL

I don't know why, but the road was very busy today.
Maybe the locals are aware that "Some damn fool is lookin' fer that magnetic container a'gin..."
Good to see you are mainaining your standard.

Found by Greg 1315H 28/10/10. TFTC.

16th find for the day with C@H.. TFTC HomerJ73 TNLN SLFind #547

A really fun series. TFTC

The geowife had this one when I was still walking along with the GPSr. Found on the way home after the Back to the Beginning - 10 years of Vic caching! event cache....TFTH...SL....TNLN

11th of 23 finds for the night during a night cache run with Blacklegend17. Nice quick find. Thanks for the hide.

9th of 21 on another night caching run with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671). Quick find under torchlight. TFTC.

Thanks for the cool cache. When you said magnetic holder, I expected a car key holder and then I realised there is a magnet at the bottom of the container so when I replaced it, I made sure the bottom was stuck to the metal. The paper will need removing soon as it is getting full.

Found on another mega day caching with bogonghazy. Knew it had to be there somewhere, but wasa tricky little bugger to spot. Thankfully the cars didn't come along the road until we were back to the car or things may have been a bit squeezy.

What a great spot to stop and relax, just listening to the water, and admiring the narrow bridge.
My thanks to HJ73 for placing another great cache for Reesylou and I to find, SL

Very frustrating but found it eventually

This one took us quite some time. This was a nice easy one getting towards the end of the day. The log book is pretty retty and could do with a replacement. Thanks.
Cv.

Found while on a caching day out - tftc tnln

Glad to find this micro, thanks

Found at 5.05pm - Almost missed it but knew it should be there so persisted - yes it was. TFTC

Certainly is a well hidden micro and definitely no room for swaps. Found at 13:50.

TFTC.

Not logged until 28/11/2011.
Many thanks for the cache.

Found at 1440hrs, Nice and quick find, take your own paper as the cache is out

Found at 0915 hours, great hide.
Took a little time to find where it was hiding,
TNLN SL
TFTC

Found on Saunday around 3pm. Weather on and off all day, but fine for caching. T4TC

Took awhile. Had to really look carefully and trust my eyes.

Thinking of how clever Homarjay is with these types of caches, it ws not long before it ws found (1245 hours) - TFTC

The logbook is filling up and falling apart. Thought you might like to know.

Regards

Another nice and quick Homerjay73 cache. I guessed that it was going to be there, and there it was. Thanks.

King Jnr with the family in the car.

Quick and easy - drove straight up to it. My queen thought it small but then I reminded her it could be worse. I didn't straighthen out the log book, rather I just used a free space.

Thanks yet again HJ

Not an easy find for me on this one - didn't find it even after looking for ages!
Will be back to find this one!
Cheers,
Shadowwomen

Find # 360 @ 15:30
Boy, the locals are certainly suspicious of anyone on this road. Four cars passed by and all slowed down and had a good look at my vehicle parked well away from the cache. Nice easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

Great hide! took a while, thanks.
SLLNTNTFTCACHE!!

got my pooping mojo going on

Easy find in an obvious spot. Sorry homerjay you can do better! Anyway logged it and left. Thanks for the cache.

Find # 2837 and 12th of the day at 12:49 pm. Accompanied by 1 half of the Swaggies team on another Sunday out caching. Easy find. TNLN, Left my mark in the log, Thanx Homerjay73...

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

This was another of the many caches around this area- a worthwhile spot to visit.

TFTC!

Here with Big Matt and Steeba as part of our Vic invasion weekend. A quick hide as we travelled around the area.
Thanks

2330.

Found this cache on our Victorian Invasion trip with Steeba and The Rats. This was a busy road, had three cars follow us down, once we pulled aside the cache was quickly found.

Thanks homerjay73 for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found this one at 09:15 while in the area for "other business" . The hide had us going for a little while but after a bit of diligence, we were soon signing the log .

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks homerjay73.

Found by PR&F on 16/4/09 @ 9.17am.
After clicking found on my GPS for the Ivana Tinkle cache, this one popped up so I thought I'd grab it while I was in the area.
Nice easy find.
TFTC HJ!

Another easy place to stop and grab a cache. Easy find...
TFTC!

We were scared when we got here you'd beaten us on one of these earlier in the day but we were victorious this time!

thanx homer

Located at 1500. We are starting to smile every time we see a bridge! Nice little hide. Many thanks.

Nice and easy find, dodging the passing muggles. Thanks for the hide.

Rated: for Overall Experience

No dramas finding this one, and thanks for bringing us to a very pretty spot.

TNLN TFTC

Found at 1600. For such a quiet little road, I was surprised when I had to wait for three cars and one tractor to pass by before I could get out of the car and grab the cache. A nice little spot to stop and relax.

Thanks.

Found 1.00pm
Our GPSr had us searching in a different location to start with but then settled and the cunning hide was then soon found.

TFTC homerjay73

Nice name, we saw where it came from. Plenty of parking nearby, next to the tank. A short stroll and a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

No eagles or poop today but we did notice where the name comes from. Another easy find in another pleasant little spot.
Thanks again Homerjay.

2.40pm
Found by Roma and Max.
A bridge over an empty creek.
Unfortunately this is not uncommon these days.
We found your cunning hide and left our mark in the log.
Thanks again homerjay73, for another enjoyable geo experience.
Romax.

Found at 3.30pm GAFF1. We thought it would be there, but we didn't look hard enough on the first look. We enjoy driving around these roads - especially on such a nice day. Thanks.

Found by Mary & David at 1555. Enjoyed some new scenery on our way to this cache. A few rabbits around at GZ. After struggling at the previous cache, this was a pleasant change. Once more, our thanks to homerjay73.

This was a surprisingly busy road today. I parked a short distance away and waited for a pause in the flow of horse floats and utes and nabbed the cache quickly. The name made sense after reading the TomTom screen.

Thanks,

R - B

This was number 5 out of a total of 7 for the afternoon. Found it around 3:55pm. A short walk from a convenient car park. Funny litle out of the way place. Wonder where the road goes....?

We found this cache at 4:20pm as the 9th of 14 on our Kinglake to Yan Yean tour. Thanks for the cache from D,H,K & A B-A.

Located by rubus pickers and cousins at 1.35pm. First of three for the day. Very quick find with many thanks to Homerjay73.

Lots to like about this one - a drive out on a country road, a place to pull over, a creek, and a neatly hidden little cache which was a good hide. Thanks for another good one homerjay73,

Eighteenth of twenty two cache finds for the day in the company of Alansee, the cache was found at 1515. I had no trouble navigating my Hyundia Getz to this one where we soon had the cache in hand. i enjoyed the drive out to this location. thanks homerjay73 for the cache.

Found this afternoon on my return trip from the work conference near Dixons Creek. I was feeling a bit seedy so was pleased to find adequate parking 50m away and the cache was in one of an assortment of potential hiding spots.
Thanks Homerjay73.

Found @ 17:10 just as it was getting dark. TNLNSL Thanks For The Cache

Took a bit longer than it should have, Looked twice in hidey spot before seeing it the third time.

Found by Bob at 1245

It was really quite pleasant driving around this area today - nice and still, with a bit of mist and the sun trying to break through. The cattle all looked quite content and well-fed too. The cache was another nice, quick find as well but, as Rhinogeo noted, parking was a bit tight and, while doing a 3 or 4 point turn to leave GZ, my rear wheels started spinning - luckily I was in a 4wd so it wasn't a problem - but visitors in 2wds might want to take note.

Thanks again HJ73

Found 200805111645 . The hardest part was finding a safe parking spot for the RhinoMobile

TNLN

No birds of prey (or their droppings) were seen near GZ

Cheers Homerjay73

FTF on a pleasant Saturday morning. Not that we were planning on a FTF necessarily, we were caching on our way out to St Andrews to catch up with friends.

Have to say that this was the easiest HomerJay cache to date, with good coordinates guiding us immediately to the micro and we found this one literally straight away.
