It took ages for the penny to drop here, what a nutter I was not to see it!
Nice spot, I actually work at the factory, so interesting. The factory closes next year
Good one on a location that won't be here much longer. With drobbonz. Log is full

Found at 9:08am with Nush89.
The family was on a short Easter Weekend holiday to Orange and this meant Caches!!!
Nush89 and I were keen to rack up a few along the journey and this was number 4 of 7 for caches in Orange and our second for the day after finding 'Lift Off' just a short drive from here.
Unfortunately the rain came down heavily later on in the afternoon which restricted us from doing any more caches in the area.
We arrived at GZ and began our search, Nush89 came up with the chocolates within a couple of minutes. A pretty neat hide. Signed log, thanks for the cache bshwckr

Found it, but on second visit. Great hide. Lots of muggles makes it hard. Came back in different vehicle to make it less suss. Good camo. Tftc.
This was all news to us as we did not even know the factory existed let alone that they are still making refrigerators. Thanks for the information and the cache.
A good hide, just a note to self, when checking out things check all of them and not just half!! Lots of good quality goods have been made here, such a shame that there's talk of it closing down. TFTC
Funny how two cachers get the same thought at the same time, weroamin had it in his hand whilst I scrutinised the other spot. TFTC and the History Lesson.
With an 'Email' worker having lunch outside, it was still possible to use stealth in locating this cache. When the cache was in hand though, I noticed that we were being scrutinised intently by an observer from the corner shop. My sincere apologies if this causes an issue. TFTC

Found it with some help from the smooge. Cache container and log need replacing. There is a definite twist to this hide
Nice history lesson... I was wondering how a fridge factory came to be in this Central Western Town!!. Pretty much went straight to the cache, retrieved something and walked away to log the find.... was patting myself on the back and boasting to GeoWife until I realised I had grabbed a decoy.... CURSES!! Found the real one soon after. Comments are right, container is getting a bit old and tired. Log is quite full, may need a visit from CO. TFTC
I saw a few names that I know, whilst scrounging around for space to write my name on the log!
A novel hide, and would be all the better for a bit of TLC and maintenance.
Thanks bshwkr!

Was heading home from getting some dinner tonight and decided to pull over and give this a quick go and it didn't take me long to find it. Was a short and sweet hunt and was on my way heading home in no time for dinner, the cache is a little damage but stills holds the log nicely. TFTC bshwckr.
6725 + 841 = 7566. Found during a great weekend caching in the Bathurst region with Sol de Lune.
Heading out of Orange now. I think we made this one harder than it was ! Looked but didnt find it. Went and ordered lunch. Ate said luch at GZ. Looked some more. We were about to leave when - oh look - there it is ! Nice Hide ! Signed and we were off to the next one !
Thanks bshwckr !!

We looked, but we couldn't see.....
We noticed the takeaway though, and soon ordered.....
We came back (hamburgers in hand) and searched again....
We finished said hamburgers, and were about to give the search away......
We search one more spot.......and it was found, (well my caching made the discovery)....
Neat little cache that we didn't twig to straight away, and it's oh so easy now.
Thanks bshwckr for the clever little hide....and neat history lesson. Fav point added.

Yes nice work bshwckr. This one gets a favourite point from me. Lots of cunning places to hide this one, some obvious and some not so. Loved the moment when I found it. Thanks for your cache and the history.
Got to this one and went hmmm a 3 star in difficulty. After reading the clue I thought I knew where not to look and I was right. Found quickly. Nice little hide TFTC
Geokids found pretty quickly; had a laugh as it seems people have used others to put their logs in. The log is in a plastic container. TFTC
Found on a day of caching in the Orange District.
This was a nice quick find. Didn't know so many different brands came out of the 1 factory.
Really enjoyed this hide giving it a favourite point.

Bit depressing this was our first try at geocaching could not find it anywhere
NF made the find after knock off time in the nearby establishment, found by fluke hahah. TFTC
Found my 100th geocache this 2013 Australia Day long weekend, but I'd never logged any of my finds. So I decided now is an opportune time to do so!
This was cache #73. We'd tried a couple of times before to get this one but couldn't because of the construction work. Dad got it super quick this this time tho - before I even had a chance to bring up the coordinates! TFTC!

Took the opportunity to get this one as everyone seemed to be on holidays at the factory. Great hide tftc
Clever hide I'd looked for this when I first started caching with no luck. You just have to think outside the square (or the factory!) TFTC
Had a bit of a hunt around and were just about to try a different strategy when one of our group made a chance remark that led to success.

Another one I did not manage to get today. Quite a busy corner. In between cars I looked in lots of spots with no success. Albida.
Ha ha..loved it! After working for over 25 years at this factory, geopoppy came up with the actual cache!
Spending the day at Orange to hunt some caches...Ms Bushies2 found it quickly...sneaky hide...you get a favourite point from us Thanks bshwckr.
Geo Dad is one happy man. 4 visits to find this one, but at last we cracked it. Decided to think like a kid a BINGO it clicked.
Log needs changing its very full and scrunched up.

Could not find this one due to the fact a fellow was working practically on top of where it should be.
Found while on the “Scenic Web Lookin” Orange mini blitz. Since the others had already done this one it was a solo effort that yielded results fairly quickly.
Thanks for the cache and the history lesson.

This cache hasn,t been found for nearly 6 weeks and that is over the school holidays so maybe this one has gone. We searched everywhere and it is a VERY high muggle area. But we did find half a brick on the footpath near ground zero so maybe bshwckr could go and check if itis still there. Silky Seekers
Very clever! Just about to give up when hey presto we found it....thinking "surely not there"!

Found at 5.00pm. Travelling from Bendigo to Orange. I got 25 km from Orange and had car prob's...my friends helped me out and then took me to find this cache. TNLN. TFTC.
A rather conspicuous place to be on a Saturday afternoon with a continuous stream of traffic. The hint realy didn't eliminate many possibilities but our hit and miss search method soon came up with the goods.
Thanks Bshwckr
Thanks Bshwckr
third of the day & I was on fire finding all three, much to the disappointment of the rest of the geo family!! Great hide many muggles driving by mae it even more tricky TFTC
Out for a weekend's caching with Black Bunny. We could have chosen better weather - it rained and hailed and poured and there was thunder and lightning, and we got wet and muddy, and had no dry clothes to put on. On top of that, we took the dogs, so we had wet muddy dogs, with that distinctive wet dog smell, in the car all weekend as well. Black Bunny was very keen to get a few caches, as his average was dropping, whatever that means! I think we managed that, as he came home with a smile on his face.
Quick find, with lots of muggles, even in the rain.

Out for a weekend's caching in Orange with Just a Cacher on a very wet weekend with some very wet dogs in tow. We made a quick find between passing muggles. SL TFTC
Good one to keep the young Ambles entertained on a wild wet afternoon dashed out for a quick find between downpours and passing muggles. Daughter Ambles very exited that Grandpa Ambles had joined for his first GC adventure. TFTC
Very clever hide. I just wonder how people think to check places like this in the first place. Found while in the area for 'The Great Race'. TFTC
Had to pretend to be very interesred in my phone while a worker finished his smoko. Then hallelujah, first place I tried which was a big relief cos that corner is really busy. TFTH
all quiet , must be too early for the muggles, and after looking in my first place I tried another and I was the cache just popped out so a quick sign of the log and on my way,
thanks
thanks
Thanks for this one it was a very tricky hide. The muggle activity in this spot makes it difficult as well. Find number 1 of 5 for today. Thanks for the start to a great days hunting. TFTC
Placement is a beauty......it didn't take long to find and would have been quicker if the muggles had given me a break.

Found by Mary & David at 1625. Now we'll be humming their music. After a bad afternoon, we weren't too confident. First place we checked - beauty! Loved all the history too, which really adds to a cache for us. Our thanks once more to Bshwckr & Sawlegs.
Found this one with geodaughter on visit to Orange whilst waiting for wife at course. Started at the wrong end but finally got it.

Geokids enjoyed this one, especially saying got it, oh no I haven't. Good fun. #350. TFTC SL
A history lesson most appreciated. We thought the most interesting aspect of the site is all the old workers cottages on the opposite hill. Took a while to locate the cache on a quite morning with few passing cars. Thanks.
My first couple of places to look came up blank, but from then on it was plain sailing. Nicely done and thanks to Bshwckr & sawlegs.
Without a car, when you're only staying the one night, it's quite a walk down to this one in the freezing wind. I didn't know Orange was quite this cold. Makes you wonder why they need to build refrigerators! Clever hide, but I found it on the first go, then found all the decoys. Thanks.
Took me two visits to find this one... Had a long look first time to no avail... Something clicked on the second visit and I had it in seconds! Very clever..... TFTC
FINALLY FOUND ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT THIS ONE.... I LOVE THE EXTRA CLUE'S NEAR BY.....
