Like the previous finder, I found the magnet and tape where the cache should be. This one definitely needs some attention.
Third one of the day! Quaint little chance, lots of muggles, stealth needed. All abord the geocache train!
Tried a few hours earlier, but a family group were siting at a picnic table.
So i didn't even left the car.
Drove by later in the day to see the area was empty.
Thank you for the cache wam78

Between two appointments I went for a walk to find this one. Thanks for bringing me to this spot in Moe
Our rounds of moe begin! Nice get in the rain on our trek to dancing. TFTC!!!
Spent a week out at the coal mine fire at Hazelwood and grabbed a few on the way back to Tullamarine Airport. TFTC.
Another cache I parked close to but then had to walk some way to get to it. Took some time to read the info sign before grabbing the cache, lucky there were not too many people waiting for the train at the time.
We have lunch at coffee shop and it have a walk this town this is my second found for today.
Had a great day caching and enjoying the outdoors as usual. Many kilometres put on the geoPatrol to add to the numbers. Now it is a waiting game for the next opportunity to get out again.
Many thanks wam78 for placing this cache.
Many thanks wam78 for placing this cache.
Found it TFTC nice and easy I need a bit of stealth to retrieve because of a muggle
It was a great spot . I was going to also do the power full view cache but the rain stopped that.
Found @1553 #2955
Today was a massive epic run which accumulated in a round trip distance of 400km with a number of rare D/T combo completed in some extreme range of weather conditions. Started out in Gembrook, then heading to Mt Baw Baw then south to Moe, picking up a number of caches including 4 types (3 type rule achieved) and a FTF. Team up with Ahomburg and Day1976 for today's mission as some caches required a team effort at times. The highlight of the day was witnessing Ahomburg complete his first loop of the 81 matrix, awesome effort, well done mate. In total 24 caches found and 1 DNF.
Parking nearby made the walk over to GZ for another quick find. Was aware of the cameras on approach and at this time there was no one about. I was impressive by the local artwork at GZ, thanks for showing me this. TFTC wam78

So, I had been working on my project 81, targeting specific areas with my caching partner in crime SedgwickDave. We had put into action a plan for me to complete it today during the week. I needed just two more combinations which were covered with "Andrew Daniel Coy - Family Photos" and "Carry the Cairn WAB WAB 5". Having managed to solve the puzzle during the week with Dave, the plan was to head out very early Sunday morning to pick it up. We would then pick up Day1976 who was also joining us for the day and head towards Baw Baw Village for caches in the area, hopefully a FTF as well as some unloved finds.
We parked on the other side of the tracks and made our way over. Thankfully it was a vacant GZ today which allowed us to search unhindered. A nice quick find.
Thanks to wam78 for the cache. TNLN

What an awesome adventure! I was invited to tag along with the legendary duo of ahomburg and sedgwickDave on one of their adventures. Today's main aim was to get to Mt Baw Baw to pick up the wab wab series, in the snow! On the way we found ourselves a bit of unlove, a FTF, 4 different types of caches and ahombug knocked off the first round of his D/T looper. After completeing the caches around Baw Baw, we headed then down to Moe to knock off a few around town aswell.
Realised the last time I came here was in approx. 1998 for a 21st! OMG did I feel old. Anyhow, container was easily found as it landed in my hand the first place I put it. I was on a roll today! Thanks wam78, great spot for a cache!

A quick find to one of the nice caches in the are, certainly nice to see some community pride in such a eclectic town. Magnet is coming off cache container.
We have visited this cache twice before and each time we forget to log it, today with technology on our side we have visited and now logged this cache.
Our sincere thanks to Wan78 for the cache.

A nice quick find. Watch out for the tall guy near GZ, he was keeping a good eye on us! Thanks wam78! SL TFTC
# 5431 Found on a lap around Moe to pick up all the 8 caches in town.
This place needs a few more caches to bring more visitors to town.
Nice and quiet and no muggles around while I was here.
Quick find and off to the next one. TFTC wam78,

The dark glassed office across the street made me paranoid about being watched but all good. Nice hide near tin man.

Went and checked on this one and it has been muggled so a replacement cache has now been placed.
Nothing here today, pretty obvious where it should be, but nothing remotely like a cache.
Had a quick look yesterday and couldn't find it, even with help
of wife who works very close by.
Must try harder.
Only found 1 out of 4 so far.

Took my wife with me to look for this Cache. Damn it, she found it before me. My first one too !
A nice bit of history in this area, but the description makes it a bit easy to find.TFTC
This was one of 7 found with PTC on our way back home. It'd been a big weekend.. We stayed so some private land near Boola, and had been 4x4ing most weekend.. however all good things must come to an end.. these were found on the way back.. We were both glad to be on solid ground and also glad for a shot series of drive bys... Find #3129
Found it today with Mrs Iamapom on our little day trip down the highway as far as Moe.
There were some muggles at the table over there, and we made this much much much harder than it needed to be.

Found by Head Chef whilst waiting for his train to arrive, what a great statue!!
Wife's grandfather was a country station master all his life, no doubt he used one of these lanterns at some time. tftc
Very nice Cache!! After a late dinner we decided a few more caches around Moe should be attempted before heading home. After parking the car we both headed to the GZ, both impressed with the recreation of the platform, cache was located quickly. Pics were taken then cache put back. On the way back to car, we both did have a laugh as Bus driver muggle when he missed the verandah by mere inches when reversing the bus back. TFTC

Found during a stop in Moe on the way to Mt. Baw Baw.
Quick find. TFTC. A very late train should have been pulling into the station as we left, but we did not see it.

While on my way to the Winter Solstice Event at the Hazelwood Pondage, I stopped off at this one for a look.
I parked in the station carpark and wandered over to GZ where it wasn't long before I was signing the log.
Thanks to wam78 for this cache.

Found with Baringaschoollegends new geocachers.. Took trackable, will replace shortly
What a lovely place for a break on the drive to Newborough ..... introduced a couple of old recalcitrants to the art of geocaching (no converts today). I recommend Kalley's Bakehouse for a quick lunch ..... YUMMO!
Will get the photo up on my return to the mess. Great spot.

Today was the second day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns today between Melbourne and Sale and were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. Despite being overcast at times and some very infrequent drizzle, we have had an excellent day. This is a lovely area with children's art works to the fore - really good to see. Given the hint and accurate coordinates, the cache was a quick find. TFTC wam78
Yay - found it on Sunday afternoon at dusk as the light ws just starting to fade.
Great Park. Love the mural and surrounding enviornment, the bollards are so unique and colourful. A fun celebration of trains and the railway in Moe. Thanks wam78 for setting up this cache. I've driven by over many years but have never bothered to stop for a closer look until today.

Easy but not. Good time filler on an early Easter morning with no muggles around thanks to the Easter bunny!
A very lovely park and a nice easy find on our way through Moe, TFTC, found with WyldMan92.

Beautiful little park ground around the cache, enjoyed a nice sit down on the platform.

I had to go to woolies and by a pen before i could do this one !! and nice walk in the rain TFTC
Found this cache for a 2nd time, previously with geo-son, before becoming a member. Log signed. Thanks for the cache wam78
Grabbed on a late night run with Kellyhaunts. Pulled up in the nearby carpark and started to walk to GZ. Just as we got on the grass the police drive past then stop when they see us and pull over with the side lights on. I walked over to them to explain I was on a treasure hunt collecting clues. I showed him the GPS pointing me 35 meters "over there" and he believed the story and said "Well good luck then" and drove of. Didn't even take our names. I don't think they wanted to catch whatever disease we had that makes us crazy to geocache at 3AM.
On my way home with Xambo4U and Roulette after spending the weekend at Rawson with a group of square dance friends. Stopped off at this cache and walked over to visit the skinny controller. It must have looked weird as we looked up his coat while looking for the cache.
Nice display.

4.00 On the way back from a great weekend with a group of squares in Rawson. Checking out a a few caches on the way with Toycar and Roulette. Plenty of room to park and we took time to admire the art work. Nice little hide, excellent location.
Thanks for giving a reason to stop

Found on the way to Rawson and beyond for a weekend of camping. A tricky find due to muggle activity and cache location. Had to go back and check the clue.
Thanks wam78 for a nice hide and intresting park, might check out the pizza shop nearby next time we come through this way.

Been a passenger many times on the train that stops here, but never knew this attractive park with the mural and colourful bollards was hidden away behind the platform. VERY clever hint. Thanks wam78.
On the way back from Melbourne did I find this one together wit my husband dundee2002!
