Pole39 Dunach, Victoria, Australia

I am archiving the listing for the time being. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (next 30 days), just contact me (by email and include GC number in Subject), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

After some unsavoury activity in the Ballarat region recently which has unfortunately headed this way also, I went to check on this and another cache nearby. As predicted by the previous log/pic, both caches are gone. :/
I have been in touch with the other CO however have been informed that the CO for this cache is no longer active hence this Note.
One selfish person spoiling it for us all.

Nice and easy find, time to burn it

Cache container is damaged and the log book is extremely wet. I couldn't repair or replace as I had nothing to use.

This cache is in a disgusting state, the container is broken (didn't have a replacement one) and the log is soaking. Sorry I couldn't repair or replace either the log book or container. Found easily with mischief 18 and Bentley TB

Found with taurus1955 on our way home after a weekend of birthday celebrations. This cache desperately needs attention.

Easy find, Cache is in bad condition with holes in it, full of mould and is home to a slug :p Thanks

Interesting place for a cache, but a smilie's a smilie, however it comes. Thanks for the hide.

Good spot

found it.
easy but good find.

Date may not be accurate (within a week we think though) as we didn't realise that we had already found this cache until we went to check on it today due to a nearby cache going missing. As soon as we pulled up we recalled finding this one early on. With chan02, neisha07 & boo09. TFTC

Easy find, container looks little worse for wear took nothing

Found it. A bit wet and soggy though. TFTC

We done this one while caching in the area, It great to explore in different areas outside of our hometown, thanks to Pole39 for the cache.

Container broken water in container maintenance. Took & left

Needs maintenance

Found it. Very easy.

TFTC

Very wet inside , 50mm of water in bottom, drained out and returned.

Nice easy find. Recents rains has saturated all contents in this cache. atftc

I had no idea what I was looking for with this one haha :p thanks for the hide flyjabiru1

A nice quick find on our drive around the area today. Cache container is cracked and contents quite damp. Tipped out water, log book is still good though as its nice and secure in its ziplock bag. SL TNLN

Container is cracked and letting water in. Log book still safe in its ziplock bag.

Visited friends in Maryborough for lunch with sulkybear and the geokids (age 3 & 5) so picked up a few caches on the way there and back. Nice easy find. Thanks

Exactly 4 months after 1st visit here with geohubby & geokids I'm back to log it myself. Replaced Ziploc bag, traded a squirrel (kangaroo in log?) for a couple of mini compasses. Thanks for the hide. Container a bit on the damp side. Quick drive by find.

Easy find, but dissappointed to not find a landmark, just a pole, when there are so many interesting places to see in the area. Took a keyring and left a golf ball. SL TFTC.

Quick drive by and easy find with carzycatwomen and geokid. Took blue top and left green 888 KR. TFTC Flyjabiru1.

Log book damp

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Australia Day! A great time to catch up with the family, do a spot of camping and of course find a few caches. We were off to Lake Bolac to spend an extra long weekend of fishing, telling a few stories and a round of golf.

Of course, the fishing and golf provided great fodder for the story telling, the fish that got away or the golf shot that was almost a hole-in-one so a self-perpetuating vicious cycle was created.

Alas, today I had to pack up and head off early as I needed to be elsewhere for the day with my side of the family.

I was on my way back to St. Arnaud from the family function I decided to take a detour and grab some caches on the way home.

A quick and easy grab to round out the day. TFTC

Slightly damp! Next visitor could replace ziplock bag ;0)

This one wasn't far off the road , but was very aware that there could be snakes in the waist high grass. Quick find and sign. TFTH

Nice find

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

good clue !!! tftc flyjabiru1

Find #857 @ 1512

After having to go to Ballarat for an appointment I decided to take the long way home to grab some caches.

Am I glad that it was not a hot day as the grass at GZ was well over knee high and I would not have had a chance to see a snake if there was one there.

cache is still water logged but I had nothing one me to replace it.

Very damp cache, log book is ok, the cache needs to be driedout, i didnt have anything to use, sorry.

Logbook was damp and pen didn't work. Left a trinket, took nothing.

Never driven through here. Cache very soggy & smelly. Not sure what the land mark is?

Another larger container and I love that. However the log book is OK but the contents of the cache are really soggy.
TFTC flyjabiru

A quick find down an unmistakeable geotrail, but needs maintenance as the cache contains water.

Found on a chilly april morning out caching with the geowife. Cache was quickly located, however contents are wet. Log is damp and conents getting mouldy. A nice place to visit. TFTC Flyjabiru1

We found it TNLN didn't sign it because it is wet inside the cache.

TFTC

Thanks for the quick find today with TheQuantumQuark and Geokid.

Quick find on a day exploring the area. TFTC.

A quick find on a trip around the area whilst staying in Maryborough. A bit of a back roads drive but another area we would not have visited without caching.
TFTC

Nice easy find for the kids, cache is very wet inside, log was damp but singable.

Container quiet wet. Found 1030 hrs and it's not raining.

Lots of water.
Cache very wet!
Tftc

A nice easy find today. Cache still needs cleaning out as very wet inside. TFTC

Yes its a pole

Found with GRLEPA, interested to note what the 'Landmark' is that you visit?

Quick drive-by. Cache and log are still too wet to sign. We left a new logbook in a clean snaplock bag.
TFTC

This cache needs maintenance ASAP as it is cracked and the contents are saturated.

An easy find after a wander through the very long grass and a couple of dogs barking. The cache is very wet and log book is saturated.

First find after a short stop for lunch on the outskirts of Clunes in the picnic area. Pole 39 was spotted quickly on arrival at GZ. I took a big deep breath before entering into the long dry grass, and bogonghazy, my caching buddy for the day, already had the cache log in his hands. Logged and returned. Thanks for this one flyjabiru1. A nice quick pick up whilst on a day out around the area. Log is drenched wet though.

Quick find after the careful walk through the thigh high grass.
Sully1 is a brave girl and found a different path, must've thought I'd get any slitherers angry and they'd bite her.
Cache container is cracked and the contents are wet.
Thanks for bringing us here flyjabiru1

Everything is soaked. Log too wet to sign.

Just signed the soggy paper ..

Found it! Great spot. Didn't take long to find!

Everything is wet

Out for a drive while listening to the Grand Final. TNLN

Found it. Wish i had have looked at name of cache before getting out of car searching under the lovely nearby log lol. Cache very wet, log book soaked and water in bottom of container.

very easy found with robeert waited for school bus to pass as it was just after school times:D TFTC

TFTC, Found as team with Jonnykins. The container had a bit of water in it, but log was not too wet.

The long grass wasn't that bad as it was only a short hop from the parked car, the cache was pretty wet, no surprises as the hide isn't the best spot around.

Didn't take any major thinking after reading the name for this one. Wasn't a fan of the long grass - always a concern!! Thanks for hiding a cache. Signed log.

Easy find though cache fairly wet owner might need to check

A nice easy drive by. TFTH...SL....TNLN

Found by Roma and Max.
Once we made our way through the tall vegetation your container was an easy find.
We left our mark in the log and made no swap.
Thanks flyjabiru1 for this cache.
Romax.

Had a bit of water in the jar. The log was soaked but there were dry post-it notes in a ziplock bag. I didn't sign them as the water seemed to have affected the biro. Grass was long but not too thick. Tks.

We found an easy park and also a very easy cache find, although the grass around gz could definitely do with a mow as it was well over waist high. The only thing that we didn't see was the local landmark mentioned on the cache page, we must have been fixated on the GPS
Thanks flyjabiru1 for the cache

15:00
Out for a days caching on the Moolort Plains. Like Clunes township and surrounding areas, Pole 39 has been subject to extreme precipitation and the log and contents are very wet. Sorry that we had no spares with us today. Today a quick find in loooooong grass.
Entry logged a bit late (4/12/10).

TNLN . . SL . . TFTH flyjabiru1.

Found with The Quiet Plodder. TFTC

Certainly a quirky cache!

Still a tad wet insider and I suspect maybe wetter after the rains of late.

Dried out contents as best could.

Nonetheless, considering the hydrology still in OK nick.

The grass is very tall, so future Cachers be mindful of snakes.

TFTC and TNLN

It appears that the old case has become the victim of recent rainfall/flooding. Was very wet and soaked but well concealed and easy to get to.

Container a bit wet inside

Found while on journey to a blues concert at Dunolly with Mrs Cv. Very damp in this area today, but managed to find my way to the cache without wet feet. TFTC, TNLN.
Cv.

The drought has broken, in the vicinity of the cache anyway. Appreciated the postit notes log book. Took a mammoth (?), left a golf ball.

Find # 3214 and 1st of the day @ 12:57 pm after a overnight camp out on a friend's property near by. Easy find, left my mark in the log, TNLN, thanx Flyjabiru1....

Wet, Wet, Wet.

Found with 42Below and oldwinebottle. Cache needs maintenance asap!

(Added afew post it notes in a new ziploc bag as a temporary log.)

Found with NALHCAL & oldwinebottle (Team 42b lives!)
Ditto NALHCAL's log- Wet! Wet! Wet! Not the best container for a fairly exposed cache
Left post-it notes in sealed bag as new log

found with Nalhcal and 42below.
yes, the cache was a tad wet.. oh well
TFTC

Suscoe found this cache today.
As mentioned in previous log, the log book is too wet to write in.
TFTC flyjabiru1

Log book is totally unusable. Needs to be replaced.

Found the cache today at 3.00pm with beanie Had to wait a little

needs replacing

Thanks flyjabiru1 for the cache

Happy Australia Day!
Nice easy find for us newcomers to caching!

TFTC

thanks flyjabiru1 for the find, quick driveby

Found today on a clean up around Clunes.
Quick find.

Very easy find, one of those caches you know exactly where it is as you get close...

TFTC!

Its been a while since I found this cache, remember the grass was high but a well defined geotrail lead the way. TNLNSL TFTC

As soon as I let geodog out of the car, she ran straight for the pole to ...ahem "squat". So the muggles nearby must have thought I was just bagging the poop. But don't worry, we left no trace.
TNLN

Found today at 1400 by Mr & Mrs 1SR out for a drive. 8th of 11 finds for the day. A very quick find, hopefully not spotted by the people in the nearby shed.

Pretty easy, was expecting more of a challenge. thof
