Cache needs maintenance due to landscaping in the area

Despite a thorough search, no luck here today.

This is still a DNF and considering how long it has been since it was found, maybe some maintenance is necessary or archiving?

Another 4 set of eyes here today and no sign of the cache. I think it’s time for a maintenance check.

This case has not been found for two years. On this visit, we came armed with another finders notes but still no luck and there were four of us searching.

Was to difficult and I am not good at math

Missing in the trees?

Plenty of evidence of previous lookers but no luck. I am wondering if it’s because everything seems to be very overgrown now?

Got a possible GZ but no lucky today

We had been down on the river this afternoon to do some preparation for a new cache of our own and had headed up the hill to enjoy the nice views. Mum was keen on collecting some groceries from the Woolworth's not that far away which left me and younger Geo-Brother Dan to search for this one. After counting the posts we were glad to see that everything fit together well and we were heading off to what seemed a realistic destination. Smaller Geo-Dan came to my rescue and he found the Cache withing seconds. Signed the log and headed down towards the Supermarket

TFTC TFG5

Great and easy find. Searched with my family and my dad found it, great spot but container might need a bit of a clean. I left a minecraft figure inside!

We came along and did some counting with ilook4geo and then worked out where GZ would be. After arriving there we had a good look around and found the treasure we wanted. All was put back into place after the log had two more names written on it. Thank go to RedPAw64 for creating a nice simple multi cache which we enjoyed finding.

Out doing a selection of caches with goingplaces2 today, picking up a mixture of traditional, puzzle and multi caches. Each find had our names added to it before being replaced as it had been found. Thanks for being a welcome part of this caching day. Good view from here and a nice easy multi to bring us to see it.

Down Geelong way to spend the day finding the book series and a few other caches along the way.
I was starting to head home but had time to find a few more before hitting the Ring Road.
The brain had to do some work for this and remember how to keep count.
Did it twice to make sure and came up with the same result both times.
Sat down on the weird shaped bench did some more maths and soon headed off to GZ.
There could only really be one hiding spot but I spotted it on the ground.
Added my name to the log and placed it back where I thought it belonged.

Thanks RedPaw64 TFTC.

Lost count a few times but eventually got it. Then made the quick walk to GZ to then locate the container after a few minutes, after which it was just a matter of ensuring I wasn't spotted. TFTC

Great hide! We were walking past to go to the supermarket and decided to grab this cache on the way.

Nice find

Wowsers. That took quite a few goes for this one... who knew counting could be so hard... or remembering. Tftc!!

I saw that this cache had a Christmas TB in it so today seemed the perfect day to go down to get this multi and also pick up a nice trackable for the season. However, when we got to the posted coordinates it started to rain so out came the umbrellas and time to count. There were lots to count but soon enough I came up with some good looking coordinates. We walked down to where we thought GZ was and started to search. We were looking for a long time and it didn't seem like it was here, as the cache was a 400ml. So a call was made to a previous finder and it turned out our coordinates were way off, I think I might of made a mistake in counting all the wooden posts. So we were directed to GZ where the find was quickly made and I got to get the trackable that was the point of this mission. TFTC RedPaw, a very fun little multi

Well the plants are no longer small, and the houses have multiplied since this cache was placed. However, here it still remains in place. Thanks for the multi Demason

nice easy cache
TFTC
PS log is very damp but still usable.

Beaut view - TFTC

I had done the counting for this one a month or two ago but the weather had turned and darkness was descending dressed in shorts and a t-shirt it was too cold, wet and winding to look for the cache so I headed home.
Today I was back to make the quick find.
Thank you Demason for keeping this old RedPaws64 Cache going

Returned today with sims_family. Lucky, because in the log I wrote the date but not my name last time. Resolved that and dropped a TB

Tried to chea.... I mean, research this one in advance, but no dice. Attended posted co-ordinates this morning, used all my fingers and toes and then some. After a couple of mins I had a likely set of co-ordinates so put my shoes back on and set off. Once at GZ a relatively quick find was made with the concealment method/location as expected. As per previous finders log, the logbook is extremely wet.

TFTC.

Had an hour to kill this morning , so I decided to have a crack at this unloved hide. Had no issues with the counting, but I did it twice just in case !! Projected gz and off I went. Had a good scrounge around for 10 minutes, with no luck. Was just about to leave, when I spotted the hide literally inches from my feet. The logbook is fairly wet as there is no ziploc bag , but I could still manage to chuck my name in there. Placed it back in a logical spot ( I hope ) that any geocacher will find. A nice bit of unloved as a bonus as well. TFTC Demason

Tricky one to find

Found it! Out for the day with Happyfeet1 and we managed to grab this one. Tftc

Had done the required counting on this some time ago, but it was great to be able to make the find, while staying nearby with family. It took a second look to eventually make this nice find.
Thanks Demason for placing the cache for us to find.

MaggieDot and I spent a lot of time here today searching. Owner might need to check it is still there.

AutumnTree and I attempted this one as our cache for the day. We started counting from opposite ends - and got different outcomes. Doh! Counted again and AutumnTree was correct the first time, and I had miscounted. Crunched the numbers and headed to GZ.

A few possible hiding places at GZ, and we feel like we covered them all! Unfortunately no find for us today, and after 20 minutes or more of looking we felt like we should move on, especially considering it's been over a year since a find.

It's a great location - hopefully the cache is still in place and we can come back to find it!

Myself and GemChef decided we spend most of the day hunting for caches and this one happened to be the second on our list.
Great hide, definitely took a while but that's because we were too fixated on one search area

Shiimmy and I both counted to make sure we got the same number, except we didn't. Kicked myself when I realised it was me that mucked up. I relied on gps too much at gz instead of looking around but eventually found the sneaky cache.

Nice fun puzzle cache! Stuff inside a bit damp tho still swapped a little trinket. TFTC!!

After a DNF last month, this time it was a quick find. Don't know how I missed it the first time.
Thanks, RedPaw64/Demason.

Did the counting, viewed the basins, didn't view the cache.
TFTH.

Sorry to have to say this but this guy needs a bit of TLC. The seal has fallen out of the container and contents of the cache have fallen on the ground I cleaned up best I could logbook is back in container. A new lid is all that is required

Came past here today, cache is still in place.

When I inspected GZ decided it wasn't worth trampling over the plants in search of a cache. Nice views.

Found a while back with Rampske FIRST MULTI TFTC

TFTC Demason/RedPaw64. Great cache and my second multi. Obtained the coordinates some time ago, glad to find it today. I like this hide. Well done on a brilliant cache. Cache and log were in good condition. NI NO SL.

Great hiding spot, not too difficult once geo-mum left great for a challenge but still an achievable cache! Glad to be adopting such a well thought out cache!

Found in the company of Wozzle68, Glanville Girls, McLookers & Tomstache on a insane trip through Geelong and surrounds to complete the challenge of 31 MultCache's in March in one day, found this one after counting and recounting and recounting....

TNLN

TFTC

Lots of counting by us all today finally had a set of likely co-ords. ST37E made the find. Interesting spot. Thanks Demason.

On a multi campaign today in the Geelong and surrounding areas with Glanville Girls, Tomstache, wozzle68 and ST37E, we left home in the dark and arrived home in the dark but were very pleased with our achievement of 31 Multis in March on 1 March! We saw some amazing views and our travels took us to many spots we had never visited before.

We were out on a caching run today with McLookers, ST37E, Wozzle68 and Tomstache. We set ourselves the personal challenge of trying to find as many multis as we could in one day. We set off from Ballarat and headed into the multi rich territory that is Geelong. We had done our homework on as many as we could before hand and chose multis that we thought would be quick and achievable. It was crazy day that started in Ballarat at 6.30am and didn't finish until late in the evening.
Unfortunately, this one took a couple of counts before we had the correct one.

On a mission today to find 31 Multi-caches to complete a unofficial challenge and to log a recently challenge cache placed in Melbourne's western suburbs. In the company of fine bench of Ballarat caches we set off around 6:30 am and headed in the "general direction of Geelong where we all had plenty of targets to help us reach our goal. After much driving around we had 31 under our belts plush a few others, and we were off to Melbourne to sign the challenge cache. 15 hours later back in Ballarat feeling somewhat tuckered out but satisfied.

I think my fellow cachers wanted to kill me here because I kept interrupting them while they tried to count. [:o)] Thanks for the cache

Lots of counting here. ST37E made the find. Thanks Demason.

Caching today with McLookers, Glanville Girls, ST37E and wozzle68, we left home when it was still dark and it was dark again when we got home. We covered a lot of area but we finished our challenge.

Basin Views was transferred from RedPaw64 to user Demason

We both did our counting and came up with the same number, so after doing our maths we were soon continuing our inspection of the basin views and heading towards GZ. With a bit of a search we soon had the cache in hand.

Finally had success with this one.
I was out in Geelong today chasing multis to complete a challenge for sorceysal. I was lucky enough to be able to complete mine when in Eltham last week.
I had the numbers right, but boy that container was elusive. Even with many PAF calls and contact with the CO telling me I was in the right spot I simply couldn't win. Cache blindness sets in some times.
Very happy to cross this off my list today.
TFTC RedPaw64

On a day trip with 6hinemoa2 to complete 6 multis as part of a Challenge near Beechworth. We had lots of laughs, made lots of u turns and cursed quite a bit. Geelong is certainly multi heaven and we certainly found an assortment of multis.

This was the first of the day and after getting the required numbers it was off to GZ where 6h2 quickly had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache RedPaw64

[red]My humble apologies for the late log...[/red]

After living away from home for 6 months, I have managed to find all my caching associated paperwork / notes & photo's so I can (finally) log all my finds...

My sincerest thanks to all the cache owners for their hides & all the effort gone into them & I'm sorry for the generic log... I have seen many beautiful area's that I would not of seen or experience if not for your hides...
Thanks for bringing me here and for the cache... Found this one after the Christmas Smörgåsbord Events...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Dipped TB's...

Found by The Empire with tackle_head & sully1.
On the way to the lunchtime event, sully1 had worked on this one previously making for an easy find. It was left out in the open when we arrived at GZ, making for an even easier find! We replaced it out of the view of muggles, ready for the next finders. Thanks for the cache RedPaw64.
- M

Armed with the final numbers, tackle_head plus one, The Empire and myself made our way to GZ, where I quickly spotted the cache, as it was left out in the open, and The Empire was easily able to retrieve from where he was standing. Magnificent views from here, thanks to RedPaw64 for the Multi, and the cache, and for highlighting this spot today, it was well worth the visit. Adding a fave.

Unfortunately much plant trampling but found it quiet easily first multi cache for us TFTC #13

Hello geocachers just letting u know i have left a small pencil in this cache for logs

Out grabbing a few caches with alchey after a botched meeting and saw this one was telling me it was unfound. I know id done a couple of trips here, once with libzhat and once with the rest of geordiefamily, but it said i hadnt yet found it and alchey hadnt, and we were only a few hundred meters away and i knew i had coords already for gz. So off we went looking and im saying to alchey i was sure wed found it. Even was sure the type of hide. Never the less it took a couple of minutes to locate and when I did was even more sure I'd found it. Alchey took charge of the log book, had a flick through and sure enough a page back there it was. "found on 5/10/13 with libZhat". I'm so glad I now use the idea of LL (log later) then curse at having to remember and write a blurb in the subsequent days. This is beginning to confirm my fears maybe I do have a bit of dementia starting, but also opens up a whole new world and the idea if I forget about location of caches I can go search for them all over again. Double, triple, quadruple the caching fun....where was I....what was I saying....hmmm. Anyway good hide, I do remember working it out with geokid n geohubby so not all panicky re memory loss. Tftc.

Out with Geordie family tonight to clean up the map, arriving at GZ Geordiefamily was unsure if they had done this cache but once we found it, it was confirmed found back in 05/10/13 nearly an anniversary find but didn't log.
Thanks for the Cache RedPaw64

Couldnt find it

A great quick little multi, but had me searching GZ a little longer than I would have liked.
Got the geokids to help out on this one as a distraction ploy... works a treat!
thanks RedPaw64 for the cache.

Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Find #494

Found! Parked the car right where we needed to be to make the count. Lucky for us today, dad counted correctly & we were off to find the hide. Moved the car a little further & parked the car close by to the co-ords again. I found an empty pen, maybe from the last cacher Picked up to put in the bin back at home. Made the careful trip into where we needed to be & found this well hidden container.

TFTC our second successful multi of the day

Find #880

Fortunately our maths was up to scratch this pm and we soon found the cache in its good hiding spot.
There certainly is a good view of the huge water basin.
TFTC RedPaw64 - we did enjoy doing your well thought out multi and visiting this interesting area.

Quuck cool cache. Shame such trampling had to be involved to get GZ. Bit of an unloved find. Tftc

Probably not a good place to hide a cache as trampling of planted gardens is necessary, but good fun nevertheless.

Sheesh! That wasn't the easiest cache to find! Counting was fun. KrayKatLady and I did half-ish each then put our numbers together. Then it was up to her, the brain of the two of us, to do the calculations and off we went to find the [unfortunate] geo trail. We poked around for quite a while and I was just about to give up when BANG! I don't understand how we saw zero muggles aside from a bus driver! If I was a runner or cyclist I'd be going past here on such a beautiful day! Cheers for bringing us here and T.F.T.C!

Working out the coordinates to GZ was easy enough. Finding cache took a bit longer. We were just about to give up when Frog_Lady found it!
Great camo and hide!
TFTC

We all counted individually here and when we agreed on the figure, started the sums. Took a few minutes of searching from above and below at GZ before a quiet "spotted it" was heard. It took a bit of manouvreing to actually get our mitts on it but we soon had it in hand and signed. Very glad we didn't attempt this one in the dark!

Thanks RedPaw64

jandaw's 218th find

Did this one on the usual caching night with geordiefamily. We were looking high and low for this one. Was looking where I thought it might be but was unsure as the hint didn't say anything about magnetic. Kept searching where I thought it had to be with geo son nearby and bingo. Lovely views at night

Nice easy multi.
Great view up here.
Thanks for bring me here and cache

Well I had to have a 2nd go at this one. I guess I just didn't want to look to hard amongst the cobwebs the first time.
Found it quickly the 2nd time. A nice place for a cache.thank you for bringing me here

T4tc!

Had a couple of goes at this one. First of all I couldn't count. Then the hide was too good for me the first time. Came back 24 hours later for success. A nice hide and nice basin views. TFTC

We pulled up at wp1 behind a bus whose driver was obviously on a break. We just went about our business, but as we were doing the maths another car turned up, and two people jumped on the bus to have what looked like a 'meeting'. The things you see caching. After a bit of a search the hide was turned up. No spiders today. Thanks for the cache.

I grabbed this as one of about 40 in a nice weekend down on the coast.. It was the last weekend before I started back at work. I was keen to cache, and was encouraged down this way by the chance to Orienteer, Body Board and Cache.. I ended up also staying the night, although the original plan of attending an event at Ballan didn't eventuate.. Had a great weekend, thanks to the various cache owners for your part in a great weekend..

Crunched the numbers, then moved the car, then walked to GZ, then checked elsewhere, then re-visited original angel of attack with torch and found straight away.. Thanks Red Paws 64. #3393

It was a blustery day for caching, but we managed to count correctly and after a bit of a scramble around GZ, found the cache's hiding spot. TNLN TFTC

We didn't even know there was a walking track here, so we were delighted to be bought here

We double checked our counting, and even though we doubted our Maths, as always, we found this cache quickly enough. TFTC

Almost skipped this today after a recent DNF given that the geokids were in tow but we thought we'd have a quick go at it as we were coming past. After the 5yo managed to get the same count as I at WP1 we didn't bother to double check. It's often very useful to have geokids on the hunt and this was certainly one of those situations with the 7yo making a quick find at GZ. After a few swaps, we signed the log and were off to the next. TFTC Redpaw64!

What a great morning I was having my 3rd DNF with no wins so far!!!

I'm sure my calculations were correct.

I ended at a very likely GZ with no cache in site.

I'm sure it just is'nt my day today.

I'll keep an eye on this one and will return.

TFTC

Challenging for a newbie. Kids enjoyed the hunt, worn path makes it a bit easier.

The counting took a while, but we finished eventually. Turns out that we were spot on first time. But when I added it all up, I forgot to take 19 off the south co-ords which led me to someone's yard. Dad said because of when the cache was placed it would have not possibly been in there, so we checked the listing page. Mmm (note to self - read instructions PROPERLY!)
Well when we finally got to GZ, I couldn't find it. Then Dad stepped in and found it within a minute. Mmmmmmm.
Well anyway TFTC, TNLN.

Returned to this one after missing out some months ago. Counted, then counted then counted, and off to GZ. A few minutes and the cache was in hand. TNLN TFTC

On holiday from Queensland. Used to live around here.Very warm day. Had a mathematical error with coordinates in the beginning but soon righted them and found GZ. TNLN TFTC Thanks RedPaw64

Mum and Anna on their own

Easily found with the geokids in tow. As previously mentioned the damage to the garden is a shame. Could this cache be re-hidden to avoid further damage? TNLN TFTC

Surprised how much work has been done in this area since I was last here, also have a photo of a creature near GZ. T4TC.

Found by Team Ladava around 2.50pm
I grabbed my granddaughter and headed out for a cache or two while Mum and Nan settled in for some 'girl time'.
This was one of two caches within a km of their home.
The calculations were made and we were off to the logical hiding spot.
We missed it on the first pass but the well hidden cache was soon in hand.
As stated in earlier logs it's a pity about the damage being done to the garden.

Our thanks to RedPaws64 for the cache and bringing us to this location.

Interesting way to surround a public space, all those bits of wood the metal things are also quite interesting anyway, counted the wood bits twice to be sure, calculated gz and off I went. Then spent a while looking and looking before the clever hide was found. If I had have thought like I did when I found it, the search would have been fairly quick! Thanks to RedPaw64 for this one, nice views over sunset

I had a bike riding/geocaching day today, and the weather was perfect for it.

What is the story behind the wooden uprights - they are magic! GZ was a different story, like previous cachers we did notice considerable garden damage. During a second and more thorough search P-P had the cache in hand.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt RedPaw64.

Found it eventually! No orb spiders today, but did come across a large, very well-fed looking blue tongue lizard enjoying the 5 minutes of sun between showers. Was in no hurry to move out of my way. Could this be RedPaw's slippery friend?? TFTC

Enjoyed counting and then the search for this well hidden cache.....

Did the sums and arrived at GZ just as a bloke decided to sit with his dogs really close to where I thought the cache was. So, off to find Barwon - Girt by Reeds and then returned here to find GZ deserted. Took a while, but eventually located the well hidden cache at 1135, SL and returned it to its hide. No spiders visible today, Indianna must have done a good job! TFTC. cloudglider

I wouldn't worry about the spider. Its only and Orb spider totally harmless but just scare the shit out of ya.... I will go and check this cache.. or should i say mrs RedPaw will go as she is the Indianna jones of the family...

All was going well until interrupted by a seriously huge spider of unknown variety! Freaked out but took a photo anyway...
