getting destroyed too often

Another one that could not find - please check or archive.

Lots of DNFs lately. Probably been destroyed by local ratbags again.

Might be worth checking if the cache is still there as think we found the spot and round hollow where it should have been but nothing there. Lots of eyes looking as had 5 kids and 4 adults all looking!

We didn't have much time to spend looking as we had to keep on travelling but maybe it hitched a ride on the last train.

Area reasant cleaned.

Found quickly on our way home to Bendigo (from Ballarat). TFTC!

Easy find TFTC

The geokids really enjoyed this one. There was finding the cache followed by running through the tunnel. TFTC

Great first cache for the kids!

Well done my second attempt at this one gps trouble on the first run

Good to see railway being used again. Easy find and muggle free TNLN

# 309 - found quickly, thanks for bringing us here dagsandsandy

Had a look at the lovely old railway station, then a short search to find the cache. Thanks dagsandsandy

very quiet, made easy find. tftc

Found it yesterday with Ridsy13. Posted as note instead of log.

found it, make sure you bring a pen

Found it! Be careful of the old wire on the ground... I'm now off to the doctors for a tetanus shot and possibly a stitch or two! Ouch!

Found this a little higher than maybe it should have been...just resting on
bark falling of the trunk of a tree.
Hid a little better we hope.
Main log is very wet...thanks to the kind cacher who put in a new log sheet!!

Quick and easy find. Left replacement log book.

Found this afternoon by Stumpyspud and Tiny Taters.
This cache was easily found and the inside of the cache was without a logbook and was wet.
Maybe a slight change in the hide location may be benifical to stop it being "muggled"

TFTC

found it, see note below

found it but only because it was open and the contents spread all over the ground tried to find a better place to hide it but couldnt find anywhere put it back together and covered it over hopefully this is ok

Log book has disappeared, but cache itself is still here

TFTC

A quick find. TFTC
Log needs replacing, in many pieces.
Our 600th find, giving a favourite point for this reason.

Log book is missing

Found this one on the way to a mate's place today. The log needs a bit of attention though. TFTC

Found it easy enough, the cache contain was out in the open.
It looked like it had been found been destroyed by somebody.
There was nothing left in the container except for a destroyed log book.
Tried to clean up as best as we could, I would recommend that the owner/next person to go looking for the cache take a logged book to leave there.

Freeby

Gps jumped about a bit but found using old schools methods (actually looking)

passing through town. great location. TFTC

used the 5-minute parking at the nearby station... just enough time

Found at 5.05pm. A nearby muggle was chatting to some visitors in hi front yard. When he'd finished with them he came over to us and asked.."Did ya find it yet?" We weere just about to give up when he assured us that it was there somewhere and other people are able to find it. We found it at a spot which our gps said was 10 metres from gz. TFTC. TNLN.

Found on a day caching with Kinkell1 and TilleyTB
Left some goodies
TFTC

Found with The 2 Wanderers. Easy find. TN
left a marble I found near previous cache. TFTC

Found with draw two muggled. Cache was laying on the ground log book in pieces. Replaced new log and pen in snap lock bag. Left bits of the old log back in. TFTC

Visited with Wild Josh whilst on our camping holiday in Creswick. Found the cache container opened and the log book in tatters around GZ. Put new log book and pen in a plastic bag and placed in the cache container before rehiding. I had already found this one some time ago but it was Wild Josh's first visit here. tks dagsandsandy.

No luck for us with this one, thanks dagsandsandy

Found it this morning with Landau351 on our caching jaunt around the Ballarat area. We found an empty Winne-the-Pooh money box. But cache was a bit harder to find as co-ords were a little out. TFTC

08/10/2011 12:17 Off to Creswick/Ballarat for an awesome hard-core caching weekend with my good mate iamapom (Carl). This is a cache recently found by Carl's in-laws so when we couldn't quickly locate I suggested we phone a friend. No way was that going to happen so we had to widen the search. Carl eventually cam up with the cache a few minutes later. TFTC dagsandsandy TNLN SL

Kept coming back to where we eventually found it well covered. Found with Old Boots. TFTC Greetings from New Zealand.

Dipping Personal TB

Found as a team with packafattys. TFTC

found on a nice day out with robeert and talk to ken

Great Find whilst holidaying in the local Caravan Park.
TFTC

with the waggs on atrip to ballarat for lunch

Apologies for previous log - cache is fine - log was for another. This area was not at all what I was expecting. An abandoned rail line or old engine or something. Not like that at all -n all brand new and busy today. TFTC

Found whilst out on a sunny day out with geo-kids

My last 2 hours in Creswick and I'm charging about to find as many as I can. TNLN TFTC.

Found this one again seeing as it had been moved while taking our Dutch Aunty and Uncle around showing them the art of caching and a bit of our Aussie scenery. They loved it

No joy with this one today, its still on the list for my next Ballarat trip

Eazy find thanx

Nice easy cache and we picked up "Indy Down Under", our first travel bug. Can't wait to send him on his way.

My friend Scott was visiting his relatives in Creswick and kindly dropped of my "Indy down under!" travel bug. He showed me the photos of the recent floods and it reminded me of Scotland! See you soon Indy!

No Trade

A quick find while travelling around gathering information for other caches.

Thanks for the cache dagsandsandy.

A very, very chilly spring day didn't deter us from our quest. How strange to see the old railway station (so elegant and evocative of a past era) all fenced off adjacent to the washed and sterile new one. The cache was found with little difficulty before a big downpour -so the tunnel was handy and used as shelter while I signed the log. Picked up Hamburglar from his hiding place and replaced him with a metallic drink coaster. Upon carefully looking through the cache contents I also noticed a lone unattached TB tag. Lucky I had my iPhone application (and surprise, surprise a data connection) because I was able to identify it belonged to the Red Hearted Teddy in here (hiding in the bottom). So I picked up the Teddy, his tag and the broken chain to move them all on. TFTC.

No Trains Today. TFTC. Rain held off just long enough for the Geokids to have an explore.

Found By The Lone Random,
W The Empire.
@ 12.50pm

Find number 12 of 23 on this great Sunday for caching. TLR went in for the kill, I just stood back and watched, then picked up the cache where he wasn't! Thanks.

Easy find this morning on our 2nd morning of caching in Creswick
We took 1 TB and saw another TB tag and chain loose in the container but didnt know what it belonged to until we got back to Ballarat to get access to the internet
We now see it belongs to the silver Teddy Bear with red heart which was also loose in the container
Could the Cache owner or next finder please reattach it all back together -thanks
TFTC dagsandsandy - the new railway station etc looks great!

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 37° 25.458 E 143° 53.278
Distance From Old: 381 feet or 116.1 meters.
Due to the recent upgrade of the Railway Station, we have moved the cache.
Not too far away, its still in the area to see the old station.
Dropped a couple of trackables in to get it going again.

Up and going again.
Moved due to the works.

Due to the upgrades around the station, we will need to relocate this cache.

Only drove past this one, did not attempt as the workers were on both sides of the station.

I don't think this one will be around for much longer

Find 5/12 for the day, workers are rebuilding the opposite platform, the owners may want to relocate the cache to avoid it being found in the cleanup!

Heaps of money being spent on rebuilding the platforms here. I suppose they must be going to put them to use. Thought it might have been gone with all the work going on near GZ. Sure glad a train didn't come along while retrieving, I would have been worried. TN L-army guy. Thanks dagsandsandy for the cache.

Nice quick find today at the deserted worksite.
Somebody found this and decided to give it a HUGE sprucing up.
My thanks to DagsAndAndy for the story, and for placing this cache.

Not a soul around today.Was getting a bit dark but I was desperate just to get 1 more before I called it a night.
