Thanks to all that found this cache. Hope you enjoyed it. We have replaced this with 2 new traditionals out soon.

Looks like the first waypoint is missing, I will try and get this back on line soon.

We spent quite some time here today but couldn't locate the cache.

The device for finding the final coordinates appears to be missing.

This one is GREAT, my wife goes all I could find was this **** (micro) and I said, THATS IT!! Its got numbers on it (which are fading need to be made clearer, but worked it out), I suggest a little drive to the main cache, took paper umbrella, left girls necklace.... there was a travel bug there also, 571303. Nice new path been laid, really enjoyed this one... well done..

Really like the first way point. It was an easy but clever hide. Drove round to GZ, though I could have easily walked. Very pleasant little. spot.
Great little multi with no maths and no stupid questions that might have multiple answers. Both of which are reasons I don't usually bother with them.

Thanks for bringing me here.

found it

Wow what a clever micro. We had tried to find it the night before and without realizing that Charlie had it in hand and playing with it. It took some working out but got the new co-ordinates and it was an easy find after that. Took grasshopper Left kids beads. TFTC.

I had to get back into the car as the mozzies where terrible, very swampy area take your aerogaurd guys! Thanks TNLN

Stayed in car due to mozzies, but yelled out some hints!

Our 2nd attempt to find this one, after being unable to find it back in January of 2010 about one year ago (it really doesn't seem that long ago!) I found this one while we all braved the mozzies at GZ!

Thanks for the cache,

Spent more time swatting mozzies than searching.
Ankles were relieved when cache was found.

Found WP1 early in the morning but unfortunately there wasn't enough light to read the co-ordinates for GZ. Came back a little later, read the co-ordinates but still a little difficult to see clearly. Found GZ managed to be eaten by the multitudes of mozzies, cache logged. TFTC

WP1 a small bench? after laying on my back and dogding goose poo...lol... couldn't find mnicro, found a suspect hole in bench and a bolt un done? could this have been muggled?? will watch and maybe try again another day

i walk with my husband its long long grass... i hope not snake around bec its beautiful day ....so with crank1 and alchemy2

Stayed at Ocean Grove for the weekend with Alchemy2, Laker63.
Trick one on WP1.. Manage to read it.
Found it.
TFTC

Yay found it after found co ordinate for GZ with Laker63 and crank1.
Mozzies were crazy!
TFTC

Spent a while looking for the micro, couldn't find it, then a family of muggles turned up, so we moved on. Will try again.

We found the co-ordinates very hard to decipher. It seemed that time and weather had got to them.
The rainy day and angry geese added to the fun. However it is a very pleasant spot and we enjoyed the cache.

Despite ambiguous coords and attack geese, found cache at 1:45pm with Thetaz. Our first attempt went to the wrong easting and had to check back at WP1. TNLN TFTC

Started this one months ago but was deleyed by muggles and then lots of rain. Finally back to get it.
Thanks for the cute hide at WP1

Find # 1497 @ 15:20
Found the micro immediately and a short walk soon had me at the hide. TNLNSL Thanks VKC1SR!

Found today and nice cache. Thanks

Found 10.30am
Interesting way to hide the co-ords at WP1, the walk to the cache was most welcome where it was found in a very logical place.

TNLNSL
Thanks VKC1SR

I had come to this very spot a few months ago and there was no cache. I returned today for another try and the cache was sitting right where I had looked before. WHAT THE? Do not know what was going on. Anyway, all is well now. The smell of Goose Poo is really strong here. TNLNSL TFTC

Probably the most disappointing thing about this cache was the park. We couldn't believe how much uncollected dog poo there was. We did find the micro at WP1 inventive and liked that.

TFTC VKC1SR,

Dropped by today and re did the waypoint. Should be able to point you in the right direction now.

Well archiefynn you have been to this cache twice and cannot decipher the micro and you slap a needs maintenance on it when maybe you should have put in a DNF. New cachers I find tend to say a cache needs maintenance when either they cannot find it or in this case you cannot proceed past WPT1.

I was the FTF way back on the 15th October 08 and I missed it the first look because the owners are devious cachers and they made it faint so as to hassle the finders. I think you need to gather some caching tools like Bushfire has and then this one will be not a problem to you. If you are older like the ageing Bushfire then you need everything going for you. Check out my caching tools and in this case a magnifying glass and it will be very easy!

tigersden found it on the 6th of this month (maybe young eyes) so it is possible as has the other finders since I was there a long time ago.

Read the previous logs and you will see that most had problems and some of the very most experienced cachers also had problems but still recorded a find.

By slapping a needs maintenance on this cache you force the owners to go and check out the cache when I know that was what they intended to do.

As you find a few more caches you will find that you will not find them all as there are some very devious caches hidden out there. They are not all at the base of a tree or under a rock. eg Bendigo caches.

Don't give up. I will send a copy to archiefynn.

Found the micro after reading the text correctly, doh! Nifty hiding spot.
But the coordinates for the cache location couldnt be read as the figures were faded out, Returned next day and tried the wetting trick but no luck. Still cant read.

WP1 had GH going round in circles, so I thought I would lend a hand. Soon had the micro in hand, very nifty hide I must say, going to take the idea home with us.
No one around at 740am so off we went to GZ.
Soon had cache in hand.

Found By Bevfre 10am Got the First WPT very hard to read the coordinatates till i wet them.Then when GZ And pick up the Cache TN LN SL Thank You VKC1SR

This was cache # 23 of 37 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our tour of the Bellarine. We soon had the micro in hand and were off to GZ where we could see the undergrowth had taken quite a beating, thankfully after doing a few circles Alansee called out found it. My thanks to VKC1SR for the cache.

Nice spot here, hard to search subtly as there were people picnicing and its quite an open area. Eventually found it the micro - nice hiding! Loved the next spot - nice quiet place that you would normally never come across as a tourist to the place... TFTC!

Found on a lovely sunny day caching with Acts2YouthGroup. The micro was found ok and then it was off to GZ. The damage to vegetation at gz shows the trouble that cachers have in finding this one (including us). In the end it was found in a logical spot and as per the hint but it is also not that obvious. Thanks VKC1SR for the cache.

Very interesting micro, hard to decypher, but it got us to the correct location of the cache. Thanks for taking us to St Leonards. Took TB. TFTC

Checked this out to day, the micro needs a bit of maintenance but is all good if you look hard you can read the next co-ords. Cache was where it should be.

ZarZeeky daughter found micro and Kaztrekka wife and I had to use forensics to decipher next wpt as was a little hard to read.
We have to come by a few times at 2nd wpt waiting for a muggle free search.
Attempted several times and even at night with torch for added search technique.
We either decipherd wrong, couldn't find it as you do... of it's been muggled (maybe the mozzies took it).
Hopefully we will be in the area again to try again one day.

I was out on the Bellarine with Biggles Bear #1 for the day. He quickly located the information at Wpt1. From there it was a quick drive and walk to GZ where the cache was again quickly found. Thanks for the cache, VKC1SR.

Found 13:05, in the company of Muzza. Having found WP1 it seemed a goose had taken exeption to our presence so we pushed on to find the cache.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks VKC1SR.

Found by caughtatwork at 3:02
Sweet redirector. I might have to steal this idea
A short stroll back to the car and a quick drive to GZ and the cache wasn't there. Huh?
I checked all of the obvious places and the places were very obvious as it looks like more than the occasional geocacher has looked in tehe same spots.
Hmm. Check the hint. Der!
Still nothing, so a little more checking and hunting and found the cache not exactly in line with the clue. Phew.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks VKC1SR for this cache experience today. It's a great pond and very nice monuments at GZ. The cache has been placed a little bit more in line with the hint. It may have been moved by those evil geese, or kids, but if it were kids at least they didn't nick it.

A spot we have usually visited in much warmer weather! WP 1 is really neat and we quickly had the well stocked cache in hand.
Loved the Happy Pea but left it for someone else to enjoy.
TNLN ...SL .. TFTH VKC1SR

Enjoyed the clever hide at WPT 1 and then off to GZ. The threatening rain had us dive for our coats but it was the wet grass that became the problem. The cache was found while sheltering from the rain. Left King Barney TB and happy pea took camel SL TFTC

Found today by Mr Emu & Demon Boy @ 9.15 a.m., GAFF4 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF . Back to this area again to-revisit a couple of caches - we were determined to "clean up" the eastern end of the Bellarine Peninsula (at least for little while).

We had obviously had a "boy's look" at WP1 on the previous visit. We were subsequently given some advice by Bushfire regarding possible "caching tools" to take, but in the end it just required Demon-Boy's 10-year-old eyes and the right light to detect what we had missed before. Doh! I'm still blaming the geese that attacked us the last time . A nice walk ensued, followed by a quick search for the cache - finding it in one of the several possible locations.

A nice day to be out (we've knocked off early for Easter), and what better thing to do than some relaxed geocaching. Thanks for the cache VKC1SR.

Found w Kiwi Friend.
Weather was perfect, good variety of caches, and nothing but time.
Great day out ...

TFTC, The Lone Random

We're pretty sure we found the handiwork for WP1, but could not find any clues - very frustrating. Perhaps we're just out of practice. Mr Emu & Demon Boy will keep an eye on this cache, and put our thinking caps on. We'll try again when we get over here next.

Thanks all the same for showing us this nice little park, although Demon Boy was not happy with the gander hanging around hissing at him!

Nice area to have a cache in, WPT1 was a bit difficult to read in the dark but nevertheless we managed!
Thanks To PacketStorm4 for finding GZ!
Found with RSF1010 + SGGK, PacketStorm4, RHPS, Gitty Girt and saraci.jaee

Found this one with a large group of cachers, great night out to be caching.
TFTC

Had a great caching night with a fantastic bunch of cachers. Almost found this first, just missed it by a few centimetres; but Packetstorm4 had the better combination of eyes, torch and experience. Loved WPT1, very clever - though we had to use a special (very dim LED) torch to be able to read it.
TFTC

Not sure if you are supposed to drive to this one, (seems others have) but loved WPT1 reminds me of another cache of yours...
GZ also took a second to find, but was eventually found.
TFTC

very clever i must say..took us a sec to find gz in the dark
tftc

Very clever spot for the micro.

Nice cache - we had to wait for squalid to catch up with us here, and there's worse things to do in the world than to lie on GZ looking up at the sky for a lazy 20 minutes or so.

TNLN TFTC

Squalid husband was so excited about finally coming to the right cache to meet Monch's Mob, that he narrowly missed driving into a low picnic table. He found the first waypoint though (very clever!) and then we all proceeded to GZ. Thanks for a great cache in a lovely park.

This afternoon Rosie and I decided to go caching around PortArlington. Rosie liked the Micro idea.

Took Nothing,
Left Our Blood with the mozzies. They were big ones.

Found the cache today at 11.am today with beanie Another very clever cache Found the co-ords a went to the cache

We found our 18th VKC1SR cache at 5:55pm as the 24th of 33 on our Bellarine Blitz VI. We found what we believe was the micro at WP1 but could locate no clue to go with it. Unless we were missing the obvious, this bit may be missing. After a bit of a look around we got some advice from a previous finder on the rough final location and with the use of the clue, we were able to make a find. Thanks for the cache from D,H,H & A B-A.

Found with S.T. your skills/ideas amaze me, but as i do more of yours and Bushfies nothing will supprize me.Thanks.

Found today with Neilo1, had some trouble at the start, very clever hide and enjoyed the muilty. Great spot and nice place, Thanks VKC1SR.

Found by Mary & David at 1615. What a wonderful area. So much water and plenty of bird life. We were amazed to see that every square metre of the various camping grounds was occupied by a caravan or a tent. The campers have had some cold days though. Dropped off 'JEEP ADVENTURE' TB. Our thanks to VKC1SR.

found today before work loved the micro and didnt take to long to locate at gz Tn Ln TFTC

A few fat raindrops fell as we gathered WP1 info. I had a bit of a worry that I might not have been able to see the numbers but in the end it was certainly clear enough so I set out for the cache with confidence.
Cache found as the heavens began to open.
Thanks VKC1Sr. Lovely spot for a cache.

I may have found the WP1 hide but I wouldn't have got the coords, that's for sure. Feathertop did so we were on our way and after getting the cache we made a dash for the car as rain began falling...heavily.

Nice area. We have driven down the coast road several times, but never looked around the corner.
The first waypoint was a bit of a struggle to read, but we eventually got a number from it that proved to be right.
Thanks, Robmc.

Another spot I've never seen before or at least not this close. I was remarking how Jen and I talked many times about exploring the penninsula and now thanks to caching I've been down this way many times but even so we keep seeing new places. Very nice little multi with a bit of challenge attached to it.
Thanks indeed for bringing us here too.

RedPaw64 found this cache at around 11.30am. Had previously been here and completed WP1 and decided to come and finnish it today while driving through the area.

I was keen to have a look at this cache knowing the high standard of hides put out by you lads. I haven't visited this reserve in the past and I enjoyed the wander aroun today. Fortunately the coords were located without too much trouble and the cache equally so, although I suspect it might test a few people.

I grabbed the coin to move along. Lovely location, I enjoyed the walk today.

R - B

GAFF 1 11.25am The 41st FTF The Red Ant was happy. Rang RedPaw64 to see what he was up to but he had gone to Melbourne. Fired up the geoute and headed for the coast with all the required gear to clean up Bushfire's cache in Barwon Heads if needed on the way home. For twenty odd years I have driven past this location at least twice a fortnight but have never stopped, this is my loss as it's a lovely area with everything thats mentioned in the cache notes, except the mozzies, THEY ARE NOT FRIENDLY. You need two people, one to write the log and one to swat the buggers. Aerogard will be a must believe me. Had a problem with the micro but one of Bushfires tools saved the day, Take your time and be careful as I can see some cachers getting into trouble with this one! as you don't know what your looking for or how to find the required info. TAKE IT SLOWLY. There must be fish in there as I found a head and sticks to rest your rod on. Another well thought out cache from the VKC1SR team ( or one always awake team) as some of this work would have been done under cover of darkness! NI-NO but left a TB Pigs are flying NOT. Thanks for the cache guys.
