By pocketrocket&friends on 02-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1KG5Q

I checked on this cache after heading to the Easter Fair in Bendigo.
Unfortunately it is no longer there. Thank you to all Cachers who searched for this cache while it was active.
There are some pretty good hiding spots if someone else wants this location
PR&F

perhaps this should be checked out. three sets of eyes and no luck.

This one was a DNF oh it is just not our favourite term . Are you sure it is still here and has not been muggled lol

No luck for us, despite geodad's climbing up and through

Ewe had a pretty clear and stable indication of GZ, and searched it pretty carefully. No sign of a cache for us today. Our thanks anyway to pocketrocket&friends.

Could not find this cache with AN Rastan. We looked around for a while, but had to eventually move on.

Stopped by the rest area and then checked to see if anything was there.
Looked around but had no luck. Didn't spend a huge time so more then likely it is still there.

Quick easy find with the boyfriend on the way to visit some friends i haven't seen in ages.

GC1KG5Q 2/9/12 DNF King Sr. and Queen on a drive around Victoria in the motor home stoped by to check out your cache but we went to Goornong

Spent quite a bit of time looking in all the most obvious places, but couldn't find it. My wife's GPS and mine were jumping around quite a bit so we could have been looking in the wrong place.

A nice easy find while on the way to the International Geocaching Day in Bendigo.
Signed log TNLN. TFTC.

Journeying to Bendigo for tomorrows International Geocaching Day event. I managed to make the 2 hour drive take 5, making a number of finds along the way.

I was thankful for the dense foliage of the tree as it was heaving down rain when I pulled up at GZ. I ended up retrieving the container and running back to the car.

Located easily as it looks like a lot of lower branches ha e been recently removed.

TFTC.

Quick and easy grab with Chaplain Mike today. Find number 5 of 8. SL TNLN TFTC!

This was 1 of 15 finds for the afternoon. We have not been to Goornong for about 15 years now since we last water skied at Lake Eppalock. Was nice to return to this lovely area. TFTC pocketrocket&friends

Meypack Team on tour.Thanks for the cache!!!!!

3.35 Left from Bennella at lunch time and heading towards Halls Gap for the weekend with friends. Thought we would do a few caches on the way and this looked like a good toilet stop. While Mr X went one direction Mrs X went the other. Mrs X looked in the usual spots with no luck and then widened the search only to keep coming back to make the discovery. I am glad I was searching as Mr would not have made it.
Thanks for the convenient stop pocketrocket&friends

Just visiting with Chaplain mike

We use to stop here when I was a kid on our way camping on the Murray, today I was passing through and decided to stop and grab this quick find! TFTC!

On our way to the mega & just couldn't go past this one. TFTC

A quick stop and find on our way home after a flying visit to Maryborough. I remember stopping at this same spot many years ago and looking unsuccessfully for a cache, so it was good to have success this time.

Thanks very much for the cache.

Nice easy find lots of peppercorn

I thought it would be just too cruel to hide it in the alloe vera and the the GPS settled down and I was saved from a severe scratching. Thanks pocketrocket&friends

A nice little Drive by on the way to Bendigo from Echuca. T4TC

DNF'd this one this time last year, so it was good to grab it this time.

On the way to Halls Gap to camp, hunting on the way ... Good spot to hide it ... TFTC

WanderingAus wandered by with the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) on day 127 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after 11 weeks in Darwin and a couple of weeks meandering across and down through Queensland then slowly down the Kidman Way to Griffith, through Jerilderie and on to Finley where we booked in to the caravan park for two nights, then on to Cobram for a night, and then to Rochester for a couple of nights.

The WanderingMrs had determined through the wonders of the Information Superhighway that there was line dancing that night in Kangaroo Flats, just south of Bendigo, so off we went again, heading for the A Line Caravan Park in Big Hill a little further south of Kangaroo Flats. On the way I only hunted a couple of caches, and this one was an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 4289, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC and my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB in for a visit before grabbing them back again. There was a pencil in the cache but no pencil sharpener, so I left a pencil sharpener.

ian-and-penny placed E.U. Geocoin No.2 (ref = TBNTXF) in Gotta Go To Goornong! on 7 May 2009 and it hasn't been seen since.

It's time for the cache owner to report it as missing.

A quick find on our way through Goornong while heading to Echuca/Moama. TFTC

Found with Big Matt and Shell, steeba and The Rats during a quick 4 day bash down to Victoria.

As the others have noted we thought this one may be gone but alas it's still there.

TNLN and thanks pocketrocket&friends for the cache.

Out for a caching road trip through parts of Victoria with FarmerFrenzten, Steeba and Big Matt & Shell. This was one of the many caches we found.

This one had us puzzled for a while. Once we broadened the search we soon had the cache.
Thanks

Found with Big Matt and Shell, Farmer Frentzen and The Rats on our 'victrip2011'.

When we arrived there was a strong smell from the peppercorn trees that had recently been chopped down. When we started searching we were even worried that the cache may be gone. Widening our search area though the cache was soon in hand. Thanks!

Our 5376th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our Victoria Invasion trip. It was a bit of a worry when we pulled up at what we thought was the GZ and there was a heap of wood chip. The cache was found quite a way away.

Thanks to pocketrocketandfriends for the cache.

Nice little park. And old steam engine.

Ostara74 had been wanting to see Bendigo quite some time, so I took couple of days off work and Thursday morning we jumped into Ostara74's awesome little geomobile and headed off on our discover central and northern Victoria adventure tour. We headed up the Calder Hwy slowly, checking out towns and all the other interesting stuff along the way. Having lived in Bendigo for a number of years, I had a short list of must see/do and the rest was left up to random encounters. This was cache find number one on the second day of our four day discover central / north Victoria adventure. We parked near this cache to see what we thought would be a nice spot to have a BBQ and celebrate my 365 days caching in a row. However, when we finally found the cache, 15 metres from the given coordinates, we also found a tree fall of very aggressive bees. This happened to Ostara74 and I recently at another cache, where Ostara74 got stung near her eye. She immediately headed for the car. I signed the log and carefully replaced the cache then ran for the car as well. It is very disappointing that the bees have taken over this area. Suggest you move the cache, maybe to the tree the coordinates actually take you to, in order to keep people away from the bees.

Found with Pathfinder24. Coordinates were off but cache was found after ignoring GPSs and looking in a likely hiding spot. Lots of buzzing bees around but luckily avoided any stings this time and quickly took off. Be careful when you retrieve this one. Thanks!

Sorry I'm late logging this. Found this cache on our road trip to Shepparton to play hockey, a bus load of 10 ladies - good warm up as we won our game TFTC

Cache quickly reteived, although a struggle in my motorcycle kit! Cache in good condition pocketrocket&friends. TFTC.

TNLN Distracted by other "obvious" hide locations, but worked it out eventually

Nice town was interested in the plane I spotted over the road from where the cache was. Bought one similar at a clearing sale once. It is now hanging in shed as no one is game to use it. Due to the fact geo child could not reach this one I got it. TFTC TNL1

Our first of ten finds today. Thanks for the cache, signed log

Found an interesting object near GZ to check out. Cache found in the obvious place in good nick. TNLN. Thanks for the search.

Found on second attempt. Ironically both times it was cold and raining. Finally got this one out of the way. T4TC

Tried before but today a good day!

Found on the way back to Canberra.. TFTC

We found this cache on the ground for all the world to see. After signing the log, we put it back where we thought it was meant to be. We also took the Austrian Micro Geocoin. TFTH

Found on a fantastic three days caching with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and Team Haveanez. The trip included attending the Pre Easter Event 2011 event. Had three of my kiddies with me including my older daughter Jacqueline, 6yo Jasmine and my 4yo boy James. The trip took us through a tour of the Victorian Goldfields and then back up to my place at Tocumwal. One of around 110 finds for the trip.

Having parted company with Haveanez, Quasar3671 and I headed into Bendigo on our way home. Marty was staying with me in Tocumwal for a few nights. Met up with Marty at this cache, as he took a slightly different path through Bendigo to pick up a couple of ones he had not found. I have previously logged this cache, but when attending the location, Marty showed me where he found it, and that was some distance from where i found it some time back. There is mention in the logs of the cache being moved some time back, so i am logging it again. TFTC and a chance to again stop on the way home.

Out caching this afternoon with Blacklegend, heading back to Tocumwal after the pre-Easter event west of Bendigo. Marshy has stopped in Bendigo and I went ahead to find the cache as he had already found this one. Tyler, Cooper and I searched for about ten minutes but didn't locate the cache. I rang Marshy for some help but he couldn't remeber the cache too well so it was back on our own. Another ten minutes later, and just as Marshy was pulling in, I found the cache a good 12m from the indicated GZ, half way between the road and railway lines. TFTC.
Found while in the area attending the Pre-Easter event near Bendigo over the weekend with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) and team Haveanez; and during a five day caching blitz with my two boys (Tyler and Cooper) which eventually took us through the Victorian Goldfields, up to the Murray River in Tocumwal and back down through Wangaratta.

So close but no luck

A nice little drive by that Mr TiedyeSmileys had the honour of monkeying around to retrieve.
TFTC

Took me a while to work this one out, When i found it, it was covered in slugs !!

My GPSr was pointing all over the place. TaurusSix and I spent a while looking. Caught in the act by muggles that parked right next to us while in the thick of the search. Explained geocaching, they thought we were after some plant suckers.

#1103 @ 1.45pm. On our way out of Bendigo travelling home to Albury with team haveanez. They had already found this one but graciously stopped to allow us to grab on our way through. Co-ords had us searching in the wrong location with 2 different GPSr's but our friends gave us a hint that would take us closer to GZ. Thought the terrain rating could be bumped however our friends had found it in a different location when they were there which would have been in line with the existing terrain rating in place.

Eventually found this cache after eating our lunch at one of the nearby tables and contemplating hiding places all the while. Not nearly as many spider webs here as some of the caches we have found this weekend, we are glad to say. Took: speedboat Left: car. Gotta keep on our way home to Wangaratta from the Flash Mob Event. TFTC PR&F

There were a couple of guys talking near the shed across from the cache.
Managed to grab and replace quickly.
A few spiders webs here though.
They are everywhere today!

Found with Mum & Dad.
This was our last one as we had somewhere to be.
A nicely hidden one.

Not to be sneezed at !!
TFTC.

what a tricky spot great find plenty spiderwebs here as they are everywhere signed log no swaps in cache but we left a dear and a small boaTFTC

Found late at night on my way back to Bendigo from Shepparton. Interesting getting to the cache by torchlight, located the container but geocoin has been removed but not logged out yet. Signed the log and then it was back home to catch a couple of hours sleep before going to work for a 7 am start. TFTC

Nice spot for a picnic.....but didn't have one!!!!!
Found rather easily as it was not covered very well.
Maybe the wind exposed it so we recovered. Hope it
does the job!!! Found at 2:30pm on way home to Echuca.
No Geocoin in the cache...maybe it is not logged as
retrieved yet!!!!

Happy Caching

Found this one today on my trip to Ballarat. Coords seem a few meters out. TFTH

This cache has been replaced and is ready to go!
The new container is a lock & lock rectangular one and has a new log book waiting to be found. There'd is room for small swaps too but I didn't have anything with me to place in it.
Happy caching!
-PR&F

I am heading up to our holiday house this weekend so maintenance will be carried out on this cache!

Looked and looked, but no go. Maybe someone has taken it to dry it out.

Thanks anyway.
