A second missing month in one morning so thanks muchly. The coordinates were accurate as needed and a previous log gave a handy hint the log and cache are all in good order A favourite for keeping this old cache in play.

Found with Grubbs1337 and ITWimdy. A great day out with Dad and his mate.Thanks for the cache

Found and signed, cheers

Found, signed TFTC

Out for New Years Eve supplies and found this cache on the way. Quiet hot whilst searching.Cache okay, just watch for any spiders that may be enjoying the same location.Thanks

Found but nearly missed it a great spot any shorter ....Trackables 8NP8F7 and CWC8YJ enjoyed the find.

Gouws

Nice easy find, be careful not to fall into the ditch!

Decided to head out in the sunshine today to find some caches. Enjoyed this one but needed something natural from the surrounds to help us get it. TFTC

Another day another cache arfter work. Starting to run out of these quick drive by caches but with little time to spare this arvo I finaly made my way out to make the quick find.
Today makes day 33 consecutive days of caching.
Thanks Phetlern for placing this cache

Poor Geo-pup had to stay in the car again!! He wasn't remotely impressed with my promise of geo-hiking when he couldn't even get out!!

This was lying out in open. The tape on the inside has lost his stick!! I replaced it where I think it should be (going on design!) but it's not likely to stay there if it becomes unstuck again. I loved the idea though - a bit out of the ordinary Many thanks

Found OK. A busy road but managed to park safely

Tftc, find #3 for the day.

Found with Bogonghazy. Thanks Phetlern for placing the geocache

Found with LittleBoss2 on our way back to my place. Thanks Phetlern, need to be a little taller than we are, but used something local to help

Clever spot on a busy road. Picked up while passing through. TFTC

Good one!

Good find

OM Check - cache and coordinates all OK.

Found after dodging a few cars to get there. Clever hide. I’m glad it was where it was.

Tall person required

2 days of holidays in Bendigo and of course caching is important. Look who owns this one. Negotiated the terrain and then thought that there was some 12 years of growth in the surrounding foliage. And then again there are other things that don't change much with time. Which line of thought to follow. Eventually tried both and almost came up good on neither. Finally woke up to it, and soon signed. Thanks for the effort involved.

Great hide! TFTC

Thanks

Nice one, enjoyed finding on my first night hunt

Out on a beautiful ️ day, TFTC

Found. TFTC

Great history.

Great history story

Quaint little residence here
Tftc

Needed a little
Boost to get it

My arm almost wasn't long enough.
I'm sure people returning home from work thought I was crazy..
Tftc!!!

In the area doing some caching, of course, and was heading out to a couple that had caught our attention. Couldn't drive past and leave this unfound. Added our names to the log and went on our way. Thanks for the cache.

In town for the weekend, exploring the area, and of course finding caches along the way.
After noticing the familiar CO's name on this one, we stopped by and read the description.
Thanks for the hide and the history lesson, Phetlern

got it but forgot to log cache is in good condition

Cool hide.

Found at 4:04pm and with the help of my Geo husband we were able to retrieve the cache. My geo daughter picked out some stickers. TFTC

On a road trip to Bendigo. Out and about again today picking up a few more caches. The GPS kept returning us to a spot that had a lot of tell tale caching signs but we searched without luck. Mrs Pooky then widened the search area and it wasn't long before she made the find. A great hiding spot. Mr Pooky then had to use some surrounding natural props to make the retrieval. TFTC and bringing us to this area. TNLN.

such a fun find with tytaylor19! couldnt find it for a while but it wad a fun team effort tftc

ooooh! team effort for this one with catherinec19. tftc phetlern this one had us searching. interesting history behind this area too.

While in Bendigo to celebrate a 96th Birthday, we took the opportunity to make a few maintenance checks such as this.
Cache checked and all OK.

Steve and Diana

Wow, that was fun hahaha. Had to get the missus get it for me lol, active road so u gotta be quick!

I found this with accurate coordinates and a good stretch to reach the cache. I’m glad of the accurate assessment of the Terrain for this cache, as I got the walking pole out of the car before crossing the road. The Walking Ladder came to my aid in retrieving the cache, but I was prepared to do it myself this time. Returning the cache to its hiding place may have been a bit more difficult.

Pulled up across from this one, surveyed the area and took an educated guess as to where the cache would be. A few cars zooming past but Skippy was kind and decided to loiter in an adjacent paddock, which let me jump up and down and excitedly point each time a car came past. They must’ve been thinking I’ve never seen a kangaroo before, haha. As soon as the coast was clear, the taller of us made the find, and the log was signed before the next car passed again. SL TFTC

Cool nice hiding spot.

Suscoe enjoyed a delightful day today wandering around the Bendigo region.
It was a sunny day again and with the temperature reaching 30 degrees it was a beaut day.
We found a range of caches from bushland to farmland and city locations.
We always love this area and today was no exception.
Thanks to Phetlern for this hide, a quick find and sign.
Hope doesn't get too cold today, no penguins sighted along this road thank goodness.

In Bendigo today enjoying the first day of Spring and the sunny day it has produced, in the company of McLookers, with the aim of working our way through some of the local multi's, especially the Oh 9 series. With the sun making its way down for another day we kept on working through our list on the outskirts of town.
We found this trad as a bonus as we headed towards a nearby multi. Short arse had to make a jump for it but we got our greedy mitts upon the cache in the likely spot.
Thanks Phetlern for another one, in this great series.

Find # 4401

Found with sharkiefan.
a day in Bendigo for a spot of shopping and a bit of caching.
A quick little find in the most logical place. I must say it is the biggest cache Ive found in this type of hide.

TFTC Phetlern

Found with FUF009 while in the area for the day. A quick find here. Tftc

Tftc. Being a duck helped spot it.

Found it. Wouldn't want to be a duck and have to get this one....

Found while in Bendigo for the Event.
Quick find Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Found it

Lucky I had a tall friend!

Found with sixy2sue. TFTC.

Nice quick find ... Needed help from a fellow taller geocaching buddy to retrieve though

Dianne and I spent the Easter long weekend near Bendigo.
We were staying just down the road from this cache, so we past it every time we went into Bendigo.

Stopped on our way home this time and found the cache.

Another one off the list

Touring around the countryside today and finding caches.

What a great way to spend a holiday! Not to hot, not to cold.....jussssst right.

I happened past this location and pulled in. Immediately I was drawn to the logical location.....not logical enough it seems

A more logical place then prevailed and revealed a cache.

Great stuff.

TFTC

Found it

Great hide and easy to get if you are looking.

Cheeky idea

Took a few minutes. Swapped Essendon footy card for a wooden token ( you are my happy)

Great stuff-good hiding place

Kids had fun finding this cache! Great location. Bit tricky being stealth on a busy afternoon. Thank you.

Found it quickly on my 2nd attempt early Sunday morning when there wasn't so much traffic. TFTC!

Easy find this afternoon although the traffic increased considerably between signing log back at the car and returning cache safely . Glad to have a smiley against this one today. Thanks for placing this here and the information re the former use of the farmland .

Had a quick look but couldn't find it. I felt uncomfortable poking around in front of the houses for too long. Lots of hints from the other logs should help next time I look.

Good cache hiding spot

Found today with my sister Meekmink. What a great way to spend her birthday by introducing her to geocaching Great hide! Thank you for the cache. TNLN

Found with an old lady staring at me from her front porch. Probably not a terrain 2.5 but still a nice hid. TFTC

I can't count how many times I have passed this GC untill I decided I loud to it. Had some trouble replacing it. Because the GC only has one clip it kept opening out spilling the swaps and other stuff. Affter a while I finally got it stuck in pace. Thanks phetlern for the GC

Lovely view from here

This is interesting information about local history. The cache was quite a reach. Thanks Phetlern for making us stop today.

I could see the cache but I could not grab it. I managed with teamwork. Thanks Phetlern. Interesting story too.

Clever hide! I enjoyed this one.

Quick, easy find. Gz was slightly out. Thanks for the clue. Tftc. Found on a nice balmy night.

Gz was slightly off but got there in the end!!!

Spotted the cache and the adjoining cobweb and only on retrieving the container did the owner laying in wait decide to show itself and appeared to make a lunge at my throat. A quick dance on the spot and a few girlish screams, I noticed the hairy beast was on the ground at not me and we signed the log and moved on. TFTC Phetlern.

A nice quick find here, once Happy pants got over his spider issues. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Gotta look up

Quick find with Bridge_31. TFTC

Mission complete. Good team work laurajane23

What an interesting view overlooking the remains of an old industry, and I thought the title was about caches! Thanks for bringing us to this interesting spot. I managed to find it but Muggle Hubby had to do the retrieving

Shocking

Found it after finally making it to Bendigo, only 5 and a half hours from Berwick.

Tfc

TFTC good hide. Scored a few prickles in my shoes!

very sneaky hiding spot but found it pretty quickly thanks for the cache

Found at 6:15:00 PM. We had just finished the nearby letterbox cache and noticed a nearby Phetlern cache and couldn't resist the challenge.

Thanks Phetlern
