Found with my favs, Bogonghazy and Geo dog. Quick find. Thanks Phetlern for placing the cache
Out with LittleBoss2 and Geo the puppy today, we were grabbing something on marketplace, and noticed this little green box that we'd somehow neglected. Till now. A really quick find at the perfect coords. And another ticked off in the phone series. Thanks Phetlern
Find # 13166In Bendigo for the usual check n re-adjustment. Went a bit further south and battled some wet weather. Had to wait out the the Ute for a few minutes while a downpour went past, the it was onto the cache. Around the old tennis courts and into some long grass for the quick grab. Thankfully no horses around nor muggles. Sometimes the rain is a good time to go out caching. TFTC Phetlern
The snuggle muggle had to fly to Sydney today for work, so I decided to take the day off and drop her off at the airport. Little did I know that her flight was at 06:30 which meant we were at the airport super early.
So after I dropped her off I decided I would take an impromptu caching road trip up to [Bendigo](https://www.visitvictoria.com/regions/goldfields/destinations/bendigo) and cache along the way.
I was mainly focussed on trying to pick up some Large caches, Virtuals, [Jasmer](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2018/10/the-jasmer-challenge/) fillers, and then any of the [12 Days of Cachemas caches](https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BMCDCJE?sort=name&sortOrder=asc&skip=0&take=20) or [2022 Victorian COTYA Nominee caches](https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BMC8QYR?sort=name&sortOrder=asc&skip=0&take=20) that I came near.
Well with my most recent missing [Jasmer](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2018/10/the-jasmer-challenge/) month being March 2009, this one was quickly added to the list!
I accidentally missed the turned off into this reserve on my first pass and had to find the next drive way to turn around and come back. When I arrived there was actually a horse back riding lesson going on. So I headed around back and parked near the restrooms, as far away from the horses as possible. So that I would not draw too much attention to myself.
It was then a short walk over to GZ. A beautiful little pocket of nature here, I can see why it was originally chosen to hide a cache here. Once I arrived at GZ, it was then a short quick search before the cache was in hand and the logbook was signed!
*Woo hoo! Another month done!*
It was only after I made the find that I realised that this cache belong to the famous duo [Phetlern](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=55664dae-ba26-4703-b48d-f40f2c3b9549&wid=69f00562-c5c4-46ac-923e-a3a804a86286&ds=2). It was an amazing feeling to be able to find one of their caches after getting to know them both.
A big thanks goes to [Phetlern](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=55664dae-ba26-4703-b48d-f40f2c3b9549&wid=69f00562-c5c4-46ac-923e-a3a804a86286&ds=2) for not only the fun of finding this cache, but for all you do for the caching community.
We could not enjoy fun moments like this if it wasn't for your contribution to our great hobby!

The cache container was in good shape and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

No horses here this arvo but I did see a kookaburra sitting in an old gum tree near by.
Nice quick find to add a day to my cache per day calendar.
Cache in good order with plenty of small swaps. Tnln

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 placement, a very quiet area here today in the sun but we could just imagine the hustle and bustle when things are in full swing.

Found a close shady place to park without anyone around and toilet and picnic facilities.

No hors'n around happening today
And a quick gallop from the nearby cache had me eager for another find
Did I find the cache ??
Yay !!
Did I work out the meaning of the cache name ??
Neigh !!
TFTC
PS: A few days later I have worked out the cache name
But the GC site doesn't allow for the fact that Washington time is 16 hours behind us !!

Ah, a cache by Phetlern. Always an enjoyable experience and although I'd like to say I sought it out with n0w0rries as we cached our way back from Wedderburn because it was placed by Phetlern that wouldn't be exactly the case. Instead I sought it out for the placed month
A fantastic spot which I am glad to say was absolutely deserted on Saturday afternoon.

This was one of the caches on leafotwind's agenda for today.
We were a little late for the Wedderburn event but still quite a group there when we finally arrived. Nice to catch up with you both, as well as a few others.
I'm married to a cowgirl. +wife was a barrell racer when we met and we followed the rodeo circuit for a couple of years. She still owns a horse but doesn't get to ride too often.
Thanks for the cache phetlern.

A quick find for us today. Another one to cross off our to do list. Have wanted to do this one for ages so today was it. A good hide. Signed and replaced. TFTC.
This cache has been on my to do list for way too long so with today being a lovely "out of the Box" sunny day. I took to the roads and was glad for an easy safe parking place where I could wander around all by myself and discover this well hidden cache.. All good at GZ and with log signed and container returned for the next cacher to discover..thanks for the placement Phetlern
After attending +Wife's event in Noble Park North this morning, very close to home, we made the trip up here for a 21st birthday this evening. My brother loves extremely close to this cache, and so even though I'm new to this sport, this one had been on my list for quite sometime. GZ was super quiet late this afternoon, not a muggle in sight. Little Ruverbug enjoyed the play ground whilst I found gz and the cache.
Visited a couple of TBs. TNLN. Picked up just over 200 days unlove.
Thank you, Phetlern, for the cache.

A local muggle said he saw a brown snake nearby! Nearly put us off, but kids were determined to find before dinner. Nice spot
Very well mantained GC. Very quitet there at 8:00am but by 1:00pm there was about 100 people there. Thanks phetlern for this GC

Found easily. Long time since this has been found. Lovely morning in Bendigo. TFTC.
6th and final cache of the morning before heading to the tyre shop for some new AT's. Be here by 9 they said, you'll be good to go. 1030, Uh, the delivery is late, won't be here for a while. Guess I gotta go back monday. Thanks for the hide!
Drove to the general area and picked a nice park before pulling out the GPS to commence my hunting. As luck would have it I was only a few metres from GZ once I had acquired enough satellites.
Thanks for the cache. Cheers.
Thanks for the cache. Cheers.
There was some burning off going on in the vicinity of GZ but the hide was safe. Took badge, left ring and glasses holder. TFTC

After an afternoon of caching the sun had already set but night caching is so much fun, so decided to find one more. Thanks
Found with Aveen and Brepoi.
