The Gully Of Geocaching Spring Gully, Victoria, Australia

Sadly its time for this one to head into retirement, along with "No Dog in this gully, this cache has been facing muggle problem after muggle problem. This was my 4th hide, I hope all the finders over the years enjoyed it!

The contents of the container were soaking wet and wrecked. Couldn't log our visit because of the wet paper.

Once again - fount it, sort of.

Mate I don't know if you've run over a black cat or something but this is the second one of your caches I've found destroyed tonight.

The container is still here this time, the log is shredded and the butterfly trackable lying on the ground a few meters away.

I stuffed the lot back in the container and re-hid.

You might want to pay this I e a visit.

I've added a photo of the mess.

23/06/12: found it with my husband Clayton, 5yrs old son & 12 weeks old daughter. I wrote this post on the day I found it & couldn't see it so I write it again. Took the car & left a marble. TFTC

Found it fairly quickly - great area! TFTC

easy find. tftc

It's a sad spot after the burn off. Pen missing. TFTC.

Was rather exposed and easily spotted on approach. I tried to cover it up a bit more. TFTC.

Wasn't sure if it would still be there. No problem the burn off probably made it a little easier to find

2nd cache for the day, nice walk into the bush

Good place for a cache. Thanks

A short walk into the gully just after dusk. A nice sized container hidden in a bush setting. Thanks Jonti! TNLN

Just a short walk off the road into the gully, and the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.

Last geo getting dark scared some wallaby nearby

Fifth Cache for the day. Almost lunch time. Geo Toddler was starting to get a bit sleepy, so we thought it time to head home for lunch. Rest of the family stayed in the car and Geo Dad ran to find it. A quick 60m run into the bush from where we parked the car and soon found the cache. Collectables in this cache, so ran it back to the car so Geo Toddler could see the 'treasures'. She wanted the stickers, so we left a coin. TFTC.

I saw your name and thought 'Oh No we will be searching for a while.' Luck was on our side and we had the log signed and back into the car fairly quickly. TFTC 379jonti379

Easy find, very pretty place on sunset.

Found it relatively easily. No pen. So bring one with you.

We found this one after a short walk through the bush. We have been in this area before for a sporting event. Thanks 379jonti379. We have found 3 of yours today

Found on a bright spring day. The coords seemed to be a bit out to me so may be worth a check?? TNLN. TFTC

GeoKeegs was wearing his "rockcrawling" shoes today. Lucky for him as he descended the gully in search for this cache. A straightforward find - and a graze on the skin from the sharply textured "cammo"! TFTC!

Nothing like a gully of caches. Superb idea. Clear skies.

Found in the first place we looked. Yep, it's a gully.

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

Another quick find although a little wet underfoot the cache was safe and sound.

TNLN and thanks 379Jonti379 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.

The recent rains had made this area a very muddy and slippery experience.
thanks

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

There were a lot of these types of formations around this area which of course must have been a mining site of old. TFTC!

Our 5307th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our Victoria Invasion trip. A quick find once we worked out the right road to take. The GPS thought there was another road to get to this one.

Thanks to 379Jonti379 for the cache.

We took our torches for a hunt around the gully. The frogs are happy.

Just a short dash from the road, pretty easy to do.

Nice hide to find after Hansen Hill and Childs Play. Thanks Jonti! TNLN

I like bush caches, since I'm such a city boy at the moment. TNLN TFTC

Day 5.
A nice walk in the quiet bush.
My GPS had me 7m from GZ though, but widened my search to the obvious hide.

#1190 @ 12.45pm. Had a nice walk in to this one and noticed quite a bit of erosion - must've been a volume of water flowing through here in parts. Love the bush - thanks for taking us for a walk through it. TNLNSL TFTC 379Jonti379

Spiders Spiders everywhere.. this was becoming the norm for these bushy hides.. and dodging them was becoming quite taxing this late in our weekend.. Thanks Jonti for another great Trad.. one of about 70 that we got on this weekend trip for the events. TNLN

Grabbed while up from Melbourne for the 2 local events. Spladem and I had a great time doing all these great local caches. TFTC

Found in the company of coley_babee and the walenators after the flash mob event in the mall.
Jumped in the walenators 4wd to try and make this one a drive by.
In the end we had to jum out the car to go and grab it.
I dislike Bendigo for its H-U-G-E spiders. Yicky!! Especially ones with large backsides! *shudder*
Thanks once again 379Jonti379.

Found it after almost walking into a giant spider!!!

Found by the geowife not too long after walking into the biggest spider web and came across the mother of all spiders. I am still laughing. Thanks 379Jonti379. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Quick easy find in the dark. Bloody big spiders in the dark. Thanks.

Walked in from the other side of the hill. This what happens when you're not sure where you are!

Thanks for the cache though. I go there in the end.

Wow, I can now say I have been to the Gully of Geocaching. Nice hide TFTC

Thank goodness for gumboots after all the rain! TFTC

A nice qick and easy cache and find. SL TNLN TFTC

well since I was in the area decided to complete a few more while I had the bike.. thanks for the goal. onto the next.

Found on our way to complete some other geomissions. Introduced a newbie to caching who is clearly not going to take it up. The bush is looking great after some rain. TNLN TFTC

Found at 3.15pm
Staying in Bendigo for a couple of days and what better way to fill in a couple of hours doing a few Caches.

TFTC, geosam told me how good this tree was but didn't look there for the cache.
Took TB.

Down from Howlong on a Blitz of Bendigo to get the numbers up.
Nice area, TFTTC......TNLN.....SL

1:31 PM Nice easy find of the day took a tb and left a tb

Easy find, interesting area. TFTC

Whilst on a visit to Bendigo, we decided on a walk in a bushland area, but not having any idea of walks in a the area, we picked a cache that appeared to be on the edge of a bush area and went for it. This was the chosen one (so to speak). Found without difficulty at 11:40. Picked another in the area and walked in a big loop around and back to the car. Enjoyed the walk and the area.

Dropped off TB but took nothing. TFTC

Just finished orienteering at this location, turned on the GPS and noticed this one within 200 meters of the orienteering start point.

So once we finished orienteering, we grabbed this one.

Took nothing, left Heinz Racer TB.

Found @ 16:06 Nice walk through the bush to GZ. Looks like it got used as abit of a dumping ground at one stage with all the scrap metal around. Which is abit of a shame as it was a nice area.

Quick find on a day of caching at Bendigo TFTC TNLN SL

Nice quick cache

Found with my mate Blacklegend17 (Marshy) during our 2 day Bendigo cache blitz. Stopped for a quick find. TFTC.

18th cache on the second day of our caching run to Bendigo with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671). 49th for the trip so far. Stopped for a quick find. Thanks for the cache.

We were a little worried about this cache after all the rain we have had, but we had no problems and the cache is dry and well.

Thanks for the hide.

The gps had me looking in a few similar hiding spots....Eventually I made my way to what shoul've been the most obvious. Somebody left some little easter egg chocolates as swaps....Well, I was brave I swapped a car for a chocky and ate it straight away. TFTC

This area certainly is the gully of geocaching with a few caches nestled in a nice little area. This valley had also seen quite a bit of water in recent times and was quite boggy in the bottom. We followed the GPSr to gz where the cache was spotted as we approached and after signing the log we hid it a little better.
Thanks again379Jonti379 for the cache

Good hide but the night before seen about 30 mm rain come dwn so a little bit slippery but we soon had cache in hand keep up the good work..



TNLNSL

Nice easy find with Team DEJH. YOu could certainly see where the water was rushing through after all the rain last night.

Found with tofka,ADV,Redinguana and Moneydork.TFTC.

Found with the NZ team on a wee night excursion about town.
A good hide, TFTC

A quick find in the dark.
Looks like a nice spot.

Lots of frogs down here this evening! Cheers Gav [5444]

Couple of good options - but not the first one. T4TC, M@

Found by team rav 5/4/10 good find easy to find

Found by Jase while with team rav caching in bendigo. TNLN

GPS troubles made this one a bit difficult and we wandered back and forth for a good 20 minutes before finding the cache. Mr Chicky extremely impressed with the camo. TFTC

Excellent

As is the case when I come to the Gully of Geocaching(area) it started raining again.
Very quick find and I didn't get too wet.
TNLNSL TFTC

2895. Another bush setting where the rain/ground water made it interesting to get too. Throw in a few spiderwebs and ants and it's a real bush adventure today - except for the distance of course.

TFTC and the gorge.

Unlike mcadies we found co-ords very out..
but found all the same

Another quick find.
The "camouflage" is a bit bulky or is that saying too much.
