Like the Tigers of old... Foster, Victoria, Australia
By FlyingPigSquadron on 02-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1T6B1

Unfortunately after 3 fixes this cache has gone again - archiving til we can make it safer

After a short stroll from our caravan park stay and reading the other logs, took some tools to the co ords, and tried to retrieve the cache.
All that is there is some newspaper stuffed in the cavity.
This will need some attention please .
one-eyed

Tftc could feel it but could not grab it as it was pushed to far in pipe, have tried like previous geocachers to retrieve but to far in

We found this cache today - at least we could feel it inside its hide location. However it has been pushed in so far (about 700mm) that we could not retrieve it. We tried a number of approaches, hoping that the container was attached to a handle of some description but if it was, we could not attach any of our grappling devices. Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the hide and we hope you can rectify the current situation in some way.

We agree with the previous post. It either needs maintenance or gone missing. Arrived at GZ and there was the perfect hiding spot but unfortunately no cache. We think this cache has gone missing or has been moved so it is impossible to retrieve. Geochild disappointed as he is a mad Tigers supported and sang the Tigers theme song on the way to the cache. But after a play in the park he was back in fine form and ready for the next cache. We will back for another attempt. Thanks. Silkyie

Pretty sure it needs some work! !

Nice hide tftc

Pulled up on the wrong side of the fence, but soon realised our mistake.
A short stroll, and the cache was discovered, signed and replaced. No muggles in the area, today.
Many thanks for placing this cache, FlyingPigSquadron, for us and others to find.

Gps was spot on with this one !!!! , on a day trip to the area and thought it would be nice to grab a cache or 2. Pen not working properly but log is readable. TFTC great hide

Dropped my pen somewhere near the oval, 2 laps later couldnt spot it so took a photo of the log, will try to get back with another pen. a nice easy find!

Found by the geo-crew at the start of a morning ride from Foster to Toora and back. All quiet on the oval and out the front of the hospital, providing uninterrupted searching conditions. Many thanks FlyingPigSquadron

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat, we are currently based in Foster.

Heading out today on the GeoBikes to tackle part of this Rail Trail. We have driven past this cache twice but always been muggles about. Today no muggles so we detoured in on the bikes. Cache was in the first place we looked but took some persuading to 'reveal' itself.

TFTC and letting us use Geocaching to tour the local area. Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

A nice quick find.. Drove the car upto GZ as geo-toddlers were fast asleep.. Followed GPS to GZ and had the cach in hand not long after

I love the abundance of this parkland and the variety it has to offer.. Shame more areas aren't utilized to this potential... So many different sports can be played here and the market is just AWESOME... Well worth the visit if you're popping through this hidden gem of a town

Thanks Flyingpigsquaron for placing this cache

no luck for us today

Nice easy find when there is no muggles around here.
Great hide.
TFTC

Just spent a couple of nights down at the prom which I haven't been to since the 1990's and found one there which was good! So thought I'd stop by on my way home to the Mornington Peninsula and find this one but couldn't find it after looking for 30mins. Will try again next time I'm in Foster as I've got family who live here so will try again next time I'm staying with them.

Stopped here on the way home and I just happened to have my Garmin in the car .. it's been one I've been meaning to do for a while. TFTC FPS

After a day out caching with friends Liz & Bruce on Wilson's Prom we are off to dinner at the Foster pub and stopped to find this cache on the way. Thanks to FlyingPigSquadron for hiding this cache.

On our way to the pub in Foster with Flyingpigsquadron and we had to stop off to do this cache . Thanks to FlyingPigSquadron.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Foster and surrounds using geocaching as our guide.

Excellent hide TFTC FlyingPigSquadron.

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! Cache safe and sound in it's hidey hole

Just setting out on another geocaching break. Heading for the Gippsland Lakes to see if we can get some "by water" only hides. Found this one quite quickly this morning. TFTC

Found with O319 on our trip to Victoria. TFTC

Found the tell tale sign and then the cache.. Not sure it was supposed to look like that?

Kids loved this one.

Nice cache at a lovely park!

Nice work hiding it!!

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! For a maintenance check. Cache safe and very easy to retrieve. Took the opportunity to replace logbook.

I found it on a day that i had to pay to enter. (market day)
so while I was finding the cache, i was also looking for Christmas gifts and lunch

TFTC FlyingPigSquadron

Found in the dark in a very soggy park

Night caching = no muggles tftc

Easy.

The co-ords for this cache are PERFECT!

The hint was good and I could see why one person thought it was not there. But with some muscle from both head and arm we worked it out.

Great Great hide FlyingPigSquadron.

Thank you for the great little adventure.

Smart hiding spot.

An easy find but made difficult by the sheer volume of muggles in the area although somehow we managed to sneekily find log and replace cache with very little effort

After searching and reading all the other posts, I think I know where it was supposed to be but it was not to be found

We first started out on the wrong side of the fence for this cache after not reading the info thoroughly enough. Once we were on the right side we made a quick find. Love this idea for a cache, we have one that's not too different. Took TB, TFTC.

Out and about at large with my caching buddy Slink1 on another legendary caching trip. Bikes deployed where needed, Walking when appropriate, drive by where possible. A big day of caching enjoyment was had by both of us, and a vote of thanks to the cache owners for the effort and placement of the
caches. A quick find here TNLN SL TFTC.

In the area with Dunko on a on a planned caching run.

The weather continued to be amazing for our holiday.
We jumped on the bikes again for some of the trails and did lots of walking to others.
Some of these caches were so cool to find, and the scenery is amazing.
Thanks to all the cache owners for the hides down here.

Found with Mum & Dad on a holiday to South Gippsland.
The weather was fantastic and the caching was fun.
Thanks to everyone who hid caches for me to find, I had so much fun!

Managed to prise this one out with a bit of help from a stick. TFTC

Quick find after working at the show thanks

Pretty good hiding spot. TNLN, TFTC! PhilM8

A quick easy find. TFTC.

Found with Hearse068 after lunch while out on a hot rod run. A great day was had by all driving around in our old cars. SL TFTC

A quick stop when passing through Foster and soonTFTC found cache.

Parked outside at first, then realized we were on the wrong side of the fence. A quick find, apart from the millions of stink bugs at GZ. Cheers!

Tftc!

Found 2:02pm , find # 1862
We were camping down at Tidal River this week.
Today I had a caching day and headed north to find some nearby caches.
A very easy find here, the hardest part being gaining access to the location.
In the end I was able to drive right up to it.

Thanks FlyingPigSquadron.

Tricky little hide. Needed an extraction tool, which we found on the ground nearby. Tftc.

This had us looking for a bit, but eventually found. TFTC.

I thought it was going to disappear,made it a bit more interesting. TFTC.

After finishing my two jobs,one in Inverloch and the other in Kardella south,I decided try for a ftf on the two cache's just outside of Foster that got published on Melbourne Cup Day. No luck as The FlyingPigSquardron had landed on them already. Thanks FlyPigSquadron for the cache.

Had slipped a fair way back but was soon in hand. TFTC

found it cache was pretty hard to et because it was so far back

pipe dream came true. tftc

What a wet old day! Squelched our way through the water, mud and grass and located GZ easily enough. The harder part was working out how to actually reach the cache. Mr 2max enjoyed watching me fussing around but I had the last laugh when I held up the cache with a big grin! Yay! Signed the log and popped it back just in time to make a mad dash back to the car before the heavens opened up on us (again!) TFTC

Found after we read the all-important clue in a previous log. We are very impressed with how lovingly and meticulously these grounds are being looked after!
Cache is in excellent condition. TFTC

Needs maintenance. Water has leaked into cache. Very soggy paper.

Tftc! A bit tight!

Found this one on our trip to visit family in Foster. We have found this one previously with our geo son in 2010 prior to being members ourselves, so this was a bit of a de ja vu moment. I'm sure that the cache was secured to the hiding spot last time, so we a bit of an extraction issue. SL Thanks for the cache FPS

Nice hide, once we worked out how to get in

TFTC

Friday 13th April

Great little hidy hole,TFTC SL

Found at 12:30:52 PM GAFF3. We were towing our van so we took the easy way at first and praying that it was there, but no such luck. So we drag our van right round the grounds and enter via the wide gates and do an actual drive-by with the van. Container found without the lid on, but dry.
Thanks FlyingPigSquadron

Third time lucky and after a very big clue!!

Second time we have tried to find this! It still eludes us!

Nice Playground for Geoson. TFTC TNLNSL

We got within 4 m but still could find it gps may have been out (((( tori family

Looked and looked got within 2 m but still couldn't find it we left frustrated not sure if gps was playing up

Ran into countessjacqueline when finding this. TFTC

TFTC!

A clever hide, easy as a mid week activity... no one around.

An interesting hide near the Tigers lair. Hope the local Tigers are doing better than the AFL Tigers whom I support! I often dream that they are like of the Tigers of old - unfortunately it is just that - a dream! Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for a fun cache. TNLNSL

Once we gotr to GZ we thought we were on the wrong side of the fence, but with a quick check of the clue we soon found it.
Much hilarity was had over the clue, as we reckon the Tigers this year have only really had 'pipe dreams'
TFTC

FlyingPigSquadron has landed for a maintenance check - cache still in place and safe. Please ensure you return correctly Thank you

after a breif chat with the owners of cache seems I may have found it and not been able to access the lil' cache, will return another time and after I find out if access is still possible or not. TFTC

Second try got to 0metres and still couldn't find it, I need clues here felt like searching all same stuff for naught.

1600 King Jr

An easy cache once I worked out how to get in. The family was just up the road in the caravan park.

Our thanks again FlyingPigSquadron
