After 3 previous DNFs from other Cachers, I thought Im up this way I might as well have a scratch around.

Spent about 20 min looking with Tyred n Cranky. and by the clues we believe we were in the right spot
did not find it so it must be muggled.

Looks like this has gone again and also looks like its now known to muggles

After three previous DNFs from other Cachers, I thought seeing how I'm up this way I may as well have a scratch around.

Spent about 20 min looking with FUF009, and by the clues we believe we were in the right spot but
did not find it so it must be muggled.

mucked up the date ment to be the 25th June 2012

Have looked for this cache for a while and don't seem to be able to locate, maybe it has been found by a muggle and taken, judging by other logs I was in the right place talking to my old mate the goat.

Looked for quite a while, rang LinearZZ who had looked for it a couple of days ago, but still couldn't find it today. The hint made me feel I was in the right place, and the goat watched me the whole time!

After a lot of scratching around gave up. Thought we were in the right spot.

A great hide. Thank you for the cache.

Found it!!, Car Club had a BBQ tea before meeting at Warracknabeal and just happened to be at this location, after cooking tea took a leisurely waddle across to find cache. SL, TNLN A nice spot for a stop off.Had been here same time last year but did not know what Geocaching was then.

Found it, but the locals, (ants) weren't too happy about us digging around in their home.

Great hide in a beautiful garden! Geobub loved the animals!!! Not sure about that goat though, we think he had an evil agenda.

ADE11-12. This was a fun wander around the animals. Quite a bit of interest on there part. Only ants at GZ for company. Thanks.

after a long time searching, i was unable to find cache.
excellent park though.

WanderingAus wandered by with the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) on day 131 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after a couple of cold, wet and windy days in Horsham, we were heading for Ouyen and stopped here for morning tea. After a brew and some fruit cake I headed across the bridge to hunt this cache, and once the gpsr settled down I made a fairly quick and easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 4294, TNLNSL. The log was full and pretty scrappy, so I put in a new log book, and put the old log in a small ziplock bag and hid that behind the container.

Rated: for Overall Experience

No container but I found the log. Don't have a suitable container with me at the moment but I'll see what I can do today

Replaced container. Could do with a new log sheet soon

Found a dead corella, a bull ant nest and stinging nettles....but no cache.

Had a good scratch around but no joy. Kids loved the park especially the much lauded baby guinea pigs.

#1850 This was a ripper of a park which had just been mown. In fact some of the work gang were still there tending to the animals and enjoying the beautiful day. The Queen and GeoPrincess wandered around looking at the birds and animals whilst Dad went straight to caching duties. We spent a little while here enjoying the area, a credit to the locals. The lid of the cache is missing but the log it still in good condition. TNLN thanks very much honeysucker for bringing us to this great spot [^]

Reperio at 1455. Wow! What an amazing little park this is. I think this is the first time I have seen such a display of animals in a public park. The guinea pigs were the favourite. Cache was found, but without lid, but tbe hidey hole was a good one, so the log is fairly dry. Found with Haveanez, DJ Rascal, TheChops and Emnjared.

Gratias.

# 10 of 22 on a group VCRAC ( GCY98X ) drive over the weekend with TheChops, Emnjared, Marcus Vitruvius and Haveanez.

Interesting menagerie of animals located at Gz. Stopped and had a look at the birds for a bit and everyone admired the baby Guinea Pigs before moving off to the next one.

TNLN, Cheers.

Found on our huge Geocaching Roadtrip - with TheChops, DJRascal, Havenaz and Marcus Vitruvius

What a great park! I used to breed Guniea Pigs as a kid, so I loed seeing the little baby guinea pigs - sharing their cage with the fattest sparrow we had ever seen!! Fabulous spot that I could have happily spent more time in. The cache was easily found, but as the others have said, the container needs replacing. Thanks for this cache, SL

This was our eleventh find, on a mammoth weekend caching, with DJ Rascal, Emnjared, Haveanez and Marcus Vitruvius. We were attacking the Victorian Country Road Atlas Challenge, and were aiming to pick up 10 pages over the 2 days. This was our last one in Warracknabeal, and a nice one to finish off on. Thanks - this was a bonus for Page 8.

Nearlly took the wrong entrance to this one thanks to good driving techniques by Big Ez, .
Quite a beautiful park. We didn't have the GeoKids with us this trip, they would have loved the animals there. Thanks for sharing this spot with us, a good spot for a cache. TNlN SL.
(Cache's lid was missing - holding up fairly well, although you may need to check it soon.)

Took time to find this one. the guinea pigs were so cute! T.F.T.C.

Following the Moderately Old Farts event at Red Bluff it was time to head East to grab some more 'Mexican' caches.

Well I found most of the cache once the muggle kids moved on. TFTC.

ELNOSHSI found cache 3/5/11

A good hide

Found at 11am. Loved the animals, somehow let the galah bite my finger...How could I be so stupid! Took my eye off the 'ball" and Geomark found it! Well, he spent a lot of his childhood poking about the Yarriambiack Creek so I guess it was appropriate! SL TFTC

My Nephew and my Mum found this one while on a hunt with us and my sister signed it from the Klondyker's (after my Mum & Dad's farm)

My son and my mother found this under the supervision of my sister. Clever hiding hole.
Go geo-Nanna!

Another place I had been plenty of times before I started caching, was nice to call in again... Had a picnic, fed the ducks, retrieved the cache then looked at the birds and animals. A really lovely place to stop, and is even prettier now that there is water in the river again. Thanks very much for the cache.

A quick find while driving around the area. The goat is fairly tame. Where we live in NSW, the goats are wild and are sold for money.

We are 99% sure we were in the right area. The most likely tree for the cache to be in had been vandalised. A large part of the side of the tree had been ripped off from the hole in the side downwards. Couldn't find any other likely hiding places. Could the owners please have a look in case it has been muggled?

first find for us, easy find, geokids enjoyed the park

Parked the rig nearby and walked in over the bridge, and we had just found it when muggles arrived to feed the goat Margaret in her pen nearby. TNLN, and after we logged our find, Caz talked to the muggles and distracted them while Trev returned the container to it's hiding place. Thanks for brining us to this pleasant oasis.

An easy find on the way back from the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Sheep Hills. Haven't been here for many, many years. Great to see a well maintained park that hasn't been trashed by ferals! TNLNSL. Thanks honeysucker for the cache.

Found as we arrived in town at sunset. No-one around so the corellas pointed us in the right spot. The emus seemed interested in what we were doing and the goat looked like he had just finished the stubbie some one had left for him. SL TFTC

Beauty park, Lovely animals. Enjoyed wander around the park. SL. Thanks Honeysucker for organising the cache and hunt.

It is a lovely spot here by the creek and I was happy to find the cache without too much trouble at exactly the correct co-ordinates.

TFTC

What great place to break a trip which we did. easy pick up while Geogran was preparing lunch.

Thanks for the stop and cache

Found this after spending almost a week in the Bendigo area
Thanks Honeysucker

Are there any ache in this area you dont own [:o)]
Another quick stop & sign this time.
Cheers

In the area doing another cache so we dropped in to do this one, you really wouldn't expect to find such a lovely place as this cache location when you look at the countryside, good on you honeysucker for showing us this location, TNLNSL

Great spot to stop for a coffee. Our first find just using our new iPhone. Thanks

An easy find in a part of town i haven't seen , loved the animals and good to see some water in the creek too . SL

Have not been to Warracknabeal before and only came her to grab the 2 caches in this beautiful town on my way to Rainbow are to lay some caches that still have not been found yet .
This is a place that was unexpected and has a lot of effort put into it and the town is proud of it . thanks honeysucker

School holidays and a pleasant day - loads of muggles... Could see it, but hard to retrieve with so many people about. After a short wait, log signed and returned to it's spot. Great spot for families. Thanks.

What an unexpected little treasure, this is a great little park for the kids and adults. Unfortunately as we arrived at gz the skies again opened up on us making us pleased that the well hidden cache was a nice quick find. Even without coats we went for a quick inspection of the wildlife and found some fantastic aviaries containing different birds, the biggest guinea pigs we have ever seen and some kangaroos and emus's. This all took place in 2 to 3 minutes before heading back to the car and out of the rain.
Thanks Honeysucker for showing us this great little park

Found by Mary & David at 0730. A quick find, then we took time to wander around looking at all the animals and birds. Delighted to hear the thumping sounds of the emus and see a mother kangaroo with a joey peeping from its pouch. Our thanks to honeysucker.

What a urprise this little park was. Who looks after all the animials? Some of the birds looked happy, but I really though the enclosure for the Emu's was far to small for an animal that can run for miles in the wild.

Cache was soon spotted, though I could see it could be a tricky one.

Thanks for bringing us here.

12.30pm
Found by Roma and Max.
Fifth find on our roundabout journey to the Mildura geo meet!
What an interesting venue with plenty of birds to admire.
We wonder what type of animal was absent from the nearby enclosure to GZ!
Thank you again honeysucker for bringing us here.
From Romax.

Found on a week end away ballooning with friends. Our first of honeysucker cache's. My father was a bee keeper and spent much time in the bush checking up on them. See you at the end of the month.

Found this during a break on our return to Adelaide. Nice little park. I was under some curious watchful eyes of an elderly couple of muggles, but retrieved the cache whilst their backs were turned, then signed and replaced as they went out of sight.
Thanks for this cache honeysucker, would never have come here otherwise.
SL

Our 3rd and last cache for our afternoon out. Found easily and then a look at the animals was in order, and finished on the playground for the Co. We had been here before but always good to come back for a cache. Thanks.

Lots of birds and a few animals but no lions in site today. Entered across the bridge was very interesting. Does it move in the wind or if lots of people are on it? Thanks

Found 2nite at 2050 with lennyboy and help from S.T back home who provided the co-ords,great place 4 a BBQ, had many here with kids,watch out 4 goat as it nealy got lennyboy.Thanks.
