The muggle husband came and got his hands dirty to help me find this one. He's out here looking for gold, I'm looking for caches - I know who has found more! TFTC
It was time to find this little red wagon. Armed with my GC friend I returned to search GZ and there was a big doh moment...Why did I not look there previously? ..we improvised using some plastic bags as Tott..then I pretended to be farm girl for a few seconds.
We headed up to Wooroonook Lakes a 3-night camping stay and stopped here on the way to the campsite.Almost gave up, but persevered and came up with the goods. Very clever hiding spot. Fave point awarded
A very enjoyable cache indeed. It just so happened that there was an antique engine display happening on the day we were there. Very fitting. We not only found a very ingenious cache, but had a lovely time perusing the old engines.And I met an old, old friend, who came up and said G'day.I give this another favourite.
Cache container was a lot bigger than we thought we were looking for. Previous logs helped us narrow this one down. Hands needed a good clean afterwards. Great hide. SL and replaced. TFTC. fav from us
Our first find of the day. Staying in the area for some prospecting and of course Geocaching. TFTC
This one took some finding. Persistence is key as is the belief that the cache is most definitely waiting to be found. A favourite as I wont forget this one anytime soon. Thank you n.s.e.w.where? for placing and maintaining little red for us to find today.
I searched for 20 minutes whilst the owners of the general store were nice enough to allow me to store my bags, but I couldn't make my first find in the Shire of Loddon. Maybe next time...
Im in the area today with a Birdlife Melbourne photographic group trip. After dinner at a nearby motel I set off on a short walk to GZ. On nearing the posted coordinates I realised where it might be hidden. This type of search does not always go well and can be quite time consuming. Surprisingly after checking a couple of spots a likely location caught my eye and I was soon able to sign the log. Nice hide and worth a favourite point. Thanks to n.s.e.w.where? for the cache.
On the first leg of our journey home across Australia - we decided wed check for caches whenever we stopped - and this was our first delightful find! TFTC
JTreeTrack2 was out and about with Mr Dromaniax and the company of our Muggle parents. They Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the sites, the effort gone in to placing caches in fascinating areas and places. The caches that we came across were all in good condition and were signed and returned as found. Thankyou to all the effort that has gone into placing the cache. Sorry for the generic log, my logging has 7 months of unloved. Thanks again for placing this cache.
I was out and about with JTreeTrack2 and our parents, and this was day number two. We decided to take Mum and Dad away for a trip down memory lane, and while out and about, we were picking up some caches along the way.We spent two days travelling around the central North region of Victoria and had some fantastic weather.All caches we found were in excellent condition unless otherwise noted.Thank you, n.s.e.w.where?, for this Traditional cache.
A quick stop on our way to Bendigo and am happy to say, it was a quick find by Steve. I knew letting him tag along was a good idea:)Great hide n.s.e.w.where? Cheers.
Our journey to North Queensland will take us through many different towns.
Here's one to find today. Thank you for placing the cache n.s.e.w.where?.

It felt like high time to get out caching again after a day off and I was itching for a bit of a drive and a cache out of town. I checked the map and the Wedderburn area looked inviting so away I scooted. I am hoping to find about eight or ten caches today.
Its always a bit daunting walking up to caches like this but after scratching my head for a bit I soon got the search underway. After a good while and a sneaky little distraction I eventually found what i was searching for. Great cache hide, thanks.

After calling Claybol to get a hint we finally had this one in hand
Thanks Claybol for your assistance and Ghihash for sticking it out with me for almost 45mins

Arfter a weekend camping in StArnaud K9team and I were on our way home to Bendigo picking up the occasional cache along the way. Noticing we would be driving straight past we stopped hoping for a quick find. 45min later and 2 PAF's we finaly noticed a darker circle and the confidence to go for it found the sneaky, dirty, oily hide! I removed the cache and handed the log to k9team to sign as I tried to clean my hands off on the grass the placed the cache back in its hold.
Deffently earned a favourite point from me for the cleaver hide!
Tftc!!

Mr visited the site on a solo trip previous and was unsuccessful. Not the case today though as he found it with surprising speed. Very clever hide and well deserving of a favourite point.
GeoKids wonder if the minute railway tracks that encircle the tractor are ever used? TFTC

Oh this is a very clever find, we very nearly gave up but I’m so glad we got lucky and found it.
(The lid to the container is covered in grease and the lid is almost split through).

Newbies, only our fourth find, have to confess the find was on our third visit, TFTC what a clever hide.
On our way to swan hill stopped for the little red, we were just about to give up when geo hubby came across this very clever hide, definitely a fav for us thanks for placing this brilliant hide
After a short search a tell tale sign was observed, with cache in hand quickly after. TFTC
Last visit through Wedderburn & little red needed a visit. Quick find by Geowife. Great hide Favourite for us. TFTC
DNF @ 14:40 with The Good Lady Wife, skirrel, j-bean.
On a holiday getaway multi-day road trip with the family, traveling from Melbourne to Adelaide via Renmark and back to Melbourne.
Along the drive I've scheduled in some cache finds to tick off Sudoku squares in a Wherigo that I'm working on. This happens to be in B2. We had a quick look at the titular structure, but as the cache find was not the primary purpose of the stop, we decided to move on when it was not a quick find.
Thanks anyway n.s.e.w.where?

Sadly our weekender is almost over, but it’s still nice to have a public holiday with The Welder. After travelling all over the state and across the SA border, we spent last night in a local Wedderburn motel, although it was close to 1am when we finally turned off the ignition.
But after a delicious chilli flavoured egg and bacon roll made my the locals, we swung passed so I could collect this cache. The Welder had found it before, so it was an easy retrieval. Thanks for the cache.

dalerious and I hightailed it up to St Arnaud for the weekend, and as usual we had a full consignment of caches on our wishlist to try and sign. The majority was leaning my way, as there was a whole bag of Challenge caches for me to scratch my name into, as well as some down right quality mixes that sets St Arnaud apart from the crowd. More night caches than you can poke a stick at, and did I mention the wherigo's . We sure are spoilt for choice here, that's for sure .
Clever hide for the little tractor that once could! The d/t combination was what I was after on this this little beauty, but I was super surprised to see that my partner had not found this cache before, so that was the icing on the cake for me .
Thank you n.s.e.w.where? for providing this cache which was found in excellent condition.

Coming home through Wedderburn wasn't by accident. My partber catnap777 had a couple of these local caches on a wish list. One was an old DNF of hers at the footy ground (we got it) and there was this one with an uncommon D/T rating.
Little red fit the bill perfectly for that D3/T1 we had been keeping an eye out for. [^]
We got lucky. A little scratching around at GZ and we discovered this sneaky hide much sooner than expected.
TFTC n.s.e.w.where? and acjgrant.
The cache and contents were found clean and dry but cat' forgot to mention in her log that the lid was found damaged and could use some attention before the container is lost. [8)]

I’m having this week off as others at work had the Easter break off so it was my turn and another trip up North to Mildura was planned.
I was able to leave Melbourne nice and early to get a few caches in before reaching my destination for the night which was Culgoa.
I have driven through Wedderburn and past this park that many times and and never bothered to stop.
My Grandmother’s sister used to have the post office and house when they were combined back in the 70’s and 80’s and I remember coming up to visit.
After approaching GZ I thought to myself that this cache could be anywhere so I started my search.
After poking around a bit I soon spotted something and I then had the very clever and sneaky cache in hand.
A fav goes out to you for this one.
Thanks n.s.e.w.where? and acjgrant TFTC.

It was time to leave our camp at Wooroonook lakes and head to the next adventure at Mt Alexander. I had been alerted to this cache earlier in the day so stopped in on the way to Bendigo. Initially looking on the wrong side, I trusted the GPS and I soon spotted what I thought might be a clever hide! Success.
The cache lid looks to have been attached too tightly at some point and is partly split. Everything is in good order however. A cache worthy of a favourite point.
Thanks n.s.e.w.where? for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Headed up the Murray for an annual gathering of friends. Stopping into Wedderburn for a leg stretch and toilet stop we were amazed at the srteet art presented.. Absolutley worth the stop here to break up the drive.

2nd attempt, husband came with the kids and I this time, maybe he’s the good luck!! Awesome hide. TFTC
We will be back to try and find this one again soon, kids searched for half an hour with no success.
I was worried that this one was going to take tassie expat and I a while, so many crannies. But sometimes another searcher said in his log made me question what to spend my time concentrating on, and we literally found it in seconds after that. It's a pretty good hidey hole, well done and thanks for placing it.
What a great gz. Fav pt are at zero, so will give one asap. Started on one side, then moved to the other. Was investigating one component when frmen1 pointed out something promising. Took us less than 5mins. Thank goodness it wasn't a tank...we rarely have any luck with them. Great hide. TFTC
Was out at Wedderburn for work again tonight and this time had a muggle work mate with me, we arrived early and she asked what I normally do when I arrive to a location early. Well .... I had some explaining to do.
We drove to GZ and I checks some likely places with no luck and then it struck me, I tried and I succeeded!
What a crafty hide and well deserving of a favourite point from me.
My muggle friend was astounded that this game happens around us with out people even knowing about it.

Find #2551 for me. Found at 12:54 pm with my dog Bonnie while visiting the area from Bendigo. I'd failed here before at least twice several years ago, then haven't returned to Wedderburn until today. As such, this one was high on my list of target caches. I wasn't necessarily expecting success as I tried all the usual things the move and open on Little Red, but then I tried something that I hadn't tried before, and sure enough, the cache was revealed! Wow, what a fantastic cache and well-deserving of another favorite point! Thanks for bringing me back here today n.s.e.w.where? and acjgrant and thanks for such a great cache!

I must me losing my mojo! I spent ages here with no result. Obviously a good hide! Well done!
Welp, you stumped me! This novice finder will definitely be back to try again another time. Ps watch out for the swooping magpie nearby
Great hide, reminds me of a Romax hide. Quality work, deserving of a favourite. Thank you
This cache is just too good. We hunted for a while and then read some previous logs and all became obvious. Great spot for a cache in Wedderburn where we are staying at the excellent and inexpensive caravan park.
Well that required Snips & Co’s eagle eye. What a great find for my 200th cache. Thanks so much for an interesting and challenging find.
On our way to St Arnaud for the long weekend compliments of the AFL Grand Final. Did you hear our collective sigh when we spied little red? But then there was a sigh of relief when the cleverly hidden cache was found and SL at 1.36pm #7173 TFTC n.s.e.w.where? and acjgrant
Enjoying a meander down some roads we don't normally travel to grab a few caches on the way home. Many thanks for help making it an enjoyable day.

Love it, we didn't want to open to many little hiding spots, got it pretty quick. Thanks for bring us here, and tftc
Didn't understand the hint until the cache was found. Took some getting back, but managed better than how we found it. Fav point.
Very clever hide of this large small!?!
Cool spot to check and so glad it wasn’t a nasty nano!!!

Found with Meme28 out and about for the St Arnaud Mega. Thanks for the fun find. GeoKids loved the tractor. FP for creativity.
I have given this a favourite point as the geokids loved it and it is worthy of stopping here! Thank you
Collecting some caches today on the way home from the mega event. Thanks for the cache. Sneaky spot! Found by the mini geocacher.

Part of the early morning finds as we had all stayed nearby. This was targeted for being a D3. We marvelled and Little Red and it’s well care for surrounds before getting on the. Search. A look in one or two spots before think what about this and there it was. The cachinf hiding nearly.
Our aching with ADI, Ride the Geo Walrus and Ying Yang so some logs signed as BARY with one R to save on log sheets and to keep things moving. Signing duties completed and cage re hid ready for the next one. TFTC.

A weekend of caching with AlphaDeltaIndigo and Ying-Yang in St Arnaud, along with a heap of other people. We stayed at Wedderburn, and commuted to St Arnaud each day, and what an amazing area this was to cache in! We very much enjoyed our trip to the Northern Grampians Shire! My fifth Victorian Mega (sixth overall) and can't wait to come back next year and do it again!
This was find number 3 of 4 for the day for me. TFTC n.s.e.w.where?!

Boort to St Arnaud
Time to head to our final location, we stopped on the way finding caches where we thought itm was suitable to stop with a caravan on.
Arrived into St Arnaud at 11am & have set up camp in the overflow section ner the club.
Following lunch & a rest we headed out of town to find some of the many caches around.
So glad that this didn't take too long to find, machinery is often one of our main headaches.

An Owl and a Fish set off on a caching adventure to St Arnaud. As this decision was made too late to get good accommodation in the town, Wedderburn was chosen as their base of operations. After settling in and a huge meal at the pub, Owl set out to find the last few caches before her next milestone. This one was proving a hard find until the Fish noticed something out of place and located the cache. Despite the greasy hands, it's getting a favourite point!
A clever hide but It didn't take me as long as I expected to find it. I normally shudder when I see a cache placed on machinery in parks but this time luck was with me. TFTC.
A new container and log book has now been replaced back in its original location. Didn't want to see this cache archived because maintenance was needed.
We have found this one before so knew where to look... however the container is broken and this is all that is left.
Out for a day of caching with the Geo-Mum while visiting the family in Bendigo for Christmas. After looking extensively for some time Mr Pooky only found a Sistema clip where he believed the cache was meant to be. No sign of a log or anything else. The owner need to visit to see if the cache is still in its hiding spot.
My wife had to go to Wedderburn for a meeting so i went geocaching had a great day thanks Wedderburn
