Happy Caching to all...

Did this cache couple weeks ago, bit hard to find, couldnt find it last i was there
Gotcha! Avoided the prickles and although it took longer than it should have I soon had it in hand. Signed log and added a few swaps for the next finder (and a bandaid if required ) lid on tight so hope it stays dry for a while. A clever hide indeed.
2nd attempt with this cache, the 1st time being at 2am it was a bit to creepy to contine. Today though found cache randomly thrown on the ground, not knowing where it went I placed it in a hidden spot I assume it goes. Container seems cracked and log wet too, needs maintenance asap
An interesting area for a cache, it looks like the area had seen a lot of activity in the past but it was quiet at the gz today. Moose made a quick find, mind the glass though, TFTC ZarZeeky.
After a short search the Moose turned up the hide. An interesting set of old foundations here. Thanks for the cache.
Great hide, awesome view! Thanks Barney for locating it for me after looking around for 10 mins or so.
Jr Plant headed off to the cache with Snr Plant and the GPS to find this cache, accompanied by Team Boofa who previously found the cache even they were stumped to remember the find, after a good search Jr Plant finally had the cache in hand SL TFTC
Found with AzzB. Discovered after searching around and reading a few hints. Found the container and a few nasty spikes. Tftc
Caught the train up for a days caching via foot. I was searching all about for this and with daylight running out was about to quit then I noticed something and bingo found it. Tftc
Our first cache for the day, with coffee in hand we had a good look at all the mining stuff around.TFTC
Found on my way to Wedderburn for the A Day Out in Wedderburn 2014
Thanks ZarZeeky
Thanks ZarZeeky
had lunch with some friends while caching in the area found with quantimquark and stooy (date is a rough idea)
Found today accompanied by my beautiful wife and son.
A special spot for us as we had some wedding pictures taken in this spot.

#1965 poppet heads everywhere we looked and we spied the sunflowers too. Not too sneaky for us and we did not encounter any prickles either. The log pages are getting a bit tatty from folks pulling them out of the container. Folded and rolled carefully and hopefully they will be easier for the next finders to extract. SL at 4.17pm Interesting views over the City from here. TFTC ZarZeeky
My first find! very very sneaky I must say. Really good to see a guerilla garden of sunflowers at GZ too!
We hadn't visited this mining area before and found it quite interesting. Thanks zarZeeky.It gave us something to talk about at the dinner table. Someone thought it was the old 180 mine but we would need to research further. A previous logger had good advice about prickes. Ouch.
Arrived at GZ and checked the description, carefully reading for any clues. Little voice piped up behind me, "Found it dad". Geoboy, you are so good. Sneaky. TFTC
Spending a weekend in Bendigo with Cathylm and geokids to do some caching. This cache took a while, but we did eventually find it, although it was not buried by any dirt! Thanks for the fun.
In Bendigo for a caching weekend with Julz76 and 2 geokids.
This was indeed a sneaky one - took quite a bit of searching for before we discovered it's hidey hole. Watch out for those small spiky plants - they are as sharp as needles and I managed to draw blood on two fingers while retrieving and re-hiding this one.
Thanks

Today went and had a look at the cache as I live so close and to see it was not there my friend said it mite have been berried in the dirt so we had a dig where there was soft dirt and we found it there but this has not been done on accident some one has berried it so that was just to let you no
Unfortunately the area down the hill appears to be being prepared for development which will spoil the view a bit. 
Took us quite a while to find this one. Very sneaky. Walked past it multiple times!
Definitely had my creepy feelings on but found it anyway don't recommend doing it at night if you scare easily TFTC with tikito
thanks for the cache we were on our bikes and riding around and we look ll around and then we found it
Second attempt at this one found quickly.can't believe I didn't find it first attempt walked past it a few times.
Looked around for awhile then found cache with Tamzy,holzcotz and curl69 on a lovely day out hunting TFTC
Catching up on on a few hundred missed logs 
Found with bucketeer

We were on our way to Victoria Hill when we noticed this poppet head poking it's head out and after exploring the ruins we pulled out the GPS to see if a cache lived nearby and as expected there was one a short distance away.
After checking all the unexpected spots we started checking the more expected spots and then made the find quickly.
Thanks for the hunt

Not the best place to go in thongs, broken glass everywhere. Loved looking around at all the ruins. Feel like the catche is under my nose. Will return with more appropriate shoes.
Had a good look but no luck thought I found a snake but was only some old rope thank god :S
Our 2nd day of caching in the Bedigo region.
Have been to some great areas this morning, old gold mine sites, parkes & waterways.
All have been good quality caches.

To all those looking for this cache be careful broken bottles and fucking junkies leaving syringes be careful
In Bendigo visiting friends. This was a short walk from their place. Lovely views. Geodad found the cache approx 4m from GZ.thanks for bringing us here.
Came out this way today to get the Learner Driver some extra hours. Very soon we will have 2 L platers so the sooner we get one to his P's the better! The Chief went off in search of the cache while photos were taken of the large relic here. TFTC
This one took us a while to find at night but after a bit of searching ronnienash found the cache. Thanks.
Re-found today as the last time I wasn't a member but went gc with magnucyl.

Find No. 280 @ 1658H
Found with Tyred n Cranky
Was in Bendigo so we decided to hunt down some caches before going for tea.
When we approached this area my heart sank and I thought we were going to be here all night searching, with so many possible places to hide a micro. But after a 10min hunt with 3 sets of eyes we soon had cache in hand and names in log.

TFTCBang-on coordinates led me straight to the hide. There is some vicious plant life guarding the cache! tftc.
Lots of broken glass in this area, but apart from that it's a nice location with lots of history. We found the cache after quite a bit of searching. My GPS was a couple of metres out which didn't help.
Not really a good place for little kids. Kept reminding my lil man not to touch anything. Took a while to find this one TFTC
TFTC Today was a big day with 57 finds in the Bendigo area with Honeysucker including an event to celebrate Tigersden's 250 hides. Finished up the day with some night caching in the CBD. Tommorow is the 4WD event to the east of Bendigo.
Quick find and sign - wasnt as sneaky as expected. TFTC.

We must have been lucky because we were able to locate this cache with a minute of arriving near GZ. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC XarZeeky.
