We've decided to archive this one as we aren't prepared to keep buying ammo tins for them to go missing..
Will need more toys in this one. Great spot.

Please check. Log book was wet. Nice spot. Geo kids kept things in there for next kids.
The coords were very accurate for this cache as we soon found cache. Normally we fair very badly in rock caches but not today. Unfortunately the log was soaked as both the log plastic bag and the outer plastic bag both had holes in them. We had a spare but it too had a hole in it! Oh well TFTC Crazy Creels
Out for the day with Mainebirds and Nacspaceman. No container. Replaced the cliplock bags, but logbook wet. Needs CO attention.

Second find with NacSpaceman and khanman47 on our trip around the res. As mentioned by others this is in desperate need of a container! We used some new ziplock bags but the log could use an airing/drying and a new home. TFTC
Found but no ammo tin - just a clip seal bag under rocks.
Plastic bag is split so needs a little attention

Didn't read logs before starting search. Was looking for ammo can, but due to keen eyes, was able to locate cache. Thanks Crazy creels.

3000. Found by baby&Mrs gopher in company with Team Ladava at 1330 on a drive to Eagle Hawk. We have enjoyed the meanderings about this reservoir. The cache container has gone and the contents are in plastic ziplock bags in the now vacant location. May need a little TLC here. SL Tnx Crazy Creels
Found by Team Ladava with our Geocaching sister and brother-in-law, baby&Mrs gopher who trekked down for The Rock near Wagga for a weekend visit.
A delightful stroll around the reservoir
We didn’t have a plastic bag with us but it is certainly needed to prevent the logbook getting wet as has been related numerous times the ammo can has disappeared.
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us anonymously to their favourite spots.

Our thanks to Crazy Creels for the cache and bringing us to this location.

Found with DoorMatt while on a lovely bike ride around Crusoe Res. Is hidden well, but certainly isn't in the form of a cammo box! tnln tftc
Found this cache, was with Maz3480, unfortunately somebody, maybe a muggle, has stolen the ammo box it was stored in, the bits and pieces are just paying under a rock TFTC
The ammobox that the cache was in, has been muggled, but everything else is still there under a rock needs to be replaced ASAP
The container itself seems to have gone walkabout, but the contents seem to still be safe with teigs15
Saw the contents from a distance, but no ammo box. It has either been taken or the contents have been moved. The log book was open and had some bad expletives written in it. I erased the swearing and signed the log. This is a pretty open position for a cache as you can be seen all the way from the carpark. tftc.
Contents are not in a container. The log book plastic bag is split so it will probably get wet. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare container on me to put the contents in ( I will add some spare ones to my caching backpack in future ).
Bold hiding spot -- can't believe the cache is still there. As my luck would have it, a walker rounded the corner at the far end, so I had to sit on the bench, twiddling my thumbs until it was safe to examine the plutonium.

Lovely mob of Kangaroos right on the GZ including a few 1 year olds and a couple in the pouch. Co-ords were spot on for this one. We took the trackable and will log this
Found at 9.10am
Wandering around Crusoe reservoir, in the rain looking for Caches and Munzees- great sized container

Our 4th find before heading to the motel in Bendigo. What a lovey spot. Thanks for taking us there. WE will have to go back again now to do the others, it was getting a bit to warm for Mrs Wanderer.

My first Geo caching with the grand children, their mum & Mary Dale (who just does not give in} it was a lovely walking the Crusoe res we had to start early as a 40 degree tempeture was forcast. We were about to give up as the GPS was bouncing about like crazy. I thought it maybe the water. The next minute Mary strode off like a horse with a burr under its saddle. Following in her dust we caught up, meanwhile the tempeture was riseing fast. I located the the cache much to the childrens delight, they got so excited. Flynn left a small compass, Maya left a smiley, I left a sticker, we were so excited we forgot to take anything. Thank you Madda and Crazy Creels You gave us such joy.

found this one a wee while ago, wish it didnt take so long to Log, great find well hidden TFTC
Nice large container for what can be a very busy place, nobody in sight today as it was very windy and surfing may have been an option for today's water conditions! TFTC
I ride my bike around the reservoir once a week, when we got to the coords I remembered I had seen people in the past climbing over the rocks and it suddenly made sense. Soon found and signed the cache with problematikal. TFTC!
Cool hide, cool cache, cool place. Found with Frosty Chops. He was straight on it while I was wandering round in the wrong spot. Tftc
We were a little confused at first because AN Rastan had put the co-ordinates into his GPS wrong, we spent a little while looking around and trying to appear inconspicuous by taking "photos" when a bike rider passed by. But we found it in the end. TFTC!
My co-ords were off a few metres as I had entered them in manually.
Quick readjustment and had in the hand in no time.

Found after a short search. My wife beat me to this one! Our 5-year-old son liked the animal ruler so we took it and left a tweetie-bird toy. TFTC!
Freezing cold day :/ find the cache easily TFTC. My son called it suitcache Signed the log as Bolitho family.
Kids enjoyed this one, few fishermen around but managed to do it sneakily we think TFTC!
This was our last morning caching in Bendigo before making our way back to Adelaide via Horsham and Francis caching along the way. Wasnt a bad total with 45 finds for the day. Could have been more but had some trouble early with DNF's on micros.
Wow - an ammo can. had a chat to a fisherman nearby who had just landed a red fin. TFTC.

Walking around reservoir to collect a strategic cache for GeosportZ 2012 challenge.
Had to hide under a tree for a while as we got caught in a shower of rain, and had to wait for muggles to stroll past.

Have run and ridden past this cache so many times...a beautiful area. Geokid was very excited by the "peace" mint tin - left ruler. TFTC
Die Munitionskiste gleich Zwischen den Steinen gefunden! Danke für diesen Cach!! Nichts rein, nichts raus!
We were staying in Bendigo the weekend so we thought we would have a walk and find some local caches and this was our last for the day.
This was the 4th for the day and our 5th overall
A really impressive cache

Thanks for the cache Crazy Creels

Took the walk along the banks of this beaut lake with Sully1 who made the find. Surprising how long it took us considering the size, thanks for bringing us here CrazyCreels, would have been nice to join the locals in for a swim.
Thanks Maddison & Crazy Creels. Got a huge surprise to see that size cache here. What a ripper! Found with bogonghazy on a daytrip to the area to retrieve our Secret Santa KK's. A few muggles swimming and around the Lake. A very pleasant spot at tea time on a hot day. Loved the cache and the location. TNLNSL. Cheers, and Merry Christmas to you all, hope to see you in Feb. L.
You know how it is.
You have a target to reach.
Ours was 1500 by the end of the year.
Mrs Riddell thought that it was a good idea to go caching after work on one of the longest days of the year.
She planned to go where there was lots of caches and Bendigo region was chosen as a likely target area.
We departed Riddells Creek at around 5pm bound for the goldfields.
This was cache 9 for the evening.
It was dark by now and we had the torch out.
The cache was easily found.

Easy find and excellent hide. All the muggles were busy sailing their remote control yachts and the others were swimming so they didn't bother to watch me. Thanks for bringing me to the reservoir. TFTC
Hard to believe the size of this sucker when it was revealed. Lots of water. Lots of cache.
Clear skies from TeamAstro.

I did my CITO act for the day cleaning up a heap of nearby rubbish. Why are fisher folk so filthy?

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 further we walked away from the car the more it rained. there were a couple of people using their remote controlled boast on the lake. It was nice to see an ammo can out here.

We didn't find too many ammo cans today but it was pleasing when we did. TFTC!
