Sorry. Must Archive.

Planning and implementing this cache must have taken some time - excellent job and camo excellent indeed. A well deserved favourite from us. Great spot to visit too.
TFTC the old blokes.

TFTC! Driving past for work, thought I had better get one !! Great hide very impressed!!

Wow. Nice hide. Found a red herring that someone has placed as a throw down. Removed this and found the clever hide. TFTC.

JSando and I headed to Mildura with TheirMum tagging along for the long weekend to host a Geocaching Victoria event to promote The Parkville Event in November. Whilst at the event, we met up with Jaktembo and decided to cache together for the rest of the weekend with this being our first. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in and around Mildura, visiting many different locations that we'd never see otherwise. Found on our way home. Thank you so much for bringing us here. TFTC

Awesome hide. Once you see it you can't unsee the obvious. Fave point.

Parked neer by soon had cache in hand.
Found with carkisser and JAKTEMBO on our awesome weekend in mildura.

A fav from us

I saw that this one had over 70 favourites and just had to stop by and try it and we were not disappointed with this hide. Thanks again the old blokes for a great hide, worth yet another fave point from us.

Another great cache hide, fav from me, on our way home to Horsham. TFTC

Great cascade and hide thanks guys.

What a fantastic hide!
Quick easy drive by find. TFTC ‍‍‍

Visited again, 4 or 5 years after our first visit to this location, this time with 2 little geo kids. Kids loved this one, took TB 1PRR0K, will journey with us back to Darwin. Thanks Old Blokes

Out for a day of caching with the Geo-Mum while visiting the family in Bendigo for Christmas. This was our fifth of eleven caches for the day. After looking in all the most obvious spots Mr Pooky finally made the find. A great little hiding spot and very well disguised and some may not even find it . A favourite from us. We left a TB. TFTC.

After completing the Victorian Country Road Atlas Challenge it was time to head home to SA. Grabbed a few caches along the way. TFTC.

Love this cache. Very clever.
Tftc

Heading north for a few days and decided to do the Calder series to help break up the drive.
I must admit that this one took longer than it should.
I tried quiet a few nooks and crannies and just seemed to miss the correct spot.
I think I did about 20 laps of GZ and with great relief I finally spotted the cache.
Left a namesake for the next finder.
A favorite goes out to you for this great cache.
Thanks the old blokes TFTC.

That was cool! I love the find! Kids thought it was awesome!

Difficult!

Found by wingfield 5:36pm

Found it

Found on the way to Bendigo for the weekend.

The keen eyes of geohubby had this one in had fairly quickly (although a spider had me shriek a little lol) great camo. Favourite point here. Sltnln tftc

We've tried this one before and it defeated us. This time sharp eyed Mrs GN spotted it. A brilliant cache, worthy of a FP
On the way home after visiting Alice Springs for the Red Centre event. We would like to thank all the cache owners for maintaining and providing these challenge caches for our enjoyment.
Thanks the old blokes for this cache, real nice hide

Dear Old Blokes. Bit of planning went into that one. The Muggle Mrs loved it. On our way to visit Friends who are living in Sea Lake for 3 months. SL TFTC

Really must admire the time and effort that has gone into this one - beautiful work. After trying a few likely spots it had me beaten but then a casual glance back gave me a clue. TFTC.

Find no#2 out of 7 for the day with BeardedMuggle on our way to meet up with other cachers for an Easter weekend in Mildura.
Day 1 of 3 for us.
Didn't take too long to find. But it was a little bit of a struggle. Great camo.
Fantastic hide, love it! Appreciate the effort.
Worth all the fav points.
Took: nothing.
Left: nothing.
Hope you have an eggselent Easter. Happy Good Friday =D
Thanks for placing this to break up our drive.
Cheers & T.F.T.C =]
Safe travels and hoppy caching!

31 cache finds and 2 fantastic events attended makes for a wonderful weekend away geocaching! [^]
Especially when the caching is in the old blokes' territory and you just know thta you are going to be going 'oooh, aaah, awesome!' over and over again!
Even the weather played its part by showering us with rainbows, sunshine and rain all at the same time [^]

A quick find that is quite appropriate for a dash 'n' grab cache hide

Heading towards Mildura today, picking up a few on the way. TFTC

19/02/2017 - 9.13am - No. 865 - 3rd of 7 finds for the day - with Surefoot24 & Darren on the return leg of a Geocaching weekend to attend the weekends 9 month to event event & find others while in the area .

Sadly our weekend away geocaching has come to an end & we had to head home but we left early so we could do a little finding on the way. Another great cache, great camo! [8)] Signed, sealed & returned to it's home. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC. We are in Wedderburn for the 9 Month to Alexandra Event. We were in no hurry to be anywhere so we decided to stay and avail ourselves of the many caches in and around this historic town. The weather is kind and we are having a great time exploring and finding caches. Thanks to all the COs.
A great hiding spot. Linda could see I was struggling so jumped out of the car in in a thrice she had found the clever hide.

Awesome hide for this cache. Another favourite point from Aussie M & M. Thanks.

In the area with Aussie M & M, for an event earlier in the day so now it is time to head back towards our accommodation and find lots of the fantastic caches to be had.
Thanks

Awesome camo for the cache hide. Found with friends.

A fun trip across the border. We left late afternoon on Friday and made it to Wedderburn late into the night. The purpose was for us to go on a roadtrip and attend the "9 months to Alexandra Mega" event.

I had a wonderful time with my Victorian caching buddies, and catching up with the lovely Locus Cache.

We laughed, shared crazy tales, spoke about puzzles, went 4wd and hung out with mates....I eventually got home late Sunday night in prep for work on Monday - an awesome weekend!

Thanks for the cache the old blokes!

Another clever cache in this area. Deserves another favourite point. TFTC

This was a very very fast find, since I just happened to glance at the right spot, even before starting to search.
Greetings from a travelling geocacher from France.
SlackMac.

What an awesome cache! While an easy find, the thought and skill that went into this cache is just great! Faves from me!

What a perfect hidding spot. I really love your hides. Keep up the good work

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Awesome cache. Well designed, loved it. TFTC

Dropped off Left Handed Spanner TB.

Out today on a country road trip to fill in some LGA's and explore the countryside.
Sun came and and it really heated up - great to explore some new spots!

Spent some time circling and searching with no such luck. Tricky little ones out this way I say! Went around once more and spotted - ah that dopamine rush when you realise you have found the cache - what a gem too! Impressive old boys - I will be back to explore some more of the town!

After caching around the St Arnaund area for three days it was time to head home, I had heard there were some quality caches over at Wedderburn so I decided to head that way before making my way home, it was a little tricky caching with the van in tow but I manged to grab quiet a few quality cahes. Thanks the old blokes for the cache.

Omg we love this 10/10

Loved this cache. Very clever. Thank you so much!

Found with sixy2sue. We were very impressed with the well camouflaged cach

Love these types of caches and the effort put into them!

Love the hiding spot TFTC;)

With Mrs one-eyed and our Nissan 4WD and caravan in tow stopped bye this spot.
After a short search, and even with my torch,Mrs one-eyed spotted the cache, well designed and hidden.
Congrats.

Found just in sunset a great hide and cache.
Many thanks.
LS cheers

Quick grab, nice hide wasn't expecting it to be that size

Great camouflage! Took a bit but brains prevailed.

Found by geohubby! Needed to poke around some what. Great hide!

After a massive rest back at our accommodation it was decided with TR! and honeysucker to go out once more to do some caching out to the east of Wedderburn by torchlight. Not being too cold we had a few laughs as we travelled in tandem around the narrow roads searching, signing and returning in anticipation for the next cache.
This clever hide had us hunting for quite sometime and while doing so we caught the attention of a local police woman as she drove past. Did I say drove past? Nope! She stopped to see what us dodgy people were up to. After giving her the spiel on geocaching she says "I have a friend that does that!" We tried to tempt her in helping us locate the cache but she turned us down and went on her way, now she was satisfied we weren't up to any mischief. I'm happy to say I found the well hidden container here and Im certainly going to be giving you a favourite point for the ingenuity put into this one.
**Thanks to the old blokes for the hides and giving us the opportunity for a great experience tonight.**

After a massive rest back at our accommodation it was decided that the night wasn't over.
TheTritonz and Honeysucker hit the road again, as there was more to do, and by torchlight this time.

We had a visit from the police at this one. Just wondering what 6 people where doing wandering around the side of the hwy with torches late at night. Knew about caching, so didn't give us too much of a hard time.

Thanks for bringing us to this location, and for having such unique hides for us to find.

FP for this one..

Dropped tb

Thanks for the awesome hide. We had some cachers stop and help we sure would have taken a while to find it. TFTC! Only two trackables were in it not 4. Took one to move along.

Well if this one didn't have me scratching my head. No idea how I was going to retrieve this one. Ah hah!!! Got it in hand to find a TB in residence, making it even more worth the effort it took. Now . . . . . . . how to replace it was a little trickier as I certainly couldn't put it back the same way I retrieved it. Loved the challenge of this one, thanks "the old blokes".

This was the best one all weekend, and appropriately, we left the best for last. Just the event to attend now! It's been a great day caching around Wedderburn. Left two TB's. A favourite from me. TFTC

Found it after a bit of searching. A well constructed cache. Thanks to the Old Blokes. Left travel bug.

I wasn't going to stop but I am so glad I did. Great cammo tftc

Cool. Great hide. TFTC

Another rippa!!!! These caches are getting better and better love the Camino tftc

Found at 4.15 pm. Stopped by on way to Hopetoun for tea with family. Loved the camo! A fav point from me.signed log and replaced TNLN .

Found with Teamlauren. A very clever hide, we noticed something looked a bit out of place. Thanks for the cache.

Great camouflage. Very clever hidr. We noticed something nqr and soon had cache in hand. Found with emthegem. Quick find for us once we knew what we were looking for. Tftc.

Made a quick maintenance visit and "all systems are GO"

Another great hide, had the thinking cap on. TFTC

Between a rock and a hard place. Well disguised. Thanks for that blokes! (signed log as kptwit68)

Found on a family day caching. Lots of traffic about so stealth was a must. Nice easy find behind some of the best camo I have seen. Tftc.

Log full. Nifty little hiding spot.

Number 9 so far for the day. A clever hide. Signed and replaced. Log is almost full,
TFTC the old blokes,

Sorry for the generic log, trying to quickly log all my recent finds before I forget them all.

Lord Rossatron and I went on a road trip to Bendigo to do a spot of geocaching while going to attend a funeral in Melbourne on the Monday. The goal was to find our 100th cache on our trip, with our current total on 61 we were going to have a busy 2 days. Our trip reached a little roadblock when we blew our tyre and we lost a little more time changing it than we care to admit. After completing a drive that should have taken 4 hours if not caching in 8 hours we were very pleased to finally reach our destination. Luckily we took a major dint out of our goal finding 28 geocaches on the way, so we could have a slightly more relaxing trip back. A quick drive around Bendigo 2 days later had us find another few caches getting our total to 95 before it was time to drive home, and re visit some of the caches we drove past or DNF the first trip. Success!! Finding the few caches we DNF we managed to get to the 100th Cache. Will sleep easy over the next few days. TFTC

Stopped here the other day while traveling to bendigo and spent way too long looking for this one. I eventually gave up and sulked back to the car as it was the second in a row I didnt find. Came back today eagle eyed and spotted it rather quickly. Took a bunch of photos to show people when they ask what geocaching is about and I also grabbed the Travel bug while I was there. What an amazing cache.

Dropped off TB.

Found on our way home from the Melbourne Event. Lovely job on the camo! Thank you, well worth a stop! Cache#2296.

Fantastic camouflage. FTFC

Thank you for this cache, it was a great place to stop but was the most brilliant hide we have seen yet. We nearly reported it missing and then, there it was! TFTC!

Wow, what a hide! So impressive! I'm not sure how the old blokes do it, but this container seemed to be made for the little nook which housed it and fit just like Cinderella's shoe, not to mention the totally perfect camo! The cache itself didn't take long to find, but I'm so impressed by the old blokes hides that I'm considering creating a pocket query just for them so I can find more ingenious caches! Definitely another favourite point from me... though I don't have too many left thanks to several wonderful caches found today! Thanks for bringing me to this monument today old blokes and thanks again for such a fantastic, creative cache!

Great hide hubby saw it very quickly signed and replaced tftc

Brilliant. Great hide. Just about the best I've seen. Found on Oct 6 on way home from Wentworth NSW. Thanks "Old Blokes" Love your work.

Very well done. Top marks

Haha Very Shifty We Love It

Thanks For The Cache The Old Blokes!

-Team Campion

This one is real cool! TFTC

We have spent the past few days driving just to get some hours for our current learner driver (middle child). The Chief has used this as a plausible excuse for collecting some geocaches from all over the Vic map. So a drive from Melbourne to Mildura via Mount Gambier has occurred. This evening we are heading back toward home. This cache was too tempting to resist searching for in the dark. After a bit of misdirection by the GPS the cache was soon located by the learner driver. Funny that he is the family member who introduced us to this activity 6 years ago and now generally looks at us with sadness and secretly thinking how tragic we are when we say we are off caching. Interesting to see he is still good at the hunt! I could see the little wry smile that he'd discovered the cache and beaten the Chief to the punch! TFTC

Travelling around Australia with our Cat.

Staying longer in St Arnaud, than we first thought, today we headed back up to Wedderburn to try and add to our existing smilies. Hmm well we tried, but there are soo many caches up here. We fell short of our mission again today, think this is our 4th day caching in town.

What an amazing day in this amazing area. Just love the history and the scenic places geocaching has taken us to in this region.

Wow we missed this cache when we wrote our caching list for today but noticed it on the map. Phew thankfully we didn't drive past this gem. How many of these monuments are there in this area.

Thanks for placing your cache to assist with our touring of the area, and feeding our geoaddiction. the old blokes

Damn !! [:o]
Another fave point I have to give to "the old blokes" [:o]
I'm rapidly running out of fave points in Wedderburn !!

But this cache really, reaallly , reeeeaaaaaalllllllyyy deserves a fave point [^]

I forget the last time I found such a 'cheeky' cache hidden in plain sight

And thanks for another Major Tom moment too
I hopped back into me tin can and sped off across the caching universe.

found on way home from Bendigo Bird sale. It is good to see something different. Good hide. TFTC

found it. What a good hide. TFTC

Driving through on our way to warmer weather with not much time to spare but just HAD to stop off quickly to grab this one. We can see now why the 45 fav points are so well deserved! A great hide on such a massive monument. Thank you to the old blokes! We traded pathtags with you over a year ago, and now it's nice to finally be able to get up this way and tick off at least one of your caches! SLTNLN

So clever! Tftc.

Wow! I wasn't expecting that! Very cool. Tftc

Sensational hide and worth a fav point.
Again a lot of thought and effort has gone into this one.
Thanks to the old blokes and we will be back another time to do more.

A very wheel constructed cache and hide,
in a great location. Fav from me.
thanks to, the old blokes

I took me 2 times around it, before finding the cache
Great hide and well made cache.

Thanks for the hide the old blokes

Another cache that was on our list for it's great haul of fav points. We picked this cache up at 11:58am. What a fantastic hide!! Very impressed.

Sharkiefan and I decided to head north and checkout the Old Blokes weekend in Wedderburn. We'd heard a lot about it and we weren't disappointed. We had a great weekend and caught up with heaps of people, oh and we found a few caches, of which this was one found on our way home. Thanks for the cache the old blokes!
