Tell him he's dreaming. Strathmore, Victoria, Australia
By vp4 on 16-Nov-09. Waypoint GC2145V

More like a nightmare today. To quote a famous Aussie ad ( well it was famous in NZ) " Where the bloody hell are ya?". GPS pointed to an obvious hiding place but must have been asleep cos we couldn't find the cache........ Never mind, the trip was worth it just to see the Castle which is looking very tidy

The locals obviously know where it is and with not many other spots available it will keep disapearing each time its replaced. I or someone else may retry a hide in this area after some time. Good while it lasted, thanks for your logs
cheers

Looked around but no luck. GPS has been off today with a few

Nice to see this one back in action.
A pleasant stroll in the late afternoon sunshine and a straightforward find.

To paraphrase Dale - " Caching is 10% brains and 95% muscle, the rest is just good luck!"

Enjoyed my good luck, thanks and cheers!

Loved the movie, so many lines are repeated and remembered in everyday talk now too.
Thanks for the quick find vp4

A mint tin replacement has been put out tonight.

will replace soon

Found probable location, in line with the hint, but no cache. You may want to check it's still there...
Searched location with @niktiav.

maybee he is dreaming after all. no sign and not found by 4 probing at height eyes.

Maybe I'm dreaming, but couldn't find any sign of it today

Moved trackable

huge fan of the castle. we even have a holiday house at bonnie doon.
i couldnt reach the cache. but i stretched up and placed a sticker on the cache. magnets are too strong.
i have also done the other cache at the kerrigains place at bonnie doon.
thanks vp4 [:x]

Love the movie and it was very cool to come to this location. Fast find at gz, happy that i did not need to go through the rubbish along the fence line. SLTNLN, TFTC.

Found at night with Geobuds, but didnt realise it was the actual movie site. easy find, no air activity sadly, so enjoyed the rare serenitiy looking over to the city.

No planes but found the cache

Quick find with geo buddies

after a long time we had found it.Took us a while but we found it in the end. TFTC

Super easy find. Took a hipo and left a candle. Thanks heaps.

found today with team mooo
very excited to visit this cache, and wasn't disappointed
need to revisit this gem of a movie been a while since I've watched it

Geokids loved watching the planes take off and the helicopters landing!

tftc

Found today with Spotty Teapot and the geokids.

Cache was found out in the open just sitting on the ground. We replaced in where we thought it should have been but it didn't look like it was going to stay there long. Not sure if it used to be magnetic?

Was very exciting seeing the house - complete with boxing bag lying on the ground under the "kickboxing tree".

Kid's loved seeing planes and helicopters flying overhead.

Thanks for bringing us here!

Caching and movie history. Love it. TFTC

Found it...nice n easy and what a surprise, I've seen the movie a few times ...can't believe here I am at the house, too quool.

TNLNSL & TFTC

How fun! We live in the Blue Mountains NSW and had visitors for dinner on the Saturday night before we did this cache. The wife was Australian married to an American and they were living in Jordan. They have been to Australia many times before but this was the first trip for their daughter's American boyfriend. So out came The Castle to indoctrinate him into Australian Culture. We flew down to Melbourne for my husband's work on the Sunday. Imagine our surprise and delight when the next day we were able to do this cache! We had no idea where the house was and were pondering this very fact when at breakfast we saw the name of this cache. It couldn't be we thought...and it was...we weren't dreaming. Thanks so much vp4 for placing the cache and showing us this iconic bit of Australian culture

Classic movie and only yesterday, at home in Sydney whilst watching the beginning of The Castle with friends from overseas, I was wondering what airport that was behind the house. I had my serial geocaching wife with me to show her Essendon and the places I frequent when I work in Melbourne so of course off geocaching we went and found "The Castle" and the airport of course! So now I know. TFTC vp4

new one placed today

Replacement cache placed today.

Love little spots like this where you can watch the planes yay FTF for the new log hey, take it where you can find it, I say. Interesting "camo"

Not much air traffic today. TFTC.

will replace soon

As I live close enough to visit this one, I drove by this morning... and can confirm that the cache is indeed gone.

Local kids came out ti show me where it was.... Gone!

What a great cache.
If I was living here I would definitely go the double glazing
Thanks for the cache
Cache is in good nick. Could do with a new log book though. 25/05/12 4:55 PM Find #330

A great finish to my first foray into geocaching. I have the bug.

Nice easy find with my friend!!
Made me want to watch the movie again for the twentieth time:-)

I can't believe they still have a boxing bag hanging from the tree!

Don't come here on the Holliday's lots of kid's. (:

Nice quick find after street orienteering. I'll have to watch the movie now.

My first find!!

In planning our trip to this side of Melbourne we noticed this one and put it on the must do list - straight to the pool room! Thanks for the fun!

Our first cache for the day after completing the Woodlands series the past two days. This was on the had to do list, wasn't disappointed.

Thanks vp4 for the cache and the memories.

Tell hím he's dreaming. Hasn't that become a famous saying since the movie was released.

A great little location to visit just because of what it is. Winglen, ZsaZsa7 and myself were in Melbourne for the Woodlands series and this was the first cache after completing it.

Thanks vp4 for setting a cache that really is all about the location.

A favourite for me.

Arrived near GZ and noticed what was behind the fence. I considered staying for a while to see what would come in but decided not too. Cache was easily found once I looked up. TFTC

Nice quick find. Tftc

Found ok. Thank you

found a friendly and somewhat wild group of kids near the cache who promptly directed us to its location. cool place to hide the cache as it allowed one to reminisce about a classic Australian movie. Definitely the favourite cache for the day TFTC

This was the last cache of the day with willbuster but definitely the most memorable. When we got to the location we were openly wondering what the house in movie looked like, I guess I should refresh myself sometime soon, at the same time as we arrived however a tribe of children were playing around the street.

Perhaps I should have turned away and ignored their curiousity but they couldn't help but initiate contact - one of them introducing themselves as 'Bob Jane', another as 'Justin Beiber' and one more as 'John West'. Without so much as a passing thought they said they wanted to show me something cool and proceeded to lead me towards the cache (I'm thinking that either someone slipped up earlier or kids these days are just way too smart for their own good). Signed log, bid the tribe thanks and adieu. 3/3

Good hide !

On the way home from an attempt on the woodlands series I had just enough time to find this cache. I have seen the movie before and I think it is one of the best aussie movies of all time . It was good to see the house and have a cache to top it off . The hide was located very easily which wasn't much surprise. Thanks for bringing me here vp4

Easy find great location I didn't look to hard but where were the power lines ?

Quick find in a spot I didn't expect to find a cache of that size - A bold hide & a good one.

Thx vp4 for the hide,

Heading to Melbourne to tackle the Woodlands Power Trail and grab some caches while the girls were shopping at the DFO today.

No dreaming going on here today. TFTC.

All quiet in my pre-christmas parcel pick up to this area. TNLN TFTC

TFTC

Suscoe wasn't dreaming this morning.
We located this cache, signed and returned, watched the plane take off, and admired what was left of the home.
Thanks to vp4 for showing us this place.

Not a ' hole ' lot of serenity around here. I think the new subdivision has filled in Dales hole. Done both houses now. TFTC

Very quiet today. Thanks vp4

Found using navman for a change.

Still looks very similar! Nice piece of nostalgia - TFTC

Found this one this time, after placing this one on my watch list & reading the last log about how this one was found. Gotta laugh at that!!!
Found with Tilla83 @ 13:10. SL, TFTC

Found with smrff78 nice and quick find tftc.

Well this takes the cake! In all my cache finds this is a first! We got to GZ and parked within 2m of it, OK, pretty obvious...couldn't find cache, walked around for quite a while...couldn't find cache...oh well, check logs...hmmm, seems like it has gone...get back in car and start to drive off...but wait, there's a woman and her daughter running out of the house where the subject of this cache used to stand and waving their arms at us...I wind the window down and she says "Are you looking for this??" and hands me the cache!!! She said they had found it on the ground and were worried the local kids in the street would find it and take it. I thanked her profusely, signed the log and returned the cache to where it obviously had to go...

...so it's ba-ack! That one goes "STRAIGHT TO THE POOL ROOM!"

This is the 1105th cache find for WazzaAndWenches.

The Wenches were tied up at another calisthenics concert for a few hours so I had time to fill in. Mrs and Ms BackPAQer joined the Wenches at the concert while Mr BackPAQer and I took off to find a few caches.

As the log from BackPAQer states, this was a very funny cache find.

Thanks vp4.

I agree with smrff78 I think its gone

Went out to do this one yesterday & had a bit of trouble locating it as it was not where i thought it would be. I called a friend for a little help & she told me where it should be, which was where i looked. So i think it may have been muggled.

Thanks for bringing us to this spot. Never would have come here otherwise. Loved the movie. An Aussie classic. Left a new log & a pencil. TFTC

Found while out caching with LouiseAnn on a rainy and cold day. After completing the earth caches at the Organ Pipes National Park and caching around in the area all day we drove by this one on our way home. The cache was quickly found and signed. I saw the movie for the first time just a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Cool to have been here. Thanks for bringing me here vp4.

This cache was Ostra74 and my last cache find for the day, after completing the earth caches at the Organ Pipes National Park and caching around the area. We parked nearby and strolled into the cache, in the dark, it had been a long day. We walked past a parked car, with a man in it, using something that looked suspiciously like a GPS and we thought we’d found another cacher, but looking at the logs, it looks like we imagined it. We found the cache quickly and signed the log, before heading home after a long caching day. Thanks for the cache vp4

Today was a massive day of caching. I woke knowing all I had to do was make my way to the airport and catch a plane to Adelaide for a conference. Along the way I was going to grab a few caches... In the end I think it ended up being 36 or 37. There were a number of tricky hides and a number of easier ones also. It always amazes me how much time must be spent in construction and placement of caches all over the place. Unfortunately this generic log doesn't do them justice but I have to use my iPhone to log them. Thank you for the cache. A.

Found this while detouring on the way home this afternoon.
Great spot! Left a blue toy.
The log is just about full on this one.

Yeeee found ittttt

Easy find thanks. Dales holes have definitely been filled in. There is another house being built in the back yard!! Wonder if they have a permit! Took gc

Dropped my Australian Flag geocoin at this iconic Aussie location.

Looks like the patio in the backyard is turning into a 2-story dwelling?

great spot to live if you're a plane spotter
The towing business is going well judging by the building works out the back

Did not sign the log - had a lazy day.

A nice cold but sunny Sunday with Lachlan, Trevor & Amar.

Once again, for the third time today, MAS0N Jnr had the cache before I'd finished with the GPS. I'm seriously thinking of giving it away. This cache also contained a swap we left in a cache many kms away and months ago. Needless to say, we had to swap it back. Took rubber, left alien chicken. TFTC

Found on another legendary night caching run with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671). I have a confession to make, i have never watched "The Castle". I will one day, but i did recognize the house from the trailers, and tid bits of the movie i have seen. Thanks for bringing me here. Must do the sister cache to this one. TFTC.

Out tonight for another mega night time cache hunt with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy). Haven't seen the movie yet, neither had Marshy, we promised to sit down one day and just do it, while having a few beers. Nice quick find once at GZ. Thanks for the cache.

Easy to find , fortunately Muggles dont seem to see right in front of their noses!

Quick easy find. SLTNLN. T4TC

Found it at 11.55pm after drop off my son at the Tulla airport.
Nice easy find
TFTC

Found with GeoFather Glenauliffe. TFTC

Found on cache finding afternoon with my geoSon from Adelaide ( MacLalli ). TFTC.

TFTC, nice and easy

?

well done on this interesting location... just as i remembered it from the movie. didnt realize that it was actually so close to the airport.

TFTC

TFTC. Found it with Expom2.

Found at 1725. After a few hours shopping with the daughter - couldnt resist the chance to get a cache!! And The Castle would have to be one of my favourite all time movies! Quick easy find Took nothing left Tattoo SL TFTC

Interesting hide... we were going back and forth under it for sometimes and accidentally looked at it.

TFTC

I think you'll have difficulty finding any gates in the backyard as it nows consists of an almost complete 2nd house. I didn't realise how close to the big birdies this residence was!

Nice hide.
First night time find.

Kids playing out the front preclude a dash for the cache! ah well back another day!

Spoke too soon! Kids got distracted and we made a quick and easy grab! Ha ha! Thanks for bringing us here; cool! TNLN TFTC

An excellent location. Was really glad to have come here today, as it is always so much fun to visit a film location.
Thanks vp4 for the cache.

A nice quick find even with a few muggles about in the construction site nearby.
Thanks for the hide.

found this one without much trouble. took to fishy magnet and replaced with a boomerang magnet.

Arrived in time to see a small plane take off. Swapped the paper clip for a fishy magnet. Thanks

A quick little side trip while I was in the area and I had this cache in hand in a moment. The rain kept any prying eyes away but meant that I only saw one plane land before I had to retreat to the car to avoid getting too wet.
TNLN.

Cheers vp4, thanks for bringing back memories of a great Aussie film.

Quick Find TN LN TFTC

I remember the airfield view from the movie. Left Eifel Tower paperclip. TFTC and a little iconic serenity.
