Second time looking and still not able to find. Is it still there????

Cant locate, doesnt appear to be there anymore. Felt like we were doing something illegal loitering around the middle of the roundabout only to come away empty handed.

Everyone looking at us like we were criminals - nothing found

Did not find

couldnt reach container

Out exploring. Having a good day. Owner maintenance. Original cache found in first place looked. In good condition.

I lived in Beulah from 1972 through to the end of 1976. I attended the local primary school from Prep to the end of Grade 1, and my father was the Methodist minister there. I was in Beulah today for the funeral of a longtime family friend and one of my honorary aunts.

After the funeral, it was back into the car and the long trip home, with several geocaches to be found on that trip to break it up.

Seeing some of the places I remember from my early childhood was lovely.

Thank you, tigersden for this Traditional cache.

No idea

Drove around it, would be a good one for quieter times.

No recent finds and in a roundabout No thanks

On our travels we stopped to grab this cache, found the bottom of the cache but the log was missing suggested maintenance is needed, thanks for placing this cache

This was one of a few caches that Yeah09 and I found whilst travelling from my sisters house in St Arnaud, north to try and find the most northern spot in Victoria. We were ultimately unsuccessful in finding the spot, but we did find this cache. Our weekend was cut short on Saturday the 24th of September when we discovered that we both had COVID and had to return home to Melbourne to isiolate.

We stopped at the pub for a meal and then did this cache. Hope we weren't too infectious at the time.

Found by The Empire + H
School holidays are here and the road beckoned! Cruised through St Arnaud then through Donald, into Warracknabeal and on to Dimboola... Not many around today, this one was easy. Thanks for the cache tigersden!

Searching for this cache made me feel a little exposed. Unfortunately it took longer to find than it should have as the GPSr device took me to the opposite side of the roundabout from where the cache was eventually found. Thanks to tigersden for the cache.

The sign on sheet was saturated so I put a fresh bit of paper in there

Very wet not able to sign

Out and about today in search of some sunshine and caches. Unfortunately the clouds were hiding the sun but the cache was quickly spotted. Log very wet.
Thanks for a quick cache in the middle town.

Not a good find today, cach container good condition, log book drenched only thing was a can tab

We are on our maiden voyage in our caravan but have stayed close to home and the dealer in case we have any teething problems.

Having arrived in Donald yesterday and setting up camp, time to do a circuit in NW then down south without the van collecting Ad Labs and caches.

Spotted as I crossed the road so tucked back a bit further after signing log

Hi

Found with fitzy_1965 on an interstate weekend away collecting counties.

Today ended up being a very long day with us travelling from Hamilton to home (Goulburn) ….arriving after midnight. The motel we found was one of the best we have stayed in to date. I’d definitely like to come back again soon. We collected the rest of the counties that we wanted along with more adventure labs and virtuals in some fabulous locations. A much nicer day for travelling and caching today.

Of the caches we tried, they were found quickly and easily. Thanks so much to each and every CO.

28,089. Found with minniek during a caching run down to Ballarat and southwest Victoria in general.

Day 3. After staying overnight at a really lovely and well maintained motel in town, and munching down on Kebabs, Banana and Pineapple Fritters for dinner from Chris's Kebab and Grill, we headed out bright and early to continue our SouthWest Loop picking up some Local Government Areas/Counties as part of our quest to finish all the Victorian ones this year. This was the next cache on our list, and we made a quick find at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on our way.

Thanks tigersden !!

Quock find with tassie expat while walking around town looking for coffee. Nice spot. Thanks for placing it.

frmen1 and I are in the area again. This was a quick find, using the usual 'fool the muggles' techniques. Paper damp but able to write on it. Was funny to see a pic further up the road of a work team riding the sheep lol TFTC

A quick grab between cars.
On a road trip from Perth to Canberra with a few side trips for LGAs. TFTC

Great quick and easy find. TFTC. TNL

On a camping road trip and Redda's Park, Brim was our second stop. A great little camping ground. Today we drove down to Warracknabeal and picked up a couple of caches along the way. Mr Pooky headed to GZ without the GPS and managed to find the cache in the obvious spot and the first place he looked. While the shopping centre itself was busy, no-one was taking any notice of Mr Pooky doing a little sightseeing and checking out the exhibit and he managed to grab and return the cache during a break in the traffic. TFTC.

While taking an after dinner stroll we couldn’t resist the town’s caches. As it was dark and quiet we could hunt about. We had fun with the sheep, took photos and signed the log. Thanks tigersden

Out on hot summers day caching adventures with Wollaston.

Found a curious bunch of grass munchers guarding the hide.

Container condition great
Log condition great

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Log signed in first open spot with stamp

Find # 5181

Sunday morning definitely a good time to catch this one. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC tigersden
Find #7553 at 10:54.

After doing some cache maintenance in Ararat we are now on our way up to Mildura to do the fireworks up there for their New Year's Eve celebrations and of course we were stopping to grab any caches that are close to the road.

The two roundabout caches in Warracknabeal have been our nemesis for many years now.
Every time we have passed through town we have not been able to look as there has been a multitude of muggles around so all we could do was admire the sculptures. We pulled up not far from gz and were amazed that there wasn't a person to be seen, the whole town resembled a ghost town which made for nice easy searching and the cache was found in a logical location and the log book now contains our name.

Many thanks tigersden, what a great spot for a cache, we are really happy that we have turned it into a smiley.

Good spot

Found on the way home from our 5 day getaway to Wyperfeld NP - a wonderful break from work with spectacular locations, fun sand driving, good caches and great geo-friends.

This was a nice quick find. We took one look, thought "where would be a nice safe place to hide a cache" and bingo it was there. TFTC tigersden.

Day #11 of the Birthday Bush Bonanza. Sadly it was time to leave the crew and Wyperfeld National Park and head off exploring on my own. A couple of caches on the way back to Hopetoun followed by a loop of the Wimmera area.

Another artistic roundabout. Found the cache and made quick work of the sign and return process so we could get out of the centre of town .

Thanks tigersden for the cache and for contributing to the game.

My first 4x4 camping trip with this group, exploring more of Wyperfeld National Park. Sebastian is not quite equipped for deep soft sand, so I hitched a ride in RoamingHowie’s GeoRanger.
Day 3: Time to head home, finding a handful of caches along the way.
Another cute roundabout. RH again spotted this one.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, tigersden

Luckily for us, it wasn't a great day so not many people around. Also helped that we found this back in 2016. Shame we didn't keep notes but we basically remembered where it was. Thanks for the cache.

Travelling north to Wyperfeld from Portland for a desert caching weekend, I stopped to grab every cache I'd missed on previous trips, and this one was no exception. Muggle management was the problem here and combined with an indicated GZ on the wrong side it took me quite a while to locate and retrieve the cache .

Thanks tigersden

Out and about with Shumba7 on the Silo Art trail. TFTC.

TFTC. Found after lunch at peppercorn with Algae.

Great spot.

Mr Morris has a few weeks off but with border restrictions we thought we'd do a slow lap of Victoria while we had some good weather. With the van in tow we didn't try and stop as we travelled.
We headed for Brim and spent 3 nights there at the lovely community camp and collected some caches in a couple of loops from there.

We were lurking around town as it was Mr Morris' birthday and we were going to the very nice Creekside Hotel for tea. Once the shops shut it was a quick find for us.
TFTC tigersden

Could actually see it driving past so the fun was in trying to grab it while no cars were in sight. Even Sunday afternoon when everything is closed, still muggles driving about!

Great hide

We're having a baaaaaarell of a time. tftc

Muggles at night. Didn’t think the town was that busy on a Sunday night. TFTC

First time I’ve seen the ziplock bag on the outside of the cache! I’m caching by phone and it appears that Vodafone don’t want any part of Yarriambiack, but fortunately I was able to do this one without the aid of the description or hints. Thanks for placing!

Passing through and detoured in to check out the town. Being a Sunday we were able to park right next to GZ with caravan included. We got a few strange looks when searching for the cache from passing locals, including the town's constabulary. Lucky I had geo child with me so put him in the middle for a photo opp and then made the find when the coast was clear. Great location literally right in the centre of town. TFTC

Passing through town on the silo art trail. It's a shame most of the main street is closed...

Just passing through and stopped for lunch at the bakery.

Holiday road trip with the family to the Wimmera (with a cache or two thrown in)! Yah for Master 10! Ha ha. Great spot here. Thanks for the cache.

Quick grab. TFTC

Felt very exposed in the centre of the thoroughfare

Thank goodness there were no muggles about. Cache located OK . Loved the sheep! TFTH

Friendly locals made the find quicker - TFTC

Quick (compared to the other roundabout, which wasn't found)! Lovely statues, though again anxiety-inducing being in the middle of the road haha. TFTC!

Found with hparkinson whilst on the silo trail. Thanks

Nice easy find but difficult to look without being seen by muggles. Love this display. Thanks

My first little road trip out of Melbourne since the beginning of last year and COVID
Spending a night in Warracknabeal while checking out the silos in the area.
Quick, easy find.

Nice spot to admire the sheep. Glad they had their hats on as it was getting hot after the rain had passed by.
The one obvious spot neared fruit. So after a few photos we were off again.
Favourite given so these two close friends are all squared up.

Found! Great spot. Got caught by many muggles as tried during the day

Took us longer than we had hoped but found after getting down on one knee. TFTC.

Tyfc! Have been travelling to warrcknabeal most school holidays for 30 years. Today we made the treck to lay my last grandparent to rest. After being disheartened by a dnf and a little help fromy muggle sister the cache is in hand. Pen stopped at the wrong moment but have a photo of the log.thank you

Another first - Warracknabeal a long way from home so pleased to stop here and absorb some local history whilst on the Silo Art Trail. Felt a bit exposed on the roundabout! TFTC

Very quiet around town today, a good chance to look for this cache without too many muggles.
A quick find meant off to the next one for a look

Found it

We thought it was going to be a bit tricky but luckily we spotted a likely hiding location straight up.
Thanks tigersden for the placement.

On a trip to Warrack for some caching, first one for the day. Tftc

What a fantastic spot for a cache tigersden. I’m still chuckling. I arrived in Warracknabeal at lunchtime, of course the absolute wrong time to do this ‘middle of muggle world’ cache, but managed it anyway without anyone noticing me. Ha! Love the roundabouts here. A real feature for a tourist going through.

bit hard to be stealthy in the middle of the main intersection but hope we managed it.

Child found this one

Good cache

Nice little sneaky sneaky find at night.

Found during our adventure for the silos after a yummy lunch!

Found with the sneaky tying the shoe trick during our lunch stop. Off to find more silos!

When I was last in this area, the decorating of huge silos had not become fashionable, so along with visiting these now famous of the beaten track painted silos, I was also hoping to find a respectable number of geocaches With that second activity I stopped here and soon made my mark in the log. Got this one in a roundabout sort of way TFTC tigersden

Found it

Sneaky hide

Tftc. Easy find.

Out with Bunadoorian on an adventure for the day to clean up a few Local Government Areas and UBD maps! Thisis find 11 for today. While waiting for our dinner to be ready we thought we would come and grab this one. I found the cache neatly hidden. TFTC tigersden

The sheep were shrouded in festive decorations today. TFTC

We saw teamastro here so we came to check it out but they had left before we got there. Grub62 was able to find this cache thought. TFTC.

When we travel, our route is planned largely by our passion for caching and the number of green/orange icons on the map which hopefully will become smiley tokens when we reach our destination.This is one of the caches we found today as we travelled from The Bellarine to Ouyen.

Thanks 'tigersden' for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Found It!
A quick find here. I suspect I was probably been watched by someone...
TFTC

Quick find Tftc. Greetings from Adelaide

Nice, quick find. Knew where to look and spotted it from the corner before entering roundabout. Geo12 went in for the grab and o gave him my phone and asked him to take a selfie.... thought he’d try and get the whole centre of the roundabout in the pic.... wrong!! tftc!

Log was rubbish, so replaced with a new one. All good now.

Approached GZ with some trepidation as you are very exposed here but no one seemed to take any notice. The cache log was just bits of paper so discarded them and replaced with a new log. Now all good.
TFTC tigersden

Thank you

Found it. Good hiding spot.

Nice quick find tftc

Great little quick find

Unfortunately couldn’t find looks like the roundabout has been maintained so maybe it’s been removed

Suscoe's second day of caching in Horsham and the countryside around this region.
Another brilliant Winter's day.
Sunshine all day with a breeze from the north. The car said 17 was the top temp but it felt warmer at times.
Quiet locations for the caches that we visited and lots of fun as we wandered the back roads of this region.
Thanks to tigersden for this hide, an enjoyable spot and great art work.
Sad to see so many empty shops in the main street.
