Wagonfull Woomelang, Victoria, Australia

This wagon is now seemingly on private property as it is fenced off and there is a house. We did not attempt to locate cache.

Exposed on ground. Replaced where we thought it should be.

Note for cache owner... wagon is behind a fence and there is something being built in that block of land. May need to relocate this cache.

Found while passing through on way to Mildura. Great way to break up the road trip and keep kids entertained

Nice easy find once I googled the hint. Thanks for a simple one on the journey!

The artwork across the road is certainly worth a look. We did not go into the gallery today but will certainly return another day when travelling through the area and check out the gallery. SL TFTC

Found with mile high RnC on our way home from Patchewollock.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

After googling the hint the rest was easy
Signed log and replaced

An easy find for us on our way to Ballarat.

Our last cache of the day after going on a trip around the area for caches. Nice easy find
TFTC

Quickly located with Sushilord, AussieM&M and Dr Owl on the way to an Event in Mildura!! Thanks Tigersden for the hide!!

It'd be nice to know the history behind this wagon. Note to CO - when traveling past in August (log written in September) the wagon was behind a fence, access to the cache may be a problem in the future.

Thanks for the cache tigersden.

Easy clue for Mrs M as she and Mr M have been to where the movie was filmed. Lots of them around that there wagon though. Sushilord made the find and we were left wanting as we didn't have the correct log book to replace the one here. Sorry, normally carry them, but CP was the cache bag carrier this weekend and he doesn't hide micro's so didn't have a replacement. TFTC Cerena, wow, two caches in a row.

A quick find by Sushilord in the open at an interesting location. The logbook is very full, but they didn't have anything with them to make a replacement. They did cover the cache better though.

Cute town. Found it - Thank you

Great hint made for a quick find. Ride on mower racing could be interesting TFTC

Heading to Mildura for a holiday with sulkybear and our 2 geokids (aged 3 & 5) so we picked up a few caches on the way. Nice easy find by Master 3. Amazing how big these wagons were. Thanks for the hide

Thank goodness for the hint, even if I did have to goggle it
Thanks

3637.Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1420. We are on the road to the BigLittleEvent 2 in SA. The - had us 8 metres from where we located the container.We changed our search to the other end from gz. The log book is almost full and will need replacing in the not too distant future. SL Tnx tigersden

Cache was a bit hard to find at first, but eventually found it. TFTC tigersden.

Was fairly quiet here today, except for the police man doing driver checks at the other end of town. GPS had us about 8m from the wagon, so using trial and error based on the hint we got there in the end. A big tractor pulled up right next to gz, so had to carefully time the replacement with the wagon as cover. Tftc.

Was just about to give up on this one when we googled the clue. Then we found it in the 5th place we looked!! Would have saved a lot of time if we had prepared for this one before hand. Thanks.

Travelling with Geogran1937 and Nom234. Armed with the solution to the hint, we quite quickly sorted this one this time. TFTC.

With Nom234 and dgfb33 amid smoke from rubbish fire nearby.

Out for a drive with dgfb33 and Geogran1937... We stood around trying not to look too suspicious to the man across the road who was out the front burning off a pile of rubbish.. We coolly and calmly stood there.. assessed the possibilities for a while... and after only a sneaky move or three had the cache in hand and log signed. Mind you, the bloke across the road probably knows all about it and our stealth could have been an amusing waste of time. Thanks for the cache.

Didn't know the answer to the clue and couldn't expand the search due to a gentleman mowing his lawn across the road.

Found on the way to the Grampians
TFTC

Haha 1st look.... unbelievable..... very interesting TFTC

Sully1 and I made a long detour to get to the mega in Murray Bridge via Mildura, so this was one of the caches on day 1 for us. We got really lucky here and found it in about the third item we looked at. Funny hint too, thanks tigersden

Found with Bogonghazy on our way to Oz Mega (the long way round for us). It was BH who called the magic words, after a brief short look. He got lucky to be so quick on this one today. Our previous find was the Drive in down the road, at which I have to admit I remember well. But Wagons were a bit before my time, phew....... My Thanks to tigersden for this hide.

A huge wagon. I didn't find it. Will try again next time I am in the area.

TFTC

Hi Found it at last good hide. TFTC

Find No. 485. Found with FUF009 at 9.40am

On our way to Mildura for the start of the annual Port to Port Bicycle Ride weekend, we done some caches as we went.

Tried to locate this one 12 months ago with no luck ( we were only new to caching then) but this year we weren't going to let it beat us again. With 12 months more caching experience we were able to locate this one in a matter of minutes. We walked away fairly happy with our find.
TFTC

Find #831 @ 0940H

Heading up to Mildura for the annual Port to Port Bike ride and grabbing some caches along the way with Tyred n Cranky.

Last year we had a DNF on this cache but this year we managed to find it quite quickly.

TFTC

Got the hint but not the cache. Driven away by flies.

It nearly drove me mad!!!

However I stood there, arms crossed and stared......what was that looking back at me? There it is!!!

Log signed, strange quark1 happy and all is well.

TFTC

Found!

After a DNF here a few months back I was able to decode the hint at home (pity that I couldn't do it at the time), so today I was looking in the right spots and found the cache with the GPS at 10m.

Nice easy stop. Tftc

found on a visit to a friends house

1st one on bf's bday!;)tftc!

On our way southbound towards Horsham Vic Mrs one-eyed and I stopped in this little town for a search for the cache.
However at first attempt could locate it, so back into town for a cuppa, out with the trusty laptop, and Wi-Fi , then into Google, found the clue , then back out to the location, finding the cache okay.
Left a geocoin.
TFTC

TFTC, found on our way to mildura...

Good one!
Found it with help from hint
nice hide
TFTC

Useful hint made it only a matter of time before cache was located.

Thanks tigersden - good relic and worth a stop.
SL TFTC

Found with KrayKatLady

Love the silence of this small town!
After a few minutes spotted a little something peaking out at me and there it was!
Great hide!
TFTC

Well, here I was in a small country town, and instead of checking out the nearby hotel, or the item at GZ, or whatever else there was to see, I was looking for a cache, with a hint that made no sense to me, and no way of it making sense.

I tried for a while, but came up empty handed. On getting home I checked the hint, and yep, I checked there too......

On our way back home to Merbein with a little bit more time for a good look and found it. Had a bit of a look around this spot last time and missed it. Love these old wagons would have been hard work in the olden days. tftc

Found, on our way to Mildura.
A good hide.
Thanks, tigersden

On our way to Bacchus Marsh spent a little time here but no success today . Will have to try on way home to Merbein

This was our 17th cache find in the caching run & we found it at: 15:26.
This now makes our total find count 5749.
[blue]
We've come all the way up from St Leonards to spend a week geocaching with Phetlern, and hopefully we will also meet up with Romax, and some local cachers too.
Found quite quickly, even if we didn't quite understand the hint. (Google is your friend after the fact. )
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks tigersden for the hunt today.

15:25
En route from the banks of Port Phillip to the banks of the Mighty Murray with Ian & Penny, it was important to punctuate our journey with some cache stops. We had been here without any luck a couple of years back. Penny was on the money today and we were quickly on the road again.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt tigersden.

I had to google the answer for the hint for this one. TFTC

Not where we expected...found quickly after reading hint though

Found a month ago but forgot to post log. Was with brother (neppatez)

Took a nice drive through the town and found this little guy

Heading to Mildura with FUF009 and we planned on getting some caches along the way.
Spent some time looking around for this one but guess we weren't looking in the right spot as we did not locate the cache. Three sets of eyes just wasn't good enough this time. Had to stop looking as we had to keep going on our way. Sad to say we have to log it as a DNF.

Out with Tyred n Cranky

On our way up to Mildura we planned on getting some caches along the way.

Unfortunatly I have to log a DNF. as 3 sets of eyes could not locate the cache and with time against us we had to walk away from this one.

what a great old wagon, co ords were running me around but soon located cache. tftc

Catching up with some very old logs. Found while out with Happy Feet and Snap Happy, signed as Nacho92. TFTC.

Sorry for the late lost log. Found while on family holiday in Mildura. Thanks tigersden.

Nice wagon. Thanks for the cache, a little hunting before this one turned up.

Searched around for this one but soon came up with the goods, found in the company of Moosetash and with geoson, nice old wagon, TFTC

We grabbed this on dusk - we had a quick look another day - today the caching king had it before I'd even taken the other kids out of the car. Thanks for the cache.

I've had fun hunting for and finding this cache, It never ceases to amaze me how the CO in the first instance comes up with the idea for placing a cache at this location. After signing the log and then replacing the cache, another find becons me. Thanks tigersden for the cache.

great old wagon. Clever hide. All well with cache. TFTC

We tried this one southbound a couple of months ago with no luck, but on our way north today it was an easy find. Not being movie buffs the clue meant nothing last time but a google search helped us to know where to look this time. An interesting relic and a good place to stretch the legs. SL TFTC

Took some time to find this one very cleaver hide lots of cars today made it a bit of a challenge

Found with geo child on our way home after completing the Wandering hero's series. We are trying to fit in as many caches as we can on the way home to Wonthaggi. Made a quick find here with the use of a very handy clue. TFTC tigersden took a couple of pics of wagon and geochild and it was off to the next one.

Found with friends nepatez em&fluff took nothing left nothing good hide spot difficult to find at night

Tough find seeing as its a micro and we decided to look at night lol and so many places to hide but with the help of a clever clue, it was soon discovered. Found with cha cha and em&fluff

This one we didn't find on our way to Ouyen. So many places to hide, but remained undetected for us.
cloudglider

Found whilst on my way to Mildura for the Ulysses agm event. tftc.
Cv.

Found this on way home to horsham with HALOJIZE tools while buy we got it.... Sneaky hide...

Great hide, took us a little bit but finally found it with the great hint. SL TFTC

tftc

Yeah nice spot nice pub tftc sl

tnlnsl tftc

Found on a hot day on our way to tassie. Clue meant nothing to us. But we got there in the end. tftc

YES!!! Found it! Really tricky, deciphered the clue and looked everywhere. After a good 10 mins looking,we got it.
TFTC tigersden!

Found at 11:41 by Eanieja as I sat pondering the likely hide. After all the DNF's I had expected a long visit, but my time was cut short by the shout of " There it is" I hate that. Hint was spot on. Good example of a wagon from a time past. Thanks Tigersden for bringing us to the area.

Found at 11.41 on a morning of quick geocaching with Geobrother, daughter and Geogran, while visiting the Mallee, thanks again tigersden

We looked and looked obviously in the wrong place or it's missing. Great place for a rest before the long trek back to Mildura

Suscoe. Arrived here and made a quick find thank goodness.
We couldn't help but feel sad about these towns fading away.
Signed the log and on our way.
Thanks again to tigers den for making us stop here!

Not to be found by us today. Decided not to buy the pub. TFTH Garnets

not to be found by us today. TFTH Garnets

We had a fairly good look here but had no luck today. We rang a friend and got a good hint but still came up empty handed.
We hope it was just us missing it.
Thanks anyway tigersden for the cache

#1845 We had travelled past here at Easter this year but amazingly the local constabulary had set up a breathliser up the road. We thought that it would be a little suss to park up the road so we continued on. Back today and there was no one in sight but a huge For Sale sign propped next to the POI for the pub up the road. We were expecting to be here for quite some time but we were lucky today and had the cache in hand relatively quickly. TNLN our thanks to tigersden for highlighting this area.

I had a good look, but couldn't find it. Oh well, it's a nice spot anyway.

TFTC

13:00
On our way from Murrayville to Bendigo. We searched all the likely spots and then used the hint without success. Phone A Friend confirmed we were searching in the correct spot. Either we were having a bad day, it's been mugglled, or perhaps it's moved closer to Culgoa ! We'll watch and wait and have another look when next in the area.

We called in here on the way to Broken Hill with no luck but on the return trip we found it the hint was no help to us

We were disappointed not to find this one when everyone else seemed to be able to. Muggles across the road was servicing his airconditioner and watching our movements, so we gave up looking.

Locusts everywhere, oh so many locusts, and did we mention the locusts!
In Mildura you can buy a pizza with locusts on it.
I accidently put my hand on the ground to brace myself while leaning forward to retrieve the cache and...strewth...I felt like a complete idiot as I pulled out 3 three-corner-jacks from my hand, ah the joys of caching! TFTC

Did a couple of rounds of the wagon before finding the cache. Nice hide and quite a well preserved wagon too! Thanks for the cache.

Found on our way home from our Oz Mega adventure. A good place to stop and stretch our legs.

Being involved in the grain storage industry, we were interested in seeing what looked like a former means of carrying grain - a bit different than what we see today. Thank you for putting the cache here to encourage us to stop and have a look. We left a pathtag.

[red]Silver for me[/red] Excellent hide spot - almost fool me... SL. Thanks tigersden for organising the cache and hunt.

4.15pm
Found by Roma and Max.
This is the furtherest north for us today as we now intend to return for another look for your Lake Boga hide.
Thank you again tigersden, and in particular for your hint, which narrowed the search possibilities significantly.
Romax.
