Inglewood's Old Reservoir Inglewood, Victoria, Australia
By billywillysillydilly on 21-Feb-10. Waypoint GC246D4

Sound like only a scrap bit of paper is remaining. Not much of a cache. Archived.

Found a lid, toy and a sheet of paper with logs on it.
Should be checked on by the owner sometime soon
Found on Sunday on the back from the events at Wedderburn.
Thank yo for the hide

Found on the way back to Bendigo picking up a few caches along the way.
Found with gwd.aussie and Megs_q
Needs a new container
Thanks

Found with SQAU and GWD.Aussie on our way home from the wedderburn even TFTC

Easy find with the Lexton girls!

Gold gold gold

Like other caches in the area I believe this has disappeared. However somebody threw down a piece of paper which will surely disintegrate this winter, so a replacement container will be required. We found a bit of plastic to help waterproof in the meantime and covered rocks over the top. We enjoyed the walk in, only to find out you could drive right up close to GZ! Never mind. My friend (working in the water industry) enjoyed the area.

Sadly it appears that this has been muggled - all that was located in the immediate vacinity was 2 pages of the log book and a motorbike toy.

Nice location of a find.

Needs new log book

Out for a caching toward north-west from Bendigo for the day.
Thanks for bring me here and cache.

Nice drive around a vanishing reservoir.

I am well behind on logging caches, attempting to catch up.
Apologies to CO's for not logging specifics about their cache.
We certainly appreciate all the effort cachers go to hide and maintain their caches.

A couple of Events in St Arnaud. A heap of new caches. Good caching friends both old and new. Recipe for a great day.

Having driven through town many times but always being too rushed to stop I decided stuff the late hour, tonight's the night. A short drive through the scrub right to GZ for a quick find and one of three for this flying visit through town.

Thank you for the cache billywillysillydilly.

#3093rd @ 2225hrs.

Aespl found it with Geoeeore

Aespl found it with Geoeeore

Thanks also found a lovely lizard!!

After a long drive and lunch at a stinky chicken farm thought best way to end the day was some fresh air. TFTC. GeoEeyore & AESPL

Didn't know this was here! Be a great place for a break. Has a wooden table and chairs to sit and ponder close by. TFTC was easy to find!

Nice easy one for a mice day caching! TFTC! Lovely spot. Found with TarmacDT

Found the big box easy on way back from the caves weekend.

Found with bogonghazy on a day out around the area. We had the GeoPrado this trip (thank goodness), so we decided to drive right to GZ. The back wheels were a slippin a bit on the way in to here. We spotted and logged the cache, continued on to turn around at the loop just below and then proceeded to do a bit more slippin' on the way out. It has rained pretty much non stop for the last 18 hours.
Thanks billy, Cheers, Leese.

Another run in the rain with Sully1 who managed to slip and slide in perfect control here today. I jumped out and logged while she did and expert U turn.
Thanks again bwsd for another cache here

Found this cache today in my attempt to get 50 caches in one day that were at least 1km apart. I managed to collect 36 caches and was really pleased with that effort but need to improve my game to achieve the magic #50. Had a nice easy walk to this one - decided not to walk across the dam itself but to go around - though I was slipping and sliding around in the mud a bit. Signed log but then took the scenic way back again and almost got lost a couple of times. I was panicking a bit that I actually would get lost but found the car and continued on my way!

Thanks for the cache billywillysillydilly.

Found on our way to Wedderburn for the annual "Day out in Wedderburn" event.

This was another cache we had tried for before but the track in was muddy and we only had a 2WD vehicle. This time around in an SUV with diff locks we thought we would give it a go. Despite looking very soft the track proved an easy drive and we soon arrived at the required destination where we made an easy find. we had a quick explore before heading back to the car to keep on going.

All OK at this one. There's some nice stone wall work nearby. There was some water in the reservoir and evidence of pumping to tankers.

Quick find
Tftc! !!

Initially drove down the wrong road. Then re- routed to find a quick, easy cache.

Delightful walking track and interesting information.

Nice walk to cache. TFTC

Thanks to FUF009 for making me aware that the cache needed maintenance. There's a brand new cache, swaps and log for the next finders.

Find # 606 @1058H

Parked on the opposite side of the resevoir and legged it to GZ. it was a nice stroll over there. but was supprised to find the cache and goodies all over the place. Have sent email to CO to let them know about this cache.

Found 14:05, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks billywillysillydilly.

Headed out to check on the heroes series and managed to get a few others this being one of them. .
Nice work thanks to billywillysillydilly.

nice walk along the wall

Nice track in to dam
TFTC

Love it

Our 6th find on the way home from Wedderburn. We got the right track in this time for a change. Easy find. Cache wasn't really well covered when we found it so we covered it more when we replaced it.
TNLN SL TFTC

So started a weekend away that took in just over 100 caches, including 4 First to Finds, about 1000 days towards the Unloved Cache Challenge (GC3KWWQ) and some really fun adventures both solo and with new and old friends, topped off with a great well attended event cache at Wedderburn.. (with yummy food too) Thanks to all the various cache owners along the way and my apologies upfront for the copy / paste style logging of those 100 odd caches.. Some of the Caches hadn't been found for between 6months and 18months which added greatly to my 15years required for GC3KWWQ.. Thanks..

Many of the caches were a blur and thus there isn't too much I can add from a single cache log point of view, my apologies to the cache owners who each have put a lot of effort into their respective hides..

I stayed overnight in my swag not too far from these caches.. A nice nights sleep was had which left me good to go early the next morning..
Find #2548

The race track was unexpected on the way into the cache. Tide is out a bit on the reservoir, but it still looks good. A quick find on our way out.
Thanks, Robmc.

Some advice - best to enter from track at Botanical Gardens
Great spot once we managed to get into GZ from goodness knows where.
Sun was shining, reflections off the water - stunning. Oh yeah, cache. SLTNLN TFTC

What a great spot! Really liked the dried up spillway, must have been built a loooong time ago. TFTC TNLN

I came at the reservoir from the back way, via the mine road.

Nice spot. Thanks for the info. sheet. We were so hot after walking on Mount Korong that a swim would have been lovely.

Co-ords spot on. Access was interesting as the lake is definitetly full. Even the picnic area is underwater. Great to see so much water about. TFTC

Beautiful place. Interesting history, loved it.

No9... Found.Ching. 8m though.

Another great hide on our geo`adventure around inglewood TFTC

Approaching dusk when after a short walk came across this well hidden cache near the old reservoir. Plenty of birdlife about at this time of the evening and no shooters, though if we'd not found this one we'd need some serious target practice at cache finding. Enjoyed this one for the delightful and easy walk in a very peaceful location. I wonder is there any fish in the waters as it sems an OK spot to fish? With 'The Comrades'. Thank you to 'billywillysillydilly' for the cache and its lovely location. TNLN.

On a roll now TL SL

Early morning, the sound of horses working on the track. What a beautiful day for a cache. Co-ordinates spot on, walked straight to it. TFTC SL Left hand, took frog. By the way, the Picnic Table is still under water from the floods earlier in the year. Thanks for the History, Billywillysillydilly.

Find #2 It's only getting better.

We come on the wet and narrow track. We couldn't resist the temptation so we took a lap of the track... don't blame me, blame whoever left the gate open!

Out caching this afternoon with Blacklegend as haveanez had just parted company with us. Had a toilet stop at the little parking area on the other side of the reservoir before heading across for the find. Drove onto the race track before realising what it was and we backed out and back onto the dirt track that followed it around. Kids stayed in the car and a quick find was made and the log signed. Thanks for the hide.
Found while in the area attending the Pre-Easter event near Bendigo over the weekend with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) and team Haveanez; and during a five day caching blitz with my two boys (Tyler and Cooper) which eventually took us through the Victorian Goldfields, up to the Murray River in Tocumwal and back down through Wangaratta.

Found on a fantastic three days caching with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and Team Haveanez. The trip included attending the Pre Easter Event 2011 event. Had three of my kiddies with me including my older daughter Jacqueline, 6yo Jasmine and my 4yo boy James. The trip took us through a tour of the Victorian Goldfields and then back up to my place at Tocumwal. One of around 110 finds for the trip.

As per Quasar3671's log. Quick find with kids in the car. TFTC.

15:05
We were apprehensive about our approach to this cache location but we were able to turn it into a pprass type drive-by. The recent abundance of H2O is certainly evidenced here.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt billywillysillydilly.

Easy find. Plenty of water looks good.

5th find of the day, and 2765th total find at 12:52.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stroll around the walking track.

Thanks billywillysillydilly for the cache

T'would be a great spot for a picnic... were the picnic table not up to its knees in water! The cache was a little waterlogged as well, but log and history pages nice and dry. We dried the rest out as much as possible. Thanks Bill, we'll return to Inglewood another day for a few more of your caches!

22/09/2011 - Log originally logged with team Swampgum. Duplicated due to team split.

We found this cache 11:00am as the 7th of 21 on route from Melbourne to Renmark. Interesting to see the dam but also interested to find the harness track as well. Thanks from D, HA and A B-A.

After reading the name, and seeing the GPX map, I was still surprised to see that lake there! Doh! A nice walk and easy find, thanks.

We found the right track in....after tryng 2 others!
This is a nice little spot for a picnic or to bring the pooches for a walk.
Thanks for bringing us here for a quick find. We were suprised to see the trotting track here too!
TNLN SL.

Found by Mary & David at 1115. Looks as if we managed to find the short way in. Surprised but delighted to see so much water. The sun was out too, so we could start removing some layers. One muggle car there when we arrived, but the muggle and his dog soon set of on a walk, so our search was uninterrupted and short. Our thanks once again to billywillysillydilly.

Lovely quiet spot, nice newish tables, too. Loved the stonework in the channels. Thanks Billy, another nice bit of Inglewood.

1st for the day in the company of n.s.e.w.where?
Out for the day detecting but the roads in and around the area are too wet to get the cars in so we decided to to some of the caches around town.
SL TNLN
Thanks

Found this one with acjgrant.
Too cold for a swim today maybe next time.

It was a quick walk tonight as it was getting dark, but would be a great spot to visit another day.

Found with the family.
Thanks

9th of our mothers day tour to clean up the new caches published in Inglewood. Got 15 including two new ones in Bendigo Interesting spot TNLN SL
Kids walked along the concrete wall and jumped across to next bit, found cache quickly what a lovely walk in. Thanks

Rated: for Overall Experience

Another spot that will detail things of days gone by.

Thanks for another good cache Bill, you sure do pick some good areas.

It wasn't all that far from the last cache at the lookout so we parked and walked in from the main road.
Nice walk along the reservoir wall.

A lovely stroll along the bank to the cache. Still lots of infrastructure here. A lookout (not a diving platform!), a bin and a set of stairs.
Still we were the only ones enjoying the facilities this morning.
TFTC.

Found this one in the company of a couple of even older blokes who I met on the track. One of these blokes ( the one with the wet labrador the size of a Kenworth ), seemed keen to know all about Geocaching, so maybe a converted muggle. Took small ball and left a bigger one. Thanks billywillysillydilly for a very interesting walk in the bush.

Found this with the Creels had to wait as there were people looking at us.

what a nice place thanks

Our 5th find of the day and another nice wander through the bush. The geotwins were with us and T1 was feeling a bit fatigued so we stayed in the car while T2 went off with Crazy Paul like Indiana Jones and found the 'treasure!' Thanks for providing us with an entertaining afternoon.
~ Crazy Creels.

3rd of 8 for the day and another interesting site to visit. Another little swap made by JNR who is now keen to get all the info about local history. SL TFTC

Found by Bevfre 1.30pm Took a bit to find the way into here TN LN SL Thank You On your tour of Inglrwood. billy willy silly dilly

Continuing our road trip after attendance at the Wagga Mega event, one of quite a few found during the tour.
TFTC

A trick spot to access in the dark.

Nice wee walk in. Easy find. Cheers Gav [5493]

Walked about 300m. Very curious finding ruins in the middle of nowhere. T4TC, M@

Thanks for information about history - worth to collect. SL. Thanks billywillysillydilly for organising the cache and hunt.

We have been on the other side for another cache but hadn't realised there was a trotting track around it. The dam is looking great after the rain. Again a nicely concealed cache. TFTC

I loved the history notes in these caches, thankyou to billywillysillydilly TURPS2 found it 10 03 10 at 1700hrs. This res served both Inglewood and Bridgewater, the water was pumped from the Loddon river at night, which raised the water pressure in Bridgewater during pumping.

Drove into GZ and was amazed to see the Inglewood Harness Racing Club track on the way in. Cache was seen from the car so I'd call it a drive by but I guess others wouldn't. Log was signed and no swaps made. TFTC

Found at 0745. Parked as close as we could a then ventured on foot a short distance to the cache. Rubik and I were discussing the history of the place, and old foundations certainly give you an indication of what the area was like.

Thanks.

We think that we approached this one from the wrong side but as we walked along the edge of the embankment and got close to gz we spotted another car park much closer but this way gave us a chance to have a look at the old works in the area and also after finding the cache time to read the information sheet on the way back to the car and get a further insight into the tough times that these early settlers had to endure,
Thanks once more for the cache, the location and the history

Logging this 2 days later I can see that Team Crackers found the same road in we did. The 200m walk was quite pleasant and we could see the old foundations. MV spotted the hide here as his mojo was clearly working this morning.

Many thanks for showing us this beautiful area,

R - B

A nice easy quick drive by, just the ones we like to do.

A well placed cache that has been planned and executed like a veteran cacher would, love the added history lesson, we were considering hitting this area ourselves due to the loss of the couple here, you are doing an excelent job.

Found by Roma and Max.
As with our previous find this evening good numbers had us searching very close to our find.
We signed the log and thank you again billywillysillydilly for another good hide.
