Needs a check - lots of DNf's

Nothing found here.

Searched long and hard and nothing may need to be checked by owner

Didn't find it either - sorry

Had a good look too and came up empty handed. Thanks for bringing us here. Cool little village

Had a long lool but i think this one is gone

Looked under the drop slab
Hit. Found nothing. Think it's been muffled.

Looked for a while and couldn't find it.

Creepy tree

What a gorgeous collection of old buildings. Thank you for bringing us here. I think you might need to do some maintenance, as a new log is needed here. TFTC

History

I love history, and this little spot was well worth stopping at.

Day 2: Whilst on a road trip from Adelaide to Heathcote, today's task was to complete the Dad's Mt. Disappointment Driving Lessons power trail, reach my 1000th caching milestone with friends and round off the day by attending a dinner event where we were staying. It was an early start but we found heaps of caches, ate wholesome and delicious food, drank some amazing wine, engaged in scintillating conversations - there was plenty of laughter and lots of fun!! [^]

PLEASE NOTE: given the size of our group and our time constraints, in some logs we just put our caching initials (eg. GL).

Thanks for the cache

Found on a 3 days tour of Victoria.

The team had a great time finding all but 5 of the caches we attempted.

A great time was had by us and thanks to all who placed caches/

Apologies for the generic logs.


TFTC

Thanks for a fun cache guys. Love your work. We signed the logbook.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

The purpose of this weekend's mission across the border was for a driving lesson on Mt Difficult with dad and today was the day [^]
The group rose early, made our way first to the oldest cache in Vic. and gathered a few more smileys in the area before gathering at cache number 1 of this fun series, and off for a very pretty drive inthe forest.
Definately a rewarding way to spend a day
Cheers and thanks for this find

Interesting place to visit! Now we need a coffee and and a bite before we continue the drive to Melbourne.

Thanks for bringing us here!

Fogg & Consortin

Found whilst passing through. Needs a. New log and someone to care about it.

A long weekend, what does that mean? Well GEOCACHING of course

Plans were in place to get out this long weekend with one party of the FurfacesLL and head towards Albury. We had organised a weekend of caching with Coruze which included puzzle collections (Albury/Wodonga) and power trail targeting (Mt Disappointment) and what ever little town we can invade along the way.

Alot happened this weekend, lots of caches, lots of laughter, many km's, long days and long nights. We all walked away battered and bruised after this weekend but it was worth it and would do it again in a heart beat lol

We had finished the powertrail on Mt Disappointment, checked into the Motel in Broadford, we were all battered and bruised but we decided to kick on for a little longer. We went and had some dinner and continued our night a little more. Cool location with some interesting history. Cache located quickly signed and replaced.

Thanks broadfordscouts for the placement of this cache[^]

Found It.....We where passing through here on the way home from cleaning up the Mount Difficult driving trail and needed a icecream to celebrate so after stopping and getting one we looked at the map and there was one in walking distance (Not that i needed to walk anymore) we strolled down and a short search soon had us signing the log. Thanks broadfordscouts for bringing us here

First ones in Broadford for this trip. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad carer Lis Brown on a journey from Shepparton Vic to Geelong Vic then Coolah and Port Stephens in NSW and back to Shepparton before going to Tasmania.

Found with Wozzle68 on our way home from an awesome weekend away at the Buller Getaway event. A nice excuse to stop and stretch the legs and appreciate a bit of history at the same time. TFTC broadfordscouts.

Find number 92 for the day. Enjoyed a very interesting walk around these cabins, reading a bit of history, and even got to find a cache here as well - doesn't get any better! Thanks broadfordscouts for placing this neat little hide.

Tftc

Broadford was our last stop for the day, and while everyone was having a stretch of their legs Happy pants and I wandered over to grab the hide. I feel like we've been here before, but didn't find anything. Thanks for bringing us back and for the hide.

Managed a nice quick find this afternoon after taking a break across the road. The cache was soon located after a brief search, thanks broadfordscouts for the hide and for highlighting this area.

Easy find
TFTC

Sorry for late log. My Parents lived in this town a very long time ago, so today was an exploration day. TFTC

Found with carkisser .......
Thank you for the hide ......

Sando joined me in Wandong for a few hours and we decided to do a handful of caches. 8 finds would have us at 950, very close to cracking the 1000, so it was hoped we'd do 8. Given that poor JSando has worked in the sun all day down the peninsula, then gone to Airport West for night school, I was super surprised he came up tonight and almost checked his temperature when he agreed we'd go caching lol

After trying one up the road that'd been muggled we headed down here. I lived in Broadford 20+ years ago and at the time my Uncle was running the pub so I spent a lot of my misspent early 20's across the road from this cache lol. Quick find. Our fifth for the night. TFTC

Loom bands from my daughter - enjoy!!!

Nice quick find after a nice meal at the pub across the road. Tftc

Valentine's Day find by Josh and Stacey Thanks Scouts Broadford!

Easy Cache

Returning home to Adelaide from visiting rellies in Melbourne and this is one of the find and signed we made.
Quick easy find, thanks.
We had stopped here for a cuppa.

#207. A nice little piece of history! Found with doamono and the geobaby. Tftc!

Right in the middle of town but enough cover for a quick find. 4th find for the day. With myshell22. TFTC.

Easy find

Cute little place tftc

I had the day off so with the good weather I decided to plan a road trip out to find Melbourne's First cache and pick up as many others as I could along the way.

After making the historical find I headed into Broadford on my way back to look for the range of caches hidden there as well. I had to wait out a couple who had just decided to park nearby here. Once they were otherwise engaged I was able to quickly duck in and grab the cache. Interesting old buildings at GZ, thanks for the cache broadfordscouts.

I have decided to start the long quest of doing a second round of the P81 difficulty terrain grid so I went for a drive to get a specific D1/T4 cache up the hume highway to Broadford then meandered my way back home stopping off for a few on the way home.
I arrived and there was one car here but luckily no one in it so I parked right nearby and with nice accurate coordinates I peeked under and spotted it, made the grab, signed the log and headed off.
Thanks broadfordscouts for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Well the MEGA geo getaway had come to a close so it was time for me to head back to the CAN

Nabbed this one on the way back for a quick find and a stretch of the legs Interesting and typically Australian old colonial buildings at this spot

Thanks for the hide, broadfordscouts

Found log to follow

On the way to the airport after finding Melbourne's 1st we stopped at Broadford for a bite to eat. This one wasn't too far away so I was given a leave pass to go and make the grab.

As I arrived at GZ I had a quick find thanks to the hint. The nearby muggle having some lunch in his truck under a tree was none the wiser.

broadfordscouts I found your cache at 12:45pm, this was the 3rd of 4 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2482. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Find #6 of 40 on my Mega Melbourne week - not a big total, but it turned out to be a fun & sociable time. After a couple of days walking in Albury I left late morning to drive on to Kilmore. This cache was found at 3:45:00 PM. I think the cache may have shrunk over time as it would be a squeeze to fit in too many scout badges.

TFTC broadfordscouts - great to have some caches close to the road to break my journey & stop me falling asleep!

#7398 Found and Logged at 4:57:00 PM
One of 21 caches for the day with Roostaman on our way ro Melbourne for the megga
What a top spot overlooking all the hills for the first of many in Victoria
Thanks for the cache broadfordscouts

Found it

Found it in a lovely spot of history, tnln TFTC.

Good find! Didn't take anything though!

This was a pretty cool part of town but I'm glad we don't live in a hut like these! Tftc

These are awesome old houses. Tftc

A great recreation of the old huts. Tftc

Another nice easy find in an interesting area. The cache has been hidden a bit more than what it was (it was quite exposed). Tftc

Found Saturday 12/9/15 while take a drive

Fun with friends.

TFTC First time We have ever stopped to see these buildiings so close to where we live - Cache needs new log. There are no longer any scout badges to swap... But we did swap a Kangaroo for a lovely handmade item by Misschief18 (Thankyou)

TEAM HUSTLER

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Love to explore old buildings. I have never stopped here before. Cache was easily located. Left a pink butterfly and a friendship braid. TFTC

On the way to Numurkah for a week of caching with misschief18 and Bentley TB and just had to do some sighting and, of course, caching along the way. A nice easy find in a quiet part of town

Cache zombified.
Quick find on the way through the area. Interesting houses! Cache in good order.
Tftc from ZombieCats.

Found it out in the opening please make sure it is hidden from muggles

Out today enjoying the outskirts of Melbourne. Stopped in for lunch at the Broadford Hotel, and as we had just reached our range of caches uploaded to my GPS, I thought I would pull out my phone and see if there were any caches close, which there was. After lunch we crossed the road but the compass on the phone app was all over the place. Luckily the hint was pretty specific and it was not long before the cache was in hand.

Thanks for the cache broadfordscouts.

The log book is full and has been continued on scraps of paper supplied by various geocachers. It really does need replacing.
Cheers.

A quick pick up while stopping to use the facilities across the road. We had a scouting based TB on board that we have loved to leave here, but sadly it wouldn't fit in the container. Thanks for the cache.

Quickly found with aussie fun seakers while in Broadford.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Quickly found with little blue wren while in Broadford to pick up a couple caches.
Signe log and replaced. TFTC.

Taking friend (and some TBs needing a logged visit) on scenic tour and pointing out where I had previously found caches.

Interesting huts. It was already dark when we got there so it was not possible to explore the place more closely. The cache was found quickly though. TFTC

TFTC!
On our way home from dropping RedLeader&Fox2 at the airport, we thought we should grab some more caches....this was one of them.
Found with Shellumbus.

Grabbing a few while in the area with Indianagleeson TFTC

Lots of nice interesting things here to check out and a good place to stretch the legs before continuing on to the border

Really easy find

After visiting the Organ Pipes National Park today, we were wondering what to do with the rest of the day. We originally were going to have some lunch elsewhere but missed the turn and we are glad we did. We had never been to Broadford before and there was an Easter event on. The Na'wal kiddies had fun at the event, we had some Easter eggs and a great coffee. We searched for this one before the event and after the GPSr settled, I saw the likely spot. Loved the buildings here. Stamped and returned as found.

[blue]Thanks for this cache hide, Broadford Scouts. [^] Log and container in good condition TNLN [/blue]

Found it!! Awesome - thank you scouts!

Thanks broadfordscouts for this cache in this interesting historical setting! The cache could use some cleaning out - it's stuffed with old logs

quick easy find around an interesting area. TFTC

Quick easy find

My Cycling group, Whittlesea BUG scheduled a ride from Tallarook to Yea and back along the Rail Trail, so Grawil and I decided to also make it a caching run. 22 caches found on a lovely day. 7/22
Thank you for the Cache, it puts an extra interest into the day.

With Whittlesea BUG riding from Tallarook to Yea, Ron.haha and I decided to team up and and grab a couple of caches.
We got a found a few on the way up to Tallarook. One on the ride to Yea. Suffered a couple of punctures had a Pub meal in Yea and said goodbye to the group and cached back to the car with another couple of caches driving back to Melb.
A really enjoyable day
Thanks broadfordscouts for the cache

I've driven past this spot many times and never bothered to stop. My thanks to the Broadford scouts for giving me an excuse to drop by! Such a great area with a fantastic history. The cache was quickly found and replaced, all in good order.
The cache also gave me the chance to check out the large boiler nearby, I've always wondered what it is. Might be the subject of a future Team Ninja cache, methinks.
TFTC!

Nice hide. TNLN TFTC.

Found while making a small short stop and this was the nearest to grab. Cache was in full view but has now been hidden a little better

[:(!] On our way home we pick up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walk in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and it was quickly in hand.

I like it

Another one off the list

I loved the little jail these buildings were beautiful and the big silver ball near by I had no clue what it was until I read the plaque. Never heard of a straw boiler before haha thanks for the cache

TFTC! Fancy hair clip in for shoe pin out.

1996CF ~ Visiting from the UK to Australia for awhile to see family, now back in the UK. Catching up on my logging, sorry for the delay CO's. ~ The Lad.

Found cache with my Niece 'Loopygirl105', who is 8 years old, and also with her parents at times, who I'm trying to teach how to cache!

It was going to be a long day, especially as I'm ill and due to be catching a plane tomorrow, but the aim was to finish the day with the Oldest Geocache in Victoria under our belts, and it would be my 2000th Cache find.

Drive by this one, as I wanted to grab some on route to the make sure I hit 1999th cache before Melbourne's First.

Quick, Easy Find, signed and on we went to next one near park.

TFTC.

these buildings are interesting, preserving history from the times gone by. soon had duties done and on our way. TFTC

9083 + 1014 = 10097. Found during day 2 of the Windmill run down to Melbourne and back with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n.

A casual discussion a few months ago led to the planning and execution of this road trip down to Melbourne and back for various Windmill and other caches. After grabbing the last of the required windmill info and some caches around Woodlands we started heading north towards home.

We stopped at Broadford as there was a nice collection of caches here. This one was a nice quick find at GZ by LuckyL10n. Signed, returned and we were off to the next one !

Thanks broadfordscouts !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

#10:45; Day 2 of the great Sol de lune, fitzy_1965 and LuckyL10n road trip from Canberra to Melbourne and return was off to an early start so we could gather the last of the information we needed for the two Great Aussie Icon Hunt multis, which had inspired this trip. The final pieces of information to hand, we collected a few caches around Bulla, then it was off home again along the Hume Highway.

We decided to take a detour into Broadford to collect a few of the local caches. The local CFA had our planned stop occupied, so we headed further up the hill to grab this one. The Iphone led me on a tour of the buildings before finally getting me to GZ for a quick find. Nice little spot and good to see some of the local history, a favorite I think! TFTC broadfordscouts
