Anyone for Bingo? Flora Hill, Victoria, Australia
By Geogetters on 10-May-10. Waypoint GC289T7

Cup of tea! The oldies love bingo at work! I knew where to look once I spotted GZ! TFTC!

BINGO. Such fun to play and great to find a cache at GZ. The track in is being overtaken by the modern estate roads but a great bit of bush here now. Thanks for the fun

I freely admit, to not being a natural born puzzler. This is one of the few in the series that I could actually solve Looks like another big development going in, not too far from here. I had planned to bring my mtb today but a seized towbar pin meant I couldn't swap from towing to bike rack draw bars so I'm trying to dodge showers on foot. I think it was meant to be - I found a new friend in a very timid beagle. After a good 5 minutes he didn't want to leave me Many thanks for the puzzle series & cache

Nothing needed to be done as cache still there!!!!

It was never missing, previous person had not solved the puzzle and was looking at the location of the posted coords.

There is a new(ish) sign at the location and from the coordinates it seems to have been on the sign. I would suggest that the container might be missing

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A second dnf on this cache

Bingo bango. Out and about on trusty treadles having a great time exploring the fab GBNP - love the iron barks and carpets of wildflowers…then there’s the spiders…webs across tracks deter the arachnophobe - but there is a nicer way - creeping under them so their hard work is not destroyed. Reminders of all those ‘childhood games’ played about this time of year when not racing around outside was fun. TFTC and the info!

Took even longer to work out the approach here but found my way in , found a better way out and job is done.
Thanks again

After finishing up data collection at the uni for the day I thought I'd get this one on the way home. It was such a nice area. I would have loved playing here as a kid. The cache was in good condition (though I needed to move a little spider friend who also found it). Thanks for this one!

Nice quick find for us today!

A quick find on the way through to fill a calendar day.
Solved the puzzle some months (years) ago.
TFTC and puzzle. SL

Enjoyed this puzzle and a nice walk with a lovely view once at location. TFTC

A family caching day in Bendigo with dalerious and Cybergran V and the weather could not have been better. We had a very successful day, on the whole signing logs in Mystery caches that we had in our solved list, just waiting for the right slot in the calendar that wasn't already filled with some other wild adventure, which is often the case for dalerious and I .

Had a ball researching this one. The terminology for this age old game is endless.

Thank you Geogetters for a wonderful series which I enjoyed solving.

Thank you for the puzzle and hide. Great view from here too.

Thank you once again for this delightful series.

It would be a beautiful view from here if it wasn’t so foggy

Nice walk. Strange that the last signature in the log was January. 4th find of the series today.

Lovely afternoon walk from home with Bogonghazy. Puzzle solved by Bogonghazy. Easy find. Thank you for the cache, lovely view.
Hand sanitizer and own stamp used due to COVID-19.

Found today walking from LittleBoss's home in our 2hr exercise limit.
We took and used hand sanitiser before touching each cache, and used our own stamp.
Thanks for these puzzles, some of the very few that I can work out.
This was a nice little spot with the dam below, thanks for bringing us here

Yay I finally worked out a puzzle cache, good fun little puzzle and nice scenic view for the cache. Thank you very much, Garth

Found. Love these puzzles. TFTC.

Find No. 3186. Found at 1.45pm.

A day trip to Bendigo with Geodog Penny on board, to wander around finding caches here and there and this is seven of 16 that we found for the day.

We managed to do a few of the games puzzles plus a few others in between. We started in the area behind Lansell Plaza and finished out at White Hills.

We enjoyed our day wandering around seeing parts of Bendigo we have never seen before.

Penny is enjoying herself today with all these bush walks she is getting. Cache found, log signed and off we went to the next one on our list.

I have played bingo a few times and recognised a couple of the phrases, but then had to rely on good old google to get the rest of the information required.

We drove as close as possible to GZ and with spot on coordinates, made a nice quick find.

Thank you Geogetters. Loving these puzzles in this series.

Great hiding spot.
Out caching with Beaker.

Found with Cybergran V and her MuggleHubby at Onedozen:Duck&dive.

Parking the car as close as we could, it was a short wander to GZ and a bit of a view.
It wasnt long until..... Beano!
Cache in hand.

TFTC Geogetters, spot on puzzle coords led straight to your clean dry cache signed and returned in good condition. [^]

Every time we come to Bendigo We try to get one of the Anyone for? mystery caches.
Today we tried unsuccessfully for Consequenses and consequentially failed, even though we confirmed that our coordinates were correct with a previous finder
So we continued on to this one instead.
All my friends play this crazy game of Bingo, I don’t, I’d rather spend the same amount of time and money geocaching.
It was no problem getting a correct set of coordinates though.
Since Muggle Hubby intrepidly navigated us here, and I supplied the coordinates, it was up to the dalerious one to find the cache and Bingo, he did, thanks to the accurate coordinates. Gee we make a good team!
Thanks Geogetters for placing and maintaining this cache.

Nice puzzle! the oney is fantastic place to walk! good catch. A colombian and his Aussies mates

TFTC

Another puzzle solved! Quick stroll in the bush and there she be!

Been watching the puzzles for a few years and finally tackled them due to isolation but just had to wait for the restrictions to lift and some nice weather. With the public holiday, the kids back to school tomorrow and the sun shining, we thought we would get out for some family time and vitamin D. Had a little fun in the 4x4 and exploring. TFTC

It took us a little while to work out which track we wanted to be on. We must have passed the same couple quite a few times. Not sure they were impressed but we eventually found where we needed to be. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

Nice spot here where some sheep look like kangaroos!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Geogetters

First puzzle geo and i got no clue on how to do it like i don’t understand where to start can someone please help

I have solved a few of these game puzzles and now need to find a few of them. Nice little walk between showers TFTC

Found at 10:31 am.
I needed an event for December to help with a challenge I am working on and the only one in Melbourne was the 31st while I was working so one in Bendigo was the only one and only a 2 hour drive each way. So that was the goal of the day.

A nice walk into this one and I was greeted by a dog muggle and his super hyper boxer dog on the way back out.
Thanks Geogetters for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Loved spending time solving the puzzle, especially when finally getting an ok from the checker! Out today to find some of the series (the ones we’ve solved anyway ), a nice view at gz, we made a quick find! Cache in good order despite not being found for so long! Was happy to give it some love in the way of a new signature! Thanks for the puzzle and the cache, earns a fav from us

Good day to explore when there was finally a day under 30° in Bendigo. Beautiful view. There is a beautiful batch of spiderlings hanging out with the cache so if you are nervous around beautiful creatures you may want to wait till they move out of home.

BINGO! Having solved this this a while ago knowing we would be coming for holidays here we looked forward to getting out and finding the cache. A nice view at gz! TFTC

A quick and easy find after solving a while ago at home. Thanks

Woohoo we are cruising around Bendigo and environs doing some caching.. Log Signed Ms+Mr KR

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Both easy puzzle and find.
Nice outlook at GZ.

We have only played Bingo about once in our lives, and that was when we were on a Cruise in the South Pacific! Google was a great help with sorting out the clues and a set of numbers was soon in hand. SL at 4.30pm Left: windmill PT #5317 TFTC Geogetters

Found with fletch _4. TFTC SL TNLN

Found with Kirs3 on a great day caching!!
Nice view even if it was smokey from burning off!
TFTC!

Yay finally got one of these - tricky caching app was sending us all over the place

#258 I hadn't really geocached ever since I came to this place. But talking with people around campus got some people interested to come find out about this hobby of mine.

I had solved the coordinates prior to telling them so we just headed off here since it was the nearest to campus. Got to the location but something seemed off. There wasn't the usual suspicious spot where you can find your tupperware so I had to do another calculation on spot and it seems that I was wrong. Thankfully I wasn't too far off so we got there soon.

Found a couple of golf balls along the way, I wonder who plays golf out here. Found the spot and immediately saw a very suspicious hiding place. TFTC!

Great to cross another one of the series off my to find list. Thanks.

Love this series of mysteries

nice walk on the edge of suburbia

Found it nice easy find after completing the puzzle enjoyed the short stroll to get to it also

Tftc

After the nearby Surfcoast BBQ event finished up we headed off to pick up the rest of our solved puzzles in the Bendigo area before having to head back to Geelong. Initially I had lucky legs as 1 but after a bit of research realised my mistake and had a nice set of coordinates.
Thanks Geogetters for the fun puzzle.

The lucky legs had us running around for a bit but we got the better of it in the end. Lovely little waterway down here!

Had a bit of trouble with lucky legs, but found it after a couple of false starts

TFTC

Solved the puzzle the other day and had a nice day driving around Bendigo picking up the caches.
TFTC

Today the geokids (aged 4 & 6) and myself headed to Bendigo to collect some mysteries caches for a challenge in Melbourne. I spent that last week solving as many as I could (mainly focusing on the games series as they were easier and more at my level - lol). A lovely walk here. Beautiful GZ. Many thanks for the cache

A nice quick find while picking up a selection of solved puzzles in the area thanks for the cache.

In Bendigo today with ST37E and Wozzle 68 to work through some of our solved puzzles. This was a nice quick find at GZ today. Thanks for placing.

Thanks for the cache, nice walk! TNLN

Came back a second time and success! Tftx. Found wit natey88

This was one of several puzzle caches that I solved a few years ago but didn't get around to finding and logging until now. A jumping GPS signal kept me busy poking around for about 5 minutes and then BINGO! TFTC!

What great fun. Took me a while to solve the puzzle.

Found @ 3.23pm all good . Signed log. TNLN thanks for a great day in the bush today. Cheers

We're not ones who like to leave a task half done so when we realised we'd missed a couple of this series yesterday we headed out this morning to rectify matters & mop them up pronto. A gremlin had sneaked into our initial calculations causing an abortive search at somewhere that was not GZ before we realised our error. Once in the right spot the hide was soon spotted. Bingo is another game we have never played, though we're fast creeping up into the right age group!

Bingo! Located after a short stroll. A ripper location. TFTC

We had the coordinates for this one for a while & today it was time to get it. After a nice stroll through the bush we had our hands on the cache, nice hide. TFTC

23:33 Yay a mystery cache on pi day! It was getting late and Iwas after a mystery cache on PI day. I sorted the local caches by difficulty and decided on this one. I had less than an hour before midnight. It was pretty straight forward so I had the answer quickly. I wasn't able to check it on my phone as the checker is hard to use that way. Got to gz and searched the obvious location and saw an obvious hide. Moments later I had the cache in hand. TFTC Geogetters. TNLN SL

Found intact.

After arriving at the cache scene, I thought this would be an easy find. Alas this was not so, will check the co ords again and return . The bush here had been burnt, we did manage to find some charred containers that may have been part of a cache, not sure though.

Suscoe's 3rd find for the morning on a cold and drizzly at times day.
A nice bit of puzzle work and a good find where we expected it to be.
Thanks to the Geogetters for placing this cache.
A nice experience both with the puzzle and the hide.

Find #1595 @ 1441H

After spending the previous week solving a large number of puzzle caches in the Bendigo area, I decided to take the day and hunt some of them down.

Not having a clue about the bingo calls I asked Tyred n Cranky if they could help me, and a big thanks as it was Mrs Tyred n Cranky that got the right numbers in the end. So for that this was on the grab list for today.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Our last day in Bendigo before heading to Horsham. The recent rainy days gave us the opportunity to solve some local puzzles. Teaming up with whitewebbs we enjoyed the challenge of solving and finding this cache. Thanks Geogetters for the cache - we appreciate the time and effort gone into creating and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Solved quite a few of this great puzzle series last night in the caravan as the rain came down. Today we were out and about with Tassie Trekkers (in the rain) locating caches. We had lots of fun solving and finding. I would even call myself a bingo expert as have played many many games, but even some of these calls I hadn't heard of. A couple of calls I joined together but got there in the end. Thanks Geogetters for all the effort put in.

# 7568 Found on the 4th leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure,
while staying at Bendigo for a few days.
Another trip around with Team Robins for a few puzzle caches and a laugh.
No sign of any muggles around and a quick find.
Thanks for the cache Geogetters,
Roostaman.

Would you believe the Wenchette is old enough to be looking at Uni courses? Open Day at LaTrobe Bendigo gave us a chance to drop off Traffic Control 1 and also find a few puzzles that were solved many moons ago. It also gave me a chance to revisit my place of learning and reminisce.

This was our first stop after a few hours spent at the Uni. We were able to drive quite close to GZ although a little more rain may have stopped us at the sealed road.

Thank you for the cache Geogetters.
#2269th @ 1349hrs and 1st of 9 for the day.

As part of our preparation for trip to Victoria, we attempted a number of puzzles. The "Anyone for ..." series attracted our attention and we were able to solve each of them before leaving Tassie. We didn't know how many we would find in and around Bendigo due to our limited time in the area, but we did managed to find some of them.

We are not fans of Bingo but we did enjoy collecting the information to solve this puzzle. Today we went looking for the cache. It was an enjoyable walk and we were able to make a quick find. The cache and it's container were in good condition. TFTC Geogetters.

Enjoyed solving this one. Tried to guess all the numbers at first not having played bingo, but needed some nudges after that to complete the puzzle.
Got confused on which way to approach GZ but once there found the well hidden cache.
Thanks again Geogetters.

Great Hide. TFTC

Logging a few ones i did weeks ago :S
Good cache

Catching up on on a few hundred missed logs
Found with bucketeer
Thanks for the hunt

Out for a drive exploring the area and decided to pick up a few solved puzzle caches on this beautiful day with perfect weather.
Missed this one on first pass still as it's still well hidden and blends in beautifully.
Thanks for the puzzle and the hunt

Found it while dodging cannons.

this is a great series

BINGO !!
I found it
On my legs eleven I enjoyed the short stroll from the road to GZ
TFTC.

Liked the puzzle although I had to get some help with one number. Good hiding location. I was a bit startled by a couple of roos close to GZ. Thanks

GPS was jumping around a little but ended up accurate to within 1 meter!
TFTC

I think I was history trying to solve this one. I had exhausted all my Bingo friends including the new found ones on the cruise ship. Nothing seemed to work. I don't play Bingo.
Thank goodness for Evince.
The ants on site were trying to play bingo with me but I won that game too.
TFTC Geogetters.

We're up here for our Anniversary weekend away - yey!! It was GMelb's turn to choose the location (we alternate so it's a surprise for the other half!) He chose Bendigo coz there is so many caches to find and we havent been up here since we got "into caching" Lucky we both like caching!! lol
After a lovely day of caching on the Saturday (and a snake encounter!) we were glad that it was a cooler day today so headed off around 9.30am with this being the spot we decided to have lunch after 9 finds this morning. After lunch and a circuit of the lovely Kennington Reservoir, we headed off for more caching and this was the 3rd of the late arvo's score. Once again the car GPS got confused where to take us! We finally found an entry point however it probably wasnt the right one as we had to climb through 2 fences, they both had access points where other peoplke had been through before! Another nice spots with nice views!
We had started logging these caches whilst still up in Bendigo but the ancient laptop combined with average coverage for the phone wi-fi hotspot meant the internet kept crashing so logging at home now. We're not having much luck with technology this week!!!

Nice puzzle and a quick and easy find. First to sign the new log. Thanks for the cache.

Found at final coordinates, log was a bit damp and ink on previous log notes was starting to run. Thanks!

Another one found from this series (can't remember how many we ended up getting but a couple are still eluding us!). A fun series and some good caching. Thanks!

Found on a Bendigo cache-run. TFTC!

Nice easy find
