Didn't find this one. I wasn't too happy about 2 DNFs in a row, so I went for a swim to cool down & tried again. Same result. Oh well.

Suscoe was out caching in the late afternoon in the terrific company of Phetlern.
We enjoyed this little group of caches names after these talented folks.
The locations were pleasant on a hot afternoon.

After setting up camp at Lake Hume, in the good company of fellow Geelong cachers Suscoe, it was time to dip our toes in the water and seek out some nearby caches. This little clutch caught our attention and we soon understood the significance of the location and appreciated the recent find incident with a muggle.
Our thanks to DazRascal for placing this cache.

Yeeeaaahhhhh. Probably somewhere between Albury and Adelaide by now , or in middle of a flooded paddock.
"We found Michael on the 2nd of Oct.2016. Near the Hume Weir yacht club. Not knowing what it was or what it meant my daughter and I wrote some information on the note pad and placed it in the Murray river and it refloated under the Union Bridge on the Albury/Wodonga border. It should end up in lake Mulwala. Sorry if we did the wrong thing."
Will replace soon.

So glad this one got replaced so we could finish the series! Just one more to get, thanks for the cache!
Didn't spend that much time at the cache, but based off of the clues we couldn't find the cache.
Out to collect our 10+ favourites souvenir for the day and this was the last Jackson cache to be located. Unfortunately we could not find the cache, and the area that seemed most likely had been well disturbed. Suspect it may be missing or misplaced.
It looks like it may have been removed. 100% we were in the right spot, but the hiding place looks all stuffed up and we could not locate any container after 30 minutes of searching. Or I'm blind, which is also a strong possibility.
Tftc! We weren't sure whether it had fallen out of place or was meant to be laying on the ground but we did put a treat in it and put it back where we found it.
Thanks for bringing us to this lovely part of the lake, wouldn't have come but for geocaching
A trip out to the dam this afternoon, grey skies and cool temperatures
Water looks low
Thanks for hiding this cache

Found after a few minutes thanks to the hint. Wasn't sure if I had to go down to a lower level or stay on high ground. TFTC
Find #1367
Spending a few days in Albury with the family. Hadn't done a heap of caching but decided to tackle this series when on a sightseeing trip up to see the big lake and impressive dam wall. Parked on the other side of the dam gates so had a longish walk around with Geobaby in the stroller to get to this point. Lovely location with a great view of the lake. Again spot on coordinates took me right to it. Feel very uncomfortable about Michael's legacy these days given the allegations that surrounded him! Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited a few trackables. Thanks for the cache and for this series DazRascal.

After moving to the area a few months ago the kids and I decided to escape the house to allow my wife to complete some studies.
Thought we'd explore the area and get to know our new home and the lands around it.
A great little area that we will be visiting again for sure, this was a nice easy one for my littlest to find himself. Cheers.

TFTC!!! Container and sandwich bag were full of water so log was saturated making it difficult to sign
My grandad and I found this cache while on our Albury/Wodonga small caching trip. We walked a short distance from a previous cache to this one. The water level of Lake Hume was quite low and there was a wide expanse of rocky ground in front of us. There were some boats out on the water with fishermen on them. Nice views from GZ even though it was an overcast day. The search for the cache took some time.
Our thanks to DazRascal for this little series - we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Found with Geodog who loved the adventure across from the yacht club! TFTC, GeoJess
GZ gave us a wonderful view of the lake. Nice little hide - cache in good condition. We missed going for 'Marlon' (ran out of time and it is looking a bit slippery out there). Thanks for this great little series - nice one - another FP from me
Found with Snickersallan, Fit02 and buddy, nice quick find for Easter Sunday 2015
Awesome spot here. Great views. Nice easy cache. Decided to drop off a TB. SL TFTC DazRascal
Plenty of boats about today and families enjoying the Good Friday activities.
We found and signed the log mid afternoon and moved onto some more equally challenging caches nearby.
Thanks to DazRascal for the cache hide and great vantage point of the lake.

Next stop on me stroll around the point took me out to a picturesque spot with a seat
I didn't bother using the seat.
It was still early morning, and on the Saturday of a long weekend, I expected this place to start swarming with muggles at any minute [:o]
A short stroll away I spied the cache
As easy as ABC !! [^]

Up from Melbourne visiting friends and we are out for a day on the weir skiing but a cache or two would be nice also. I managed to get dropped off a Jackson's Point and will walk back to out day spot via a couple.
Sat down on the rocks to enjoy the view and sign the log, magic spot.

Had not been out to this part of the weir, amazing places caching takes us. Enjoyed the scenery and search's of this small series. TFTS
Found with Kiki37 and Kudjro. The last cache of a nighttime run. Both the GPS and phone-compass led us directly to this one. It was a leisurely stroll back to the car while avoiding scaring nearby roos. TFTC!
Last cache for the night with mez'n'teags and kudjro. The kangaroos were out and the stars looked amazing. TFTC
#621 Found on a run from Latchford Barracks to the Dam. Nice spot for a breather. TFTC!
3588. Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0940. after a DNF back in May we had to come and put Micheal to bed. That is where we looked last time but without any luck. SL Tnx DazRascal for the replacement cache.
Didn't find it Didn't find it 21/05/2014
A DNF for baby&Mrs gopher today. Looks like Michael had exited stage left.

Quick find by MrsClazza! Great wander around the reserve with no muggles to interrupt with the gate locked. Thanks for the series
This cache took a little longer to find, the GPS didn't settle well and I was trying to be discrete as there were muggles fishing nearby, luckily I was able to grab the cache and sign log while out of their sight. TFTC

Searched for quite a while but no sign of a cache.
Cleaned the area up a little bit after making sure none of the bottles weere cache related.
Thanks anyway DazRascal

We came to Wodonga for a week to visit GeoDaughter Emnjared and to celebrate our grandson's 21st birthday. After tackling a couple of local puzzle caches we decided to have a go at the Jackson 5.
Michael was our final brother. Thankfully, following my debacle at the previous cache this one came to hand much more easily.
Thanks for putting this series together. It is really good to have a series where the hides are all different.

After searching high and low for Marlon for at least 30 minutes, a frustrating DNF ...... Michael was basically out in the open under old plastic bottle waiting to be muggled (especially by park cleaners, we saw over at Marlon !!!!!!. Disappointingly, only 4 out of 5 Jacksons. We hid Michael as a cache hide should be. TFTC unfortunately no time to get Marlon, pressing holiday schedule to see entire Murray river.
Made the find whilst enjoying a few nights with family in Wodonga...
Out & about enjoying some of the many beautiful places in this great country... Thanks for bringing me here... Nice views...

[:(!] Had nothing better to do and what better way of filling in an afternoon than to do a bit of caching and this was one them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

My ever so good geoboy was busy picking up rubbish when he stumbled across the cache LOL
Found at 12:10. I do enjoy caching when it takes you to beautiful spots such as this one, a great spot to have lunch and find a cache as well, plenty of sail boats out today. Thanks
The last of the Jackson Five done and dusted. Found exposed, so covered it with some natural camo. SL at 10am Left: Halloween PT #1872 TF the series DazRascal
