Nice spot but we didn't find the cache.

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.

TFTC DazRascal.

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.
Thanks to DazRascal for placing this cache.

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.

Didn't spend that much time at the cache, but based off of the clues we couldn't find the cache.
 
31-Jul-16
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.
 
19-Jul-16
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.

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.

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!

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.
 
07-Mar-15
Next stop on me stroll around the point took me out to a picturesque spot with a seat Smile
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 Smile
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.
Thanks for the cache DazRascal

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

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.

[:(!] 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.
