Jasmine's Special Cache Heathcote, Victoria, Australia
By Jasmine (8yrs old) Part of Cheridolphin Team on 31-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2CJNP

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

It would seem that this cache is missing in action. Will try to get out and replace it this week.

Looked all around the tree. The hollow is very deep and even with a torch we couldn't see or reach. It may need checking...

We came. We hunted. We did not find - disappointingly . Doc, Mrs, GK1, GK1BF and GK4 scoured the bush for an hour in the amazing heat in the middle of the day. Well except GK1BF who built a tiny house out of sticks while we scoured. Either cache is MIA (there was a clunking sound at bottom when hit by a long stick - could this be the cache?) or we suffered temporary blindness. BUT we will no let it defeat us. We will return.

This was an easy drive by especially with the car park near by. Personally I would have called this The Butterfly Tree or something because when we got there the amount of orange butterflies that came out of the tree was unbelievable. Future finders need to be aware of the precarious position of the cache but it has lasted this long so all must be good. TFTC Cheridolphin.

When we neared GZ we saw a magnificent tree with many knobs and burls - a unique tree for sure. After some hunting around the area, the cache was found in a very good hide. The cache and the contents were in good condition. TFTC Cheridolphin.

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.



14:40

Our first road trip since we started caching... let's see how many smileys we can squeeze into the trip north.



Travelling with the girls, this one was a must before leaving Heathcote. The kids followed the GPS arrow from where we'd parked, and soon located their quarry... and of course the younger one had to slide down the dirt mound on the way back... because she can.

No Luck.. It was getting dark.. A lot of rubbish in the area.. tins / plastic that kept leading us astray.. we needed to give up due to loss of daylight... and the GPS seemed to be directing us to the general area.. though not straight to the cache...

this cache brings up no 400 so it is special to me tftc

# 465. Caching today in the company of Robmc, pprass and Feathertop on the way to Bendigo. A quick find here and then on to Heathcote. TNLN, Thanks for Jasmine's cache, Cheridolphin.

Found at 9:46 AM GAFF5 in the company of BettyBoo3747, Feathertop and Robmc. We had a special time doing this cache - a good, fun group of people huddling in a warm car in the cold Heathcote air.
Thanks Cheridolphin

The last of our warm-up caches on our way to Heathcote.
As the driver today, I appreciated the parking spot nearby.
Thanks, Robmc.

Great hide!

Found in the company of my DH.
A weekend away to visit brother and my mother for mothers day.
After we departed ways, a cache or two was on the cards.
There is a burrowing creature that has moved in at the opposite side of the tree - I wonder what it is!
Thanks Cheridolphin and Jasmine for this cache.
(Sorry its taken me some time to log, "life" got in the way.)

Love the Tin theme

Found it on the way home from a daytrip Container has a petty large Crack but contents were dry. TFTC

found with crazy creelz after a movie

One of many found on a bit of an extended caching run to Melbourne. Just on my own today, and was heading via Heathcote to clean that area out.

Had to do this one, as my 7yo daughter is named Jasmine. Took a few mins to locate after looking at the wrong height for a while. TFTC.

Found on 4/02/12 following the movie in the park.

This was a good little cache. Didn't take very long of walking around before I found it. Took the spinning top and left a little green house.

Another good find on the way home

Out to get my secret Santa today and grabbed a few caches on the way home
A short stroll from the car park soon had this cacher in hand.

Nice easy find on a lovely day after a very foggy start to a picnic at Echuca.

TFGC

Well, beta female insisted on joining me for this hunt, as she shared the same name as the cache and was busting to know why it was so 'special'. A quick wander from the car and the cache was soon in hand.... TFTC.

Having a cache share her name made her day as we continued on our way to Echuca.

Thanks Jasmine for your cache! Took us a couple of laps to find it! SL TN L-stickers TFTC

Was going to attempt this one on the way up to Echuca, but didn't want to annoy my dad to stop the car. So I just annoyed him on the way home.

He came in with me, and was playing with Kangaroo bones whilst I grabbed the cache and signed the log

Thanks Jasmine for your lovely cache!!

Nice easy find to start a day of caching with the family good to get back into it. Took nothing and left a slinky.

Found today - a lovely cache - thank you signed log

Found by Mary & David at 1630. A good spot to stretch the legs, and to see such a magnificent survivor. Our thanks to Jasmine.

I found the handy parking spot up the hill from towne and hoofed it the last 30 metres or so to GZ
I made sure to sneak up on the cache using the big tree for cover.
Didn't want those muggles in that house to see me [:o]
TFTC.

Thanks for the cache Jasmine

Thanks, a nice quick find with De Ja Vu.
TFTC.

Found with Geo_Lightly. Appreciate that there was somewhere safe to pull off the road. Thanks for the cache Jasmine.

Thanks for this one It was a nice easy find.

Once again I found myself on the back roads heading home, caching. Just the way I like it!
A wet afternoon but the rain stopped enough to let me out here and the hide was really good too.
Thanks Jasmine.
TNLN

We pulled up and soon located the safe parking position mentioned on the cache page and headed off towards gz where it took us a couple of minutes to locate the cache
Thanks Jasmine, nice hide

Heading from Bendigo to Nagambie for the day and weren't in a rush to get there on this occasion so thought some geocaching would break up the day with geosister and her 3 geokids. This was a nice easy find compared to what was to come for us. Thanks Jasmine

Many thanks to Jasmine for placing this cache in a spot we havent really topped by before. GeoKids were snoozin', so Big Ez jumped out for this one solo.
We are liking these nice roadside caches on the way through to Melbourne where there is enough room for the camper in tow.
Many thanks for your efforts. TOOK: Padlock TB

Found the cache on the way home from a trip to visit my nan in Shepparton, then headed up to Cobram and Tocumwal on the border. Last find for the trip at 9:32pm. Worked my way down the path and around the huge bush spider webs before making i to GZ. Nice hide Jasmine. Dropped lock TB. Thanks for the hide.

Hope it is in now!!!!!

Hi Jasmine, I have dropped off a german geocoin but it has not
shown up on your cache log.

Thanks

Nice cache with very interesting tree. Well done.
TNLN TFTC

Find number 734 by WazzaAndWenches.

After spending a frustrating day negotiating city traffic I took a few minutes extra on the way home to stop a search for a few caches along the way. Good to get out and stretch the legs. Parked just off a driveway about 100m from GZ and took the short walk back through many spiderwebs and grass seeds.
Cache found quickly although the ants thought a six foot lunch had arrived

Thanks Jasmine and Cheridolphin.
