Took a few tries but finally found this one.

Hi Tigersden ... the log in this cache needs replacing as it is full.

Thanks again for a great cache.

Cheers.

This was our 3rd attempt at finding this cache ... very well hidden.

Thanks for the challenge.

A good tricky little hide third time lucky
TFTC

This was our next cache on CPs list and we managed to arrive on a non-busy day.
It was getting humid by now, after a bit of searching and getting frustrated I was going to suggested we give up when CPWanderer made the discovery.
A sneaky little hide and the coordinates were quite accurate.
Thanks for the cache tigersden

We searched .................. and searched ............ then I had the "Ah Ha" moment!! Found with clare007 on a very hot sticky day!!

bought extra 2 people and found it at second attempt

Feel quite disappointed to not locate this one - will come back when I have more experience!

Find No. 1426. Found with FUF009 at 3.53pm

In Bendigo for the day to attend the two events and find some caches. FUF009 tagged along with us.

After attending the second event, it was now time to go and find a few more caches around town.

This took us quite a while to track down. We knew it had to be somewhere where we had already looked but just couldn't locate it. FUF009 decided to read previous logs for the cache and upon doing so lead him to where it was. A sneaky little hide.

TFTC tigersden

Find # 3246 @ 1553 H

Found with Tyred n Cranky.

After the "5 months to the Surf Coast Event - Bendigo" and seeing that the sun was shining we decided to tackle some of the caches around Bendigo.
Took us some time to locate the hide, but after checking over previous logs there was one word that put us on the right path for the cache.

TFTC tigersden

Found it! I searched high and low for this sneaky cache and was thinking about giving up. PAF indicated that I was looking in the correct place but it was hidden extra snuggly and took some extracting. Thank you for bringing me to this interesting building, and thank you for the cache tigersden

Had our class looking all over for this one, but no luck on this occasion. We'll be back....

Took a few minutes! TFTC

All good at GZ. Log signed and cache returned. Glad to get this one with not a soul about, finally !

Second time there and still no find

Where the hell is this one!!!

I would love to say we found this one quickly but we did not. We looked in the obvious spots, nothing. We sat on the seat and looked and decided we had not give one area a through look and there it was.
A great building, pleased to see that it is being shown the respect that it deserves.
SL TFTC

There are only so many places to look... TFTC

Many thanks to a fellow geocacher for helping with this one. Hard to describe the hide - obvious but tricky by default? Anyway TFTC.

Before we decided to give up, I had one more spot I wanted to look and bingo got it! TFTC

Firstly, apologies for the delayed logs.
Headed to Bendigo for the day with Sorceysal and Tessie the geodog for some quality caching.
I vaguely remember trying for this one before, but that was in the dark ages.
This time, SS and I made a quiick find.......sure I checked there before.
Thanks Tigersden

Out and about caching with Bogonghazy and geodog Tess on our way to Bendigo. We found some really great caches on this very enjoyable sunny day.

Looked in all the likely spots and then BH tried just one more and there it was. Thanks tigersden

Found with emthegem and Doormatt. Couldnt believe we actually found it after many tries. I am sure I had looked in that spot already. Tftc.

Found with doormatt and teamlauren. I have been back to this one and have been unsuccessful. I received a clue from a caching friend that led us straight to the cache.
Thanks for the cache

Found with emthegem and TeamLauren. I've looked for this cache several times now with no success but with a hint from a previous finder we quickly discovered it this time. We were all sure that we had checked the on previous searches. Thanks for the well hidden cache.

Found a while ago, new to Bendigo, first of two for the day, sorry for my delayed log.
The old app only has a couple of days left to live so I'm trying to catch up on all my finds that have just been sitting there in saved lists.
Thanks for bringing me here to gain a smiley.
Cheers and T.F.T.C!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

Finally FOUND IT! And feel sooo silly! Definitely was led astray on this one

Headed along to this one with reganseekers who had tried a few times previously along with many others going by the DNF's so we weren't confident if it was in place or not.
Very late at night by torchlight we searched every nook and cranny multiple times. We gradually widened our search area and still no luck. Finally we gave up and as I wandered back to the car, I checked one spot that I hadn't earlier and there it was. Took us much longer than it should have, expecting it to be harder than it was. Glad to grab this smiley. Thanks tigersden

unable to find.

found it.
TFTC

Booked into a local caravan park, and headed out to pick up a few caches.
Even though this one had a few DNF's, we thought we would have a look.
Glad we did, as we found the cache after a short search, which was a great hide.
Will attach a photo of the log.
Many thanks for placing this cache, tigersden, for us and others to find.

Searched high and low.. Couldn't find.. Please re-check cache..

Looked for ages couldn't find it

Foun

No dice

Didn’t find

This was hard any hints?

This cache had not been found in a little while and I thought it wouldnt be there. I was going close by anyway so i decided to take a look.
It is there!
TFTC

Looked for ages couldn't find it

Looked for the second time, was unable to find.

Found it after second attempted since 2 yrs ago.

This one eluded us all a few times, but not this time.
No sign of any muggles around and a quick find.
Thanks for the cache tigersden,
Roostaman.

out for a drove and a cache tftc

Only looked for about 20 minutes as well.

With muller 36

Old logg found with muller36

Nup. Looked hard no findy. Will have to keep an eye on this one. Not as if there are heaps of places to hide.

Spent 20 minutes here. Will come back again for another try.

logging this only now found a while ago with muller36 TTFC

Awesome hide, had 2 of us stumped so called in GeoVaughan and GeoHorse but still no luck. Just about to give up when I saw exactly where it would be. Quick look and bingo!!! Great hide!

Awesome great hide tftcl

Nice hide

Found with a little help for Tamzy TFTC

Second attempt at this one ,, finally found it TFTC

Was right on the mark according to GPS had to stop search muggles near by.

Looked hi and low but had to stop due to muggles

Heading home from work, stopped in to do a quick search and soon had the cache in hand. Log signed with no muggles apparent at this time of the evening, although I am aware that evening meetings are a frequent occurance here. Thanks tigersden for placing this cache.

Found with Tyron51 and Nick8586.

This one took us the most time out of the ones we found that night. Almost a DNF and then there it was.

TFTC.

Very tricky find this one but looked at where it might be hanging and bam got it with tyron51 & muller31

After an early start today we drove from Albury to Bendigo managed a few caches along the way and then once again when we got to Bendigo. We only meant to do a few in town but the caches were so invitingly close and town was so quiet today we just kept going. We have had a great start to our geocaching around here and this was one we enjoyed finding, it was so well hidden, this one gets a fav point..
Nice work with the cache thanks to tigersden.

DNF for me today

Found after the 3rd attempt. Thanks to Tigersden for some direction here. This one we just could not find on previous visits.
Signed log and returned to hiding spot.

will get back for another try soon!

With the help of MrandMrsF Tamzy and I were able to find one that had been haunting Tamzy for quite some time!!! TFTC

Finally after about my fifth visit and a little hint from fellow geocacher I had the cache in hand. I was sure I had ruled out every possible place! Couldn't give up though! Thanks Tigersden for another great hide!

Searched for quite some time and was about to give up, then I checked one last spot on the way back to the car and there it was! My GPS was a little off track with this one which didn't help. TFTC!

My husband found it after I gave up coz my iPhone GPS bounced all the time he showed me where it was. Tricky little hide TFTC

11th and last find for the day....

Spent a bit of time looking in spots where it wasn't, but eventually found it. Archie was a bit cranky, as I won the most finds today , by one!!!

He was also happy that we got to find a tigersden cache as well....

Cheers gordo.

Suscoe made our way here after a trip to the Sunday market nearby.
Today we had much better luck than last time.
The cache was located very quickly this time.
Signed and returned to its sneaky place.
This is a wonderful old building and we thank tigers den for placing a cache here and sharing this historical place.

Found by my 11 year old son with fnlee good job - but tricky!!

Oooo that was a bit tricky!!! TFTC

Tricky!!

Nice quick find for us today. No muggles around. Thanks Tigersden

Muggles about, will try again later

Tricky but good hiding spot thanks tigersden TFTC

Today was a big day with 57 finds in the Bendigo area with Honeysucker including an event to celebrate Tigersden's 250 hides. Finished up the day with some night caching in the CBD. Tommorow is the 4WD event to the east of Bendigo.

Phoned a friend and found the cache. TFTC.

On a 4x4 weekend away with firesafe
this took awhile to find even a paf was used

on a big day caching while family was at cinema
No luck on this one though, wasnt sure if it was inisde the gate or on nature strip/ or fence but my signal bouncing didnt help

Another day

Tricky little hide.
Took a bit to find with the kids on their school holidays.
TFTC

Beautifully restored building. A great place to search while the rains came down. This took some time to find, but after B2's suggestion at hiding place, B1 found cache. This was a B1 and B2 team effort. There is always a joy in finding something together. Thanks tigersden for a remarkable hide.

Been ages since I first came to do this cache. Muggles out then, but today it was empty. A quick find, signed, and dashed before anyone appeared.
Interesting old building.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found it yay third or so time lucky.

A fun log on a day caching. Found with stooy and aveen

I swear I have put my fingers there several times in the last 3 times that I have serched here in vain!!! but found it today Thanks for the fun

We found this cunning little hide at 3:25pm after a lovely day spent measuring trees in the Shelbourne forest. SL TFTC Tigersden.

Came here with magnucyl when he was in town last and I didn't sign the log so I thought I'd best come back and sign it... TFTC!

2nd find for day @11:25am, with Princess Amy and Stick Kid in tow. TFTC, TNLN, SL

Thanks tigersden for a terrific clue, being the hopeless male that I am.

found it with Chaplain Mike and Princess Amy. TFTC TNLN [^]

Found with Stick Kid and Chaplain Mike TFTC TNLN thankyou Tigersden [^]

It wasn't where the GPS said it should be, sosearched further around but still with no luck.

Thanks

This one took me a while, I checked a lot of tricky spots but this hide was just that little bit more tricky I won't give anything away, but will say that I was happy noone was about to disturb my searching - as it took me ages.

This is the second attempt at this cache. When Mr G said "here it is silly", I thought "why didn't I look there before?" TFTC

Gorgeous day, approached GZ with not a muggle in sight and did everything we could to make ourselves noticable! We would have looked ridiculous! Anyway, great hide, though like previous cachers, the GPS had us a long way from the actual find! Thanks also to the previous cachers who left some great clues! TFTC tigersden!

TFTC! Thankyou to Tigersden.
