Quick find thanks

**Find #783**

Nice easy find using the hint. I do agree with Ausyowie that it should be moved, it does appear to be on private property and the fence is a really nice old fashion design. I would hate for it to be damaged. Please move the cache on to the road side of the fence. A great place to drive along. Thanks **Ausdynamix**. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache Ausdynamix. Please see the maintenance note.

Found after the quick jump over the fence. Like with Ausyowie's note it does seem to be on private property. The fence that was mentioned in the cache description doesn't seem to be valid anyone. Thanks.

Found by Team Justice #1501 CDWAF #161

This cache is now clearly on private property, as the fence has been completed. To avoid geocachers falling out of favour with the land owner for climbing over the fence, I suggest either getting permission to leave the cache there or moving it outside the fence line. There appear to be plenty of nice hiding spots nearby. It is a very nice spot for a driveby cache.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Cool hide!! Handy pen inside!

Rowboats we're here! Easy find

Cool. Quick drive by. TFTC, Cheers

Just a query/question? Note that the geocache location seem to be on private property, there fairly new timber post, rail, wire fence, no gaps, drive near by with rubbish bins.

Brilliant great find

Found it.

A quick find by Motndarg today, thanks ausdynamix.

The clue enabled us to find this cache quickly . TFTH

Another good find while in the area. SL TFTC

In good condition, TNLNSL, TFTC.

Beautiful spot. Lots of roos around.

Today myself and the Geomutt Bentley head out for a cache around my old hometown of Riddells Creek and surrounds. There isn't many other places in Victoria I find as beautiful and tranquil as here. Weather held off just fine and no DNFs for the day!

A quick drive by on the way home, what a great spot - loved the views.

Cheers and thanks!

Just me and the geopup out and about today. Thanks for sending me to a beautiful area

Thanks for the cache, ausdynamix. The cache is in good shape. SL TN LN

With the sun rising I travelled down this dirt road.

A great location and I spotted a few roos enjoying the morning sun on a nearby property.

The cache was a quick find and I left a TB.

TFTC

Great cache
Thanks
TN
Left some Russian coins

Found and SL

The fence has recently been exended all the way to a driveway. this cache now appears to be on private property??

I felt like I was trespassing on private property when I went to retrieve the little darling. TFTC and the views.

After a picnic at Merrimu and a fun bush-bashing puzzle that muggle parents were a little worse for wear afterwards, they were pleased to see this was a straightforward cache.
A road I never would have turned down, so was happy to be taken to a new spot with a lovely view.
Non-geo dad was rapt that he guessed where the hide would be - so thanks! Signed and returned as found. TNLNSL:-)

Nice clue

Nice and easy driveby in a very nice area. TFTC.

Travelling to Bullengarook to pick up some resources for next weekends mega I am also visiting a few caches along the way.
Quick find with the help of the clue, no TB's found in the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache ausdynamix

Nice easy little find! TFTC!

This one battled against my geosenses but soon had the cache in hand! Lovely area on a sunny Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Found this one, not exactley somewhere I would have first expected to find it, but non the less, found and logged. SL TFTC

Found by Team Ninja 13/7/15, whilst on an impromptu caching run to Bacchus Marsh. Find number 636.
I really enjoyed the drive to this one. Such a beautiful area with some magnificent gum trees. At GZ I parked the car and got up close and personal with the new fence as I climbed under it (I hoped the cache wasn't hidden on private property!). I quickly spotted the cache and signed the log. Thanks for the cache in such a beautiful area!

Last find for me today in what seems a pretty remote spot. Take care here if in wet weather. Found cache@ 14.25 under the watchful eyes of a mob of kangaroo's, priceless. Tftc.

Great place to find a cache lots of Roo,s and no muggles TFTC FAV from me.. for its location.

Felt like we were on someone's property getting that cache.......didn't help when a police car went past (turned out it was the first of the day)

What a awesome view

Quick stop off on way home from work. Lot of bouncing kangaroo guarding the prize.TFTC

Like other people have commented, this certainly is different. Not the usual type of fence I am use to seeing in the country. A short search and I was soon signing the log. TFTC ausdynamix.

Cool little drive! Geokids found it easily. Took a rubber snake, left a bouncy ball.
TFTC!

Nice easy find on our way home from Melbourne. As others noted the fence seems rather finished these days. However the cache was a good quick find and is in good order. TFTC Ausdynamix.

Tftc fence looks new and gose all the way now

Found got terrified by a big huntsman watch out

How odd to have a small post and rail fence doing not a lot. Great location for a hide.

Easy find on our way to Rowsley. Been wanting to do this one for ages now we can mark it off
the list. A great spot for a cache. Signed and replaced. TNLN. TFTC.

Found it JTJ

Found @09:41 #3376
On another run with Ahomburg towards the Intervening Days VI event and on the way the intent was to clear out as much as possible the caches around Melton and north of the freeway. The caches now were leading us further North and this one found us driving up some gravel country roads. Parked nearby and notice a oddly placed picnic table and nearby the cache was found in classic style.
TFTC ausdynamix

Found this cache in its strange location today. My geocar was glad that this road while being gravel was 2wd drivable as she couldn't have made it up to this cache otherwise. Signed log but didn't swap anything today.

Thanks for the cache ausdynamix.

Date: 27 December 2013
Time: 9:43am
Find # 3468
Streak: 149 days

I was out and about today with my caching mate SedgwickDave. The main mission was to attend the Intervening Days VI event and also to find as many caches North of the Western Freeway (M8) as possible.

This was the fourth cache of the day and it wins the award for the most meaningless fence around. A classic. Its like putting a picnic table in the middle of the bush and it requires a machete to get to it!! Maybe you could tie your horse to it, or lean your bike against it. [:p] A Quick find thanks to good co ords.

Thanks to ausdynamix for the cache. TNLN

Nice area

Just keep a look out for the local critters

Pretty area but the fence being there is just weird! Quick find - all in good condition. TNLN. TFTC ausdynamix

A night time find, and the warped vinyl records nearby made for an odd sight, but the large Huntsman that crawled out from under the cache was the real star. After signing the log I tucked the spider back beside the cache and said goodnight.

TFTC

grabbed this. nice area. lots of roos around. tftc

Decided that we should try some of the back roads between melton and Gisbourne today... so this was our first for the day. an easy drive by cache

Thanks to the CO

TNLNSL

I love a drive in the country. A nice location to visit with not one muggle in site. TFTC ausdynamix

Quick find with no one around. Thanks for bringing me down a road I would otherwise not have gone down

nice drive easy find

Good Fun

Found while travelling from Gisborne to Melton, quick grab on the way through, no trades to speak of so we left a little lizard to enjoy the view.
TFTC

Interesting little side trip on our way from Bacchus Marsh to diggers Rest. Always enjoy the fresh sandwiches at Toolern Vale. TFTC

Nice

Had the oldest boy home today from school, so we decided to go and grab a few caches close by then head out for a bite to eat for lunch. Driving up the track I told my son about how when I was in High School that we used to run our cross country events out here, that was before they became a little less cross country by year 10 when they were moved to Cherry Lake in Altona, not very 'cross country'. After boring him with my tale (not hard to do to a teenage boy) we arrived at GZ. I decided I'd stay in the car for this one and let him do all the work. I then hear a "found it" followed by a "I'm not sticking my hand in there". With a little encouragement (teasing) lol, he managed to retrieve the cache. We signed the log and headed off for a bite to eat back in Melton. TFTC ausdynamix.

Quick find, lovely drive in. Laughed at caches name and location

14:57
On the scenic route home from Gisborne. This detour on the dirt will probably mean I'm a bit late home, but there are three caches this way, and none if I take the bitumen road.

OK... that's one quick drive-by.

#1436

Nice easy find. I was driving around the area and decided to stop and find this one. Thanks for the hide ausdynamix - the hint was more than helpful

A great country location and an interesting spot for a fence. TFTC.

Car ride here wasn't pleasant with a lowered car, was happy to finally get here.
Left the Eat Sleep Cache tag there, please help it find it's way.
TFTC

Added the first layer of dust to my car for the weekend on this road, first layer of many

Nice view from the road. Easy find. Tftc

Nice fence tftc

Found by The Empire @ 3:35pm
Find number 15 of 25, heading to 4,600 finds this afternoon.
A quick find. Thanks for the cache, ausdynamix.

Had to return hubbys Christmas to DFO so thought I may as well do some caching on the way. A very unusual fence for this part of the world.

Thanks for the cache ausydynamix

A nice quick park and grab, a very interesting piece of fence as well! Cache is in good condition TFTC

Found while out with Biggles Bear on our monthly trip, this time to Bacchus Marsh and Gisborne. Nice quick find. The fence certainly is an enigma.

Thanks to ausdynamix for the cache.

Found 13:20, after a brief search, in the company of Muzza.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks ausdynamix.

Babysitting for two geonephews today. This proved to be a nice walk in a quiet bushland area mainly used by owners. It was a fun start to our geo day. Picked up geo coin.

First of a little 3 cache dash after a big day earlier in the heat. Nice little drive. TFTC TNLNSL

Easy find. Nice area.

A nice dry through the area and the cache was soon in hand.

Found as part of my 2 day caching run around and through the area. Thanks for showing me the area....and for the cache.

Nice quick find on a lovely country road. Thanks for bringing us here.

Enjoyed the drive out, some nice looking houses around the area

Nice easy find while visiting friends nearby with ludels. So green and lush in this area at the moment. No sign of any trackables but left one behind. Geokids did some swaps.

Nice find on way home from visiting friends with Akelamandy. Great views. The bush looks awesome at the moment after the wet year we've had. TFTC

Fantastic views @ 6pm tonight... easy, quick and fun find with the family. Watch for kangaroos!!

This was, cache # 8 of 24 finds for the day, in the company of Trailrunning, we had been chating and texting for some time now regarding caching but never met, so tonight we finally teamed up and went caching, we had a great night with lots of laughs along the way. Sutre was a quick pull over and grab cache. My thanks to ausdynamix for the cache.

The usual TDC cache grab had been put on hold for a week, so I was looking at doing a solo run when I remembered I had a rain check promise with the legendary RebelActs to go on an evening caching run during the school holidays at some stage in the future. Well tonight was the night. We met at Glen Waverley and were soon moving west to Melton. It’s hard to find locations close to either of us where we haven’t already cleared out the area, so the Melton area was easily accessible and fruitful enough for us both. In all we visited about 33 locations with only two DNF’s, one DNA, and 1 very flat tyre. All in all it was a great night out. I finally got to meet RebelActs after corresponding and talking for such a long time and never actually caching together!

We headed north for a quick grab of this cache. A nice easy driveby. thanks.

Found after geokid feel asleep on our way to a indoor playground in melton TFTC,TNLN

TFTC SL. First cache for the day on our family day out

Lovely countryside.
Quick easy find, cache good. TNLNSL TFTC

As mentioned, a quick easy driveby.

Am scouting the area for my next cache, so far looks like I can't get to where I was planning!!!

Cheers gordo

Got this easy drive by on the way back to Werribee from a Chrysler car show in Bendigo.

Heaps of Kangaroos in the nearby paddocks.

Signed log, took nothing.
Left smiley badge and new ikea pencil.
Returned to hiding spot.

Thanks for the cache.
