Busy going through my GSAK database and updating caches I haven't sent a log for. Have been using GSAK to keep tabs on my finds. Thanks to the cache owners for the caches. Working my way through those caches that require emails with answers.

Found on the way to Bendigo @ 1220 Hrs. Nice area which I have'nt been past in some years! Found the cache & a fantastic day to be out & about! Not too many muggles to dodge.

Took a couple of 'snap's' Wink & got back on the way on The 'Fantastic Friday Cache Chase'

The fiancé and I were in the area visiting the winery just up the road for a bridal expo.
(There used to be another cache on the road diagonal right, now archived?)
Anyways, he parked off the side of the road, and I walked back, and found the cache after a short observation of the nearby area.
Thanks Low Miltt for this cache.

Quick find while out caching with LouiseAnn on a rainy and cold day. Enjoyed the sight of the windmill! Thanks for giving LouiseAnn a reason for bringing me here even if it was a bit out of our planned route for the day.

This cache was a little out of the way for Ostra74 and I today, after completing the earth caches at the Organ Pipes National Park., but given the land mark, I knew we had to visit it. We pulled up in the car and put the flashers on. We found the cache with little trouble and signed the log book, and returned the cache to its hiding place. As we jumped back into the car and headed off, we saw another car pull up, we were sure it was another cacher pulled up, but it looks like we were wrong. Thanks for the cache Low Miltt

Quite an interesting place here - like a little bit of Holland came over. We were surprised by the amount of traffic around, even without a reception on! L glass easter egg. TFTC

We'd just started to search, when the owner came out to lock up. Wanted to know what we were doing poking around outside his front gate late on a Sunday, so we told him - not much point trying to lie. Hopefully he'll leave the cache untouched, now he knows what we were doing and where it is

We were hoping to get some coffee here, but the centre seems to be only for functions; and there was none today that we could pretend to belong to Razz. So it just became a drive-by.

Found by Team Ladava around 4.00 pm
We are familiar with this location having lived at Sunbury for many years but it remains a striking and iconic symbol of a land far away.
In fact I think the nearby cache featuring the same location was possibly the first cache we visited with the team who introduced us to this wonderful sport/obsession. Naturally when we signed up it was one of the first smileys we obtained.

Our thanks to Low Miltt for the cache and bringing us back to this location.

I remember finding Oenze's Going Dutch cache here which I found almost 5 years ago.
I'm guessing that one is probably gone now.
This small cache was easily found after parking 2m away from it.
