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.
I had been here and collected an icon wpt. Today it was a real piece of plastic and log. Bit of a bonus! Clear skies from TeamAstro.
I have been here before for a waypoint in another cache. Now there is a cache to be found too. Sorry we were not wearing clogs today.
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' & got back on the way on The 'Fantastic Friday Cache Chase'

This was the first cache attempted by Biggles Bear and myself on our afternoon cache run. Nice quick find. Thanks for bringing us back to this interesting location.
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.

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
Just a quick drive-by with Mudrox on the way thru to do some preparatory work for future reference.T4TC.
Suscoe's 10th find for the morning.
Nice and quiet here today.
Had no idea this place existed.

I've been wanting to grab this one for a few weeks but finally got the chance this evening. Loved this container and I have never seen one like this before. TFTC
another spot I would never have seen if it weren't for caching. Thanks for this one.

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 . So it just became a drive-by.

We were driving past here avoiding the WGB on our way home from Creswick, so had to stop. We found it quite quickly, and then wandered in to check out the windmill. Thanks for the hide.
Found cache in the open. Signed the logbook and placed back where I thought it should go.
Used to travel past here regularly, but not so often these days. The gardens in here are looking very nice at the moment, we drove in and around the carpark, before returning to GZ for a quick find. Cheers!
On way to Melton to pick up the part for my car which I order thru the ebay. stopped there. It's really beautiful place. Thanks bring me there. Found it TFTC
Had to get some info for another cache so grabbed this while I was here. Quickly found. TFTC

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.

now thats a drive by at 1 mtr ! at a weird looking wind farm with only 1 generator . tftc Low Miltt
Wondered if the mills actually turn... I've not been past very often, but never seen them in motion. Not much wind today so still no answer. Thanks.
Found by Mary & David at 1025. Apparently this is a great venue for a celebration. Cache still snug and dry even with all the torrential rain last night. Our thanks to Low Miltt.
Quick drive by on our afternoon / evening out caching. Quickly signed the log and replaced the cache before muggles see us. One more cache for the day and then dinner we think. TFTC.
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.

A nice quick find after parking only 1 meter or so from the cache.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Low Miltt. I wonder what the Windmill owner think of people parking in their driveway

An easy 2TF here today. I think that Riddell must have loaded the wrong coordinates.
This place always reminds me of the one at Shepparton. Thanks Low Milt for the cache.
