The OLD Tarnagulla Llanelly, Victoria, Australia
By tigersden on 07-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2M54W

...

Looked high (and not so much low) but could not find this one - and looked in all of the obvious places...if the CO hadn't put in a note confirming that the cache lives I would be worried about whether it had been muggled.

It's there.

We think that this cache is been muggled....again. So would the CO possible check it out to see if it is still there. It was muggled about six months ago, replaced for a very short time, and now we think its been muggled again. Thanks. Cheers.

Found by youngest geokid on the way home from Christmas with the family. We've always wanted to stop here so it was great to have an excuse! TFTC

Good to have someone tall with me that makes it so much easier

Tftc what great little hut interesting hide
GZ is odd but then the obvious is the right place !

Love this little hut. TFTC

Very easy find with Frop62.

I think this one needs to be checked. We saw the big list of DNF but as we were heading within 50 metres anyway, figured we would check it out. Flicking through some prior logs we got a good idea of where and what we were looking for at this magnificent old building but as with the rest of logs from the last 5 or so months, we had no luck. TFTH

Looked but no such luck.

Had a good look but couldn't find anything.

Strange, but not found

gave it a go and could not find it. Came back with someone who had found it before and still could not find it.
Not sure if it has just been moved or if it is gone

4 GeoKids & 2 GeoAdults failed to find it.

Very interesting about old building so beautiful one... Thanks tigersden

The bushland around Tarnagulla is definitely good for cycling
Which is what I was doing today
Here I found the olde hut
Ooh !! A bit small, but the way living trends are going in Europe, this sort of minimalistic home is back in vogue [^]

And meanwhile after a bit of mucking about, I found a well hidden cache in what was the 'obvious' place
Provided you know what 'obvious' is

TFTC and another bit of history [^]

This was our hardest find as the coverage kept cutting out! But I'm glad we finished the day with a find! Mozzies are bad so aero gaurd a must

Called in last July with no luck , but found quickly this time ????. TFTC

I'm going to have to invest in a hand held GPS. The iPhone can be a little inaccurate.

Nice easy find tnln tftc

Couldn't find this after a short search. We didn't look too long due to lots of ants, some broken glass and quite a bit of mud after a heavy shower. There were so many places it could be hidden, too! Great location and a good excuse to return again at a later time.

Clambering Geohusband made quick find great spot but a bit feral inside TFTC

Loved this old hut, glad to see that it is still in reasonable condition.
The container was easily spotted and the log signed.
TFTC

Found today on our way to St Arnaud for an event.
What an amazing little cottage, it's a shame vandals have messed with it, My geo kids were excited to see the small cat in the stonework. I bet it has a story or two to tell, when I was a young girl my grandparents lived in Tarnagulla for awhile while my grandfather worked on the railways, I was about ten years old then and I hadn't been back here till today, many many years later lol probably wouldn't of only because we discovered the wonderful world of cacheing
Thank you for bringing me back here today for some memories. TFTC

Found on our way to st arnod for an event we had previously search without any luck but pulled up to gz and with a quick search we had the cache tftc

Had a DNF on this one previously so headed back today on way to St Arnaud event. Came up with the goods very quickly! Loved looking around the area though TFTC!!

Robs & Dean

Thankfully to my monkey like climbing abilities and a stick this was in hand I've always loves the look of this quaint cottage TFTC

Wonderful hide! Took a bit to spot it. A bit of a giggle as short-ass Palemoon Dancer tried to get it. She gave up and watched as I reached up and took it down. Great spot!

Beautiful old building. Its a shame its been vandilised. Read previous logs and looked up high. Found with JKMuggle. Had a nice chat with a local wanting to sell us his ute. Would have been a great caching car.

Great location - no need to go inside

Thank goodness Leave No Traces was with me. No way I could reach the container. TFTC

Found this some time ago but, being "new" have only just discovered how to log "stuff". Stayed at the pebble house, what an interesting place, great cache tigersden! TFTC

a quick look as we passed but no find

Very tricky left spirit level. Great hide. Thanks

Great find. Have driven past this little house many times, yet this is the first time I've stopped to look. TFTC!! If it's not very sunny, a torch might help. Pity someone has left rubbish in such a great piece of history.

Four of us looked but couldn't come up with the goods, maybe next time

We looked and looked, I thought what a cute little house, just like PadddyJaks Shack lol, but no luck today for us unfortunately

Not there

Suscoe's 9th find of 58 for today as we left St Arnaud and headed to Bendigo for a bit of rail trailing.
This was a delightful day with perfect weather which hit around 22 degrees and at times some very light rain in the morning.
The trip was great and we enjoyed seeing the green tinge to the surrounding paddocks.
Thanks to tigersden for bringing us to this place.

Out today to try and pick up some playing card clues for tigersden's Gin Rummy cache (GC2KNEQ). Only managed to find a couple though during my 241km trip with 27 caches found. I am sure tigersden won't mind me writing this in all cache logs, because most of them were theirs.

Split my pants retrieving the cache, but at least I got the smiley

Found with Tassiegirl13 while down on holidays from Queensland.
Took us a while to find this, we just didn't look hard enough on the first pass.
This was an interesting little structure to visit. it's certainly not big so it would have been cosy.
TFTC

Find No. 609. Found at 4.45pm.

On our way home from the Castlemaine Event we decided to stop at this spot to give our geo dog - 'Penny' a walk around and to try to locate the cache. Have been past this spot many many times but have never stopped before.
What a quaint little place - don't think I'd like to live there though.
TFTC

Now back home after a big trip with J+J.au including our second OzMega. Trying to catch up on so many logs unfortunately means a far bit of cut and paste. I enjoyed the caches along the way. We had a great trip thanks to all of the cache owners for giving us reasons to go, see, experience fantastic locations and challenges. SL..TFTC

This is a beautiful old building, it is a shame about the vandalism that happens. TFTC

Had a good look around the old home, but was unable to locate the cache.
Thanks

Nice quick find on this beautiful afternoon. Thanks

Nice easy find thanks

Quick find when GPS settled down, tftc

Found on road trip with Timotatus. tftc
Seems to be the local spot for analog tv watching :/

It's a shame that you can't restore buildings without some moron coming along and vandalizing them.
Neat little place, thanks tigersden

A cute little building with a multitude of repairs ro the stone work over the years. Pity that it has been so vandalised and neglectednTFTC tigersden

Great little spot, TFTC. I know the little house is old but it would be nice to how old

It was a chilly spot here today and the skies were threatening, so we were happy to have an opportunity to get out of the wind. Great spot!

TFTC

Home, sweet home. Thanks for putting one here to enjoy on a sunny winter's afternoon.

Love the old Tarnagulla.
Thanks for bring me here and cache

Another quick find on our trip. Out with the iPhone for this one.
TFTC

Round trip from Ballarat to Bendigo with friends and finding a few caches along the way. Found this one on the iphone. TFTC

Geo mum and geo nan found this while I was at work, thanks guys! Tftc

Found it!!
Find 1 of morning, had a good waddle about before spotting the cache. Unfortunate that some oxygen pilfering vandals have smashed all the windows in this building. Their parents would be so proud of them.

Thanks for the Cache, SL TNLN.

Found on our caravanning and caching tour of the area.

Thanks for showing us this historic building it certainly has character. TFTC

Nice easy find. It a shame that the place has been trashed on the inside. Kids couldn't believe that people could live in something that small. TFTC.

Good find on very hot day and late in our path of discovery.
TFTC

One of many found on a caching day from Bendigo to Halls Gap. Great explorations. Cache find straightforward, log signed and safely rehidden, just as found.
TFTC, found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Shame about how it has been treated smashed windows and Jim bean cans everywhere but what do you expect from people that drink that s&@t . But great hide.

One of those places you drive past often enough but never pull up to. Well we did it today. Shame that the ferals have been at this place. Found the cache easy enough, signed log and was on our way. TFTC

Great find Rachol!

Nice little house, Qick and easy find on way through. TFTC

lovely old building. tftc

Old building

Tn left poker chip TFTC

Find No.225 @ 1620

After a drive over to Bendigo for some medical supplies. I decided, on the way home, to get out and get this one being that it was close to the road and the rain had just stopped.

What an amazing place. with such simple construction.

Took Rivers Keyring
Left Poker chip keyring

Nice easy drive by cache TNLN TFTC

Found by DotG on day trip to Horsham. TFTC

4.45 Left from Bennella at lunch time and heading towards Halls Gap for the weekend with friends. Thought we would do a few caches on the way and this one is right on the road. So glad we stopped and checked out this very old one cottage. So suprised that the graffiti artists have not left their mark. Nice easy find and we seemed to have come in after a muggle who has left an interesting comment.
Thanks for the great find tigerden

nice hide, found easy, TNLN TFTC

Made a second visit to this cache, as we couldn't remember when we did it, and didn't log it at the time. Checked the log book, and we actually found it back in January. The old Bell's Hut is a fantastic piece of history, and despite some recent damage the cache is still in place and OK. TFTC.

20/38 for our day trip from Bendigo to Dunolly, Bridgewater and back to Bendigo.

Interesting that a couch & TV added. Wonder if it was a convenient place to dump some household rubbish! TFTC SL

# 175 - We love seeing these old relics, and especially love the ones that are accessible. Mr F had a great time sussing out everything (even the long-drop dunny!), TFTC tigersden

What a well restored litte hut. Pity some hooligans think it is fun to smash windows. Last one for the day on our wild west adventure. TFTC

Found at 12.12pm on our way to Dunolly.
A quaint old ruin, we learnt more about it from information boards in town
TNLN
Thanks
K&M

Roadside stop on our way back from holidays
Quaint cottage tftc

A quick stop to let the kids stretch their legs and have a hunt.
Thanks

Cool spot for a cache, it was a bit creepy but also a bit ridiculous. I wonder if there was ever electricity running into the cottage to power the television? There's more than a few muggle logs in the book, as the hiding spot may stand out a bit too much.

Found after a bit of a search mozzies were faster.

better make that 3 tigersden on way home from robe thanks again

another quick and easy find on my way to my new home in vic. a nice little building tftc.

Enjoy.....

Interesting building , quite enjoyed prowling around, SL, TNLN,TFTC

Geo-daughter is on fire today, 2nd time she has come up with the goods. Geo-Husband commented that he could live there if it had Internet & Austar. Who do I call? LOL. Great hide and thanks for the history, well preserved. TFTC SL Took party popper left silver tag. Thanks Tigersden

A lovely old building shows things were built to last. Good spot another place one would have just driven past if not for caching. Took dinasore Left car. Thanks for bringing us to a stop. TFTC.

An interesting old building, the cache was found after a quick search.

Thanks tigersden.

Found 10.00am
An interesting building which we had a look round trying to find the cache, should have taken more notice of where our GPSr was first pointing.

TNLNSL
Thanks tigersden

All intact .....think about it ,then an easy find

Recent storm had washed through the building. A pity how this place is being wrecked. I knew the bloke who was involved in building it. Clever hide. TNLN

Dipping Personal TB

Found, although Geodad needed a torch to find it! TNLN SL TFTC tigersden

Do pygmies live here? No glass in the back window so you could if you wanted to. Clear skies.

Cutest little building. Thanks for an excellent cache.

I love this little house! nicely hidded cache. I wish I'd had more time to explore some more. TFTC

A cosy little place. What could it have been?
Found easily just as it was getting dark.
