Seems this cache has come to a fateful end... we will get it up and running soon.

Couldn't find it!

Had a thorough look with geo wife today but we are fairly convinced it may have been muggled.

Looked with 2 younger brothers for 15 minutes but couldn't find. Our navigator had us going in circles. Maybe another day.

Found with my 3 billy goats! Tftc

Hi Found it nice hide.TFTC

One of the Teen Kettles found this with his girlfriend while on a short drive to Wentworth from their holiday in Mildura. Nice quick and easy find, TFTC.

Quick find by geohubby while I was getting a haircut in Wentworth. TFTC

A big day of caching with brisal5 and Aussie M & M plus a couple of locals. Another great cache in a lovely location.
Thank you

Day 2 of a caching long weekend to Mildura with Aussie M&M and mogni. We were joined by Mr. M parents for a caching trip over the border. We all knew where this would be but I was nominated to retrieve. What...Do I look like a troll or something[?] Thanks Stewbies 6

This was the first full day in Sunraysia on a caching adventure with mogni and brisal5. We were joined by Mr M's parents on a day where we mainly concentrated on getting as many Wentworth caches as we could.

brisal5 made the retrieval from the obvious spot. TFTC Stewbies.

In town for the RFDS rowing marathon and doing a few caches whilst here. This ephemeral water course was definitely in a dry phase so walked to the cache without the aid of the bridge. Nice big container. Thanks Stewbies 6.

Found on our trek north to the flinders ranges from Melbourne.
A classic spot in a quite location - Just what we needed after a couple of DNF's
Thanks Stewbies 6

Watch for spiders fun find thanks

A very easy find today and welcome it was too! A nice large container as well. Thanks Stewbies_6.

A nice location.TFTC

good find ,

A good clue A bit muddy when we went there. Dashbram

The clue to the clue is in the accent. Easy one. Thanks for the cache.

Not much to see at the lagoon today except for the cache. TFTC TNLN

Easy find although I did not get the relevance of the clue, TNLN, Thanks

I had the pleasure of the company of CPwanderer and DennisC52 for a caching trip to Mildura.
We saw lots of rain on our first day but then dry sunshine for the last two days.
We locus cache'd a few caches (121 finds and 13 DNFs) and all in all had a great time, especially on some of the state forest dirt roads!
Yes, there were police involved (twice) but luckily no fines!

A strange contrast indeed between the cemetery and the golf course!
A quick find for us right where a troll should be [^]

Found this after a breif visit to the Mildura/Wentworth regions. Not much time for too many caches, but did manage a few in our travels. TFTC

Found this with mum for the scouting/cub challenge while we drove to Mildura for the easter weekend. TFTC

This is our 1st full caching day around the Mildura area headed out to Merbein & on to Wentworth.
Have seen lots of grapes, & some great views of the mighty Murray.
The quality of the caches have been exceptionally good.
Road a bit muddy after last nights rain

12:22
Making an interstate start to the west; together with Ian & Penny, we wended our way back through Wentworth and Merbein, towards our base in Mildura. It was really interesting to read that the lagoon is only around 30 metres above sea level.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt Stewbies_6.

This was our 6th cache find in the caching run & we found it at 12:24

We spent a really enjoyable day with Phetlern. Starting north of Wentworth, we then went west for a while and gradually worked our way eastwards, ending up in Merbein before heading back to Mildura.
Another cache where the TB has gone missing.

No tb here TFTC

Back online after Replacing the container and new log book etc

Disabling this one until we can go for a maintenance run around town. Thanks team Kangawallabats.

This cache has been completely destroyed, assumedly by vandalism. I would suggest that this cache is delisted until it is repaired as the container is significantly cracked and the log book could not be located within the dry creek bed. The remains of the cache have been gathered together and placed within where the coordinates indicated the original location was.

Found scattered throughout the creek bed on the 25th of December 2012. Unable to sign log - See maintenance log.

Found easily, Left Gold Coin,
Beware of footing.

Easy one tftc

Found it but couldn't log it until we left the area. The cache was in a bit of a dead spot. Ha ha??

WanderingAus wandered by on day 125 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, making our way from Darwin towards Perth via Mount Isa, Townsville, Emerald, Goondiwindi, Gunnedah, Young, Yass and Wentworth.

After dropping the WanderingMrs at the Wentworth Services Club for yet another Line Dancing Workshop, I continued my Waymarking run around Wentworth, With a very small serve of cache hunting.

I was looking for a cache to drop a traveller into, and this one was more than big enough, so I dropped Ferdinand and his Freifrau on their honeymoon (TB214AR). I also dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC, my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB and a couple of other travellers in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

The cache is in good condition, but the listed travellers are not there, and there appear to be some 'Phantom' found logs.

On 26 Aug 12 lgoody placed NSH Boomerang (TB279QX) in Thegoa Lagoon (but wrote 28-8-12 in the log book). It is not in the cache, and there is no retrieve log for it, so it would appear to be lost.

There are five later online logs for the cache as follows:
26/08/2012 By Tympan "...Took nothing and left a little thingo..."
20/09/2012 By Team Crackers
24/09/2012 By Rowers "...TN Left Survival Key ring"
26/09/2012 By Moosetash "...Council guys were trying to get rid of us as it was obviously time for knock off...."
26/09/2012 By Happy pants

The attached photo shows the logs by lgoody and Team Crackers, and there are none on the following page before my log. I have to wonder what the other four found, and I can't understand why the Council guys would care what anyone did within a couple of hundred metres of this cache.

Flutterby (TB332X0) hasn't been sighted since 28 Dec 11 when FishyNitz placed it in Thegoa Lagoon .

As muff1 wrote on 20 Mar 12 " trackable listed as lgged into this cache are not there" and "This TB is not in the cache".

The cache owner needs to mark Flutterby as missing - visit http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=2451606 and click on 'Mark Item Missing' under 'Actions' below 'Trackable Options'.

Catching up with some very old logs. Found while out with Happy Feet and Snap Happy, signed as Nacho92. TFTC.

Sorry for the late lost log. Found while on family holiday in Mildura. Found with Happy pants, Snap Happy and Moosetash. Thanks Stewbies 6.

Find #1218 @ 1645 Hrs ...

A beautiful day to be out & about around Mildura for school holidays... Decided to take in Wentworth and surrounds today...

A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced...

Thanks for bringing me here...

*Cache Condition ~ Fine

A nice easy drive by for a caching run through town today, TFTC

Quick find after looking around town. Interesting that this side of the lagoon is dry and the other is full. Council guys were trying to get rid of us as it was obviously time for knock off. Thanks for the cache.

Found on trip to gluepot
I would hate to try this one during a flood. Thanks for bringing us here.

Traveling to Broken Hill with Dr Who 2 to do the fireworks for their annual show we stopped to pick up few caches on the way. We had decided on a counter lunch here and had to fill in some time before they opened so what better way to do it. We were happy to see no activity either side of the water way today and this made finding the cache a breeze. We added our names to the log and the reflected on which side we would rather be. Not being golfers we headed off to have a quick look around the cemetery before heading off for lunch.
Thanks Stewbies_6 for the cache and history of the area.

Found and logged at 12:25,

The tide was out today so an easy find. Thx Stewbies_6 for the cache.

Found it No. 6475 ... quick find ... TNLN ... TFTC Stewbies 6

A quick find. Would this be a little difficult after lots of rain?

Another fine day in Mildura so we ventured future afield and managed to get some great caches. This was one we targetted and found.
Thanks to Stewbies_6.

Went looking for this before seeing it was off-line. Must remember to check next time ..........

Back in place and good to go

10/11/2011. Late log. Mrs took a walk to the lock with Doc and Geokid 1 while the pikers explored Wentworth's coffee shops before boarding the holiday vessel. Nice easy find. Trip trop trip trop. We all claim this as a find. Took a purple car and left a smiley badge. Went o find the others and some coffee. TFT holiday fun.

HIGH RIVER! AGAIN. Will repost once the flood waters have receded.

An easy find except for the ants, they were everywhere. The two trackable listed as lgged into this cache are not there, hopefully th same fate does not happen to the one we are leaving there today. SL TFTC

Interesting concept of having a bridge between a golf course and the cemetary depending on which way you are going it makes you think when you get to the middle.

WanderingAus wandered by with the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) on day 132 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip. The WanderingMrs had determined through the wonders of the Information Superhighway that there was over a week of line dancing at the Wentworth Services Club, so after a couple of cold, wet and windy days in Horsham, and a night in Ouyen, we made our way to Curlwaa and booked in for five nights.

After an afternoon of exploring and a bit of shopping at Mildura, we headed to the Wentworth Services Club for dinner, then I left the WanderingMrs there for a couple of hours of line dancing and headed out for a bit of night caching.

I needed a cache for my 4,300th find and I was hoping this would be a bit of a challenge at night, so I actually went past it and hunted down GC2A1GW Lock 10 by Stewbies_6 before this cache. As luck would have it when I got near to this one instinct cut in and I made an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find almost without using the gpsr. Still a nice spot I'm sure, but in the dark I couldn't tell.

My find No 4300, LCC, also left Special 4,300th Find Calling Card (a collectors item, see attached photo), TNLNSL, dropped Posh Kat TB (ref = TB3ZJQY), also dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC, my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB and a couple of other travellers in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 3*
