What a clever hide TFTC

JTreeTrack2 was out and about with Mr Dromaniax and the company of our Muggle parents. They Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the sites, the effort gone in to placing caches in fascinating areas and places. The caches that we came across were all in good condition and were signed and returned as found. Thankyou to all the effort that has gone into placing the cache. Sorry for the generic log, my logging has 7 months of unloved. Thanks again for placing this cache.

I was out and about with JTreeTrack2 and our parents. We decided to take Mum and Dad away for a trip down memory lane, and while out and about, we were picking up some caches along the way.We spent two days travelling around the central North region of Victoria and had some fantastic weather.All caches we found were in excellent condition unless otherwise noted.Thankyou tigersden for this Traditional cache

Found by Omegaman1971

On the way home after after hitting St Arnaud yesterday, it's always great to be out and about exploring parts of Victoria that I rarely see.

Cheers for the great cache.

Found with Omegaman1971

After tackling the new trail in St Arnaud we decided to take the long way home to enable us to complete every available side tracked cache in Victoria.

This is one of the caches found on route.

Thanks tigersden For the cache.

What a great hide. Many thanks

We are spending a few days in the area caching and detecting. So far so good weather wise. Just love the bush so much

Definitely need little hands. Oh maybe not ?? TFTC

Out with dot558 on weekend in this area and heading back as the sun sets
Great cache

We arrived in Eddington today after spending a few days in St Arnaud arriving there on Sunday where we decided to stay for a couple of days before continuing our journey to Bendigo. Here we caught up with our good friends Tyred n Cranky and Fuf009, while we were here we also met up with ChooknChunk.
Here at Eddington we were impressed with the town, the area and the camp spot behind the hall, fantastic just fantastic. The multi here was very informative. From here we have journeyed to Dunolly, We had a wonderful lunch at the bakery and a great tour around town using geocaching as our tour guide.

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a well designed cache which reflected mining operations. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks tigersden for a great cache - it earns a favourite from us.

Find it Really creative love this one

This one was in a cool spot! Nothing in the cache though, but I popped in a little something for the next explorer to find.

This one is tucked into a nice niche, nice hide, thanks

Tricky lil retrieval method. Thanks for the cache and hide,

###**CACHE OWNER PLEASE NOTE**###

----------

This cache would seem to have had some welcomed action on behalf of the CO by a Good Samaritan - 'Papi4506 ' & 'chooknchunk ', so it fortunately lives for another day.

Please remember that cache maintenance arrangements need to be proactive, not reactive. This means regular visits (by the CO) to check on the cache and not relying on or expect passing seekers to fix issues or replace missing caches.

Even though a Good Samaritan has addressed the issue, there is still a need to remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute - see here: [**Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon.**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and then Enable the cache - see this link: [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) .

**I have removed the NM attribute and Enabled the cache for you on this occasion.**

This was a great hide that was found without any trouble. Every page in the log has at least one signature on it but there was plenty of room left. Chook replaced the cache anyway hoping that maybe this cache can continue for a bit longer. Thank you for placing it for us to find.

Found today on a caching escape with Geoturtle37.
We noted the Needs Maintenance on this cache for a full logbook, so we brought some fresh sheets with us. The original log was getting full, but there were still places where names could have been added. Nevertheless we replaced the logsheet to prevent further complaints from lazy cachers who can't be bothered to look for the blank spaces. The cache is otherwise in great condition and it is a nice clever hide. TFTC tigersden and for bringing us to these old diggings. We have the original logbook with us if you wish to keep it.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there tigersden,

One or more logs indicate that this cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, so it is being temporarily disabled. This is to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache are investigated/addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current Covid-19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache straight away, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO.

**You do need to respond within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this cache. Please don't let a lack of communication kill this placement.**

#What you should do now:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a 'Write Note' log indicating an expected date when you you hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
**The Write Note log should be placed within 14 days.**

#Please Note#
When a Reviewer next looks in on this cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the Reviewer will assume the cache has been abandoned and process accordingly.

Another quick easy find TFTC

TFTC love aussie gold hunters tv show

Was easier than i thought. TFTC

After a lovely morning catching up with friends at the Geocaching event in nearby Avoca, I spent the morning and early afternoon chasing some caches on my way to an event in Tarnagulla. This was the last find before running out of time for the next event. Once I started 'fishing', all was well and the cache was easily retrieved.

Found a bit of space to put our name.
It’s the original logbook too... a bit of history in itself. It’s been folded that many times that it’s nearly torn in 3 bits.
Soon it will need replacing.
TFTC and bring us to these diggings.

Very sneaky hide, but patience paid off . TFTHide.

TFTC tigersden Spending our Easter in the area and took the opportunity to put some smiley faces on. Great that you continue to maintain these for us to find and exploring the area and its history. TNLN. Sneaky, Sneaky All good at GZ

Found as we made our way to Wedderburn caching as we go (of course!!)

Today we were driving our daughter home to where she now lives in Moliagul because she was still too high on pain meds after having her tonsils out. On the way home I had to stop for a quick cache for my cache a day streak and because it was raining I chose a quick park and grab here in Dunolly.
Super quick find even leaving the GPS in the car.
Thank you tigersden for the hide

Rampant ants on the tree had me keeping close eye on my footing and where my fingers went. CIGC TNLN TFTC

GPS was bouncing around a bit here. The geosenses got me the find this time. TFTC!

Finally logging the rest of the caches we did on our Mega getaway.

Monday we were heading home from the St Arnaud Mega, and thought we would break the trip home with a few caches.

I can't recall ever checking out the town of Dunolly and so today was the day.

Lots of interesting historic things to see around the town.

Thanks for the cache tigersden.

In Dunolly for the St Arnaud MEGA with my dearest friend Kato Potato and we decided that rather than head back to the MEGA, we'd take the circuitous route home to Gippsland by cleaning out Dunolly and picking and choosing on our way home. A quick park n grab while we admired the diggings; a landscape feature that continued throughout the remainder of our morning. TFTC tigersden

In the area for the St Arnaud Mega event and once again privileged to be able to spend the whole weekend with Mummy Short Legs on a mum's weekend away, our scared annual Caching Adventure without the families in tow.

After spending a lovely two nights in the area we decided we needed to make sure that we honoured the local caches by finding as many as we could before setting off home today. This was find 4 for the day and another great park and to get on such a chilly morning. TFTC tigersden

It’s right next to my house which I’ve lived in my whole life. Crazy

Quick park and grab
