The Big Pineapple Eaglehawk, Victoria, Australia
By Crazy Creels on 30-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2N3QN

We've decided to archive this one as it's served it's purpose.

Found at 4.05pm 2nd attempt on this cache, first attempt was about two months ago.

Drove past the location, a muggle was sitting there, so kept driving to a Romax cache at Lake Neangar. Found the Romax one .."Finally", and then proceded back to the Big Pineapple. Muggle was gone, I found the cache about 5 seconds after getting in the shade of the tree.

Did the log, Took Nothing (naturally - tiny cache). TFTC. Glad that this one is logged as found.

found at 4.10pm today. Tricky find, well done. TFTC

second look found it

micheena - had us puzzled, but eventually came up with find. Just returned to the car, when a muggle walked out from where we had just been. That was close, but he came to the car. Apparently someone the other day couldn't find "that gps thingy thing". We told him we had and he went on his way.

This was tricky for us but found eventually. That to help by Rissl

ould not find it. I don't know why Bendigo caches are so difficult for me,found 4 out of 10. Micro's & no clues perhaps.

01/10/11 good hide

On our way back to Echuca after spending all day in Bendigo...short search before Ms Bushies2 found it. Thanks Crazy Creels.

My sister in law just started caching recently and she took her kids out to find this on the weekend. I got a call from her asking if I had don it as they couldn't find it. I said no and of course couldn't stop thinking about it after that- I had to go out to see if I could find it.
Met them there after work a couple of days later. A bit of searching- rereading previous logs, searching, reading logs again and then we found it! Off to do some more around Eaglehawk now that I am out here...

It was third time lucky for us today - so many spots to put a cache. With the help of the PAF lifeline we finally enjoyed the fruit of the search.

TNLN . . SL: . . Thanks for the hunt Crazy Creels.

We thought the adjacent motel would have been cheap. It was not. But there was a cache so all was good.

Never happy looking for a cache on one of these. So many hiding locations.

Found with Big Matt and Shell, steeba and The Rats during a quick 4 day bash down to Victoria.

This one was found quickly in the rather obvious location.

Thanks Crazy Creels for the cache.

Out for a caching road trip through parts of Victoria with FarmerFrenzten, Steeba and Big Matt & Shell. This was one of the many caches we found.

The big pineapple has nothing on this big pineapple. Found it after a short search.
Thanks

Found with Big Matt and Shell, Farmer Frentzen and The Rats on our 'victrip2011'.

We were lucky with this one as sometimes with these you could spend some time searching. TFTC!

Our 5360th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our Victoria Invasion trip. I think we got lucky with this one. When we pulled up our hearts sank but the cache was found quickly.

Thanks to Crazy Creels for the cache.

Found ages ago but forgot to log it in. Not exactly sure of the date but would be pretty close. Why is it it takes us so long to get around to doing the ones that are closest to home.

Found this one after standing back and having a look. Just finished when a bus pulled up. Thanks for the cache.

Didn't have any luck on this one, even with some big clues in the logs. Thanks anyway

Neat clever hide great spot took a little while but not
to long Signed the log TFTC

Nope, too far south for the namesake so I didn't find it on principal (and not because I'm crap!)

Took longer to find than it should have. Great hide. Well hidden and easily obtainable. If you stand back and have a good look before touching anything, the hiding spot will almost jump out at you and you won't damage anything.

Nice hide. Found without having to see if the pineapple was ripe! TFTC.

Discreet observation was required

quick and easy find thanks crazy creels

Well, well there is much to be said.. but just looking around says it all.. poor pineapple' Thanks either way, t'was no problem for me.

#1156 @ 1.55pm. Tried at this location twice today - the first time the parade was in full swing and heaps of locals were enjoying the shade of the area. We decided looking at this time would be too conspicuous so moved on to a few other caches. When we returned, the parade had finished and everyone was wandering back to their cars - this time the Queen soon had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC Crazy Creels [^]

I knew exactly what caught your eye when you named this one, but it is NOT a pineapple!
There are a few chunks now missing from the trunk too after one too many enthuiastic cachers
have been this way.
Found quite quickly with a bus pulling up just as I was leaving.
TFTC

Glad no bus arrive so I have a time to look for the container. Signed the log. Thanks Crazy Creels.

Sat in car while boys retrieved this one as shop owner was watching on.... quick find and a cool tree TNLN TFTC

Big tree! TFTC TNLN

2nd and final cache of the day, Pauls Pinnaple!

The cache was found after a quick search, and we signed the log.

Thanks for the cache guys.

Jonti.

Found after a trip to the market - think you guys must be in need of a tropical holiday. TFTC

It was a busy spot here, and plenty of hazards to dodge, including the bus and other cachers! Great spot for a cache Crazy Creels, and I hope people take care of the 'pineapple' when searching. Be gentle!

Ah, that sort of pineapple! A few possibilities but happily a coordinated approach soon found the hide, thanks Crazy Creels.

Found whilst out caching with tackle_head after the Flash Mob. Very sad to see this beautiful specimen being ripped apart by cachers though
Thanks to Crazy Creels.

Found at 4.30pm with Harrowang...it's a lovely palm...I reckon stand back and ponder before looking! SL TFTC Crazy Creels

One find of 60 for the day with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and a couple of my kids, Jasmine and James on our second "Big Bendigo Cache Bash...." In town for the events as well of course.

Met up with some fellow cachers, the owners of Nelson's Cannons (the previous cache we did) at GZ which made it a very easy find.. TFTC.

Found by Roma and Max with our friends The Swaggies and one old bloke!
All eyes were brought into bare here today and your well hidden container was found with no disturbance of the local environment.
Thanks CC's for another unusual theme.
Romax.

We should rename Geocaching to "The people to pull apart tree's"

Attempted to find in the company of coley_babee and the walenators on a Bendigo caching run after the days events in town.
No luck this evening though in locating it.
Thanks anyways Crazy Creels.

Found this one with Team Boofa between events today. TFTC Crazy Creels

Up in Bendigo today for the Flash Mob and Marong meet and greet events. Met up with my mate Blacklegend (Marshy) and cached together for the day; which was rather warm and getting progressively humid as well. When we arrived at GZ, there was a couple there already just signing the cache; who turned out to be the owners of the last cache we did 'Nelson's Cannon'. We sat and had a chat for a while, then signed the log and rehid the cache. Thanks for the hide.

No Luck, didn't find it

Found by Iain and Daff with our friends Romax and one old bloke.
In this case we did not want add to the destruction of this tree so we used our powers of observation first before locating the cache. Hopefully after this weekend the tree will get some time to recover.
Thanks Crazy Creels for the cache.

As we were driving into this one Covert tells me that the car ahead could be another caching team.. we were soon parked up and heading over in stealth mode and found ourselves muggling Team Boofa and MsJam, I half expect they recognised us from earlier in the day and we were helping them search in no time.. once i gave up on my GPS and stopped trying to get electrocuted by the lighting wire above the post I put my observation skills to use and quickly made the find.. Thanks Crazy Creels for another new cache.. one of 70 odd that we found whilst in the area for the two events..

we arrived at area with Emmas Jam only to see 2 males heading our way....with 5 searches on tthe job cache quickly located...SL TFTC

Found at 4.30pm in the company of Markndee & one of their Rosebuds. The Rosebud was quick to find this one and very happy with herself! SL and on our way to find a few more before the Marong Family Hotel Event. TFTC Crazy Creels

Found with the help of The Swaggies and Romax, on an afternoon's caching after the Flash Mob event in the Mall.
We can only hope that our conservation genes kick in and that the Pineapple survives the onslaught of overzealous searchers. Signs of deterioration already.

Found with sully1 on a caching afternoon in between the events - tftc Crazy Creels

Found while in Bendigo for the Flash Mob Event.Nice Pineapple.
TFTC Crazy Creels

Jumped in the car and thought "which one will Romax be at". Took a chance and headed to this one first. As I drove around the corner there was Romax searching. Bugger.
As I walked up they were in the car, so I began to search. As they drove off I was having trouble spotting it. It didn't help that the nearest residence had their front door wide open and were visible to me. 15 minutes later cache was found and log signed. My eyes must be playing up because I didn't see any other marks in there.Found at 14.10

Found at 9.20pm. Not a fan of these hides, as we have seen these hiding spots get ripped apart. Thanks for the cache.
