Hopefully this series was enjoyed by all, The Turn will stay online, but this one and the prestige are offline.

Agree with previous cacher. We could not find thid one on sundayand have come to the same conclusion given the amount of damage.>:-(

Will get down there and have a look as soon as i get the chance

Hoped to finish off this series this afternoon but couldnt find this one The tree my GPS was pointing at looked like it had been masacred. I found a likely hide but nothing was inside. Maybe it has been muggled or I was just looking in the wrong place?

Found it No. 4816 ... NEEDS A NEW LOG BOOK ... quick find ... TNLN ... TFTC 379Jonti379

Out on a bike ride and after coffee's and iced chocolate from "drive through coffe" headed over to this one. Will have to get "The Prestige" now that we have the required clues.

Nice easy find. TNLN TFTC.

This cache was found on my trip to Victoria and New South Wales for the Oz Mega event at Albury. Great trip which included finding over 230 caches in the 6 days.

TFTC

Could see the cache from the road, so covered better after find

Out and about for a few quiet caches after the local Easter celebrations today. Found as the muggles over the road emptied themselves from their vehicle. Left before they noticed me

Did this one at night 'cos of the houses right across the street. I missed the point of this one.

[^] Had fun finding this one and was surprised to find that we have been walking past it on a regular bases whilst walking the dog!

Found with Fred6603 on our 2nd day in Bendigo on the way south.
Another quick easy find. TFTC,

Found at 1715 in the company of Roostaman. This one was a little easier to find than its companion. Now off to The Prestige.

Thanks 379Jonti379.

Greetings from New Zealand, Cheers YuGeo4

The first of your caches.
I found this one as we arrived in Bendigo for a few days holiday. Noticed the extra co-ords and took a copy of them just in case I would find the others in the series. My son loves magic tricks and practised a few years ago.
TFTC 379Jonti379

Good morning Geocache to start the New Year. Pleasant bike ride between the 2.

Nice cache brought back good memorys of my childhood of catching lizzards in there.

Found both The Pledge and The Turn with Aveen. Now off to the Prestige!

Found at 4.50pm. I was out hunting for a few caches to place some TB's in. This one was hidden well, but I expect it to be muggled eventually, so I didn't put any TB's in it. Thanks for the cache King Jonti.

A nice quick pick up, quickly spotted by bogonghazy. Found on a daytrip to the area to retrieve our Secret Santa KK's. Log signed. Thanks again Jonti

Quick find with SUlly1 but we forgot to get the co-ords for the puzzle.
Oh well, another day, thanks again 379Jonti379

Great cache, found it on the second attempt today.

Can't wait to find the next cache in the series!

You know how it is.
You have a target to reach.
Ours was 1500 by the end of the year.
Mrs Riddell thought that it was a good idea to go caching after work on one of the longest days of the year.
She planned to go where there was lots of caches and Bendigo region was chosen as a likely target area.
We departed Riddells Creek at around 5pm bound for the goldfields.
By now it was well after 10 pm and really dark!
This was cache No. 14 for the trip.
With torch in hand Mrs Riddell headed into the shadows with Mr Riddell guiding with the GPSr.
Another very easy find that did not involve a bushbash.
And having found it, of course, we had to finish the series!
TFTC Jonti

Goood cache

Having got half the required info this had to be the next cache on my list. Information gathered, location of the puzzle cache plotted - damn, I'm going the wrong way, it will have to wait for another trip.

Thanks for the cache Jonti.

Had to revisit this cache as the information need for "Prestige" had been transposed.

Super fast find! Got the coords. Will have to leave that for another day though...too much important stuff to do (like the groceries so the family may eat!). TFTC and looking forward to putting the clues together. Cheers!

The Coordniates to "The Presteige" have been switched between this cache and The Turn, if you have found "The Turn" or this cache before I made the switch, please drop me an email and I can send through the other half.

Jonti.

I pledge you my troth. Clear skies from TeamAstro.

The park needs a mow. The grass is almost up to your armpits.

Nice place to hide a cache. Found quickly on a nice afternoon. TFTC!

SnapHappy1 made this find on a delightful afternoon on the way to Bendigo.
A nice walk to stretch the legs and a cache in an interesting spot.
Thanks for bringing us here.

I think we may have been expecting more of a challenge for this one! It was a pleasant surprise on a very cold morning.

Our first for our big weekend in Bendigo, just to go caching! Easy find. I forgot to write down the numbers, however I am here until tomorrow and the other one is disabled, so I wont be able to get the Prestige anyway. Thanks

Easy find, TNLN. TFTC!

An easy find, pity that The Turn was offline during my Bendigo sojourn, as I missed out on the bonus puzzle as a consequence.

Found with McPhan. TFTC

4440. [font=Century Gothic][green]The first find on my trip to Bendigo or Bendighetto as the boys called it. FFP decided yesterday to come out with me early and early it was. Quick find and of course forgot to get the required co-ords. With The Turn off-line I guess next year I can revisit this spot and grab the whole series.

Nice quick find.

Thanks 379Jonti379. TNLN.

This was the first one I found all by myself, was pretty excited and the neighbours across the road were wondering what I was doing I think!!!

We've come to Bendigo today for the Easter Fair & to do some caches as well. This was a nice easy one, no TB though. SL. TFTC.

Our Personal GPS TB visited and a coin or 2

Found with Mum & Dad.
Dad said someone had written that they had muggered the cache.
I hope nothing is missing.
TFTC

This one was found easily but the last note in the logbook said the cache had been "Muggered and that it was robbed" as well.
The writing looks to be that of a young child.
Hopefully they didn't take anything valuable.
TFTC Jonti.

Found late afternoon with geo gson - exposed might have been muggled no TB.

A quick grab while down in the area attending the Pre-Easter event.

Thanks for the cache 379Jonti379
