Cache-on-a-plate Werribee, Victoria, Australia
By oldwinebottle on 20-Mar-11. Waypoint GC2QHTM

A little sad to be archiving this one.. It may return one day when I have a little more time to put one together.

I had a look around GZ myself today and it wasn't where it should be.
Will disable until I get the parts to replace it

Only had about 10 mins to look and some of that was chasing the GPS around. With the description other logs and length of time since a find. I am wondering if it is still their. Time will tell do people log their dnf on this time of town.

Very cute find amongst some lovely bush. Thanks for the story and the cache,


OWB!

Exactly as advertised... a clever camo that's obvious to a cacher, but will be ignored by others. Well done.

On a plate for sure

Quick find

I needed a quick and easy find today for the GeosportZ marathon, so checked the available options near Werribee while I was in town. The name of this one attracted my attention, and it lived up to its name, in more ways than one! Thanks for the easy drive-by, cheers!

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of this cache. Then we understood the reason for the name of the cache. A creative and novel cache oldwinebottle - well done. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC.

Nice cache, clever idea and well executed. It was a bit cold and wet about today, if only it was closer to the road and at window seal hieght, so there is no need to leave the car, now that would nifty. Well done oldwinebottle TFTC

Some of my first ever caches were found along the river here a few years back now so it was good to return to Werribee this morning after a caching absence of around 2 years. This was one of 9 I picked up early today and a more apt cache name could not be found.

What a dish! All we needed was the coffee to warm us up on a cold morning.

TNLN . . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt oldwinebottle.

What a novel cache which geohubby found whilst geowife had her plastic bag and picked up plenty of trash hoping that the many muggles passing by in their cars were being distracted in her direction! ! Needed more plactic bags here!! Managed to avoid some muggle youths walking along the path too!

Very clever

Haha, not so much on a plate for me... After a looong day driving from Ballarat and then a detoured way to Werribee I think my brain was a bit fried when looking for this one. I went straight past it, thankfully ST37E backtracked where I searched and found it.
TFTC!

Found the cache today at 10.30am with beanie The cache and the Cache name go together
quite well. No problems locating the hide Signed the log.

Thanks oldwinebottle for the cache

Found while caching with The 2 Wanderers. Loved it..cool container

We were in Werribee last night to help celebrate a mates 40th birthday and during the course of the night we formulated a plan with the Coffee's to do a days caching today. Unfortunately we had a bit too much happy juice and got off to a bit of a late start and it was well after eleven o'clock before we even started on our way. After parting company with the coffees after a great but slow days caching we decided to try for a few more before heading off home. We are happy we chose this one as we enjoy caches with a bit of a twist and this one was no exception, the best so far today.
Our thanks to oldwinebottle for placing this cache

Found 16:40, in the company of Muzza.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks oldwinebottle.

Last stop on the way home, nice easy drive by, clever idea & good to see something different.

I had a birthday party to attend in Geelong and what better excuse to go out caching that a long drive. Fun idea for a cache.

Great hide fun to look for.

TNLN TFTC

Great idea for a cache, and I have to agree it is handed to you on a plate. Quick easy find. Tnln tftc.

Epic - awesome idea found in the cover of darkness - It wasnt until after I signed the log what the title meant Mmmm top cache.

Thx oldwinebottle for a neat cache

After spending the two previous days walking around Melbourne doing caches it was nice to get out of town and not to have to do so much walking. So visiting WA cachers richlink travelled in our direction and we headed off from the Werribee south caravan park to do some caching. Happily we found this cute cache. Thanks oldwinebottle

Travelled by train to Werribee to spend the day caching with Liz and Bruce around the area. A very quick drive by.

hunted on the wrong side for 5 minutes. went round the otherside and spotted it straight away. TFTC

Found with diddysmum 2-10pm

DM saw the cache description of this one and couldn't resist.
Nice easy find with a bit of a chuckle.

TFTC

Loved the description of this one, so since this was my weekend of choosing the caches, we had to do this. I was bamboozled by the useless gps that couldn't make up it's mind and way off when the sock man found it. Excellent idea, oldwinebottle. TFTC!

Very clever! Found with Mattman. And yes i know the feeling of caches not wanting the "joy of the search". Was very impressed by this easy find. thanks

10.45 Out about with geo sister today. Parked close by and with a very short walk we had it in hand. Nice and easy and enjoyed the humor, and two fold use of the resting place.
Thanks for the cache.

Parked in a nearby court and quickly found this cache, very easy to find even without the cache notes.

Found by Ray and Maya at 8:15PM on the 28th of January. We decided to clean a few local caches off the slate in the cool of the evening. A very cute cache. TNLN. TFTC. The Nomads.

Not just the plate, but the dish too. Thanks.

After a very enjoyable day at the Werribee Zoo we headed off to find a few caches before dinner and heading home.
Thanks themd for the cache,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan

As a previous cache said, this ones a bit screwball but hey, why not? The camo is coming off a bit but its still not too bad, thanks oldwinebottle.

Yes - there it was! I pointed it out to my autistic son and he had no trouble putting his hands on it - I think though he was a little confused because he wanted to eat off it. I do like the screwball caches and this is one of them. A favourite point for this I think. TFTC.

Very clever Old Wine Bottle. Tnln. Tftc. 9/01/12 1:31 PM Find #61

Like the camouflage, good presentation.
TFTH. Signed log.

Easy drive by
Good camo

Good to find a cache that makes one smile; and then laugh after reading the description and seeing what it's all about.
Thanks indeed oldwinebottle

Very cute idea for a cache, and nicely executed.
Say thanks to your mum for us.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice easy drive by, constantly felt like someone was coming from behind while I was signing and hiding this cache haha. TFTC

Thanks for a nice easy cache and handing it to us on a plate. TNLNSL

Good one

After finishing the first day of a two day training course early, I set out to find a couple of caches nearby.
After not being successful on a GCA cache, I felt like a simple find, simply just handed to me. This was was perfect and fitted the bill.
The bush cover however isn't looking good, might want to check on that.
Otherwise I appreciate the 'easiness' of this cache and the humour behind it.
Thanks oldwinebottle for this cache.

Didn't award cache favourite point.

The Monday before Melbourne Cup day is always a great day to take off from work. It left me on my own without kids or other commitments. I started my run at about 3 pm in the afternoon and made a great time of it. This time I brought the mountain bike along to grab a few caches on bicycle paths. It was all going well until my puncture at about 10 pm in the evening. Well from then on I just went for some easy drive bys with short walks. The run was a good solo effort picking up quite a number of caches. There were only a few DNF’s so it was well worth the effort. This cache was one I found tonight. Thanks oldwindebottle for the cache.

A good one,like the humour.Took nothing,left nothing.

Quick drive by had this one logged - nice one TFTC

Find # 3305 and 2ndt for the day @ 3:28pm. Its been a while since I cached in my home town but today had a few hours to myself and what a nice day to do it,had to wait for a couple of school kids to walk past them made an easy find, loved the cache hide!!, TNLN, left my mark on the log, Thanx Oldwinebottle....

TFTC

10th find of the day, and 3030th total find at 2:09:00 PM.

After reading the cache page we contemplated logging a DNF, but that really wouldnt have been fair.

Not only is this a cache on a plate, but it provides for dessert too!

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks oldwinebottle for the cache

Found 11.15am
We thought this cache was great, read the cache page and having parked close by made the short walk to GZ to make a quick find. Loved the container, nice one.

Took Nothing

Thanks oldwinebottle

Thanks for setting the table for us - finally, an easy find on this rainy day. Had a hearty laugh, too: this is getting a favourite point from us!

A day trip to Werribee Park Mansion had to include a few caches. Thanks for this easy one, and the sense of humour - just the recipe for my non caching friend to understand the deviation off our route!

Easy find on a very round about trip via colac area, maldon, ballarat and yarra junction trip home from work.. One of 14 for the night and 46(ish) for the trip.. Thanks oldwinebottle for the cache and break in driving.. find #1425

Very clever and I'd imagine quite unique! Thanks for the sarcasm (and the cache).

Took a while to find this in the dark but got it eventually. Now I've had my cache on a plate, how about dome donuts with it! Thanks to oldwinebottle for this one

Well Done oldwinebottle! Clever

I kid you not if we just didn't have brekky at Raffaels ( which was lovely ) I think that Sulli1 may have eaten this cache as she missed out on having the Jelly there . tftc oldwinebottle

Many thanks to oldwinebottle for this one. First time I've seen a cache dished up like this. Found with tackle-head after an outing for brekky, whilst on a day out round the area. TNLNSL.

Easy find in-between traffic muggles. How cute is the cache itself? TFTC

If only I had a knife and fork.
TFTC.

TB visit to cache

I really enjoyed having it handed to me on a plate. I kind of expected something like this, but I had to laugh when I found it. Thanks for the cache.

Found it @ approx. 17:00

What? No cutlery. LOL

A nice easy find on the way home after working in the area.
Nice camo.

Today’s aim was to add a few more smiley faces (when that option returns) in the Werribee/ Altona area. Well this one was handed to me on a plate and I think your Mum has a great sense of humor and yes it was an easy find but then we need a few of them along with the tough ones. Thanks for bringing me here as I wandered over to check out the river before leaving.

I needed a quick find before heading off, so this one fit the bill nicely. I like the container too! Thanks oldwinebottle.

Yep- its a cache on a plate, talk about spoon feeding it can't get much easier than that! Mind you, I actually had to bend over & pick cache up then sign the log..... that took a bit of effort lol!

4187. [font=Century Gothic][green]Nice one Centurion, I like it. On the way for a shopping day (for FFP - I'm caching) in Melbourne while in Geelong on holidays. Expected something like this just not as detailed. Top effort.

The second cache of the day down Werribee way. GabGab and I parked quite close and when we found the cache we had a jolly good laugh. Just what the doctor ordered today, something nice and simple for the father and daughter to find together.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks oldwinebottle for this simple cache to add some enjoyment to a father and daughter outing.

I found this cache with caughtatwork. This was an easy cache to find and I really loved the cache on a plate. I laughed. Thank you.

Found by Mary & David at 1605. Had some errands to do in Werribee this afternoon, so took the opportunity to detour to the cache. Marvellous to have one not very far from home. This area is a local icon and overlooks our "Occasional Island" cache. Love the way this one echoes its theme. Our thanks to oldwinebottle.

The Pisces Travelling Zodiac visited the cache.

One of 46 finds for the night while out with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) for a night cache run down to Geelong. Did a few caches off in Werribee on the way down to Geelong. Managed to get a park close by and then soon had the cache in hand. Cool cache camo. Thanks for the hide oldwinebottle.

One of 46 finds for the night with my good caching mate Marty (Quasar3671) on our Melbourne to Geelong night cache run. When we found this one, it all made sense. We had a bit of a chuckle. TFTC. Great to see something a bit different.

Find # 1979 @ 17:00
Pretty much what I was expecting to find. Nice one. TN Left TB Thanks oldwinebottle

FOUND IT! Yeah! I did look close to the spot, but it was dark, I had a new and very bright LED cycling light that I think just shadowed the hide. Anyway, I didn't find it the first time, I will always blame my tools.

Nice and different type of hide.
Thanks.

Suscoe's 10th find today.
Pays to listen to the wise advice of your mum, even if she is a muggle!!!!!!!!
What a clever hide, it is really nice to see something that we haven't seen before.
Well done to oldwinebottle for this thoughtful solution.
Signed log and had a smile.

I arrived knife and fork in hand ready to find my prey.

A quick search around and I managed to find the clever prey.

No one was any the wiser as I signed the log and continued on my way.

Sorry joffa1970, this was pretty easy. Perhaps some interference from those pesky solar flares hampered with your GPSr on the day you tried to grab this one. Nice sized cache oldwinebottle, with a nice little twist. Perhaps the terrain rating needs to be upped 1/2 a star as 1 star means a cacher in a wheelchair can grab this one, which is not true for this cache.
- M

Last of the day before returning to my duties, was a little disappointed there was no food as I forgot to bring snacks and was starving.

A great idea for a cache

TFTC

Sorry to spoil the simplicity of this hide. Found plenty of spiders, nearly collected by a cyclist without lights on, should have been easier to find. I hope it still there!
I always log a DNF if that is what I walk away with.
