Aunt Pearl's Missing Jewel's (Diamond) Bunyip, Victoria, Australia
By Bounty Trackers on 31-May-11. Waypoint GC2X9Z5

hidding spot has gone so it time to go

will check on soon

See photo

Trying to catch up on finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

Out on a caching outing with Coley_Babee.
Building works going on here, didn't give it too much of a look. Already looks as though the issue has been addressed.

Thanks anyways Bounty Trackers for this cache.

Could not find. Some recent maintence may have disrupted it

Pulled up to this one today to find the cache and what what left of its contents scattered over the lawn, We collected what we could and placed it back where we assume it was meant to be. was unable to sign the log as it was wet from being out in the weather will have to come back again.

Nice hide. Took a little looking but end up all good. TFTC. Kems

We also found the repair kit, but have not got all the jewels yet! Looking forward to finding the others:)

Today was the second day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns today between Melbourne and Sale and were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. Despite being overcast at times and some very infrequent drizzle, we have had an excellent day. We have always wanted to visit Bunyip, mainly because of the attarction of the name of the town. Playgroup was in session when we arrived near GZ but all had arrived earlier and no muggles interferred withour search. A quick find was made although a long arm was need to retrieve the cache. We signed the log but WOE! NO DIAMONDS!! The bag was empty - we were shattered (well not really, but we do hope that it doesn't create problems later in the series). TFTC Bounty Trackers

Stopped off at the next location on the itinery of the busy Aunt Pearl. I located the cache thankfully, but there were no more diamonds left today. I hope this means that they have been safely returned to her. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC!

Found by Bob at 1245

After checking the logs for this one, I figured it would be the most tricky in the series - so I counted myself as lucky when I managed to spot it after a short wait for the satellites to settle down. It was the 4th in the series for me today and I took the last diamond (which didn't have a hole in it - so I couldn't add it to my string ).

Thanks yet again Bounty Trackers

Yay! Found after some time because some elderly muggles thought we'd lost a dear pet. Came back when they were gone. TFTC! P.s running low on diamonds

Took a bit of a search but eventually got it tftc

Found @1510 #1144
This is the 3rd Aunt Pearl's cache found so far and had to wait for some muggles to past by before grabbing the cache. Took a jewel to return to Aunt Pearl soon.
TFTC Bounty Trackers, another of yours completed today.

TFTC; maybe early morning or late night, who knows; easy find and took jewel. Found by TeamMorno (Hazey1 + Saulman1010)

Team Morno (Mornington), Consisting today of Hazey1 and myself out and about on a kid free weekend, today a trip to Yarragon's progressive garage sale and grab a few caches on the way. Heading back West now on our way home, nighttime caching!
Grabbed a diamond and we are off. Very late now, I think its really the 29th
TFTC

8th find of the day, and 3244th total find at 12:20

We (sort of) retraced Aunties journey but unfortunately some of her baubles must have been found by other seekers.

It seems that diamonds are a girls best friend, but threading the bauble on to the thread was a task and ahalf for Penny without her glasses.


Took: Diamond
Left: Nothing
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache

Found by The Empire @ 4:25pm
Find number 12 of 16 in the cold, windy 'summer' weather. Picked up my diamond, thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

A fairly quick find at another country hall that must have seen some dancing. TFTC T: diamond L: pathtag

Topped up jewels all is ok

Nice quick find, but there was no Diamond gem to complete our set.

On a series run but no diamond available to complete the set.

01-01 5th find of the day at 14:33 and 1362nd find in total.
Took the last diamond but wasn't very fond of the spot.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks Bounty Trackers for the caching fun!

I have loved seeing all these old halls. If only their walls could talk.
Found in an obvious 'Aunt Pearl' fashion.

Only one diamond left in cache.

Found on caching run with four legends. TFTC

Took a little longer to find this one as we overlooked its hiding place.

After not succeeding with my last jewel attempt, I felt a little disheartened, but went for this one too!!

wandered along looking in obvious areas, till I could see the cache.

Grabbed it, and obtained Aunt Pearl's Diamond.

Took Diamond, left nothing signed log

TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1145. Mary actually had an Aunt Ruby, and she had two sisters called Coral and Pearl. Had to wait a while here until muggles in cars nearby moved on. Our thanks as usual to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

The GPS was uncertain as I approached this one and so I spent a minute or two looking in the wrong place. I then made an approach from a different angle in order to triangulate and found the cache quickly.

We had no luck with the cache in the park today because there were a heap of bored kids here on the swings so we headed up to this one to try our luck. In between passing cars we managed to grab, log and replace the cache. Took a diamond and there were about 5 left I think. Headed back to the park but the kids were still there so we left to go home. It would have been the second time we looked for a cache on the same structure, wonder if was in the same place..

Found 16:25, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

Another quick easy find

On my way home with Xambo4U and Roulette after spending the weekend at Rawson with a group of square dance friends.
Quick easy find, but we did have to get out our touchs in order to find it.
TFTC

6.30 On the way back from a great weekend with a group of squares in Rawson. Checking out a a few caches on the way with Toycar and Roulette. Nice easy drive by and another jewel to add to the necklace. Love these old towns, we miss seeing them now as the highway pass them by.
Thanks for the cache.

EASY FIND we are loving this series - thank you so much!

No jewels, good hide.

Found this one today - ah the elusive diamond. I had searched once before with Irontoad unsuccessfully but today I looked again and was determined to find it and I did.

Thanks for the cache The Bounty Trackers look forward to completing all the rest of the series at a later date.

Another in the series ticked off.
thanks again The Bounty Hunters, hope I get a chance to finish this one off

coodinadtes seems right and the zero point seemed to match the theme. but no cache. nvere mind

We might have been looking for diamonds but his one turned out to be gold. If only I HAD filmed this search. Nautilus will know what I mean. You had to be there, sorry. Another nice little hide by THE BOUNTY TRACKERS in the series. Thanks guys.

Found TFTC

We are trying to see how long we can go finding a cache a day and after a DNF at Trot a Lot we continued here, this cache a day is turning out to be harder than we first thought. We arrived at the hall Aunt Pearl visited and fortunately there were no functions on tonight, but the pub just up the road was in full swing! A quick search and we were able to locate part of Aunt Pearls lost family inheritance. We can see how she could have lost them as the step nearby is very high and after a few shandy's and being in a hurry to get to the FJ she could have easily had a tumble, luckily it was not serious. At least we can let her know they were not stolen.
Thanks again THE BOUNTY TRACKERS we are slowly working our way through this great series.

#676 5th of 9 on a trip SE of Melb taking advantage of a beautiful day (every day is a good day for caching but some, like today, are just better than others!). Regards to Aunt Pearl - I doubt we'll have time to find all of them for her, altho' this is the 3rd in the series today. Thanks THE BOUNTY TRACKERS. Left Taxa dog coin from Holland.

Found this one...enjoy this fun game
TFTC

Headed out for a night cache run along the Princes Hwy to find some of the new caches along the route. Found this one while on the way back home. Third of the jewel finds for the night. I imagaine this could be a nightmare to get during certain hours of the day, luckily at night there wasn't a soul about. Log signed and jewel collected. Thanks for the hide.

Caching day
Found it
TFTC

Phew, thank heavens for the Walenators!! We would have been here for a lot longer otherwise!! tftc

This was cache # 13 of 15 finds on a days, while out caching with my new caching partner Crazy! Nat Girl. Diamonds are a girls best friend they say! My thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS for the cache.

This was the last in the series, i keep telling Rebel Acts Diamonds are a girls best friend.

Found with the Earthbound Team and Wileyclan on a massive caching day. We searched for ages at the Gz, but it took the trusty walenator to make the find in a spot that everyone else had checked. Thanks The Bounty Trackers. TFTH...SL....TNLN

Today we had a bit of an assault on the area going with a team comprising of walenators, wileyclan and Earthbound Chief, which ended up being quite long and fruitful!

Wow, it is fresh here in the hills. Arriving at the cache site, we all piled out of the cars and started our search of the area. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Yep, all three teams came up with nothing. OK, must be here lets look again. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

What? You kidding me? We can't miss one or else we might as well give the series away. Have another look. OK.

Nothing. Nothing. Oh yeah. Thanks to walenators who finally found the cache in a spot he had already checked as well we had the beautiful diamond in hand and were on our way again.

Thanks once more for the cache The Bounty Trackers


Cheers

Lovely old hall. TFTC

Yay got another one!

Found on our jaunt with the Walenators and Wiley clan. TFTC

well, we came to a very big halt here!! looked everywhere but diamonds must be very elusive!! we actually got mixed up and thought this was the "repair" stop and found a little something that we thought might have been it. but alas, no, we were at the wrong cache!!!! took a photo anyway so will download it.
tftc that we did not find, but will go back real soon!!

Found with Geo Gemzy starting to wonder if aunt pearl had some serious bling.sl tftc

We notice that Aunt Pearl was having trouble locating her jewels so we thought we would give her a hand locating them.
We arrived at GZ, a quick search and we had the cache in hand and now three of the jewels.
Thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS for this cache and series.

Thanks Bounty Trackers for another cache in the series. A nice quick find. TFTC

*FTF* My fifth FTF for the day. Having been in Sale when this series got published it put me in the perfect spot to chase it. I enjoyed collecting the stones along the way. Not sure what to expect at the end. TFTC

Enjoyed the local drive finding lost treasures with GeO_LIGHTLY. Thanks for providing some new local caches.
