Logs
Didn't find :'( looked on every magnetic surface including the light post after a passing motorist called out an early morning hint to us.
The cache maker and I are on holidays from Queensland and finding a few caches along the way.
we used a torch and a mirror, but found zilch - nothing
Thanks for the hunt

Details suggested search when area quiet!!! Whilst searching and viewing hint that indicated 'magnetic' I was approached by a concerned person asking 'Are you alright - do you need help'!!! Decided to give up before others approached me!!Details mentioned 'this Mildura'. I am sure there must have been a magnetic strip on the sign.
Found it with Geo-rge, Miss Jane & EMDH whilst on our return road trip from WA to Vic.
It was a quick find. Thanks for bringing us to this part of OZ.

I had the pleasure of the company of CPwanderer and DennisC52 for a caching trip to Mildura.
We saw lots of rain on our first day but then dry sunshine for the last two days.
We locus cache'd a few caches (121 finds and 13 DNFs) and all in all had a great time, especially on some of the state forest dirt roads!
Yes, there were police involved (twice) but luckily no fines!
I had deliberately left this cache until time to leave Mildura as the easiest way to find the carvan park again was to tell the GPSr to get me to this cache
A quick find and I also replaced the container with a Zantac tube with a lid so the log will hopefully remain dry.

A quick find although the cache was lidless. LocusCache replaced the container! Thanks cruisinblues for the hide!!!
WE searched high and then found the cache on the ground minus a lid,log book and magnet.
Definately needs maintenance.
Put back as near as possible to where we believed GZ to be.
Caching with the x-trailers.
Took trackables to visit.

On our way out of Mildura heading off to Dubbo we stopped to collect this one. I had figured out where it was yesterday just couldn't collect it because of all the traffic.
Thanks for the cache cruisinblues

This is our 1st full caching day around the Mildura area headed out to Merbein & on to Wentworth.
Have seen lots of grapes, & some great views of the mighty Murray.
The quality of the caches have been exceptionally good.
Boy you have to be quick to retrieve this with all the traffic that goes past here.

Here from Canada, doing a bit of caching as we explore Australia....
Had to go back 3 times to get this one there were so many muggles around. Luckily we were staying in the nearby caravan park!

nice quick easy find

The Cache came back! - A car ran into the sign and smashed it up. The sign was taken away.... 3 days later it was back with the cache intact. Yay!
This was our 2nd cache find in the caching run & we found it at 10:42
So this now makes our total find count 5776.

We are spending a week caching around Mildura with Phetlern. Today we spent a really enjoyable half day caching on our own while Phetlern attempted some of the longer multi caches that we have already done.
Looking at the map, it appears that we have finally cleared out the town grid (until more caches are placed of course.)
It's really great to get a former DNF off our list. Today the find was just so easy!

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.

We spent a rather hot morning spent matching pictures of Grand Designs and Prime Real Estate of Mildura. After a lunch break to cool off and recharge our batteries, we set out to finalise some local caches, hey luckily for us the sprinklers were working on the grass!

Found on the way Swan Hill,via hay. Finding somewhere to park we took a drive through the Woolies car park only to see a large group of people standing in a few groups woolies staff standing altogether,wonderingwhat was going on. Everyone started to walk away, think they must have had a fire drill.TFTC
Brillant late at night not many muggle's.. loved it 2nd ever find, i think the fish finders are HOOKED
Spending a couple of days in Mildura so thought we would kill some time by finding a few caches. Nice easy find. TNLN. TFTC. Richard and Hazel. UK.
Sorry cruisinblues for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks cruisinblues for placing this cache.
Well this one was interesting with muggle city surrounding on a warm night. Quickly found, retrieved signed and replaced. TFTC
6746. [green]It was still early enough that not many people were around at all and fewer here - except for the buggy rider. Once she passed us the find was made. [/green]

A quick stop on our long drive back east. Still early so not too many muggles about.
Thanks cruisinblues.

#564 - Mr F found this one as he approached GZ - no idea how - his instincts were warm that day! Great location, had a bit of trouble with the many muggles around, but signed and returned and we were off again. TFTC cruisinblues
Nice hide lots of muggles but they were looking at the grass fire in the garden across the road tftc
9th find for the day for the teamkross and lynnie7267 Boxing Day tour. Nice quick find. Hung around to watch nearby garden fire. TFTC
This was a fun one. Walked up by myself on a Sunday morning. It took me a little while to find it. Tried to not look too dodgy! Had a chat with a local man on his way to the supermarket.
After a bit more looking I found it. Great hide! Tricky to rehide without looking too suss! Glad I did this at such a quiet time.

Found by Mary & David at 0930. Our first full day in glorious Mildura. Blue skies, unlike yesterday when we travelled from Swan Hill. Second and Third generations are going on the orange tour and we'll meet up for the afternoon boat cruise. No problems finding this nicely placed cache. Our thanks to cruisinblues.
Was heading in to town after completing a couple of caches out toward the airport. Driving past this intersection I suddenly remembered that there was a cache nearby. I did not have the coordinates at hand, and so resolved to find it "BFE style." A satisfying find. TFTC.
P.S. The pencil in the cache is broken, so bring either a sharpener or a pen

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo.
We engineered a magnetic replacement for this one...same bat place, same bat time. Pull the tail. Push it back up out of muggles eyes.
A day of caching from West Wyalong - the town just west of Wyalong down the road to Mildura A road trip with a chance to stretch the legs with a cache is a good thing. A day of plastic dinosaurs in caches - it had everything!!
Thanks to cruisinblues and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Nice hide! I was just able to manage the retrieve. Nice quick find in the company of Plums26. Cache # 1,395. Off to do some shopping and a spot of lunch.
Found it No. 6455 ... quick find needed the hint ... TNLN ... TFTC cruisinblues
Found with geo child on our way home after completing the Wandering hero's series. We are trying to fit in as many caches as we can on the way home down south. After get some accommodation next door to this cache decided we would give it a go, the only problem is being short made this difficult and with the muggles around couldn't get this without being seen so decided to wait till we left first thing in the morning at 5.30am. There was still plenty of traffic about but manged to grab this one with my new caching tool that I got. I am surprised the difficulty rating is not higher for this one with the amount of muggles around. Thanks for the challenge cruisinblues.
After getting settled into a caravan park in Mildura it was time to head off and get some caches - this was one we targetted and were able to find. Good to see such a nice lots of caches and creative hides.
Thanks to cruisinblues.

Very busy on a Saturday arvo. Retrieved with stealth and signed log. Thanks cruisinblues.
Found quickly on a fairly cold Saturday morning. Definitely a busy intersection. TFTC!
This is certainly a very busy intersection. We looked at possible hide sites in the immediate vicinity of where our GPS units indicated GZ should be but without success. Then we started to check locations by feel and the cache was detected. Retrieval was quite easy. TFTC crusinblues.
Had a look but it was dark.
Well that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it
Too hard for us tonight.

Our 2nd DNF today.
We spent quite some time here at around 4:03:00 PM, but couldn't locate the cache.
Cache blindness perhaps, maybe we will return another day.

Coords seemed a little out for me, but the others found it in the obvious spot. Cheers Gav [11249]
Found it on the long way home to Adelaide via Wagga Wagga. Waited for a decent break in muggle presence, then a quick grab. TFTC.
Found on way to ozmega with schnail, stopped overnight and enjoyed a morning walk caching before continuing to albury. Tftc
ITS WHERE? GOT IT #2,944
Well we almost did not stop, but we pulled up the caravan and did the walk, got our name in the log, that's what counts
