After a couple of dnf and some considerable damage to the site at gz i will be archiving this cache

A bit of damage has been done to the pine poles here, and I found a tiny magnet by itself. But no cache. Might be worth a look see on this one.

Another fail
It seems as though the poles have taken a bit of a beating of late, I did find a mini magnet but that might not have anything to do with the cache, dunno.

Found with Dunko and combust4 while in the area TFTC SL

Found in company with Slink1 and combust4 while in the area TFTC SL - (catching up on logs)

Found with Slink1 on a day in Wang. TFTC SL Nice hide this one as it is not the usual shape and size. Seen a few so it was a fast find.

Bit of a sad container (plastic bag)
Great hide though
Left pathtag

After receiving a few logs i investigated the cache only to discover it was missing but the log had been placed in a fencepost. I have replaced cache in original position !!!

We located this cache quite quickly, despite the muggles, but we had to resort to our toolkit to find something to extract the cache from its hide. The loogbook was in good condition. TFTC tattboy1.

Found on a caching Wangaratta day trip with the Walenators. Had to read previous log to figure out this one as the GPS was pointing elsewhere. Signed the log ( which was just in a plastic bag) after the Chief extracted it using one of his fav caching tools. TFTC

Retrieval of this cache took a few minutes, an umbrella and a tool. Found a rusted set of pliers. TFTC.

Interesting hide. I found it on the very edge of the roadside on the opposite side of the road to the golf course. This was an amazing find for me... It was at my feet as soon as I got out of the car in the gravel. I put it in the hollow fence post near the golf course - I'm not sure where it was supposed to be. I thought this was better than leaving it sitting on the road.

After a huge day we just couldn't spot this one in the fading light.

We went for a drive without the teenager! Bliss!
We found lots of caches, as well - even better!

Thanks again, tattboy1!

Out for a long weekend caching run down to Wangaratta with Just a cacher and the hound.

Day 2 of the Wangaratta cache blitz. A quick park and grab at the start of the run out of Wangaratta.

Thanks for the cache Tattboy1.

So glad I saw this hide before, otherwise it could have proved to be very tricky! Hoojar and me are on abig caching trip to Melbourne and back to Wollongong.

I have not seen a cache hidden using this method for years and years. The poles were still frosty this morning when Wilbert67 and I made the find.

Cheers

#711 found on my 221 day of consecutive caching. This was an interesting hide and one that was both a little challenging and rewarding to find you have constructed a great hide and blended it into the urban landscape very well and the only reason it was found so quick is that the gps was spot on.

Thanks tattboy1 for this interesting and different hide.

This is a great little hide but unfortunately the log is full and wet.
found a small place for Sully1 and I, thanks again tattboy1.

One of 58 caches for the day along with bogonghazy on a Wangaratta Wizz Around. Twas getting quite late and dark by the time we were here, but the cache was still spotted quickly enough. Thanks to tattboy1

Log is full. Sorry, didn't have an appropriate replacement with me.

Located the cache pretty quickly but the biggest problem was the traffic. Being later in the afternoon it was almost non-stop and interspersed with walkers on the trail. Finally got a break and managed to make a mark on the very full log. TFTC.

Slightly tricksy. Needed two sweeps to get it.

Found with The Empire on a days caching in the area - tftc

great hide, thanks

easy find tftc

Ha, good one. The log is rather damp but still managed to record the visit..

Clever hide tattboy1, found with AmyGVSL & Co at 12.40pm on a day caching in Wangaratta

Found @ 12:40. with Eanija on a caching day to Wang. Very neat hide, fortunately put my hand straight onto it. Log very wet.

TFTC tattboy1

Love this one. Good hide!! ^__^

Definitely thinking outside the box, thanks for a great hunt. Well hidden for us newbies
TFTC
WLS

tricky!

Good on yer tattboy1 for thinking outside the square here and not just using another bloody magnetic nano. We jumped on this as soon as we arrived however because when you have cached as long as us, you have seen it all before (well so far) so this was a good tricky hide for the newer cachers..

beauitful day today for us to enjoyed around Wangaratta Town, easy to find as hide very well thanks

with crank1 and whitepaws9

A quick find with the team on our Australian road trip, TFTC

Nice quick find having found a few of these now. Cheers Gav [11089]

Find a cache then a lunch stop. TFTC

A neat wee hide.
A nice quick find on our Oz MEGA Adventure - TFTC

Big day for us doing in Wangaratta which been stayed at Oz Mega Albury.
Caching day with Whitepaws9 and Laker63
Found it
TFTC

Found it No. 4614 ... felt a bit exposed ... TNLN ... TFTC tattboy1

Clever hide tftc

Took a second sweep of GZ to locate this one. Good hide TFTC.

Finally having the opportunity to grab a long weekend away we decided to try and clean up a few caches in Albury and surrounding areas hoping to allow for more socializing at the upcoming mega event. We had just left the nearby “By the Green” and could now see even more golfers working their way around the field. We also think the Golf Buggies here have been souped up as they were some of the fastest we have seen. We headed off to GZ and what we thought was an easy find but it was not to be, just muggles depositing rubbish in a logical location, DOH! We expanded our search and soon had the well hidden cache in hand and have added our name to the log.
Thanks tattboy1 for the cache

A nicely put together hide tatboy1. Found easily enough between vehicles, and was able to employ surreptitious techniques..

Great spot alot of thought went into this one

amazing hide, had us searching for a while

This was actually hard to find, but brilliant
Well done!

Heading home now and it is about to rain, well pour would be more like it. Jumped out of the car and grabbed the little baby, logged then back in the car... Amazing cloud formation. Nice one tattboy1.

A nice park and grab at the end of a day's walking to most caches. A good hide TFTC

# 160. Well Tattboy I really, really liked this one!! After heading to another spot first and finding all sorts of weird things I was relieved to find this one, albeit with a little gentle hinting from Mr Harrowang. I was delighted with this find. A great cache indeed. SL, TFTC.

Late start due to a flat tyre geocaching the day before.
All is good and clever cache found easily.
TFTC

Love these sneaky hides.

This morning we decided to hunt a few caches in town before Ms Bushies2's relatves came over for bbq lunch...Ms Bushies2 found the clever hide, good job. Thanks tattboy1.

So, while waiting for GeoMa & GeoPa to finish their lunch with friends, the GeoKid and I decided to head out and see if we could snag a cache or two before they met up with us. As we left the house it started to rain, which was alright, we'd packed our raincoats and when I said where we were going, the GeoKid said she'd show me where it was because she'd been there before! Unfortunately though, as we pulled up to do this cache, it got a lot heavier. We waited a few minutes, thinking it would let up, but the GeoKid got impatient and said we should go anyway! So we got out and braved the elements, the GeoKid had a very scientific way of 'tapping' the bits to tell me which one was the right one! Nice find for the 1st one of the day and as I was sort of winging it with where we'd go next according to the proximity of the caches on GeoPa's GPS I was hoping they'd all be lucky for us like this one!

Me and my two boys headed up to Cobram to see Great Nanna (or grape nanna as my two year old calls her) as well as catch up with Marshy (AKA Blacklegend).
After spending a great fun day before having a bit of a road trip caching in Wagga with Marshy and a few of his kids it was time head home with my two boys today. We made our way from Cobram to Yarrawonga, south through Wangaratta and then down to Mansfield before making our way back home.
I had the boys stay in the car and watch as dad went and found the cache. Have seen a few of these hides before and it wasn't long before we were back on the road.
Thanks for the hide.

In town with Mum and Dad looking at a new, or newer car for them and got my cache for the day while in the process. Apparently I have you to thank for fixing my cache at Bundalong too. Many thanks for that. That cache has been probably my most troublesome. First one got burnt out, second one flooded out, third muggled to death. Whats next. Nothing I hope!
Thanks indeed tattboy1.

Found mid afternoon on our travels.
Signed the mini log and enjoyed the clever hide.
Thanks to tattboy1.

Found by The Empire @ 9:30am
Find number 4 of 10 for the day, on my way home from a stormy, wintery night in Mulwala. At the previous cache, I found a great little froggie. At this cache, I found something else (see photo). Thanks for the cache, tattboy1.

No. 4 find with the grandkids aged 8 & 4 years. This was the next closest to 'By the Green' but we were not sure what the reaction to a micro cache might be. We found a safe place to park and then held hands to get across the road. Mmmm... this one was more of a challenge. GeoPa found this sneaky one and Isaac (aka Cicada) was most indignant because 'there was nothing there!' We had to explain that this one was just one to sign and carefully replace when no-one was looking. So sorry tattboy1 - this one did not cut it with the 8 year old GeoMa & Isaac did a bit of CITO as we walked back to the car and as it had now reached 12 noon it was time to head home for some lunch. P.S. The adults liked your clever hide tattboy1. Day 15 of our 30 day challenge. #813

A clever little hide, well done tattboy. Much easier to grab at night when there is no foot traffic or cars going past.

This is the 1078th cache find for WazzaAndWenches.

An Event in Wang! Great! A chance to nab a few of the caches over that way.
Oh dear. The Wenches can't come with me because they have a prior booking. What a pity

After a great meal at the pub with a few other cachers, a quite rum with The Morris and a good snooze it was time to get out and find some more caches.

A quick and easy find with spot-on coords. Seen this type of hide before and have been looking for a suitable place to put my own version.

Found by grand-daughter.Shes getting good at this.At 7yrs she beats me every time.Think your getting the hang of this tattboy.Nice hide.[^]

Found with Fred6603 & the Hinklenator clan after the Wang Springtime Event. A very good hide but a quick find & then we met up again with Blacklegend again before we were all off again. TFTC tattboy1,
Roostaman.

Found after the Springtime event in town. Only one of eight for the day, as got to town late for the event as it was. Parted from my daughter Jacqueline (Bubble O'Bill) who had to go to KMart in town with my wife. Girly stuff to get i believe....

So, I headed to this and another on the way out of town, and met up with a plethora of cachers here including Roostaman, Fred6603, Hinklenator and Lostmonster and Co. This type of hides are great, very muggle proof i think. TFTC.

Found on the Wang spring event................neat hide.
Many thanks.............TNLNSL.

Find No15 for the day out of 35. Found with Hearse068, Thing No1 and Thing No2. The things had this one in hand before Hearse068 and I had got to GZ Nice cameo. Parking a little tricky for this one. TFTC

#1935 Found on our day in Wang for the Spring Meet and Greet with Team Haveanez on a beautiful spring day. We were fortunate whilst at GZ as there was nobody around today and Big Ez soon had the very nice cache container in hand. Nicely hidden tattboy1 [^]

Found With Thing no2, Hearse068 and Gonefishen07 on a caching weekend in Wangaratta. Thing no2 and I ran ahead and grabbed the cache we have found one like this before so that helped. SL TFTC

Found with Thing no1, Hearse068 and Gonefishen07 while in Wangaratta for the Wangaratta Springtime Event. Thing no1 and myself were on to this one in a flash. SL TFTC

Lochb said (from the backseat) "there is one near this corner". Chewin' and I couldn't remember doing one here, and we didn't have it on our GPSr's as it was so new. On our way back from caches up the road, we stopped in for a quick find.
Thnaks for the new caches, Robmc.

WOW WHAT A DAY 33 TRADITIONALS 1 MULTI AND 1 EVENT. Found with Thing no1, Thing no2 and Gonefishen07. Thing no1 and Thing no2 ran ahead to GZ and grabbed the cache. We like caches with cool camo. SL TFTC

Found it.
Mini assault thru Wang after a great meet event.
Quick find with the torch!
SL.....TNLN.....T4TC

Found with Micheena, her eyes were sharp today. Please to se a different type of hide . Thanks

This cache is so new that both Robmc and chewinprickles didn't have it on their GPSrs. Nice camo! TFTC

With torches in hand we did the quick dash to the GZ. Was the first thing we put our hand on. Lucky really! Nice hide! SL T4TC

Found at 1530 in the company of Roostaman and Hinklenator while in Wangaratta for the Wang springtime meet and greet event.

Thanks tattboy1.

Micheena - found with Yullaba on the way to the Event. Thought something looked a bit odd.

TFTC, nice hide and a quick find, found with Fred6603, and Roostman

11:00
Another very cleaver hide - a nice variation on what is now becoming a common theme. Lucky there was no traffic as we darted across the road for a quick find..

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt tattboy1.

Found on a beaut arvo with Skullracing after the event. We like the effort you've gone to on this hide Tattboy - nicely done. A quick find in between passing muggles - a busy road & footpath. Thanks for the hunt. TNLN SL cheers.

[504] 3.10pm
Easily found by Mon.

FTF YIPPEE!!
Nearly back in Wang and it was on.Pulled up close to GZ it can be busy here and the cache is close to the road so kids need to be watched as always.This was a nice little hide,one I have seen before,found quite quickly but imaagine it could be difficult to those who havent seen this type before.
