Orange Cone Hazelwood North, Victoria, Australia

archiving as I am an irresponsible nurse with x3 jobs , have been working 15hr night shifts for the last two years and two other roles, now I do covid vaccinations full time plus two other roles have been made feel like I dont care about caching because of a wet log, the fun has gone from caching for me

This was a nice quick find - it gave me a reason to stretch my legs. Thank you!

Took my self and my brother a while to find it due too the long grass and faded color of the cone

may have been destroyed by mower maintenance

still there

Almost gave up, then i almost steped over it.
Couldn't sign the log, it was too wet. TFTC

Tried to find was unsuccessful

Nice easy find when you pay attention to what your looking for... a little lonely as not seen in a while, and needing to TLC as has wet log book. But TFTC

Needs some attention as log wet.

Did not find grass to long and wet

Nice hide

Don’t be tricked

Overshooting gz I found myself parking the far side of the bridge and walking back. The wind kept buffeting me, pushing me off balance. At bridges end I stopped wondering if this was a cache placed under the bridge end and debated the wisdom of climbing down there. Didn't want to freak people out thinking there was a jumper, but I need not have worried. I saw the cache on the way down. The name makes perfect sense. Watch your step on the hill. It is very uneven. The cache itself is full of black ants and and eggs. If needs bug spray. Couldn't seal the bag because of them. Apart from that the cache is in good condition. Tftc

An amazing cache placement here, but it seems to be a stayer. We did the Tramway on ramp stop here and managed a quick find. Cache contents in good condition. I've wanted to get this cache everytime we drive past, so today we stopped.

Thanks Nautilus7497 for this placement.

Found with Marshall’s Geelong today

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today with LCASS on our Gippsland adventure!
Easy drive by whilst in the area. Hard to not be spotted!
TFTC!

Found where expected. TFTC

We couldn't resist pulling off the highway to search for this one, and so once safely off the road we set off up towards Ground Zero and soon found the item we had expected to see and consequently the cache itself. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Great hide!! Love it!!

A chance drive by heading out of town, just enough time to quickly pick this one up.
CJJAHC

Great Geo great location

Quick little stop and easy find, TFTC

Okay, this one will probably be easier when it's not peak hour, and not in the middle of summer... but I found it. One of the more difficult finds, though - but TFTC!

Drove past here yesterday noticed it was a little more obvious from highway. Might need to cover a bit more cheers

No point trying to be conspicuous with this one, luckily any passing muggles are going by too fast to stop and investigate thanks for the hide.

Finally wow hard to be discreet on such a busy place but done happy birthday to me

Found it awhile ago but forgot to log

TFTC

Doggy spot but found it

Finally got time to stop and look for this cache as I was driving past. Thought about how I was going to park safely and headed off through the long grass. At least it wasn't wet, found GZ and what I was looking for. Cache was dry, log signed. TNLN TFTC

Nice quick find.
With michelleclerks

Hahahaaa good one! Couldn't stop laughing while getting this one, phantom thought it was fantastic :3

Good one

Found it. Very very wet. Everything is ruined. Could not sign and did not leave anything cause it would get wet

New log and contents in place..

Tftc!

Yuck! All wet and smells disgusting! Cool idea though, TFTC. No trackables!

Found it after going back for a second look. Cache is very wet so couldn't sign the logbook

Sounds like the m&m container has grown legs will fix asap

Good walk lol nearly fell

Tftc!

Found when driving back to Drouin. Very wet and smells of urine. No container there for it.

Found

Found a while ago but didnt get to sign log as it was wet, but still marking as found.

Unfortunately everything is wet and smells like urine
Can't sign log
Maintenance required

Hottest day for it!

Found with Mansgirl on a caching couple of days. Thanks.

Yep another quick one tflc

Great place would never of thought to hide one there

We did the walk and found it quite easily. Tyftc.

I normally don't do T3, because I usually hurt myself one way or another. Managed this one! Tftc

Way to easy saw this from where i parked. Nice one tftc

Found tftc

Got it, gps sent me everywhere.. TFTC

That was a great adventure. Amazing cache!!!

Found with pykie80

Reading the logs is definitely interesting... good for some not so good for others (check terrain and difficulty stars peeps it sure isn't a normal one)... Im one those people who if see's a car near a cache site "toots" like mad (hope's they were actual geo-cachers lol...) ... happy hunting... watch for Snakes in Summer . .

I found this as part of a daily streak I am working on. I always enjoy the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching. My new GPS is working great and has really improved my geocaching experience. Thanks to Nautilus for placing and maintaining this cache. Swapped a Range Rover for a Tank for my 4yo geokid. This was another "Found it" for me. TFTC! Cheers. Jump Pilot.

Found this cache easily with Fluffy_b. Picked up a TB, left nothing. Once I actually looked at the positioning of this cache I realised what a great one it is for TBs! Thanks for a great cache on the way to work

Ah knocked over and in plain view for muggle car! Didn't sign because I felt uncomfortable but it's in an m&m container

Sixy2Sue brought me to the area .. and let me find this, before placing here travel bug.
tftc

Revisited this cache today after finding it for the first time yesterday, to drop off my travel bug (TB6RC28) to start it's journey to Paris and hopefully the Eiffel Tower. This will be a journey of love and hope, dedicated to my disabled daughter whose one big wish is to be able to go there one day.

I thought this would be a good cache for Travel Bug to be picked up by travelling cachers who will be heading towards Melbourne (and hopefully Tullamarine!!!). Go little bug go!

Yes it seems like Zelda the Zebra (trackable) hasn't been in this cache for quite some years...

This was a nice cache though. I said hello to the pet rock (Thanks Mrs Box), and left a very apt souvenir in the cache. I hope the pet rock doesn't use it to make a quick escape!

Made the trip especially for the track able, and it's gone! Bugger. Oh well, next time! TFTH! A challenge for me! TNSL, left extremely low maintenance pet (rock).

For our Australian Tour we selected to search this Cache.
We had a find at a nice Location and thanks to the owner for placing and maintaining this by
arbor95

Together with arbor95 we are on the way back to Melbourne. Some nice caches on the way, we stopped and signed the logbook. This cache was one of them.

Thanks for this cache and for keep this going.

Greetings to the owner.

Another one for the tally but not what I do Geocaching for- there's a lot more nice places to visit

Well this one was certainly... interesting. Very long grass and kyabbott spotted a snake which made it all the more challenging. Very glad we tag teamed this one to avoid carrying a baby through the undergrowth. A bit too exposed for our liking on such a sunshiny day. Tftc

After struggling to find a safe parking place in a dangerous gz, I trekked through the hip-high long grass to find myself completely exposed to traffic on the freeway. I doubt whether this cache is legal as no pedestrians are allowed on the freeway and hunting for a cache in a locale like this is likely to distract passing traffic. I found the cache after a few minutes, struggled my way up there through the grass and upon returning to the car, I disturbed a slithery, scaly black thing, squealed at the top of my lungs and bolted. Sorry to report that this as replaced the cache with the nearby smelly carcass as my worst caching experience thus far.

Found with Joel today. Grass needs a mow...

Description is GREAT!

The description is spot on. Got lots of toots from muggles or other geocachers ? Silkyie

felt a bit exposed in full view of the traffic, but it works

TFTC Nautilus7497

This cache is certainly in an unusual spot and trekking through the grass is a bit tricky. Still a great hide. There is no sign of Zelda the Zebra TB. TFTC

Found it. TFTC

I decided to have a look and the grass has been mowed with no sign of a orange cone or a cache. I think this one needs to be checked by the owner or archived if they no longer cache.

I stopped off for this one and came up empty handed, however as i didnt see why this cache needed to be there I dont think I will try again, on the positive side you have some other great caches that I have happily added a favorite point to.

Also found a jacket - salvos might like it. Came at gc from the back making spotting it difficult

Suspected the ants nesting in the cache weren't intended to be there. LN, TN, but helped the ants move along .

# 5447 Found on a trip into Morwell to check out the caches in town.
Found a few in town and a few more out and around the surrounding back roads too.
Nice and quiet and no muggles around while I was here.
Quick find, nice view up the road and off to the next one.

Quick find. Do not understand the purpose.

The last cache on the way home after an afternoon around Traralgon with kmps. A nice easy find. TFTC

The grass wasn't to long to day, not to hard to find. TFTC.

Quick find from a dubious parking spot.

Found it in the dark easy

Found with Crazy! Nat Girl while touring the area, no trouble with this one, except my nerves were rattled from a snake and this long grass did not help, I was looking around thinking where on earth would you hide a cache here and then there it was.

On this fine afternoon tj + belladeka found tftc sl

On my way to midvalley and decided to grab some caches along the way. Sl thanks Nautilus for the cache.

Such a great hunt! Love this one!

Trekked through some grass but such a good cache!

This one had one of us fooled, despite the cache name. It did take us 2 trips before careful searching had the container in hand. Completely missed the point on our first search.
TFTC. TNLN

Felt very exposed sitting there in the long grass in full view of the oncoming traffic. Left TB "Zelda the Zebra".

After parking the car, we soon had this one signed off.
It's not quite the shade it used to be...

TFTC

Tis not as orange as it used to be!

NO Chocs left Orange Cone Mice ( Rare sp. ) must have eaten them ! Favorite !Left T coin .

Catching up on my logging - found while out and about with my caching buddy Slink1
