We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.

Thanks for the hunt anyway bja7.

Appears to be missing

No find today

Had a heads up on this one from a previous cacher. Would appear to be missing.

Think it's gone ?

Submitted via Garmin Oregon 7xx

Found an open container log book damp but not wet TFTC. Ls

Nice one! Getting cold but great find. TFGC

TFTC I don't think the muggles were home. Good hide

So easy out in the open
Footy was on and heaps of muggles
Tftc

Real easy one, way exposed surely seen doing this one. Cheers DD

Yay! Found it! Clue really helped!

First one! So much fun!

took a while to find, until we checked the hint and realized what we had to do!!!

Good hide.

Hello thank you for letting me and my dad find that cache today so thank you for that

An easy find in a nice little area - good hiding spot - signed log

Out and about exploring Mildura area with CAD over Easter - another beautiful day... Soon had cache in hand after we stepped up T4TC:)
#3382

Found on a Sunny Sunday in and around lovely Mildura TFTC 5th

Quickly grabbed this one while in the area. Could hear the TV of the muggles next door so was a bit paranoid but quickly found the cache. Grabbed the TB. Thanks!

What a nice day for a Geo-cache, 24 and not a cloud in the sky.
Kelligula found this one, took longer than it should. I felt a bit rusty, first cache in over two weeks.
TFTC

This one took longer than it should have as we got sidetracked by the obvious. We left a trackable to play here for a while.

Found it via the clue

Second time looking , found couldn't log , no pen

Yey

Left rock #12 took swimmer. Thanks!

Nearly left but persevered.we found winners medallion at a river cache that was placed here in 2011.

This cache is friends with 'salt'....

It was not the muggles in the houses that stopped me finding this cache today.
It was the muggles at the hall that stopped me finding this cache today

A literal step up

First ever find, been coming to cardy hall once or twice a week for the past 10 years and never knew there was something hidden under my nose this whole time.

What a busy area. Both the nearby football and netball grounds were full of muggles, wasn't hard to tell it was grand final time! Think Sandra's 40th is to be on at the hall later today as there was a sign out the front and muggles in there setting up for something. The muggle in the house next door was in her front garden too, so we waited in the van till she went inside before grabbing this cache. No being the most agile monkey in the world I was glad for the natural handle here that makes accessing this cache container a little easier. Thanks.

This was a quick find for us this morning. TFTC

TFTC! This old mumma hasn't had to 'step up' like that since I was a kid!

Found at 4:06 PM GAFF3. Got caught out by looking at the obvious spot and thinking it had gone. You do feel a tad exposed out here - lucky it is a quite town.
Thanks bja7.

very muggly, even though it's only a small place. today was my second attempt on this cache. last time would have been impossible to get to gz without too much attention. today i just had to let an older gentleman and his (grand)daughter pass, then i could retrieve the nicely hidden container. i really liked this cache. nothing "spectacular", just a good, well done hide! TFTC + fav. point!

TFTC

Not so quick a find as would have liked as house owner across the road was doing ? to his car and would not go indoors for at least 5 minutes
House close to ground zero was all quiet
Cache found with geo hubby's help as I am vertically challenged even with 1 step up
Took tb's for a visit
tftc -log book damp

# 5539. Robmc and I have had a very successful caching holiday and we are making our way back to Melbourne today and picking up a few caches along the way.

Really liked the shady peppercorn tree and the muggle house next door. Didn't like their noisy, nosy dogs though. Thanks to the clue we had a quick find here and were soon on our way. The hall is in very good condition for one getting on a bit in years.

Thanks bja7

Travelling home from Mildura, BettyBoo3747 and I grabbed a few on the road. When we had only reached Ouyen for lunchtime, we figured we should probably do a few less caches and a bit more driving.
This little town popped up out of nowhere!
The dogs next door were interested in us, but that was all.
Nothing happening at the hall this time of a Monday morning.
Thanks, Robmc.

Hi Found it tricky hint good hide. TFTC

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

A big day of caching with brisal5 and Aussie M & M plus a couple of locals. Another great cache in a lovely location.
Thank you

Day 2 of a caching long weekend to Mildura with Aussie M&M and mogni. We got well and truly muggled out when rehearsals finsihed and the players all came out to leave. We even walked up to examine the scuptures/scarecrows but the players just stood around talking. Probably about us. So we left and came back a couple of hours later with nobody around. A quick one step and the cache was in hand. Thanks bja7

This was the first full day in Sunraysia on a caching adventure with mogni and brisal5. We were joined by Mr M's parents on a day where we mainly concentrated on getting as many Wentworth caches as we could.

Having completed our Wentworth we decided to pick up a couple of more caches before celebrating with a BBQ. We had actually tried to make the retrieve for this one a couple of caches before, however there were too many muggles hanging around after rehearsals. This time we had the place to ourselves and brisal5 made a quick retrieval. TFTC bja7.

Quick find but forgot a pen. Tftc

Found it, noted in log book, left everything in it, didn't add anything. First cache found!

Late afternoon drive, tricky with muggles, tftc

Bit of a climb for oldies

Caching with SARS 12 for the Scouting Competition. Beautiful day, lovely spot, great company. TFTC

Caching with team pedal pushers

This is a wonderful cache

Whoa great effort

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!

The boys did the honours here while I was still trying to get clues via spasmodic mobile phone reception to Water Hole Of Old, which we had not long left.
Apparently, they had to take one step up and they are both taller than me

TNLN. SL. TFTC bja7

In Mildura for a couple of days of caching with locus_cache and CPwanderer. This is one of 53 finds for the day. TFTC.

A quick find with Dennisc52 and locuscache!!! Thanks bja7 for the hide!!!!

Found on our trip to Mildura for some rand r well Caching anyway.

i would never have found this cache lucky hubby got out to help nice placement

A top find lol , left poker chip .

nice spot to hide the cache didnt like the hair braid

Took coin
Left pet rock

The last time I visited the Cardross Hall would have been to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Gosh only knows how long ago that was. It seems like it has been a while since this cache received any interest, which might explain why it was covered with so much debris. The cache is still in very good nick though.

The notorious "Cardi Burger" would definitely go down well after a day out grabbing caches (assuming these massive burgers are still around of course), and it would have been nice to have been out there at about lunch time. Overall, a great location for cache. Thanks bja7.

Easy find early in the morning.
Last time I was here there was a bit of water laying about.

Hair a bit yuck but fairly easy find!

6.30 am and decided to give this one a miss after seeing how close it was to the nearby muggle house. Thanks anyway.

A cold morning but another fine day in Mildura - perfect for our caching activities as we did not need rain today with the majority of our travelling being on dirt tracks. We happily meandered around the river edge with tracks going in several directions. Lovely old trees and bird life while the river looked plentiful. An enjoyable day of caching with many different style of hides to keep us challenged and entertained.
Thanks to bja7.

Yep remembered to step up. TFTC BJA7

Nice easy find thanks to geobro. Quite a bit of muggle activity going on in the area had to be very inconspicuous. TFTC

Very close to house. They must know somrthing is going on! Found Alison's dread lock OOOOOOW.

3770th total find at around 15:14

Being a Grey Nomad is fun. We've been on the road since January.
We've attended the Mega Event in Albury and now we're heading to a couple of events in South Australia.
Currently we are ensconced in a caravan park in Mildura and enjoying attempting some caches here.

Thanks bja7 for the cache

Found it.

This one should be called "The Patience Game Cache" we headed out to this one yesterday and did not get a chance as there was the lady next door putting out her bins who came and chatted with me and the man and his son who came and gooed over our trike. Today we bought lunch up the road and sat at GZ and waited out the local workmen, this done we managed to sign and return the container. SL TFTC

Hehe

Got traceable milkNcookie

Done

Thought we'd better get out and find a leap year cache. So in the rain we come out and collected this one on our way home from Red Cliffs. Dropped off a TB and a few coins we had lying around.

one step for some but not if you've got ducks disease

Had to play real stealthy event on at hall

Second attempt. Didn't think it through. Was something on at the hall last Thursday. Didn't cross my mind that it might be a weekly event! Parked with the other cars to blend and made a run for the cache as to minimise discovery! Exactly where I thought it was. Tftc

A quick find indeed.
Although the cache was covered in cockroaches!?!?!
thanks bja7... i think

Found it. No muggles around today. Great to see new caches and caching teams in the area.

How close is this muffle house?

Your log says you found it Stewbies_6. So surely you know.

Found by Roma and Max.
We concentrated our search in the general area of your co-ordinates and were rewarded for our efforts.
Thank you bia7, and congratulations on a very good hide for your first.
Cheers,
from Romax.
