Buninjon Willaura, Victoria, Australia
By Makkas on 25-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3BD1Y

Found while out on a Sunday drive, then went and enjoyed looking at some of the birds. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find on the way back to Melbourne. Log book seemed full so I left some extra bits of paper for future GCers

An easy find as we head towards Avocado for an overnight stop

Nice quick find TFTC

TFTC - left a sticker

This was too easy thanks to the commenter who said EXACTLY where it is in the hint. Be better!

Found..

Thankyou

Great spot not hidden very well

Quick, easy find for me today sadly, no Bunyip sightings/attacks. TFTC

Gotta be game to find that one!! Good spot!!

Thanks

Found at 11:11 AM GAFF1.Continuing our trip back to Ararat and this was an interesting stop as the cache description was so fascinating with the folk lore of the local aborigines. However I wouldn't think that the word Maroona means pine trees as pine trees are not native Australian trees!This cache like the previous one was totally exposed and out in the open and ready to be picked up for being rubbish!Replaced it behind the post and placed some solid camo over it.Thanks to Makkas

Got to GZ and made an immediate find! TFTC!!

Found 02/01/24. Tried to camouflage it a little more as I could see it from where I parked. Log book is pretty much full too.

Nice easy find during our bird watching afternoon. Tftc

Found thanks

Found it . Wasnt hidden very well could see container . Camouflaged it better . TFTC

TFTC A bit too easy. Need to camouflage the container.

Time for Mr. Lazy aka JTreeTrack2 to catch up on some logs. Sorry to the cache owners for the lag. I have enjoyed finding every cache I have found and appreciate all the effort that has gone in to placing and maintaining the caches. Hopefully I will find more caches and give a more timely and personalized logThanks again for placing the cache.

Enjoying caching out into country
All good here

Quick find while on our way to Port Fairy TFTC

A quick find on a cold and windy day
TFTC

A fast find after our usual stop by the water. TFTC!

Out on a road trip from Ballarat and this was the next stop. Now heading down this road and pulled into the rest area/car park and took the short walk to GZ where the cache was soon spotted. Log signed, cache replaced and then off for the next one.

Thanks again Makkas....cache all good.

A bit of ahot day! Thanks for the cache !

A good excuse to stop and stretch the legs. Nice spot. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A quick find as I meandered my way home from the mega.

Cache placement seemed to match the hint to me.

TFTC

A quick stop here with the caravan on, I'm glad I hadn't read the hint as it no longer applies.
The cache is out of harms way of an flooding luckily.
Thanks for hiding this cache.

Good one

I decided to do a road trip along the Great Ocean Road this week. It’s been a long time since I travelled along this area and it was certainly before I was into caching! Having reached Warrnambool, I’m now making my way inland to head back towards Melbourne…. Via Beaufort and Ballarat .

This was a nice easy find.

Thanks Makkas for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Easy little find while travelling past! TFTC!

I found this cache on a caching adventure out west by myself. Testing out the new van to see how it goes as a camper.

Today I would start at Langi Ghiran state park, where I camped last night and drive via Apsley to camp at Baileys Rocks campground tonight.

One of the easiest cache finds ever. Could spot the hide location from the car. TFTC.

GeoW again made a prompt find, once GeoM made good use of co-ordinates and clus.
Interesting lake seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
Plenty of solitude for a bunyip.
Thx JJHHXX Find 27

Beautiful lake. TFTC

Yes

Found it

Quick pick up on the return trip home. TFTC

It seems this year will be full of new happenings, including random another random weekend away with family. It's been years since we came here, and it's great to see so much water in the lake. TFTC

GT37 and I were both pleased to see water here although it appears to be quite shallow. We have seen a number of totally dry lakes/dams this trip. Thanks for the cache.

I had stayed at the lake last night and collected this one on the way out. Lots of possibilities if it had been a magnetic one.
TFTC

Haha

Fun, adventure, travel, history, geology, mental stimulation, social gatherings, support and friendship are just some of the elements of geocaching.

Out and about enjoying the opportunity to grab a few caches, yours being one of those I targeted on my journey today. Thanks ??

Thanks Makkas (F=91 H=9) for placing this cache and adding to our game.

Found it between showers.

Nice find

Great spot, cache in good condition TFTC

Super easy find! Tyftc!

Found it on the way to Mt Gambier with the family!

Found.

Still got some water in it

TFTC Maccas and maintaining it for us.
All good at gz. TNLN.

After telling my boys no more caches since my youngest left his iPad behind at the last location and it got smashed I decided okay maybe a couple more on the way home. Nice spot. Went and checked out the swans on the lake too. TFTC

Found your cache Makkas, thank you so much for placing it.

??

I had lunch here and watched the lightning and rain come over the lake.

Country side looking great. Water in the lake. Stretch of the legs. Quick find. THTC TNLN

Just as the sky had started clearing after hours of rain and snow, the bunyip must have sneezed as we arrived at this spot: the rain came back with a vengeance! We made sure we did not overstay our welcome, though we did enjoy reading the stories shared on the cache page. Thank you!

First cache in a really long time due to COVID-19, SL TFTC!

TFTF’

A quick stop, stretch the legs, find a cache and adventure around!

TFTC

Enjoyed a cool winter's afternoon caching our way in a loop south of Ararat. Never realised this lovely location was here. Enjoyed the stories on the cache page. Cache found easily in good condition. TFTC Makkas.

Too easy to find

It isn't hunting season,
so all was quiet at Buninjon
A quick cache find was me reward here

TFTC.

Quick park and grab. TFTC

The last Day in Millicent to clean up a few caches before Easter with BettyBoo3747.
Today we departed Millicent and headed to Ararat collecting caches along our route.

Interesting story of the lake (and stars).
Not much water around, so we just signed and departed.
Thanks, Robmc.

#17208. Today is a travelling day between Millicent and Ararat. Just picked up a few caches along the way. An interesting story of how Lake Buninjon came into being. A quick find and sign as we did not go further to look at the lake. I think it was rather low.

Thanks Makkas

beautiful beautiful place to stop. smells bad, but great lookout. stopped for a solid 30 seconds to stare at it.

Nice easy find, TFTC

A quick easy find here after a summer day trip around the Western District. Thanks for placing!

Resorted to the hint to get us looking in the right pace rather then the 'obvious' ones.

TNLN SL TFTC

Beautiful day out collecting a few smileys after the Beaufort Banter! Tftc...

Quick find. Searching with the geokids. TFTC

Found the cache amongst rubbish meters away from it should be! Returned to GZ!
Malea263 & char6a72

Char6a72 located the cache on the ground quite some distance away from where we believe it should have been. Put back in the obvious spot. TFTC.

Left a little somthing in their for the next lucky geokid

First for the year! Quick stop on the way home from a seaside break in Portland. Cache in good order. TFTC

Easy find once you use the hint

Thanks for the hint!
Found it

Easy find

Nice easy one

#12 - A quick find here. Great views under blue skies today.

Thanks Makkas

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Found

An easy find today.
However the lingering smell of the previous cattle truck's occupants excrement now on the car and caravan have left a lasting (unwanted) memory.
A great spot to stop though

Found on a three day caching wander with AussieM&M!!!! We centred our searches in the Ararat area but ventured further afield when some of our planned caches were either disabled or on very slushy dirt roads. Very cold and plenty of rain ….. although we seemed to dodge the worse of it!!! Very muddy near GZ!!! Thanks Makkas for the hide!!

A quick park and grab here today as the rain was still threatening and there was a council worker nearby.
TFTC Makkas.

09:12
Cold, wet and windy weather was not a sufficient deterrent to keep us from a day's caching in and around Ararat today.
Fascinating cache notes - another story we would not have known if we were not geocachers.

Thanks 'Makkas' for this placement.

Quick and easy find!

Easy find

Nice break on the way to Cavendish for the night, TFTC

Tftc quick stop on the way to work at lake bolac

Found with the geo-crew after a day climbing Mount Abrupt and the way to a night in Ararat. The lake would be a good place to send a bit of time on a future trip. Great stories as well. A favourite from us!!Many thanks Makkas

Too easy

Quick find and on to Willura to visit friend and another cache. TFTC

A very blowy cold day today! But we found it!

Any spot with the name Jon in it can't be all that bad!

Found as part of my 2017 Alexandra Mega experience. This cache added to the fun and enjoyment of my trek to the east and back from Adelaide. While there were a few thunder storms, there were mainly clear skies and I never saw a snake! [^]

Thanks to Makkas and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Nice quick stop and find TFTC

nice quick cache on a windy day

Heading for home after watching a great sunset we picked up another cache to add to the tally for the day.
Thanks Makkas for the placement here for us to enjoy.

Nice easy find, loved the stories in the description. TFTC.
