I found this one with kenare at 3:35 pm. Cache had a little bit of water in it, but it had its lid on. Tftc

Tftc kids loved this one

Nice easy find. TFTC

A lovely little walk and a quick find. Cache is missing its lid. TFTC

Cache has no lid and main log very wet, piece of paper as temp log left by somebody is dry.

Found cache , no lid & wet. TFTC

Spent the weekend away with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic attending the events and picking up some of the local caches.
Thank you for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

Catching up on some logs that I have discovered hadn't been published yet. As always I have enjoyed the challenge of looking for and finding this cache.

Many thanks TaylaM for placing this cache .

Cache had 5cm of water in it. We emptied it out and squeezed the log book but really needs replacing.

We left a scratching of our name as even our power tank pens didn't want to write here.

Travelling around Australia with our Cat we were caching out of Horsham a few weeks back when we noticed a day time event in Ararat was coming up.

Well we kept watching to see how things would shape up in our World and so the calendar moved along and we have arrived in Ararat!

A great day with attending not 1 but 2 events and bumping into lot's of cachers on the hunt and of course lots of chats and chats.

Great day filled with all the things we love about Geocaching. Except the freezing weather of course as it didn't get above 8degrees today and we still had to dodge the showers.

Thanks for your cache helping with our exploration of Victoria and helping our Addiction along.

TFTC TaylaM

Off on a weekends trip geocaching, travelling to Ararat for a couple of events around the release of the Travel Bug at the grave of Baz, a geocacher from the Ararat area (visit link).
Now, out caching around town with Riddell and bumping into a few others along the way.
Verrrrrry wet cache today with no lid in place. Signed log and left in such a way to allow it to dry, maybe. Could do with some maintenance.
Thanks for placing this cache TaylaM
No Travel Bug found in cache.

No lid and filling with water.
No TB. Log VERY wet.
TFTC

As per my log. Needs TLC.

Quick find no trackable in there

Cache needs maintenance. No trackable found tftc

Lid is missing.

Off on a caching run from Warrnambool to Ararat with Happy Pants. We managed 40 finds for the day. We parked nearby and had a short walk to GZ. The cache was soon located. Although the lid is completely missing - had a quick look around, but couldn't see it. TFTC TaylaM.

Nice find may need maintenance as there is no lid. TFTC

I will be returning an putting a new pad in as the one inside have been damaged by water

AN easy find, for Geokid Toothless, who found himself stuck- as only he could. An easy walk, and not as long as I expected from the map.

Thanks for the experience TaylaM

Quick grab while visiting family for Christmas. Took TB, will release in NSW

Found while visiting relatives in Ararat. Although having been to Ararat several times, I haven't come across this walk along Cemetery Creek, which I will certainly explore further during my next visit. I have dropped off trackable GiraffeDad. TFTC!

Found whilst passing through
great cache, cool spot
TFTC

Walk in the woods

Good

Found It, TNLN

Find No. 713. Found with FUF009 at 4.29pm
An afternoon drive to Ararat. FUF009 came along with us and so did our geodog 'Penny', for the outing.
Penny loved the walk to this one where we found a magnatised cache with a difference.
Took Surfing Pin - Left green car. TFTC

A nice cache to find on our caching adventure with Tardis Trio.
Thank TaylaM for the find.

On our way back to Adelaide with Team Scoobster, Mr Tardis and Mr Scoobster has a little bit of time for some caching while the rest of our team did the tourist thing. We found this one in the first place we looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache TaylaM.

Thanks for this well constructed and placed cache. Picked up trackable G588410.

Found on the weekend attack on Mexican caches by a couple of Kiwis and a couple of Aussies, surprisingly there were no slayings although we talked a lot about maniacal murders along the way.

There's only so many places a cache can hide under a bridge and this cache didn't last long with three sets of eyes looking.

Thanks for the cache TaylaM.

After being offered a weekend caching to and from Ballarat with Tounga and Moneydork, how could I refuse[?]
Sushilord joined us too and for 3 days we laughed and cached and laughed and cached until we could cache no more. [|)]
As for the topics of conversation, apparently mirth, maniacal murder and mayhem were the common themes for the weekend along with a few other topics
My total for a great weekend was 1 event attended in Ballarat , 113 cache finds 7 DNFs and a FTF as I wound my way home, alone, in the early morning

Nice walk and a cool cache makes for happy geocachers
Thanks for the fun at Cemetery Creek!

TNLN. SL. TFTC TaylaM

A lovely spot and an nice easy find. TFTC

Found on a fantastic weekend away with Moneydork (Hero Husband), Locus Cache and Sushilord. It was not a quiet trip but oh so worth it! Lots of caching, lots of laughter and finally some sleep thrown in when we just couldn't carry on!
Thanks for your cache and helping make our weekend so great.

After a short walk we were able to quickly find this one in the first place we looked. Thanks for the hide TaylaM.

This was a nice quick find for us.Thanks TaylaM.

Lovely stroll down to this spot. Never knew this area was here until now! TFTC.
No TB here!!! Still logged here though.

Easy find after a nice short stroll. Good hide. Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Great find

A quite enjoyable stroll along the path to an easy find here. Thanks to TaylaM for the break from the highway.

Windy and wet but found

A good excuse to stretch the legs after sitting in the car for a bit. TFTC

Lovely walk TFTC

Geohubby and I are staying in the Grampians for a few weeks from SA. The morning dawned quite foggy in Halls Gap so we decided that a day catching some caches around Ararat was the go We had found several local caches on a previous visit to Ararat so we tried to grab the ones that have since been published or those we didn't have time to get last visit.

Last time we enjoyed this nice walking path there were no caches here...but a smiley for us today

Many thanks for the hide TaylaM [^]

IF its there it must be hidden well! Maybe next time.

Found by Mary & David at 1615. On our way home after Oz Mega, but via Avoca where we have some cache maintenance to do. Enjoyed the walk along a well made walking track. Found this one in a typical spot after a short search. Our thanks to TaylaM.

Don't think it's there.

No luck for us today.

First cache! Took a little time to actually find once I got to the co-ords.

Nice easy find on a daytrip to Ararat. Had fun picking the cobweb out of my hair afterwards. Thanks for this hide TaylaM

Nice hiding spot

09:46
An early morning run in and around Ararat netted us a good number of caches before we returned to the caravan park, packed up and headed towards Geelong. We made a quick find with time running down for the check-out at the caravan park.

Didn't sight the listed trackable "Travelling Turtle Geocoin- Shellybobbob" (TB4RG90).

SL . . Thanks for the hunt TaylaM.

Found on a quick Ararat trip. Nice bush walk thanks for showing us this area

King and Queen 11/11/13 on way home from Stawell drove around the area and parked, , king went to fing GZ which he did, but lots of people on the bridge and so walk back to Turtle ( the motor home) and headed of to melbourne, will return.. TKS TaylaM

Find #827 @1630

After finding a place to park I legged it into GZ, this gave me the chance to eat some KFC before heading home. I had a good look around GZ to make sure that there was no snakes around under the bridge as with the heat and the long grass made me a bit weary of them.

Took dinosaur
Left crayon rubber

TFTC

A nice short walk and a quick find at 3:20pm on our way to Halls Gap.
TNLN
thanks TaylaM

A pretty spot to walk.

Found by Roma and Max.
This was our second find for today on our way home from a weekends camping with geo friends.
Pleasant walk in to GZ and an easy find, thank you TaylaM
From Romax.

It took us a couple attempts to find access to this area but once we did, it was a pleasant walk along a relatively dry path to GZ. The cache was a quick find - the contents were in good condition. TFTC TaylaM

Suscoe's 4th find of the morning.
We enjoyed a nice short walk to GZ.
The location took a while to find but eventually the container was in hand after the muggle walker passed by.
Log signed and on our way, thanks to TaylaM for showing us this spot.
Fascinating to see the horses being exercised as we walked back to the car.

As Mrs M enjoyed her family reunion in Ararat, Mr M decided to slip away for a little caching as he knew he wouldn't be missed.

Took a pleasant walk along the creek and found what proved to be a tricky hide. TFTC TaylaM.

Found by 4 year old geokid. Thankfully,there were no muggles because when the 4 year old finds a cache, the whole world knows!! Signed and replaced. TFTC

Another great find while on holiday in the area.

SL TFTC

Our first successful find on our way to Adelaide. Looked for two others but they had been trashed! Heading off for a 4 day fundraising bike ride for guide dogs. In the car we have 5 adults ( 3 blind!) 2guide dogs, 2 tandem bikes & a pod on top! Lots of laughs!!

A short stroll to GZ and an easy find.
No TB's in cache.
T: sewing kit
L: T-rex
Thanks for the cache, TaylaM

Taking a bit of R & R after doing the fireworks for the Air show we decided to take dad (SuperPop) home to Portland a round about way collecting a few caches along the way.
Our in car navigator again led us astray and decided that the best way to this cache was straight through people's back yards. Fortunately it didn't take too long to find the correct way to access the walking track and we were soon watching the numbers count down as we headed towards gz. Once there we were quite happy that it hadn't been raining and there was no water to be seen anywhere which made locating the cache quite a bit more pleasant. We were happy to say that the container was much larger than what we were searching for.
Thanks TaylaM for the cache.

Short walk pretty easy too find the geo kids love seeing the horses TFTC

Found on our BIG Little Event trip. We drove around for a few minutes trying to find a parking spot. Then it was a quick walk to GZ, where the cache was in hand. Good hide. TNLN. Thanks!

Took the short walk to GZ. A quick find but not before a jogger ran overhead. Lol. TNLN Thanks for the hunt

Yay - found it today - thanks TaylaM for setting up this cache. Enjoyed the stroll from the car to the cache and was only interrupted by a lone jogger, a couple of feathered friends and horses in a nearby paddock charging from one end to the other. I certainly enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Well, there wasn't much water but there was certainly a bridge! Nice hide, and certainly not in the most obvious spots. TFTC!

Made this one a drive by, can I say that. Nice quick find on a Boxing day trip back home. TFTC

Hello, Can someone please verify if the Travelling Turtle Geocoin is still in this Cache?
Thank you

Staying at the Grampians for the week. Time for some sight seeing & the best way is thru geocaching. SL TNLN TFTC

We walked in partially from one direction, then changed tactics and approached from the opposite. The cache was quickly in hand at 1545hrs. T: dinosaur L: a different dinasaur and a wooden ladybug We really appreceated the nearby seat after our walking and an afternoon of geocaching. Thanks for taking us to this very nice area, so close to "suburbia" TaylaM.

Found on our way home to mount gambier TFTC. No trackable though:(

Nice quick find. Quiet path no muggle activity except I appeared to be the amusement of a local pony. TFTC.
