I couldn't find it. My gps took me onto the tracks. I had a tough time. I went through the tunnels and still no luck. Maybe need to think outside the box a bit more
Went thru the rabbit-hole and had not read the note until I got there. Could be a good hide nearby even though it has less cover than previously.

Cache has been taken, it's original hiding place has been cut down and all other beautiful trees at the bottom have been cut down. Sad! Need to get creative.
Has to be the coolest location ever, so much fun, geokiddies had way to much fun. TFTH
mmmm found where it was (well would have been) searched about a bit and read the logs for an idea of where it is now.
perhaps you should update this one.
Thanks for bringing us here though. we were staying nearby for a few days and enjoyed Bendigo and some of its caches

We headed to Bendigo to attend another Flash Mob.
The day was a lot hotter than we realized it would be but we still managed to find a few caches.
Thanks to everyone for placing the caches.
We looked in all the wrong spots for this one before slapping ourselves in the forhead when we found the hiding spot.
Thanks for showing us these cool tunnels.

Found with Mum and Dad after the Flash Mob.
I had such a fun time finding them all.

An adventure retreiving this!!! Thanks Weeeeesa for the hide!! ..... a definite favourite.
found this a while ago, only just getting around to logging this, found it with muller38
Eventually found it. My gps had me up on the tracks for some reason. Clear sky, so not sure why, but this was my the first time today it was out by a few metres. Oh well, used my intuition and found it quickly. Great spot. TFTC.
Found by Mary & David at 1810. We'd driven by here last time we were in town but didn't have enough time to tackle the cache. Today was the day. Some mirth as we approached the entrance - "You take the high road and I'll take the low road - You go left and I'll go right". At least it took us out of the hot sunshine. Some of us can stand upright in there and some can't. The other end is very well decorated - very colourful. Found the cache, too, after a short search. Our thanks to Weeeeesa.
Lovely hiding spot and many distractions around!! Took: Bubbles Left: Dora the explorer
In Bendigo for the Leisure Fest at the race track and we started looking for your cache but to no avail. Called on our friends Romax who as previous finders should know where it was and in the end it was found within a more "life" friendly position. Coords were still good, but future cachers may need to think more Longitudingly (is that a word!) in order to find it. Thanks Weeeeeesa for the cache.
Found again today with our friends The Swaggies.
GZ has certainly changed since our last visit with the tree accommodating the container now history and the container now in a more appropriate niche much more comfortably away from the railway tracks, although future flood conditions may pose a problem!
Thanks again Weeeeesa.

We're up here for our Anniversary weekend away - yey!! It was GMelb's turn to choose the location (we alternate so it's a surprise for the other half!) He chose Bendigo coz there is so many caches to find and we havent been up here since we got "into caching" Lucky we both like caching!! lol
This was the first cache we found today at a very cute Alice in Wonderland-esque location!
GMelb followed the clue but in the end we figured the cache had been moved and the hint not updated and then we found it.
TFTC Weeeeesa! GJMMelb

A very adventurous jog/walk to this spot and glad we took the route we did to this spot.... However once at GZ despite a lot of searching by the two of us we could turn up nothing.... Tried a few approaches, although without a torch we couldn't check absolutely every spot. Tis a bit of a pity as we would have like to have knocked off this one. Great little secret spot here.... Glad to be introduced to it if nothing else!
Found with ronnienash at night. Had fun exploring the area before finding the cache. TFTC.
Found while night caching with DoorMatt. after and extensive search of the area, we came back and found it where we should have looked first. TFTC
Great spot and fabulous first find for us. Lots of treasures for swapping in the container. Thanks!
The Coffee's picked this one up today.
Thanks for the cache Weeeeesa

Found #1107 @ 1635 Hrs whist in Bendigo to attend the Tigersden - 250 Hides Event. A couple of milestones this Weekend with my Son (Warrior99) achieving his 100 finds & me able to log his first hide...
I was out & about with Warrior99 on a cool, but pleasant winters afternoon... Enjoyed the pleasant stroll to GZ... Could still smell the paint from the local 'artwork'... GPS had us 5-7 metres from GZ...
Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks for bringing me here. *Cache Condition ~ Fine...

We actually made our way towards GZ across an uninviting water feature. The cache was in hand on the second pass, our name in the log and a little time left to enjoy the art work.

Found it but I don't think it is in its original place as the GPSr was telling me it was in another place.

I am surprised it has not been muggled. The local youths must have something else to do that keeps them indoors. No trains
Found this one dispite the trees where GZ was having been removed. We explored the area around GZ a bit before moving on - a interesting area. TFTC.
Great location. However could not find the cache. Trees removed etc. My son found it in bits (very lucky as he usually cant find his nose). We fixed it up and placed it in a likely location but it needs checking and a possible move.
Nice easy find. Was a bit worried about the local transport at the site, but thankfully nothing came puffing past. The features down low are quite creative at GZ. Thanks for brining us to this location. TNLN. SL.

I couldn't resist a play in the rabbit holes but 24 hours ago it might not have been possible.
Nice easy find in a park that I'm sure I cached in years ago.
Thanks

5526. [font=Century Gothic][green]Wandered over and had a quick, but not close enough look where I thought the cache would be. Then wandered elsewhere before going through both halfway. Then back to the original spot from a different direction and there was a cache. Love tunnels so followed the rabbit through a couple of times after the find.

Heading up to Wedderburn for The Old Blokes event " A day out in Wedderburn" and after spending the night in Bendigo we decided to try our luck at some of the local caches before heading of town. We followed the notes on the cache page about the Breen St access and once parked where a little confused about how to get to gz and then Diane spotted something that made a lot more sense of the cache name. We headed off down the rabbit hole to gz where once we got our elevation sorted out the cache was quickly found and our name has been added to the log.
Our thanks to Weeeeesa for placing this cache

Nicely done Weeeeesa. Very quiet and spooky down the rabbit hole - particularly as it was approaching dusk.
We needed one for our calendar (May is our least filled in month so we have been saving up the local ones.) Knew this one was very close to work so called in on the way home. There are lots of these rabbit holes along here - most of them highly decorated - the kids take candles and torches in there so they can see their art. It also means the locals can spot them and call the police! TFTC
Found it No. 4828 ... found the rabbit hole, then it was easy ... TNLN ... TFTC Weeeeesa
Thanks Weeeeesa for a real good cachie, good hints and very clever

First cache after dinner. Cool tunnels, and impressive redbacks Cheers Gav [11175]
Plenty of water flowing today, but managed to stay upright.
Loved the search for this cache.

Not so much down the rabbit hole, but eventually it was found in all its railway camo! TFTH!
A walk through the rabbits hole and then out and we soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks Weeeeesa

Found on a freezing cold day. Thankfully not to wet. Well trodden geotrails made locating it easier than it may have been TFTC
#74 - wow! What a great little spot so close to town! I love all the 'decoration' 'in the rabbit holes'! TFTC Weeeeesa
Decided to attempt this one after dropping daughter at work. Had no idea these 'rabbit holes' were here. Romax was probably too busy sleeping after getting a FTF on our puzzle cache at 3am this morning! Nice hide, well done. TFTC
Now you realy need to be quick for a FTF these days, thought i would be beaten by romax but instead got to GZ to find two other cachers signing the log, the difference between running when the cache is published and waiting to read the cache notes
Found at 9.50am. I arrived at the location to find Tamzy already there. Tamzy was pretty quick off the mark, because I was only 1.4km away and left straight away. Tamzy told me where she had already searched and advised me of the hint, which eliminated a few areas. We had a short search as a team and found the well camouflaged cache. I loved the first to find prize, and just had to take it. I left some bubbles, a cpl of $$ and a TB.
Congratulations on your first hide, the location is suitable with a play ground nearby. Great effort. TFTC

Found by Roma and Max.
Congratulations on your first hide and for the accurate co-ordinates for GZ.
We were some 40kms away when we received notice of it being published.
This is the second time this morning that we have searched in an area previously occupied by a cache placed by The Morris, both now archived.
Regards,
from Romax.

Was on my way to big w when the alert came up, woohoo I thought I might get a FTF! Got there first frantically searching when I heard some one else approaching. Billywillysillydilly came along and had his hands on the container first. Decided to share the FTF! Just as we finished along came tigersden who just missed the mark, TFTC!
Alarm goes off on geophone so we made a slow trip infor a third to find
Thanks tnlnsl
Great spot kids loved it
