Wedderburn 2012 : Korong Shire hall Wedderburn, Victoria, Australia
By the old blokes on 29-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3J9VV

Sorry. Must Archive.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Get out of jail card is in play, we have taken two weeks off from the farm. Mini tour from Porepunkah to where-ever and back catching some caches on the way

Day 7 - Bendigo (Lockwood South) to Stuart Mill (Kara Kara National Park)

Found, but needs attention. Receptacle in the garden found, but no log

As previous finder stated I also found the cover away from where should've been. Located where it should have been. Will contact CO the comfirm.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Not too many people around this Monday just before noon. I had been seeing a lot of the George and Annis Bills Horse Troughs, so it was nice seeing one that was actually full of water for all the nearby horses (and other animals, I suppose) to drink from.

I only found this one because it is not properly attached - it is on the ground below where it belongs (otherwise I suspect I might not have found it before I ran out of patience...)
It's not particularly conspicuous, but certainly open to rain getting in if there was much. The pencil had got out, too, and it looked like a couple of muggles had signed the log book. I returned the pencil to the container.

Quite minor too (and within a reasonable range), but I think the coords are about 5m north of where they should be. That certainly led me to concentrate on the wrong area initially.

Thanks for the cache; looks like it would be a neat hide when properly attached.

A muggle about just as we got to GZ. Good caching by geokid & he had the cache in hand. TFTC ‍‍‍

JSando and I headed to Mildura with TheirMum tagging along for the long weekend to host a Geocaching Victoria event to promote The Parkville Event in November. Whilst at the event, we met up with Jaktembo and decided to cache together for the rest of the weekend with this being our first. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in and around Mildura, visiting many different locations that we'd never see otherwise. Found on our way home. Thank you so much for bringing us here. TFTC

Found with Carkisser and JSando on the way home from a great mildura weekend. Great hide. Gave it a favorite.

Parked neer by soon had cache in hand.

Staying in town at the nearby motel and decided to go for a little walk and a cache. Found after a little seating about, very impressive hide! Worth a fave from us. Thanks the old blokes for the nice hide.

A quick find in the middle of town on a cool day. Clever camo. TFTC.

Search abandoned due to muggles yacking in the front garden of neighbouring property... They had their eyes on us so no chance today. Hopefully on next pass through town though!

— Been a while, Easter Day geo hunting after our egg hunt!!

Found after a long search

Tricky Tricky !!!
After a long look around we finally found it and learnt a lot the shire offices!

Another find on an evening treasure hunt. We love these hides by the Old Blokes.

Out for a day of caching with the Geo-Mum while visiting the family in Bendigo for Christmas. This was our eighth of eleven caches for the day. After looking where we thought it would be as we had done several of these before, we soon had to widen our search area paying more attention to the GPS and Mr Pooky soon worked it out. A lot of effort has gone into this hide. Apart from a few cars whizzing by there was no-one around today. A favourite from us. Left one TB and took another. TFTC.

After completing the Victorian Country Road Atlas Challenge it was time to head home to SA. Grabbed a few caches along the way. TFTC.

Finally found this sneaky cache and celebrated with a bottle of bubbly or at least we left a Wine Cache buddy Trackable. Good luck little guy and TFTC!

Second time lucky. This one is tricky but well done! Found with Kelligula while geo-teen waited in the car.
(Kelligula left a trackable)

Sorry! Forgot to log maintenance visit. After beckNmont's log I took a look and all is well with the cache. Lew log and container
The cache is too popular for us to let it be disabled for too long.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
Despite numerous Good Samaritan replacement logs from seekers, this cache still seems to be in some sort of trouble.

Perhaps it's time for the CO to have a look and see exactly what is happening here.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)

Please respond to this situation by **27th December** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

What a great cache. It was open when I arrived, so didn’t take much funding. There was nothing in there so I added a new log and pencil, so if you like you can remove he need owner maintenance. TFTC the old blokes

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Since we have been geocaching this wonderful hobby has taken us to some magnificent locations and buildings and this one is no exception. Thank you for the information on the cache page, some buildings don't have plaques and leave you wondering about the history of the building.
As mentioned by Speedmistress there appears to be a problem with GZ.
SL TFTC

Found the cache hide quickly however there was no log book to sign. Did find some stickers left by the last finders with their log on it. Also found a half eaten pack of chips..... Ummmm.... looks like this one may be muggled. I added some pages in a plastic bag, included the log of the previous finder onto it and added my signature along with that of Muff1. Thanks for the little history lesson.

A great day of Geocaching with my mates Muff1 who supplied the transport and local knowledge today. Started with the St Arnaud CITO and finished back home at 11.40pm. SL TNLN TFTC.

Recording a found it log even though I did not leave my mark in the official log book. It appears I may have found the hide as it has all the hallmarks of geocaching camo but without the log book. Delete if not allowed. I have sent cache owners a message.

Chose this one on the chance that the CO had replaced the log without a Owner Maintenance log. SUrprise they have as nice new (blank) log book and container were found.

Turned this one in to a smiley.

Attempt two at finding a cache in Wedderburn to close out this square of the Victorian Road Atlas challenge. The first had a muggle camped on top of it and this one appears to have gone walk about. We didn't have the previous needs maintenance log in the GPSr but we also only found the hide and no cache.

I looked everywhere and can only think that this is the cache but couldn't find the container sorry if I'm wrong.

Mary and Mark both love historical buildings. The cache was easy for Mary as she walked straight up to where it would be hidden. Mark too, had the same idea, so we signed the log, replaced the cache and we headed off for some more caching. Thanks.

18/02/2017 - 5.59pm - No. 862 - 17th of 17 finds & 1 dnf for the day - with Surefoot24 & Darren (who was back at accommodation by this time) on a Geocaching weekend to attend the weekends 9 month to event event & find others while in the area & with additional caching partner of jtnsilo .

Good things eventually come to an end & we decided it was time for us to be heading home or to our accommodation. We had to find "just one more" on our way back to where jtnsilo had left her car. We arrived at gz & did a bit of peering & puzzling before I had a bit of a closer inspection of something. Hey, what about ..., hmmm ..., ... Found it! What a great bit of camo! Very clever. Signed, sealed & returned to it's home. Thanks for the cache. Some people are just plain tricky! A well deserved favourite point has been added.

*18/2/17, 9:43 pm, Find # 6354.*

On my tour around town before heading back to camp, a few cache were found, this was one of them.
I noticed the D/T on this one which was interesting so I had to go for a look and I thought that this would be a good time to have a look for it but a few minutes later would have been better.
A had just arrived, I walked passed the horse trough, the building and up to the sign having a quick glance along the way, once at the sign I started to read it and at that time I noticed a car coming along the road so I covered my torch but it happened to but the local police and as he went passed he then did a U-turn and stopped close by.
I wandered over to the car as I figured that he was wanting to talk to me and he said "a bit of sight seeing", I told him well yes and some geocaching as well, we had a little chat, he then continued on his way and I went back to looking for a cache and to my surprise I then found the very nice hide straight away.

**Thanks to the old blokes for placing this cache.**

well I can't begin to tell you how this has had me stumped on the times that I've persuaded non caching husband to stop so I could look for this cache.we regularly come this through this way and it tauts me every time.. not any more.!! after our touring around today with Surefoot24 and co. we made the find. wow. I've not seen that style before.. I'll be smiling every time through Wedderburn now as I remember the times spent searching to no avail.. a fav point too.

I was lucky enough to go straight to this brilliantly crafted hide. An easy find did not at all diminish my appreciation of this cache. I loved most of all seeing the functioning water trough at the front of this heritage location.
TFTC and thank you for bringing me here.

**Find #: 5064**

Today PamJ and I travelled to Wedderburn for the 9 months to Alexandra 2017 event.
This cache was found along the way.
A very clever little construction, found after looking in a few wrong places.
**Thanks for placing this cache the old blokes**

That was tricky, but good hide! Very public space, but there aren't always people around. TFTC

Found it after a little help. Coordinates seem to be 5m off. Well made hide though. TFTC

This is a trickie one we needed some help from a freind on this one great hiding spot With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

This one had us wandering around and around until we left and decided to seek some advice at the meet we were attending.

With that advice in mind and our event logged, we headed off and found the cache easily.

TFTC. We love exploring old town and learning the history. Caching provides an opportunity to do this as we travel the countryside. The GPS honed into the location and the senses also decided where the cache would be. We read the board and went around to view the front of the building. Then quickly retrieved the cache from a very clever hiding place.

After a nice lunch in the nearby park with the dog, i swung by here for the town face

What a hide. With 20min of searching, i was having no luck. Where could one hide a cache around here? I tried pulling things open on horse trough, tried letterbox. Zero clue. Google earth had my coords right on the front door. A PAF led me in the right direction for a quick find.

Very clever hide and well constructed. The coords through me a little - awesome work!

After caching around the St Arnaund area for three days it was time to head home, I had heard there were some quality caches over at Wedderburn so I decided to head that way before making my way home, it was a little tricky caching with the van in tow but I manged to grab quiet a few quality cahes. Thanks the old blokes for the cache.

Like the hiding spot TFTC;)

Out with brisal5 and Anymules on a big day and night of caching. The boys made quick work of this one.
Thanks

Staying at Redbanks overnight with Anymules and Mogni to attend the 3 months till the Surf Coast event in St Arnaud. Up early we have all morning to cache our way to the event. In preparation we had solved 25 nearby puzzles so they were on our 'must do' list. A day of caching with me usually involves blood spilled, a fall and/or ripped clothing. I wonder which order they will be in today? Not to mention lots of laughs and adventures.
20 cache finds and no DNFs later we found ourselves at the event we came for. So after a few snags, a few chats and lots of trackables discovered it was time to cache again. [^]
With light fading we decided to leave other caches and concentrate on puzzles. By the time we had stopped for dinner we had added a further 25 cache finds to out total, still with no DNFs. [:O)]
Over dinner we discussed what to do during the evening. A challenge back home need three night caches found in one night. All of us had done way more than that but none had done three in one night. There were two in St. Arnaud but we would have to drive to Wedderburn for the third. Pizza consumed. Decision made. Break out the torches. [^]
With the three night caches added to our tally it was time to cache our way back to our digs once again. Probably be tomorrow before we get there.
With so many favourite points we just had to give this a go. The GPS says it has to be here, so a quick feel and I soon had discovered the camo. Good one. Thanks the old blokes.

A nice easy find. Well constructed. TFTC. 20/08/2016, 9:59 PM Find #2669

TFTC! Found with Geobutterfly79, pip08 and my Brother (muggle). There was no pen inside though, so it was lucky Geobutterfly79 had A pen with her. TNLN

TFTC very clever hide. Golden rule don't forget a pen - because of size I thought there would be a pen/pencil in cache but I was mistaken. Quick run back to the car and mistake was remedied.

Found quickly but not so easy to put back but finally got it thanks for the cache. LS

On a week long road trip with my daughter geogrrl in [OVT](https://coord.info/TB70Q77) and this was the fourteenth of seventeen finds as we made our way north to Kerang chasing sunshine. After cutting a few laps of town and grabbing a few photos we hastily chose a couple of Wedderburn caches to visit and this was the second and last. Clever hide.
Thanks

Nice little cache on the way through town cano had us stumped for a while. Took trackable.
TFTC. Yowie17

Thanks for the stop and find cache, interesting town, too bad not enough time to look for more around town.

Thanks for the quick find on a drive through town, big enough cache to drop off a trackable.

What a day!! Spent about two and a half hours on what should have been a simple multi and then pulled up to this one which we spotted straight away and got baled up by a local for ages. He told us that the signs around the town were inaccurate and were all about telling a 'good story' and not accurate. He also reckoned that the Historical Society in town should be called the Hysterical Society!!! Needless to say we were here quite a while and had to feign an interest in what he was telling us.
But thanks for the smiley, a great hide that deserves a favourite point.

Travelling around town picking up a few local caches before the BBQ event in the company of Sully1 ,The Empire and TR! Another cacher recommended this hide as a must do, so in the coarse of our morning caching trip we stopped for a look see. The other Triton put his hands on it inadvertently nearly straight away but that didn't lessen the delight we had in the manufacturing of this sneaky hide.
Thanks the old blokes for another masterpiece, a favourite point added.

Found by The Empire @ 9:30am
On my way to the Day Out in Wedderburn 2016 event, picked up about 5 caches before meeting up with friends for some caching adventures. Pulling into a ghost town - picked up an ice coffee and wondered where everyone was. I headed for the caravan park and drove past the netball courts and footy oval - that's where the whole town in on a Saturday morning! Love it. Thanks for the cache the old blokes, favourite point awarded!

As we were pulling into Wedderburn for the event, we noticed a sign and an old building. "There's got to be a cache there!" said Geohubby. As we arrived at GZ we spotted a rather sheepish Papillon3506, who told us that if we wanted to fid the cache it was going to be very difficult, as it was still in her hand. Signed the log and returned it to its spot. Excellent camo... I know how many of the caches we enjoyed in the town, and I think I will be running out of favourites... TFTC

Was expecting something basic but this was cleverly placed!! Thanks for the hide!!Found with locuscache and Goodlook on a weekend in Victoria. The main aim of the trip was to attend the Old Blokes events in Wedderburn and to grab as many of the caches in the area. We also found quite a few on the way there and the way home and had some “interesting” experiences 4WD ing on some back tracks!

Very clever!!! You guys are legends!!

Day 2 of 3 - Found whilst on a road trip with CPwanderer and Locus Cache from Adelaide to Wedderburn, Victoria. The aim of the trip was to attend "A Day Out in Wedderburn 2016" all day caching event (TICK [^] ) and then enjoy the Evening Meal event (TICK [^] ).

During this weekend we found some fun and creative caches and caught up with our Victorian geofriends once again.

The funny one-liner comments flowed all weekend and my belly hurt from all of the laughter!! [:o)] [^].

Unfortunately we had a minor car accident last night whilst traveling to Wedderburn [B)] - lost control of the vehicle (fortunately we were traveling very slowly) and we got bogged on a wet and slippery Victorian country dirt road [xx(]...ummmm.....at the time we may have been heading toward a possible gold which we missed , however we did eventually get out of the mud after a long wait and exchanging a fair bit of cash [:(!].

I LOVE geocaching [:X], but I HATE mud [:(!]!! LOL

Thanks for the cache

Cool. Great hide

This was a very clever hide that was made all the more difficult with the amount of passing traffic. Once I felt I had a minute or two to myself, made a quick find. Signed the log and was waiting for an opportune time to replace it when two people got out of their car and sauntered towards me. I was hoping to get the chance to return the cache to its hiding place but once I noticed them looking at their phones, I realised it wasn't going to happen. Unfortunately for them, I still had it in hand and could do nothing but give it to them to sign and show them where to return it. Sorry guys 'cause it was well worth the favorites it has earned. Another from me. Thanks "the old blokes".

TFTC. While waiting for the event to start for dinner decided to go and do some caches. Took us about 10 minutes to find it. Had a little feel around and happy to find it. Our first difficult 4

Good hide was impressed on the work
Thanks the old blokes for putting this cache out for us to find

After arriving at Gz and reading some of the previous logs, the team and I worked out a likely spot and as i was feeling around the cache exposed itself. Cigc. Tftc

We all got a bit excited when we saw the t/d rating as we'd not had one before. Excitement turned to angst when we thought we might not be able to find it, but alas the cache gods sent it down for us to log. Tftc

Another group assault on a very cool cache. Very excited to get d4. Tftc

Sean.75, kenare, Jenno3 and myself hit Wedderburn today and had a ball. I really enjoyed the hunts and laughs that we all had. I didn't think that we would find this as quickly as we did. tftc

My first degree of difficulty of 4. Gotta love geocaching. Tftc

Found with emthegem. After searching in the wrong area we widened the search and soon had cache in hand. Sooooo many muggles and police. Clever camouflage and container. Thanks for the challenge!

Found with Teamlauren. A very tricky hide. We searched in where we thought it would be with no luck. After wodening our search TeamLauren soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks old blokes for a great day of fun. This one took us a good half an hour. Very tricky we spent most of the time looking in the wrong area. Very well done! (signed log as kptwit68)

Well I will admit that I got lucky with this find. I found this while I was trying to not to look suspicious. Tftc

McBagi's adventure log: #024-K. Aha!! Super tricky yet super obvious. Nice cache, thx

Spent a while looking around, trying to look inconspicuous as the local constabulary slowing drove past us checking us out. After they had plodded on, we continued the search and finally made the nice find.


Cache #6772. TFTC the old blokes

Found on our way home from the Melbourne Event. Very clever, well constructed and nice attention to detail. Cache #2297.

Really liked this.... Well constructed, well hidden! Good day for Hamish and Andy's race that slows down the nation! TFTC!!!

Found with some help from my geodad. Tftc!!

Well, this one didn't take too long since there weren't too many places it could be, but boy I'm impressed with this hide - it looked so natural, yet wasn't! The log book was full so I added a new log sheet to the cache. Hope that's OK. This is definitely worth a favourite point from me! Thanks again old blokes for yet another amazing cache!

Looked a bit sus searching here today took a while but worth it in the end love your cache get a fav tftc

Looked a bit sus here searching everywhere for this cache trying to look like tourists but worth it found the cache signed and replaced

Day 3 of the Bendigo trip with sushilord, Moneydork and Tounga.
It's always interesting how much time caching consumes on the drive home
34 finds and 1 DNF during the journey made for a very late night arrival back in Adelaide but Oh, what fun was had

Originally I thought the cache was about the water trough but it's actually about the building
Geodad had found this previously and so geobro and I got out and had to search for ourselves... I think geodad expected to be waiting for ages but thankfully I spotted the hide fairly quickly!
Very clever and evil

Travelling around Australia with our Cat.

Staying longer in St Arnaud, than we first thought, today we headed back up to Wedderburn to try and add to our existing smilies. Hmm well we tried, but there are soo many caches up here. We fell short of our mission again today, think this is our 4th day caching in town.

What an amazing day in this amazing area. Just love the history and the scenic places geocaching has taken us to in this region.

Loved this one. So brazen.

Thanks for placing your cache to assist with our touring of the area, and feeding our geoaddiction. the old blokes

Nice and quick tftc

Favourite find so far, took a good 30 minutes.

dnf last time were here had to give up because of muggles. was lucky today had just started searching when I touched something that wasn't quite right. a very well constructed hide tftc

[green]2 of the day and Find # 5416[/green]...

Sadly, it was time to say goodbye to Wedderburn and thanks for a fantastic weekend... It's was a great weekend of fun and fellowship!... Headed off en route to Warrnambool, had an enjoyable drive around many beautiful area's...

It was great to stop every now and then to stretch the ol' legs and grab a cache... A bit of a stroll, a bit of a search, made the find, stamped the log and returned...

My sincerest thanks to the old blokes for the effort gone into this cache... I have seen many beautiful area's that I would not of seen or experience if not for your hide..

Didn't think it would be hidden there

Fortunately we had a tiny hint re this cache. I'm sure we would have been still looking without it. It was so well constructed and camoed. A very big favourite from us.

Early on Sunday morning, I when and found 'little red'
On the way back to the motel, I search and found this cache too.

Thank you for the hide the old blokes

Found with LouiseAnn. I picked where I thought it would be. I was wrong. Louise made the find. Tftc

Took us a while to locate and wow what a super hide and cache construction.
A favourite point from us and TFTC

Out caching with 2peasinapod2012, while attending the Wedderburn meet & greet event.
Been to Wedderburn a couple of time befor, but never as a cacher, this now puts a whole new
Look on the area that I never looked at before.
Great cache and a clever hide,
Thanks the old blokes

We had the advantage of finding this one late Saturday arvo on our way to the Evening event so minimal traffic. Very clever hide! Found with Gemmasiemensma +2, neisha07, boo09 & chan02. TFTF

I walked to this one with chunk of chooknchunk from the dinner and lucky I had a little hint. Very cool camo and cache construction. A favourite from me.

We were walking around in circles for quite a while as our gps was jumping about. I was convinced it was on the building. WRONG. Glanville Girls made the find with a little push from a passing cacher! A definite favourite from me. Thanks the old blokes.
