Found but the cache is missing

Great hide - obvious yet clever. Found while stoking up the family at the general store. TFTC

Gotcha you sneaky little thing. Clever little spot regular cachers may have experienced before.
Tftc.
Now back to work!

Cache found quickly and in good condition.

Thanks for the cache.

4 left to find

Day 5 and final day of KmanNZ VIC/NSW Summer Roadtrip 2018
Heading back home towards Pakenham today - caching the country back roads.
Goal to find 1000 caches in 2018 - well and truly completed

***NO CLUES OR HINTS IN THE FOLLOWING TEXT***

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.
I’m currently working on a Project-GC challenge to get the average word count on my logs over 200 words.
So please ignore the rest of this log as it is just nonsense and song lyrics.
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, and 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
Well, It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful, when
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
Well I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Found but very sneaky good hide

Went around and around and around while waiting out a heavy downpour of rain. Then decided to have another look at something and sure enough there it was!

As an avid geelong supporter good one to find Go Cats.

pulled up to find a school using the playground and undercover area. Decided to leave this for another day

What was to have been a quick weekend trip to Melbourne to accompany leafotwind on his 3,000th cache find (since I had also recently completed the Victorian Premiers whereigo ) became an 8 day trip because there was a CITO [^] at Traralgon the next day which then led to Mallacoota and the Snowy Mountain Highway [^] since I couldn't legally use the Great Alpine Road as I didn't have snow chains because the boring freeway back to Melbourne and then back to Shepparton didn't sound like fun

The first day, I met my sister in Bendigo as she waited for her semi to be unloaded and reloaded, so we went op shopping in the meantime[:X] From there it was off to Melbourne and the group find of the Victorian Premiers whereigo which had taken me to many spots in Victoria [^] Then the group slogged our way up a slippery, muddy slope [|)][xx(] to get a couple of simple drive by 4 x 4 caches (when the tracks are open) before caching on into the night

I made a find on a previous DNF at Moe then it was off to Clean Up a Creek at Traralgon [^] followed by finding some bloody good caches (both containers and reasons for placement) around the area with leafotwind, NoWorries andAlphaDeltaIndigo [:X], chatting to Crisp image as the group found Wherever I Lay My Hat before Rex and I left the group, walking in the Crinigan Road Bushland Reserve at dusk[^], seeing a huge Dr21 dredger once used for coal mining and now placed at Morwell, finding a tiny grave in the middle of a shopping area , finding my 1st 3D printed cache container and then it was off to the Lakes Entrance area and wandering out on the peninsula[^]

Seeing old RAAF airfields and radio bunkers, seeing tiny country towns and meeting some great people (including an almost muggle woman and her children in Mallacoota where she had previously looked for 1 cache and who may now get into geocaching properly [^]), seeing the sun rise while surrounded by kangaroos and standing on the eastern coast of Vic and chatting with Rollmatrix throughout my time in Mallacoota and Genoa

Spending a few hours chatting with a lovely truckie, Michael [:X], who was on a wood chip run to Canberra as we traversed the countryside in the dark (after I had apologised for slowing down his fully laden rig as Harry crawled his way up a hill ) then I pulled into Cooma for a break and an EC and also found a cache, Southern Cloud, about the aircraft accident and then accidentally ended up at another memorial cache, Southern Comfort, Southern Cloud or Southern Storm, later on in the trip

Seeing brumbies amongst the snow along the edge of the road at night in the mountains in NSW [^], seeing a thermal pool early in the morning with steam rising from it in the cold air and water plants growing up from the sandy bottom [^], seeing the grave of the alleged Man from Snowy River while finding the multi The Man from Snowy River - HCPPP [^] and then chatting to SciFiRulz who I managed to sneak in a quick visit with before heading home and finding The Highest Railway Station on the way

Over the 8 days there was 9 DNFs (although I did manage to find a few on my 2nd attempts ), 1 CITO event attended and a total of 111 cache finds including 3 FTFs

As I am about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

TNLN. SL. TFTC Scozza

I could not find it may need a check up but we will be back

Coming back

After grazing at The Long Paddock nearby we strolled up the street to grab this cache. The last time geoD was here he was in the company of 3000 odd crazy cyclist on the Great Victorian Bike Ride which kind of precluded any sort of caching. No such problems this time with nary another person in sight to prevent the find of the nice little hide.

TNLN SL TFTC

Great spot to stop on the way to Dargo. TFTC SL

Heading through to the High Country to do some 4WDing and grab some caches as we find them. TFTC.

Found it. Clever one

The long weekend was here and it was time for fitzy_1965 and I to head down to Vic in the geo-unit for an epic geomission We had a great time camping, cruising around admiring the beautiful scenery and nabbing LOTS of caches! A great weekend of quality caching all round!

Tried this one a couple of times due to muggles. Fitzy bought a tasty pastie for lunch so we went over and sat under the shelter. The muggles were still hanging around so when they were preoccupied with their phones, I went in for the stealthy find, sign and replace. Muggles none the wiser!

Thanks for the hide, Scozza

14761. Found during a long weekend caching run down through the Bombala / Genoa / Mallacoota / Cann River / Orbost / Lakes Entrance / Bairnsdale regions with specimenX.

A long weekend caching plan was hatched with specimenX to head down to Victoria for 4 days of caching and camping. Had a fantastic time driving around enjoying the scenery, camping at various locations, plus the huge number of caches to be found. Day Four was here, and we packed up again. Next find for the day. The first time we tried this there were muggles sitting near GZ. Upon our return after grabbing another nearby cache there were some more muggles nearby, but we brought our lunch over to eat there and some stealthy recovery work by specimenX had the cache in hand. Signed the log, returned the cache, and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for placing their caches !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Very cleaver hide!

A nice gong while son was playing at the park
TFTC

A good cache. It was right where it was supposed to be!

Found by Mary & David, in company with Alansee, at 1130. On a beautiful sunny Sunday not a soul about, which made it very convenient to search. The engineer spotted soemething that didn't quite add up. Nice and clever, and a FP too. Our thanks to Scozza.

Found by The Empire
On my way to the Den of Nargun circuit walk this morning. The wind was starting to howl, but it wasn't as hot as yesterday. Cool camo, favourite point added. Thanks for the cache Scozza.

Found on a road trip to Bairnsdale with Geoturtle37, OzHockeyChick and Pinkpiggy7. There were a few muggles about when we arrived but they didn't pay us much attention. PP7 found the hide soon enough but the log had gone awol, so I grabbed a spare from our CRK (Cache Repair Kit). Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache

Found the cache no log papilion4506 had a spare. Tftc

Found during another road trip with Papillon4506, Geoturtle37 & Pinkpiggy7.
Great little park. Few kiddie muggles around. Stealth mode engaged.
Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find. Cheers

Found the cache, but there was no log inside. Spotted the geocaching sticker that said Bunjil had visited so knew we had definitely found it. Took a photo as proof and will try and send to CO (Won't post publicly in this log coz it's a massive spoiler) Very clever, we did like this one. TFTC

Found this one but no log to be seen. Knew i was in the right spot because of the sticker but couldn't find anything else in there.

Quick find while passing through town. Tftc

Didn't sign as didn't have a pen!! Great find though

Very clever, nice camo!!

Clever hide that I've come up short with in the past. Found today tftc

First one for a while
Tftc

Woohoo! Enjoying a weekend in Lindenow before having a knee replacement next week. Nice hide. Tftc

14:30
Based in Bairnsdale, for the weekend, to help with a moving house "Event", we took some time out to grab a few caches amongst the rich tapestry of vegetables. This little gem was our last for the day, a great way to finish, leaving our name and a favourite point.

Thanks Scozza for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Cool cache

Heading off on a weeks holiday in the High Country and our what may be our last day after leaving Dargo earlier. We stopped and collected some caches along the road as we head through the area.

A nice easy find here, so thanks Scozza for this tricky placement.

Driving along the Hwy I took a detour to pick up a few caches.

This one took a bit to find. All good with the cache TFTC TNLN

Cycling Wangaratta to Bairnsdale with muggle Belinda. Tftc.

On a day out with the geofam plus uncle Pedro. I've driven passed here many a time on my way to a friend's place down the road. First time in this little park. A ancient muggle maintenance guy was hobbling around for ages removing spider webs- luckily we were able to make use of the play equipment until he left. Excellent hide! Very well thought out! A fav. Tftc

Clearly hidden

Nice and clever

Found it. But it was a tricky one. Muggles here when we arrived but we didn't have to wait too long for them to go. Needing the Muggles to be gone is a clue in itself. Good hide.

very cleverly thought out view excellent

Good hide! Clever but once you see it....it's right there!! Great way to end a sunny autumn family caching day.

Well placed! TFTC

I'm going to give this one another go. I hope we can find it because the amount of time we've already put into this cache is huge. Going to take my little GeoDog out for a bit of fun. He has the noes that knows!

Found today while in town for a cycling race. TFTC

DNF

Checked cache, all good

Tried till I died lol, but I couldn't find this one

Well after 4 attempts the cache has been replaced If you think finding is tricky with the muggle activity try replacing it

Cache damaged, container needs to be replaced.

Looked all around couldn't find it anywhere maybe need to check to see if it still exist

Second time round, found it !

Could not find the geoache

SOMEONE HELP IM COMPLETELY STUCK!!! =P

We spent a good half hour looking all over for this cache and I'm pretty convinced it's been taken away by muggles. Of to the next one. Walking home...

First find after dinner at the pub

Our first find. School holiday fun. Thank you !

On my way to Metung and diverted off the hwy to grab three caches this was the second one. Sl love the cache giving it a fav point. Thanks scozza for the cache.

came back after muggles left and still couldn't find it. Hope it hasn't been removed

Found with O319. TFTC!

Nice container. Quick find with Justjessie and Debandian on a wet mornings caching around Bairnsdale.

What a creative and smart hide. We had to think about it but with my fathers expertise we found it! TFTC

It never stops amazing us the bloody crazy hiding spots unreal !!!!!

One guy and a girl - three nights camping - East Gippsland

We decided to go somewhere camping over the Easter break, Friday saw us have a sleep in, head down the road caching as we went and doing something rare, setting up the tent in daylight! A bit of night caching topped the day off.

Katy being the bright spark was onto this in no time!

Thanks for the cache Scozza!!!

Quick find.TFTC

Suscoe's 3rd find of today on our way home.
A delightful day with a slightly cool temperature.
We had visited once before when a large gathering stopped the chance of a find.
Today all was quiet and we had the place to ourselves.
The cache was soon spotted and the log signed.
Thanks to Scozza for this hide.
Now back to the highway.

Quick find in a lovely park right in the heart of town
Magnificent view across the road over the vegetable farms
No time to stop for a refreshment!
Many thanx to Scozza

Thanks for the cache!

Replaced log

First geocache find!!! Fun. Gavee, Timmy and Hayley

There is something about the 3 of us. We can only seen to cache at night time! 22.30 at night and we are out exploring! Had a go on the swings. Got spooked by a weird sounding bird-or was that a bat? Anyway-a quick find by using the clue. Thanks for bringing us to lindenow.

Found with Stratfordvan and grasshopper25 on a night cache. Tftf

clever hide. I was looking at it and thought it must be it but a muggle came past and I had to act all innocent etc. Then MM read the hint and I knew I was looking at the right place...log came in hand very quickly after that.

Nice little Park in a small country town

TFTC

Sneaky this one! Love it. Getting a bit grotty but definitely legible. Tnln Tftc

Suscoe didn't look today as there was a small party enjoying the surrounds.
Will be back one day.

No muggles in the park today. Managed to do this whilst working in the area. Nice hide scozza!

We did comment on the veggies being grown in the paddocks. Thanks for the cache.

Found on our way through, TFTC

Dipping coin "The Stolen Wang" so it can get it's correct travel distances.

Poiter.h

Great clue,just took this old dumb bum a while to figure it out.Amy was a lovely lady ,tftc

Found after sometime searching had to come back as to many muggles.
A very clever hide and you gain a favourite point from us.
Signed and replaced. TFTC

I really liked this one. Had to use the hybrid map to make sure I was in the right area, and even then it wasnt until hubby said "whats that"?. TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

My first ever cache! TFTC

My little sister's first cache and my cousins 100th!! Great hiding spot! TFTC

My first cache ever! TFTC
