Rail Trail-You can bank on it. Kilcunda, Victoria, Australia
By Gonefishen07 on 04-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3W5J9

Not sure why this one is archived - it is exactly where the co-ordinates took me. Quick find but no log paper in the cache. Placed some paper, signed and replaced cache under a rock.

Time has come

###**ACTION REQUIRED**###

I notice this cache would seem to be in need of some maintenance even though it is still available for seekers.

As the problem is a minor one, as there is some form of log that can still be located **AND** signed, I have not Disabled the cache for now.

However, the issue does need to be addressed - **can you please respond to this situation, or indicated your intention by Write Note log, before 17th August,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

And once you have fixed the problem you need to log a "Owner Maintenance" log to indicate everything is OK and also remove the Needs Maintenance attribute - here's how: [**Remove the “Needs Maintenance” icon**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 )

Eventually found your cache well away from GZ no log & caps missing but after the finding the cache down the track I had a light bulb moment stole some paper from that one & placed in this cache and put back at GZ. Feels like I'm on a maintenance run...TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Apologies for the late log. My family were away in New Zealand so I planned a few caching excursions and I’m still catching up on logs. This was a great day spent on bikes on the Bass Coast Rail Trail with liambaxter88. Rain was forecast so were really pleased to get through till just after lunch when we had to abandon and not before we had brought up Liam’s biggest ever caching day. I apologise for my logs being largely generic as I didn’t take notes on the day and have been slow to log. A couple of tricky ones here and I was lucky that I pulled the bike up right next to this one and spotted it pretty quickly. My 36th of 49 finds for the day. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and the series Gonefishen07.

We didn't find this one particualrly dificult to be honest buy maybe we were just on a roll. I say 'we' although it wasn't actually me that found it.

This series was part of my biggest caching day so far! Thanks to AnnoyingTarbit for taking me down here and Gonefishen07 for the time put into the series. We somewhat managed to avoid most of the rain.

Maybe overgrown now.

Spending some time on Phillip Island and while we found most of the caches we attempted, as usual there were some which certainly got the better of us - not saying it isn't there, just that we didn't have any luck with our search

Thank you Gonefishen07 for having placed the cache for everyone to enjoy

I was in the area and decided to fill in a couple of gaps. TFTC

Found this one fairly quickly.

Like the camo, tfth

Day three of my Victorian Caching Adventure. Time to get put the bicycle I’d hired to work and explore the Bass Rail Trail. I left the bike at my motel and drove out to Anderson parked there and caught a bus back to Wonthaggi so I only had to cycle the one way. A great ride I’d recommend to anyone. The caching along the way was a bonus really. I had a reasonable good hit rate and found most of the ones I looked for. Cheers and TFTC

Excellent cache

A great trail here, nice and easy riding with plenty of caches along the way. Getting closer to the coast now, I have always loved being close to the water so when I moved to Pakenham it was a bit hard to adjust, but thankfully there are places not too far away, like Kilcunda.

A nice quick find here and back on the bike and off to the next.

Thanks Gonefishen07

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.

Find no. 1606

With it being a long weekend what better reason than to have a ball caching with geowife. Saturday we found 130 caches at Mt. Disappointment, but today we got our new bikes out with the goal of finding all the caches on this trail from Anderson to Killy.

Geowife found This one quickly.

Thanks Gonefishin07 for the series.

Found this. Though getting the log out was a bit tricky

Found today whilst out on the geobike. Started this series two years ago and have finally got back. Thanks for the fun and exercise. TFTC

While out in the company of the McLookers we set out to get a start on the trail with bikes ready & roaring, plenty of water and snacks packed we were off. The sun belting down made for a hot ride but with sunscreen applied and our helmets for protection we enjoyed the trail and all caches on offer. Most caches were found with only a few DNF'S as we kept the pace up ...pedal, search, sign, pedal!
Thanks Gonefishen07 for your efforts put into this rail trail series, we had a ball.

Good camo.

In the area on bikes with The Tritonz with the aim of completing the Rail Trail. The grass was very, very long in many places. Fortunately we did not see a snake...I am not sure how as it was a very snakey kind of day. Thanks GF07, it is a brilliant picturesque trail that gave us the opportunity to see another very pretty part of Victoria.

Find 38 of 45 of the day.

Day of geocaching between the Coal Mine and Anderson, a tiring day. Thanks for hiding all these caches Gonefishen07. TFTC

2 in a row. No luck here.

Teamed up with OZHockeyChick to ride the trail and grab a few caches. This is about the third time I have ridden this section of the trail now. Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache.

A day trip with Rebel Acts to do as many of this rail trail as possible. Most of them smileys, with a handful of tough DNFs here and there. A lovely day. Thanks for the series, Gonefishen07

Father's Day geocaching with the whole family, there's nothing better. This is our third section of the rail trail and we are thoroughly enjoying the variety of hides and the stunning views.
Thanks for the hides.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

2nd time out on the trail to find a few more today. Set out for Anderson from Kilcunda, then as far as Powlett River. The effort from the CO is greatly appreciated as i had another fun day. This was 3 of 38 today. Tfts!

A quick find on a cold winters day thanks for the hide

Thanks Gonefishen07.
Chiefton!!!

Nice hide

Beautiful and mostly clear early winter day out with the Geodog. I'd been wanting to talk this series for years as Killy is only a five minute drive from home. Most of the caches in this section were quite easy finds which was handy as it made the walk to Anderson 1 hour 20 minutes and the walk back to Killy 45 minutes. TFTC.

Another find for the afternoon TFTC

Out for a ride with Mark9375 and 4bait. Quick grab and we were on our way. TFTC

Found @ 3:09 pm on the 23 April 2016 thanks for this cache Gonefishen07

I really wanted to do a cache like this for a while now it happend tftc

Nice find while out on the bike with mark9375 and Geojill-11 TFTF

We have done a couple of this kind now always a good one to find tftc with geodude#74

Nice quick find with Lilmissgeo. Clever cache. TFTC!

Love it Tftc

Quick Find. Thanks

Found it with Rexey41 on our bike ride up the rail trail

AN EARLY START FOR US, AS WERE TRYING TO COMPLETE THIS SERIES TODAY, THE WEATHER IS STILL COOL BUT IT WILL WARM UP, THE FLIES ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND THE AEROGUARD DOSENT SEEM TO WORK VERY VELL.
THE HIDES VARIED A LOT, LOTS OF EFFORT HAS GONE INTO THESE. HIDES VARIED ALSO. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE COS FOR PLACING THESE CACHERS FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY. TFTC

A clever little cache that was found quickly . Log signed and back again.

A day caching along the rail trail from Kilcunda to Woolamai. TFTC

The old log in the ------ trick! Love these, but really it's only the second one I've ever seen so far! Thanks

Today, we decided to do this section of the rail trail to get out numbers up to 1600 finds, which we did manage to do quite easily. Rain was threatening by the time we started, after getting off the bus from Kilcunda, where we'd left the car, but we never got wet at all.

We found all of the caches quite easily and it didn't take long to traverse the whole trail, with all logs filled and a smiley face for each, from Anderson to the highway at Kilcunda.

Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache and placements.

This is one we found while in Victoria for the Melbourne event 2015. It was one of a couple I found I had forgotten to log and am only now fixing this problem. We went for the walk down the rail trail with OrionJ and had a very enjoyable time, except for the flies. This was the last one for the day and luckily did not take too long to find and log. We will be back to do some more of the great caches in this area again one day. TFTC Gonefishen07

Taking a little look at the Rail Trail today with LHE Duo, and we had decided to start at "Rail Trail - Steelie" which unfortunately was a DNF, and from here we headed south from here. We continued on and found some 20 of the caches along this trail finishing with "Rail Trail-You can bank on it."

Mr LHE Duo helped by moving the car to the end, while myself and Mrs LHE Duo walked the trail. The walk totalled around 7km, and was fairly pleasant, with the exception of the flies that were in abundance.

An apology for the copy and paste log, it is not meant to take anything from the enjoyment I had doing this trail, or the beautiful part of the world.

TFTC

The last stop on the Rail Trail today and it was a very enjoyable journey. Hope to visit the trail again sometime soon.

Good Find TFTC

My muggle friend had it in his hand and he didn't even realise!

#829 - My forth and final day down the coast today and I had decided last night that I would just do a few easy caches on my way back up North. As I drove past Kilcunda though, I ended up surprising myself and parking…

I still had half a rail trail to complete and a bike in the back! Even though I was extremely tired and sore from the last three days of intense caching, my mind was made up and well.. Once a Mountain Goat’s mind is made up, good luck changing it!

So off I rode, completing the second half of the rail trail. Even though the sun was out in full force today, there was no muggles to be seen! This was a huge bonus and sped up my ride considerably as I did need to be getting home!

By the time I hit the end of the rail trail, I had been able to put 45 smileys on caches and only had 7 DNF’s which was a good figure considering the rush I was in. Once again the high standard and variety of caches that awaited me blew me away. Such a well put together series that keeps you interested and always guessing!

Thank you again Gonefishin07 for the time and effort you have put into this series.

Found. Thanks

AWESOME hide thanks

Cutest hides - tflc

Geo friend came for a visit and we went hunting. TFTC GF07

Nice easy cache. Quite creative cache container! TFTC

Took a bit of searching and then something looked out of place. Cache logged and replaced.
TFTC.

First on the new log

Found With Eddy28

Replaced log

Some one has just Cramed this is its container is pretty destroyed will need replacing

Found it after realising it was not actually on the bank.. But the log was difficult to extract so did not sign it. TFTC!

We were staying in Korumburra for a couple of days with The Drovers with the main gaol of completing this rail trail and also hopefully picking up a few challenge caches.
Today started off windy and rainy but at least the rain held off long enough for us to do the first leg. On the plus side there were no muggles to worry about as we only passed one other person on the entire track.
We had a fantastic time finding some unusual containers and with only one DNF we can say what a ball we had today.
Many thanks Gonefishen07 for not only the trail but for all the work and effort that you have put into the hides.
We apologise for the generic log but are leaving a favourite point on each one to show our appreciation.

Met up with Team Crackers for 2 days, to tackle the Rail Trail and a few local caches.
With the threat of rain, we headed out on the bikes.
We found a good variety of hides, with the odd one being a little tricky.
This is a fantastic trail, and we award each one a favourite point.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Gonefishen07, for us and others to find.

Quick find, stuck out like a sore thumb but nice container nonetheless. Tftc

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat, today Mr Felix headed out on the GeoBike to tackle some more of the rail trail.

Knowing that some of these micro's were to be evil not a lot of hope was held for a numbers run today.

Happy New Year! Well seems every muggle from here to Melbourne was out walking or riding the rail trail today. . It was a struggle but somebody had to do it. .

Beautiful day and the rain held off. An amazing series you have created here. So much hard work and effort has gone into constructing then of course to maintain too. Great work. Replaced the log here, so should be good for a few more finds.

Cup Day dawned bright and warm with little wind to speak of, so back on to the rail trail for further adventures.....we started from just past Anderson and walked to Kilcunda with the family. Clever hide. TFTC

Only one more before Kilcunda, the end is in sight. TFTC

A morning out caching with mum, dad, grandad and my sister. I spotted this one with my sister. Thanks

Found it too hard to get log out so we didn't sign it

Cycled the rail trail and then on to Cape Paterson, collected some caches randomly along the way. TFTC!

Out on a caching trip from NZ. Rented some bikes from Cowes on the island and decided to have a cycle along the trail. Enjoyed the gentle grade and the different caches. Luckily for us we had no encounters with the wildlife depicted on the trail markers. TFTC

Excuse the mainly generic logging. Down on a mission to ride the Bass Coast Rail Trail over a couple of days. Day 1 meant parking at Anderson's ParknRide but didn't realise that related to another type of ride!

Found! This one was spotted quickly.

The day started for me at 7:25am & I finished at 5:29pm in Wonthaggi. I had the most enjoyable time seeing plenty along the way & enjoyed the variety of cache hides & containers. A brilliant effort and I thank the CO for the most enjoyable day out!

Very clever, great ocean views

Almost at kilcunda ..another one down

Out with Lozgur for a long awaited day to do part of this trail. perfect day with the sun shining and temp stayed low to mid 20s. We really enjoyed this track as it was a nice easy ride on our bikes and the views were fantastic. The ones we did were an easy find and didn't take too much time to find, with the names of the caches as a hint they were very well named. Can't wait to do the rest of them.

We were fortunate today to strike a day that had sunshine and a cooling breeze. We ventured along this well formed track with LazzaL and pet dog Lillie taking in the rural view to the wonderful coastline and making bee-lines for the creative caches. We would read about the next cache on the way and try and guess what item had been used to individualize and create a sense of fun in each hide. We loved it and enjoyed finding this cache. Thanks to Gonefishen07 for the enormous effort that has been put in to enhance of enjoyment of this caching experience.

A big day out on the rail trail today with fellow cachers Liz and Bruce and we managed to find a total of 79 well hidden and thoughtout caches. There was quite a variety of cache containers/hides, often the name of the cache giving a clue as to what to look for. Thanks to Gonefishen07 for hiding this cache.

Melbourne parties Friday noon and returned Tuesday morning in Melbourne. I came here to make different trail of caches in the area. It was intense few days with my bike but very nice! I could find caches with superb camouflage, very good ideas from the cachers. This log will be the same for all caches that I made (sorry) But I want to congratulate in particular:

Nut bear & BorisB & Natasha for "Bay Trail" and "Red Hill Express" (Beautiful cover!)
The Three Amigos Geo for "The Pathway"
Gonefishen07 for the great "Rail Trail"

As well as other geocacher who I discovered several caches during these few days.
Thank you very much

Greetings from France
I will be at Mega event with my friend who just especially France also "Ckronos"

Suscoe's 10th find of 25 for today both here and on the island.
A straight forward find on the way down hill which made for a pleasant ride.
Beaut sunshine and a cool breeze.
Log signed and our the trail again.
Thanks to Gonefishen07 for placing this cache.
Such terrific views on the way made this trip just delightful.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored San Remo and surrounds using geocaching as our guide.

We found a total of 70 caches and this was one of them. Our 46th cache of the day.

As we progressed along the trail we were impressed by the variety of hides and the creative use of containers. Some we found quickly and others needed a little more investigation before they revealed themselves.

Thanks Gonefishen07 for taking the time to place and maintain these caches for our enjoyment. We really appreciate the effort gone into these creative and inventive hides. A great days caching and one we will remember.

Off for a walk after fish n chips at killy. Not too difficult this one, and brilliant views. TFTC

Out for a last minute rush before Christmas, cache grab that is. Found 51 of 52 for the day and had a ball, great hides, reminisced about camping at the Mouth Of The Powlett and on the bluff at Kilcunda as a kid about 45 years ago and got some exercise. Biked a fair bit with some walking and some drive byes mostly driven by flat iPhone batteries needing a charge every now and then.

Spotted quickly but these nasty little containers can be frustrating at times.

Thanks for the cache Gonefishen07
