Tourists come and go Lockwood South, Victoria, Australia
By Bloody Tourists on 14-Dec-12. Waypoint GC42VQJ

Actioned as per requests from other geocachers.
Thanks

Need to disable this hide until we get a chance to drive up that way to check things out.
Thanks

Apparently, cache has been moved and co-ordinates need to be updated.

Looked high and low, used old co-ords and new. still couldn't find it!

As previous member said details need to be updates

14:02
On our way to visit friends who live locally while heading back south. Had visited this reserve previously on a cold frosty morning. This time it was damp and cold! Either way it is an attractive location - roadside stop.

FEEDBACK TO CO: Cache has been moved to new location by land managers and co-ords need to be adjusted please.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt Bloody Tourists.

Great little area.

As ian-and-penny said, a park ranger left a note on the back of a contact card. It's likely the cache has been moved from its original location, but it still presents a fun hunt.

TNLN.

6yr old geoson scored this one. nice spot to stretch the legs. sl tftc

We found this one a while ago and forgot to log it (apologies)! A lovely little area, where there were a couple camping. TFTC Bloody Tourists

The funters first find

Have missed logging many caches, time to catch up.

On our way to Daylesford area to visit a friend. TFTC SL

First find of the day along with bogonghazy enroute to the Events at Wedderburn. Cache was in hand after a brief search. This was our first stop of the day on the way up, so it was a welcome relief to get out of the geomobile and stretch the legs. Thanks to bloody tourists.

First of the day for SUlly1 and I on our way to the Wedderburn event.
Our focus was on the tree which delayed the find before Sully expanded the search and bingo.
Thanks Bloody Tourists

Heading up to Wedderburn for the event and this is one of the few unfound ones for me on the way, so dropped in for the hunt. Drove around the large expanse until fairly close then walked the last little bit for the quick find. This is certainly a magnificent tree here! Thanks to Bloody Tourists for putting this one here

Good little hide.

What a fantastic tree.

Particularly keen on this hide. A very old tree that would have been a big tree when my ancestors settled in Lockwood in 1832 was rather poignant to think that I can look at things they saw so long ago. My dad and grandparents etc used to attend Sunday School picnics at this spot.

Good hiding spot

This was our 2nd cache find in the caching run & we found it at 14:29
So this now makes our total find count 6274.

Having just arrived in Bendigo, and settled in to our camp site - we decided to spend the afternoon on the SBWT series, but as this one was nearby we just couldn't resist.

We found a business card from a local ranger in the cache, he has most likely moved it from the original spot. (Pictures of the card are attached.) We wonder if he is expressing a personal opinion or if it is documented somewhere.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Carabiner
Thanks Bloody Tourists for the hunt today.

This was find 11 of 11 for this mornings caching effort. I was making my way up to the CVGT VI event in Echuca and was keen to make the most of some dedicated caching time. The weather was perfect and I wasn't troubled by muggles at any of the locations.

There were some people camping down by the creek, but I'm sure they didn't notice me in my search. Cache was soon spotted and I was off again.

Thanks Bloody Tourists for placing this cache and bringing me here.

Another great day caching in Bendigo.
We found a large variety of containers and well hidden caches,
this being one of them.
TFTC, Bloody Tourists.

Jack was Happy to see us.

Quick find in a great location - love the big tree!

Not the first we have found at this location. A few overnighters in the area but none in the way of our searching. TFTC

Easy find TFTC

First find of the year. Great place to bring the dogs.

No tourists here and the residents did not seem unduly bothered by us. Speculated on the bushrangers that this awesome tree might have sheltered in its many years. Cache found by the et al while i was photographing the tree. TFTC

There was a few people around on this busy weekend but luckly for us they all moved out at the same moment

Found with S 4 Sammy on the the way to Bendigo for a day of geocaching and waymarking, this one was a nice quick find

Found with Misschief18 and TilleyTB on the way to Cohuna Matata. TFTC

Found this on our way to Cohuna. A lovely spot to stop. Had muggles drive up when we were about to replace cache but they drove away-maybe to return after we had gone? Left the $50 for others to find. TFTC

TFTC only wanted the $50 note but left it.

Out looking at a few garage sales before it gets too hot. Found this cache easily in a lovely shady area. Took nothing, left $50

Found by Mary & David at 1205. We came past here yesterday morning, but the tourists who had stayed overnight hadn't left, and had a clear view of GZ. Today, at a later time, we had the place to ourselves and could enjoy the area while we had lunch. Beautiful trees with bark that resembled the coat of a striped animal. A quick find, and we dropped off "petra-gabriel01" geocoin. Our thanks to Bloody Tourists.

grabbed geocoin and will be moving it on asap

Found it.... Oh almost stood on a rabbit.

Found on my way back to Bendigo from Maryborough. An easy and quick find in an area that is obviously well used by tourists. Many thanks for placing this cache.

There were no tourists around today
That made for a very peaceful stroll across the grasslands to find the cache at the foot of the BIG B#@@DY TREE

Found on our caravanning and caching tour of the area.

Stopped here for morning tea a great area for tourists TFTC

Wow, what a massive tree. Heading home after an over it visit to friends in Bendigo. A nice quick drive up. GZ spot on. Thanks for the hide. Happy Australia Day.

Had driven past this park many times but never stopped, always wondered what it was like up close. Only one tourist with caravan parked here today. Sneaky hide. TFTC

Thats a seriously deep hole under that tree!!! Quick find!!

Good Cache

As I pulled into park I glanced at my GPS "4metres" Woohoo, nice and close! but then I realised I was looking at the 'Current accuracy' hahaha and I had 100m to walk. Oh well, good day for a walk.

Travelling from Melbourne to Robinvale for work this coming week and cathering some caches along the way.
Quick drive by.

Found 10:30, after a brief search. That is one big tree

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Bloody Tourists.

En route MLB to Bendigo. This a straightforward find. Signed log, cache safely rehidden as found.
TNLN, TFTC
Found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Found at 2.40pm. Accidently damaged the hiding spot. I'm so sorry, the cache is now hidden at the same co-ordinates, but not in the same manner. Amazing tree, I wonder how old it is. I did no swaps, and thanks for the cache.

Found it... just. Almost gave up but spotted it at the last second. Nice work

Found by Roma and Max
This certainly is a popular place frequented by tourists and only recently by some from our most southern state who also left a cache of another flavour!
Thank you Bloody Tourists and cheers,
from Romax.
