Hiding place has been distroid.

Wicked

Thanks

Today we traversed around the flat country side following many wetlands, creeks and rivers, wow what a great plase to visit. We found many caches and this was one of them.

Dodging the rain we made our way around the eastern side of the showground trying not to get tooooo wet!. Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Good find

Nice spot beside the river put the line in here

We then made camp at Numurkah beside the creek. A great spot only a couple of caravans here.
Such a peaceful location we decided tostay another day & just cache around the local area.

Glad we found a track that led us straight to the Sunday School area. A tranquil spot with all the seats still here.
FP for location

Thankyou Spy Inc. for placing this cache.

Now this is a very nice and peaceful place. A quick find today. Many thanks for maintaining this cache.

Being a semi local, this place had never come to mind. Once the GPS settle it was easy enough apart from earlier where it wanted me standing in the water TFTC

16:27
Based in Yarrawonga, we set out for a day's caching in delightful spring weather. It turned out to be an "ALDI day --GOOD- DIFFERENT!
A number of finds, quite a few DNF's, Jumpers off to stay cool! Jumpers on to avoid the prickles, a few tracks impassible (for us) - a very interesting day!
Some local critters have had fun with this one - chewing & leaving their scent!

**FEEBBACK TO CO:** Whilst the log is intact, critters have gnawed away at the container and a lot of it is missing.

Thanks Spy Inc. for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Tried to find for a while, with no luck, the gps kept bouncing around but it is a lovely location. Will try again another day.

As a member of TeamOZCAT logged in this cache, I am now logging as an individual predominantly to avoid any mistaken/unnecessary revisitation.
Under groundspeak guidelines, this logging is acceptable as I was indeed at Cache GZ in person in recent times. However, all cache owners have the right to delete logs as they see fit. Usually done to "Armchair loggers" or inappropriate texting.

If any cache Owner/s have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact.

TeamOZCAT logged finds when both Karen and Reg logged as individuals. This logging is exactly the same, only in reverse. Again, groundspeak acceptable.
For an unspecified period of time TeamOZCAT are no longer cache searching but remain active in our cache management and maintenance.

I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Karen

Many cache owners are already aware: As per Groundspeak guidelines, I am claiming find because physically found under TeamOzcat. I undertake this not for disinterested statistical purposes, but because of inability to revisit this cache, and/or because it's so damn confusing when viewing the local district geocache maps. I sincerely thank all CO's for time and effort in placement of their caches. Cheers Reg.

Nifty container. Favourite for ingenuity. Thx Co.

Nice drive on this ️ sunny Sunday. Good to get some mud on the tyres. Good little hide & cache. Peaceful spot to stop for a picnic or to camp (one day..)
TFTC

Excellent, quick first solo find. Signed and replaced as found. Beautiful spot, just a pity the creek is so low atm.

Very nice spot by the creek well hidden.

Found, log now full no room for any more entries will need a new one

Need new log

New log installed, go get it...

Found, log almost full!

Would love to come back and spend more time here thankyou

New container and back in place...

Found on the ground. Container was broken. Have put in a empty ziplock gum packet.

Taking a little time this afternoon to drive a loop out of Shep on the back roads to see a little of the countryside and find a few caches.
It looks to me that a few regulars attend this Sunday school with a couple of seats and a rubbish bag of stubbies, but there was no one about today.
Dipped the tootsie's for a little cooling refreshment..

Took a bit of looking but found signed and replaced

Only my 2nd find for the entire year.
Still....A great one to grab and a fav point for the cache and log which was found, signed and returned high and dry in good condition. [^]

Thanks Spy Inc for the cache and for showing me another ripper little spot which I WILL be returning to with me old mates "Rod" & "Reel".

Happy new year.

Mr and Mrs Moneydork, or Moneydork and Tounga, came to visit me over their long weekend and it was so cool to see some SA faces that i've missed [:X]
Tonight Moneydork and I headed out to snaffle a couple of caches [^], despite his having had a huge driving day today [|)]
So the two closest caches to Shepp that I had not found are now found and they were both great spots to visit on a night caching run [^]
So 2 cache finds for me and then home to bed before a day out tomorrow with both of the lovely visitors [^]

As I have been 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

A lovely spot visited at night

4th/8/18 Found it

Nice

Awesome first one I found

Beautiful area

After a peaceful night at the nearby towne with a funny name,
I followed the roads to Johnson's Sunday Skool,
on a Sunday of course

Now who hasn't been broke'n' boozee at some stage ?? [:o)]
well if not then this place will make sure you have been
A delightful spot that no doubt would be good for a bit of yabbying

The house next door is up for sale too
Be a great spot to live.
Though I wonder how many mozzies there might be around here in summer ??

TFTC and detour.

Well, stupid me. I didn't read ahead properly, so subjected myself to a dim light bush bash. I parked only 50m from the drive in. Nonetheless, a very photogenic cache. Thanks heaps, Spy Inc!

Great little spot. I was here on a Sunday but 5 hours late for church. Great cache. TFTC.

Visiting the family in Shepparton and they had a tradie coming. Now this type of muggle is our 2yr old grandson's favourite person. Not so sure the feelings would have been mutual, so we loaded him up and went to grab a couple of caches. This was the first.
We also thought the house and area was lovely. Plenty of water around which concerned me as geograndie loves swimming but surprisingly he insisted on going into the dry bush to help search.
The guys came up with the goods although it was just sitting on the ground just below an obvious hide. Signed and replaced directly above where it was found. Thanks for the cache and bringing us to this lovely location.

Nice spot

ty ty

Beautiful spot, our first one!!!

Missed the track on the first attempt and was forced to rethink when confronted by very thick vegetation. Found the track, found the Sunday School picnic site (very interesting site), followed the iPhone compass only to find more thick vegetation close to GZ. Retreated with a sad face... Thanks for bringing us here. Will try again.

Found this some time ago and have neglected to log it. Lovely quiet spot. Tftc

Gorgeous spot

Caching with Flaggy's and DreamyDragon. We had to have a few goes getting to gz, including an 800m walk which put us on the wrong side of the river. Eventually we found the cache, using the directions listed in Flaggy's log. We saw some photographing bird watchers on the way. Just after finding the cache, Flaggy's says quick, put the cache away, they're coming up the road!! I'm madly rolling up the cache, when they call out "Don't worry, it's our cache!!!" So nice to meet Spy Inc and have a chat about the local caches. A really lovely picnic spot. By the way, this is our 600th cache find!!! Woohoo!! Tftc.

Kelly's rd and Watters rd, was a better direction then the gps. Lovely meeting the CO's at GZ. See you next time we're in the area!

Pretty quick find with Prin666cess, such a beautiful place TFTC

On arrival I was a little concerned about wriggly sticks because it is quite a hot day. Fortunately Sab soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Tricky. Have searched before and ended by just enjoying the location. A nice place to bring a picnic. At last I found without too much searching this time GPS spot on today too. Schools out and peaceful here today. Tftc

We have noticed Spy Inc. over our way finding caches and decided we would attempt to find a couple of theirs on this sunny spring day. We had found our way to this one about 12 months ago, but were muggled out by some old Sunday School boys! Today all the seats were empty, but there was plenty of water in the creek and the frogs were in full song. SL at 1.18pm and took a photo of a GC travelling with us. Loved the cache container and log sheet. #3046 TFTC Spy Inc - we see the weatherboard property is for sale!

A quick find in this random spot. Thanks for bringing us here, we would never have found it without caching.

Fantastic spot to stop for a picnic lunch and let the kids find the cache. Love the log first one we've seen like this

I was a little dubious as I drove in here with Wozzle68 that it was hardly the place I would bring my kids to for a Sunday School Picnic, but when we arrived at the setting I could see the attributes and loved the typical Aussie humour here.
But you certainly get a favourite point from me for the cache container and log. I love your sense of humour too Spy Inc! Having said that though I wonder how long it will be before termites wreck your hiding place, they seem to be doing a rapid job of just that.

A great area this as mentioned in the cache description, if I had some more time on my hands it would be a great spot for fishing. took a couple of looks in the same spot but eventually tracked it down This one deserves a favorite point for cache construction, good job Spy Inc!!

#6258 After escaping from the in-laws place the NSW Labour Day Weekend, SkullDad was intent on making the most of the great weather and the fact that we seldom have the opportunity to head out this way. Fortunately, unlike the Harrowangs who were just in front of him, by the time Dad arrived the Sunday School Service was finished meaning that he had the whole place to himself.....with an abundance of wildlife. What a beaut spot to sit next to the creek! Was a bit wary of the long grass but there were no close encounters of the reptilian kind . Our thanks to Spy Inc. for highlighting this magnificent spot with a cache (a ripper for your first hide) - definitely a favourite from us for the location. Cheers [^]

Our apologies for the late log

Got to GZ and the regular attendees of the Johnson's Sunday School were in attendance - or maybe they were elderly students enjoying a reunion complete with lubricating liquids! Whatever, they were very protective of their 'building'. So the cache went unfound. We did take photos to prove that we had been there and they condescended to chat to us for a short while. We now know why the cache is so named, so guess we will have to revisit on another day of the week. Thanks for alerting us to this peaceful setting which apparently was completely destroyed by a Bushfire in the summer of 2014 - good to see the area regenerating again.

#1003 We drove the back roads from the previous cache (thankfully it is dry today) to make our way to this one. We walked the final 200ish metres to gz and found the cache. Appropriately we attended Sunday School on a Sunday. We imagine classes would be cancelled on rainy days? TFTC

A very tricky hiding place! Had to to a creek crossing and the realised lost my pen and the way here. We wrote our names in charcoal!!!

How lucky this beautiful homestead was not burnt in the brushfire summer 2014 must have been so frightening for all concerned thank you for the Cache and the green grass now growing.

The original plan was to spend the day caching around Shepp. The plan changed before we got to town and we headed north by east then west toward home.

Don't trust a GPS to get you there. 3km the wrong way and a creek to swim across. I tried to throw the Wench across but she kept thumping me so we had to drive around. A small group were fishing near GZ but they lost interest in us fairly quickly.

Good job of the cache log, too. Very appropriate, considering the cache container.

Thank you for the cache Spy Inc..
#2973rd @ 1442hrs.

Out for a quick explore after work and didn't realise the roads from the west were meant to be blocked. I came in from here and made it to the cache, has someone forgotten to collect them?

This spot was pretty interesting and I liked the cool log book.

Cheers,

R - B

Easy find, but may be hard to see & reach for a shortie!

A great start to a day of geocaching with geograndparents. After a few GPS false start, found by geo chook

What great place to hide a cache TFTC

The cache at Johnson's Sunday School is still in place and was not effected by the fires that went through the area.
I am enabling it, but at the moment you can only enter it from the South East Road as the Council have a sign up only allowing LOCAL traffic from the West. Please obey the signs and hopefully they will be removed in the near future.

Spy Inc.

This cache is in the burned area of the Wunghnu Complex fire and should temporarily disabled until it can be checked that it still exists when the fire danger is over and access to the area re-established

I am disabling the cache until it is safe to enter the reserve due to bush fires. I have checked the cache but we saw several falling trees and large branches when we visited it.

A very tranquil spot. Very welcoming for those coming on Sunday. TFTC

Anyone for a cuppa? Peterjanet2001

Unfortunately for me there was a small band of men fishing so it will have to be found on another day.

Found with geopartner in a cool little area

Tftc found with geopartner

Took 2 goes and 4 people but we got, helps to have a bit of height about you, my 5ft 6" was a bit of a hindrance

Thanks for checking for us. Same three returned but luckily had a tall muggle in tow. Angus88.

Angus the great GeoWestie here. This one should, by all accounts have been very easy for me but some-one must have interfered with the scent because I could not sniff it out and my three human helpers were hopeless and couldn't find it either. It would be great to find out whether or not this cache is in place because they all felt pretty silly being unsuccessful. What a great spot though. We finished up on the wrong side of the creek at first but had a great walk there before coming around to the correct side and driving up close to GZ. Got some great photos in the area of the homestead. Thank you Spy Inc for bringing us to this area.

I have just been out and checked the cache and it is still in place...

Looked high and low with no success

A pleasant drive and an easy find. Well thought out and nicely hidden. TFTC

# 3165. Robmc and I are spending a few days at Moama in the lead-up to the Anzac Day event on Thursday. Today we are heading eastwards and elsewhere to get some out of the way caches.

This one had an extra challenge as the direct road in was closed due to roadworks. Some inventive GPs reading by Rob soon had us arriving at GZ. Loved the historic property nearby with the wonderful weatherboard house and lush gardens. Loved the Sunday School too - what a wonderfully peaceful place to gather around the campfire. Tried to take some photos but never seem to do the landscape justice. A favourite point from me. Happened to find the cache quite quickly to my surprise. TFTC

A lazy afternoon spent east of Echuca with Bettyboo3747.
So how much alcohol are you expected to bring on a Sunday?
A really nice spot by the creek for lounging around.
Thanks, Robmc.

Our first micro find!

visited TB's

It's obvious this is a special place for someone
no muggles today as it was Saturday, though I wouldn't be surprised to find "Sunday School" also happened on any day of the week!!
thank you Spy Inc for the cache.
sl

Admired the old Brookfield Homestead as we drove past to the sunday school which looks much more fun than the one I attended as a child. TFTC Spy Inc

Lovely spot thanks Rich

Thanks Rich and Cat, lovely spot well worth a picnic and coffee... found with Joybell and Phill on this lovely summers day.

Took a very long trip around thanks to a certain companies very unreliable mapping system! Found this interested spot eventually and signed the log! TFTC!!

Found with Tamzy after taking the very long way around lol coming back for a spot of fishing TFTC

Out with the grandchildren today,thanks Richard & Cat for binging us to this great spot.We saw a goanna on the way in, a great thing for our city grandchildren to witness tftc

micheena - Picked this one up after enjoying lunch at Seymour. Wasn't sure we were in the right place, as GPS had cache on the other side, and Iphone where we were. Then we spotted why the cache is name so.. and soon had it in hand. (by the way Richard, we weren't to short). Awesome place for your first hide, and an unique cache. Should thank Cat, as I'm sure she had something to do with it. If this is a taste of what's to come, bring on more lovely hides like this one.

What a geat little spot this is and a great little cache. I really liked the idea.
If anyone finds the cache on Sunday at 10am they'll be doing well.

Thanks Spy

*FTF* Congrats on your first cache hide Spy Inc, and what a fantastic spot you chose for it as well. I saw it come up the night before getting to the cache, and was hoping that it was still available as a first to find, as i was heading past on my weekly Melbourne trip. After finding the correct way to the cache, and driving to within about 10m of GZ, it then took about 15mins to locate the well hidden and well constructed hide.

What a fantastic and intriguing spot here, very nice for a cache, and I'm glad to have been able to do it. TFTC, can't wait for some more hides from you. These are the fantastic spots that caching takes you to. Fav point given.
