North to Pearse No.1 Warragul, Victoria, Australia
By kmps & TheGGGs adopted by De ja vu on 17-Jan-13. Waypoint GC44GHQ

We adopted this sneaky cache from kmps & TheGGGs three years ago. Since it was first placed in 2013 the tree growth has changed the hide a bit and it has become more and more difficult to find. At the time of archiving it today it had a healthy favourite score of 25.

Looked for ages and had no luck. We could have used a hint. One day we will return and emerge triumphant!!!

Did some caching with the kids at night and got stomped on this hard one flash lights not cutting it. Will have to come back in the daytime and have a decent look

In Warragul for work and knocked off a bit early so decided to stop for a quick cache.
Strolled to GZ and started looking but nothing was obvious here hmmmmm

Read some previous logs and made a quick find to some revealing info.

Thanks for the clever cache here. Gets a fave.

After a week of heavy rainfall (90ml!) we were all itching to get out on this long weekend. We had recently created a list with the ‘most favourited’ caches in our region and noticed there was a glut of these in nearby Warragul. We had a lovely, chilly day finding 13 geocaches with the geokids and dog.

We found this pretty quickly with generous hints from previous logs. I don’t think the camo vessel is in situ anymore, but we propped it in a logical spot. TFTC

Found it with margaretforr1987

In Warragul shopping and ticking off a few geocache, this one had us a bit stumped for a while but after reading through some previous logs I had a better idea of what I needed to look for. Can confirm that this cache is still here it just might need some maintenance as the host camouflage has fallen down. Giving this one a favourite point TFTC

DNF.

We will come back to find in the future.

Finished for the day/week and time for a quick cache before heading home.
Like so many before me, I had already looked at that but missed the sneaky hide.
Read a few past logs and homed straight in on GZ.
Methinks perhaps it should be vertical not horizontal so I stood it up with a couple of it's mates.
You may want to pop down and pay a visit guys.
Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year from both Christine and myself.
Thank you for keeping this one on the game board.

This was a clever hide, after going over clues in peoples logs we were able to find it, took a bit of thinking outside the box.
We quite enjoyed this particular cache.

Not knowing what to look for made it a challenge, I love a good challenge.

Good hiding spot.

Was in a very smart place, good job. Took us ages to find and was close to giving up

Very fun trying to find it. Eventually found it after some time.

Found it, but I looked at twice before I did

mate found it in two seconds

Found it ya Flatty
dog, was in the stick thing, clogged with ants though

Super smart !! Wouldn’t of expected it !!

My son found this one before I even got to GZ! I’m glad, I would have taken a long time to find it. Thank you!

Not what we expected. Good hide

This one took quite a bit of searching. We widened our search area and then something caught my eye. Very tricky.
Worthy of a faviourite point from us.

Nope...

That was clever, thats thinking outside
the box. TFTC

Yessss. After so many dnfs today it feels so good to find another at last. Great hide tftc

Found with 2 friends
Tftc

So good! Needed the comments to find it as we’re amateurs.

After a few attempts, this time we found within minutes, thanks

Came back for a third time and finally found it

Really well hidden! And my first find! Thank you

It is still there look closely in man mad wood not natural

Good luck

Lots of commitment with this one but a good spot

Awesome little find.

Couldn’t find, we will be back, hopefully hasn’t been removed from works on old tree

Luckily I have seen a hide like this before, great placement and a quick find with no one out on their morning walks today

TFTC

CJJAHC

Log replaced

A very tricky find. Needed previous clues. Thanks.

Very good spot, an obvious spot would be the dead tree near by but don’t get tricked. Need a new paper I used the last spot.

Ditto Ditto Ditto Now to resume my travels! TFTC

Sneaky hide

Good one

Took a while but thanks for the hints in previous logs!! A lot of thought went into this one.well done

Happy Birthday to me.

My caching day with family from abroad continued with a find here @2:20pm, our 2nd of a hand full found close to where we were staying.
A clever hide found with Pennstar, IceSquad, Cybergran V and another carload of muggles that we love anyway. [^]
Fortunately for us, there is a very similar hide in our home town. [8)]
Thanks for keeping this cache in play de ja vu.
And thanks to my fam' that let me drag them around as we played with satelites.

Thanks!

Three generations out caching today, in lovely weather in Warragul, after a very chilly start.
I was the lucky finder here because it is very similar to one I have in Shepparton, but still a different application.
Thanks for placing it here and giving us the opportunity to show our grandchildren different types of geocaches.

found this with penstar, cybergranv, and dalerious. nice quick park and grab. tftc!

Cache is still in play

North to Pearse No.1 was transferred from kmps to user de ja vu

Not sure if arebeing put back once found??

Took us a bit of searching but we got it

We found it!! It was a sneaky hide! It took a while to find tftc

Don’t give up

I had forgotten about this cache so its time to try again now where could it be argh there you are sneaky hey... TFTC kmps & GGG

so frustrating but will try again on a cooler day.

Nice quick find

WELL...!! 6 years and 3 days ago we were here, and were amongst the first little group to log the dreaded DNF before the FTF was finally nabbed. We did say we wouldn’t be back for a while but didn’t realise it had taken us quite this long! Glad to say we finally turned that frown upside down and found the sneaky little fella that had eluded us all those years ago. SL Thanks for the adventure, both then and now, kmps and TheGGGs

Found it! Very sneaky

Found it with my dad 999Hunter & family while going near the area

After getting sick of waiting at Vic Roads, and being told it would be another 45 minutes, we thought we would go for a stroll and collect the nearest cache

This was the one, so we walked here. From a distance, our daughter said the cache would be the large old tree. I followed the GPS very close to it, but not exactly there. With perfect GPS coordinates, I very quickly saw something that wasn't right, and the rest of the family had a look before we signed and returned the cache.

Thanks for the cache kmps & The GGGs
Hunter

This search reminded me when I was child exploring the streets and alleys of Melbourne. Forty-five years later I am back doing the same thing. I felt the cache before I saw it. Good job. TFTC

Nice and found. Good sneaky hide!! Thanks amps & TheGGGs for placing the cache.

Glad to have a friend who had access to the activity logs, as we both had given up on the hiding place as unlikely. But... we did it! Thanks to everyone who gave hints, and TFTC!

Phew. Almost took the wicket on this one.

Found with elliehodgeee! sneaky find

Very cleverly hidden!

Found with Crank1 after Robot Charli series. TFTC. Very clever hide. A fav from me.

Another sneaky hide up the end of the trail that we managed to find this afternoon while grabbing a few caches before it got too dark. Cool cache yet again kmps & TheGGGs.

Away for the weekend with omegaman and Happy pants grabbing a few caches. We signing the logs under the team name HHO. A clever hide that kept us looking for a bit. Pleased to have been able to find and sign log.
It started out as a drizzling, cool morning but turned into a reasonable day.
Thanks kmps for placing the cache for us to find.

Another well constructed container by this Co.
Cheers for the cache.

Very Hard to find but well hidden would’nt have guessed!

Tricky

Good

We found it! Very tricky. stakes are you will not find it.

We fond it very tricky. You would not of thought it would be where it is. Stake you would not be able to find this.

Found it

Woohoo, second find for us

Came back the next day and found it right off the bat!

Couldn’t find it. I’m still a newbie so that could be part of the problem.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve searched unsuccessfully for this cache, but I thought I had it worked out and really wanted to find it for its value in the Planetary challenge. Remarkably I found the log on the ground before I found the container. The container had a new log in it, so I replaced it with the old log and took the new log around to CO and told him what had gone on. . Thanks for a great hunt!Another favourite point awarded.

A great little out of the way track that you would not normally traverse. The log was missing from the cache, so replaced it with a new one. Excellent hide tftc kmps & ggg's

Thanks bud17 for new log.

This cache helped me grow TFTC

Find number 6369 at 7:55:44 am
Down in this area for the day working and just grabbing a cache before I head to my first meeting.
Nice hide
**Thanks for placing this cache kmps**

Big things that are continuing to happening in Victoria! *Are you joining in the fun?*
[**THE PARKVILLE EVENT 2018**](https://coord.info/GC75D90)
*17th & 18th November 2018 - GC75D90 - Parkville - Melbourne - Victoria*

TFTC

This one was tricky ! Not where I thought you would be able to hide a cache! Very well done. Found with humanmegawatt

2 great caches.
Well done.
Found with Melki93.

On a 6 day tour of Victoria with Barnzy12. Taking the red eye over from Perth we managed to visit some great places. The main reason for the travel was the Mega event in Alexandra and the opportunity to find 12 cache types in a day.

We originally travelled to Phillip bay, then up through the country side to Alexandra. Spent a few nights staying high in the snowfields and then moved over to Mt Disappointment. We then ended up back where we started returning the hire car at the airport to fly home.

Some quality caches were found all over the state, great to get a real range of cache sizes with some very large caches compared to what’s available in WA and the range of D/T options so close to each other was a bonus.

Thanks to all the Cache owners for you placements and creativity put into hiding and have awarded a few fav points based on this or the location it bought us too.

In Melbourne with Cravo10 to attend the Mega in Alexandra.

We took the red eye from Perth, leaving at 1am Thursday morning, and departed Melbourne early Tuesday morning, so it was a short five day trip.

We managed to snag a couple of nice stats for the trip. First mega event, 12 cache types in a day, 10 lab caches, 50th large cache find, and most importantly my 10,000th find at Mount Disappointment.

We spent the first day on a caching run from
Melbourne to Phillip Island where we had booked into the local caravan park for the evening. We cached all day chasing down a number of the whereigo and puzzle caches from the CF series, before ending the day caching the extremities of Phillip Island, where we had both never been, an amazing part of this country.

Next morning we cached our way to Alexandra which was the main reason for our trip to Melbourne as we had both never managed to attend a mega, which were hoping to rectify in WA next year! Attended the pre event and managed to get a couple of group FTFs by torchlight which was a real highlight.

Saturday we cached in and around Alexandra all day, chasing numbers, the highlight of the day would have to be the birdbox hides around Alexandra and the multi in Bonnie Doon from that famous TV show, a real nice touch!

Sunday was an epic caching day, chasing down 12 types in a day, which required a couple of huge drives to claim some of the rarer icons around. A huge caching stat which is a very rare feat in the Southern Hemisphere. We finished the day travelling to Mount disappointment where we found Melbourne's 1st cache and then started making a dent in the powertrail, finishing by torchlight.

Our last full days caching was spent at Mount Disappointment to chase some big numbers and with a few caches around the burbs for good measure.

Special thanks to all the wonderful COs around Melbourne for their brilliant caches, and to the mega committee for organising a ripper event, hope to be back next year!

Omg!!! Soooooo Sooo good! This one took me longer than it should have buy your hides are so damn good and so well hidden, it took me a while. TFTC

Very clever!!!!! Had us looking for ages! X

Tehehehe that was a lot of commitment putting that there, I wonder how you put it there. If you can't find it I suggest reading people's comments

Best hiding place me and my buddy could not find it until we really looked into the comments. Very smart

Tftc.

I did some weeding in the area to hide my activity and because a bit done here now will prevent a bigger problem later. Despite the scrabbling around and inspecting lots of likely and unlikely spots I just couldn't see where the cache was. Back to the drawing board for me.

Looked around for a bit thought it was under that bush with the picket but alas it wasn't (or we didn't check close enough)

Wow. Very crafty cache. Nicely done. TFTC
