This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache. The log book is missing and needs replacing and the container is rusted and water can get in so new logbook needs to be waterproofed.

Found it on our second trip through the Rail Trail!
TFTC

On a road trip to Phillip Island for a couple of weeks, picking up random caches as we travel around seeing the sites. After watching the feeding of the Pelicans at San Remo, and our picnic lunch in the little town of Bass we parked in Woolamai Road and walked the Rail Trail directly to "Rail Trail - What's Cooking" where we dropped off a TB, then we headed back looking for the caches as we walked. It was Mr Pooky who ventured off the track and made the find, however the log book is missing and needs replacing and the container is rusted and water can get in so logbook needs to be waterproofed. TFTC and bringing us to this walking track. TNLN.

Found it!! Calm day and GPS at first took me in the wrong direction.. found it in the end! Tftc

Had a long look but couldn’t Find.
The area is soaked also.

Found it. Ripped my jacket.

It seems safe enough to re enable now.

Disabling till life gets back to normal. Who knows when that is going to be

Log a bit wet and might need some attention??
Another great rail trail cache
TFTC

whatch out for spiders!!!! Great Hide

Great hide found it deep in the bush. Careful when opening as there r spiders inside. TFTC

Another day off and perfect weather so bribbed the teens to head out with the pooch and enjoy this weather, a few grumblings that its hot, how much longer... teens...

Parked car at Anderson and walked the trail... Saw a horse (on the trail), a snake, loads of birds, some dragonflies, cows (they weren't very good at playing "Hey Cow"... had the trail to ourselves pretty much of the way but saw a few bike riders when we headed back.

Using a new Ebike along the trail finding some good caches today found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC

A nice big one! Cache inside is wet and it's not possible to sign mush. Took photos, instead of scrawling name.

Large cache. Easy to find but not so easy to get to. Cache was full of water. I emptied it out.

Put a small bit of paper in this one

After doing some caches last night I had a rare day off and had a bike and a geodog willing to come along this part of the Bass Coast Rail track. With plenty of caches on offer to add points to the Planets challenge, we set off from Anderson. Thanks Gonefishen07 for you work which I admire. Nice hide. Log drenched beyond retrieval- so replaced and new plastic bag - signed on my new log paper. Hope this helps. Great size. Enjoying the afternoon. Geodog enjoying the stop and start bike ride.

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. Great to see a large cache out here. We did wonder if you needed the tractor to get some of these containers along the trail! My 10th of 49 finds for the day. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and the series Gonefishen07.

It was great to see all of the unique designs and the start of a couple of large caches. Clearly a lot of time was put into this series.

This series was part of my biggest caching day so far! #10 out of #51! 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.

Continuing on our adventure after attending the Alexandra Mega Event, we found ourselves spending a few days on Phillip Island. While we tried to take advantage of the many great places to see on the island, we were pre-occupied with trying to complete the qualifying requirements for a particular challenge cache we had signed in Ballarat prior to the Surf Coast Mega Event last year. It really does pay to check the finer details of a challenge cache before you decide to look for it We had thought you needed to have found 100 caches in Victoria, but it was only when we came to log it that we realised the 100 caches in Victoria had to have been placed by the same cache owner

Anyway, initially we thought we would complete the challenge by doing the Mt Disappointment caches, but then friends who knew we were heading to Phillip Island told us we would easily qualify for the challenge there, and they would be much more interesting caches Well they were quite interesting, and some of them were downright sneaky

In the end, we had an enjoyable couple of days exploring Phillip Island and finding a variety of cache hides, with some great walks along some of the beaches and other places

Thank you Gonefishen07 for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Love a good sized cache!
However, this one was a bit weird. The inside of the outer container was bone dry
The inner container was soaking. Not so bad that I couldn't sign the log, but still very wet.
TFTC!

I offered up my Uncle duties to the three kids for the day but they had plans so I threw the bike in the car to head down to the rail trail series again. I didn't see many people on the trail today but even better was the lack of flies. They really got to me last time I came here.

27 cache finds and 3 dnf's.
Not bad all in all. The weather was great and the exercise was much needed.

Time to finish off this section of the rail trail. Another Large, this is awesome. A quick scramble through the brush and the logbook was being signed.


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. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
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.

I tackled the last part of the Bass Rail Trail starting and finishing at Mc Garth Road. Another good cycling experience with plenty of caches to keep me amused the along the way. The ride back to the car was a nice downhill run. Cheers and TFTC

I am heading NE along the rail-trail. Thank you so much for this string of caches. I couldn't find some which I will aim to report on. It is a poor morning for caching with constant light rain - unpleasant for caching.

Big one

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 one!! Found quite quickly today.

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.

Steve and Erin out and about on our adventure day, decided to come back to Kilkunda and have a meander down the historic Bass coast rail trail and grab some caches while we are at it. TFTF )

This cache took me a little longer to find than it should have. I'm going to put it down to a wandering GPS, a reasonably long day and more walking from the last large I had found on the trail.

No matter, the find was made and I was a happy camper. Now back to the car and off to the next large cache.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH GoneFishen07 [^]

Thanks

another interesting cache

This one was the last one for the night.. We thought the phone battery wouldn't last this long, but it lasted long enough to make the find, but not the log! TFTC

Cheers TFTC

Found on a beautiful Sunday morning. Thanks.

Another good cache along the rail trail by gonefishen07. 6th find for the day. Great to collect some large cache as there are not many around. TFTC

It certainly was not a micro.
Thanks Gonefishen07.
Chiefton!!!

Daffodils are out in bloom today

Find #807

All about the numbers today in the rain today, it was cold and wet but meant the track was nice and empty! This was 16 of 32 of the series signed off today. Tfts

Geokids left a handful of trades for future cachers!

Thanks for another good effort for the hide.

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

Nice find while riding this trail with Mark9375 and Geojill-11 TFTC

Found @ 10:47 am on the 23 April 2016 thanks for this cache Gonefishen07
Cool cache really liked the container tftc

Lol. Tftc

Nice cache. Log signed and in good order. All back safe again.

QF we nearly thought twice due to some lovely spiders but we couldn't bear the thought of not signing this one tftc with geodude#74

Nice quick find with Lilmissgeo. Can't miss it! Haha. TFTC!

I am getting close to finishing the trail - its been great - tflc

Yayy thats a cache and a half.tnfc

We did a huge chunk of the rail today, so much work has gone into this, the variety of hides and types of containers. The weather was good to us, alothou very windy at times trying to blow us of our bikes. We enjoyed the ride and will continue to do some more tomorrow, Thanks for the hides.

Back today to complete this trail, in the comnpany of quiet1_au and GJMMelb. This time we had brought our bikes. Quick find by G. TFTC

Found with Lochb and quiet1_au. I picked the right spot here and had no problem locating the 'large' container. Thanks Gonefishen07
GJMMelb

After just 2 hours sleep, JSando and I got up super early, with bikes and esky loaded and headed to Wonthaggi for the annual New Years event, with a plan to knock over at least a small piece of the rail trail around here. This was our twentieth find for the day. Surprisingly. we've not seen many people on the trail today. Many TFTC

Another G of GJMMelb find for the team (G, lochb and I) as we rode from Anderson to Woolamai and back. As the cache page said, this cache posed no trouble locating it. TFTC

Found with carkisser ....
5FTC ....

Found this cache while riding the rail trail from Kilcunda to Woolamai. Sure wasn't a nano or micro!! TFTC

A magic day for a nice ride along this rail trail which we wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for this series. It was so nice that the I expected to see a snake or two lounging in the sun but we didn't see any all day.
The title of this one was spot on, it was the largest container we've come across in our short time of GC'ing. In good condition. TFTC.

No it's not a nano! The cows came to see what I was doing. Do they count as Muggles?

After the Mega OrionJ and ourselves, LHE Duo decided to head back to Phillip Island for another night. On the way we decided to add some more of the Rail Trail caches to our finds. OrionJ decided this one, Keego and Chil #6 was a good starting point. We went as far as Rail Trail Jim Beam before the heat and time caught up with us. We enjoyed this part ofnthe trail as much as the ones a few days earlier.

This was definitely an easy find. TFTC

On the way back to Phillip Island for the night with LHE Duo to see the Little Penguins and we decided to take a little look and find a few caches along the Rail Trail on the way.

We started out at the Northern end at "Rail Trail - Keego_and_Chil #6" and followed the trail through to "Rail Trail-Who's for a Jim Beam?". This was not a logical stopping point however the heat of the day was getting to us and also time was pushing on with a few other specific caches we wanted to do, that had something of a time limit on them.

Along the way we only encountered one problem at "Rail Trail-Haveanez's Biggest Phobia!!!!" which we did not find, and I wonder maybe Haveanez biggest phobia may be a DNF.

Otherwise it was a really nice day out collecting 23 along the trail today. Apologies for the copy and paste logs.

TFTC

Definitely not a micro or nano, that's for sure. This one gets a favourite point from us in recognition of the time and effort the co has expended in creating all these caches. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

#857 - 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.

Now that is a nice big cache!

Not happy - another one i didnt find - i am blaming geo dog

In Wonthaggi this weekend for a whole heap of geocaching! Hopefully going to hit 900 finds by Sunday evening.

Friday afternoon, wanted to get the rail trail from Anderson to Woolamai completed, and I did just that. About 35 finds (I think) in about 3 hours, so safe to say i'm pretty happy, a good start to the weekend!

Your not wrong!!

TFTC!!

It's certainly not! Although you go from one extreme to the other. TFTC gf07

Spotted a group on Kangaroos on approach, they basically lead us right to GZ.

Our last one for the day on this trail. Thanks for the journey, it's beautiful country side. Will need to return to finish the other caches in this set another day.

A sunday morning ride to put some numbers up and explore the trail.
The cache name tells the story. Quick find thanks.
TFTC.

Certainly not a nano!

What a great day to be meandering around our lovely country side with Sixy2Sue. Thanks for the extra excuse to get out and about.

An afternoon visit to Wonthaggi for a funeral saw us call in here from the highway, with specific plans to find the first 10 caches along this section of the Rail Trail, from Woolamai Road end. Our goal was achieved quite easily and we left with 10 completed caches - all found.

Well, it's not a nano or a micro and if you can't see this at GZ, you're gunna be out of luck here.

TFTC

Yep its definitely not a micro or a nano! I don't think there was any chance I could confuse this cache for either of those however believing the name to be deceiving I spent the start of my search looking for something hanging when suddenly something was spotted pas what I was looking at. How did you bring some of this stuff here? 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.

Found by Mary & David at 1435. Found this one easily, and it takes over as the largest container today. In fact, the contents were dwarfed by it. Our thanks to Gonefishen07.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat, today was moving day.

We were moving closer to attend the Wonthaggi New Years Event. After setting up camp it was nearly 3pm but Mr Felix was keen to make a few finds. Mrs Felix dropped him at the end of the rail trail. By 5.45pm it was time to return to cook dinner so the Anchors were thrown and a pick up was set.

TFTC Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

An awesome numbers run today with a plan to pass 4000 finds by the end of the year. Managed to find 32 all up which had left me with only 13 to go before the milestone cache.

This was one of many caches found today. Some impressive hides seen and this northern section of the bass rail trail now complete. Apologies for the generic logs

Now that's a large one. Nice!!

TFTC Gonefishen07

We found this cache today at 3:50pm as number 30 of 60 on our Head for the Rails Southern Tour. I liked this one. I liked it very much. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A.

Out for a day of caching and bike riding with cjfinda, robber44 and rest of the geo family. It was not the greatest day for caching but it was better than yesterday so we chanced our arm (and our bikes). No, it's not a micro or a nano.....I can't begin to imagine how you dragged all this stuff along the trail to set these caches! Thanks for another great hide.

Second biggest cache I have ever seen. Loving the variety of containers along the ride. TFTC

Out for a day of caching along the rail trail on our bikes with dad, grandad, mum and sister. Wild winds, rain showers and a soggy trail made it hard going at times but the great caches and thought that Gonefishen07 has put into this series made all the effort worthwhile.
A quick find and a giggle at the name - definitely not a micro or a nano. Much appreciated at this point of the ride.
TFTC

Out for a Sunday caching run with the geo toddlers and thought we'd check out this trail... Its PERFECT! Toddlers were happy to run ahead on a well maintained trail all within sight! Fantastic way to tire them out :)

The cache is fantastic, although now we have done a few up the trail, hubby and I wondered what the locals though as you were hauling the caches up the trail...

Well done GoneFishen we cant wait to do some more on this trail :)

Out on a hike today doing the bike trail with dog. Thank you for the day out on the effort with all the caches. Tftc

Well I have to admit that sometimes (?) I have brain fade and this was one occasion. Whilst Alansee was shouting out, if it's not a Micro or a Nano it's a ##### he stumbled over the cache and found it. Me, well best not go there.
TFTC Gonefishen07

Found with The Swaggies on a lovely day for a ride. I have done more Large caches this last month than I have ever done in a short space of time, and this trip added to the list.

Nice size cache. But not as big as mine. I had the day off and Trent from KTCvic also had the day off as he is now unemployed ( only for 3 days ) so we decided to go caching somewhere for the day. As these new caches came up over night we decided to come here and then on to The Rail trail from Anderson down to Woolamai, we had a great day chatting and wondering up in the bush here and down on to the rail trail. A big thank you to Leesa for picking us up at the end of the rail trail as we had to get back to Trent's son and pick him up from school, after picking him up we decided to go to the Cranbourne Botanic gardens and grab some caches there as well. Thanks Trent and Campbell for the company and thanks Gonefishen07
