Corker of a Cache Dutson, Victoria, Australia
By Brain.teaser on 29-Mar-13. Waypoint GC48V3A

Found it. I had been here before with VK3AWA but decided to come bag and log it myself.
Not much left of the old log (the wooden one) the rot has set in TFTC

Thanks to all those that gave a favourite point, time for this to be put to rest now.

Revisiting this one after a nearby client commented that the mozzies were taking a rest in the area today for whatever reason. Couldn't let this opportunity slide given the huge swarm of mozzies i faced here last time I attempted it. GZ was wet but accessible and after shuffling around a bit the cache unveiled itself although not attached to whatever it probably should have been?? Replaced as found hidden away. TFTC

Thanks. I'm new to Geocaching and have driven past this spot for many years on my way to town.

This one was a tough one. Not finding the cache, but there were millions of Moskitos biting me while searching and logging.

Thanks for this Cache say the Rukos from Germany

Got out all ready for the hunt, walked under the tree, thought 'hmm what a large bunch of tiny bugs I've disrupted'... ... ........ "MOSQUITOES!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Biggest swarm of the damn things I have ever seen in my life and I was the only warm blooded creature for what seemed like miles. RUN AWAY!!! I will be back armed with the biggest load of RID and, possibly a bug zapper!!

First find for the day and what an unusual place to find a cork tree. I never would have noticed it without this cache so thanks for pointing it out! A simple find, a quick sign and back on the way. Thanks for the hide

Never even knew about cork trees. Tftc

out with my husband so i did some caches tftc

Finally found it

Nice cache

Nice tree. Used to be a smelly spot but not anymore. TFTC. Scrappy_1

Heading to Loch Sport for a few summer days of R & R and this cache was too tempting to drive past. The Chief made the find before I had the dog out of the car! Interesting tree with a very protective fence. Lovely old oak next to it. TFTC

Didn't find it think it went missing

Don't get to see many cork trees anywhere pity about the stinky water Tftc

on the way to golden beach for a camping trip with my daughter. police pulled up beside us but didn't ask what we were doing!! too busy chasing cars i guess. tftc

Thanks for this one it's a real corker alright. A fave point from us.

Husband and boys dragging me to the motorbike track so I dragged them caching first

What a great tree. Cache was what we assume to be upside down so we saw it without even trying, so we fixed it up

Lovely little drive to find this cache

Lovely little stop on the way home from a lovely little retreat! Thanks for the cache! Really nice remote one!

Geosenses kicked into find this well constructed cache. Walked through a few yucky cobwebs though which freaked out the geokid. TFTC

A nicely constructed cache. Thanks for showing us a cork tree as we don't think we have seen one before. TFTC

We were in Sale today so decided a quick detour on the way home was in order. Right as we were getting out of the car the police drove past, slowed down and had a bit of a look at us. They kept going though, must mean we look harmless, haha Had a bit of a scout around, found the cleverly hidden cache, then checked out the huge cork tree. Must've been an old house here once, judging by the types of trees and plant remnants..? Don't often see cork trees, so it was cool to be brought here! SL Thanks Brain.Teaser

Glad it was a breezy day, still days are the worst around the channel. Like the hide. Took marble, left card domino set. TFTC

Great hide found at 9.10pm on way home from fishing

So that's what a cork tree looks like and we found the cache. Good job Brain.Teaser TFTC

Great hide

Loved the cork tree and interesting to learn about these unique trees.
But unfortunately did not find the cache. I am sure it was near but we were a bit wary of snakes in the long grass. But thanks for showing us the tree.

Cool as

Out with gwd.aussie enjoying the day off with a bit of caching. gwd.aussie had previously found so it was left to me to find. Great hide.

thanks Brain.Teaser

we recycle our corks!! Good cache! Thanks

Disturbed the cockies for this one. Tftc

Cheers

Awesome hiding spot

Great use of nature. Easier to look with eyes then with app as distance changes easily.

Sons thought this was the best cache of the day, great idea. TFTC

10 year old had a ball searching for this one

Another great hide I phone gps was bouncing like crazy so had to use the hint on this one tftc

There is another cork tree in Elizabeth Farm in Parramatta and I find them fascinating. Took photos of the tree and the perfect spider web nearby. Then hunted for this clever cache. An enjoyable stop despite the pouring rain. I am so wet now I don't care anymore. TFTC

I didn't know what a cork tree looked like until today so I really enjoyed the stop here. The cleverly hidden cache was also fun, so thanks for your placement and effort.

Found on a family caching afternoon enjoying the last of the school holidays and sunny days. This was a corker - loved the container - great job guys. TFTC

Another epic fail.

What a great hide very clever watch the mozzies

Magnificent example of cork trees
Great little cache
Many thanx to Brain.teaser

Great find but bring the mozzie spray

The kids always find it before me! Be quick before the mozzies get you.

Found this cache after logging did not find in2013

Great hide!!

Jujudada and radish 48 found. Lovely cork tree. TFTC

Mosquitoes and spiders all over the place!!! Be sure to wear good shoes

Nice quick find. Vicious mosquitoes!
Clever hide. Tftc

Mosquitoes were vicious. Fun find. Cork tree beautiful specimen. And hey Duston 'stream' no longer stinky

Glad to see no snakes around today. Quickly got in and out of this area tftc

Super clever cache and had no idea about cork treez! tftc. Took bee badge, left slinky

A nice little stream running past the gz area probably not so nice on a hot summers day,don't think I will bother to drop a line in. I could find some cork for a float. Thanks Brain.teaser FTC.

Great idea, lots of thought seems to have been put into this cache!

Nice fine and fun little road trip

A fairly quick find, needed the hint to help out as my annoying iPhone GPS is crappy!! TFTC

I was think of wine corks when i first read the title of the cache.

so a wine cork joke...
that wine cork almost ruined my night, until i found my corkscrew.

A quick find from gwd.aussie
Thanks Brain.treaser

Thanks for the cache. Clever hide

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

Today we made our way to Paradiiise Beach using geocaching as our guide.

We found 11 caches and this was one of them. Have never seen a cork tree before, very interesting. Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Took a minute or two to find this one but that's OK, we don't like them all to be too easy. TFTC

Watch out for snakes and nesting ducks this out me off looking any further

Easy find tftc

First cache of the day. The weather was looking a bit bleak but the rain held off until we'd completed this cache. A quick find by Miss E who commented on a great cache. No swaps, signed log and replaced. TFTH.

Replaced with new cache hide , same coordinates

Checked this one tonight and the original container has been trashed, disabled until it can be replaced.

Good hide

TFTC, great place for a cache

After the Flash Mob Event, we decide to grab a few caches that have appeared while our backs were turned. This was a terrific hide Brain-teaser. We never knew about the cork tree either and would not have recognised it was cork, so learned some more.

Thanks for bringing us here
cheers

TFTC, have driven passed here thousands of times, never knew there is a cork tree here. Thanks

Found while out for a day trip.
Great hide.

Thanks Brain.Teaser

found by geo junior

nice work gone into the hide

tftc

no swaps signed log

Called by to check this cache today and saw it had made an attempt to escape! Teaser looked all around where it should have been. Brain got out to search as well. Then Teaser did a passable impression of the Colonel Light statue. Looking where she was pointing I saw it had managed to get a few metres from where it belonged. We recaptured and returned it to it's rightful place.

TFTC, never seen a cork tree so thank you for the stop.

Great cache TFTC:)

TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Found today on my way home.

Very interesting history lesson on cork trees.

TFTC Brain.teaser

Very interesting find, are now getting used to these

Excellent Hide, well worth the trip. We loved the tree. Have driven past many many times and never noticed.

Thanks for the hunt.

Number 3 for the drive home. Tnln

Second find for the day with Chaplain Mike. This one had us stumped for a little moment but rethinking the clue I so had the cache in hand. We've seen similar to this up near Tocumwal by Black Legend however this was crafted even better. Well done Brain Teaser! Fave point awarded from me. SL TNLN TFTC!

Find 2 for the day with Sappy13 and Smart Sassy Siren. Lucky I had the keen eyes of Smart Sassy Siren with me today as we retraced our steps
TFTC TNLN SL

Found quickly by the kids love the camo found a few like this now and always appreciate the extra effort taken so have awarded a fav point !! Tftc found on our way to golden beach for a flying visit swapped some coins for the flower

Very quick find clever cache sl tnln

Took the long way out to tihs cache via a few tracks on the bike. I have been past here so many times and never realised that one of these impressive trees was a cork tree. Loved it. Great hide too. Well done Brain.teaser on this hide.

What a great first cache!! It took us a while to find this one without the hint, but it's a great little cache. We spent quite a while searching high and low and widening our search, as our GPS took a while to settle. It wasn't until we retraced our steps that we found what we had first overlooked. Well done Brain.Teaser
