Bay Trail - I Ain't Missing You Tootgarook, Victoria, Australia
By BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear on 18-May-13. Waypoint GC4AGT8

Couldn’t get this one

Looked everywhere but no signs of this one. Lots of previous DNFs so think this needs some CO attention. TFTC

Looks like another one has been taken. Not replacing

??

DNF @ 17:12 with The Good Lady Wife.

We're holidaying nearby and went for a walk to get out and about, and collect a few caches. Today's attempt met with mixed results, with 4 out of the 7 caches as DNFs.

The second cache attempted, but and the first DNF. We looked around the indicated structure, but couldn't find anything out of place.

Thanks anyway BorisB&Natasha

I was heading towards this one in the hope of picking up a diamond for the Mystery at the Museum challenge. Looking at recent logs I didn't fancy my chances so I gave it a miss. Will pop back when it's had a few finds. Thank you.

Second in a row - 2:2 for today

Out on my own today ticking off some more in this wonderful beach location. The weather was a lot better today but still only the odd jogger or doggy walker go past. Waste of time again. Thanks for the continued variety and quality of these caches BorisB&Natasha & Nut Bear

Spent a long time looking for this. No such luck

Not a sight if it

The start of a long lovely walk on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Geo-daughter spotted this one, TFTC

Very nifty. Thanks for the hide

Have a feeling this GC should be somewhere else seen that it's got velcro on...

I am down this way for a couple of days with my muggle daughter. The game plan is to bike ride from our room across the road to Rye, have brunch there and then ride back. I knew that I wouldn't be able to spend to much time at each one if I am to get my daughter to come out with me again so there was a couple DNF along the way. It just means I have to come back the way again. Thanks heaps for placing this series. It was great to see all of the caches are different types of hides.

I found, signed and replaced the cache just before the 788 to Frankston cane into view . A fav from me TFTC

There's a message in the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight.
Cheers BorisB&Natasha

I always get nervous at these kind of hides as it's awkward when a bus driver pulls up! Luckily I was with OzHockeyChick who made light work of this - and found it really quickly. Loving the variety of caches on this trail. Thank you

I have no idea how to do the 'bus stop' could that have helped the find? This one took the longest out of today's finds, an unusual cache and I'm glad it wasn't that band-aid wedged in the corrugated iron.

another quick find tflc off again in the cold and wind with pp7

#4987 found while on a cache hunt with mansgirl. Tftc. The bus driver thought we were waiting for the bus quick find once he left .

Sneaky find nice

Found with Tab and geodog

Found ‘er this time around with LouD. Thank you for coming and replacing the cache. Always good fun!

Bus stop found.
thanks.

Noticed that the CO had done a maintenance check recently and decided to try this one again. After a short search cache was found with new log sheet. TFTC BorisB&Natasha &Nutbear.

Checked on this one today and happy to say the cache is still there.

3/4/18 black strip on ground, catch been taken by looks of it:(
The dingo’s

2/3/18 did not find only black strip
The dingo’s

Muggles stole it lol

As with others today, found the strip but no cache. Seems a muggle has helped themselves to it...

Container must be gone, AlliTron and I put back what was left. Will come back when this is fixed and log this cache as found.

Had a look for it for about 10 minuets. Found nothing

Searched - no find!!!

Flies. Sweat. Blood. The deadly combo of summer caching by the bay.

With water in hand and clif bar in pocket, we spent two days on the Mornington Peninsula collecting those smilies. All in all, we found 30 caches. A few less than we hoped for but thoroughly enjoyable, even if we made many of the finds a lot harder than they were.

Had no luck here. Spent a good 20 mins searching but found nothing.

Sad to say, but we were "missing you". Looked for ages. Looked up, looked down, looked around. We are usually pretty good at finding these sneaky ones. Finally had to call it off when a passenger came and sat down at the bus station. Thanks anyway BorisB&Natasha and Nut Bear

Put my hand straight on it.

Find #542
Mr Womble made the find after dropping his sunnies. TFTC

Wow I'm surprised out of all the caches in the trail this is one of the ones with the least favourite points! I'm going to try change that! I thought this was absolutely genius! I looked straight at it multiple times and was scratching my head and searched the entire bus stop top to bottom. I was running out of places to look and decided to try one more thing. No way! I thought it was missing. Very clever/mean, favourite for this one

---

Ahh yes the Bay Trail! I remember this series from my last visit which I think was over a year ago. Today I have returned on foot once again to continue some of this trail! In total I covered about 9km of the coast with 34 finds and only 3 DNF's!! Which I thought was a massive effort given the difficulty of some of the caches. To be fair I did spent just over 5 hours making my way through them! Thanks to BorisB&Natasha + Nut Bear for one of the most impressive long distance trails I have come across

Trekking with NICnCMI. Great hide. TFTC

Found wirh figgensfour

Found it This one took a little while to find but didn't give up and it was found. Very cleaver. Tftc

Had tried this cache some time back without success, much to our frustration. Filled with determination attempt no. 2 was successful. Another in this series to tick off! TFTC

Didn't find it first time but success this time. My fellow cacher Missmash found it for us. Good sneaky hide. Tftc

I spent a very pleasant morning cycling from Blairgowrie to the Information Centre at Dromana. I found most of the caches I looked for, but the odd trickier one escaped me. The philosophy of the day was to keep moving, anything that wasn’t found in a couple of minutes looking went unfound. Thanks to all of those who have put the effort into setting up and maintaining this series. Cheers and TFTC

I found a black strip of Velcro at the bus stop with no cache on it. Think it's been muggled.

Down from Sydney to visit the family for Easter. Missed this one on the early morning stroll with Geotot where a couple of locals were waiting for the CenterLink bus.... Anyway, decided to go on a cycle up to Blairgowrie just before lunch and continue to pick up a few unfound cache. This time the bus stop was empty and the cache was found pretty quickly, well done with the hide. TFTC #329

As I stayed in Rosebud for just one night, I did part of your series. I loved, that nearly every cache has a different cameo. Out of 16 I managed to find 11. I would've loved to complete the whole series. Thanks for putting so much effort in this series.

Thanks BorisB&Natasha

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. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

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. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.

And I didn't MISS you, what a nice place for a cache, and to have a swim before and after, Thanks for the hide, BorisB&Natash

Nice day trip with geofamily left kid in the sand to go for walk with geodad

Quiet stop on a busy day. Thanks for the find

nice quick easy find found with kmannz and stinky tom. TFTC

Have been camping with the family in Rosebud. Today is our last day so Kmannz, Stinky Bob and I went off to find a few. TFTC

This was one of the caches that I found today whilst riding my bike down the bay trail picking up some of the clues that I had missed and some new ones I had yet to pick up. Found these after coming back from meeting in Mornington, with the goal in mind of reaching my 500th find milestone..... which was easily achievable on this trail. I am really enjoying this series and I had saved it till the summer where i could enjoy it in the summer heat whilst adding a little difficulty with the muggle factor.Anyways thanks for the cache and the beautiful trip down the foreshore.
**Buhfuhguh #501**

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

It has been twelve months (exactly) since I last visited this bus stop. Last year I missed the cache but today it was there, waiting for me to add my name to the successful searchers.
Thank you BorisB&Natasha and Nutbear.

**BAY TRAIL THIRD TIME LUCKY**
After previously completing two thirds of the Bay Trail series of caches on separate days, it was time to come back for a third day to finish things off.

A thorough investigation of the gz quickly led to the cache being uncovered. A very clever, very cool cache that was a great one to find.

TFTC, Brainiac03

We moved the car along then checked out if we were close to any caches. Indeed we were and we went to the closest where a short search revealed an interesting cache conformation at 13:20. TFTC

Log replaced with new waterproof one

After talking about doing the Borisb&natasha and Nut Bear bay trail with Bounty Trackers, for nearly 2 years we finally got around to doing it.

[Scrat](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=4376822) visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Thank-you Borisb&natasha and Nut bear for this great series.

Final getting time to do the famous Borisb&natasha and Nut Bear bay trail on a gorgeous day with Poiter.h Sl thanks Borisb&natasha and Nut bear for the great series.

Found it

**I had a couple of hours free this morning, what better way than to grab a few surpurb caches. Wish we had more containers like these in Sydney.**

A very quick find! Our 7yr old is on fire today! TFTC

I was up very early this morning and rather than wake the geo family, I decided to make my out the door in stealth mode and find a few caches along the bay trail while still in darkness. I was a bit stumped by this one as the GPSr had me close to the bus timetable. I read some logs which mentioned many different things and different cache containers. This was eventually found, a type I've seen many times and it stood out once I stopped reading logs and just hunted. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for this trad cache, BorisB & Natasha** [^]
**Cache container and log good in good condition**
**Took Nothing, Left signature**

Out getting some caches in the sunshine. Ticking off a couple more on the Bay Trail. TFTC.

Found it TFTC

Checked the timetable. Sat down, signed the log and left glad no bus was scheduled for another hour TFTC

What a gorgeous day to be out and about. This is a great cache. Tricky if there's muggles around but we were lucky. TFTC Heading back to Dromana for a few we haven't done and to help out a fellow geobuddy.

Another day on the trail. The weather looks like being kinder to us. The trail is still in very good condition for riding.
Had to ride past this one and come back as there was a muggle waiting to catch a bus. Heard a few toots as I searched later. Turned out to be Tag-along on his return from the usual car shuffle with trails.
TFTC BorisB&Natasha

Out with Judith9799 on our bicycles doing the other half of the bay trail. A brief sit down and a quick find. Glad a bus didn't come along! TFTC

Out for a bike ride with mazza-g completing the last of this trail. I haven't seen one like this before. Mazza-g was quick to make the find here. TFTC

Looked high, looked low, looked under, looked in. Easy on a wet weekday with few muggles about!
Finally came up trumps. Oh so obvious but so well hidden. Many thanx to BorisB&Natasha

This one was a great, amazing and superb cache that is very clever.

Looked twice with no joy lm sure l was missing something

Tftc

Had a great time on this trail with my grandson for company

This one has us stumped... Looked around for a bit and some activity logs... Lots of muggle activity... Geowife hungry for breakfast...

As soon as I arrived, I saw a likely thing. But the nature of that thing suggested to me that the cache itself was missing. But I checked previous logs, and Suscoe had recently found it (it's a shame that we didn't cross paths while in the area...). So i waited for a gap in the traffic, had a go at said thing, and voila! It WAS the cache
* * * * *
Having camped overnight in my brand new hike tent at West Rosebud, I woke early, did the morning routine, packed up the campsite, and started geocaching in the other direction.
The morning was very windy, but that made for wonderful views of the bay. Birds were struggling to fly, boats were tossing about on the waves, and there was ever the sound of water swishing onto sand. Bliss
I had to be back home in time to do the Cub Leader thing in the evening, so I planned which bus I'd get back to the car. I made it as far as the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron before the rain set in. Thirty finds today took the total for my mini holiday to 66.
Thank you so much to BorisB&Natasha for this wonderful series, for the songs in my head, and for time out from/for real life

Suscoe's 2nd last find of the day.
The light was disappearing quickly now.
A quick find here.
Thanks to BorisB&Natasha for placing this cache here.
Much appreciated for doing this trail for us to enjoy.

We decided to take a walk along this section of the trail, not intending to do more than 5 caches and then return to the car, but it felt good and we didn't turn around for a while.

A nice casual stroll here to check out the Bus Stop and found all to be good, a nice cache find here. Not much chance of getting sprung by a bus after seeing how often (not) they run along here.

TFTC Nutbear, Boris&Natasha

Second time I have been to this spot. About to walk away-just too many cars! BUT luckily I had master 4 with me as he spotted it!

Nnd

Flat

Spent ages here used hints in previous logs but still couldn't get our hands on this one

Found it!

Day 5 of our geoholiday in Victoria and after we set up camp at Rosebud we had some lunch and then set off to do some of these bike trail caches, we managed to get to the Limestone Kiln before heading back to camp, absolutely fantastic riding the bike along here with some really brilliant hides along the way, some really sneaky caches thrown in to keep us on out toes, loved it : ) TFTC

Found it! TTAJ

Easy find

Found it as mentioned in another post, not a container

Found with carkisser .......
Thank you for the hide ......

We've been missing you! BorisB, Natasha and NutBear caches are our faves. Number three for tonight. Might be no muggles but the bloody bugs are out in force. TFTC

McBagi's adventure log: Find #033-K nice cache although it's not a container as the description suggests

Attempted this series back-to-front on a hot day while visiting Monington peninsula from UK. Only managed about 1/4 of the way before retiring from the sun! Only saw what looked like remains of where cache used to be so gave up
