Lake Nillahcootie Lima South, Victoria, Australia
By BettyBoo3747 on 02-May-13. Waypoint GC4BAV6

Called past to check on this one today.

Discovered the lid of the previous cache (that we could not find in May). The container left in May has been muggled. Archiving this one and have left a new one nearby. About to write up the cache page now.

Found the top of the missing cache in the dirt on the ground but no sign of the rest. There has been work going on in the area as well.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Quite possibly the lid of the old container, which is why a new container was left in May. Someone else found the lid and the new cache. Will check it when I can.

DNF, I think muggles have been here

I looked here and I looked there. But no sign.
Looks likes there's been some recent changes to the area. We did find a green lid and another bottle cap but not sure if it was the cache or not. Will try again another day.

Found while on a long long drive from wollongong to Melbourne. A good spot to have break & stretch the legs.

Out Caching With Adventures Of Tillie

Driving past stopped in for a stretch nice quick find

TFTC

Stopped in for a stretch of our way through with TilliesTravels. Easy find, cache and log in good condition.

After DNF'ing when we were new at this sport, we wanted another crack. This time, in the cold, the cache and the lid of the old container were found within a minute. Funny how experience can stop you looking in the leaves. Anyway, back to the car with the heater on. TFTC

Did a maintenance run checking caches from Swanpool to Alexandra and fixed things as needed. Replaced the full log sheet and changed over the container as the lid was missing. All good to go.

Enjoying exploring this area while stsying at Mansfield for a few days. Easy find between muggles. Thanks BettyBoo3747 for helping us gsin another smile.

Took this window of opportunity to look at Lake Nillahcootie.

7.57am
On Road trip to Clear Water 2019 Mega in QBN from Melbourne. Found with pwala and logged. Thanks BettyBoo3747 for the cache.

Found it with crank1 on our way to Canberra for Mega event. TFTC. Beautiful views.

This one took a while as we had to wait for muggles to finish their lunch and move on but what did they do? .... played in the autumn leaves for what seemed an eternity. It gave us time to consider the possibilities for a quick grab when they moved on. TFTC

A bit of searching before the compass locked on and we found it. Tftc!

Tftc, very windy here today!

Tftc
Windy It would blow a dog of the chain

Out caching with bernspagette today chasing the final points for the cache carnival . This one wasnt a quick find because when we arrived at the GZ there was a family there enjoying the area! We waited until they moved on before making our move and Bernspagette being the taller, retrieved the cache. Thank you to BettyBoo3747 for making and placing this cache.

A huge lake, the water level is still really low, but quite a few people fishing and boating on a wild windy, freezing day, hopefully that rain that started last night keeps going and fill the lake, the farmers would absolutely appreciate it.
Cool - it’s great to see the local area through the eyes of a geocacher, it makes for an very interesting way to travel around Australia.
Seeing these interesting parts of a local area that shows the history, the memories of characters, and pioneers who lived and worked on the land.
An amazing part of the local history here.
We meandered over to GZ, found the cache, with signing duties done and dusted, we replaced the container as found.

We were staying with friends in Tatong for the weekend so we brought the kayaks, fishing rods and a picnic lunch down to the lake for a few hours. We ere parked on the banks about a 1km from the cache so the ladies went for a nice stroll to find this cache. Dorkasscott was most unimpressed that, yet again, i had brought a non-working pen with me! We weren't going to walk all the way back to the cars so I brought the pen open and managed to dip the roller ball into the last vestiges of ink and scratch our names in the log book. I'll leave the pen duties to her next time!

After spending some time at this beautiful lake we found the cache ...keep your eye up

Returning towards home from a special 90th birthday in Melbourne, despite the constant traffic (fortunately) going in the opposite direction, how often over the years travelling on Maroondah Highway have we thought about stopping here, geocaching gave me that opportunity. Noticed a car/van parked close to where my phone was sending me, should I wait until they go or should I continue to search? I did notice one logger said it would be an advantage to be tall! On looking up again I noticed the person coming towards
me phone in hand & soon a smile on our faces as we realised we were looking for the same thing, a cache! Lovely to meet Jacko*, I swapped my pen for his height, thanks for placing a cache at this lovely spot great to see all the water skiers, memories of another life for me!

While coming home from a quick weekend in Melbourne we looked for a spot where we could have lunch and score a smilie. After eating I went for the search when another car pulled up. I tried to act cool for a minute but then noticed them acting more like cachers than Muggles. Turns out they where caching so we found it together then enjoyed a quick chat before moving on.
TFTC.

Nice quick find for the taller member of the BTravellers. Not so pleasant here today with a brisk southerly and a choppy lake.

TFTC fount it on our evening drive home

Had to stop here for an emergency toilet stop - I won’t say which member of the geo family need the toilet urgently! After finishing at the toilet we went to gz. After searching around for a while we found the sneaky hiding spot.

TFTH! Cache and log in good condition

Found with a little struggle. Quite sneakly hidden

Yarrawonga Ventures found this during lunch stop on the way home from huge 4WD weekend

A quick stop here on our way home from a hike in the hills.
I found it quick smart today. I recall looking for this one a long long time ago and not having any luck. Funny how things change, including your luck!

TFTC!

Found on a short stop at this lake.

Short stop for drivers swap. Thank you for the cache and best regards from a swiss visitor.

I'm on holidays with my family. My dad 999hunter found most of them with me.
Took some photos with the lake and explored.

Today being the first day of our holiday, it turned into a big day of firsts. First day of L plate Son1 driving interstate, first day of L plate Son2 driving the whole family. First day of caching interstate, first FTF interstate and first time of the whole family getting a FTF.

While planning the drive, I saw this cache and thought it would be a great place for breakfast and it didn't let me down. Lovely area, and the cache was eventually found in good condition. Our GPS said about 10 meters out.

Thanks for the cache Betty Boo 3747

nice find on our way home from Yarrawonga TFTC

We had to go down to Melbourne overnight to visit son and pick up some meat for our dogs, so a route was chosen (not the Hume) and caches downloaded. I downloaded 95, but did not excpect to even try to get them all.

We arrived at the beautiful Lake Nillacootie, no muggles around but GPS found us a bit short of the final GZ. After reading some old logs, we found one that made sense, looked a little elsewhere and bingo. Funny thing was that that logger rang me that night (for another reason)!

Thanks BettyBoo for the hide and location

What a great spot on a sunny day. Easy to find during the week.
Tftc

Took a while but geokid ash found it. Tftc

On the way back from the Glenrowan food and wine festival and needed to fill a calendar date. Beautiful spot to stop on a stunning afternoon. Took me a little while to get my gps and caching eyes on but then it was an easy find. Thanks for the cache!

Bit tricky

We had passed Lake Nillahcootie on our way to the high country, and had decided it would be a great place to stop on the way back for lunch. It was a great place to stop and stretch the legs after a few hours in the car. I set to finding this cache, which didn't take long at all. A few boats were out on the water, but this area was empty. TFTC

Stop here for morning tea, and checking the iPhone, there was a cache only 25 metres away, which didn’t take long to find. TFTC BB. Gets a favourite for a top location.

Found while out on a drive today

Quick find on a very windy day en route to Mt Buffalo. Tftc

To many muggles last time but quick easy find today. Thanks BettyBoo

What a beautiful location. My co-ords were a little out but had in hand quickly. Tftc

A quick find while we had lunch on day two of our Victoria trip. TFTC

After attending the MEGA event on the weekend, Snickersallan, RoddyC and I are on our way to Canberra and caching along the way.
What a beautiful spot for a rest and a cache.
Snickersallan managed to locate this one after a bit of a search by all of us.
SL then returned cache to its hide.
TFTC

Found on a beautiful summer day with team RoddyC and patrol14 whilst on our journey to Canberra.
Wow, such a lovely tranquil spot to pull up at where we searched a little longer to find the sneaky hide, well done.

Caching on the way from Mansfield to Canberra with Snickersallan and Patrol14.

Snickersallan was not 6 foot tall but she found it OK.

Found this cache on our tour around the countryside while visiting the event in Alexandra.

Took a bit of looking but we eventually found it. Beautiful place. TFTC

We have been slowly making our way from Queensland down to Victoria to attend the Alexandra Mega Event and finding a few caches along the way. After spending a few days in Dinner Plains, it was time to make our way to Alexandra and set up camp in preparation for the big event. Of course, for safety reasons we needed to stop periodically to find a few caches along the way

We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the logbook, we continued on our way [^]

Thank you BettyBoo3747 for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

On our way from Canberra to Alexandra and this one was nest on the list. Drove into the car park and walked the short distance to GZ. Mrs Yof was reading past logs and advised me that I needed to be about 6 foot tall. Soon had the container in hand. I did not need to stand on a near by elevation device. Got it from the other side. TFTC BettyBoo3747

Found after a short search. My Garmin's GZ was several metres away at the bottom of the steps. (No need to be "6 feet tall". I am 165cms and I could reach.) TFTC BettyBoo3747.

What a pretty place to find a cache!!! Thankyou

Saturday seems to have become caching day and so dalerious and I set off to find some caches and to hopefully remedy a previous DNF too!
Starting in Wangaratta, travelling to Mt Buller and then ending the day in Eildon it was a HUGE day out [^]
We saw varying scenery from close ups of the underneath of a bridge to stunning high mountain views [^]
We even had to shovel snow!
By day's end I'd found 16 but had also DNFd a cache I had really hoped to find so even though we got 2 FTFs the day just didn't leave me as happy as I could have been
It's a very good thing that dalerious is so easy going [:X] as I just may have become a tad fractious by the end of the night! [xx(]

Luckily I read some previous logs and realsied that this is yet another 1.5* T that needs the finder to be at least 6feet tall
So using a conveniently placed item, I managed to obtain the right elevation level and make the find quickly
Nice spot [^]

Found along with snaphappy, TR! and Helian as we journeyed around Mansfield and surrounds. We had a really lovely day, enjoying our day out, having a look around, taking in lots of history, coffee's, lunch, and a bit of caching. My thanks to BettyBoo3747 for the cache.

*Made the find whilst House Sitting in Mansfield*...

**360** *consecutive days with finds*

Found with Helian, Sully and TR! as we headed out and about. A fantastic day of fun and laughter and great memories. A beautiful part of Australia. We really are so fortunate.

Thank you for placing and maintaining the cache.

looked and looked and i was about to throw my toys out of the cot but thanks to Mr Wilson's perseverance it was located. tftc

Called past on the way to Alexandra. Log was almost full so have replaced log and put cache back in its correct hiding place.

took a bit the tall bit in the comments was spot on

It's a hard find. But we got it.

*14/7/17, Found @ 10:30 am, Find # 6758.*

While heading to Canberra for the Mega lead up event plus a couple of others and a few other missions along the way, I was passing by this one so I stopped for a look.
I headed over to this one and started looking around but at first I wasn't seeing anything, I then stood back a bit for a wide angle view and thought maybe there and sure enough it was.

**Thanks to BettyBoo3747 for placing this cache.**

It was time for an afternoon cuppa and what better place to stop than here! Still it's starting to cool off as it is around 4pm.
We have stopped here many times over the years though this is the first time we have found a cache here.
A great spot and no one around today. Made for a quick find while Mrs SKI made the cuppa.
TFTC

TFTC!!

Found it. Took a while and read some of the previous logs to find.

6y/o Geokid was spot on when she suggested that the location would be 'a good place to hide a cache' A sentimental spot for me as I grew up sailing on this lake. TFTC

A nice quick and easy find on our way to Albury. TFTC

Lovely peaceful lake thanks for bringing us here on the way to Sydney from Melbourne. Coords are out. TFTC

#606 - 1.25pm
It was time for a short break while out on a road trip with ahomburg. The very warm afternoon was making the lake a picturesque and popular location for boaters, swimmers and picnickers. I was clearly experiencing a some sun induced vagueness as I struggled to find anything at the coordinates. After a little while, a nudge got me within a few metres and from there it was straightforward.
Thanks BettyBoo3747 for a fun stop at a gorgeous place.

Quick find at our tea stop by the lake, couple of fishing muggles otherwise empty

On our way to Jindabyne, stopped here for lunch under the shade of a tree. RFTC

It's fun to cache with a friend,
You can hike, ascend and descend;
Homburg, Jacko and Pacman
with Bentley had a gameplan,
To explore Eildon in one great weekend!

This was one surprisingly big lake that I had never even heard of!
It was a nice place to visit late in the afternoon, watching the choppy water from the more tranquil banks.
Thanks, BettyBoo3747.

The three Amigo's - Pacman, Ahomburg and myself - as well as the trusty GeoMutt Bentley headed North East to tackle some high terrain, clever caches and hard puzzles on a Lake Eildon Tour.

A nice little stop by this lake enroute to Strathbogies!

Travelling home after the Surf Coast mega Event doing a meander through Victoria visiting relies. Took far too long to retrieve this cache and had to read back logs to eventually find it. Coordinates a little out but after signing the log I replaced in its hidey hole. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find.

Still here took ages to find very proud we did was about to give up and on a last ditch attempt had hide in hand

Oh my .. took quite a while to spot this one .. GPS had us going everywhere - turned out to be about 13m from coordinates .. we had looked close to GZ - but missed it on first go .. happy dance we finally found the log & signed it .. TFTC

Two Norwegian travellers visiting Australia. Sightseeing and geocaching. We started in Brisbane 3 weeks ago and by rentalcar we have visited Sunshine Coast, Stanthorpe, Byron Bay, Nelson Bay, Hunter Valley, Katoomba, Wagga Wagga and Beechwort. Today we are heading for Melbourne and will log some caches en route.
Second DNF today.

Another quick find on our way home tftc:)

48. Out for another drive taking my mum sightseeing. TFTC

Nice muggle free find on a drizzly day. The spill way is overflowing, the noise is awesome. Congrats Cracka1 on 600 finds

Water is gusting over the spill way today.Also this is my 600th find

Nice day for fishing and a cache

Lots of muggles around on this cold day while fishing! Lucky we had tall geo husband with us, a bit too high for us to see. It is where you first think it is!! TFTC

Found it thanks

On a trip, with a friend, to Gooloogong, nsw, for a motorcycle night at the pub, we picked up a few caches. This was one of them. Tftc.

After a little bit of a search here, the Moose came up with the goods, a little bit high for the geoboy. Thanks for the hide and showing us this great place. I'm assuming it'd be bustling in summer, but it was empty today.

Quick find as I head north...
