Holy George I hope that is not REAL! Kilcunda, Victoria, Australia
By Gonefishen07 on 05-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4DN57

Timer up for this one

Disabled on behalf of CO to allow checking.

Spent 40 minutes searching - muggle free, from 1040 - 1120. In which time I did find the cover for a silica gel sachet. Probably not from the cache, but certainly needing a check by the CO. Thanks, it was a nice cool morning for searching.

Clambered around and under, but no find.

DNF, no sign of it real or other wise. Cheers

I did not find anything scary. However, there is quite a lot of foliage around, so the rascal could be hiding. Instead, I was very privileged to see a Blue Fairy Wren traipsing along the path. Thanks anyway, Leesa!

#733 - Slowly on my way down to Inverloch for some coast caching over the long weekend. Couldn't resist stopping at some caches on the way down while getting a good chunk of a Wherigo done.

As I approached Phillip Island, I then had to decide what to do for the rest of the afternoon and I decided I felt like going for a walk! I parked the geo-mobile at the Punch Bowl carpark on Punch Bowl Road and walk until I felt like turning back. The Sun was out now and a cool breeze made the walk very enjoyable.

I was waiting for a hide like this and I was not disappointed! Really good job with the variety and effort of your caches along this trail Gonefishen07, keeps it all fun and interesting! Tftc

Found. Thanks

Found with geo daughter and junior geo cacher who was in a pusher. She did it easy, and so did we eventually after geo daughter baulked at touching it, but after I reassured her it wasn't real she was OK. TFTC GF 07

Like many other finders, I had to question whether or not this was real. I wasn't even sure if I could get down there to have a look but I decided to see what I could see before I gave up and came back with a geo-kid. Well it was an easy find but I was too scared to pick it up. I lifted it with my walking sticks to ensure I was not mistaken. Well planned cache. Thanks.

Out with frmen1 who convinced me that it wasn't snake season lol Decked out in my gaiters, just in case, we set off to clear a few cache on this walk. CO knows my feelings re these types of caches. Luckily, the cache was put back before an inappropriately shoed muggle came past. TFTC

After grabbing 5 ftfs I decided to grab this cache as well while I was out on the track, still hesitated in grabbing cache even though I knew it was a fake one. Thanks Gonefishen for another cache.

Off for a last bit of shopping at thaggi, and as is our habit we headed for killy for a sunset. Clouds hampered the views a bit, but enough light around for a quick find. Kangaroos were watching our every move, that is until they became more interested in each other tftc

Found this one with crig, along with the local wildlife: kangaroos. It was a surprised to see them when we arrived in the car park. TFTC

In the area for a work meeting today in San Remo and decided to get out for a walk first thing this morning and grab a cache or two.
Looked around quickly and nothing jumped out so it was time for a more thorough search. Found whilst in close quarters and almost whacked my head, that nasty pasty has been around here.
Thanks for placing this cache Gonefishen07

With ceebee2013. Parked in Mabelia Road for this (second) visit to reduce the walking distance and thus keep my back a little happier. I was surprised at the number of people who use this pathway. I had a chat with a trio of foreign visitors who had walked apparently from San Remo and were heading for the Kilcunda Hotel for refreshment before returning to their car. Saw them again on their return journey and they still seemed full of pep.

19/10/2014 - 4.08pm - Cache No. 307 - 5th for the day - with dgfb33. Fog clouds had rolled/blown in & it was quite cool when we arrived. Parked in a better location to get this one & the next one. Spied this tricky one but left dgfb33 to retrieve it. REALLY glad it wasn't real! Had a few passing muggle issues with this one. Quite easy for them to sneak up from either way because of the terrain.

Oh dear, Mr S just about had a fit! Found it Lots of water around here today, guess it rained a lot last night. Today was perfect weather though, TFTC.

Loved this cache. What a great idea. Came home and told my family all about it. I think it may inspire them to come with me on a more regular basis. All in good order. Thank you for hiding this one.

It was too cold to take my gloves off to read the information for this cache, and I did not even read the name, and were not expecting to find what we did. Thankfully it was a very cold day, and we were feeling very confident that the only wildlife out today were kangaroos!! This was a good lesson in reading the cache details before searching blindly with our hands. Thanks for the adrenalin rush Gonefishen07

Omg omg omg omg was the call from geodaughter. Awesome

I was stretched out on my guts looking for this one and when I did see it I thought "Good God, please let that be the cache!". You're probably not meant to sweat like I did on such a cool day! TFTC

Found with 2nd mornington sea scouts - nice imaginative hide

GPS insisted on a particular spot and logic said different and my body said it was too exhausted to sort it out so I quit and headed for home. And my bike refused to carry me back up the hill so I had to wheel it up.

Found as Nicnax with SciFiRulz. TFTC

Slink1 and I decided we should take the ladies out for an airing so we took them with us caching today. Twas a great day for it so we headed down to Wonthaggi and surrounds balancing out priorities. We had a really good time. Many thanks to the cache owners for the placement and upkeep of the caches. TNLN TFTC SL

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and WeRAmused. Good name for the cache. TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and ScifiRulz. Looks real from a distance. TFTC

We took advantage of the great weather over the weekend and headed down to Wonthaggi with our ladies managing to check out a few beaches, dunes and generally had a wonderful time.
Really enjoyed the diverse as well as the difficult caches, actually managed to make short work of the difficult , luck on our side today. Overall the time away was very successful with the beach play and caching fun.

Many thanks to Gonefishen07 for the effort and placement of this cache

Very good. Well named cache. TFTC

Required a bit of poking to make sure while first to spot offspring was still running towards Kilcunda.....

Melbourne parties Friday noon and returned Tuesday morning in Melbourne. I came here to make different trail of caches in the area. It was intense few days with my bike but very nice! I could find caches with superb camouflage, very good ideas from the cachers. This log will be the same for all caches that I made (sorry) But I want to congratulate in particular:

Nut bear & BorisB & Natasha for "Bay Trail" and "Red Hill Express" (Beautiful cover!)
The Three Amigos Geo for "The Pathway"
Gonefishen07 for the great "Rail Trail"

As well as other geocacher who I discovered several caches during these few days.
Thank you very much

Greetings from France
I will be at Mega event with my friend who just especially France also "Ckronos"

Took a little rummaging before spotting it. TFTC

Nice one! Kids were too scared to look for it, then quick to say it wasn't scary at all. LOL.

18:50... Thanks Gonefishen07 for the entertaining and funny discussion that persude after this find. Needless to say my heart stopped for a split second, which is why I would make this a favourite, but am concerned about the impact on weak hearts.

Found at 4:11 PM GAFF1. You know that is not what I said while rummaging around and then spotting a very realistic version. IT was more like "Holy @#$%" !!
An absolutely wonderful day to go on such a walk, but you had to be doused in insect repellent because those flies are just horrendous.
Thanks Gonefishen07.

last one for the day hubby very impressed with this one thanks

Found with Thing no1 and Hearse068 on a school holiday caching run. TFTC SL

Found with Thing no2 and Hearse068 on a school holiday caching run trying to get Hearse068's numbers up and some driving experience and hours in for me. TFTC SL

Found with Thing no1 and Thing no2 on a school holidays caching run to clean up a few strays and give Thing no1 some driving experience. Cache number 992 getting closer to 1000. This was a quick find and sign with the walker getting closer. Did take the time to scare Thing no1 with the cache as she walked past me TFTC

Tftc

It did look real. Fantastic

Was going to leave it until we read the title one of the best for the day!

3rd find today with the geosis. Love the camouflage. Thanks

Interesting minder.tftc

Loved this cache. I hadn't read the title of the cache and was a bit worried for a moment! We have no pen so couldn't sign the log. TFTC

Found it on our walk from Punchbowl rd to powellet rover camp ground with Wirringga Scouts. Got them to get down under the bridge and retrieve it.

Makes you think. Thanks GF07 FTC.

Found on another fantastic TDC night. I appologise for the very late generic logs, I left for a trip to England shorhtlly after this night and have been playing catch up ever since. There were some fantastic, inventive hides in the area that I really appreciated.Thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache

Another fantastic TDC caching night in the Melbourne and down to the Wonthaggi area. A lot of caches found, including Keep It Moving. A night filled with laughs and good company. My appologies for the late and generic log, have had personal issues to deal with, and still sorting them out, so trying to catch up now. Thanks to all CO's for their hides.....

This cache was found during todays TDC Monday cache run. Our plan for the run was to hit the Bass / Kilcunda region with the Bass walk high on the agenda. We started with a few new caches around the eastern suburbs and then made our way south down the Bass Hwy. The weather was good for us tonight and nowhere as wet or cold as on previous runs.
We all had a great night with plenty of laughs and a nice variety of caches found, including a well sort after international travelling cache. The Bass walk caches were a highlight for me and well worth the late night trek.
From the carpark we first went and found Shelley's Hidden Treasure Chest before making our way only the path to the point and then onto this cache. Thanks goodness it wasn't real. Thanks for the hide.
Thanks to all the CO's who placed the caches we found tonight.

We had a great walk along this path. Thanks for the experience.
Thanks

On another very cold night the planned route for The Demolition Crew was into the Wonthaggi area to make a dent in the unfound caches int hat area. The trip started in teh eastern suburbs of Melbourne and took us south collecting some caches as we went. With lots of laughs, it was to our surprise that a well known D5/T5 moving cache had the co-ordinates updated in the area. It was then a mad dash in the middle of the night to sign that log, before we continued the planned route into the wee hours of the morning. These winter nights can be very cold, but at least this time it wasn't raining. Thanks to all the CO for placing and maintaining their caches. We had lots of fun finding and signing. Cheers TR.

Another great hide. Thanks for bringing us over here again. TFTC

Found at 13:55. With today being the shortest day of the year the weather has turned it on and it was a beautiful afternoon to be out walking along some of the coastal walk. Cache was found in the first spot I looked and thankfully it is not real. Thanks

After finding at blank front page at 'Shelley's hidden Treasure Chest" we all headed off here in hope of another one. Unfortunately the timing wasn't the best for the views but what we could see in the moonlight did look good. We wandered along to gz and the cache container was soon spotted. We have to say if this had been a warm summers day things may have been slightly different. We were quite pleased to see that no-one had visited this one either and we were soon signing the blank page, another FTF for us.
Thanks one last time Gone Fishen07 for the cache.

A group FTF with Team Crackers and Alansee tonight, the cache was retrieved by Alansee because I was not sure about it's existence (you got me)
Our thanks to Gonefishin for the cache
Regards
The Coffee's

The second of two late-night FTF's with the Coffee Clan and Team Crackers. We thought about one way in, then changed our minds and were glad we did as the other way was half the distance. Once at GZ it was only a matter of which side and the hide was soon ours.

This was WAS the last for the day/night. Many thanks to Gonefishen and friends for all the work put in to creating the enjoyment for the rest of us.
