The area of reconstruction is taking too long so I guess I will have to let this one go, sad.

Works are still being completed here, should not be to much longer.
Cheers

Just checked this site out and the council works are still ongoing

Will keep an eye on it and replace ASAP

This site is still out of action.
Will watch and replace ASAP

Unfortunately the Mural has been demolished by works going on in the area.
I will keep an eye on things and see if this can be re positioned.

cheers

Completing a road trip with CPwanderer via Warrnambool.
We checked our nearest caches while we were waiting for dinner.
And found this one located just around the block,
which was good as I had my non-caching shoes on for dinner.
The fencing had me worried, but CP managed to access a gap in the fence & grabbed the cache while no muggles were around.
Great mural, pity if the wall is going
Thanks for bringing us here Kia1

Quick evening find after dinner nearby!!! Thanks Kia 1 for the hide!!

Done

Nice one ! TFTC

TBH this was just a park and grab for us. Nothing really to say about the mural.

Found

found!

Staying overnight on a great Ocean Road Trip. Went past this cache on the way to get groceries. Nice mural. Tftc

Another beautiful day with my beautiful geowife.
Loving Warrnambool!

Found the cache on the just spot.

Have to love a cache where you can walk straight up to it and find it because the heat was keeping all the muggles away!
(I might be guilty of reading hints before i get to caches too!)
Loved the artwork in this part of town, thx Kia1 for your caches!

Great hide highlighting history and mural. TFTC

Found, very small.

Found it

A night in Warrnambool so a stroll to grab some caches was in order...though a warm evening made it a bit sticky. As mentioned previously the cache lid is not catching to the base...good clue made for a quick find. Tftc

TFTC. We are in Warrnambool for a Motorhome Christmas party. We needed to get our gas bottle refilled and while we were out , we took the opportunity to find some more local caches.
The actual find was pretty straightforward. The lid on the nano came off as we extracted the cache. With tweezers we got the second part. We signed log and returned to location. It may pay the CO to check the container.

Found it! Tricky hide but hint is dead on. Cap doesn't stay on the container very well, it fell off when the cache was removed from its hiding place. Could not for the life of me get the log out of the container so didn't end up signing log. Put cap back on the best I could and replaced cache. Thanks!

Found it

Well after a few DNF's this was disabled while I was away on leave.
Upon my return I checked it out and guess what, IT'S STILL THERE.

Cheers

Checked and all set to go.
Cheers

Sadly this has become too prone to muggles.
So this is the end.

Well with some DNF's I Would say this has gone AWOL.
As I am away untill November on leave I intend to replace ASAP.
Bear with me.
Cheers,

It maybe not here DNF

Checked every nook and cranny with JelenaGreenleaf, but no cache. We fear it may be gone.

Georocks101 and I had a few DNFs during our trip here but we're logging this one because we are concerned that it may have been muggled. We thoroughly checked the area that the hinted suggested but found absolutely nothing unless it's been moved. We hope it is still there and that we were just unlucky

Second find of the day. It is calming to sleep with the waves crashing nearby, as long as they don't crash over the tent. By the way Caravan parks : the only place you can walk around in your pyjamas at any time of the day and nobody gives you a second look.
Thanks for the cache at this mural, easily overlooked if you didn't place one here.

Nice way of hiding a nano. Found after some shoping needed for the stay in Port Fairy.

TFTC

quite a few muggles around so I sat down having a sneaky look and play on my phone found, signed put back. I rushed off to check the bus times went to log cache on my phone couldn't find it so a mad dash back to ozone I found it where I was sitting so now i am happy with my phone in hand plentu of time for the bus yippie... tftc

Found it

Miraculously, sighted this whilst driving past and went straight to it.

Cool, ive never actually looked at this mural its really good. Found it. Yaaay. Nice clue.

Found with The Empire as we journeyed from Portland to our respective home towns. We were getting hungry now, so it was a good job we had this one spotted pretty quickly. Great mural, what a tremendous way to brighten a huge wall like this. My thanks to Kia1 for bringing us here to see this, and for the hide as well

Found by The Empire and Sully
Time to start making tracks for home. This time, along the Great Ocean Road between Portland and Port Campbell. A brief cruise through Warnambool, picking up some cool caches, lunch, then back on the road. Lovely mural. Thanks for the cache Kia1.

Quick easy find with great hint. Went before the traffic got hectic
Found with Tahlia.t
Find #27

We have been hunting for an hour and this was our first! yay

Saturday night in the city ... well, Warrnambool certainly turns on its "city" features at this time: There were muggles everywhere! Suss was admiring the mural and the story of the erstwhile building, whilst the vulture saw out the night with his SES colleagues. Hmm, where to start looking? There was one particular spot that came under suspicion, outside the picture, where she gingerly dug, but no nano came into sight. So, she referred to the hint, and the cache was located in no time. Phew - would hate to see people damaging the artwork.
It's an interesting one, with development shown like a dream in modes of transport over time. Certainly adds some welcome colour to the large square and parking lot.
Thanks for bringing me here!

Quick find once I sat down (very happy I didn't have to fish around too far...) Thought I better grab an Aussie cache before I head back home to Canada. Didn't have a pen on me, so no name, but definitely had it in my hands! TFTC!

TFTC luckily no one here Quick find

Easy, but hard to grab it out.

Nice hide came back for a second go and found it!

Found by Team Ninja 12/01/2017, find number 954.
I had previously planned to attempt this cache before Christmas but the carpark was crazy busy with muggles so I didn't even try. I returned today and found the carpark surprisingly quiet - the few muggles over the far side paid no attention to me. I sat down on the curb and must have looked at the right angle as I spotted the cache almost straight away! A nicely hidden cache which could have easily kept me looking for much longer! TFTC.

Got it! Our last one in Warrnambool before we head to gambier. Tftc

Found while spending a few days in Warrnambool with our daughter and her partner. TFTC

Found it with relle77

Found it with relle77

Hmmm. I somehow forgot to log this one the other day...
I got to GZ, and sat on the ground, looking like any other hobo sitting there playing games on my phone. Whenever there was a break in the traffic, I had a quick look. It was an unlikely thing I finally pulled out, but great camo! Signed log and replaced. Thanks for the cache, Kia1

I am in Warrnambool, camping here with Geo-Sons for our annual 10-days-in-a-tent. A few years ago, they started rolling their eyes and saying, "Do we HAVE to go geocaching?" As we've walked around town over the past couple of days, I've kept saying, "I bet we are walking past geocaches" Well, I think I have got the perfect balance this year! They both have to work in Melbourne this weekend, so I have put them on the train, and now have three days to myself until they return on Monday afternoon! Geocaching - here I come!!!

Found it

Found on a caching day trip in the warnambool area with beaker and ferociousflea. TFTC!

Found today while out and about with Ferociousflea and Astronaut99 in Western Victoria.
No problem in locating the cache...
A very sneaky hide!!

Lazy Sunday drive and a few caches with Beaker and Astronaut99. Warily put my hand in a few dodgy places before spotting this one! Nicely done! Thanks

Yeah found it. Nice new log so I didn't have to fiddle with rolling it up again . Very sneaky pays to try everything. High muggles area.

This has been replaced and ready to go. we will see how long it lasts this time.

This has been replaced and ready to go

replace asap

No joy, looks like muggles have paid a visit.

Out caching with Wollaston on a visit to Warrnambool after watching the Grand Final in Melbourne. No luck for us. TFTC

Last two logs says it all, ho hum.
Will have to replace soon as possible.
Cheers.

Happy International Geocaching Day!!!
In town with my muggle inlaws, little Ruverbug and semi geo husband for lunch at the Warrnambool Hotel. Being IGD and all the way down here and nowhere near an event I needed to find a cache to get today's digital souvenir. This was the one we parked closest to. After a delicious lunch in an eclectic establishment we went for a brief walk around to GZ. It's an interesting mural, which I'd not seen before. I looked in the obvious place before getting into the right position to make the find.
Afterwards we found a funky little vintage shop across the car park that without going in there to find the cache I probably would not have found otherwise.
Thanks Kia1 for the cache.

Good one took us a little bit

Found with Poppet11 Hint helped a lot Very high muggle area tftc

(8D) Found on stop in Warrnambool for geowife ( she found it ) interview for promotion in Horsham. TFTC

Great hide tftc

Great mural - should be more of them! TFTC!

Wow what a tricky find !

What a cheeky little hide. Not where I began looking at all but found never the less. Good one TFTC

Found with Geobears, sorry for the late log. TFTC

Found today with Geobears, mural is looking a little washed out. TFTC.

That was s fun search and a nice history lesson. Sadly, we needed the hint, but then found it quickly. TFTC

A very tricky find, very clever. Had to grab it between muggles.
Will give this one a favourite for the clever hide in a busy spot.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Tricky. Clever cache we grabbed between Muggles. Thanks for having one here... It might be our farthest find from home!

Found on 2/4/16 getting a few Warrnambool caches done!
Found by phoning a friend! Easy when you know where it is!!

Amusing little hide spot on clue some previous logs made us chuckle Thanx for the detour cache

After so time looking found it, you are looking for something really small

OMG. Can't say how embarrassed I was when I finally found this one. I've been here countless times on all fours searching but have never found it. Finally I have it. Log signed. Thanks for the challenge Kia1 and for making me stop and appreciate the mural. Would have loved to have seen this magnificent building in its element.

What a great spot

Suscoe had been enjoying a lovely weekend at Port Fairy listening to glorious music.
We were out enjoying some caching after the final song was sung.
This is our second visit here, last time it was too good for us.
Not so today, after an initial search a little refocussing and there was the clever hide.
Well done Kia1, this is a quality hide in an often busy place.
A favourite for your work here.

Good stash high muggle area

Cool

Love the hint had me in the car park having a good look

Foud on an adventure in Warrnambool TFTC. 11th

A quick find while out and about with CAD - lovely day caching in Warrnambool

Walked up to gz and cache was hanging out. Signed log and replaced so it was hidden again. Thank you

Interesting history!
TFTC, greetings from Finland!

Found on our 6 week journey through SA, VIC and NSW. Danke vielmol fürs Versteckä! Greetings from Switzerland )

Beautiful mural! Thanks for the cache

Found it

Found @11:58
Quick easy find while posing for photos, loved the mural.
SL Thanks for the cache and the history lesson Kia1.

We had parked in the carpark well over an hour before we actually got to find this cache. It was so busy with cars coming and going even at this time of night (it was well after 9pm). When a van pulled up near ours and the occupants just sat there, we gave up even going near this cache and went and enjoyed the nearby Laneways 2&3 multi instead. Upon return to the carpark, the van had gone and we were able to make a quick find and return just prior to the next lot of cars arriving. What a grand old building the Coffee Palace would have been. It was good to see the names of the artists above the mural too. TFTC Kia1.

Found it!

Nice hiding spot. TFTC

I enjoyed wandering around warrnambool looking at the murals. Thanks i had to pretend to do the old tie up the shoe lace trick to avoid the muggles tftc

Found! Didnt realise there was one so close to my work! Weph landy

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.
