Time for this to go.
Getting muggled to often.

Disabled until I can check it out.

The trouble with a string of do not finds it that one tends to not want to spend too much time looking, especially as the coordinates were putting me in the middle of the lawn. Will put a watch on and see if this gets a find...

Unable to find this one with tassie expat

Another DNF on this trail 5 out of 5. About to give up.

Looked up past activity and did not find.

Perhaps we were a little disheartened by the time we reached this cache. We failed to find any sign of this one even though we spent 15 minutes looking for it. We will keep these on watch but are unlikely to return until the caches are çonfirmed as being in place.

Hm. Searched high and low and no cigar today.

We found this cache today at 11:25am as number 3 of 37 on our Moe to Churchill Trail. Saw that this one had had a recent DNF so we were glad to find relatively quickly. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Nice night cache with noonab

Out n about on the bikes to do some local caches , great little spot Thanks for theAdventure

Unfortunately same as previous search dnf

After our extensive search for this one this morning, we've decided to log a dnf

Up or down that's the choice?? Enjoyed this one. Travelled to Gippsland lots of times but have not stopped at this lovely park before.

Easy find, could see it as we were approaching. Thanks for the cache in gardens I never would have known existed!

Great hide found while at leap year event tftc found with geodude#74

Took a bit of searching to find this one as the phone gps didn't want to work today. With Apple460. TFTC!

Got it had to wait for the council workers to go

Nice quick fine with 2N's as we get ready to do AAWT. TFTC

Found fairly quickly. Thanks for the cache in these beautiful gardens

Lovely gardens TFTC

Cool hide

Nice walk love the view from the bridge with grannygeo64 and geodude#74 tftc

Great find found with lilmissgeo and geodude#74

Tricky but up!

Out on a Sunday road trip caching with gwd.aussie @ sqau.
The others in the party had previous found so I was flying solo on this hunt. I am sure they enjoyed standing back watching me search luckily I had the cache after a short search.

Thanks Poiter.h

Together with Willem-Jan on our trip to Austalia from Sydney to Melbourne - Tasmania - Adelaide - Canberra - Sydney.

Together with Spade52 I traveled for almost 6 weeks through Down Under Australia. We made our trip, using a Spaceship rental car, visiting the 5 most southern states of Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australia Capital Territory. I was the driver and Spade52 the navigator. We mostly avoided the motorways and mainly used the coastal roads that led us through many small nice and rustic villages and sleeping towns. We stayed in motels, backpacker hostels and occasionally a campsite. Luckily the weather was very agreeable during our trip with nice temperatures and little rain. We especially enjoyed the nature, the (for us) extraordinary flora and Australia's wildlife. On our trip we visited many geocaches. All CO's thanks for showing us many interesting and special spots.
On our way from Sydney to Melbourne, using the Princess Highway, we stopped in Moe to spend the night in a hotel. In the morning we went out to find some geocaches. We quickly found this cache. Very nice hide.

Found it thanks for the cache

Good one. I am really enjoying your series...

Found although someone didn't put the log back properly, and the paper was so hard to get out, felt like caveman. Great and easy find. X

First find of the day on a trip to Moe. Found the cache nicely tucked away in its hiding spot after a quick search. TFTC!

found it, an easy one to start the day. TFTC

Good cache. Found on a nice day out with the love doctors.

Clever!!! First find of the day

Easily seen . Thank,s fth.

Found 11:39, after a brief search.

TNLN, thanks Poiter.h.

After finishing a job in the Main Street of Moe I decided I would grab some caches around the area this was the first cache I grabbed, after signing the log I thought why am I doing this trail by foot, so I decided I would bring the bike back to do the rest and go and find some drive bye ones. Thanks Pioter.h for the cache.

Quick find. After a nice walk along the trail TFTC

Out on he trail today doing a maintenance run.
Cache was missing so I have replaced it.

Happy caching

Poiter.h

Looking in some spots that I thought might be a likely hiding spot but had no luck finding the container today.
Thanks to Poiter.h for the hide.

We're obviously missing something. No luck on the journey either way.
TFTC

Very clever geokids loving our day out

Yay

Nice little hide. Make sure you are on the bridge, not under. TFTC

The call of the Rail Trail got to us, so BettyBoo3747 and I loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Moe and the MTY trail.
The water below looked nice today, although someone had chucked a shopping trolley in it. Considering the distance to the nearest supermarket, this is a fair effort!
I'm glad we didn't need to join it down there.
The paper doesn't hang out if it is rolled correctly.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7464. The forecast for Moe was a hot summer's day so we decided to leave Melbourne early and head for the MTY. Robmc and I also hoped to log a Challenge we had recently noticed, once I fulfilled a couple more requirements today. We hit thick fog not far out of Melbourne which was not in the plan. Wet feet and a fraying temper to start the day.

I had spotted the tell-tale piece of paper hanging out but didn't realise it was what I was looking for. Read the most recent log and went straight back to the spot and voila there was a cache. Names added and carefully rolled the log and now all neat and tidy in its hiding spot. A nice spot to stop over the water.

Thanks Poiter.h

This one was tricky! Confused us a little but found it in the end great spot!

Need bigger container as paper was hanging out. But good one! It took a bit though!

Found while out on a bike ride along the trail. Neat hide. Thanks Pete for the hunt.

Again the others doing the trail were here and after making the find we quickly rode after them and subsequently joined forces on the last few that we had to find. TFTC Poiter.h

Yay - found it today while in the company of fellow cachers Jimmymaff and TheGGG's. Thanks folks for a fun afternoon of caching - four pairs of eyes and 3 GPSs can certainly have a lot of fun together. TFTC Poiter.h.

Found with new bees from Qld and jujudada and Gwen TFTC.

Found with the queenslanders after a nice picnic lunch. Nice site. Tb loose moose also enjoyed the hunt.

Tricked me lol

Finished up with this one. Fantastic series. Thanks for the effort and maintenance.

This particular one is simple when you get down to think about it.

TFTC

Found it

Tricky to find but found it in the end.

Very sneaky! Found it through good luck rather than good management!

Tricky one that was took a long time to find was fun thank you

Very dificult, took me 2 try's to find it, had to ask someone for a clue, lol, good fun, enjoying myself alot,

Our third find for the day!!

Thanks again!!

A really smart hide away!
Took us awhile..
With skittlez05

Tricky

Fluked this one!!tftc

Couldn't find this one today, too many muggles around, will try again next time.

took our first look but quickly realised that we were a few metres away, when we found the right place, all good tftc

Today's goal was to ride the rail trail and pick up as many finds as possible and tick my find count over the 100 mark. This was our first target and after a slight hiccup to start with, cache was soon in hand, log signed and off to the next week.

Got to the Bridge and waited for a couple to ride by on there bikes.
Found the cache and return it to its hide.

(found out at the next cache the two bike riders were the last cachers that found this cache.)

thanks for the hide Poiter.h

gwd.aussie found the cache quickly.
The water was running fast today
log signed and off to the next one
Thanks Poiter.h

Cache found safe and sound...TFTC

Not sure if still here? Last find 2 months ago :/

AAAH, GPS all over the place; on the bridge, off the bridge, in the water! Took my best stab at a location and it was quickly found by GeoDad. TFTC!

Found this one on a walk along the rail trail. Didn't gave a pen as I was not planning to cache, but couldn't resist when I knew I was walking right past it! Had to improvise and make a pen out of a stick!! TFTC

This was a great trail, thanks Poiter.h. Lu Lu Bug enjoyed the view while I did a quick search and found this sneaky cache.

Now we didn't read the description of this one carefully. Or perhaps because we come from a backward state that's never heard of "rail trails" & can barely keep a railway running at all. So we looked at this & reckoned "No, it's not going to be on the railway line is it. Hmm, which side? This way. Nope. OK, over there. Nope. Ah, I can see a track going up there now. Whoah, no big fences & do not enter signs. What's this? A lovely flat walking track that goes for miles." Magic & very very unusual stuff for us. Wish we had more time to explore this new fangled thingie (with caches to boot) but we had time commitments up north. So one magical find & we had to depart. Sigh!

All up and running again with some minor changes made.

Happy Hunting

Poiter.h

Keep your eyes on this one as I will have it up and running soon

Poiter.h

I did a MTY cache maintenance walk today.

This cache is MIA.

I am going to rethink this one.

Happy hunting

Poiter.h

A local muggle wanted to talk and wouldn't leave until I left too, so didn't really get to look for this one.

After careful extraction, signed log and replaced cache.Thanks again Poiter.h

A phone call from Slink1 asking ‘what’s on for the weekend?’ found us down in Morwell for other reasons and it was a case of well we’re here now and so the hunt began Many thanks to Poiter.h for the time and effort of looking after this cache. TNLN SL

Off on a weekend sweep in the Morwell area with many good caches found many thanks to Poiter.h for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL

Love the hide and love that I have my very own wasptor! Some of the attachments had us confused but we left it as we found it TFTC

Ducked out on sunset for a couple of quick caches before it got dark. This one had us looking for a bit before Fraggles made the find. Now how do we get it? We didn't have any tools with us, but Fraggles was my spotter and I retrieved the cache. Probably not the best way, but it was quick. Thanks for the cache!

Fortunately we set off with lots of the right equipment with our bikes, and once the pedestrian traffic cleared we were able to make the retrieval. Thanks for the challenge Poiter.h

Out at 7.30am and found our first cache for 2014 - Happy New Year

Called back to this one today with the correct tool for the job
Got to the cache with my first cast only to find it had a string attached and I may have been able to retrieve it another way TFTC Poiter .h
First one for 2014, who knows why I was out at 730 am after a big night at least there were no muggles around
! Happy new year

After finding this one today we have to return with a special tool to retrieve it. The GPS was spot on but it may not be where you think then again it is where you would not think it would be ! TFTC

A busy spot at the moment. Thanks poiter.h FTC. ***FTF***

After a bit of head scratching and shifting backwards and forwards with the GPS, we finally used our eyes. A clever cache!!
