Another Mulbarton Meander Gisborne, Victoria, Australia
By Julie&GGs on 05-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4WGKG

This visit today was the 2nd visit to our cache due to cachers logging that there were needles and syringes in the area - we found no syringes or needles on our first visit and this morning we not only could not find any syringes or needles but our cache has gone - muggled and as we cannot replace this one we are archiving it.

Be careful !
Syringes with needles still connected laying around

Found it also noticed a lot of used needles so be careful

GreatlLog books a little damp.

Tftc

Humid, no breeze and 31C. Can't sleep, so may as well do a spot of night caching. Quite easy to find when we weren't making things hard for ourselves!

Just like previous cachers we were about to head for home when I spotted something familiar. Bingo. Another geofamily find.

Visited GZ this am and found our cache still well hidden there - please just widen your search if you do not find it at once and we could not find and sign of needles. Grass is longer now due to rain so be careful on the hot days as snakes maybe around??

Careful of the needles

Due to the previous log we will go and get rid of the needles tomorrow and see if the cache is still there - we have found that this cache has suffered from cache creep before but we have never found any needles in the vicinity before.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

Out for the Gisbourne market on a bright but very windy day. After wandering around for a while and having something to eat we had had enough so decided to find a local cache before we left. We started looking on the wrong side of the fence initially before figuring out it was unlikely to be on that side. Once we crossed over we spotted something that didn't quite blend in with the surroundings and sure enough it was the cleverly hidden cache. Thanks for the cache.

Found it

Lovly area. Be careful of ants

Gps was of cammo is brilliant and you don't have to be a mountain goat this one rocked

TB visit and brought geohubby here to get the smiley, but sadly he didn't find this one.

Pure luck with looking at something that was a bit out of place. Great camo TFTC

Awesome thank you x

Trying to get the souvenir for this weekend , a cache with more than ten favs. With R, C and B . Haha - a quick check of the rating had me thinking !! Plan B was then put in place as we realised where it probably wasn't . Having made that decision the cache was quickly in hand . A very nifty hide I must say , well done and TFTC . We couldn't believe all the new houses in this area . Have driven passed many a time but have never been in this area before , thanks for showing us .

I was getting frustrated by this one and was about to go home with Geo husband when i literally stumbled across it! Hahaha. Geo husband couldn't stop laughing. Clever hide. Tftc.

FOUND IT WITH MY BF NISH!
Hint: you don't have to go as far as you think

CO check on the cache and lid ok. We found that our cache had suffered from cache creep and we moved it back to nearer where it should be but please widen your search if you do no find it straight away!

It was time for us to make our way back home after a few days away. This was our last find on the way home today. I was on the wrong side to start with then noticed something not quite right and bingo. A new cache hide setup. The container and lid don't go together well but still ok. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for this trad cache, Julie & GGs** [^]
**A favourite from me**
**Cache container and log good**
**Took Nothing, Left Signature**

Very creative hide. Thanks for the effort.

TFTC. Signed and returned.
As I approached the spot I was working out where I was not going to go.
Lucky I did not have to go there. worked out the right way to go.
Quickly found the treasure.

Out caching with Jacko83, no worries and Bentley.
Once we found the possible location, Jacko83 was able to make a quick find.

Thanks for the Cache Julie&GGs

Out and about with Ausfox!, n0worries and Bentley for day of caching around the Macedon Gisborne area.

As a born and bred Gisborne boy, this place I remember being a paddock!

A very clever last cache for the day.

cheers and tftc

We were visiting Gisborne for the week and managed to find a little time to take our grand daughter Cucumber Kid out to a few caches here...

found this cache in good order, but the location we parked the geomobile was a mass of ants.....

thanks to julie&GGs for this cache

came up to Gisborne today with vacachin to grab a few caches... there were lots of ants where we parked,really liked the cache camo

thanks to julie&GGs for this cache


took nothing left nothing signed log

We are keen geocachers on holiday from New Zealand, enjoying our stay and grabbing a few smileys as we pass. Glad we didn't see the part about the snakes until afterwards. A bit of head scratching until we looked at a different angle and realised what we were seeing, then it was easier. Great camo, earns a fav from us. Cache all good. TFTC

After a boulder moved under me and almost tumbled me down the rock pile, I declared a DNF.

4:52:00 PM. On our way back to Ballarat and picking up some caches on the way. After completing the other cache we decided to try our luck with this one. Walked to GZ and saw something straight away which was the cache. Log signed and returned. Hope this cache lasts as we felt eyes on us from across the way and felt exposed. Thanks Julie&GGs for placing this cache.

Roadtripping to the 2016 Victorian Cache Awards with jtnsilo, we nabbed this one on our way home. After a few discussions as to which side of the fence and what elevation, we spread out and after a quick wander, I spotted a likely culprit. Success! Our 3rd of this type today, all very well done. TFTC Julie&GGs

on our way home from the Victorian Cache Awards with becc85, After a few discussions as to the likely place becca85 had the cache TFTC Julie&GGs

This was a daunting cache to try and find as I nearly slopped down the hill a few times on the unstable rocks. However after about 5 minutes of searching we came across the very well disguised cache. Kudos to the hider for the work that has gone into this one.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Julie&GGs for this cache here today. Probably the best cache find of the day.

Great location

Nice little walk to find and sign this one.

Great spot, TFTC

Croak! Croak! Tftc (signed log as kptwit68)

Made a special 15000k trip to Australia to do this one, because of the CO's reputation for hides. T4TC hide. This is the best hide I have seen since Jesus was a boy. Your warning of the snakes did not deter me one bit.

Wow, this one was great! We looked here and and we looked there and then we thought surely not!
And yes, that was it! A fav from us. TFTC Julie&GGs xxxx

Great hide thanks

A nice spot and hide. TFTC

Having meandered around the roads in this estate, I parked close to GZ A guess as to which side of the fence to seek the cache proved correct. Log soon signed and all returned as before TFTC Julie&GGs

Found quick on a hot day nice

Second find today thanks tn ln

Out for a drive to visit a friend, this was a quick find as I have seen this type before. A lovely spot off the main road. Thanks Julie&GGs

good hide, made our geocaching day !

This was a bit trickier for my no longer muggle friend. But which side of the fence? Bit worried about snakes on the correct side...as much as I like them I didn't particularly want to encounter one here! Soon noticed what was out of place & the log was signed. TNLN. TFTC

Excellent. Enjoyed listening to the frogs and birds. TFTC.

Searched the area - couldn't locate cache

Nice camo, but you can't fool me with these any more!
Found it wandering around in Victoria on my way home from Melbourne.

Haha!! If anyone that knew this cache was watching, they'd have found my strategy pretty funny! Wasn't as had as I had expected!! Tftc!

Great camoflage!!

Not the easiest to get to with an ankle still recovering from a sprain a couple of weeks ago but great camo . TFTC.

Travelling around Australia and we are currently staying in Woodend.

So many jobs to tackle whilst here, finally it was lunch time but we had our stuff together to head on to Gisborne to find a few caches.

What a great afternoon some awesome spots and some great caches to boot.

Home after dark but that's what it's all about.

TFTC Julie&GGs

Good to see this one back up and running!! Brilliant! TFTC

Found it with the Blissful Pirate! TFTC

Please note that this cache was maintained on 27/6/15 and the co-ords were updated then. It has been found by 4 geocachers since then.

Found it! Either the GPS on my phone is out or the cache has been moved! Left in location it was found. Love the camo! TFTC

Great hiding spot!

Found and replaced, nice hide! Tftc.

Thank you - it will be much appreciated.

Please be watchful of the houses nearby and muggles that could be observing you finding this cache as the last cache hidden in this area was muggled! Thank you!

Looks like cache has been muggled. Will replace it nearby the original GZ in the next 2-3 days and update the co-ords.

Found but was missing the container I'm afraid!

I believe we found it but we only found the lid and a pen. Good hide but only half the container was there with no log.

Good camouflage!!

Found at 2am.

TFTC!

TFTC. Didn't take anything but left a small trinket.

Nice easy cache to find, on a great Autumns day!! TFTC.

Looks suspicous

Found it

After attending intervening days and with Mr80 deciding he should check out a work problem in Gisborne and with The xambo4u's and Ian and Penny following we headed this way. Mr80 spotted this well crafted cache quickly and we all signed the log and agreed a favourite should be given for something a little different and extra effort. TFTC

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Julie&GGs. We found your cache "Another Mulbarton Meander" at 3:19:00 PM today,. This cache makes our find count 10130.
[Blue]
We are attempting to log at least one cache every day, so we can add to our streak of "Most Consecutive Days Cached", which we started on New Years Day 2014. Our route today took us to, and past, some really scenic locations.

We found this cache in the company of 80 Degrees and Xambo4U after attending the "Intervening Days" Event in Melton.

We awarded this cache a favourite point for its novel construction. Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. For over ten years we have watched the quality of caches get steadily worse and worse. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this special cache.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape, but the listed trackable "High In The Sky - Klomp Links - Huis ter Horst (Vlag 1)" (TB4DHW0) is not in the cache, could Julie&GGs (or the Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so it can be removed from the cache inventory. This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page).
Took: Nothing.
Left: Toy Car.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Found will log later

TFTC. Not where we thought it may be. Geo-ouched myself on spiky plant

Geothat was a geosneaky geospot,

Easy find, my tenth overall. Tftc!

Super sneaky!

Tftc

Once you see it you'll know. Tftc! !

Interesting cache container! Thanks for the hide, log only.

(Could someone please bring a pencil sharpener as the log pencil was broken.)

TFTC! Muggle friend found it for me

We found this cache today at 3:25pm as number 8 of 18 on our Gisbourne to Castlemaine trip. "A" walked from the last cache to this one whilst we drove and although we got there first, he arrived and found the cache in the first place that he checked. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.

Very cool. Took some younger eyes than mine to find it

Very good hide, was abit difficult until I tripped over it

On our way home after the formalities of Fathers Day in Bendigo, this cache gave us the opportunity to pause and avoid having to drive directly into the setting sun. A local cat sat and supervised our activity at GZ today.

Tooo nice a day to be inside so what else to do in the sunshine but enjoy finding a few semi local caches that I needed to clean up.

A short walk to GZ. Amazing how Gisborne has grown and is spreading out further. Searched for a bit before the ah ha moment. A nice bit of craftsmanship. A fave from me.

As I had a few days off, I decided to head to the event in Wodonga today and grabbed this on the way. Took a little time for the GPS to settle but once it did, this was a great little find. Cleverly done and blends in so well to it's surrounds. Thanks Julie&GGs for placing this one in this well kept area of town

We were able to park within a couple of metres of GZ. Accurate coordinates led to the quick finding of a very well constructed cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for an excellent cache Julie&GGs - it earns a favourite from us.

Great hide. We loved the idea for this one. Gave it a fav. TFTC. Loved some of the nice homes in this area.
