Crocodile Lake, Pat was drunk & fell in the lake Lara, Victoria, Australia
By Na'wal on 14-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4WYP4

Time to let this series go

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

I have messaged the CO with the situation, the cache container is damaged and needs CO intervention.

Caching buddies: Muggle Anshi

Thank you Na'wal, for creating, placing and maintaining this cache. I have enjoyed finding it and visiting this spot.

Cache needs maintenance, I've sent a note to CO.

Found but was broken

Found today but it’s been muggled or something.
Found the broken container on the ground a few meters from the tree and popped it on the trunk of the tree, but it’s due to be replaced.

**14 Dec. 2019 4:38 pm**
In and around Geelong today for the annual Christmas events and CITOs.
Looking at the hint, the situation here, and an earlier log, it all adds up to needing an owner check I think.

**Thanks for the fun Na'wal**

Found remains

Quick find

Easy find. Tftc.

Nearly at the end of Pat's story now. Another cute hide, only took a few minutes to find in spite of the bright sun in the way. All in good condition, TFTC

Great find

With nothing important to be done today, I decided to come out for a stroll and to find the caches scattered around this lake. A lovely place for a walk or a ride. I really enjoyed my walk here in an area of Lara I would not otherwise have visited.
Thanks

This story made for great entertainment as OzHockeyChick, beckNmonts and Geoturtle37 and I walked around the "just" lake. There was some water, but certainly not a lot. We took the pleasant stroll and were lucky enough to pick up all the caches as well as a couple on the side streets. There were a few muggles around but they had no interest in what we were up to.

Had a bit of time to kill before high tide at Hovells Creek, so Papi4506, Geoturtle37, beckNmonts and I took the opportunity to take a lovely stroll around the lake. Thanks for the entertaining story, Na'wal

Today, we were plagued with bad luck between high tides. So we decided that this series would be a good one. How much bad luck could we have hinting crocodiles? Thanks so much for placing this series Na'wal, very entertaining!

Walking the lake here today.

A little warm but need to clear out some smileys.

This was another that stood out nicely for me.

I signed the log and moved on.

TFTC Na'wal and your continued maintenance. Lake is looking a little dry at this time of year. Good for us to be on familiar ground again. A short search, and multiple approach angles soon had us on to the right spot. Nana spook had her eyes on the prize. TNLN

Cache Replaced

I found this one in the second place I looked. However the cache is broken and was about to fall from the tree. I have messaged the owner. Hopefully can be repaired - a nice hide! I put the cache and log in a hole in the tree to protect it from blowing away (as the container was open and the log would have blown away)

In the area for the Christmas events, so taking the opportunity with omegaman1971 to do some of the local hides inbetween. As all the events were in different areas, it gave a variety of finds by different owners. We only had a few DNF's and made some good discoveries and clever hides during the day. While we met a few other teams along the way, we had some fun and laughs along the way.

Another great little hide in this great little series.

Thanks Na'wal for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Down and about in Geelong for the weekend, attending a few events and putting some smiles on the map with Happy Feet1.
It looks like Geelong is in full Christmas mode!
Cheers for the cache.

Awesome find!! We thought we were smart and knew where it was but tricked us!!! Great hide!!!!

Great day out caching with the kids

Found TFTC

Quick cache after a visit in Lara

Another great hide in the series. Tftc

Cache replaced

A new cache is on its way soon. Making a new container

Cache owner. Please note previous log.
No zip lock bag or log to be found. A few branches down on this tree also.
Cheers

Will get out to replace soon

Arrived at GZ and found log out on the ground and about 1/2 metre away found a lid. Couldn't find container. Signed log (log is now full) placed log and lid in a plastic zip lock bag. It is now at ground level. Needs maintenance.

A couple of Cape Barren geese were sheltering in the shade of a tree and grudgingly moved away from me as I went by. Continued to GZ for a quick find TFTC Na'wal

Success at last thanks to finding the cache container on the ground under the tree!! Managed to find a spot to sign logbook but it is now full! Made sure we placed it where it was meant to be, as it appeared to be obvious, with some natural material covering it! So pleased to get one out of three - we have enjoyed visiting the areas where the caches were hidden and saw plenty of birds including 3 cape barren geese enjoying the area too!
TFTC Na'wal and bringing us here to see this lovely lake and parklands.

Cool

The hint is for giants im sure lol.... my waist is super low being in a wheelchair. log almost full as in 1 spot left

I was a bit lucky here with this one as it had blown out of its perch and the lid was off and the logsheet was out but all was dry and I put it all back together and where it should be according to the hint.
Cheers

Found nice hide tftc

Yay love a find on Good Friday

Quick find log almost full

Found on a walk around the wetlands.

Nephew found it on his first caching adventure !

I was here in the rainy dark after attending the nearby event – thankfully being in the company of previous finders helped with a quick find. TFTC!

Found it....In fading light with increasingly soggier boots. Still smiling TFTC

We assume the croc got pat as we did not see him for the reat of the trip. Thankfully all his caches were in place.

I set out today to try and achieve 100 caches in a day. This was find #8. It's cold, it's wet, but we're pressing on. Thanks heaps, Na'wal!

Unfortunately local kids came over and grabbed it in front of us even though we had diverted from looking and pretended to be looking at the stink bugs.

TFTC

Bit trickier than the others, had to move the residents out of the way... Tftk

Tftc

A different hide had me searching a bit longer however after having no luck I changed my approach and spotted the little container TFTC

Decided to spend a lazy Easter Sunday, caching with posho6 and Arkbell80. We brought the kids over to Lara for a walk around a couple of the lakes. Sixth find for the day.
Thanks Na'wal for the cache!!!

Easter caching with Bazinga01 and Posho6 in Lara. This little one had us going round and round in circles. We nearly had to ask the wife's to help us. Then Bazinga came up with the goods. TFTC

Came out caching with the family, Bazinga01 and Arkbell80 to get some Easter Caches.
TFTC

This took me a bit to find. It's funny the easy ones I find hard and the hard ones not to hard. TFTC.

Easy find on a drizzly day. Nice spot for a walk! Thanks for the cache

Easy one.

Finace found first again!!! TFTC

Out to do this series today. A nice lovely walk around a very beautiful lake. A place I had never been before. A lovely walk was accompanied by a lovely story. Thanks na'wal for the effort involved.

Another nice quick easy find on this walk and another piece in the story.

Log signed and replaced.

TFTC TNLN.

Quick find!!

Out for some afternoon caching with Erinrobnick while they are in geelong on a holiday. I have stopped to to this walking series twice before and both times it started raining as we were approaching in the car or as we came to the first point. Today it started spitting as we were on the way but we were determined - luckily the rain dissapeared as quick as it came. A great series around a beautiful part of lara. Thank you Na'wal.

Found by lauren & daniel on an evening walk. TFTC

Found by Daniel and Lauren whilst on a stroll around the lake TFTC

Went for a bike ride around Lara wasn't to easy wasn't to hard, tftc.

In Lara today for an appointment so I decided to go for a walk around this lovely lake/wetlands area before heading home. Another quick find. Yah. I felt redeemed as a cacher again! Lol. Thanks

Found with Saint Cache. Easy find. Suns out which makes it a perfect location TFTC

[green]Find #421 Traditional #349[/green]

Out today trying to get this series plus a few extras with Bici78. I had 7 finds, no DNFs, and some really cool caches were found. Thanks Na'wal for putting together this fun series. There were a few laughs, some nice hides and some smiles. Good job with the entire series.

This was our second find of the day. Took a quick search before the cache was found. I like this extra small container. TFTC Na'wal, thanks for this cache and the series. TN LN SL.

We were amazed as we walked around this area how many birds came up to investigate. The fluffy gosling was particularly cute. The cache was a little exposed here as there didn't seem to be much camo around to hide it. TFTC

Well I hope Pat didn't drown but I'm sure the geese would have saved him if necessary!
Thanks for the cache Na'wal

TFTC

Enjoying the walk and little ditty. TFTC Na'wal.

We barely noticed the overcast and cold weather as we continued our fun exploring of this series. Our second stop on our circuit walk around the lake- littlies now racing to see who could find the great hides first. Super little containers- v much admired- clever recycling. GeoBen just beat GeoDan to this one. SL. TFTC. Thanks Na'wal.

Trekking with SmashedSpud and found it! TFTC!!

Great park for a long walk toward the cache.
Thanks Na'wal

Getting close to the end of poor Pat

Quite an easy find with spot on co-ords. Thanks to Na'wal for the hunt and the series.

Lovely stroll around the lake with streetteam1 TFTC

Find #460! Still strolling around this little swamp/lake chatting away. A few people out riding their bikes and walking their dogs. Picked this one up quickly again. I can't believe some of the colorful birds around! Thanks for the cache

Found at 11.10am, very quiet today with few walkers out in the cool condition
Thanks
K&M

Really good series. Thanks!
