Ahhhrrrgggh !!
No wonder I couldn't find this cache today Razz
I suspected it had gone, because there was just nowhere to hide an Eclipse tin on this thing where I would not find it [:o]

I'm not surprised to see the [red]archived[/red] notification !!

Ah well !!

The bridge is a very interesting structure though [^]
Only an engineer could have dreamed it up Razz

Oh well, maybe next time. Had a hard time with devices jumping all over the place. We searched for quite a while but realised we were wasting the afternoon.It was the mozzies that did me in on this one. Nearly drained me dry and HUGE! Bring Repellent lol

We wasted time on this on, too many mosquitos. We will be back.
 
Found with aussie fun seakers after a cup of coffee in park before heading home.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Was geocaching with rusty0316 today. We found a total of 11 during the drive and saw some pretty sights in the bush near Wedderburn, and rusty0316 had a look at some old machinery. I am going to award a couple of favourites for a couple of caches we found today. Sneaky, well hidden caches from devious minds, no doubt.

Persistent rusty found this one.

The adjacent sheds contain interesting historical stuff. You will have to pick your time to see the Engine Shed and the Shearing Shed open

Gotcha! Perfect Spring day in the Engine Park after rain yesterday. Thanks Old Blokes.

Our second find.... Keep those eyes peeled Smile
 
12-Sep-14
People getting ready for a show here, possibly on the weekend, meant that a search was not possible in muggle city at this spot today.
 
05-Sep-14
I'm afraid this one beat us today!
 
28-Aug-14
It took a few minues of systemmatic searching before we located this very well hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for another excellent cache the old blokes,

Tftc tricky again well that's how we made it should have been simple really we'll done
 
01-Jun-14
We had a fantastic weekend attending the Wedderburn events finding all the new and old caches with there terrific hides.
Thanks the old blokes for all you effort,
Regards The Coffee's.

Out in the area caching today, as usual had a great day and enjoyed the hunt. The find gave a sense of satisfaction and achievement. Many thanks the old blokes for placing this cache.
 
01-Jun-14
After a pleasant day in Wedderburn yesterday we decided to do a few more cache here before heading home with Micaparamedic and The Coffees.
It was drizzling rain now and even with four sets of eyes we couldn't find the container. We used the PAF option and even then it took us quite awhile before we were adding our names to the log.
Thanks for the cache the old blokes.

This one took Sully1 and I a lot longer than it should have. My fault as I brushed over the hiding place and of course checked all the wrong places after that before trying again.
Another simple but effective hide in this 'graveyard' of sorts

After a long winded search by both of us this morning, Bogonghazy finally called the magic words "got it". We signed the log, returned the cache and headed back to the dryness and warmth of the car. Great to see these old relics still highlighted in many country towns across the Nation. Thanks to the old blokes.

Found while out caching with Fergzter while attending the Wedderburn events. After not finding this cache in the morning we came but for another look. After a bit of a search we found the cache . Now we just have to figure out how we missed it the first time. TFTC.

Find No. 638. Found with FUF009 at 2.33pm

At this location there were a lot of tracks that didn't lead us to the cache, so we decided to start again and think where it would be. After searching all over, up and under, we finally located this nifty hide.

Tahnicia and I got out of the car to search for this one and after a while we called on Paul to come and help us. Not long after it was Tahnicia who made the tricky find. TFTC the old blokes.

The bag is looking a bit tattered and the log book is a bit of a bugger to get out, but tweezers to the rescue and the log book was signed.

I wonder just how many people have clambered over, under and around this area this weekend. On this occasion it was wozzle68 who was the hero, another cache cleverly concealed. Thanks very much, the variety continues!
 
31-May-14
This took a while to find even with plenty of help. Thanks
 
31-May-14
Found this cache while attending the wedderburn day out event 2014
Thanks the old blokes

Took a few minutes but we found it
Thanks for the cache Smile

Found by Mary & David at 1100. Arrived at GZ to find Crystal Princess from Finland already there. BillGosse and Tassydevil arrived shortly after. This one took a while, even with numerous eyes to help. A cunning little spot and we are all a little muddier now. A small technology failure when we replaced the cache, that we mentioned to the CO at the Event. Our thanks to the old blokes.
 
31-May-14
Searched with gadanga and Don't Panic Arthur while over for a quick trip to the Wedderburn events but despite giving the structure a good feel all over no cache was found. Didn't want to get jeans too dirty so decided to leave it and hope for a hint at the event tonight.
Thanks for the hunt the old blokes

1 week roadtrip in Victoria, Australia. It took some time to find this one but with many eyes we finally made it. Smile

TFTC and greetings from Finland!

Found this one today. I saw Strange Quark 1 leaving this cache as I arrived and he had found the cache. I looked in most of the obvious places but no cache. I was still puzzling over this cache when chooknchunk arrived. So with 6 eyes searching, a bit of caching knowledge shared, a bit of frustration shared chooknchunk came up with the goods! I have to admit that this was probably my lest favourite cache of the day Signed log and rehid it though we think this one may need maintenance and have advised the old blokes of this at the lunchtime event.

Thanks for the cache the old blokes.
 
31-May-14
Another one that had eluded us on the first visit, but found on the second visit. Again we had literally brushed over it the first time. Found with kmace. Enjoying the Wedderburn 2014 event.
 
31-May-14
This cache had us looking everywhere until Holzcotz came and found the cache TFTC
 
31-May-14
Unfortunately the cache had become dislodged and was hidden in the dirt. Need a little maintenance.
 
31-May-14
Found during our stay in Wedderburn for the Wedderburn Events with LionJRB.

Found on our second attempt as we failed earlier in the morning. After exchanging notes with some other geocachers at the lunch event we found that we were very close to finding it earlier in the day. On returning to this place we soon had the container in hand and were wondering how on earth we missed it earlier in the day.

Thanks to the old blokes for the hide.

Find #1576

Found with Mrs Tyred n Cranky

After searching around for a while we soon stood back to see where the geo trails were heading and with 2 defining tracks there was one that lead to the container.

Tricky one, took a bit of searching for. Unfortunately the book was jammed in and the plastic bag got destroyed Sad TFTC

With the Old Blokes putting on a bit of a show in Wedderburn today, this small town was the centre of the geocaching universe.

I dropped in for the BBQ before our game of hockey in Boort and decided to grab this little ripper beforehand.

All was quiet when I entered the Engine Park and I was able to grab the cache in peace and quiet.

As I was leaving the place became a hive of activities with fellow cachers appearing from what seemed to be the trees!

We came to Wedderburn for the 2 events and stayed a couple of nights to make the most of the weekend caching time.
We found your cache Engine Park: 2014 on 31/05/2014 4:29 pm. This is our find #3770 and find #25 today. The cache is in good shape.
Thanks the old blokes for the cache!

Found with The 2 Wanderers. First time using my iPhone to find a cache. Will need lots of practise I think! A good hide. TFTC

# 6321. Today is Robmc's birthday and we travel from Melbourne to Wedderburn for the Events tomorrow. We had a late start as he just come from a long night-shift. We arrive a little late to have any chance of FTF's on the new ones released this afternoon but manage a few around town before darkness falls at 5.30pm.

We were about sixth to sign a few of the newies today. Rob spotted this one and luckily it wasn't raining here as the lid wasn't closed at all. The contents have now been replaced carefully and the container well hidden for the rush tomorrow.

Thanks the old blokes

Another race to a cache but again in about the same position. Found with Misschieff18. Tricky little hide.

The start of our weekend in Wedderburn with BettyBoo3747. We arrived late in the afternoon, booked in, did our shopping, then collected a few caches around the big smoke.
We figured that this must be the other end of the paddock from the red tractor cache we did the last time we passed through Wedderburn (and we could see it in the distance). An interesting collection of machinery here. We were glad it wasn't on one of the larger ones.
Thanks, Robmc.
