This needs major repair, hopefully one day I'll re-release this cache. Thanks to all that found it, I hope everyone enjoyed it

Nice easy find on the way home from Lara with my daughter. Spectacular views of the You Yangs!!
TFTC

We found this cache but unfortunately it’s broken with only 1 straw and ball. There is no logbook. Hoping it can be fixed. Thanks for bringing us here.

With only one straw remaining this cache is well and truly ka-plunked. Love the idea though, it would be really fun with all the straws. Slug cache guardians are quite happy here. TFTC

Interesting container, left some goodies.

This would have been a fun game but it is well and truly ka-plunked now I think. Great idea for a cache!

Tftc. Found with Ashton 96. Great cache but a few straws are missing.

tftc! only one straw there :/

Down this way today with Sean.75 and kenbryl doing a recon mission for a fishing spot. We took the opportunity to find some caches along the way. I'm Chief Navigator today so we detoured slightly and made our way to this one. tftc

Out this way with kenare and kenbryl for the day after being stuck at home. I think this would have been a great cache back in it`s day, but sadly time has taken it`s toll on the container. Tftc

Sean.75, kenare and I headed down this way for the day. Our plan was to check out a few fishing spots and find some caches along the way. We had a great day. tftc

Sadly the game is dead but the log clean and dry and signed - TFTC

Very easy find, despite GPS showing 11 metres away. Tftc

I feel as if this cache is missing some bits. It's a shame because i can see how this would of been a great cache idea. TFTC

Found it with Sunsong1 on a cool Sunday summer day. TFTC

Clever idea. Found and replaced as found however seemed a bit exposed. TFTC

Unfortunately a fair bit disheveled. Looked / sounded like it had been an interesting cache/ game back in it's earlier days. Signed log. Thanks!

Found but the base is almost broken now.

Found. The log came straight out. No sticks in it. I've never played it before. Only found 3 sticks. Tried to make it right for the next cacher.log is all good.

Found with georocks101. There seem to be quite a few unique caches around Lara. This was a creative construction but beware of the 8 legged guardian. There is a very nice view of the You Yangs here too. Thanks Na'wal

Found with JelenaGreenleaf. Massive huntsman inside! Nice views of the You Yangs from here. Tftc

The game was fun. But the big fat spider in there says nooo ka plunk for youuu!!. Signed the log all looks to be in good working order.

**Find #3135**

This was certainly well worth the visit. If you go to the trouble of making a cache that's different and interesting and just plain fun, you will always get a favorite point from me, it's 98th Fav Point. I do remember the game, and it was fun to play.

Thanks **Na'Wal**

TFTC.

Cool cool

we had just gotten of the plane and were grabbing a few caches in the area. This one looked fun. it was a quick find have a laugh and sign before moving on. Thanks for the cache Na'wal tnln replaced as found sl . def fav point for the fun

Pretty easy find.....but a really cool cache.
Thanks.

Nice one!

What a fantastic cache. Love it when people go above and beyond for everyone’s enjoyment. Thanks so much na’wal for the fun and the cache. Fav point from me

Log replaced

Novel idea for a cache , managed to fit my name on the full log

TFTC

The best ever
New log book needed.

This should be a Dirtbag cache if doing in wet weather

Ok, so this was awesome - very puddly getting to GZ but how cool a construction this is. tftc - another fav point & well done Na'wal. tftc

Fantastic cache, enjoyable find. TFTC

Thank you Na’wal. Love your concept of this cache... brings back childhood memories. Definitely keeping an eye out for your hides ️

Found on Thursday 30 May 2019 at 07:30:19

Was grabbing a new cache nearby en route to the office and decided to carry on with a couple of others nearby as im chasing large finds at the moment. Well designed cache, initially I thought one piece was missing but spotted it nearby on the ground and slid it back in place once I had finished. A bit of a workout for my fingers in the cold today!

Thanks Na'wal for placing this Large Traditional - this is find 1126 for BFMC

What a cool cache. A bit of working to get my prize. TFTC. A favourite point for this one.

What fun! Thanks for the great cache. Very much enjoyed. Returned as found after log was signed. Very unique cache. A fav fm us.

An afternoon caching in the You Yangs was thwarted by a locked gate. We stopped to cook some lunch and admire the views and the headed out caching.
This was first on the list and we were all very impressed!
Added another favorite point for the concept, construction and fun.
Took nothing; left nothing.
Thanks for the cache Na'wal.

Out for a drive and a few caches with n0w0rries this afternoon. After a lovely lunch up at the Avalon views picnic ground on the side of Flinders Peak, we headed out for some high fav caches.
This was our fist stop and what a beauty it is. The game was played and I soon had the log in hand.
Signed and replaced. Took the traveller from under the base.
Thanks for a great cache Na'wal.

Had to stop to have a look at this cache, and was able to make the quick find in the blistering heat. What a special cache, in a very picturesque location with the You Yangs right behind us. TFTC

Just waiting for my Muggle Fisher Hubbys Flight to come in from Sydney but it was delayed so perfect opportunity to find some Caches. Nice easy find took longer to get to the log book than actually find the cache but what a fun cache. Watch out for the prickles though. Dropped a trackable in the base. TFTC

You put so much effort into your caches! Yet another fantastic one out this way. Enjoyed playing the game. I had never heard of this game before. Tftc

Had a nice play and came up with the goods.
A lot of effort has gone on here!
We can certainly remember this game.
TFTC

thanks for a very interesting cache----best one i have seen

Quick find after the lunch event and before the dinner event. The cache is now in the open as there has been some serious clearing and I think the bush might actually be dead.... TFTC Na'wal

An easy find between the Christmas meets!

Although the the cache guardian (the really freaking huge cache guardian) within the game was most displeased when we returned the balls and the cache to their position...

Quick easy find after the christmas meet. We had fun doing this little puzzle. I don't think the big cache guardian thought it was fun.. oh well poor thing. Bush has been trimed and cache is out in the open now.
Thanks for the cache Na'wal
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

'Twas too great an afternoon Not to take the long way home. Had hoped to attack three large containers out in the area but my chosen mode of transport [(motorised two wheels)](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=5740675) precluded any serious attempt on the first two. In the end, and after some afternoon tea nearby, this one was selected to do before heading home.

On intial sighting of the hide I thought I had yet again chosen the wrong cache to attempt. On closer inspection of the cache type and description I was soon reassured I was properly equipped for this one. Soon enough I was signing the log and on my way.

What an awesome cache absolutely loved this much fun!! Found this on our travels back home after a weekend in Anglesea/Torquay TFTC

Out for a drive in the Brisbane Ranges, we followed the trail from Bacchus Marsh to find some large caches towards a challenge. It started off being easy, but as we progressed the road became tricky, still we persevered.
This was an extra one on the way home.
What fun to play. Great construction. A favourite point. Thanks Na’wal

This cache was good fun! We both enjoyed it.
I'm not sure what camo the description is talking about though.
Thanks, Na'wal, this was fun to do.

This is the best cache I have ever found

Even bigger than expected. Great for kid and big kids alike

Quick find seemingly in the middle of nowhere and then an enjoyable game to locate the prize. Tftf

Awesome status of marble pole
Ash and mark was here. Happy Easter

This has always been a cool game and well done Na'wal for the effort to make this.
Wasn't long and we had the game solved and replaced for the next geocacher.

I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but spotted the cache as I drove up. Thinking that it would be easy I was in for a surprise and a really fun one at that. Definitely worth a favourite point for an excellent cache. Thanks Na’wal

Well we headed from Melbourne with a plan to do some Geelong region caching. We had made an offline list of the Geelong area and Mrs P was consulting the list on the way down and this had one of the highest fave points in the area and with an interesting name - so we had to get off the highway and check it out!

We were certainly not disappointed. The kids and adults really enjoyed this one.

Great construction with a very fun theme! These types of caches keep us in the game! Just awesome, and of course a fav point from us five.

Thanks for keeping it fun Na'wal!

While picking up the question mark puzzles grabbed a bunch of the nearby traditionals. Loved this build. Fantastic. TFTC

Having solves a bunch of puzzles in this area last winter, and then seeing that one series might get archived, we (Trailstevo and I) headed across town tonight to make some finds. Hopefully someone local will pick up the series that might be archives, unfortunately I like to far to be able to consider maintain them. An amazing array of puzzles which have really helped me learn more about solving them, and this puts me a big step closer to 500 puzzle caches found (total) which I want to achieve by the end of this year. Between the puzzles we collected a few driveby traditional, some really great ones of those too, and feared we may get a visit from the prison warden whilst we lingered around not too far away. All was good. Thanks for the fun evening, Na’wal, TR!, WESPRO, Llangollen, Darth Briji, Sims family, suss vulture and big effort form all of you, looking forward to getting back to Lara for some more. TFTC A great cache idea, well done

Find 1466
Found with Shogun and bentsinister. Loved the theme and the cache construction.
We had fun getting to the log. The log was signed and back in order again.
Thanks for setting this one up.

Picked this beauty up after completing a nearby puzzle series. BRILLIANT IDEA. Such a fun hide- well executed - Team T.S.B had a ball
Shall recommend

Played a solo game here and I won! I like interesting caches and that's what this is. Thanks for the effort Na'wal

Found it! Thanks for taking the time to make this - amazing! Watch out for snakes in the grass this time of year friends!

13:37, 29 Oct 2017, # 405, Out with OzHockeyChick today finding a few caches in the area.

A glorious day caching out west with BoatieTim.
Oh wow! Great work. Loved this cache. A fav point for sure!
Thankyou Na'wal for placing this cache here for us to find.

I had wanted to tackle the nearby Zoo series for a while primarily because I thought it would be a great excuse for a very long walk whilst trying for twenty-five caches in a day. The fact that a letterbox and a large cache had popped up in close proximity to the series transformed the want into a concrete plan of action.
Althogh I had never played Ka-plunk as a child I had seen the ads and was familiar with the concept. This cache didn't disappoint. Well conceived and an appreciated repurposing of what I think is a bit of old sporting equipment pushed the table top concept into the great outdoors.
Although the cache was sitting on top, after playing the game i.e. letting out the filler to gain access to the container I made sure to make it a little more challenging for the next finder. Oh, as with all caches placed in or near natural camo, cacher love has made sure that thorns are no longer a problem

Nice cache but the last person didnt put the log out of reach . Tftc

its long walk and lucky perfect day and its heaps mosquites....with whitepaws9

Thanks ftc

Thanks tftc great setup and great views of you yangs

Haha! Kerplunk indeed. Cache container in good shape but the log was a little damp. TFTC.

After a day finding some awesome caches RoadRunna said i should end the day with this one. wow what a fantastic cache very clever. I had fun doing this one. Tftc.

In the area finishing off a mystery series and noticed a few caches around Lara
With the amount for favourites for this cache how could I not stop
Spent a bit of time playing the game, putting the log back and playing again
Thanks Na'wal for the fun Cache

**1500 finds !!!! **

I had been saving this cache up for this milestone as it looked and sounded cool....and i wasn't disappointed!

We ventured out here this morning for the sole purpose of celebrating my 1500th find. A really interesting cache and a nice play on the original game. It was so simply built but awesomely executed!

It's taken a while to get to 1500....with a wife that's not too interested, work and now a little one. But I do enjoy getting out when i can. Geocaching has taken us to some pretty great places in our travels. It kept us busy on our move from sydney to darwin, then darwin to melbourne, and helped us explore large parts of victoria.

This was a fantastic cache that i really enjoyed. Thanks Nawal for your effort here and great idea, and for letting celebrate this milestone with your cache. Well deserved fav point and TFTC!

Out for the day in Lara.
The weather was not as bad as predicted so we spent the arvo driving the back roads of the area.
Thanks for the cache hide here it was quite easy as the log was right at the top.
Had a play and it is now back to the middle!

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14.
I had a great day out around Lara.
No rain and some fun caches.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
Fun Winters afternoon drive to Lara.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Rated: for Overall Experience

We came to Geelong to do the AB4C series, finding half on the Sunday arvo. After checking out of the CP on Monday we found a few close by before continuing on the AB4C series. After finishing that series we spent the afternoon in Torquay/Jan Juc and then headed back to Geelong and then home finding a last few caches on the way home. This was next on our list, being a highly favourited cache in the area. Haha, what a great cache!! Loved it!!! Log book retrieved and logged - fave point to add to the tally!

Quick and easy find after a small detour.

What a fantastic idea. Some childhood memories were relived getting hold of the logbook here

Cache is in good condition and logbook is guarded by a spider.

TFTC

Who doesn't love a good game of Ker-Plunk? A classic childhood fave. Can't say I've ever seen a version of this scale though haha. Tres cool! TFTC

Melbourne day 2
This morning we left the city behind us & headed out into the country side to find a series of puzzle .
This was a nice stop along the road, we enjoyed doing this field puzzle.
Log book was full so have replaced it.
Favourite point given
Thanks for placing this cache Na'wal

A very large spider lives in here. Tftc

Did this one today and certainly appreciated the time and effort put into making this a great cache in a pretty isolated area tftc.

Thanks Na-Wal

Found with Thomo31. TFTC

Found with teamashy. This was a fun cache. teamashy had already started it by the time I got there. There were bits lying around. Laughing we signed the log and teamashy reassembled it. Thanks for the cache.

Attending the event and cleaning up some caches in the area with Happy pants, omegaman971 and Yoshi Warriors. Signed logs as DRAG Team and another great cache worthy of a fav.
Thanks Na'wal for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Found while out and about in the area grabbing a few smilies, this one was soon found and then we used some team work to sign the log, nice work Na'wal, thanks for the fun hide. Worth a fave for the giggles!

In Geelong for the Christmas Events and some caching with Happy pants, Happy Feet 1 & Omegaman1971. We signed logs as DRAG Team.
This cache is something different. Well done on the work you've put into it. Thanks Na'wal, a fav coming your way.

omegaman1971
In the area for some Christmas Spirit and caching fun.
with Happy pants,Happy Feet and Yoshi Warriors (Team DRAG) Really enjoyed this cache, some nice engineering.
Cheers for the cache

Wow - what a totally cool cache - the kids and I loved it! We picked it up on the way home from the nearby event in the You Yangs. Adding another worthy fav here! Many thanks

A nice easy one. Another fun idea from Na'wal! Thanks for a unique cache!

Nice one. Played with bkj97. I reckon I won this round. T4TCSL

This is a third manipulative cache in the area which was a great way to round out our mega visit before returning to NZ after attending the mega. Today's paltry cache count more than made up in quality rather than quantity. Favourite added. TFTCSL

I'm over from New Zealand for 4 days to do some geocaching and to attend the Surf Coast Mega Event in Anglesea. On my 2nd day I met up with yorkshirekiwi83 in Melbourne and we headed down to Anglesea together. We stopped for this cache while in the area and soon released the container from this unique hide! TFTC - favourite point added!

We made a detour en route to the YouYangs to try our hand at this one and came out winners.
Thanks
