Having an explore around the Spotswood are picking some geos along the way. Took a bit of a poke around to find this one. I'm surprised how concealed the container is.

TFTC:). Was not the container I was expecting but luckily for me have seen this before. It resulted in a quick and fun find.C.C

Hello from NZ. Our son (Cacheflow card)took us to his place of work and of course we looked to see if any caches were available. This one fit the bill.TFTC.

Wow very hard but finally found it

Need to look hard at distinctive features and what is not quite as it should be...then still needs some "probing" to find it. Great hide.

Found it

Wow! Great cache. We got it fairly quickly after reading a hint in the history.

Out for a cache hunt with my son but no luck with this one. We'll be back!

It has not been stolen, it is still in its hide.If you can't find it, does not mean it is not there.

No luck today

Is been stolen

I found this hard but my 7 year old son found it no problems

FINALLY FOUJD IT!! After 2 houres of hard searching and a little break I found it after putting my foot-hands and sticks underneath everything. Forgot my pen so took photo of log for proof. TFTC!

Yeah no shot mate. First DNF of the day

Finally found after second day of searching, should be upgraded to a higher difficulty

Day 2 found it super hard for us

Sad to put a DNF can someone tell me if its still there

Could not find despite searching for 30 minutes, think I might be blind

After 7 years we found it!!! Cannot believe now with more experience how silly we were to miss it lol. TFTC

Found it

Found it

Enjoyed this alot

Thanks! Found it on the second time we visited

I found it with someone who has played this game for a while and likes navigating them others. Great find

Excellent cache Rob by far the cleverest I have found yet. Almost an instantaneous find but only because I have seen a similar cache elsewhere. A very ingenious hide. Creative, tricky, and would simply never be caught by muggles. Devious!!

2nd time looking for this one! Lucky today!

That was a pretty tricky hide. Thank goodness for previous logs yftc

Great hide. Tftc.Found

Great hide! Stand back found it

Thanks for the tips! Found with my nephew!

Staying with my muggle sister in Williamstown and heading out for a few caches. After 37 found yesterday today will just be a few with the rainy condition. After feeling around the sculpture with no luck I stood back and took a good look and spotted the cache. Tftc.

Its easy

Found it Great hide

A clever, tricky hide! Good fun to search for Its not really in a container.

Grabbed this one while in town. Sl thanks for the cache.

Found with icw who braved the maelstrom to find the cache. Tftc and bringing us to this interesting sculpture.

Nice and easy, a great hide. also there. TFTC

great find! tyftc!!

Think low tyftc

Couldnt see.

TFTC! Clever hidden!

Sneaky hide. OCW @AlePotaBG

Good hide!

Lots of muggles enjoying the riverside path today, had to be quick. Fortunately some informative signs around to pretend to read while signing the log. Tftc

GeoBF and I got to grab this before the storm rolled in. A quick park-and-grab, we managed to find it easily. It didn't have a container as such. Log in good condition. TFTC

Fresh new log

Sneaky hide! Think low. You might need a stick!

removed duplicate container.new logbook in place.

Found it while out walking the dog. Didnt sign the log book because it was soaking wet and we also didnt have a pen

Couldnt find it my first time around but found it easily today. It was slightly out of position so that made it easy. Log book was water affected so couldnt sign it.

But it looks like it's damaged again, wet. Found what might have been it's container a few metres away.

Replaced the container and logbook as it was not where it should be.

Thanks, fairly easy geocache but amazing as it was my first time ever geocaching!

Bugs

Found it but the packet was damp and out in the open. Found a bit of metal away from packet with log in but werent sure if weve put it back in correct spot. Maintenance required TFTC

Found

H

Thank you!!

Earwigs have taken over, took us a while

Bit too hard without a hint

No luck even with a spoiler photo from previous logs - hope to return and spot it soon

I found this cache on my 25,000 step walk zig-zagging my way from Newport to Point Gellibrand. My first cache at the coast today. We had a brief search for this one earlier in the year but had to give up quickly as it was getting dark and we were needing to get to a nearby event. Today, I had all the time in the world and thought that I had run out of spots to try before spotting just one more possible place, which was indeed the hide. Thanks from D B-A

Clever hiding

Another tricky one by robmc. We did find it eventually using previous logs for hints. Think low. We eventually spotted out of the corner of our eye much like most other people. TFTC

sneaky

Yay

Left a little prize for the next cacher

This one took me too many times to find. Took the dog in the middle of the day, so I guess the different light helped.

Sneaky little hide. Looked over a few times before spotting the final hiding place. Up the Wahs and thanks for hide!

Looked over the whole structure 3 times before finally finding the cache. A long day caching in Williamstown coming to a close. Thanks for the find!

Came down to try the two in this area, although I thought I new what I was looking for I was nearly convinced it wasn't there,

Cache found all good
Thanks for bringing here
Tb red hog visited

We came here last time and we had no luck. After reading some last comments we went down low and sure enough it was there. Well done robmc. Found with premedbeast

Our 2nd attempt and still took us ages to find!

Sneaky hide, very clever.

Bit low for the old knees, but still good.

TFTC!

found with lozzie88

Great hide. Thank you

We’re here to do a spot of fishing ??- must be crazy, it’s freezing! The prospect of a nearby cache to find was enough to warm me up though. I must admit I walked back to check my rod and rethink this one after a failed first attempt. Hints in previous posts helped a lot with this cleverly hid cache- stand back and survey the whole scene- it jumped out at me when I did that. And consider it might not be the type of cache you’re expecting. There’s really only one place it can be. Definitely a rewarding find!
TFTC

This is a very cool sculpture and a sneaky hide too! SL at 12.27pm #9981 TFTC Robmc - one more nearby then time to head homewards.

Found with BlueYeti44 for my 60th find.

WOO HOO!!!

Found with Auzzie_Taz

TFTC, good little find

Nice hide. Tftc

Second attempt at this cache but I forgot pen. Will be back.
TFTC

Sneaky cache ??

Bit of a search with this one and then tried the only place it could be. Tftc

Found it when fishing.

After dropping a bus load of students off at the nearby science works found a parking spot for geo vehicle and grabbed a couple of caches whilst enjoying a stroll in the nice weather took a little while to find this at GZ as it’s a clever little hide SL TFTC

Found it.

Took us a few minutes. Our first time geocaching in a long time !

Got lucky and found it within a minute. But I can definitely see why other people are saying it took them a while. Great spot!

Hard

After a weekend away taking my niece on her first camping trip, I packed up my base in Anglesea and set off for home. Via Geelong, Williamstown and a few other stops of course.

After a stop in Geelong to have lunch with DonutHoles I set off to Williamstown… or so I thought. Just as I was leaving I heard an announcement on the radio that the Princes Freeway had been closed due a truck rollover and sand being spilled across the entire road.

I quickly got off the freeway before getting stuck and so began a long alternative journey to Williamstown, via a cache or two.

I located this tricky hide while getting ready to head home.

Thanks Robmc for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

1/3 this afternoon. Looked to a bit in all the usual places. Was about to call it when out of the corner of my eye I spotted something that didn’t look right. After inspection low and behold there it was! TFTF!

Very clever

Our final find for the afternoon. While one bunny searched high the other spotted something familiar down low. TFTC.

Back in July Muddy and I couldn't find this cache. In the area today setting up some lab cache waypoints we decided to have another look and it was an almost instant find. We were lucky as the cache was slightly visible, but I would have thought it could be felt during our very diligent search a few months ago. Clearly wasn't diligent enough!This whirlpool got me thinking of my old hometown Johannesburg which I recently visited. They have a whirlpool of sorts too, and are circling the drain with water shortages and electricity switched off for 12 hours a day in all residential areas. Public art like this is not possible there.Thanks, Robmc.

Think I broke the statue thing
No luck today. Will be back

On our 58th anniversary off to sunny W
Willie for celebration lunch and of course a cache.located this one down low and it appears to be one that I made some while ago tftc from one-eyed and Mrs one-eyed

Looked high n low. Searched through previous comments for any hints, still couldn’t find it.

Good spot

Too many people here even at 7pm just sitting in their cars staring . Might have to try this one at like 2am on a weeknight or something
