Nice quick easy find. Tftc

Well crafted favourite point from my family they loved it!

Cool one

TFTC:). Took a while but noticed something. What a smart and sneaky hide.C.C

Tftc!

tftc!! nicely camouflaged:)

Gotcha - found with a bit of searching. Tftc

TFTC nice spot

Great cache one if our best findsPen running out hopefully it reads stillThe spunder enjoys it as a lovely home

Lovely old bluestone wall! And a sneaky cache! TFTC CO.

It was fun to find and so many spiders. Very well hidden! TFTC

Cache replaced this afternoon and ready to go. Happy caching!

Clever cache, only meters from where we are staying. Thanks.

Looks like this guy has gone walkies again. I'll endeavour to get a replacement out ASAP

Oh this was tough at night time2 humans approached us a couple of times. I would say they looked more Suss than us So after some long search and being visited by these individuals we decided to give up Thanks buckleysbabe, we came because you and buckoraider share the family name

I'm starting to really resent cache owners like Buckleysbabe.After searching the area and because of a high muggle number, I reached out and asked for a hint. (Thinking that this one might be missing). Buckleysbabe responds confirming the location and the fact that I'm in the correct area. "I'm home today, If you're still stuck, let me know" - Nice. I head back to my search. Realise I'm drawing attention, so reach out again to take Buckleybabe up on her offer. Then... nothing. Radio silence. It's only been 4 minutes! - We hung around the area for another 20 minutes, still nothing. If hiders aren't going to be vigilant with their messaging and cache management, and help out searchers, then don't hide caches! - Just stick to enjoying the search. You can't only be part of the Geocaching community when it suits you. It's a commitment. If you don't want to play anymore, deactivate your cache or let someone else adopt it. This sort of thing is happening way too often.

Nice camouflage

Morgan Freeman voice: Reminds me of the type of place Annndy and I would stook our goods when our prison wallets were full to the brim. Poor old Annndy - alllll that mess. (Left: soldier).

Found it

Our first in Australia TFTC, excellent cache was a quick grab and placed back as found.

Wow found quickly very smart and cool catch. TFTC

Nice, easy find. Cool camo. All in good condition. TFTC

Found, literally had touched it before I came back to the same spot. Nice one

GZ 6 m W of cache and wrong side of wall for me but not too hard

Tftc BuckleysBabe. We came down yesterday afternoon, had tea, and then saw the wonderful Tim Minchin. Restless night so up early to catch some worms.Quick find and sign.

A little bit of a wander around in the dark tonight before spotting a likely spot and then finding the cache. Thanks for the great hide!

Tftc

This is such a hard find haha, so unexpected. Tftc

Tftc!

Second cache I found in Geelong! There was a spider guarding it at GZ but I scared him away with my sheer willpower. TFTC!

Found IT! FORGOT PEN LOVELY CHURCH

So happy to turn the sad face into a smiley face after a few years! Back then I was a newbie when I came to this GZ the first time. TFTC!

This was my third attempt at this cache, and it was spotted fairly quickly this time around. Just as I grabbed it, I heard approaching muggles so quickly retreated to my car to sign there. Cache returned as found once the the coast was clear! Thanks for a great hide and the history of this area!

Very cool! This cache rocks!

Back-logging this one to yesterday. I was in the neighborhood and after taking the time to quickly read the history provided, I just HAD to swing by and have a look at the wall...Solid hide. Definitely would have had me fooled a few months ago.

TFTC. Great hide! BYOP, unwrap the log plenty of space.

Revisited something I had already looked at and hey presto! There it was. Clever little placement. Thanks for the history lesson.

When the small person decides he wants to learn guitar, you find a music shop with a cache nearby! Sneaky hide, found by said small person. Thank for placing and highlighting the history of this lonely wall

TFTC nice easy find today. I wish I had this luck yesterday

Not sure how i overlooked that spot but found it within 5 mins. Pika 26/7/23

Log was very full

Now THAT is cool.

FP from me

Had some time spare and was a quick walk to the cache, nobody around so soon had cache in hand. TFTC

Found it out and about ,tftc

Absolutely loved this cache! Such an awesome hide and I loved reading all about the history here. The bluestone is beautiful and the history fascinating. Definitely earned a favourite point!

Thanks for the cache!
Peace, Tara

The child was off at camp. The perfect opportunity to sort out their room and the rest of the house. Or so you'd think.

Except here we are, waiting to make sure they don't have concussion after a slight mishap.

So, while their mother sits with them at the hospital, waiting for the all clear, I might as well get some exercise.

Three sets of bollards later, with a few more points thrown in for good measure, I looped around to find a bonus cache and complete the lap.

And on the way...

A surprisingly quick search by torchlight here.

Neatly construct and placed, Buckleysbabe.

Stealth required do to the muggle that decided to park about 5 metres from GZ as I was retrieving. Fortunately the muggle was distracted by their phone so I managed to replace with no dramas.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache Buckleysbabe

Quick and easy, very cleverly discussed cache

Nice craftsmanship on this cache

This was a nice quick find that makes up for my inability to find the other! This wall has so many nooks and cranked with bits of wood throughout. Read the comments to read on the local stories others have picked up on this place. My contribution would be that I am here today to tour Wadawurrung land

A great historic tenant still standing. A relatively quick find this morning. TFTC

Autumn tree found this 7 years ago but she had no idea because that was a lot of caches and brain cells ago.

But together we both found it again. At night, and on a school night. Not many people around at 9pm.

Tftc

Tftc

awesome!!

To stand in a place like this and be able to turn the clock back over 100 years and watch life go by, I would find it very fascinating. To see people in their Sunday best going to church and all the different types of people going in and out of the markets.

Just grabbing some caches before catching a ferry tomorrow morning. Then the adventure will begin.

GCA1DNA - SA’s Leap Year Event - 29th February 2024 -
This only happens every 4 years -
Don’t miss out, it’s going to be MEGA -

Heading out to Geelong for a paddle attempt I stopped by this cache. Walking up and down the structure I checked all the obvious spots with no luck. Clearly I hadn’t looked properly because a second pass soon revealed the object I sought.

Part way through my search a local who had noticed my intrigue in the wall came over to share his history of being in the saleyards as a kid. It turns out the cut off sections of wood were actually part of long walkways that the auctioneers walked along amongst all the animals.

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

Grub62 and I were in the area and had a bit of time and thought that another smiley face to our collection would be great. There was no muggles about today so we had a free range. After a short search the cache was found and signed. I love the camouflage. TFTC.

Bunadoorian and I had come to Geelong for a Storm game at Kardina Park. Now where to park - arrh we found a parking area and one with a cache too. Bunadoorian soon found the cache. What great camo!! TFTC, the history lesson and effort involved in the camo - Buckleysbabe.

One of the coolest I've ever found

I found your D2.0/T1.0 Micro Traditional called To Market! To Market! at 19:40 on 16 November 2022. It was find #16047 for me. Thank you Buckleysbabe for placing this cache for our enjoyment in the wonderful state of Victoria.

Very cool find

Clever hide️

Looking for somewhere for dinner and this one was 70mt from the car park. Thanks for showing us this old bit of history.

Moved it twice, very cleaver, and loved the history

Nice quick find for us today!

First tried a few years ago when we first started caching. Found it instantly today a few years later! Great hide!

Staying in Geelong for a weekend and thus the coaching begins. 8am Sat morning.
That was a great insight into the history of this place. I loved heading to GZ imagining all the coming & going over the years. Thanks Buckleysbabe for that!
The cache itself is pretty cool too. All in great condition, good coords.

Luckily Mr Riddell put his hand straight onto it.
Not a soul to be seen on a chilly but dry Sunday afternoon.
TFTC

TFTC, super easy find after a day of DNFs ️️

Weirdobiker's eagle eye found this immediately. I had growned when I saw GZ.

Luckily it was an easy find but a very clever hide. Favourite from me

Brilliant hide great camo I was surprised how quickly I was able to locate it! TFTC

What a great well thought out cache! As a Geelong tourist I loved the information and a great camouflage!

No muggles today. Logged in the shade of an ornamental tree. TFTC

Over from NZ visiting family, not too much time at present to go caching but managed a few in town today. Nice easy find and fab cache tftc

Found! After skipping maths we decided to head out for a hunt! Found with school mates! Fantastic camo

After about 5-10 mins of finding it was in our hands. Word of advice, GPS had us searching the wrong side of the wall for a while. TFTC!!!!

I wanted to rock it!

While down in Geelong visiting my daughter, and just waiting for her to finish work, decided to pick up two hides close to each other.
Rocked up the the GZ, and I suppose NYE, at 6:30 in the evening, this area was totally deserted! I good inspection of the structure eventually revealed a very well made hide! Now doing that would have been tricky! Have to give a FP for the effort that it must have taken to produce it !

TFTC

Was wondering which one should it be? The looked into it and there it was!

I had it in my hand and didn't know it lol.
Found the lid first then the cache. Great hide put both back together

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
Quick easy find before work. Not too many muggles out this morning! Lid wasn’t with the rest of it, but the log is still in tact. Very cool cache!
TFTC

Thanks for the cache

Cool area, pretty cool cache, lid on the cache was missing tho

It just had to be there! Tftc

Great hide

Loved this little cache camo. Quick find

Not too busy but lots of cars
Good spot and great hide

We found it quickly. Great hiding spot!

Second for the day. A neat little hide and a straightforward find thanks to Mrs SKIs Eagle eyes.

Off on another day caching around the Bellarine Peninsula with our good mate Rebel Acts.
A mixture of trails and other caches. The trails here are a bit of a treat as rather than the preform tubes or similar containers we have generally experienced in the past, most containers are of good size and often are a bit of a feature of the theme in the cache name.
We were racing the weather a bit trying to get in as much as possible before rain set in, but still had to battle showers. Lucky we were prepared.
All in all, another great day caching.

All logs signed with RASP (Rebel Acts, SKI Pair).

With an early arrival for today's Mother's Day luncheon, I figured that I had enough time to mosie on around the corner for a look for this one. Well, it wasn't actually a quick find but after a few minutes of looking in every nook and cranny, I finally had the sneaky hide in hand at 12:10.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Buckleysbabe.

Tfgc

Decided to go for a night cache on this beautiful night... No wind or rain = perfect. Love the cache Thanks for the hide

Found by caughtatwork at 16:14 on 11/04/2021
A nicely done cache that could have been missed if not for a check of the hide.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for everyone to find, for without those who hide, those of seek would have nothing to find.

This one has eluded me on a previous occasion but for some reason a didn't log a DNF - no such trouble this time. tftc

Awesome find. Thanks for the cache
