CH11 Double Dipping Waterloo, Victoria, Australia
By chooknchunk on 05-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DY0V

We reviewed the Camp Hill area today. While the road has now re-opened, the fires of February this year have burnt a large proportion of the area.We had already re-enabled the unburnt Camp Hill caches 1 to 4. But from CH5 on, many of the caches had been burnt, with nowhere suitable now to hide replacements in the fire-ravaged landscape. So we have made the decision to archive caches 5 through to 12. They have been here for nearly 10 years and have been enjoyed by many. Caches 1 to 4 will remain though.

Sections of Camp Hill Road are still closed to traffic, therefore these caches remain disabled until road closures are lifted.

This section of Camp Hill Road has suffered fire damage from the February 22 bushfires. Caches along here have either been burnt and/or are still within local road closures. Assessment and clearing of fire-damaged trees is still in progress. Will review in a month.

Important Notice:While the major fire front has been suppressed, there is still fire activity in the area in the form of smouldering stumps and trees. Local agencies are still attending to hot spots, falling trees and road damage, and may be doing so for the next few weeks. Many roads are still closed or are open for local resident access only.PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND ANY CACHE THAT HAS BEEN DISABLED DUE TO THE BUSHFIRES, regardless of whether you think it is safe or not. Any 'Found It' logs while this cache is disabled for this reason will be subsequently deleted.We will check out each location and arrange re-enabling of caches as access and safety allows.Thank you for your understanding.Jo and Glen (chooknchunk)

This cache is an an area subject to fire fighting operations (22-23 Feb) and may have been impacted by the fire. It has been disabled until it is safe for the CO is able to check the current condition of the cache.

Quite difficult to find. Could use a hint

I was heading to Beaufort for the Goodbye 2023 celebration event and arrived with enough time to hit this trail first. Found it.Many thanks to chooknchunk for the cache.

Quick find Thanks for the cache

This was another straightforward find and were soon able to sign the log. Thanks to chooknchunk for the cache.

Another cache that I almost DNF’d, infact I was so certain it was gone that I’d taken a photo to send to the CO. Luckily as I was heading to the car, I decided to check one last spot and there it was. TFTC

Decided on a run out this way again and to have a go at this series. A great drive through the forest on what was a great day. Managed to find all in the series, plus a few others and all were in good condition.

No problems here and the cache was soon in hand.

Thanks again chooknchunk....look forward to exploring a bit more.

I decided to do a road trip along the Great Ocean Road this week. It’s been a long time since I travelled along this area and it was certainly before I was into caching! As the week nears an end it was time to head back, taking the long way home via a day in Beaufort and some events in Ballarat tomorrow.

No double dipping here today. GZ was spotted straight off the bat and the logbook signed.

Thanks chooknchunk for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

After a good weekend in Avoca and the surroundings enjoying the company of other Geocachers and, of course, finding quite a few caches, we headed home to the Bellarine Peninsula. It was a lovely crisp clear morning for the second morning in a row, and it boded well for caching. Mrs Dromaniax had spoken to Mr chooknchunk on the weekend and had discussed this series, so we decided to complete this series on the way home. The series is in lovely bushland North of Beaufort. There was a profusion of Pink and White Heath, Drosera, Correas and that beautiful but very prickly wattle in the area. This cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache and series chooknchunk.

Found it

TFTC chooknchunk. I enjoyed the thought put into the names for this series. Not sure that Shumba7 got this one but she rocks the confused look anyway.

TFTC. Double dipping.. I still don’t get it. Algae was all over the titles to your caches.

We decided to go for a Sunday drive with the geopups to this lovely area. Having not cached for sometime it was good to get out.

Thanks chooknchunk. Nice quick find.
Caches found in good condition and with spot on coordinates.

Lots of caches today!! Best run ever- TFTC

Took longer than expected. Found ina more unusual spot then most. TFTC

Hot and getting hotter. Thank goodness Snips & Co found it. I was WAY off.

Oh we have had a fun day out caching today. We had the smallest of The Friendly Fords with us and newcomers The Pandas learning the ropes. Cold, misty, rainy, muddy. What more could 5 kids 5-13yrs ask for?Number 3 for the day and I think the tribe has just about got the hang of it! Thanks ChooknChunk for another great day!! And for the cache.

On my way back to Beaufort after Muusical Gully. Loving the new route!

Thanks! Almost home time. Busy day )

Re-enabling now the Victorian Covid19 restrictions say we can "participate in some recreational activities, adhering to the rules". Please use common sense, maintain social distancing, attend to hand hygiene and stay safe.

Temporarily disabling this cache due to the Corona Virus.
Geocaching is not "essential travel".
It puts others at risk when you travel unnecessarily, no matter how isolated a cache may be.
Please stay at home.

My first day of a three day road trip through Western Victoria to grab a few caches. After a long drive out to Carlisle River to tick off a target for the challenge to find a cache in each page of the Victorian Country Road Atlas I headed towards Ballarat to try some challenge caches followed by the Xmas Down Under puzzle series. After that it was on towards Beaufort and I had time enough to try this series before coincidentally meeting the CO team for dinner at the local pub. Another quick find which was pleasing in the time that I had. Took nothing. left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and the series chooknchunk.

This morning I made my way from Ararat to Beaufort collecting the odd cache here and there.
After completing the COs wherigo series 2 months ago I wanted to have a go at this series today, it was a nice drive along the road picking up the caches along the way, some were clever and made it that bit more interesting. All the caches are in good condition.
TFTC

Had a mild case of cache blindness here but got it in the end.

Out after the mega event. Day 87 of our trip. Caching along the way. A total of 31 for the day and 2538 for the trip. TFTC

Found it with SciFiRulz and MazzyMay NicNax
TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. This was the second cache today that caused a bit of a problem, circling around trying to pin it down. Eventually MazzyMay got out of the car and showed us where it was, I looked nearby but not the correct spot. TFTC

Found with my dad (day1976) and Ilukaperi. TFTC!

After camping in Beaufort on the CO's farm; myself, Day1976, my sister Nakarra and Day's son Jo ventured out as team JIND. After finishing the nearby wherigos, we decided to do this lot of caches also, in our aim to get to 70 today.

Having camped at the chooknchunk's place the night before, Ilukaperi, her sister, my son Yeah09 and myself awoke reasonably early and after coffee, breakfast and packing up we hit the road by about 8:30am. Our goal for the weekend was to find 70 caches, but having only found 3 yesterday, we all thought that finding 67 today might be a tall order. Happy to say we achieved that, plus a few extra as well to give us a grand total of 70 for today and 3 yesterday.

Having finished the nearby wherigos, we looked towards Beaufort and developed a strategy to grab them all. Enjoyed a bit of 4WDing in parts and got some mud splattered on the Disco. Ilukaperi's plastic tubs of food in the back didn't fair so well. All of these caches were races between the four of us to see who could find it first. Most of these races were won by ilukaperi's sister, who's eye seemed to be in tune with finding today. The boys were seriously letting the team down in the finds department though.

TFTC!

With nineteen down before lunch - a feed of fish n chips in the tummies - your caches were calling our names again. Wondering around the area with Honeysucker today. Thanks chooknchunk for the day filled with laughter. This is number 30 for the day.
# 4176 for TR!

As we wander the great land
Thanks to chooknchunk for placing the cache for us to find.

Hatzofff and I are now on a short six night break from QOGM 2019 preparations, and have three of those nights in the Raglan area with chooknchunk. Thanks guys!

Today was our second day, and we explored some caches in the Raglan to Waubra to Beaufort area.

Our final one in this series, having done No 12 yesterday. And just as well, too, as those threatening storm clouds are keeping their promise, and it is spitting to rain. Can we manager to get back to Troy Reserve before the heavens really open us?

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 5.00 PM on 24th August 2019. TFTC, chooknchunk.

Stayed in Beaufort last night and went out on a caching run today with ilook4geo. It turned out to be a fine day despite last night's rain. Our second aim was the Camp Hill road series. This was a lovely bush wander with some wildflowers just starting to bloom.
This trail following Camp Hill Road was also an interesting one. No problems with any of the caches in this series.
Thank you to chooknchunk for placing all these caches. Well done.

Spent the night in Beaufort and today was a caching day with goingplaces2. We did a couple of series and some extra caches as well. It was an enjoyable day cruising along these country roads. We were happy with so many finds to add to the caching map. TFTC.

**Traditional Cache Find #2441**

The day dawned fine and cool. SteMicMitSar, Jascat, Buhfuhgah and I headed over to the other side of the bay to attend two events and to find a number of new Wherigos at Beaufort. As we approached the first of this series, we The Tritonz parked at GZ. We teamed up and found the entire series in just under an hour.
It was gratifying to be able to answer the questions up to and including the early 80's, after that, Google had to be employed. We found these trads as we made our way back to Beaufort and one of the events we had come here to attend.

Today I headed out on a bit of a road trip to Beaufort and then Geelong for a couple of events as well as the new musical note Wherigo caches with jascat, biggles1024 and buhfuhguh.
The musical note series had now been complete and it was time to bid farewell to The_Tritonz and GemmaSistema as we headed along camphill road before heading to the event.
While the others headed in further from the road, I stopped at GZ and found the cache.

**Thanks to chooknchunk for placing this cache.**

Ah, what a day, after an early rise this morning I drove to meet up with Stemicmitsar, Biggles1024 and Jascat for a day of caching out west. With our main goal being 2 events and some musical wherigos. A rather big day nevertheless. With us finishing our hunt and me getting home from the trip at 2am this morning. Anyways thanks for putting this cache out and being apart of a great day.

After finishing the wherigo series the crew realized that we still had ample time to go out and find some caches before the event in town starts...... so with time to kill we decided to pick up some trads before we grab lunch at the event. Anyways thanks for the cache and the adventure

On a few occasions, Ninny Muggins and I have tried to organise a day of caching, but other plans have always got in the way. But today the plans came together as we made our way to Beaufort to Celebrate International Caching Day with an event and some great caches around Beaufort. All 30 caches located with no DNF’s on a perfect day with blue sky.

No need o double dip as the cache was found on the first go.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Cache chooknchunk

A day trip to Beaufort with SteMicMitSar, biggles1024 and buhfuhguh for a an event and to pick up the new music wherigos. My GPS was putting me further in off the track. Steve made the find closer to the road.

**Thanks to chooknchunk for placing this cache.**

Found with Cybergran V and her MuggleHubby. [^] Having reached our objective of completing the new Wherigo series, we grabbed a few of these "CH" ones on the way down the hill back to Beaufort.
Apparently "CH" stands for "Camp Hill" but in my mind it will always be the"Chooknchunk Horsey" series.
Happy to report that even though the cache was filthy, the contents were clean and dry. [8)]
