someone seems to have issue with this cache so goodbye

14 Nov 2020, Not Found @ 11:37 am.

I Decided to have a look for this one but no matter how much I tried I just was unable to find it.
At the posted coordinates we found what we were looking for but it had been smashed to pieces and the Info that is needed to find the finals was ripped into a few pieces but we were still able to put things together to work out were GZ should be but once there we search at our coordinates and the surrounding area but we were unable to locate the cache.
At the first container we picked up the scattered pieces and placed them in a pile together were it was thought it should be.

Thanks to wozzle68 for placing this cache even though I couldn’t find it.

We found waypoint 1 without too much trouble, but the container had been smashed to smithereens and the strip of information had been torn into three pieces. Despite this difficulty, we managed to produce a set of co-ords for the cache using two different methods but at those co-ords, although we found an object that matched the hint, we couldn't find any sign of the cache.

#socialdistancing is still very important!

I am disabling this cache during this public health crisis.
PLEASE STAY HOME GEOCACHING IN NOT ESSENTIAL.

Aaarrgghhh !!
Muggled out by campers here !!

Ah well !!
I've got an excuse to return to this great park someday [^]

Tried this way and that. Eventually something clicked and the coordinates were in hand. My body is so exhausted after a very physically active week that initially I missed the cache at GZ because I couldn’t squat down far enough. Lucky I had a caching buddy today and Jacko83 came up with the goods!

A quick easy multi thought Anikano and I. When you work out what to do that is! Actually a really novel idea, something different which doesn't happen much with caching after 6k finds.

Hey...where was the dam?

new hide for wp1

Replaced and moved WP1 slightly

will check on wp 1 soon

all myself and mogni found at wp1 was a pvc pipe cap spray painted black 40 mm on the ground.

I am thinking previous visitors to this park have not logged their DNFs here? No logged finds since June, yet nearby cache have many finds since!
I could not find the first WP...

Found on our midweek getaway to Clunes. We stopped off here at The Dam and made our picnic lunch. TFTC

Find #10129

With a Rogaining event happening tomorrow in Daylesford, I decided to make a weekend of it and camp out somewhere nearby. I had been wanting to get back to Beckworth for some time, so decided this was the ideal opportunity, so after ParkRun near home, I packed the car and off I went. The weather while not hot, was looking OK for a walk in the forest.

This one took me way longer than it should have, the item at WP1 did not come to hand until I checked the hint and expanded the search. Interesting method to get the GZ coords, something I had not seen before. Once at GZ, the cache was quickly found.

Many thanks to wozzle68 for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2019?*

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and MazzyMay. We really enjoyed this one, a bit different to anything I have come across before. The cache was a little damaged though, it appears something has been chewing at it. The dam was very sad, no water at all. TFTC

Logged as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and SciFiRulz. We headed out today to enjoy the adventure at Mount Beckworth and were not disappointed. The puzzle part was fairy straightforward and easy to manage. The dam (and everywhere else) was bone dry but will probably fill again soon with winter approaching. TFTC

Found it with SciFiRulz and MazzyMay while we were out and about, TFTC

We had arrived in this very beautiful area yesterday evening, and by the end of a thoroughly enjoyable late afternoon/early evening geocaching hike we had found 11 of the caches in the area. We then spent last night at Manna Gums campsite. This morning we set off on foot for what our GPS recorded as having been a 7 hour, 13 kilometre geocaching hike, with a total ascent of 585 meters and a total descent of 561 meters. After returning to our waiting hired cache-mobile we then drove on to find the rest of the caches in the area. We then spent a second night at Manna Gums campsite before leaving the Reserve, by which time the Mount Beckworth Scenic Reserve had become one of our all time favourite places we have visited in Australia - plus of course we left this geocaching playground with a full house of smilies! - not to mention the thrill of a gorgeous little Echidna who late in the day walked right up to me and then sat down between my feet - I felt so privileged! With our hike complete we had set off by cache-mobile to search for the last of the caches left for us to find in this lovely Scenic Reserve, this being the next one for us to search for via this method. On arriving at waypoint one we soon found what was required, then we had fun unraveling the numbers. Once done we updated our GPS with the corrected co-ordinates and then walked on towards Ground Zero where the cache was soon located. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the good fun Multi-cache and a favourite point awarded (the Dam was completely dry today). Greetings from Zimbabwe

TFTC. We had visited this cache last year , only to discover that the original sign had been removed and replaced by a new style. This was the first opportunity we have had since then to revisit. We had a mission today we wanted to get as many of the caches on Mount Beckworth as possible today to get closer to meeting the $00 with a twist challenge. There are also two caches here that will fill in a number on the D/T grid and also a month on the Ausmer challenge.
Finding WP1 was easy and i actually knew what to do to resolve the Co-ords for WP2 . Grinding the cache took longer than expected but we got there in the end.

I spent today catching up and caching with Mr and Mrs pprass and also joined by Mr and Mrs Xambo4u before camping here for the night. This was my first cache for the day. Lucky for me pprass offered to join me in the search as he mentioned there was a bit of a trick with this one. Upon finding stage one I did struggle to line up the parts I needed to reveal stage 2 but with a gentle nudge from pprass all the pieces eventually came together.
Finding the final was also a struggle as the satellites didnt want to play the same game I was and my GZ was quite a way from where the final was eventually found.
Thx wozzle68 for a field puzzle that I hadn't come across before and thx to pprass for his help and knowledge of the history of this type of puzzle. Ive got lots of favorite points saved so I'll give this one a favorite as it's the first of it's type I've found. Cheers

Out for weekend with the pprass like old times. This was a quick walk while the were sleeping. A puzzle I could manage. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely hideaway

Found at 12:08 PM GAFF3.
We set up camp just 90 metres away for an extra long weekend to cache this area. Took a while to locate the first clue and finally at a distance of 9 metres and in the heat (it was around 37°) the interesting little puzzle emerged. We have done a similar puzzle in PMQ which was made out of the original leather, so when we saw this one it was straight into it, got the co-ords and onto the final which we spotted straight away.
Thanks wozzle68.
Feedback: We believe that the D rating is a bit too low - possibly the T rating as well seeing as how you have to go of he track for about 90 metres.

Having just arrived home yesterday evening after an 8 day trip away[|)], today it was time to head to Ballarat as Cybergran V had wanted to a ride to attend wozzle68's 50th birthday celebration.
Harry managed to find a tree branch while reversing and gave himself an injury: the rear window on the canopy shattered [xx(] at the 2nd cache find for the weekend and yet by the time this was discovered at Castlemaine, many kilometres later, nothing had fallen out of the gaping hole! Whew!! [^]
Cardboard and duct tape saved the day/weekend!

After attending the birthday celebration tea leafotwind, Rex and I headed out doing some caches until late in the night then after a good rest thanks to an extra room at leafotwind's accommodation (which was hugely appreciated [:X]), the next day we attended the breakfast event and then (after Cybergran V rejoined us) we headed out to claim some challenge caches accompanied for a short time by both Mrs and Mr Riddell

With the last cache of the 29 cache finds found at 6pm on the 5th, it was time for the drive back to Shepparton, having attended 2 events and only having 1 DNF and 1 Write note on a challenge cache that I do not yet meet.

As I am about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

TNLN. SL. TFTC wozzle68

Upon hearing that I was headed to Beckworth the CO encouraged me to complete this and the other multi. I'm glad I did as I hadn't come across one of these before. Luckily locus cache had and advised what had to be done. After arriving at GZ following a short walk I made the find as the growth around the area had turned a little vicious, besides which I needed a multi to continue the daily streak.

After having attended the second of the birthday events in Ballarat I had planned to tackle some Mt. Beckworth caches. I was joined by locus cache and CybergranV which proved fortuitous both from an energy/motivation standpoint after yesterday's 20km+ of walking as well as a couple of puzzle solves. A great day out. Thanks to either Wozzle68 or McLookers for putting out the caches and drawing me to the area.

locus cache had already found over 500 Multis but both leaftowind and I needed more for the challenge cache locus cache found for us on the mountain today.
I’ve seen similar to this before but not as good as this one.
For that, and the scenery, plus a nice spot to have a picnic tea to give us the energy to continue, I’m giving you a favourite point.
The effort you’ve put it into making and placing these caches, is very much appreciated by us.
Thanks for a Multi that didn’t require maths to gain the coordinates.

Nice field puzzle.... Mrs Riddell would not have got it!
A rodent(??) has chewed a hole in the lid and base. Can see the teeth scratch marks all over. Nice colours inside must be attractive!
It's dry at the moment though.
TFTC... took longer than 10 minutes.
But enjoyed the small puzzle.

Out here again today with the family including boo09 & becca85.
TFTC

Back to Mount Beckworth again for the second day in a row, this time armed with a Muggle husband and a slightly tougher car (well older/rustier which means I can bush bash and puddle hop a little more).
Muggle husband spotted WP1 first but had no idea what to do with it. I knew from reading prior logs that I may have to use my brain but thankfully it was a nice easy field puzzle.
A quick find once at GZ. Found with neisha07 & boo09. TFTC!

A nice afternoon out with the family including neisha07 & becca85. TFTC

TFTC - Out with Crackers from team Crack'n'LeeLee exploring the area and collecting caches in this series. This was another interesting multi, I'm going to give this a favourite.

Out and about today with Ed from 2beez to check out the camping possibilities here and grab a few of this series as well.
Found WP1, but then 'what the hell do I do with that'? Then Ed goes hang on give it here and the problem was solved. Made the easy find at GZ and on we go.

Woo hoo, got to do Mr Beckworth with the fabulous CO himself.....I feel very privileged as it was a super awesome day filled with cool driving tracks and lots of walking. [^]

Well what an unexpected wonderful adventure this week turned out to be! I was meant to be in Alice Springs, but plans needed to change, so a relaxing trip to Victoria was the go.

Wozzle68 and I buddied up, and we ended up being great travel companions [^]....OMG, so much laughter , loud music [^], off-key singing and fun was had [:o)] [^]. We also teamed up with ChooknChunk and travelled in convoy to attend Mildura for '3 States in a Day' caching and events. What a great 4-some we made [^]....certainly brilliant dynamics [^], fabulous conversations [^] and loads of giggles [^]. I then stayed in Ballarat for a few days which was great fun.

Thanks for the cache wozzle68!

Loved this find never seen it before very much enjoyed working out the co-ords didnt enjoy the dead rabbit who had been watching over the box

It's awesome to come across a cache type that I've never seen before. And this one was terrific! While multis weren't on the list of caches to do today, the reassurance that this one was simple was enough incentive to get us out of the car and walking. Upon arrival, I was initially put off by the sight of a piece of broken cache container, but a recent log indicated the cache was good to go. What an effective idea! However, at GZ we were confronted with a dead rabbit. AT GZ, not near it! So, after shooing the flies, we retrieved and signed the log, and moved onto the next one. TFTC wozzle68

The item at the posted coordinates was missing and has now been replaced. Check the hint for help

Well it's sad to dnf this again but we had to call it when middle geo child was bitten on the ankle. Starting to think the bull ants are trying to take us out, last time it was Mr plow this time it was mrs plow and geokid#2.
Yep think he will be staying in the car the rest of the day.

Will need to investigate, might be missing info at posted and may be a problem with bullant nest.

**Smile # *4506* / Multi # *227***

Today was planned with a cache trip to Ballarat and the Mt. Beckworth area for another geocaching adventure. DAB, Ausfox and myself met early, packed the geo vehicle with plenty of drinks as we knew today was going to be a hot day and we were on our way. We made it to our destination for the day and were greeted with a very hot Mt. Beckworth. Plenty of tall, dry grass which would have been a snakes paradise but thankfully none were seen. We searched and searched for WP1. The clue had us about 8 meters from where the GPSr wanted us. The only thing we found was some MASSIVE angry bull-ants, one taking out Ausfox's ankle. We spread out over a huge distance and finally found the hiding hole as a PAF came through at the same time. Stamped and replaced as found.

**Thanks for placing this multi cache and series wozzle68**
**Cache container and log in good condition**
**Took nothing, Left nothing**

Joined up with Na'wal and DAB to spend the day caching around Ballarat and Mt Beckworth. I'm glad we stocked up with fluids as as the temperature soared. With the long dry grass we were weary of snakes.
We made our way to wpt1 and spent a good 20mins looking around but couldn't find any sign of the information, I even got a friendly nip from an oversized bull ant that kept me entertained for a while. We widened the search area looking for the cache to no avail.
I resorted to asking a previous finder if they could assist, so with the correct colors we were able to make a find.
Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache wozzle68

Today I was in the company of Ausfox; and Na'wal. There had been a bit of chatter about Mt.Beckworth recently, so we decide to give this series a crack. I had never been here before, so I was really looking forward to it. We knew it was going to be warm and even though our phones said it was 31 degrees, it felt a lot warmer than that by early afternoon. Apart from a couple of walkers around the back of the mountain, we had the whole area to ourselves. Had no luck at WP1, but a quick PAF had us on our way. TFTC wozzle68

Well we were having a good look until we accidentally woke up a massive ants nest. We then gave up pretty quickly. Got back to the car and mr plow screams like a girl as he has ants on his pants.

It was cool to be out caching with everyone again! Cool idea! tftc

With the gang on what could be a snowy feel of a day. Clever multi found easily tftc

I love multis, especially your creative multis!!
The cache has been gnawed on by some animal which has scratched through, but it is still dry. Tfth

Got together with jenno3 and everybody to do this clever multi. Cache has been chewed on by an animal of some sort. Tftc

Nice to finish the day with a smilie. Favorite for the way the gz coords are given. Never seen that before, and now I've learnt something new. My thanks to the CO for the hint to help me as until that came through, this had me utterly bamboozled! TFTC.

Well this was going to be a big day for Suscoe.
Up early and off with long shadows stretching across the ground in the early morning.
A sunny day with the temperature around 30 degrees during the afternoon was going to be warm but thankfully a breeze sprung up during the morning and kept going all day and so it cooled Suscoe down at times when it was most needed.
This was the 3rd find of the day.
Well the photo looks splendid but today it was dry as chips here.
A nice multi and GZ was accurate.
Suscoe imagined this in Winter with full levels and green grass and then the sun hit and the imagining was gone.
Thanks Wozzle68.

TFTC. Enjoying the caches around here very much Thanks again wozzle68. A quick little Multi, and nice bit of fun.

Staying at the Creswick caravan park, to do some caching in the area.

Headed out to Mt Beckworth, for a lovely drive around the reserve.
It was a bit warm today, so we just picked up the caches along the main trail.

A great little multi, which we enjoyed. A favourite point for the effort gone into it.
Many thanks for placing this cache, wozzle68, for us and others to find.

Spent the day out with Yogster, Jageredwings and families. Had 5 Retrivers with us and the all had a ball. Thanks for the hides Wozzle.

Prickly find. TFTC

TFTC. Out for the day with the GeoFamily and half of Clan McStormy to conquer the Beckworth Beckons Series, cache number 7.
Cool little multi that as usual we went the 'prickly' way to find.

Out caching with geodaddy on beckworth beckon's series like where you hid the cache. thanks wozzle

Cache zombified.
Out exploring the Beckworth area and grabbing a few caches. Last in the area for the day and very clever. Unfortunately the dam had very little water and did not look like the picture, more of a puddle! Had a good day for caching weatherwise and decided to enjoy it. Cache in good order.
TFTC from ZombieCats.
"I used to wander around in circles aimlessly, now I wander around in circles geocaching!"

Having attended the nearby event, we headed off to find some of the caches in the area before heading back to Ballarat. It wasn't long before we bumped into some of the other caching teams and joined them in the hunt. We almost made the mistake of just following the arrow on the GPS toward, but we were soon given some intel which would make for a much easier find.

Thank you wozzle68 for taking the effort of putting out this multi and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy.

Enjoy caching with Shamus1, Everlasting and The Morris who drive us into the bushland.

I was joined by two other teams as I approached this one. Between us we made short work of both wp1 and the final.

Crazy Paul and I found this one while the girls cooked lunch at our nearby camp. Clever waypoint. I liked that! TNLNSL.

Fantasy day - enjoyed myself so much, Thanks to The Morris offered us to ride his car due to we didnt have 4wd. The bushland is beautiful and the weather just perfect day. [^] [^]

Enjoyed the multi and fav from me as well...

Sorry about copy and paste.

Again thanks to wozzle68 for organising the caches [font=Verdana] [^]

We went here from our camp in the company of Just a Trifle and soon bumped into Alansee. Luckily, our fellow campers stopped us from bushbashing to this one - there is certainly a much easier way.
Very nice task at WP1 and a quick find at GZ. We stayed for a quick chat with our fellow cachers before returning to camp. Last find on this great day.
Thanks for your handiwork here wozzle68!

Found by Mary & David at 1025. Enjoyed working out the coordinates at WP1. We've only seen one like this a couple of times. On to GZ then, where we found it after a short search. Our thanks to wozzle68.

Had me puzzled for a few minutes then it all fell into place! TFTC.

Spent the weekend away with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic attending the events and picking up some of the local caches.
Thank you for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

Catching up on some logs that I have discovered hadn't been published yet. As always I have enjoyed the challenge of looking for and finding this cache.

Many thanks wozzle68 for placing this cache .

Travelling with The Coffee's and micaparamedic picking up some caches in this fantastic area.
We were not sure if we wanted to spend time on a multi with the weather being as it was but decided to give it go as were passing and we were glad we did.
It has been awhile since we have seen this sort of clue and this one worked well.
We arrived at GZ and found nothing so expanded our search and still came up empty handed. We went back to where the GPS was insisting we should be and this time we found the well hidden cache, we will blame the dark sky's for our cache blindness but at least we have our names in the log. (the contained had slight signs of being chewed but is sill in excellent condition.)
Again our thanks wozzle68 for these great and varying cache hides.
We have seen this before but it still deserves a favorite point

Decided it was too nice of a day to waste so we packed up and headed out. Having never been to the area before and lack of signs and service just finding the entrance was an adventure!
We stopped here to stretch our legs and look for "The Dam"
What a great welcome for us to this area, we put the co-ords into the gps and wandered around exploring and sussing it all out. Geokids loved this space and have requested to return for a longer time.
Thank you for placing the caches and bring us to this wonderful area

Caching at Mt Beckworth today with the two geokids (aged 4 & 6). Along for the ride was Shamus1. We grabbed this one after lunch. Another brilliant multi. We got to WP1 easily but it took me a minute to work out what to do. So clever! A very simple twist! Loved it! So this is another fav point from me. Great work wozzle68!

Found by The Empire @ 11:50am
Find number 11 of 40, around Mount Beckworth today. I really liked this one, unique so it gets a favourite point from me! Thanks for the cache, and the series wozzle68.

Found in the company of Glanville Girls, McLookers & Tomstache before attending the 15 years of Geocaching BBQ event at the end of the series, after finding the first waypoint and extracting the coords it was a nice quick find at GZ

Dam this geocacher knows how to put on a great series. You rock Wayne . Tricky tricky

Very cool multi. We found it when it was spitting rain. I haven't seen one like this before, very cool wozzle68. A favourite from me. Caching today with ST37E, Glanville Girls, McLookers and Trubods.

A fantastic multi and a brilliant hide. Thanks wozzle68, a favourite from me. Caching today with ST37E, Glanville Girls, Tomstache and Trubods.

Gee the hides on this trail just get get better and better. Thanks for all of your efforts on this one Wozzle. Another favourite added.
Out today with ST37E, McLookers and Tomstache to celebrate 15 years of Geocaching.

cache found today with Gemmasiemensma and two geokids on a grate days caching at Mt Beckworth on our way to todays event and a awsome multi and cool WP1 TFTC

Found our way to WP1 and even though we hadn't seen this sort of thing before, we worked it out fairly quickly. Very clever - like it a lot. The final cache was in hand not long afterwards. Would love to see this place when the dam has a lot more water in it. Oh well, we will just have to come back one day TFTC Wozzle68.

Really enjoyed this multi. Very simple but clever! Tftc

Things are pretty busy at home at the moment as we start to pack up prior to our big move. There are lots of things to do....and I really don't feel like doing any of them. Therefore it seemed a lot more sensible to load up the ute and go caching.

I have been wanting to give the Mt. Beckworth caches a crack for a while now, so it seemed like no time like the present. With the cloud cover, the GPS was all over the shop (talking to someone else who was caching elsewhere at the same time they were having the same issues), however a bit of geosense soon got me over the line.

It was here that I had the most GPS troubles. The GPS was jumping everywhere; it's not an issue with the COs coordinates, rather just cruddy conditions outside today.

Anyway, I looked around for WP1 without much success as the GPS was just too active. Anyway, after a good 10 minutes I was about to give up. I circled around once more and there it was, WP1.

From then on the next set of coordinates were found and the cache retrieved and log signed.

TFTC Wozzle68, it was a fun little multi (once I found WP1)

After arriving at wp1 we soon had the information that we needed and headed for the cache which was just a short walk away. Great area for caching so thanks to wozzle68 for all your caches today. Tftc

A pleasant diversion whilst visiting the park today on another matter. The dam doesn't look anything like your photo at the moment. Pity!! While walking to Part 1, I got to pat an echidna that was mooching about in the bush. I hadn't read the description when I found the first container so it was a bit of a surprise to find no log book. A quick look at the details soon had it sorted and produced a successful recovery of the final prize. TNLN. Many thanks Wozzle68.

We travelled over to spend the weekend camping at Mt Beckworth and complete the well regarded series.

Aah very cute - have not seen one of these in the wild before

TFTC wozzle68

Well this was unexpected. Never had to do this before. It worked well and the final location soon worked out. Log all signed and then another drink. It was warming up.
While drinking the breeze blew my papers away. Lucky there was no water in the dam today.

I came to Mt Beckworth to do this series of caches on a cool Sunday as I thought a cooler day would suit me in this type of terrain. All in all it took me 4 and a half hours to do this series plus the 2 caches up on the summit. Luckily I found everything which can sometimes be tricky when there is just one of you!
Lots of prep work last night to read logs and make sure I missed nothing including solving the puzzles.
The first of 2 multis and once WP1 was in hand it was a simple task to get the cords. I hate putting my hand where it cannot see but came out of it unscathed!
Thanks wozzle68 for a terrific series of caches!

12:20
Wow what an outstanding collection of caches – variety, surprise, fun and ingenuity all around Mt Beckworth! We had a great day working our way around the series with our caching pals Ian & Penny.
The construction of the devious device certainly earns a favourite from us - it's been a long time since we've seen this sort of device used.

Thanks to wozzle68 for the hunt.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there wozzle68. We found your cache "The Dam - Beckworth Beckons" at 12:20:00 PM today in the company of phetlern. This cache makes our find count 10235.
[Blue]
We thoroughly enjoyed our cache run today, it took us to some wild and wonderful places - and the scenic views from some spots were absolutely stunning despite the rain. We definitely wouldn't have found all these wonderful places if it weren't for our obsession.

We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious construction.[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2 metres from where the GPS said we should be looking. [:(!]
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Novelty Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,

Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

I enjoyed the method to locate the GZ, but finding the second cache took a lot longer than we wanted. We found it though, and continued on to the next in the series. TFTC.

TheRustyDuck and I head out here. We had quite a bit of trouble locating the cache after quickly finding WP1. We both were wondering around the GZ for quite while, but eventually with the use of a phone camera and a stick we were able to locate this.

Found wp1 and thankfully, I'd seen this type on youtube and worked out what was needed. Otherwise we'd have been in all sorts of trouble. Thanks again wozzle68, a nice multi with a twist, adding a fave

Bogonghazy and I arrived at WP1 to spot the cache on show. Unsure if any camo should have been covering it, but we suspect so, so we did cover it up after we left. I've come across these before in caches, it just took a moment for the memory banks to piece it all together. With the numbers then in hand, we headed off for the Final, GeoTess was having a great time spotting rabbits and chasing them whilst we were here. At GZ we seemed to wander back and forth and back and forth, but BH eventually called the magic words, we made our mark in the log and were on our way back to the car again. The Dam certainly wasnt as full as the photo in the description, and I suspect it will drop even more over the coming months with a long hot and dry summer forecast. Many Thanks to wozzle for all the variety that we are loving so far as we work our way through this series today. Adding another fave for effort here. I always enjoy a twist to a cache.

Damn fine use of the old fashioned geo-tape recorder. Quick WP inclusion into the GPS and short walk back to GZ. Logged and reloaded for the next cacher. Even shorter walk back to the car and off again. TFTC wozzle68.

# 7122. Robmc and I left Williamstown at 7.00am headed for the new series at Mt Beckworth. After reading a few logs saying how long they took and the trickiness of some of the hides I was filled with dread. Especially seeing the first simple one of the series was a DNF on the way in, after a very long search.

Our first multi and it was so green and fresh here compared to most of the rest of the area. Unfortunately, whilst we were admiring WP1 and deciding what to do with it, I was bitten by a very agressive bullant (and am still suffering 2 days later). We had seen something similar to this WP in Darwin but it is so neat and we enjoyed it again today.

Off to GZ for a quick find and on to the next one.

Thanks wozzle68

Worked a 12 hour night shift then picked up my chauffeur, and we drove straight to Mount Beckworth (when I say we, BettyBoo3747 did all the driving, and I did all the snoozing!)
We arived about 9am and spent about 5 hours (including lunch), travelling around doing the Beckworth Beckons series. An excellent collection of caches with quite a bit of variety.
The tide was out a bit on the dam today - not as much as your photo.
All the surrounding grass was very green though, which made a nice walk to the first way point.
BB did an interesting little dance at WP1 as she had a disagreement with a large bull ant!
The co-ords were quickly worked out as we have seen one of these before - nice puzzle though.
A quick find at GZ too.
Thanks, Robmc.

Enjoyed the walk through here but got muggled out big time by some very rude people.
Up in Ballarat today to visit family and to do this new series . The weather was shitty on the way up but thankfully we now have sunshine to enjoy this beautiful area.

Find No. 742. Found with FUF009 at 12.25pm

With FUF009 and our Geo dog Penny, we all headed off for a day's caching to do the Beckworth Beckons series which is a relatively new trail put out by Wozzle68 who we met for the first time at our events in October.

This was a new experience for us, we had not seen this method used before. Luckily FUF009 was with us and he knew what to do as we never had a clue.

We are always on the lookout for good ideas and this is one we will keep in the memory bank.

Took dog and cat. Left dog and dinosaur.

Find # 1743 @ 1225 H

After making a decision to spend the day caching together, I hitched a ride with Tyred n Cranky and their Geo dog Penny down to do this relative new series of caches.

I have heard of these ideas before but this was the first time I have found one.
We soon had the cords for the final and were off. While WP1 was easy to find at WP2 it took us some time to locate the cache.

Another one done today and we were going quite well. We were enjoying the variety of hides and the fact that there was no numbers to calculate to find this GZ.

Found on a hot day caching with Fergzter. This is such a nice camping area and it would be good to see the dam full. It was a great little multi and after a short search the cache was found and then a quick CITO was held. TFTC.

A nice quick multi that had a nice twist that I had only seen once before at Oz Mega Murray Bridge. The final cache took a few minutes to find due to cache blindness. Unfortunately some feral decided this area was perfect to dump their camping rubbish. Fortunately it was already bagged up so we had our own mini CITO and took the 10 or so bags of rubbish home with us.

A quick but well made multi. Thanks for the hide Wozzle68
