We saw that this one was disabled but that does not stop us, unless the CO tells us that the cache is missing we still take time to look. Hubby was up and down the ladder several times, we looked for the cache up high and then we looked from below and low and behold the cache was found. A message has been sent to the CO and soon we will send a photo as well.
The cache is there and it is waiting to be found by other. SL TFTC
 
27-Jan-20
We like the previous catchers had no luck despite the climb and clamber...needs a CO review.

Siiiiggghhhh!
Again.
I love this spot and this cache.
Dunno when I’ll be in the area next.
Hopefully soon.
Thanks everyone.
Cheers, safe travels and hoppy caching =]

Really cool spot! However unfortunately a DNF today.
 
28-Jun-19
Spent a while with sims_family searching high and low, but to no avail. TFTH.
 
11-May-19
Went up and couldn’t see
 
20-Feb-19
It’s not exactly the same, it’s not perfect, but it will do.
It didn’t come with a log so I had to make do and it’s not ideal, tweezers might be advantageous. I’ll attempt to fix it in the near future.
There has been some work done here inbetween visits, hole filling and stuff.
Please TAKE CARE with this cache and be mindful of your surroundings!
Enjoy =]
 
05-Feb-19
Drove the 500km round trip to check on this guy.
Nowhere to be found.
This cache is now irreplaceable. I can’t find the exact container I used for sale anymore.
I’ll do my best to get at least a similar replica and return again.
It’s too good of a spot to loose.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!
You can’t rush everything.
Cheers, safe travels and hoppy caching =]

A nice view from the top,

No caches found though !!
I got back down before I got dizzy and fell off Razz
 
27-Jan-19
Looked hi and low and no go.

No luck finding this one, good view though
 
09-Sep-18
Returning to Camperdown after a weekend in Melbourne...I grabbed some caches along the way. I spent a couple me hours in Inverleigh enjoying a good walk while grabbing caches. The second disappointment of the walk...I climbed and looked...I came back down and hunted in the long grass but no cache was found.
 
11-Jun-18
while down visiting family from Newcastle. Brother and I went out for a day of caching. Could not find this one. Looked high and low will try next time we visit
cheers team wooness
 
16-May-18
After walking in mud and climbing under a bridge I grabbed this cache on the way home. I came to the cache because of haw many favorite points it has. When I got to GZ I was happy with what I saw, Up I went and I looked and spun and looked and spun and spun and looked.....nothing.... down I went, looked up, nothing.... Up again looked looked looked spin spin spin looking looking nothing.... Sad face. Went back down took some photos, looked in the grass and guess what I found. Signed the log and placed back up there. Maybe want to have a look to see if it's in the right spot Frog_Lady. Thanks for the fun.
 
28-Apr-18
I climbed up until I had exceeded my 2.5 terrain capability but no sign of the cache at that level. Need to revisit with someone braver than me. This is turning into a really bad day as this is my third DNF for the morning. Just as well I only have the morning to cache as other plans for the afternoon.
 
10-Mar-18
TFTC nice area to come back and camp for a few days.
 
25-Feb-18
Good view. Tftc.
 
25-Jan-18
Heading home from Melbourne we were diverted off the Ring Rd and down the Hammo hwy due traffic congestion. Oh well, we had better stop at Inverleigh to do some of the awesome caches we had read about. We ended up spending around 2hrs here.

Well this was a challenge. Found it and then lost it in the tall grass. That was like finding a needle in a hay stack but found it eventually we did. Then to get it back again.
 
01-Jan-18
Second attempt but we found it
 
25-Oct-17
No luck today. But i WILL be back with assistance and an extra set of eyes one day!
 
01-Oct-17
Pretty cool. Took a while. People passed by. Nobody asked any questions.
 
01-Oct-17
Took a while to find this one, but we spotted it eventually - from the ground

TFTC
 
24-Sep-17
Great to be up high, with windmill blades whirling right in front of your face on a windy day. Geokid made comments such as "that was awesome" and "that was so cool" and "I was so freaked out" so TverymuchFTC!
 
02-Aug-17
Love the idea. Of course had to get my walker geofriend to climb for me as i obviously cant do it with my wheelchair lol...
 
02-Aug-17
Best cache so far.

Found during a road trip to Bellarine with becca85, neisha07 & GemmaSistema. Lots of fun! TFTC!
 
06-Jul-17
I saw the fave points here and so we decided to grab one more before continuing on to our destination.
Gem made the find, threw it down to me who threw it back up but not quite high enough and we almost lost it in the tall grass!
Found again and up went neisha07 who had been chomping at the bit to have a climb and she passed it back to Gem.
A great little adventure and opportunity for some cheeky pics.

School Holidays = Road trip time with GemmaSistema and the geo-kids (AKA Team Clarmensma).
This time it was off to Bellarine.
Day 1 saw us detour via Inverleigh for a handful then after setting up camp, we headed out with quite group for a triple attack on local night caches. Lots of fun! TFTC
 
06-Jul-17
A geo road trip with the kids and becca85 and her crew saw us targeting some caches in and around Inverleigh. What a gorgeous little town. Our last one for the morning - what a stunning location. I made the climb and it took a while to spot the cache but was super chuffed when I did. Adding another fav here - loved it. Many thanks for the great cache.
 
04-Apr-17
No luck spotting this one today.
 
22-Mar-17
Found after getting up close and personal with this one. Watch your head though as it still spins! The cache was soon spotted and logged, thanks Frog Lady for the hide.

Enjoy caching around with crank1.
Love it here...
great cache and spot
Thanks Frog Lady for bring me here and cache.
 
11-Mar-17
I read up on this one before I came here but it still took a minute or two. I had a good look and after a while spotted the clever hide.
 
01-Mar-17
Day One of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I headed towards Hamilton. Straight off night shift for me meant that BB did all the driving. I did wake up for all the caches though (and lunch!)
Between BB and myself we went up the ladder three times before the cache was spotted! Luckily, it wasn't high.
Nice title and hide.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
01-Mar-17
#11526. Day 1 of our holiday heading towards South Australia. Today it was Melbourne to Hamilton via a lot of caching stops. Robmc was just off night shift so dozed between finds while I did the driving. A good day of some interesting hides and 26 smilies added.

A great spot and a forelorn looking windmill. Fortunately it has a great ladder. I was absolutely wrong as to where I thought the hide would be. Rob climbed and returned empty-handed, I climbed and ditto and then he climbed again and from below I spied what might be a likely-looking container. BINGO! Yippee! Another smilie added this morning. Nice cache name also.

Thanks Frog_Lady

Another warm but overcast day promising very hot northerly conditions. Thankfully they did not eventuate at this location. Feeling for any "firefighters" if the shyte hits the fan.

Visiting here after visiting a sick friend. So had to see what was about.

Nice wander along the river bank and under a bridge to a pair of water pumps.

Great sneaky little hide well worth a fav. point from us. Excellent camo.

Excellent job Frog Lady.

Some beautiful views from GZ, we really enjoyed this cache, even seen some cute little pony's (and a donkey) in carts go by. TFTC

Love this cache. Cool spot to hide it and needed brisal5 for retrieval. TFTC Frog_Lady.
 
14-Nov-16
Having been in Anglesea for the Mega it was time to start heading for home. This has been on my watch list for a while, since I couldn't find it.... But today all sorted.
Thanks
 
14-Nov-16
Day 6 of my week long visit to Victoria. Cool
Time to head home. I came over with AnyMules but he left for home yesterday. Aussie M&M have kindly offered me a lift and mogni will be coming part way with us. The GOTHS are still together!
Decided to come along the GOR for a little while before heading inland. A very big detour to correct a DNF from 15 months ago. Razz Last time I went up and down this contraption about four or five time without success.
This time it was a very, very different story Surprised
Very quickly seen whilst still making the climb. hadn't really started looking and I spotted it! Smile
Thanks Frog Lady. Big Grin That is one that I will never have to climb again. (Maybe)

11-Nov-16
And on the Seventh day of my geocaching holiday I reached 7000 finds! I thought today would have ben a bit more relaxing, but since I had ran out of power trail caches (only 14 of them today) I had to travel around a fair bit. Inverleigh, Teesdale, Bannockburn, Lake Conneware and the last bit of the G2Q trail to find the last 62 caches.
And the big buld up to my milestone find was a let down as I found out from a recent log that the cache was missing! So I had to make another descision on what cache it would be.
In the end I had time on my bike and lots of airconditioned car driving to make the trip easier.

Thanks for all the caches!Cool
 
10-Nov-16
Found your cache !
Caching with bech we started our geocaching road trip and we found one of your caches along the way
cheers

We are on our way to the surf coast event !


Loved this one but is sure did scare me a bit ! After Bech informed me she was afraid Of ladders it was up to me !
Fernweh*
 
10-Nov-16
Best cache I've found thanks.
 
23-Oct-16
Heading home from Warrnambool, gave me the time to stop and grab a few of the roadside stops, that I don't have time to get. I hate heights but I wasn't going to let this defeat me, so thankfully it was an easy retrieval once in place. The car that passed by, may have wondered what I was up too.Wink
Thanks Frog_Lady for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

This one took much longer to find than it should have, but we have enjoyed the attractive riverside drive getting here, and the river is running quite high from all the recent rain. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
 
09-Oct-16
In the district to pick up a few local caches and managed a quick easy find here.

Thanks Frog Lady for this placement.
 
28-Aug-16
Took a geo-adventure with Bogonghazy, SorceySal and the geodogs. Fantastic adventure with lots of caching along the way. Big thanks to SS who did all the calculations and drove. BH and I did the searching and digging. What turned into a lovely day presented us with a large haul and great fun. Made BH climb for this one but I spotted it from the ground. Gorgeous area. Thanks for adding to our adventure.
 
28-Aug-16
Out and about with Bogonghazy, Leetalicious and of course Tess and Work to give the new geo vehicle a bit of a test. It behaved beautifully on these roads. As I had solved the puzzles, it was only fitting that BH and LL did the running. That was my reasoning anyway. LOL

BH made the climb as LL spotted it from the ground. A nice area for a walk with the dogs. Thanks for the cache Tara (no frogs in sight today)
 
28-Aug-16
Out and about for the day with Sorceysal, testing her new Rav4's limits, also Leetalicious, and of course the 2 geodogs just had to come along for the ride/run.

LL spotted this from the ground after I'd scaled the contraption all the way to the top.
Clever placement, and a really beaut spot on the river.
Thanks Frog Lady
 
24-Jul-16
Cause I don't like heights I sent hubby Wespro up there but it was me that spotted it from the ground. Nice location. I've never driven along the river here before. It's really beautiful
 
23-Jul-16
Out to Inverleigh for a friends gathering (indoors - the weather turned the BBQ into a casserole lunch). But hey, bad weather never slowed down mad cachers, did it? Now, I didn't expect to have to exert myself that much! Thanks heaps, Frog Lady!
 
14-Jul-16
Second time looking for this one, was very scary up there today being so windy. Nice little camo Tftc
 
13-Jul-16
A nice easy find after making it to GZ only to realise I had left the pen in the truck. It meant I needed to climb back down, walk back to the truck sign the log then make the climb again. Still a fun and different cache TFTC
 
06-Jul-16
Great spot for a cache. We came here to grab a few caches as we were going crazy sitting inside on this drizzly day. Wandered along and grabbed a nearby cache, picked up a couple of bags of rubbish along the way and then all took a turn at climbing this structure to enjoy the view. Thanks for placing a cache here.
 
25-Jun-16
Found with Mum, Dad and Eddie.
I had a great day driving around the area.
We saw some cool caches and lots of birds.
Thanks for the hides.
 
25-Jun-16
Found with the family.
We had fun driving all around the area.
It was pretty quiet as it was cold and wet out.
The caches were fun to find.
Thanks for hiding them.
 
25-Jun-16
We got a clear but cold Winters Saturday so we headed out after lunch for some geocaching.
The Waurn Ponds area was our target and we meandered home through Winchelsea and Inverleigh.
The cache was a nice find and we enjoyed the spot.
Karen did the retrieval then dropped the cache. Though we saw where it fell it was 5 mins of searching and then some weeding before we found the cache again! Ben put it back and took some photos of the beautiful windmills.
 
12-Jun-16
Amazing! The hint was very accurate. TFTC, Brainiac03
 
12-Jun-16
Pickled Ginger was invaluable at this GZ, with a better skill set to procure this cache than yours truly. A fun little find and we were happy to be the ones to fill the last spot on this log! Brilliant hide. Thanks for bringing us here. Cheers!
 
04-Jun-16
Found with McLookers, I did the climb. Cool camo. Thanks Frog-Lady.

Great hide in a great spot, thanks Frog Lady.

Out with AutumnCS and the geokids today and stopped to pick this one up. AutumnCS saw it so had to go get it. I got to take photos and laugh. Great spot and a great cache. Fav point from me. TFTC.
 
28-May-16

Found while in town doing a winery tour, I enjoyed the walk to this one and GZ had a great view.Thanks for the cache.
 
17-May-16
Found it! Smile
 
15-May-16
After finishing the nearby night cache, I wasn't going home without attempting this hide. Luckily there was no wind tonight, didn't fancy getting an impromptu haircut !! Has no trouble with the find, pity about it being dark. That meant I didn't get to enjoy the view. Thanks for showing me this great little place. TFTC Frog_Lady Smile
 
15-May-16
A great choice for cache placement. Fortunately I spotted the cache before I got there. Log signed and cache returned. I enjoyed the view as well. Thanks Frog_Lady for bringing me here.
 
14-May-16
Geokid especially loved this cache. He spotted it and then relished the retreival! Another find by the McPhail family
 
24-Apr-16
Just as you did to hide this cache I looked at my GPS and saw it was close by so I had to detour to find it. Lovely location with another spinning machine close by.
Enjoyed the challenge and soon found the cache.
TFTC Frog Lady

Thank you for this little hide. Geo girl loved this little one

On a mission to explore the underground world in Skipton, we were spun around by this baby on our journey! The cache was soon in hand and our name in the log, sadly there was no sign of a coffee or a tasty muffin!

Our thanks to Frog_Lady for bringing us to this location.

Was not hard to find if you look you see it easy
 
22-Mar-16
What a great cache, became a little scary when a gust of wind set things in motion. Thnx for the tool to assist with the cache I was having trouble finding until I looked for something unusual.
 
05-Mar-16
A very enjoyable grab. TFTC.

Today we travelled around the countryside, enjoyed the road trip, some walks and finding a few caches. Finally, we made it to this spot, between the Leigh River and a lot of bio-dynamic vegetables. We were pleased to find the twin tower spinning and pumping, though this one moved just a little. Suss ascended here quickly, overshot her goal but soon corrected the elevation where to search. She had not brought her log retrieval tool with her, so we had to take the container to the Wings to complete the signing duties. This way, the vulture also had an opportunity to soar and return the container to its natural habitat.
Thank you for bringing us back to this lovely area Frog_Lady! This first hide is worth a favourite point.
Now, to eat some nibbles we brought for lunch: The confluence is not far. Who cares about the drizzle? It's our day out, and the sun shines from within when we can be out and about.

Once again continuing my quest to visit as many 2015 Victorian Geocache of the Year Award nominees as possible before the event on 27 February, find out more at the [event page](http://coord.info/GC679HV).
I was certainly up to this one, nice location.
**Thanks for placing this cache Frog_Lady**

*Congratulations on another worthy nomination and a favorite for sure.*
 
14-Feb-16
O. M. G. That was so awesome. Went a bit too far though. I now understand what the tool is actually for.

Thank you for a truly marvelous hide.
 
Awesome hide! Love it. Had to send geofriend to retrieve! Smile
 
13-Feb-16
Such a great cache! So fun! Love the little geo symbol on there! Couldn't find the retrieving tool so could not get the log out to sign.. But still so happy to log this one here Smile
 
12-Feb-16
Found by Mary & David at 1650. We were on a roundabout way home from Kinkell's funeral in Ballarat. Lovely weather, and we're working our way through some of the COTY nominations before voting time. D doesn't like heights, and M had very unsuitable shoes, so D drew the short straw. Not as bas as we'd feared, so a favourite from us. Our thanks to Frog_Lady.
 
08-Feb-16
very very clever well done Smile went right to top and looked everywhere
 
08-Feb-16
Know the cache owner we thought this would be well worth the visit. We after the climb up the view was great. Not quite sure I was under the weight limit to be up there but it didn't fall down. Both the dogs were quite confused as to what I was doing up there. Thanks Frog_Lady for a great cache
 
07-Feb-16
Found It.......While out on a Sunday drive with the Geo Son on L plates we were on a mission to place another set of caches in our new and evolving Little Angels series and after placing a couple of them we wound up in Inverleigh while on our 250 km trip and after seeing that this one was back online we headed over to it. After pulling up at GZ Geo Hubby was very excited to see that it was a "Bryan Mill" tower and head as one of his uncles was part of the family that use to own and manufacture them (they are still made today by a different family in Colac) and the Geo Hubby worked on repairing and installing them some years later. So after having a quick lesson on the difference between a Bryan Mill and a Southern Cross mill, I sent Geo hubby "up". After a quick climb he was standing at the top looking everywhere until he spied something out of the ordinary so back down he went and soon after had the log. So with the log signed and replaced we continued on our journey. Thanks Frog_Lady for the cache and bringing us here P.S. we are giving it a FAV point
 
30-Jan-16
TFTC. Signed and returned.
I think you can have a favorate from me just because
I had a laugh when hubby had to do the climb.
 
24-Jan-16
Nice and easy in a lovely spot. Tftc
Pete
 
18-Jan-16
All good to go again =D
Same container but different/wrong colour.
Should make it easier to find. Hopefully by no muggle eye though.
Sorry for the delay.
I shall get an exact replacement ASAP. But for now, this one is better than nothing.
Go find and enjoy =]
It's a lovely little area.
Very excited to be nominated for the Vic Cache of the Year Awards!
I'd be SO STOKED if I won.
Good luck.
Cheers, safe travels and hoppy caching!
 
14-Jan-16

There has been a mishap here.
I can't attend to it in the very near future.
Sorry for the DNF's.
Cheers!

Up and down we went so many times but couldn't find this little bugger. It was a breezy day so it was a little creepy being up there with it spinning.
 
23-Aug-15
Damn we looked and looked again and even phoned a previous finder but still no luck Sad
Hopefully it is still there and we are just blind.
