Bushranger Roberts Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia
By Gonefishen07 on 14-Mar-15. Waypoint GC5PC3B

Checked on this one today. Thanks to the burn off cache is gone.

Biggles Bear and I had a look for this one but I couldn't find it today. We checked the clue but this didn't help. My thanks to Gonefishen07 for placing it.

No luck today, thought it would be a quick grab given the hint but no luck. The area has been recently burnt off, I wonder if the cache got burnt off too? See photo attached.

Found it with bikesu.Tftc

Day 8 of our caravan trip going South from Queensland. Stopped at my birthplace Culcairn, NSW, and now enjoying Victoria.

Nice cache. As a rest stop on a Sunday ride

Found

Found at 11:33 AM GAFF1.
Started the series on my bike and it was all downhill from here [^]
Nice container in keeping with the theme of the cache name, but why was she a bushranger? Or is that a reference to Ned?
Thanks Gonefishen07.

Thanks for the bit of history on the area and how it came to be. We were a little bit disappointed that we couldn't spot a Koala, but happy to find the cache. Good to see a little bit of a theme with this one also. Thanks,

Last cache for us on the Island for these holidays!

With my wife off with the running crew until the early afternoon, the kids fast asleep recovering from a busy Christmas, I had the morning to myself to go caching. I had 2 plans, but with a FTF on offer, Phillip Island was the plan selected.

Parked here to visit this end of the trail, that I missed last visit. Nice quick find in the obvious place, and had the place completely to myself at 7.20am in the morning. Kookaburras are making a lot of noise this morning

Thanks for the cache Gone Fishen 07

Out with the CO today and had to pass here to check on one of her caches. Couldn’t resist a nice quick find. Loved the cute container.
Cheers Gonefishen07 for the cache and the fun day

Continuing on our adventure after attending the Alexandra Mega Event, we found ourselves spending a few days on Phillip Island. While we tried to take advantage of the many great places to see on the island, we were pre-occupied with trying to complete the qualifying requirements for a particular challenge cache we had signed in Ballarat prior to the Surf Coast Mega Event last year. It really does pay to check the finer details of a challenge cache before you decide to look for it We had thought you needed to have found 100 caches in Victoria, but it was only when we came to log it that we realised the 100 caches in Victoria had to have been placed by the same cache owner

Anyway, initially we thought we would complete the challenge by doing the Mt Disappointment caches, but then friends who knew we were heading to Phillip Island told us we would easily qualify for the challenge there, and they would be much more interesting caches Well they were quite interesting, and some of them were downright sneaky

In the end, we had an enjoyable couple of days exploring Phillip Island and finding a variety of cache hides, with some great walks along some of the beaches and other places

Thank you Gonefishen07 for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

TFTC. Signed and returned.

Back here today with my geo-friend to finish the Treasure Island series I started last week. We picked this one up on the way home. TFTC

Nice Hide

Thanks interesting

Just as rain delays can affect important events such as tennis or Test Matches, they certainly had an impact on our searching for Phillip Island caches today. The one thing we didn't find was a koala before it was time to return to camp.

Thanks Gonefishen07 for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Quick stop off this morning while we head back to our normal lifes we had a little laugh at the container very fitting. Tftc

Thanks

Nice cache

Found it! And we were back! The Walkabouters enjoyed the walk to Rhyll along the Inlet trail. We visited the mangroves, saw lots of birds but did not see any koalas. And I found most of the caches along the way. I will have to visit again and find the remaining caches of the series another day. We also spotted a couple of fairy hides with a fairy door at a nearby tree! TFTC Signed the log while having a cup of tea and chocolate biscuit under the shelter.

Found during our honeymoon trip. Almost 1 month driving through Australian country.
It was an amazing trip.
Thanks for this cache

Grazie Gonefishen07

I am going to visit a lot of different countries on my travel tour around the world! At the moment I am staying in Australia. Of course I also try to find some geocaches on my tour. So I have visited this Cache as well. It was a beautiful place which I reached by Van!
Thank you for hiding and best regards from somewhere in the world!!!

Found with sesblocker.
Great coords made for a quick find. We love the effort of this containers. It gets a fav!

A nicely hidden cache at a great walking track. Tftc

Appropriate cache . Log FULL..... Thanks GF07 FTC
Fav added.

We found where this one is hiding but GeoKids reasonably concerned about snakes. Think we'll come back to poke around at a leas snakey time of year!

Found by Mary & David at 1531. Filling in time between Events today. So glad to get away from the main road traffic. A wonder that Phillip Island doesn't sink in January under the weight of all the holiday tourists. This area is totally deserted though. Florence was quite a pioneer in her day. Our thanks to Gonefishen07.

Great

Love the camo and location. Thank god for geocaching and bringing us to these little known places

I like , out for a little walk this afternoon and of course a cache or 2, log book filling up but still a little space. Thanks for placing

Silvergang found it a nice walk from Jack cache

Ha ha just loved this!! Thanks

An after work caching visit, saw us on the Island with the view of getting some caches we had to pass up on our visit last week. We found this cache as a nice quiet drive by and noticed how quiet it is here on the Island during the week.

Thanks Gonefishen07 for this placement.

Out and about with my girls smashing some caches whilst my wife gets some zzzzzzz.
Very cool container, and love the song of the local kookaburras.
Cheers for the cache

Lovely afternoon for a stroll through the reserve with the geokids. Had no luck with spotting any koalas but the wallabies were out in force. Found the cache quickly, the kids loved it! TFTC!

Spent the weekend caching and Pokemon hunting. Love the cache Sl thanks Gonefishen07 for the cache.

Great location for a cache and was not disappointed with the find a favorite from me
Tftc

Did'nt have any luck spotting our beautiful little "drop bears" but Geo Hubby got a thrill pretending to be "Ned Kelly" when he found the cache...thanks for making his day Gonefishen....cheers 2 Grey Wombats..

BigD from Germany found it. Tftc

Out with cjfinda and family for a drive around the Island for cjfinda to fill in a few gaps....we stopped by this one a long time ago but never logged it. Signed the log again and logged the smilie this time! TFTC.

Found this one a long time ago and forgot to log it so returned today with matt_geo. Still loved it. TFTC.

Found quickly

What a great cache for the family! Really loved the creativity - geokid especially happy. Cheers!

After a big day which included visits to the Motor Museum, the Chocolate Factory and Churchill Island, we enjoyed stopping at this reserve on our way to Rhyll for the evening. A fun little cache - thank you Gonefishen07.

Fantastic hide but log was out, Make sure that you put the cap on

Great find. Found it after a walk around the reserve. TFTC

Stayed at Cowes Phillip Island for the weekend as my partner is teaching Auslan Sign Language at Culture Community Centre Cowes.
Love this cache.
Found it easy
Thanks Gonefishen07

Locked and loaded! Tftc!

Found it. Love the container. Ash, Zach ,Max & Dad.

Easy find with a huge hint from mansgirl.. Tftc

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.

Short-stuff had been staying with a friend down on the island, so I drove down to collect her. Between the temperature, which was climbing steadily closer to 40 degrees, and the result of several nights of 'sleepover' with minimal sleep (who'd have thought it?), the child was strangely averse to the idea of caching.



I managed to sneak this one in before we headed home... short-stuff was suitably impressed with the camo.



Thanks, Gonefishen07... I'll bring the bike down next time I visit the area, and do a proper day (or two or three) of caching.

TFTC, tin hat here.

A straightforward find of this well hidden cache. I particularly liked the artifact attached to the log. Tftc.

Always good to see inventive containers. TFTC

Over for the Melbourne Mega and collecting a few caches while in the area.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

TFTC

Thanks

Fun cache - sun starting to shine - great day tflc

Stopped at this cache while riding from Cowes to Rhyll. Definitely more interesting than going on the main road.

Suscoe's first find of the day on the way home.
All was quiet as we approached GZ.
Found the hide out.
Thanks to Gonefishen07 for placing this cache out here.

There was a couple there at same time as us. They were just standing doing nothing, as we were, hoping they would move on. Nope. We had to walk doen the track a bit, got ti the corner and turned back to see them getting in their car. Dunno if they were muggles or fellow cachers who were real quick to find. No log from today so I guess they were muggles.

Very clever hide thanks. SL

TFTC second fun day out with Tony66. Cute cache

It was a a bit late in the day, so we didn't go for a walk, just looked for the cache. It was a quick find and we were on our way again. Thanks for the hide.

Had to find this one as it's my name, but don't think that there any bushrangers in my past. Quick drive in, drive out on a quiet Friday afternoon. Coolest cache I have seen so gets a FAV, very appropriate. TFTC

Thanks for bringing us to this park. Another we hadn't been to before. We went for the longest walk we could but saw only a small wallaby & lots of birds. Cache found in good condition, thanks.

Clever cache. Finally found it.

A different style cache - but a relatively easy find in a quiet location.

We had a good idea where we were meant to go but one of the kids noticed a snake in the area. We ran out of there fast!!!

One of us braved the snakes and tried again... Just as we were looking at the cache, another snake slithered by....this place is dangerous...

Quick find with tassie expat. Tassie really really didn't want to get out of the car due to last few log entries, but my compass was a bit out and she got sucked in my he-man facade. Log in good condition. Tftc

Out helping frmen1 get his numbers up. Come for the ride/TB visit/to act as lookout and getting the occasional find. As we were driving there, I read to frmen1 (chauffeur) about the snake being spotted at gz. I told him that he had to get this one himself and sign it for me (I do all the spidery ones for him). His gps is not the most reliable and he was in the middle of the path. I bravely got out and directed him where to go. All was fine until he jumped/startled (pretending) when coming back with the cache and freaked me out (and that's when the fight started lol)

Quick draw. With geokid and Aquapearl.
Mob of wallabies around and a few muggles
Out on bike ride. Popular tracks now they've been graded

Wallabies around

Bigger than expected, quieter here than i expected too! Tftc!

Very nice container!! Was out in the open when I found it (I daresay wind played havoc with some of the covering camo). Signed cache and re-hid as best I could. TFTC!

We're down here for another little holiday before Easter & today we dropped MMelb off on a walk from F Oswin Robert Koala Reserve to Rhyll whilst we went caching!!
Once M set off on his walk we found this interesting hide.
TFTC Gonefishen - GJMMelb

Like the bush ranger theme tftc

Nearly foiled by a Troup of scouts... found it when they left. Nice hide. Tftc

We're going on a hunt, a FTF hunt. Got it. Nearly upstaged by a couple of bike riding muggles, but they didn't take too long to move on, and we continued with the hunt. TFTC GF07
