I was in Sunbury for an appointment today so seized the opportunity! I had the mtb on the car but the weather was horrid & that's where it stayed.This was #3 and took me a wee while to retrieve but eventually I did! Very clever. Many thanks

Found a bit of a metal loop, but no geocache attached. Looked in all the nooks and crannies, but to no avail.
 
21-Mar-24

Out caching in Sunbury of this hot 32 degree day. Crazy right. A quick find here luckily I didn't have to walk too far to my car before the sun cooked me. Nice cache TFTC.
 
16-Jan-24
Idk where this cache is

The previous day Donutholes notified me that he had a day free. So we made plans the following day to grab a few caches around Sunbury.Who knew it was going to be 36, but it added to the days caching entertainment.This one had Donutholes taking one for the team to locate the well hidden hide. Log signed and replaced as found.Thanks for the traditional cache Team Ladava #7,745

AusFox and I decided to meet up and cache the area to collect a bunch of Adlabs, trads and multis. The temperature was sitting at a nice 35 degrees but that didn't stop us... Just slowed us down a little :pThis one was a tricky lil one but I like what you did here. FP from me. Thanks for placing for us all to enjoy SmileA wise man once said "Do whatever sprinkles your Donut"
 
27-Dec-23
Due to the number of DNFs I have added a hint

Caching on Christmas Day has been somewhat of a disappointment. I was on my hands and knees for 20 minutes with my torch out but couldn't make the find here after checking practically every spot. 5 for 9 today as I'm hoping to get at least a couple more before the sun goes down.
 
08-Dec-23
Visiting Melbourne from Port Macquarie.In the Sunbury area for a couple days.The wind picked up massively during our search, we persevered and soon spotted the hide in a very sneaky spot.Thanks for the cache
 
31-Oct-23
Very sneaky but eventually we signed the log at 3pm. Worth a fave point from us.thanks Team Ladava
 
04-Oct-23
Real hard one, don't know if it is still there
 
02-Jul-23
Tricky one but aligned with my expectations, so made it easier. TFTC
 
21-May-23
Well bugger!! I'm on to your styles of caches Team Ladava but this one has me stumped. I'll be back another day.
 
20-May-23
Just can't find it

Back up to Sunbury this afternoon to hopefully get my geocaching mojo back on track as apart from the Mega I haven’t been out to much as work has gotten in the way of to many things.
It has been awhile since I have been up this way and quite a few green dots have appeared on my map since then so time to rectify that as well.
I came back up this way after work to finish a few more off and to hopefully turn a frown to a smile from back in January.
I picked a great afternoon to do this one with the constant showers happening.
A quick find this time after the long search and interruptions from last time.
Ge I thought I looked there but the sneaky cache showed it’s self.
I would love to have a look inside some of the old buildings but I did watch a play in the old boiler house theatre a few years ago.

A fav goes out to you for the clever and sneaky cache.

Thanks Team Ladava TFTC.

Blink and you’ll miss it

This is a very clever hide which had us tricked for a while We looked in the obvious spot, expanded the search area, contractor the search area. looked up, down, around. Eventually Echidna44 looked a bit harder and the little green beastie was found.
 
13-Apr-23
Boabtree and I had a very successful day caching in the Sunbury area.
A tricky hide, well concealed. A favourite point, thanks Team Ladava.

The Whittlesea Mega has been on and off for a long time due to that rotten COVID-19. The sad part is that due to MND I really think this could be my last Mega but I am in the area for a week thanks to my two great SA friends who travelled from SA visiting Ballarat for a couple of days and then moved down to Geelong only to pick me up and we are staying in Craigieburn for a week and then they are taking me back to Geelong. It’s generosity like that Geocaching folk are renowned for, plus all the help that I have received in the past few days which I will be forever grateful.
This guy was found, signed last November 2022 with my two SA friends who were looking after the ageing Bushfire.
Thanks for placing and looking after this cache. I am slowly getting a few more of these caches logged but for how long I really don't know depends on the body.
The good news is that my MND is slowing down a little so I am working on going to the Rutherglen Mega. Time will tell, thanks to Team Ladava for placing this guy.

Spent about 20 minutes, checked in every hole, no sign of it
 
23-Feb-23
In town with Rebel Acts to put some smiles on the map, haven’t been to Sunbury in years.

I’m sure there was a point some time ago when I had all the caches around here, but it’s great to see so many new ones out.

Had a great day with heaps of laughter and caching fun, cheers for the cache
 
23-Feb-23
Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles. We decided to head over to Sunbury to do the new Adventure tabs and a few caches in the area. It’s hard to believe the last time I was here was in 2014 some eight years ago and it must be thirteen years ago that I saw Team Ladava when they came to Warburton to help set up a cache for me, that cache is still in play.

This is one of the caches found today. We could only imagine the horrors that went on here, despite that we loved the buildings and the caches. This was a tough one to find, the trick was shine some lite on the situation.

Thanks Team Ladava for the cache.

 
13-Feb-23
A quick check revealed everything is as it should be but I will increase the difficulty rating and add a hint.
 
22-Jan-23
With security driving really slow past me twice while lying on the ground I am sad to put a DNF on this one.
Hopefully it is there and security just scared me off for looking more closely.

Thanks Team Ladava TFTC.
 
Looked everywhere for the cache even dug around in the holes of the tree but could not find it even after spending 20+ minutes looking. Think it is currently MIA but we will be back soon. DNF

Searched and searched and searched but no luck.

Great drive though.

Awesome history too
 
22-Nov-22
I came and searched for your D1.5/T1.5 Traditional today, but it didn’t reveal itself to me.

We found what appeared to be the right spot given all the spoiler photos in other logs, but the container could not be found - it seems to be missing.

Whittlesea Mega Wobble and Wade Tour: Day 9: We went to Sunbury for the afternoon Surprised

Once again myself and Anymules were in Victoria on our way to a Mega event. Wink We made a detour via Geelong and picked up Bushfire. It had been three years since we last all cached together. [^] Today we set out for Sunbury for the afternoon with a pub meal at the local pub. Razz Many caches were found and unless something stood out these will be generic logs. Cool

We thoroughly search the obvious spot but couldn't find it. Sad You pwned us noobs Red FaceRed Face

***Thanks Team Ladava for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin
