Had a look for this one before a near by event. No luck. Had a chat with a fellow cacher at the event and got some clues but still no luck 
Event day today. Just some time for a short run up to Heywood for a few caches.
Not a good start to the day. Searched for a while but no cache did I find.
Thanks, Robmc.

Thought about this for a time, then when the brain cleared I was able to locate the cache. Good one!
Finally I was able to get back on the road, after 2 years and 3 cancelled trips. 7 days on the road, into SA and back to VIC via Mildura. Portland was the first destination, the second time I have stayed here. Was good to be able to take a good look around this time.
#12 today.
A quick find at a deserted hall. School pick up was starting as I was leaving, people everywhere.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with Sparrow who nearly lost her mind retrieving the log. So funny. SL & TFTC!
Quiet Winter's day and not raining yet so a quick search and signed. Intact. Thankyou for the cache and the challenge. Cheers
In Portland for the day and thought we'd do a quick cache on the way home. Took us a bit in the dark but finally found the goods after expanding our search, silly gps didn't help.tftc
A nice quick grab after pondering the hint for a while. I think I overwrought that hint. TFTC
The clues are very helpful and having it pore down while I was doing it didn’t help , but being a public holiday helped heaps as there was no one around , P.S The bottom of the case is missing or I am just blind in the rain - can someone please fix it
Thank you
Thank you
Sat at the picnic table enjoying the lunch & guessing where the cache might be. Previous logs helped us to the right spot. Log signed.
On a little getaway with my boys from Bendigo. Clever hide. Spent a bit of time at the corner of the courts before expanding.
Last found cache of the day on my way home from Portland with my muggle friend. TFTC!
On the first day of the GSWW, and first cache. Very quiet and I looked in the right spot before coming back there. Geo sense was a little off. Thanks for the cache.

A 5 day caching run, over the 2020/2021 New year period saw me leave on the Thursday the 31st of December and travel to the Brisbane Ranges, down to Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland, the up to Heywood, Dunkfield and Horsham, camping along the way. On the Saturday I met up with my caching partner, ilukaperi at the home of choocknchunk, where we spread the coronavirus around as much as we could. Enjoyed some 4wding around the Mt Cole area before making our way back home on the Monday.
So I spent New Year’s Eve by myself on the shores of Lake Elingamite, sipping on a glass (or plastic cup) of red wine and watching the sunset on 2020. Good riddance I say! I got up early and cached my way from there, through Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Portland before finding my camp for the night at Annya Camp. A lot of variety of cache types and some good ground covered too.
I too, was left near the tennis courts and after too much time hunting at that location, I moved further a field and after looking over the hiding location initially, I returned after a while and kicked myself. Clever, I like the subterfuge, very clever.

A beautiful day to be out exploring and we collected some caches along the way. We headed out to Heywood, in and out of the Cobobonee but we didn't quite get to where were heading.
Our first for the day and we were pleased the children remained in class while we were there. Our coordinates had us near the tennis courts but Mr Morris persisted in the place he thought it must have been. Eventually he unearthed it.
Thanks for the cache South-West

First cache of the day. School was just in next door. Easy enough find. I know my 60's music. Cheers
Day 162 (Saturday 6th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Portland today. A total of 5 for the day and 2758 for the trip. TFTC
last report is of damage and the owner hasn’t responded so could just be gone or something. searched for a good half hour and nothing.
When we arrived there was an oldies event just finishing, so we parked the car and went for a walk. After a bit of a search we found the cache on the ground with the log exposed and saturated. Plastic bag was non existent. So we took your container and added a small preformed tube with a new log as a temporary solution until you can rectify the situation.

Found it but unfortunately it’s taken some damage, I’ve put it all back in it’s right spot, paper is wet so took a photo of the spot
Found It.........While down in the area today after buying some Roses from out the road we decided to get some out of the way caches. After pulling up the search started but with MrH_3's gps not wanting to work it was up to MrsH_3 to make the find, So with the log signed we continued on our journey. Thanks South-West for the cache.
Another smiley adding to our no of finds today.
Found with The X-Trailers and 3LG.

Found it...after a long search!
The cache was not as small as we thought it would be and it was a little abnormally shaped...to what we expected.
Great hide!

School Holiday time. I joined becca85, GemmaSistema, boo09, Ad & Luke for a roadtrip from Maryborough to Mount Gambier to the Glow worms and back again. So much fun. Thanks for the cache. 
School Holiday time so we formed our Clarmensma family team and headed to Mount Gambier then home via glow worms for a mini road trip.
Lots of fun had on our trip. Sorry for late, generic logging. TFTC

School holidays yet again which means we form Team Clarmensma (myself, GemmaSistema, boo09, neisha07, AdamSistema & LukeSistema), choose a destination and off we go.
Mount Gambier was the chosen location this time with a 3 days trip, ending in a detour via the Otways to see some Glow worms. Lots of km traveled and caches found. A fun getaway yet again. TFTC

Amazing what communities are up side roads!
School holidays means a geocaching road trip for Team Clarmensma (me, becca85 and our 4 geokids - AdamSistema, LukeSistema, neisha07 and boo09). This time we headed west to Mount Gambier for a few days of exploring. Over the 3 days we did lots of kilometres travelling from Ballarat/Maryborough across to the Mount and then back via the Otways. We really appreciate all the teams who put caches out for us to find as without you there would be no geocaching! So many many thanks!
