Literally parked next to it like a Maccas drive-thru - what a stroke of luck! TFTC
TFTC docNwitchjy your cache Once Upon a Upotipotpon that we found today. It seemed appropriate that this was our first find for the New Year. We had been here previously but could not locate anything. We then returned home to Queensland. Today we headed out from our daughters farm block nearby and quickly made the find.Find Count: 17437 .
Out and about today. Thought i would have a look for this one.Mission accomplished. TFTC
Thanks docNwitchjy, out this way while farm sitting at Gooram. Couldn’t resist finding a cache here! Nice hide. Found with Jimmytherat
TFTC docNwitchjy. Great place for a cache. Thanks for bringing us to this very memorable location. What a name! Jimmytherat with Noelle04
Shepparton is an area that we often drive through but has never been a destination. This Kings birthday long weekend we made it our destination to tick off some caches in the area
Nice easy find, but took a little longer than expected as a local farmer was heading his sheep down the road

Forward go for a drive as I was out this way for work today and thought we would come back and grab this one TFTC
On a very freezing day, plenty of water in surrounding paddocks. Thanks for the cache
Heading away for a few days around Warrnambool. It was some lovely cooler weather, so decided to meander along some of the back roads and we found some great hides and types along the way.
We stopped off here and the replace container was soon in hand.
Thanks docNwitchjy for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

I was pottering through this oddly named locality today.
Part of me pottering involved a pot-stop to find me a cache
There was an obvious spot to pot a cache here
The cache, or remains of a cache, were soon spied upon a Upotipotpon time
With a new container to pot the cache contents,
I happily continued me potterings
TFTC !!

First find of the day with a quick stop. Container is very broken and needs replacing. Surprisingly the log book was in good shape. Tftc
Hurried find as a huge thunderstorm was bearing down upon us... Container is totally shattered, plastic bag still keeping it together..TFTC

TeamOZCAT left Albury Wodonga Thursday to cache Bendigo district, and some on route. The Smiley series was one, as well as some Adventure Lab and others. We thank all CO's for placing and maintaining their respective caches, and if there were issues, we would have messaged CO with details.
Wanted to find a cache that hadn’t been found for 12 months & success I’ve had. Thanks for bringing me here. Log a little damp still singable. Just put it inside a plastic pocket. TFTC!
A nice sunny morning in Beechworth so we headed off to Shepparton for some caching.
Been ages since BettyBoo3747 and I have been here.
Not quite so sunny out West, but some nice caches all the same.
Plenty of grass is not such a good description atm, but at least it is getting a bit of green to the paddocks.
Interesting information on the area.
Thanks, Robmc.

We have been wanting to come here for ages... we love the name too... and what a journey!
Too hard to tell but we made it just on sunset... beautiful.
And you guessed it there's nothing here except an intersection, but it's got a sealed road!!
TFTC and a journey that we did not anticipate to take this long this afternoon.

After a fantastic weekend at the Mt Buller event then a detour to Yarrawonga I am caching around the Benalla Violet Town area I have known of this locality for more than 60 years as a boarder from here was at school with me and the name made an unforgettable impression. This is my first visit here so thanks for putting me in the picture TFTC docNwitchy
This one has been on our to do list for some time so today we had a day
in the area. Made a quick find thanks for bringing us here today another spot we have not been to. Signed an replaced TFTC.

After returning yesterday from a 3 day road trip to Dubbo for work, you'd have maybe thought that I'd have had enough of driving around the gorgeous Australian countryside...Ummm....NO! [^]
Being Saturday it was too good a chance to miss getting out in Harry and putting him through his paces now that he is back in Victoria and so we loaded up Brodie and dalerious and off we headed
What a fun and exciting day![^]
It's a rare day lately when every cache that I look for is found
(not for want of looking!) and today was that rare day when 12 caches were looked for and all 12 caches were found Including 3 FTFs
Having DNFd this cache a while ago, I'd contacted the CO and offered to replace it for them however they stated they would check this themselves .
Having seen the maintenance log, I knew that I was going to find the cache this time [^] and so tonight, I convinced the boys that they really did need to take me to Upotipotpon
At GZ the cache was a very quck find in a spot that I really did check last time
Thank you for replacing the cache so that it can still be found [:X]

I'd had my eye on a multi since it had been published and so tonight I decided that a hard day at work had entitled me to take a therapeutic drive in the country for some R&R [^]
I attempted to find 6 caches but had 2 DNFs
with only 4 
finds then returned to the caravan well after 1am [)]
Sadly I didn't find the new multi and I'm guessing that FTF will have gone by the time I return to Vic from my first weekend home in Adelaide in 6 months.
DNF! I finally managed to get into this spot and spent almost an hour searching using the hand held sun, a garden trowel, a mirror and my hands but all to no avail
There seems to have been a fair bit of water through here and even tonight, I was walking in it in places.
I have been fascinated by this name every time I see it (maybe it's just potty humour
) and have wanted to find this cache for years now.
Hopefully another time

Unfortunately no find for us we searched high and low for quite awhile and were dissapointed as previous logs say it was a quick easy find, maybe it has gone:( We will try again another time
A quick and easy drive by while we were in the area. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
I like it
Another one off the list

What a lovely spot for a geocache. Loved the spot and it was a beautiful spring evening, which helped. Thanks for the cache.
E has been wanting to come here for awhile as the name got him in so thanks DocWitchery. L S.
# 9558. A beautiful Spring day to travel the countryside again trying to get smilies for at least two multi-caches so that I can complete a Challenge. Hoping to gather up a few traditionals along the way.
I love this name too. I have used it in one of my puzzle caches. This one has always been a little too far off the radar when Rob and I are traipsing about but today I decided to continue to this one as I had already spied Upotipotpon on a letterbox. Will include a photo. The letterbox was a long way from where this cache is hidden however.
The hide here led me a merry dance before I finally discovered it where I had put my hand 3 times already. Signed log at 11.00am. Another giant of a tree that is pretty impressive on the roadside. The sheep in the opposite paddock were extremely interested in my goings on! Left one of my new Phryne - Cloche pathtags today. The cache and contents were dry in their snug hiding place.
Thanks docNwitchjy

Travelling around Australia from Pert. Staying in Shepparton for a few days, out caching around nearby towns today. Many thanks for the great caches.
There must have been a property around here with this name in times gone by, but looks like it has been divided up and sold off now. We too found the cache with quite a lot of water in it. Tipped it out, sent a few items to CITO and dried all the rest. SL at 3.40pm TNLN. Replaced it in a slightly different place and covered well. Hope the new position keeps it drier. #2956 TFTC docNwitchjy - we love the name also.
Spotted this cache in planning a trip from Melbourne to Albury. Loved the name and made it a detour. The cache was full.of water so I tipped it out. Log was dry still. Tftc
I was surprised to see Upotipotpon in this area. I used to live in a neighbouring district and had never heard anyone mention Upotipotpon before. I recall the name being mentioned many years ago and for some reason I thought it was in South Australia! Thank you for the cache and bringing this unusual name back into my thoughts. The cache was in very good order.
Gifted cache with Smiley Fridge Magnet and Ball Bearing Game to keep the other one company. TFTC.
I love the name of the cache, and the position where it is hidden - so many possibilities. Of course it wasn't where I expected it to be in the first place I looked, or the 2nd, or the 3rd, possibly the 6th I think. I obviously approached this from the wrong direction.
Thanks so much for putting out another local one. I signed the log, took a frog and left a smurf torch.

Detour south a bit to get this one on the way to Winton Wetlands to have lunch at new cafe. Quick find... TFTC
#1508 FTF gone @ 1:15pm. A lunchtime dash to grab this one with the reward of a blank logbook. GPS was all over the place in the excitement of trying to locate the unsigned logsheet but got there in the end. A funny and unusual name for a locality, very Australian mind you. Had no idea it had such a population back in the day, Mr BGF's mum did live here for a short period of time a few years back. TFTC docNwitchjy, certainly worthy of a cache to highlight this humorous name to non locals.
