Like those before I looked and looked.

Found what I thought was likely.

Sadly it was not meant to be.

I will return.

Found what I belived was the hiding hole, but nothing attached to the extraction tool?

DNF at 11:42 AM.
Gosh - for a 1.5/1.5, we couldn't find anything to pull! We looked for about 15 minutes.

On our way to the mega event in Anglesea with hevwalker and spanner111.
TFTC!!

Stopped here on my way to the Mega event at Anglesea with TT016 & spanner111...
A cool hide TFTC theseeker321

A nice quick drive by as we pulled the plug for an easy find.

Thanks theseeker321 for this cache placement.

As we drove up we saw two others who we suspected were geocaching. Also an "interesting" woman walking laps around a small tree. She eventually stopped and then started doing laps the other way. We went over and met Nel&Andy as they found the cache. Signed log at 12:45pm, had a chat, noted the tree walker had disappeared, and headed back to the car. Nicely disguised cache.

Found on our way back to Melbourne after a quick getaway to Warrnambool.

Genius! As newbie Geo's the geokids were amazed at how awesome this one was put together!!

A great camo is a muggle free area today. Thanks theseeker321.

Plug well and truly pulled

Thanks for the interesting cache!

Headed to Colac for a late night caching adventure with CaptainRoverman and KumaCat. This was our first cache for the night and I looked straight past it! A little more searching and cache was soon in hand. Clever camo! Great cache to start our night. Tftc!

Could have thought l did this cache but thinking not but was a quick find to start of the night of caching with ninny and kuma

tftc

Amazing geocache

Out doing some caching around the area with Happy Pants and a couple of the geokids in tow. The geokids jumped out and managed to spot the sneaky hide. Nobody about which made it easier. TFTC theseeker321.

Brought a smile to our faces thanks

**Recap of The Challenge:** To find as many caches as possible without using any form of technology at the site.
The map to this one said it was on the W side of the street, in line with the boundary fence between #24 and #26. Search, search, search... no dice. Wait a minute, the street numbers run *away* from the lake! Whoops, wrong fence line. Bingo! Big thanks to TheSeeker321!
**Lesson 2:** Make sure you're actually looking in the place you think you're looking in.

Cute cache, and the built-in log extraction tool was appreciated. A favourite tick. TFTC theseeker321 , Bretto44.

Tftc good one

It is always a pleasure to bring a pen to cleverly designed and executed caches, such as this one. A favourite point from us.
This is one of the caches we found after watching some events and catching up with friends at the Victorian Rural Fire Brigades State Championships in Colac.

Our thanks to theseeker321 for bringing us to this location.

On our way to Geelong, we decided to stop for a break. We noticed a cache nearby so we headed off. Nice easy find, cute cache TFTC

An opportunity well spotted and well executed. TFTC

Nice tricky find!!

What a great hide well done

Found it !!

Took a little while, great hiding spot

Time to make our way home but of course need to grab a few caches along the way. Thank you for another fantastic cache.

Road trip. Got together with mogni, her bro and his kids (DAP) for a quick trip over the border to Werribee for an attempt at the infamous Eagle Rock cache. We spent 2 1/2 hours all up at Eagle Rock for a DNF. So of course we just had to do a few others as well. [;) And now it was time to cache out way to Geelong to catch up with Bushfire and make it back to Mount Gambier for an event tonight.
Spotted this one straight off. Very clever hide. Thanks theseeker321. Well made and you get a rare fav point from me!

This nifty little cache was a very quick find. TFTC

This one was easy to find, but only because of my experience in finding!
Masterful piece!
Nice area, parked the car under the trees, and Bam, the cache was in hand!
Signed log, replaced and we were on our way, but not before the youngest member of our team tested out the nearby equipment!!

Ok. This is the last one for today. Really. (This caching business is very addicting!) Very clever cache. Kids loved it and played at the park whilst I entered our log. TFTC. From the
McPhail family

great find, liked pulling the "plug". Well done.

We spent the afternoon around Colac today.
It was a lot milder weather but the wind was quite strong.
Thanks for placing this cache we found it right away but it was a very clever one.
Kidfs liked the playground.

Found with the family today.
I had a great time down in the Colac area.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Found with Mum, Dad and Eddie.
I had a fun day down in the Colac area and it was my first visit.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Passing through Colac, did a little detour to make this my first cache on the first day of 2016.

GPS spot on, nicely hidden from kid on swing, so a quick grab, then took a seat to sign the log. Clever hide gets an FP. TFTC

On the way home from Warrnambool, so will make some time to grab a cache. The GPS was all over the place but we eventually found this one on the ground, so replaced it where we thought it was more appropriate. May need checking by CO.
Thanks theseeker321 for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Wow this one has me going round in circles and my gps didn't help, but then a lovely lady drove past and told me where to look. Thank you nice lady. Tftc

A day off work today meant a road trip from Ballarat with master 4 to collect some caches in and around Colac. We pulled up in the shade here and quickly made the find. Thankfully master 4 wasn't too interested in the playground so it was off to the next cache! Many thanks

Found it

A weekend glamping around the 12 Apostles with Bogonghazy started with dropping the dogs off in B'rat at one of the many kennels there. As check-in, or whatever you call unzipping a tent is, wasn't till 4pm, we had plenty of time to meander our way down to Princetown.
This was a relatively quick find of this clever hide, guess it's all in the name. Many thanks

Thanks theseeker321 for bringing us here before grabbing a bite to eat

I can remember the other cache that used to be at this park as soon as I pulled up near the gz. The kids shot through to the playground and I managed a quick find. Thanks again theseeker321 for the cache.

The name says in all. Loved the cammo. We found it about 5 metres north of our GPS co-ords. TFTC

Thank you, this was a wonderful hide, nice and cheeky. I was just a bit quicker then Geohubby.

Geo wife pulled the plug first
Good hide

Tftc

TFTC great hiding spot!! Good playground for the geokids to play if you have some.

Great hide. Thanks theseeker321.

Great spot, thanks

First find!!
This could be seriously fun.
Thanks guys.

TFTG

Great hide good camouflage

Found it!!

Found it

Great disguise

Found by Mary & David at 1710. Always enjoy a cache name that ties in. Glad that there was nobody about though. Spotted it quickly. Our thanks to theseeker321.

A clever one. Worth the visit. Thanks

Good co-ords made for a quick find, great effort made with this TFTH

Suscoe's second find later in the day.
We remember coming here years ago with another cache at another time.
A quick find.
Thanks to theseeker321 for placing this cache, a neat hide.
No one in the park, too cold.

Love the location!

Can't believe iv been here before and for the 2nd time I didn't realise I was holding it. Awesome. Tftc

In Colac today with my muggle sister whilst her muggle boyfriend is in day visit at the local hospital. Decided we had plenty of spare time so took her caching.

A nice little find. Favourite point added as my muggle sister loved the concept and thought it was genius.

Log signed and replaced.

TFTC TNLM.

A day of caching with ozbob and the ageing Bushfire was decided upon and we ventured down this way with the weather very poor and the temperature hovering around about 4.
It was not only the temperature but it was light rain so all hides had to be found as quick as possible.
We were in ozbob's new Ford Ranger that has a lot of things going for it for caching, Sat Nav, 4x4, high clearance, and a great heater to name a few as we were running up a few kilometres before he uses it to tow his caravan.
I like others have been to this location before but today I had to remove a giant Leopard Slug who had taken up residence on the container but then the log was signed and we were off to the next.
Thanks theseekers321 again.

Out on the road with the legendary Bushfire on a cold winters day. This was a nice easy find after we removed the resident slug. Thanks to theseeker321 for the hunt.

Found on my way out of Colac, no one in sight, to wet today for the kids in the park which made for a quick find TFTC

Finally got down to this lovely little park for the hunt. Geokid took advantage of the playground while we fired up the GPS. Found the cache and log is in good condition.TFTC theseeker321.

Down in Colac today in the company of Glanville Girls and ST37E today picking up some of the newer local caches.
This cache was our last for the day before heading home. And by now the torches were needed for the hunt. I think ST37E had this one in hand before I was even out of the car.
Thanks theseeker321 and Bretto44 for the cache.

We recalled finding the original cache here and enjoyed the new rendition today. Fortunately the rain kept the muggles away. TFTC

Found during a day of caching in an unvisited area with Glanville Girls, nice quick find towards the end of a long day caching

TFTC

Out caching today with ST37E with the aim to complete the Bambra series and collect some caches in the Gellibrand and Colac area. We were lucky enough to have one half of The Tritonz on board with us today to keep us company. Our last one in the area today. Great camo on this one. ST37E made the grab under torchlight. Thanks for the hide.

Nice to see this one revived. TFTC

GPS Ws jumping all about. We looked all around the park before our GPS's settled and Laulan honed in on the prize. TFTC

Tricky find as GPS was jumping around like crazy
However Laulan pounced o this one and found cache in no time

TFTC

Not a bad little cache, and a quick and easy find! TFTC

Out this way to convert some more green boxes into smiley faces. Dropped the wife off where she needed to go and off I went!
Heeded straight for the playground and searching nearer to there until I turned around and noticed something a little odd and freshly cut compared to the rest of the much bigger item at GZ

Thanks theseeker321 for the cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Great little hide!

Found It....FTF Yay.....After spending the last few days in bed nursing the flu it was a pleasant surprise to have 3 new caches pop up this morning to help me get out of bed so after breakfast it was decided to go and have a look for them in the howling gale that was knocking on the back door so with this adding to the still pounding headache we set off. Arriving at GZ soon after and after waiting out a muggle local doing some strange things walking around a tree we made a dash for GZ and soon after had the cache in hand and after placing our name at the top of the log sheet we quickly rehid the cache so as not to look to suspicious. Thanks theseeker321for the cache and the hunt today
