Tricky find because previous locator made it harder but I had a feeling after reading the hintGives it away will get way harder when the sticker wears out in the weather haha

Quick trip into Colac via Meadowell and Gold Hole Roads. Well you've stumped us on this one, and we spent considerable time searching for this apparently clever piece of work. Thanks for sending us this way Robynonthego.

Ahhhh yes! It is with great satisfaction that I log this cache. Very clever hide. And once I used my eyes the clue made sense!!! Good one Robynonthego

I will be back to try again!!! This is a walk Ive enjoyed before. Great day today and lots of gang gang cockatoos around which I love. Thanks for the outing Robynonthego.

Tasmania Trip Day 2. This was my second day crossing Victoria to before getting on the Boat to Tasmania this afternoon. I had a couple of counties to visit and I also went a little bit further to get two map squares for the challenge. It all seemed to take a lot longer than expected, but I did make it to Geelong in time to do a couple of caches before checking in. The whole loading of cars experience was interesting and I found myself way down below the water line. next was finding my spot and then we waited for almost two hours before departure. I actually had a good sleep, but had to get up way too early.I mostly just selected roadside caches as I headed about Victoria today. No problems here.Thanks for the cache Robynonthego45786.16 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 20 Years of Geocaching A#454**Albida**

This took me a while. Searching in all the wrong places but just as I was about to leave i came up with the goods. Perseverance pays off sometimes. 2nd find for day to get the leap year souvenir. TFTC

A sneaky hide but found it straight away after ready the hint in the description! TFTC

I returned to GZ and with your hint I found and loged it and safely returned to its spot so TFTC Robynonthego. Cheers noelwas.

Got me beat took 30 minutes looking, I hope its still here for others.

CO may like it check this cache

Cache in place, last cacher didnt locate the hide.

A very clever hide. I may have added unnecessary numbers to the counter, but I found the cache in the end. TFTC

Today I was out for a day trip to the Colac area. I was in the company of Sol de lune and Nelzarama, travelling in the mighty GeoPajero of Sol de lune ownership. We had set goals and a home time. WE found all bar one cache and had some time to get some extras in Beaac on the way home. Thanks everyone for placing your caches and keeping them maintained, this Geocaching is kept fun by your efforts.The logs have been signed as JaNS.

Today, I joined forces with JTreeTrack2 and Sol De Lune for a geocaching adventure in and around the Colac area. We logged our finds as "JaNS."This was our second cache find along this scenic route. The presence of informative boards was a pleasant surprise, shedding light on the bustling history of this area. Its a beautiful spot, and if I lived nearby, Id certainly make it a regular destination for geocaching walks with my furry geopups.The cache was brilliantly concealed, and I must say, I was grateful to have company on this search. Without their help, Im certain it would have taken me considerably more time to uncover the cache.Thanks for the cache!

On a day trip with Nelzarama and JTreeTrack2 to the Colac area and this was our next stop. Logs for the day were signed as JaNS...Another entrance to the area and after a short search the cache was found. Always like these hides, so good to see this one.Thanks for another one RobynOnTheGo...cache all good.

(CZ) 13:50 thank you!

Thanks for the history of the Beechy line here. I did walk in to another cache after finding your micro here.
Thanks robynonthego

Sneaky hide. Was looking in the wrong place and needed some help from Wespro to find it

Tricky tricky!! Spent way too much time with the “visitor counter” rather than the well-hidden cache. TFTC.

Had no idea what Fraunfelder was and after extensive googling I still have no idea how it relates to the cache but it was fun regardless. Took us a long time but then Lewis thought he was onto something. His fingers were a bit too fat for the job, but mine worked just fine. Thanks for the cache! Nice one!

So glad to be able to have ticked this one off. Several times it has beaten us, but not today!!!!

Now, this one had us a little bemused, needing a break and came back to it. We have been defeated in the past, and we were determined not to let us beat us today. After a loooong search, success!! We whooped and danced a jig! Great cache!

Being a master of bush micro, Vinz was quite perturbed that he could not find this one today.
Pretty sure he knew what he was after, it just did want to party today.

Good hide

Not having a good day.

I saw what the name meant in an instant, got excited by the trail counter, but found quickly after touching some stuff. Tftc

Took awhile and probably added a few extra walkers to the track counter, very neat hide
Fav from me
TFTC

I had been here once before….. but the government threw in a snap Covid lockdown and I was 90 minutes from home so I really didn’t have too much time to look. Fast forward to today kenare kenbryl and myself here to have a good old look. Like a bull at a gate we fossicked around and finally got what we wanted… very clever fave point from me tftc

I'll admit we were a little lost to start with here. So many possibilities for the cache to be hidden. We searched, stopped and thought about it then the penny dropped for Jenno3 and she had her hands on it in no time. A fp for me for the cleverness, yet simplicity of the hide. It was not what I had expected. tftc

Like the others, I decided this was getting a fave point. It wasn't what I expected, or quite where I thought. Great hide. tftc

Day #1 of a new adventure in Western Victoria. I think we are up to the 8th iteration of this trip. Initially planned as our Millicent road trip, it changed to a delayed VIC only trip, back to an SA trip with border announcements, then back to a VIC only trip when the finer details were revealed. Nonetheless we are out exploring again with today is focused on the journey from Melbourne to Panmure.

A clever hide that I discounted initially after touching it but then revisited and found the clever cache. Worthy of a fav point.

Thanks Robynonthego for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Took us 3 goes and some help from some friends but we found it.
Great hide and well done.

Amazing hide! Struggled a bit until I read a previous log. Glad no one is around, must look bizarre the way I was searching . TFTC!

Very tricky little cache. SL. Good coordinates got us there after a thorough search.

After much searching finally found it. A good hunt TFTC

Found it with Silence49

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Geo hubbie Rick got it in seconds, does it mean he had a devious mind too? Great hide.

Sneaky sneaky sneaky

Staying at the Lake Colac caravan park for some R & R plus a little caching.

What a beauty!!!! just loved the cache placement so a favourite from me = very sneaky.

Wow tricky hide cheers!!

Coords good. Well Gated. Good construction

Tough one!! Took us two trips back to find it! Tracker up a good amount from trips backwards and forwards lol. TFTC

It had been a while since I had been out west and seeming there was an event on today it surely was a great excuse to wander out this way to find some caches. Tagging along with Stemicmitsar for the day we had planned to clear out the area of multi's and other little bits and bobs.

Avoiding the rains fairly efficiently between caches and meeting many other friendly faces on the road after the event, the day was a success with no real issues.
Thanks for the caches and the adventure.

*Found on the 2 Jan 2021 @ 5:40 pm.*
*Cache find # 11295.*

Out and about on a tour with buhfuhguh starting at Cressy and on through Beeac for an event and then further South to Irrewillipe to find a few challenge caches, we were now heading in the direction of home but there were a few more caches to find along the way.

We were over this way to find the letterbox but seeing that this one was just up the road, we went for a look.
It had us thinking for a couple of minutes but then I read something in the description and I was onto it straight away after that.

**Thanks to Robynonthego for placing this cache.**

*Cache count for the day so far;*
10 Multi Caches
2 Letterbox Caches
1 Event Cache
10 Lab Caches
10 Puzzle Caches
12 Traditional Caches
2 Earthcaches

Quick find
TFTH

Not sure what we were missing here but this took a very long time before we gave up.

When I first saw where the cache was, I thought it was a spider! So we used some tools to have a closer look...just in case. I had a laugh when I read about the tracker. I’m sure we set it off a hundred times at least LOL. TFTC

Haha we could have sworn it was a funnel web spider we were looking at

Thanks for the cache

After spending the past three days in the Forrest area, it was sadly time for Chook to leave and head for home. Cache title and good coords meant that the search was very quickly narrowed down and the cleverly hidden cache located. TFTC Robynonthego.

Coming back for this one.

Spent a while looking but will have to come back another day.

Time to enable my caches again.

Covid 19 has now reached Colac. I’m no longer prepared to maintain caches and best to Disable for now.

Sneaky TFTC

Good day out with abricc. The one al.ost had us stumped but abricc got the smiley for us

Very sneaky boiiiis

Restrictions are easing from Wednesday.

Unarchiving cache at CO request.

Due to The Coronavirus and my inability to maintain my caches, all will be disabled until the end of this crisis.

Now this one had us puzzled for a while i-=until Mrs Platypus said a magic word and everything fell into place. A fav point for the hide.

Found after about 5 minutes of looking

Great hide, love it. Passing thru caching on our way home to SA. Tftc

Very clever. TFTC

A good 15 mins of searching but pieced all previous clues together and soon had cache in hand. Nicest cache of our day.

#3936 We had come down to these parts to collect a nearby mystery cache but unfortunately that location was muggled out today. We continued down to this one. Had us going for a while but Mrs BGF sussed it out after reading a few previous logs to point us in the right direction. Sneaky sneaky, TFTC Robynonthego and some more nice local history to absorb on our travels. A beautiful spot here too!

Great hide. Took longer than it should but that's half the fun. TFTC

Found this one on a visit now to the forest. I managed to get thisone after a short search, mainly because I have had one just like it! It gets a favourite too.

DNF ️
After search before dark
Love it here
Thanks

#2159 Having a few days break from Melbourne doing a loop trip through the Otways and this was the 5th cache (of 17) we stopped to do on the way. We always enjoy finding caches a bit different to the norm and appreciate the thought, time and effort that goes into them. Thanks again Robynonthego.

Just a little further down the road from the puzzle, n0w0rries and I made what I thought would be a quick stop. It actually turned into a few minutes until we read the cache description, made the connection and eventually found the well constructed cache. Simple but effective.

Pegged it.
Nice construction. [^]
Google is thy friend.
Observation probably would have done the job also.
Loved the cache "camo"
Thanks for the cache Robynonthego.

Its always nice when they are in the first and tgerefore last place you look. Tftc

The Chief was doing the angry bee dance following the technology, I looked where I thought I’d hide it sans technology.
Thanks for placing Fraunfelder so we could find it. Many thanks Robynonthego for the caching fun.

Very clever hide. Took a while.

Took a bit but finally located. Was a bit sneaky

Took a bit due to gps jumping but found it

Took awhile even with 5of us soon had in hand and signed

This one kept us one our toes today. Searched plenty of likely spots and went back and forth until we decided to Google the cache name. That set us straight and we soon had the clever cache in hand. Think we added a few numbers to the counter at the entrance! TFTC

Dont know what possessed me to look there, but I did. CIGC TNLN TFTC @6.33pm Find #2966

How very clever.... had fun with finding this one!

Travelling from Lavers Hill to Beechworth, I decided to do a few to start the trip off right.
I did wonder what the cache name meant, until I got to GZ! Nice hide.
Another full log, but I did have a spare so I replaced this one.
Thanks, Robmc.

Find #7175

After spending the day caching around Colac with great friends, sharkiefan and LouiseAnn
and attending the "Spring Time Glow Worms on the Barbie" event. I was heading home back through Colac.
and seeing so many more caches on the map I decided that this little road needed a looking into.

In the dark this one took some time but logic took over and I managed the find by torchlight.

TFTC Robynonthego

Stayed at Colac for the weekend and before I came up I decided to do the Old Beechy rail trail and end up at Lavers Hill for the Glow Worms.
I walked the quiet trail and came up to GZ as I parked at the other end
I must admit I googled the name as I had no idea what it meant a quick search and I soon had the very clever cache in hand.
Thanks Robynonthego TFTC

What a little ripper of a cache Loved it and the area too Gets a FAV from us TFTC

A

Out to Barongarook to pick up geokids from Scout camp so Team Autumn got to cache along the way. Once we figured out where we were meant to be it was a quick find. Loved the way the cache was constructed. Had a good chat to the lovely cows that found us entertaining. Cache in good condition. TFTC.

Sneaky down low little hide. Not somewhere id have liked to put my fingers glad i brought my aunty who made the find kids were wrapped. yay

Had a good look around but couldn't turn it up in the fading light. Another nice spot though
Seems to be a well maintained trail

Surprisingly found quicker than expected. Absolutely brilliant hide. Tftc

11:11
Will today be recognised as the "2018 Autumn Break"?
We spent a wet and windy day in the very good company of au.fait, as we made our way from Colac through the Otways to the Melba Gully Glow Worm Event.
The second of the Beechy Line stops, what a very sneaky gem - a definite favourite point from us.

Thanks 'Robynonthego' for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Well done Robynonthego!

We spent a long time looking for this one. Thanks for the hide and an interesting contraption.

The Fraunfelder's are a proud an noble family in OZ
They have opened so many gateways for other entrepreneurs to follow in their foot steps
At this particular bit of Fraunfelder history,
I soon tracked down the cache

Neat hide there !!
An open and shut caching case

We have done caching on several rail trails in Queensland and down south here in Victoria and it is the first time that we have seen a counter on any of the walking tracks. Does this mean that we can claim a FTF on the track counter LOL. Now for the cache we arrived at a likely spot and looked where we thought it would be, nope. Stood and looked around and went back to our original place and this time we found it, yippee. SL TFTC

Took two attempt but got there in the end. Great cache. Colac caches rock

Another locality new to me and a lovely drive to get there TFTC

Great day for a drive and maybe see some wild flowers and hopefully a cache or two. Didn't see many flowers, but, were privelaged with an excellent viewing of the Rufous Bristlebird.
