A great day to be out exploring at the end of lockdown. Got so lucky with the weather! So good to be back outdoors exploring. Have greatly missed it. Creswick is not a part of the world I have visited before and I was blown away by how beautiful these spots were. THank you for highlighting!

Disabling this series until a proper audit can be done.

First day out of lockdown - Yay!

What perfect weather to come and explore the Creswick area.

A beautiful walk around here, really wasn't expecting this. Plenty of Rosella's about today.

You know it's a great spot when you also take plenty of photos.

A nice easy find here today thankfully.

On a quest today to find the last caches to unlock the vault and the Mystery at the Museum. Staying at Creswick and quite close to St George’s Lake, so off to find this little collection on the Loop walk this morning. A rather dull morning, but the air was filled with all kinds of bird calls. We are sure there were some rosellas adding their voices to the morning chorus, but we couldn’t see them! SL at 8.50am Left: glow eagle PT collected the clue and replaced zip lock bag. #6403 TFTC Wakkatoo

With fantastic weather this afternoon it was a perfect chance to go for a walk around this lake with my geodaughter alongside to keep me company.
We planned to start at the bridge but we had to skip that one due to muggles pulling up just as we were about to start searching, so we made our way here to kick off proceedings. A nice easy find to get us underway. Thx Wakkatoo for the caches here and great cache notes too.

TFTC. We had set ourselves a task of finding 2000 caches this calendar year. Heading back to Maryborough after celebrating Christmas with the family we decide to stop at Lake George.We had often promised ourselves a stop here. The area was crowded with swimmers but we were able to explore without arousing attention.We managed to find 2 of the 4 caches ad thus had to leave the puzzle. Never=mind it was a great wander in the shade around the lake.

Another drive by given the weather was poor. The plan originally was to do the loop walk and collect them all, oh well, next time. The cache took a bit to finally spot as we were trying to avoid getting muddy! Thanks,

10-Jun-18
With a stupid o'clock start for a flash mob in Geelong, Ausfox;, Neville_devil and myself headed Ballarat and Creswick way in search of as many Regular size caches as we could find for the day. The things you do for challenge caches [:o].
With a regular sized cache for the final as well as one in the series we decided we would make a completed circuit of the lake to make an attempt at all caches in the series.
This was the first we attempted in quite a busy little spot lucky for the cover of tree we made a quick find.
Thank you Wakkatoo for the series
 
10-Jun-18
Thanks for the cache. What a wonderful hidden gem this lake is.
 
10-Jun-18
I joined up with Simsfamily and Neville Devil after a 3am flash mob in Geelong and made our way to Creswick to search out regular size caches and others in between.


A busy area with gold prospectors, fisherman and walkers but we were able to make the find. The cache was open as the trinkets inside were to big, so I moved them onto a larger cache in the series.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache Wakkatoo

Hooley dooley this place has changed since I was here last!!! After a bit of a search (more so looking to see if muggles were approaching) I had the cache in hand. I'm sure I felt a spider scuttle across the back of my neck!!! Or perhaps it was just a twig, I'm hoping for the twig option!! tftc

*Who could wish for a more enjoyable area to spend time, than in and around the Creswick Regional Park? A wonderful area for walking, riding, exploring and of course geocaching!*

We enjoyed a DNF free day, among fascinating fungi, carefully hidden, well maintained caches and this interesting little walk.

Thanks to Wakkatoo for placing this cache.
