CBRR - Re-Capped Creswick North, Victoria, Australia
By Saint.Anthony on 08-Jan-16. Waypoint GC69CJM

On the principle of once bitten, twice shy this cache is being retired. StA

Looked high and low but to no avail. I imagine it's in an obvious spot. Maybe next time.

Thanks for bringing me here anyway.

Good find

Adventuring along the rail trail. Rabbits scampering around. Thanks for bringing us here!

A bit trickier to find. Was about 2 meters NE from where the hint implied.

Wow... 2 December! When did that happen? After finishing off the Christmas caches it was back to complete the rail trail which was partly completed last visit and a few other caches before heading home.

Found this one just sitting around. Log dry and all signed!

Thanks Saint.Anthony for the cache.

What a big tree and while I looked in one spot roaming Howie yelled here and made the find quickly.
Thanks for the cache

Very tricky to find!

Our first week away after lockdown number 2. Combining caching with gold detecting and enjoying the bush. Staying in creswick for 2 days helping the regional towns out as we travel along. TFTC

TFTC. This trail has been on our radar for a few years.We were in an around Creswick today so took the opportunity to discover this trail . It became a Saint.Anthony couple of hours. Great to be able to go out and have a bit of sunshine. All the caches on the trail were in good order.

Checked today. Replaced log and secured in dry ziplock. Disappointed to see someone pinched the camo, so had to replace in new hide and recap. Muggles don't bother, so this is a case of very poor etiquette from geocacher. All good to go though! StA

Once upon a time there was a big tree here based on the size of trunks here. TFTC

Thanks for the find!! Great caches along this trail! Log is nearly full

Couldn't find it

A nice quick find while holidaying in Daylesford. TFTC

Couldn’t leave town without finding our nemesis cache.
Searched in vain for a while before spotting it out in the open!
Replaced in accordance with the clue.
TFTC (I think...)

Heading to St. Arnaud for the mega event. Day 69 of our trip. Caching along the way. A total of 2 for the day and 1928 for the trip. TFTC

We were out and about in the Ballarat area today caching on our last day before we head back home to Tassie. We've really enjoyed our caching experiences and we were glad to be able to fill in another area on the map. TFTC

Found

Right where the ants were. Thanks for the hunt

Good hide, daughter found it.

Fun along the trail

Easy

Out and about today, this was a targetted cache and was found.

Continuing our adventures around Creswick and beyond, before making our way home to Wangaratta. What fun - a set of caches in a railway reserve. Off we go! SL at 10.14am Put log in a new zip lock bag. #6428 TFTC Saint.Anthony

Nice quick find on the way after school drop off. Tftc

Another quick find. TFTC.

Nice easy find today - thanks

Visiting get daughter from Qld. This is the first days since I arrived that there hasn’t been any rain. It’s nice to get out and find a few caches. I’ve seen a few of these cameos on my travels.

The name makes sense when you see this one. I had to ask Beckster 22 what the camo was. She explained it to me and said she collected a few of these out west along side a railroad track. Thanks for placing Saint Anthony. Caching today with geomum Beckster22.

No problem finding.
Great weather today.

Newstead Day 3
Todays trip was around the mining area as far south as Creswick. We came accross some amazing caches & locations, a really enjoyable day.
The weather started quite bad, rain jackets & beanies to keep warm. The unsealed roads were good to drive on as we kriss cossed the country side. Learnin a little about the area as we went.
A FP for this series.
We were able to drive our car along this trail today.
Thanks for placing this cache Saint.Anthony

We found it

Out and about for the day with wildfam, having a great time! TFTC Good find

Out for the day caching with barnes86 having a wonderful time. Hoping to cover some ground today and up our numbers. TFTC

Yeee

Firstly, apologies for the lateness in logging.
Despite my tardiness, you can be assured I enjoyed each and every cache found and not found.
Apologies if this is a generic log, my memory is good, but not that good.

Thanks St.Anthony

Out for a days caching with bogonghazy and Tess to clear up a few in Creswick and the surrounding area.


A nice trail with a well made track. Thanks Saint.Anthony

Find #2051 for me. Found with my son GeoAditya at 3:05 pm while in the area from Bendigo. After following this cache on my watch-list since my DNF last August I thought it was time for a re-visit. Today it was a very quick find of the replacement cache. Definitely much easier than the original I think! Anyway it was a great day to be outdoors, though we still had to be careful of the piercing sun as there wasn't a single cloud in the sky...Thanks for bringing us back here today Saint.Anthony and the exercise for both me and my son as we walked here from dirt road nearly 700m to the south-west. and thanks for the cache of course!

I tips me hat to the CO for this entertaining trail of caches along the olde railway
Cache found close to where I left the pushbike

Geocaching day with our awesome geocaching friends, 2 adults and 9 children, with our family on a quest to reach 200. We got started early in the hope that we could beat the intense heat, but there wasn't much chance of that. Nice, easy find. Thanks for the cache.

A group effort today working our way along the creswick to bloomfeild rail reserve, with AlbertMedows and his family and one of the WildFam and one bewildered muggle, all up about 11 of us all scrabbling around looking for caches on a very hot day. we walked half the track and noticed how good the track is and thought let’s drive it, Park the kids under a tree and headed back for the cars.

this one was really good I haven’t seen one in years

Found this cache on the ground amidst the tree litter. Original hide has decayed beyond repair. Replaced cache in adjacent hide with obvious themed camo.

A DNF for us.

Had a long look and couldn’t find maybe another day

Always good to make a find after a couple of DNF's. Thanks for the cache.

Having not had any lucky at the previous one and reading through logs, I was a little concerned we would have a run of similar did not finds. But somehow we went from one end to another, with many possible hiding spots, we were able to sniff this one out. Ah … the relief when the oh no … nearly set .

Out today on a road trip with Mrs Papi4506 & 4B Ninjas.
Always nice to have a find after a DNF.
Cheers Saint.Anthony

Today I decided to resume this series from where I left off last week and was going very well until I hit this one. I arrived here at 2:30 pm and spent quite a long time poking in every nook and cranny that I could see or feel (there were quite a few!). I noticed that one log mentioned some clever camo which gave me more ideas but unfortunately the camo was too good for me today. I was here for 30 minutes before eventually giving up as it was time to move on to the next one. I'll definitely be back to get this one and complete the series some time. Thanks for the hunt so far Saint.Anthony!

Finally with a day just for myself while i was home with 2 weeks long service leave , i took the geodog and myself out for some cache hunting around the Creswick area.
After finding the previous cache almost straight away i hoped that when i saw a similar GZ here i would have a similar result. Alas it was not to be and after an extended time searching i walked away unrewarded.

On the coldest day for ages in Ballarat with light rain and the temperature hovering around four degrees only crazy geocachers and ducks would venture out into the bush.
After attending the Hidden Creatures Event in Ballarat we are back out in the Creswich area getting some more smiley faces with au.fait and Mogni from SA. This guy turned out to be a quick find, signed and we were on our way to the next on our list. With this find I should receive another Creature as this makes fifty finds.
Thanks St.A for placing these caches.

Today I got the opportunity to catch up with a good friend Bushfire and help him find some hidden creatures.... What a fantastic day
Thanks to Saint.Anthony from mogni

Joined up with 2 legendary cachers at the lunchtime event in the form of Bushfire and Mogni for an afternoon of caching that extended well into the night. What a freezing cold afternoon it was but the company was great as was the caching. This very cleverly camouflaged cache was soon discovered and Bushfire was the lucky one TFTC St Anthony

took us a while. found it in a spot where the compass was telling us not to.

Quick and easy find this one
TFTC

The third day in Ballarat and surrounds with BettyBoo3747.
Today we went to Creswick and tackled the CBRR and CDLGM series and any others we passed. We then travelled across to Mt Beckworth for a few challenges.
We had fun on the rail corridor doing the CBRR caches. Good to see so much maintenance done and all caches in good condition.
Although this one was very similar to the last, it took a fair bit longer to find.
Thanks, Robmc.

#14103. Day 3 touring the area around Creswick with Robmc. Back through Miners Rest to Creswick and a visit to the CBRR series and the CDLGM series and then off to Mt Beckworth to finish the day. Ballarat weather was kind to us today, no gale force winds and plenty of sunshine - very nice.

A bit of searching before the cache was found (pretty easily in the end) where Rob had already been looking. Geocachers sure can make a mess of a HUGE fallen tree.


Thanks Saint.Anthony

TFTC. Signed and returned.
Another good hide that we thought we were going to have to leave.
Bingo she had found another one.

Nice quick find on a beautiful day

Unfortunately not today

The race was on to find this one, but it was kenare who can walk away with the cap. Cigc. Tftc

Sometimes Sean.75 and I can get a bit competitive with who finds more caches on a trail like this. I'm happy to say that so far for the day it's 2 all, lol. Tftc

Out with Youban for a pre-dinner cache run to pick up a few in this series. Quick find by Youban. Tftc!!!

With dty73 after a day at Sovereign Hill with the family. Luckily these caches were quickly found (all bar one) so we were back in time for dinner. Kutgw

Found with GeoGrandson. TFTC

Well this really had a scratching our heads. We spend a good 20 minutes watching with 4 pairs of eye and came up empty. Maybe next time!!

Had a good look for this one, and just couldn't find it.

After enjoying our last visit to the area, we decide to head back again this morning. Last time we were here, it was hot and sticky. Today the sun was shining and a lovely cool breeze was blowing. Once again we had a ball, touring this beautiful town and surrounds. Thanks to all the hard work from the CO's. TFTC Saint.Anthony

Visiting Creswick again for some Fishin and Caching. Our last time here was Nov 2016 and during that two weeks learned heaps and scored some 70+ caches to add to our tally. We thought we had cleaned out most of the Creswick caches. Not so. On returning home we became Premium Members and succeeded in exposing about another 80+ in this lovely area. Yehaaa.

This visit to Creswick was for a relatively short period. (3 days) Lots more still to collect from this wonderfully historic town. Thanks Creswick, and thanks also to the CO's and their hard work.

Hoping you will forgive the generic logs.

Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony and all your maintenance.

Took Nothing and left Nothing (TNLN)

Log on return

I am pleased to turn this one into a smiley today. Found with Motndarg, thanks S.A.

Another cache found and marked off the "to do" list . Out today with McLookers. Thanks Saint Anthony.

Found with Mi5sie as we braved the freezing wind and gloomy skies, we enjoyed the walk, log was signed and replaced as found. Thanks Saint Anthony for the cache and the fun and for bringing us here,

A smell of someone's wood heater had me wishing to thaw out in front of it, Cherad and I trek on though searching for the next cache along. Again the cache was signed quickly so as to move on. TFTC

Quick find on this one thanks. TFTC

Replacement hide due to degradation of original. Recapped placement and new coordinates.

I searched and searched and searched some more for this one. I was hoping for a clue but ended up giving up as I wondered weather I was searching in the right spot as my GPSr was a little jumpy and I couldn't get closer than 4 meters

09:37
We started our second day of caching around Creswick, with a bike ride along the Creswick - Broomfield Rail Reserve. Finally capped this one off as a find, after a long and somewhat arduous search, so many possible hiding places. We hope searches by enthusiastic seekers will not result in damage to this aging beauty.

Our thanks to Saint.Anthony for placing this cache.

Found with misschief 18 - lovely area, great views. Thanks

Found after wandering around for a while. Lots of different types of vegetation to inspect. TFTC

The Empire and I quickly had this in our hands, logged and returned to its hiding spot, whilst out on day around Creswick and surrounds. Some nice views spotted along the tracks as we journeyed through this area so rich in Mining history. My thanks to Saint.Anthony for the cache and the series. Cheers, Leese

Found by The Empire with sully1
We were glad to be able to make these drive-bys as the mercury reached 27-28 degrees. Luckily there were no other cars on the trail today and other than some sheep, no interruptions. Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony.

Gave up here too.

With children at School and Kinder and a few free hours to explore, becca85 and I headed to Creswick to grab some more smileys. Good start to Summer and the last month of the year. TFTC.

With children at School and Kinder and a day off work for us both, Wonder Woman W.W and I headed to Creswick for the day.
Not bad weather for the first day of Summer (I even got sunburnt!) & a successful day exploring more of this great little area. TFTC

Came up from the south to have a try at collecting a few caches while having a
look about at the same time. Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it.
Thanks Saint Anthony for this cache.
