Thanks

TFTC Two from three four Ar3ys and me on our practice driving and geocaching session

Nice easy find with Pralen My TFTC

#61 The amount of times I have driven past this spot without knowing it is here is unbelievable. Love the adventures geocaching take you on. TGTC

Thank yo

Thanks. Larrys first cache!

Awesome to see the gold workings

Found it. TFTC

Hahaha cheeky find on the way to the jobsite

We made our way up the steps to the viewing platform and started a search for the cache. Fortunately no-one was around and we managed to find the cache reasonably quickly. Thanks to AussieTrainDriver for the cache.

This was a fun first find

I was spending a few days in Geelong after attending the Capital City Geobash in Canberra and I decided to do a day trip to Castlemaine grabbing caches along the way. Thank you Team Ninja for placing and maintaining this cache..

Was a good spot

TFTCSL Gps was 17m off. I definitely needed the hint.

Cool hiding spot. Never knew the lookout was there till today

Thank you for this one. Enjoying a lovely day in Malden.

Thanks for the cache. Awesome spot

Found it

My first Geocache ever. Sunday 3rd December 2023. I signed the log book & left a Challenge Coin from the Heart 2 Heart walk 2023.

Great spot for a cache! Thanks for placing this one!

Nice quick find on a beautiful sunny day. No wiggle sticks around which was nice.

Visiting the Maldon area today with Bogonghazy. Quick find. Lovely spot. Thanks for placing the geocache

A great day to head from Bendigo with LittleBoss2 and Geo the puppy. Was a tricky find but we got there. Thanks Team Ninja

Thank you

Visiting friends in Malmsbury, we took the dogs to Cairn Curran reservoir for a walk and swim. Lunch in Maldon on way back, had to get one cache. This was it. Lovely lookout. My muggle friend actually found the cache quite enthusiastically ~ might convert her yet. TFTC

We found it. Good spot

Our journey to North Queensland will take us through many different towns. 

Here's one to find today. Thank you for placing the cache   AussieTrainDriver.

TFTC nice easy find and all in dry safe condition

An unusual situation for us instead of being in lovely warm Queensland we are hiding around cold old Victoria. Medical reasons and caravan repairs have us staying here and we will be looking forward to finding as many caches as possible while we are here. SL TFTC

In Maldon on day trip and this was my next stop. Had a look over the pit/mine area and then set about finding the cache, which didn't take long. Once the log was signed, it was back down to the car and off for another couple.

Thanks for this one Team Ninja...

TFTC

Yeah

#780! So interesting! Well worth a quick stop! MR_PaNic

Sick spot

TFTC. Interesting location

Found it great hiding spot

11/9/22 Did not find

In Maldon camping for the night having a look at a few sights while here

Arfter a bleak start to the arfternoon in Bendigo I saw Maldon looked like it had promising weather and I hadn't found many caches out this way so off I went. Bringing a muggle friend for company.

A quick find here but walked into a gorse bush on the way up.

A quick find whilst visiting this lovely little town, we can recommend getting a wine and cheese platter in first class on the steam train - with Cached. Cheers ears

Nice easy find, TFTC

First stop for the day. Stuck my head under and took a look around. Spotted the container pretty quickly.

All in good order.

I am visiting Victoria from Perth for a couple of weeks. This is a trip that we have been looking forward to for ages. Planning a week in Melbourne and a week out in regional Victoria.

Headed out from Daylesford towards Castlemaine today.

Nice view

found!

It’s a pity I can’t see any gold on the surface. thanks for bringing me to the lookout!

Easy find!

Great view from the platform of the mine. Thanks

Another simple cache located in a spot worth visiting!

Amazing view!

Took us a while and just as we were about to give up due to the heat, I finally had my hands on the cache, TFTC

Found the cache out in the open. Quick find. Replaced as per the hint.

Found it

Nice view

Lewis had to retrieve this one as my jeans were not allowing me to climb over the railings.

Nice easy first find but will need to return with pen to sign log book. Only a few minutes walk from home

Found it

Spending a day caching around Maldon.  Beautiful area. TFTC #11

Thanks for bringing me here, Maldon is such a lovely town and thanks for showcasing this spot

I never even knew this spot was here! Log book replaced - container is pretty full & could do with a few pieces of paper being removed, still in good condition. TFTC

Thank you. Needs a new logbook

Tftc

On holidays touring around the goldfields area this was on the list thanks for highlighting this site.. TFTC

Found with Cardiackelli. Needs new log. TFTC

It was easier to find the cache than to find a tiny space in the log book to sign! Interesting spot!

Out geocaching on a cold winter day TFTC

The trip from the Bellarine to Bendigo today could be called a retro drive! Not our usual dash up the Calder, but following the Midland, which gave us the perfect opportunity for collecting a few smiley tokens.
No actual gold, a golden smiley token for us!

Thanks AussieTrainDriver for placing caches at interesting locations.

The team headed off to Màldon for another week camping with our daughter during the school holidays in the caravan. Our mission was to find more caches than Uncle Brendan. Not too busy at the campsite this week-campfires, exploring, Dunolly bakery visits, playing family boardgames every night, practicing driving were highlights of the week. Thanks so much to the CO's maintaining these for us to explore.

Found @ 11:24am by JK, cleverly disguised.

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. Log was full 5 years ago. Got a favourite point

Our GZ was way out. TFTC

My phone is inaccurate

Hope

Found. Tftc. Great spot. Good hide.

New log book needed.

Nice walk out of town. Sadly no gold found

Thankyou for the cache the Ewoks

Found

Day off work. Out exploring new area. Love this part of the world. A great cache to add to the mix. Thank you!

Look out for snakes! A tail flickered just near here. Good thing up high.

Amaazing the work man can do. Great to check out this little spot whilst doing the rounds of town.

Thanks for the caches in this beautiful little area.

No one else here today being mid week and mid Covid. Cache found easily enough although it needs a new logbook.

Good thing I read the hint.
Also I saw an echidna.
Tftc.

What a view, so nice learning about what happened here years ago
