Stumped Bannockburn, Victoria, Australia
By Poppet_93 on 21-Aug-16. Waypoint GC6QKGQ

TYFTC. With all the burnt stumps I thought it may be gone. Still here. Container broken. Needs a change.

Lovely walk to cache would be great on a hot day true assuie bush. Cache loud needing to be replaced. Had a spare zip lock bag so put it into that. Tftc and walk

Thanks

That was a bit of an effort to get to, going through a few gates. Got to GZ and made the quick find and log signed with my stamp. The lid of the cache has perished, brittle and broken, so will need CO attention to repair replace. TFTC!!

Found it

Found it. Lovely stroll along the track. Container damage hid under some extra bark.

Very rad very easy first Cache. Thanks to the person/people who put it there!

Thank you for the fun little hunt it was my first geochache so thank you

Awesome find long walk tho but good

Road was closed so walked on foot, great spot for cache. I do wonder what crop is in the surrounding fields.

Go team Autumn

A walk and a quick find. Came in from the west. Updated the swag

So much hayfever

Tftc

Under estimated how far we needed to walk but at least it was sunny

Found in a day out with the family exploring a few geocaches in the local area. Had quite an adventure driving down this track but we were lucky enough to be in a 4wd so just took it slowly and came out unscathed.

Found. Muddy walk in, gate on one side is locked.

The losers found it

Found after a short walk - good way to blow some cobwebs out

11/07/2022 my first find! A long walk in with a toddler but lots of fun. Fresh country air.

Come back to road closed.

I attempted to find this cache on Monday without any success. I figured that it would be easy to park at one end of the road and walk in. I discovered I chose the wrong end when I came across a fast flowing and seemingly deep creek! Never mind, it was worth it. I spent some time here listening to the frogs and enjoying the serenity.

Fast forward to today and after a bit of reconnaissance I decided that the other road in was a much better option and it paid off. I knew it would be a park and walk in, so the distance didn’t bother me. When I got there I found out you can no longer drive down the road where GZ is anyway, and the walk in is worth it.

Being an early Sunday morning it was relatively quiet if you ignored the screeches of the cockatoos. Dodging the various puddles, I looked up to see a fox crossing the path in front of me. Within a few seconds it had disappeared. The walk in was beautiful and shady and the trees were interesting to look at. One even looked like a tree person. At GZ I found a well maintained cache in the only logical place it could be. I doubt that out here it would get muggled but stranger things have happened.

On my way back to the geocar I heard voices carrying in the wind and sure enough, there were a couple of muggles walking in a nearby field. Asides from them, I didn’t see anyone else. TFTC

First Geo ever, first little hike after breaking my ankle, thank you very much for the adventure

Yes

Thanks

Found it

Wow, didn't expect this rutted out back road, certainly not a T1.5 option! Good thing car is little higher off the ground so was able to slowly and carefully make my way along here for a nice easy find at the coordinates.

We were heading to Ballarat for the Event and CITO tomorrow, as well as visiting our accountant and wanted to avoid the extensive roadworks between Ballarat and Geelong so turned off at Bannockburn and saw this cache out on a road we haven’t travelled before. This road would seem to be a road very much less travelled, certainly by 2WD vehicular conveyances. We arrived at GZ and quickly found the cache and signed the log. The cache is in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache 200SARA

Accurate coordinates made this cache a quick find
All's good at gz
Thanks Poppet_93

Good hide on a great little 4WD track with lots of bird life. Tftc

Done

Approached from the west but parked 400m shy of GZ as the ruts were too deep even for my geoute , quick find once I had arrived at the given Co-ords.

TFTC

In the area with Rebel Acts to put some smiles on the map, I haven't been around here in many years.
Found after a short search, cheers for the cache and the opportunity for some caching fun.

Interesting area TFTC

Another day out caching with My caching partner Omegaman1971, today we were joined by The Empire and Snap Happy to tackle a few caches, the Cluedo series being our main area for the day, lots of fun and laughter was had long the way.

This was one of the caches we did on our travels.

Thanks Poppet_93 for the cache.

This road is a bit of a shocker, thankfully today the road was halfway dry. The cache is in good condition. SL TFTC

We abandoned this one last week as we could not drive any further in the “dry weather only “ road, so parked at the previous intersection and walked in.
To our surprise we saw masses of wildflowers.
Attached are our photos.

Lots of big BIG puddles, had geokids screeching we were gonna get bogged, but we made it this far... hopefully we make it out the other side Tftc

Another cache under our belt. Road a bit wet but cache is in good shape tftc

Good road!

Yay we found it

It was fun but easy

Number 2

That's better

Found while out with the wild gang.

Found with The Rhyan Clan
Tftc

The tracks around here had some interesting parts with them being somewhat boggy and having some very rutted sections. But it was fun. Some caches were definitely easier to access than others. This was an easy enough cache to find and the log soon had both names added to the list.
Many thanks go to Poppet_93 for this cache placement.

Did a bit of a caching run today with goingplaces2. Found some good caches, had fun driving along some tracks and got some more smilies for the caching map. It was an enjoyable area for caching. Thanks to the CO for this cache.

Found as we passed through the area and decided to make a detour to explore an area we have only passed before, we decided to attempt this one and took the geowagon in, slowly and through the puddles the youngest team member finding it so much fun, the geowagon did well and soon the log was in hand, signed and replaced then on we went, TFTC and the fun

Had a few attempts at this one due to the weather .... decided to walk and get this one today. TFTC

Able to finally log this one after a couple of failed attempts to get to it. TFTC

Bit of a rough drive to gz but got here. Nice camo . It was also guarded by a lizard . Tftc

Nice

Found it in the company of ToolboxTas whilst waiting for my van to be fixed back in Geelong.
Thanks for the cache.

TFTC a quick trip down a little track with Swampy

Nice and easy!

Attempted to this cache in my Barina a few years ago... now I have a new car to cache in this was much more accessible! Tftc, it was a nice drive out!

Found it - TFTC

Nice Cache

Great one!!

Found on a quick cache grab today. Heading home from the Brisbane Ranges via these ones (Ok sight detour
TFTC Poppet_93
Find # 4063

Find # 7510

After staying at Bunjil Lookout last night n spending along day, with sharkiefan, in the bush around Steiglitz hunting down Cludo and Star Wars themed caches, the odd other in the area and a quick flying run into Geelong for a Virtual and attending the Geelong Annual Christmas Dinner at Lara.
It was time for me to head home.

The drive did take a little longer than it should have as, my parents, Tyred n Cranky have told me about this little group of caches here, and it was a 20odd k detour from thr direct route home.

Being dark and going on a back track made for a great little solo adventure and well worth the detour.
An interesting way to end out a great n memorable day.

Dejavu. I have my own cache with same name and same hiding place in Creswick. FP for that! CIGC TNLN TFTC

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.

On this day I was out with Sorceysal and Tessie the geodog

Thanks Poppet 93

Out and about with Bogonghazy and geodog Tess for a days caching around the Bannockburn and Inverleigh area.

Always hesitant when I see the sign "dry weather road only". Quite a few pot holes that required some rather interesting driving skills. Thanks for the cache

Fun find, bouncy road!

A great day out caching over this side of the country.
Enjoying the sights as we travel around.
Thanks for sharing this spot.
TFTC

An easy find TFTC

A quick find in an interesting spot. A cache surrounded by sea of yellow. TFTC

TFTC. Road in was fun in a 4WD.

Came in from the western end of the road and made a quick find, despite the unforgiving wind. Lucky it was another straight-forward hide (and cache name)!

We're out hunting for the last hidden creature. This quite dirt road looks like a good place to search! Thanks

Late logging found june long weekend with boydclan on a geocaching girls weekend

Nice quick find on a precarious road in the Yaris. Tftc

Find No. 2220. Found at 2.52pm

After spending the Long Weekend down in Anglesea/Torquay area to take Geodog Penny back to the beach, finish off the G2Anglesea trail and grab a few others along the way, we are heading for home.

We left early so that we could grab the nine caches around this circuit. This was the seventh on the list and again another quick find. Log signed, and onto the next one we went. Penny liked this trail as she had lots of running around at each cache find as the road/track wasn't busy.

Found cache while down visiting family from Newcastle. Brother and I went out for a day of caching. Left koala bear took rubber ball TFTC
cheers team wooness

Good one!

Found cache, logged and returned

Out for the day picking up a few caches and this was one of them. Brilliant weather out here and a good find was made. Thanks Poppet_93.

We enjoyed making our way along the road, with the summer weather meaning it was all good. It turned out to be a quick find in a likely spot. There was a welcome cool breeze drifting across the paddocks today too.

Thanks to Poppet_93 for placing this cache.

Another great country road with 2 sheep on it as we carefully passed by. Cache found Ok and fortunately there were no sheep on the road on our way back.
TFTC Poppet_93

Found it

Found 3:10:00 PM, during our November Caching day out with Muzza

TNLN, thanks Poppet_93 (F=240 H=3).

I was out and about with Biggles Bear for our monthly caching adventure, this time to the Brisbane ranges and surrounds. With a name like that, where else would it be?



Thanks for the cache, Poppet_93.

Big hump along the road. Beware It flunked under our 4WD. Good hide. TFTC

We had fun on the bumps on the way to this stump which didn't stump us for long. TFTC

We weren't STUMPED so we LOGGED it.

Thx mum taxi

Easy find where described
Tftc

Another easy find

Found by The Empire @ 3-4pmish
The first of 2 Bannockburn 'loops'. Each cache was found pretty quickly, there were no other cars on the road today. The track was starting to get a little wet and overgrown. Happy Easter to all! Thanks to all of the cache owners for making this cool trail.

Quick easy find TFTC

A nice quick find today at 1153 on our way to Lal Lal to find a few caches up there.

No problems here today. Nice to find a larger type container.
TFTC Poppet 93

I can see why you enjoy riding this loop - it has lots to offer. I was in the car but fortunately the track was nice and dry today. Several sheep watched me as I found this one.

Nicely secreted in this location Left a TB to,rest nere for a while TFTC Poppet93

It was a nice day to be out scouting around the countryside, my favourite type of geocaching.
Nice easy one with not a soul in sight.
Good to follow your cycling route too.
This is one rough track!!
TFTC

This one was frustrating me as I had seen GZ while venturing along this so called roadway at night in winter. Seeing it in the light of day I must've been crazy.
Yeah back to the beginning, it was published days after completing the rest of the series it has been a while until my return.
As Phetlrn has said be very wary of the catalytic converters underneath newer cars and hot exhausts on older one as the grass can brush under the car. Knowing this I took precautions and approched as safley possible and walked the rest. Cache spotted. Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache Poppet93

The stars aligned after the geo wife decided to spend a night with the geo kiddies and granny's hose so it created some free time for caching. Then I received a messaged from DAB if I was interested in the 12 days of Christmas series. LET's GO! So we teamed up once we were both in town and off we went. We drove out of the town for a few caches on the outskirts. A tough old track to navigate. Thankfully I was in a 4WD and not the sedan. Another quick find on this very dusty road. Stamped and returned as found.
