Grub62 Smiley1982 had a quick look but with so many DNF'S we didn't get too serious.
 
15-Nov-19
With a long string of DNFs on this one, perhaps this one could do with a check by the CO.

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.

Thanks for the hunt anyway Kalianna Kachers.

What an excellent cache hide so well planned and implemented. Had to use some stealth and patience today but doing so meant we found the cache! Like the colour too!

In Bendigo today with kenare and kenbryl with a few on our "to do" list. After a visit to the art gallery, we took a walk over here. Not a Muggle in sight, due to it being winter and a very cold day. Cigc. Tftc
 
13-Jul-19
In Bendigo today with Sean.75 and kenare to check out the Tudors to Windsors exhibit at the art gallery and to find some caches while up this way. Tftc

After checking out the Tudor/Windsor exhibit it was time to find more caches. This was a short stroll away and a quick find. Tftc
 
Found after a brief search. All in good condition. TFTC

Found on our Bendigo trip to see the art exhibition Tudors to Windsors. Nice little find reminding me of a cache found in London a few years back.
 
29-Jun-19
Well today did not go to plan!

With a pending move to Bendigo for me and my family for work (on a side note, I will be the new manager of this pool come summer and would the CO to make them self known) we thought we would spend the day seeing some sites and getting used to the area and take a TB for a tour. We made our way up from Melbourne to be meet with rain and not just a little bit.

This was the only find for the day due to the weather.

Thanks for the cache.
 
28-Jun-19
On a sunny but cool breeze morning (27/6) and not quite where a photo showed it to be! In Bendigo to see the Tudors to Windsors, which was great, as was our nearby accommodation.
Given the recent logs mentioning the log sheet was full came prepared with a replacement piece of paper.. not as long as the original but it should serve for a while.
 
24-Jun-19
Found by Mary and David at 19:54:00. We were in Bendigo to see the "Tudors to Windsors" Exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Simply incredible! So much sunshine outside that it seemed a good idea to walk to this, the nearest of our unfound caches. At this time of the year, there were no muggles anywhere in the vicinity. The log is totally full, so we found a little space along an edge. Needs a new log. Our thanks to Kalianna Kachers.
 
22-Jun-19
Yay! Our first in the dark find! Loved it! We’re new to this and didn’t know of this method! Turns out we saw one similar back home thinking there was no cache there! lol! We’re all amateurs once

Cache found to be all in good order though the log is full and needs some attention.

Get out of jail card is in play, we have taken two weeks off from the farm. Mini tour from Porepunkah to where-ever and back catching some caches on the way

Day 6 - Bendigo- we spent the day on the talking trams today, then caught a few caches before we headed back to camp. No time for multicaches, of which there are plenty, only a few trads, and one puzzle.

This one was tiny. Thanks Kalianna Kachers

**Find #2054**

I haven't been here for many years and boy has it changed. Spent many a summers day here, and learn't to swim here as well. At GZ was a mattress and other goods left at the Salvo Bins. The cache was a quick find. Thanks for bringing me back to a place full of memories.

Thanks **Kalianna Kachers**

Hi there Kalianna Kachers.

We found your cache **"Rio 2016 Series - Just keep swimming!"** today. (This makes our find count 19191).

Another fine day in Bendigo, so we took the opportunity to grab a couple of FTF's before we chased down some more caches along the "next closest" route that was determined by our GPS..

Normally we don't attempt nano caches, as we believe that their usage has become far too common these days, and many are placed in spots where a decent container could have been skillfully hidden.

We found 9 caches today (DNF'd 2) & thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid today. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

***Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book is in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

As we were busy almost all day at the Bendigo LEGO Exhibition I left finding the cache for the day till late in the day and daylight faded quicker than I expected and....... so a cache find in the dark was the order of the day. First choice didn’t seem accessible as we expected so headed off to another over near our accommodation. On the way we were going past this one and decided to try for it. We still needed a torch to find it but it was a quick but fiddly find. Football was on at the oval next door but no other Muggles around at this time of night.
