Unfortunately today this cache was to good for us. We did stop and make ourselves a cup of tea and had a snack while checking out the area. We will be back.

Assuming it's magnetic on the tourist sign as the hint implies there's only a few places it can be. I know it's small but we couldn't find it.

After stopping at a bakery nearby for supplies we were able to do a quick park and grab here. Didn't know that Lindsay had done art here so thanks for sharing. Also realised Creswick has a lot of unfound caches for us! TFTC

We are in Ballarat for a few days CRR (Caching, Rest, Recreation) and predominantly to do the Geotour, today I'd like to say we were out early ready and raring to get those caches...but...yeah nah...holiday mode....we ambled out of the van and made our way leisurely down the street en route to Ballarat. Log was full so we replaced with a crisp new one. Interesting bit of history here..TFTC

Very disappointed, spent 30 minutes with my family to only find out that it is gone. Kids were very disappointed. Someone must have nicked it. Please replace it

Found while on a trip to Ballarat and beyond from Adelaide. Log is very full. Squeezed SMM around number 20

The monkey was invited to the GF by her goal umpire brother who flew over. Her tix were going to be in excess of $800 so i offered to drive her over. As things do with 19yo, the car filled up with excited friends along for the ride. Hoping to grab a heap of LGAs, virtuals and letterboxes for challenges I’m working on.

Thank you for placing this for us to find. Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when required. TFTC

Very frosty morning here in Creswick. I had a few minutes up my sleeve before a meeting so a quick park and grab took place. Sooo much history in this tiny little town!!

Log book is full so I was only able to sign as DH.

Thanks for the cache Smile

A fabulous day perusing the books in Clunes, honey, potatoes, ice cream, playground all topped off my some terrific pizzas in Creswick. How to top off the great day? Why a geocache of course! It's been a long time between finds, but I found a suitable candidate and we stopped off on the way home for an easy find. I was confident I knew where it was, but when I didn't lay my hand on it instantly I was worried by Geojo had gone. I needn't have worried, it was there all right. Thanks GemmaSistema.

Arrived in Creswick with the intention of bike riding the Goldfields Track over 3 days. Had time to explore the town centre and find a cache. This cache was on the way back to our accommodation and after a quick search was located. We need to come back and explore more of the history within the town and nearby.

Found by Rebel Acts

Some good friends had decided to head to Ballarat for a few weeks so I decided I needed a break and joined them, we had a great time out caching as well as sharing stories and laughs around a meal or two. I really love the area of Ballarat there is so much history and I am sure it has the largest population of Oak trees in the Country.

This is one of the caches found today.

Some caches logged as RASP rebel acts &Ski pair.


Thanks GemmaSistema for the cache.

With work encouraging us to take some holidays and Mr SKI having quite a few weeks up his sleeve it was time to take another short break and do some sightseeing and caching in parts of Victoria we seldom visit.
This time we decided it would be Ballarat. There is a wide variety of cache types and quite a number of Adventure Labs to do, so the area is quite attractive. And that doesn't include the historical and interest aspects as well.
We organized to meet up with some friends while there so we would have the opportunity to do some joint as well as solo caching.
We have already had some great adventures on a few challenging caches that generated a lot of fun and as usual always good to find some pre-solved puzzles.
All logs signed as SKI Pair, RASP (Rebel Acts & SKI Pair or SP depending on size of logs and availability of space.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache GemmaSistema.

With the whole OSHFAM clan in tow, we set off from home to Creswick to check out the Market before making our way to Ballarat for the Geo Tour Event.

No one wanted to get out of the car after walking the market, so it was up to me to go make the find. Convenient to be able to park the car so close to GZ. A very quick look and the cache showed itself to me.

Whilst the cache was in good condition, the log book was totally chockers full. Luckily I carry spares and replaced it with a clean fresh one.

Interesting character Percy and a man of artistic talent.

Thank you for the cache here GemmaSistema
