Crazyburn - The Crater Craigieburn, Victoria, Australia
By chof_hoe on 24-Jan-17. Waypoint GC6ZMME

Nice

Dont think its here

Think this one isnt here anymore

Not sure if my caching sense was off but no luck for me today. As I'm on a mission to reach 1999 finds today and this hasn't been found for months I didn't spend ages looking. TFT hide.

Welp I tried finding it with my MUGGLE cousin didn't work out at all we got hurt trying to find the cache and everything Sadly We couldint find it checked all over the Crater nothing to be seen anyways TFTC

This was a quick and easy find while caching around the Craigieburn area.This is a great series even though I have not been able to find a couple of caches and won't be able tosort out the coordinates for the final.

Cache found and log signed in the wee hours with dalerious.

We were on our way home, and stopped in Craigieburn for a very late meal, for the journey home.

This was a nice and quiet spot to have our meal and grab a cache at the same time.

I actually picked the trad further up the road, but the roadworks hampered our progress.

Never mind, it was still an ok area, and we loved the cache container. Thanks for the cache. We will be back to do the rest, eventually .

Signed 8/7/23, I think it might have been a bit later than that by the time catnap777 and I came to find this cheeky micro under torchlight.
Well, midnight seems about the right time to find a crazy cache in Crazyburn.
TFTC chof_hoe.
The rest of the series may have to wait till we are back in town and more rested. [|)]

Found it

Found and retrieved.

The brick and the tool are not nearby

Found it..It was fun. Look out for small little things... everything around can be a clue.

Finally, the Whittlesea Mega has been and gone and now the huge task of logging all the found caches over the seven days that we have been in the area.
With so many to logs to place I will have to cut and paste my log on a lot of these caches. I would like to thank all the various cachers who placed caches out for us to find for without caches being placed there would not be caches for us to find but F.P’S will be allocated where I thought one was deserved.

Found It!
I had the required tool with me so I soon had the log book in hand. Nice park.

Whittlesea Mega Wobble and Wade Tour: Day 4: Plus 1 Geelong to Whittlesea
Once again myself and Anymules were in Victoria on our way to a Mega event. We arrived in Geelong last night and this morning we rectified a few DNFs from three years ago did some labs and picked up our mate Bushfire and headed northwards toward the Mega [^] We stopped for a few new caches and lab caches along the way. - As you do.

We checked into our home away from home for the next week or so and went for a quick drive around the area. This was a quick find and luckily we had the required tool.

***Thanks chof_hoe for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

We had a tool with us so didn’t need to go find one.

I found your D2.5/T1.5 Micro Traditional called Crazyburn - The Crater at 15:04 on 17 November 2022. It was find #16152 for me. Thank you chof_hoe for placing this cache for our enjoyment in the wonderful state of Victoria.

I managed to pick this up just before the " off to school" traffic. Cache was hidden under rubbish which I removed for the next visitor.

Thanks for the hide

Absolutely loved this one

The car key is always to the rescue as a tool. Thanks for the series!

Not clever people are destroying the other corner blue stones everywhere corners aren't a good spot .now for Ur cache U shouldn't have to carry a tool at all if so it should be provided at the cache site ..so yea the cache now U can grab it

As per others I had no luck with the tool, luckily I had what I needed anyway. Spotted the cache pretty quickly but didn’t realise what it was, spent ten minutes looking at other things first! TFTC

Couldn’t find the tool ️ went to search for the cache anyway.. got my own tool and gotcha
Thanks chof_hoe for the cache

Interesting and different! Searching for this one was fun and the inclusion of the tool was unique. Though it was tough to put the case back on. Chozo, Habibi, Beable, Gigil-Peach

Bunadoorian and I were looking for a safe place to park and when we got out of the car we found we were in the right spot for the TOTT waypoint. After the retrieval of the TOTT we headed off to GZ. There were a couple of people working in the area - cutting back the roses. while Bunadoorian chatted with them I went to work finding, signing and replacing the cache. It was then a short walk to return the TOTT. Thank you for the cache and for bringing us here chof_hoe.

Grub62 and I were in the area with a little time to spare and decided that this cache would look good with a smiley face. Grub62 found the tool. So we started over towards GZ when I noticed a couple of muggle council workers doing some maintenance near GZ. Oh dear. As we approached I noticed something that looked promising and gave Grub62 the nod. She went to work as I ran a distraction by engaging in a conversation with the workers. So we were able to conduct our business while they were close by. TFTC.

Parked near tott wp. Figured we’d find that first instead of doubling back. Alas, we couldn’t find it.
So we made our way to gz to see what we needed.
Eventually with a bit of improvisation, we had the cache in hand.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, chof_hoe

OHC and I are both on a run of sorts so decided to team up some caching. With an ice cream to finish, it was a good night!

First tried for the tool but not sure what it would be so went to GZ then it became obvious what was needed. So some McGuire skills and patience and we had it signed.

Thanks to chof_hoe for the placement, fun and adventure.

Good hide

Deceptively clever in its simplicity !

After wandering up to the top of Mt Aitken and coming back down empty handed I tried this Crazyburn cache instead. I spotted it easily but hadn’t read the TOTT requirement. Back to the car and I returned to complete the necessary task so I could write in the log.
A great cache.

Thanks chof_hoe for the cache and for contributing to the game.

Really cool, didn't wrote my name down, left it as is, didn't want the prize to keep stuff going. All fun thanks for this location.

Found it on 24/7/21 with asht32 and emilyprouseee

Had fun finding the tool then the cache. Thanks

Found the cache quickly then had to go back to my car to get a tool. Love these caches. TFTC chof_hoe

Nice hide, even a seat to retrieve. Brought my own Tool, but still a bit of effort required. Easy Fav, T4TC

Found the “tool” but unfortunately my hands got so muddy I couldn’t sign. Thanks for the awesome creative cache!

Cool cache! Bought the correct tool so all good

Great little hide. Had our own tool. TFTC

Found with Anne Therese TFTC.

Our last in the area and while we parked close we where glad of no muggles about as it took awhile to extract. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

Couldn't find the tool

Our first find! TFTC
Didn’t find the tool. Lucky I had one with me.

This morning, I got a couple of hours spare while waiting for the next activity.

After watching the troop of roos hopping down the hill at Mt Aitken, can I still get excited during the nect cache?

Apparently so. This cache was spotted as I was approaching. Upon kneeling down, I was dismayed I had forgotten the need for a tool. I searched my pocket to try the different sized coins but non fitted.

Then I went to my geomobile to get one. And am able to access the cache. So grab and signed the cache log.

TFTC CO.

Found @09:40 after remembering to bring the appropriate tool. It’s nice to turn a frown upside down - this was much easier on a weekday! Left a dinosaur. TFTC!

Found the tool and the cache. Very nice.
TFTC

No sign of the appropriate tool and of course I have nothing but a pen and some swag in my handbag. I will have to return another day.

I had a harder time putting the cache back together than I did finding it great hide! Took=Key Left=ring. Also could not find the tool but I had my own

Out and about last night with Trailstevo and decided to hit Craigieburn. We had a pretty good outing finding most in the area in about 3 hours. A bunch of short brisk walks, a great variety of hides (and a few fav's to hand out) and some pleasant views from the higher vantage points. Double figures of cache and lots of smiley faces. Thanks to Cransie, Chof_hoe, Lauri-wills & Blakepolly16 for the fun night out. Couldn't find the tool but we were well equipped anyway.

Awesome cache! Although I could not find the tool..I had the exact one I needed in my geo-backpack.
I tried hard not to arouse suspicion by working on the cache opening amidst muggles driving, cycling and walking by. No easy task.
Loved it. Tftc.

Out with Gunks and decided to head to Craigieburn and clear a bit of the map. Fairly successful night and some good hides. TFTC

HOO RAH !! .. Another one bites the dust !! Found with Melbmatt50. SL ,TFTC

Found after looking for the unusual. TFTC.

A morning tea at the office required a cache on the way home. Took no time to find the cache. Now the hard bit - to open. Finger nail no good. Back to the car and well no TOTT's here. Had to use the APP to find the WP to get the provided TOTT. With the distance showing how far away I was and not telling me any direction to go I reasonably easily found the WP & tool. Back 100m to the cache, opened and signed. You need the right tool as they are fairly tight. OK another walk to return the tool and then back again to the car. Good, awesome spot and adventure. I like. Thanks chof_hoe.

Tool at waypoint replaced.

Container replaced, ready to be found.

Container replaced, new logsheet, and ensured clue for the final is still there

The container has been damaged, I will disable the listing until I can replace the container.

10:36 cache actively wet, log getting full. Logsheet still in good condition despite the water; expect to have to replace it after the next 5-10 finds. Pencil sharp.

I also had no luck finding the tool.

Took nothing, left key.

Quick find. Outer shell bent and missing screw. Log a bit wet. Other than that all’s good.

Once you have found 1 cache like this you immediately spot this type of hide next time.
One screw missing but easy to undo the 1 remaining here
Thanks chof_hoe

Love caches like these, thanks!

found it TFTC. No sign of the tool but we have learnt to become boy scouts and come prepared lol

Nice easy find with Fayemous... couldn't find the provided tool, but she had a suitable one.

Couldn’t find the tool - had a multi tool in the car which did the trick.
Found with ReesyLou. TFTC

Quick find with Little Blue Wren.TFTC

TFTC. Thanks to Mr. Moroldies we got this one.
Signed and returned.

This is the third I have found using this idea. Had all my tools with me. Muggle free day which was good. SL TFTC

Nice, luckily I had the right tool, great area though

Range of emotions:

Trav: there it is.

Steph: is that a gas pipe?

T: i can't get it. I CANT GET IT. You do it!

S: *cant get it*

T: there's a tool!! That's cool!

T: I think we should give up. Can't find the tool.

S: well I could use a key

T: I'VE GOT KEYS

S: there's a syringe

T: well I'm out!! Hang on, found it.

S: we have to walk all the way back??

T: I hate dirty hands

S: get baby wipes from Coles.

T: that's not the first thing I think of when I go to Coles

S: I got spikey things in my bum! It really hurts!

S: why did you rehide the tool casing thingy?

T: I DIDN't

S: oh there it is

Favourite point anyway! Tftc

Well, here I am less than an hour to midnight, collecting a smiley. Surprise, surprise. I'll be glad when tomorrow's rental inspection is over, and I don't need to spend quite so much time cleaning and tidying.

Anyway, tonight, I got rid of another load of cardboard at the recycling cage, then headed up to Crazyburn. Parking close by, the cache container was quickly identified. Then the fun started. Hmmm nothing in the caching bag; check the car before taking the walk to the tool coordinates... Aha! Exactly what I needed was in the centre console after a job.

Thanks, chof_hoe. Four weeks of consecutive caches, sorted.

(Bugger... It appears I've left the pen I got at the recent Mega behind. Oh well, I guess that's an occupational hazard.)

Noticed an invite on fb so decided to venture to the other side of nowhere and grab some smileys. Mostly successful and able to grab a few not in this series also. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Thankfully someone in our team had the right tool to get this one open. TFTC.

Tftc
Searching for the tool was more difficult than looking for the cache. Looks like someone tried to force open the lid.

Managed to find the hide alright and fortuntately had the tool that I needed,

Find number 6214 at 4:50:24 pm
On the way home from work and out for a few caches to keep my monthly minimum cache finds from dropping any lower than 26, should just get there.
Couldn't find the tool but luckily I bought my own and in no time I had the log in hand and duly signed.
**Thanks for placing this cache chof_hoe**

*18th & 19th November 2017 - GC6GFDX - Alexandra - Victoria*

Suscoe decided to have a day trip to this area to check out the caches to the north of Melbourne.
We got away early and had an enjoyable wander in an area we haven't been to before.
What a mixture of building types and ages.
Thanks to chof_hoe for this one, all quiet near GZ which was appreciated.

Great spot! Took us a little while as we had to wait for muggles to be far enough away. TFTC

??

On a cold and raining Sunday, we stopped by this cache. After reading the details about the tool, we thought we were prepared. We parked nearby and started the search and soon located it. Did we have the right tool? Yes. Nice work on the container, and a very quiet and empty park.

Thanks for the cool cache.

Bet everyone looks at the rock first!
Lucky my car comes with a tool kit.

Wonderful winter's day to spent looking for caches in the suburb.
Glad to be back in geocaching mode, after being off my feet for almost 3 months after a bicycle accident.
Luckily I had my multipurpose tool on me today.
Great hide in a cache name that describes the area prefectly.

Found with EllemTribe

We too were unable to locate said tool... however we were able to retrieve the cache with a tool of our own...
Found with JessMaySeek

I spent about 10 minutes unsuccessfully searching for the tool, luckily I brought my own. Nice placement, smooth. I think that this one deserves a favourite point, even though I couldn't find the tool.

From the overhead view it looked like a footy ground, and I thought it might be busy, but I drove here anyway to find an abandoned crater. I should read descriptions a bit more.
After looking for ages for the tool without much luck, (how many dark holes do you want me to my hand in? ) I headed to gz and soon had cache in hand with a tool of my own.
A hint for the tool location would be nice, as this is almost a Multicache with the extra hunting required.
Thanks for a cache on blue switch day.

A quick find, but slower getting to log, as I had to improvise the required tool, but get in I did, Signed on dotted line and put back as found, Thanks for the hide, chof=hoe, similar to one I have planned

Find#156
Love the two part process to this.....
Well done
TFTC!!

Was told that another Crazyburn cache had appeared so made some time to find this one
I found the cache straight away due to being in the caches construction field
I was also lucky I had the right tool on me
A very clever cache design
And hide
Thanks chof-hoe TFTC

This was amazing thankyou!!!!! Cransie and krams

**Find #950**

Luck plays alot in getting a {FTF}. Lucky I was home and doing nothing, Lucky I checked my emails shortly after the cache was posted, Lucky I was not too far from the cache, Lucky no-one else had beaten me to it. I have had plenty of Silver and Bronze. Today it was gold. The excitement levels go through the roof on the way. A great cache design and I did need to find the tool first. On a cold dark evening the cache was soon signed. A favourite Point given for cache design, tool needed, and the work and thought that has gone into this cache. Well done **chof hoe.** {FTF} TFTC.
