Walked out without checking the logs - why is this still active? After SO many logs about it missing? If you don't want to be part of the game anymore, deactivate.

Same as the last 3 DNFs, not sure its still here?

Walked in to this one without looking at previous logs. Agree with others, it's gone.

No luck here today, if its as obvious as the logs say then I shouldve noticed it.

No sign of anything - cache blindness or !

Heading home after a fab couple of days in Mildura. Am going to try hard to not stop for every single one as Ill never get home. Thanks for your cache oceangirl4 on my journey home to South Gippsland Regards kbuckyLove the sound of the curlews

It felt like high time to get out caching again after a day off and I was itching for a bit of a drive and a cache out of town. I checked the map and the Wedderburn area looked inviting so away I scooted. I am hoping to find about eight or ten caches today.

The geopooch and I have been really missing our geocaching adventures over the last few months but today we are both smiling to be back out in the bush, exploring and finding treasure. Usually what she and I search for are different things but both she and i thought this was an awesome cache, two paws up!

Another awesome geocache, which gets another favourite point, TFT, sea ocean girl

There is no dog

Found it

Great hide. Kids loved it. Heading home from a visit to Bendigo for the weekend. Normally we are pushed for time so it has been nice to stop and find some caches along the way today. TFTC

Newbies only our third find, a very good placement and well-made cache, enjoyable walk from the Pioneer Caravan Park, TFTC

A little behind on my logs, but found with heymissjo as part of our mammoth long weekend road trip.

#1322
A bold hide in the middle of no where! A great cache I am sure my geo-pup would have loved if she was with us, but alas just The Welder and I today! Thanks for the cache.

What a great hide and cache with a log book that will last about a 1000 years. Well done!!! All doing well.

Such a lovely kennel I almost expected to hear a woof woof from inside it. A favourite point TFTC oceangirl04

Having a great time around Wedderburn, what a great place to visit and explore the country side and picking up some caches along the way. Thank you pacing this cache

Find #2550 for me. Found at 12:28 pm with my dog Bonnie while visiting the area from Bendigo. I spotted this one from a good distance, and knowing the name of the cache, I knew straight away what it was. Wow, what an incredible construction here in the middle of the bush! Amazing, and I'm being spoilt by lots of fantastic, creative caches in Wedderburn! I've run out of favorite points to give, but I'd love to give this one a FP when I accumulate some more. Thanks for the fantastic effort put into this one, and thanks for such a creative cache oceangirl04!

This one was really cute. My geodog found it before I did. tftc.

Found today on our trip up north. A nice surprise at GZ. Thanks from D &HA B-A.

Such a cute cache. Love the fact it can survive here in pristine condition! TFTC

Mans best friend gave me an enormous fright. That’s one unmissable cache. Thanks

Made a last minute decision to hitch up the GeoPod and take off for an overnight getaway to target some caches on some roads less travelled, and in particular to head towards the 2017 Wedderburn caches we have been intending to find for ages.

Spotted this cute cache from a distance. Its guardian had been in the weather a bit, but it was placed back safe and sound once we signed the log. TFTC oceangirl04. Fave point from us.

Mini road trip to Tresco this afternoon with Boo09, Neisha07 & Chan02.
We decided to detour via Bealiba to check on a cache I own and continued on via Wedderburn and Boort for something different.
We took the slightly longer way in to Wedderburn to grab the 2 here before stopping for lunch.
The 10 year old loved this one and happily removed al the spider webs to retrieve it for us.
TFTC

Found with Becca85, Neisha07 & Chan02 on our way to see our new baby cousin.
A very cool cache. TFTC

Found with Becca85, Boo09 & Chan02 on our way to see family in Tresco.
I liked this one. TFTC

Excellent cache in good condition

Clearly understand the name upon finding this 'discrete' cache. Lol. Fav point from me.

We started the day looking for some caches in Wedderburn. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a superbly constructed themed cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks oceangirl04 for the cache - it earns a favourite from us.

Found while attending the Mega. TFTC.

Favorite point added.

Loved this cache so much I gave it a favourite

Tftc nice drive from dunolly

What a surprise to find this very impressive cache out in the bush. Kids would love finding it. We signed and on to more caches. Thanks, a favourite is given.

Awww, how cute is that!
Easy to find as well.
A favorite for sure.
TFTC

Apologies for the late log, heading back to Melbourne from Charlton via a slightly scenic route picking up a few caches on the way and this was next. Drove down the side road until I was about 50m away then walked the rest of the way to the really nice hide, love this sort of thing!!! Thanks to oceangirl04 for this one, nicely done

Love the cache. I own a similar one in SA

CCno.3 was in Wedderburn for the weekend with her BF and he had found quite a few caches around the place without a GPS or an account. He always rehides them and tells CCno.3 about them so she's gone to cross them off the unfound list. TNLNSL. TFTC

Dog gone, What an awesome cache!!
Nice easy find. TFTC

Found on my first days geocaching in the St Arnnaud area. Well I had no problems find this cache and it's guardian. Cache OK, TFTC

Well, this has got to be my favourite for the day! Well made and very cute to find. Cache is in great condition.

tftc. awesome cache. fave point.

So where it the lost pooch ??
A short wander along the geoctrail later,
I soon sniffed it out

Hiya fella
Got a geocache for me ??

Grrrrrrrrr!! [:o]

A bribe of a bit of chocolate quietened the pooch down
(Don't give your dogs or cats chocolate in the real world ...
... it does quieten them down ...
... and the vet will appreciate your business.)

TFTC.

First find for 2018. Such a cute cache!! Loved it! TFTC

I walked the bush today expecting to see an animal or two, this wasn't quite what I had in mind.

As I wandered up to GZ I was surprised not only with the size of the cache but how it was boldly sitting out there in the open. I loved it.

TFTC

Suscoe had a big day out in the Wedderburn and surrounds area on this delightful Spring day.
50 finds from 50 caches, Whoo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
We enjoyed a very early start and saw lots of interesting countryside. Hilly tracks, bush, granite outcrops, lots of quartz, some old equipment, beaut gardens, buildings aplenty and even a solar array, what a great day to be out and about.
Thanks to oceangirl04

Well the fake animal did have to move outside for a minute whilst I accessed the cache
A favourite this one

17:50
Bendigo to Wedderburn, retracing a few tracks from the past. A timely reminder of a best friend we share with our daughter!

Satellites today had our GZ 17 metres east of where we found the cache.

Thanks oceangirl04 for placing this cache.

Aw, how cute. A huge thanks to you for the thought that went into the construction of this cache and the joy that it will give to many geocachers. We look forward to many more caches from you in the future.
The cache is in excellent condition. SL TFTC

A great kids cache - both young and old. Put a big smile on my face. Thank you.

A great day of Geocaching with my mates Muff1 who supplied the transport and local knowledge today. Started with the St Arnaud CITO and finished back home at 11.40pm. SL TNLN TFTC.

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks oceangirl04 for placing this cache.

31 cache finds and 2 fantastic events attended makes for a wonderful weekend away geocaching! [^]
Especially when the caching is in the old blokes' territory and you just know thta you are going to be going 'oooh, aaah, awesome!' over and over again!
Even the weather played its part by showering us with rainbows, sunshine and rain all at the same time [^]

I'm sure missing my 'woman's best friend' as he is in Adelaide while I am here alone
Cute as this one is though, it is just not quite the same

TNLN. SL. TFTC oceangirl04

Great hide TFTC

Found this very nicely constructed cache as we wandered around after the breakfast meet. Well done for a first cache oceangirl04, very nice idea. TFTC

Find No. 1742. Found at 4.35pm.

After attending the Lunch time event in Wedderburn we had the whole afternoon to do as we pleased, so off we went caching again to locate the rest of the caches placed for this event.

Just loved this one. A FAV point from us. And we gave Fido a pat before we departed. Just as well he was a friendly Fido.

TFTC oceangirl04

Working our way through as many newly published caches before the lunch Event in the company of GemmaSistema and Wozzle68 . Awesome cache oceangirl04, a favourite point well deserved.

Found with FUF009 while in the area for the weekends events and fun. Tftc

Find # 4231 @ 1057 H
Found with sharkiefan
Pulled up here just as Tritons, wozzle68 and GemmaSistema were leaving. They all told us that this cache was cool. well they were not wrong. Just wondering what dog is now homeless, as this GZ could be used for a real hound.

TFTC oceangirl04 and well done on your first hide.

A very cute geocache, TFTC

Found with BillGosse. TFTC

A great cache oceangirl. TFTC

What an awesome first cache! Well done! So very very cute! Adding a fav!

Today I cached Wedderburn and surrounds with The Tritonz and Wozzle68. We had a fabulous day exploring the area and finding a great variety of hides. So many creative hides! Many thanks

Well done oceangirl04 on you first cache a great idea.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

The annual Wedderburn Weekend run by The Old Blokes and a few friends. Always a fantastic weekend and very creative caches.

Well, I didn;t expect such a well made cache hide. This one's good enough for a live occupant rather than the current one.

Thank you, oceangirl04, for this cache.
#3888. Log signed at 1034Hrs.
(I often signed the log book as "W+W" to save paper/time/ink)

Another great Day out in Wedderburn. Came up for the dual events and all the new caches, and wasn't disappointed. Spent the morning meeting cachers in the wild, and the afternoon caching with friends.
If this is an example of the size of caches you will be hiding, I say, bring them on!
A very cute and great sized cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found with Tassy Devil. A very impressive cache. Thanks

The youngest Fergzter had control of the GPS for this one so we took an very "interesting" path into the GZ here today. With a bit of help he got the logbook out and played with the toys as the adults signed the log. TFTC Oceangirl04

A well set up cache worth a fave thanks for the hide

Found with highrod
