FAKE Eagle Rock #2 Werribee, Victoria, Australia
By arkbell80 on 03-Jun-17. Waypoint GC76P2D

Unfortunately this one has gone missing. I will not replace it as the one that was placed here was found at Eagle Rock and I won't be placing a fake of a fake. Thanks to everyone who found it.

Had another look for this one this morning. Still could not find it. Considering the placement of the other two fake eagle rock caches I thought I would find this easy enough. It would not appear to be this way. Will come back and try again! Need to get the smiley on this one.

Had a look for this one today and could not find it. GPS was all over the place. Will try again on my next ride.

Had the day off to visit the Eagle Rock legendary cache. Since I could not find this one even after PAF, decided I was wasting my time with the D5 original. Why oh why do I have trouble with these supposedly easy ones!

Gotta log this as a DNF, spent an hour here with no joy. Will be back though, it can't be this hard. TFTC

Mean as

Replaced Log Sheet with new one. Cache is in good order.

All fixed and ready to go.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make regular visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. You need to disable the cache if you cannot attend to it promptly - I have disabled it this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 3rd June?**

If you cannot respond to the situation as requested, please add a note to the cache page detailing the situation **and providing an actual date when you expect the situation to be resolved.** This is to allow others to understand the what is happening - as well as - to prevent the cache from being de-listed as abandoned.

Have a read of the [Geocache Maintenance guideline](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) which explain a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

I also want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing this cache up and running in the future.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Find #9490

After finishing up at my nearby event, I hitched a lift with leafotwind and nirgalagrin to find some of the unfound caches in the area. It was a pleasant afternoon chatting and throwing in a few smileys just for fun

Cache was found in A1 condition, I think the CO just needs to remove the NM flag.

Many thanks to arkbell80 for the cache. TNLN.

After attending the nearby event, ahomburg, myself and nirgalagrin wandered off to find this small mini series. Although both nirgalagrin and I spotted the correct hole through the screening vegetation at the same time he took a slightly different entry point. Consequently I put my mitts on it first.

Out with ahomburg and leafotwind, taking a nice walk in the sunshine along the river after the nearby Mega lead-up event...

A nice quick find as we continued upriver.

Thanks for turning an annoyance into a mini series, arkbell80.

After attending the nearby event I returned here. I had had a short search before, but ran out of time, so back for a more thorough look which soon resulted in success TFTC arkbell80

Cool. Cache good condition but the log is full. Sun out 11° TFTC Cheers

This was a good secluded spot away from any prying eyes. Although they weren't really going to be an issue with the rain showers keeping the muggles well and truly away. The log is full so I signed up the side of the sheet and took a photo just in case.

Thanks to arkbell80 for placing this cache.

Easy find TFTC

Log book is full

Great hide!

Was working along the Werribee River today, and stopped next to a patch of trees for lunch. Happened to look at the geocaching app, and there was one 11m away! Jumped up, and made a fairly quick find. An excellent hide, with some good detail to it. Thanks!

Yay! Got a fake eagle rock cache after attempting the mother eagle

Done! Not as creative as others

Didn't have a pen with us today, but this tricky little bugger took us a fair while to find, i had my 83 year old nanna in the bushes with me.

This one took longer than expected to find but BFMC spotted it on the right angle. How did we miss that one! Still singing Eagle Rick in my head!
Log is full but signed

Quick find with CNLL post DNF on the real deal - TFTC

Log is full

Nice quick find while I dodged a staffing that kept barking at me and the fricking owner stood around saying, ‘I’m not sure if she is happy or upset with you’. Who cares, bloody pull her off me! Knew I couldn’t find Eagle a Rock so cut my losses and headed back.

Easy one.

Second find

we followed clues from the comments and still couldnt find a thing

enter the jungle to find this cache

Found this one with dmcookie

Found by The Empire
Happy Australia Day! After an Australia Day morning in Lara, I decided to clean up a few caches closer to home before it got too humid. A DNF was rectified today and the cache exposed itself easily today. Sometimes its all about the angles. Thanks for the cache arkbell80.

Enjoying our stroll along the river. Thanks

Found on a day trip to Werribee to grab the fake caches. TFTC

Hi there arkbell80.

We found your cache **"FAKE Eagle Rock #2"** at 1:00:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 18396).

We started the day off by looking for "Eagle Rock - Daddy Cool". Then we headed off to find something easier.

We found 3 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 4m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found it! Thank you! Aimee, Molly and Peppa

Tricky but fun! Good luck peeps.

Tftc!!

It really was just a matter of getting in the right position to spot this one. Nice and sheltered in here
Cheers

A quick find on a walk with the dog, tftc

17/09/2017 5:54:00 PM - A systematic search here resulted in a quick find for me today. I quite like the camo material on the cache too.


Thanks arkbell80

Found it

Not sure if it's my gps but no sign of it. Looking for a long time as I hate it when I can't seem to find it

One last look and at last I found it. I just can't give up. Gps coordinates are not quite correct around 6meters out but don't give up, it's still there

Thanks

*Out and about grabbing a cache to keep my streak alive*...

**327** *consecutive days with finds*

Another one crossed off in this series. Good to be back from my 4+ months away and time to clean up some of the many new caches (and one or two older ones).

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment arkbell80. Appreciate your effort.
Greetings from Victoria.

Great find!

Found by caughtatwork at 16:35 on 20/08/2017
Found the fake #2 with no problems.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache being placed here so we could come out and find it.

This was a bit of a toughie, but managed to find it after some bush whacking

Huzzah! Got ya! It's a lovely cool morning and I'm very glad that the longer than I wanted time spent looking was worth it! TFTC TN LN SL Returned it to its hiding place.

Yeah find it

Had a great overnight stay in Werribee
Took the opportunity to grab this one during an early morning stroll along the river
Many thanx to arkbell80

At least we have found something that has Eagle Rock in its name. A busy day, but a little bit of time to kill between appointments, errands, dinner, and footy. Took some careful looking, then spotted it from afar. Hooray. TFTC arkbell80

Found it! this is our try at geocache

Wow. What a cold day to be about. Determined to knock off these along the river. Find after some fighting with the trees. TFTC

Ye

Tftc. Ace. Bit difficult to find. About 5 foot off ground.

Lovely walking along the river today. Nice to be out and about.
TFTC arkbell80

Tricksy!!!

Down this way to look at a possible new car. Brought the kids, and as the dealer was just at the end of the road I had to get a name on Eagle Rock.

But that was not to be - it was consolation that this one was nearby and avaiable.

Thanks for this one Arkbell80 - some good fun with the kids but the ultimate prize remains hidden oh so closely.

A nice stroll with the family to sign a couple of logs either side of a sad blue face. TFTC

As per our log for #1 we achieved success here quite quickly. One day we hope to be able to say the same about the real Eagle Rock.
Our pen gave up the ghost and refused to allow us to place our mark on the log sheet. We crushed up a few biits of green leaf and rubbed it onto the log sheet, we will fix this when we next return to the area. SL TFTC

Heard Geodad yell arrhhaa. He found it in a nice hiding spot. TFTC. TB visit

Another find to youngest Geokid.

Another lovely walk this area - did not take long to find this well hidden cache. Fortunately there were no muggles here this am! Nice little series that was much appreciated.

After finding #1 and cleaning day #239 off my calendar, I now had a double motivation to find this particular cache today: first, I'm still trying to move my centroid a bit closer to home so I can have a crack at the Centurion Centroid challenge cache without having to do a 1000 km + round trip; and second, I doubt I'll ever find the real Evil Rock, so minor consolation prize of finding both of the two FAKE Eagle Rocks.

The cache is in good condition.

With a 3am start at the Geelong 2017 Flash Mob Simsfamily, No worries and Nevile Devil decided to continue on with visits to Werribee, Melbourne Art Centre, FairField, Lysterfield, Cranbourne and every corner of Casey just to have fun with Great company and laughs along the way.

We thankfully were able to make a find here unlike its namesake.

Thanks for the cache arkbell80

Full log later

Nice find

Hahaha! I DNF'd the actual Eagle Rock a while back, now I can DNF a fake. I couldn't locate this cache today, if I can't spot it in the first few minutes, I'm not going to find it, so I headed back to the car! Maybe another day.

Go figure that!
Tackle head find fake Eagle Rock two !
Thank you for your geocache arkbell80

Found by Mary & David at 1646. Nice to have a new cache fairly close to maccamob HQ to keep our streak going, now at Day 385. Took a couple of minutes searching around in the greenery before the container revealed itself. Wonder how many more "fakes" will appear around here in this new role? Our thanks to arkbell80.

11:30
Returning to Geelong, in the good company of fellow Geelong cachers, the Suscoe duo, we could not help making a diversion to pass through Werribee. The Suscoes were right onto this one, great to add our name to this well repurposed cache. If the series continues, we will be back!

Thanks arkbell80 for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Suscoe continued our journey down stream with Phetlern and we folllowed the weed spraying team from the Council.
Thanksfully they continued walking and we stopped, spread out and looked.
Soon we had found what we had been seeking.
Seeing Fake News has become a talking point inspired by the Whaite House we were pleased to have this bit of Fake Cache in our hands, but hang on, if it was fake then how did we found it and sign the log?????????

Some thing to contemplate!!!!!!

Thanks to arkbell80 for this hide.

Good work in recycling!!!!

Na'wal and I moved on with B Boy in tow, to search for this one. Na'wal did the honours here. I decided to have a look at the original 'real' rock on the way back to the car before heading helter skelter back home .
Thanks for the company Na'wal and the cache arkbell80

The geo boy and I decided to go for a few caches this morning, a play @ the park and some morning tea. The morning was a great one as it is the geo boy's birthday. After teaming up with 6Hinemoa2 for the FTF on the other in this series, we moved along and found this one quickly. It was great to catch up with 6Hinemoa2 as we had not seen each other for a short while. We walked back to where the geo wheels were and parted ways. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for placing this trad cache arkbell80**

Go me. 24 consecutive months!
Loving the fakes. Keep 'em coming.

Our closest find to a FTF.... 2nd to find!
Geoteen had been scoping these new caches at school when she should have been studying! And was keen to try them the minute I walked in the door from work... getting dark... but we managed to find this one. Thanks for cleaning up the fakes!
