In Woodend today at it was Clock Tower Time to turn that frown upside down. A super quick find this time. A great place to visit.

Thanks **Woodwhitty**

Find #175@ 6:55pm on 23/1/20 found after eating at a local pub. I was definitely expecting this to be hard due to high difficulty rating and what others had said, but I spotted instantly! It took more time to open it than to find it!!!

A Memorial that I imagined would be memorable in more ways than one except I spied the wee mag relatively quickly. Well kept tribute. In Woodend to fuel up after a long MTB in the Wombat State Forest TFTC
 
16-Jan-20
After eating an Ice cream, Mrs one-eyed and I and our Daughters Father In Law tried for a reasonable time for this cache.
No Luck at all. very hot day.

So this one has been nothing but a nightmare for me haha, this is like my 5th time coming here today, and guess what... I FINALLY found it!! Only after TroyFindz actually showed me a photo where it was because it was driving me nuts not knowing the place haha. So I'm finally excited to mark the only sad face in Woodend. Thank you!! Cache has seen better day, log book is a bit damp
 
03-Nov-19
Heading up to an event at Lauriston and stopped here to collect this cache in the early morning. It took quite some time to locate. It was only previous logs and pictures that I was able to finally locate this one.

So glad to mark this one off today. It's been plaguing me for months. I think I've counted 6 revisits on this cache. And each time I've walked away empty handed.. NOT TODAY!! Thanks woodwitty for the cache. Logs seen better days but is still usable for now.
 
31-Oct-19
I had no luck about a year ago when I was last here. This time, I circled the clocktower with my coffee before deciding where to search. Today, I found it quite quickly. TFTC
 
27-Oct-19
Found with geofam when revisiting my childhood neighbourhood, on the way back home. Cute hide TFTC pretty quick and petite!!
 
26-Oct-19
We weren’t sure what to expect here after reading recent logs. Found the cache sitting in the open and intact. We couldn’t undo it with our fingers so took it to the geoCruiser to access a TOTT. Got it undone, SL at 11.34am and replaced the O-ring. All good now and put back where we thought it should be. #6554 TFTC Woodwhitty

Tricky!!
 
22-Sep-19
Wow, that was hard!
 
30-Aug-19
Had a quick look, couldn't see it. Read the logs knowing that the hider is a sneaky cache owner. Quickly re thought and had cache in hand. Thankyou.
 
30-Aug-19
Cache is definitely there guys.. Look harder.
 
24-Aug-19
Maybe gone since clock tower upgrade?
 
24-Aug-19

17-Aug-19
Muggles around but was able to have a reasonably good look but no luck.
 
23-Jul-19

23-Jun-19
Renovations to the clock tower are complete. Cache checked yesterday and all is good to go. Good luck!
 
23-Jun-19
I couldn't find it today sadly.. may try and have another look some other time Sad
 
17-Feb-19
There is construction work underway at this location. Wonder if thats why we dnf?
 
17-Feb-19
Renovation works on the clocktower make this cache almost impossible to get due to the safety fencing. Will reactivate when works are finished.
 
30-Dec-18
Cache checked just now. All in good order...it's definitely here! If you are having trouble locating it, I suggest looking a little more broadly for things that might go with the hint..and don't forget it's a micro! Good luck!
 
30-Dec-18

Out and about with Bogonghazy and geodog Tess in great weather for caching. The plan is to clear up some of the new caches in Gisborne and Woodend.

Searched for some time here but with it being remembrance day, there were wreaths of poppies everywhere making it difficult to search. We will come back another day and continue the search.
 
31-Oct-18
Looked for ages

Away for a long weekend of caching with Freddo and Four Fun.

Over 300 caches in 4 days means that the logs will be mainly generic.

The main target of our mission was to finish off the Mt Disappointment series. We achieved our target along with other caches as we headed east and then west.

My apologies for the generic logs.

Away for an extended long weekend of caching with Freddo and Team Waldron.
The main target was the Dad's Driving Series, and it was definately a fun exercise collecting the series but with that completed we focused on some other caches and making our way back to SA, very slowly [^]
This was one of the fun stops along the way
Cheers & TFTH Woodwhitty

On our way to check out Turpins Falls, we thought we'd cruise through Woodend and see what this quaint little town has to offer. Tricky, tricky, tricky... Thanks for the cache Woodwhitty.

No luck today unfortunately.
 
23-Jun-18
Tried few times but no luck.
 
16-Jun-18
Checked on this little one this morning. All is good. Cache is in situ...you may need a log extraction tool as the weather gets colder and your fingers get cold. The recent DNFs were due to the number of muggles about...the pub across the road is a really popular tourist stop. You will need to be very sneaky and think about your approach!
 
10-Jun-18
Had to abandon the hunt. Just too many muggles around
 
02-Jun-18
*Out and about with TR! today*. Cool

Two of us searched every likely hiding spot in the vicinity and unlikely spot. Our finger tips are roughened up and sore but no cache could be found. We’ll have to to come back some time. It at least made me look with a more discerning eye at this clock tower. Attractive building.

Found my first really little one, I couldn’t sign the log it I had no way of getting it back in.

I first seen a snail on the wall and then thought wow that looks just like a snail , and it was. another lap of the tower and I found it.

I read all the plaques on the building and I blows my mind to think how many people from these really small towns left everything to go fight in wars.
 
02-May-18

A somewhat unplanned visit to Woodend, revealed some intriguing caches and places- Wink the address of some not unlike the iconic www internet address "wood whitty woodend"
We really should have had more faith in the GPS'r today, it was right on target!

Thanks Woodwhitty for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.
