Archived due to frequent muggling of containers

Maintenance check

Second time looking and still no luck. Could the CO please do a check and see if it’s still there?

~ Crazy Creels

Been back but still didn’t find it.

I know where this would have been but there is nothing there.

Still working out here cutting trees down had a good look but could not find it.

Could not find!

Couldn't find

Sorry this took a while to get up and running again - there's been a bit of work going on at GZ. Thank you Bunjil for the nudge Since the area has been cleared and the original hiding place is no longer there, I have moved the cache a few meters to a new hiding place. Hopefully this place won't be disturbed or muggled.

Cheers, and happy caching, kazba16

We're baaaaack!

Disabling due to maintenance

Lengthy look
We'd given up then....
Maybe it's there?
Yes!
No screw top lid so needs some maintenance

Hi there kazba16.

We found your cache **" CHCS - FIVE"** today. (This makes our find count 19149).

Another fine day in Bendigo, so we took the opportunity to finish some unfinished business and clear up an old DNF as well as visiting some solved puzzles as well as any other cache we happened to pass on our travels on our "next closest" run as determined by the GPS. This of course had us driving all over the place as there is hardly ever a direct route. We found 9 caches today & DNF'd 0.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid today. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

***Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container has no lid.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Hi there kazba16,

RE: Your cache **" CHCS - FIVE"**

We are really sorry to report that the cache is missing its lid. There have been some serious tree works at GZ and we suspect the branch holding the container is no more.

It really needs some owner TLC as we didn't have anything to replace it with.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Yayyy!!

Wicked and dark

Nice log

Bit hard

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
Found the rubbish mentioned by other players, heard the footballers coaching each other but no luck with the cache.

Thanks for the hunt anyway kazba16.

Great cache, thanks

Found while enjoying a stroll on a warm autumns evening. Thanks

Today is Clean up Australia Day and this site needs a concerted effort to deal with the cans and waste around the perimeter

Found with TeamRobbie. Thanks for the cache!

Found it with emthegem tftc

Found First for momths.First for 2018

In town for a few days. Up early to try and grab a few before it reaches 40+ day with Snap Happy. While the geoson was playing pokemon, we grabbed this quick find.
Thanks kazba16 for placing the cache for us to find.

**Find #1815**

Out caching today with a new member in the team. I have not been here in many years. Played junior footy here way back. The place has changed a lot. Thought there was a dead body near by but on further investigation it was a NYE reviler lying in the dirt recovering from a big night.

Thanks **kazba16**

Out caching for new years day
Happy new year to all geocachers

A quick grab as teh last cache for the year and not too far from home. I have removed the cigarette papers and some strange metal tube - looks like it might have been discovered a couple of times but all is well.

HNY Karen and Cooper

A quick scrabble around. Some prickly shrubs. But found it. My lasy cache find for the year. TFTC

Thanks Cooer for a nice quick find in a lovely reserve.

Hidden in a nice spot.

**# 20064** Found on the Vic leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A perfect warm Spring day for a drive around while in Bendigo.
Hardly any muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache kazba16,
***Roostaman***

Thanks kazba16, I came up here from Melbourne with my mate amaali for a days caching and this one didn't disappoint a great hide in a great area. Dropped a trackable.

My second find for the day and a nice walk many thanks for the cache.

Suscoe decided to have a day out to the north west of Bendigo and then to return and take on some Bendigo caches too.
It was a sunny day early one but clouds rolled in in the afternoon and kept things cool today.
Just ideal weather for caching really.
We had a great time exploring places we had never been, revisiting some roads we have been down, seeing sheep and cows and lots of grain paddocks as well as a gigantic hay storage place.
Thanks to kazba16 for placing this cache showing us these places.
Little cricketeers across the way this afternoon.

Such a cute little geo cache.
Left a cute surprise for the next Fri cacher kid.

On a 3 day weekend with the fiancée in the caravan, we managed 18 finds & 3 DNF's. A 120km journey took 4.5 hrs so this was good as there were just so many to get. Had to dodge the under 10's playing cricket, but could spot the cache from 'Silly Point' as it had been muggled laying on the ground. Returned to a slightly better hiding spot with the same co-ords.

Great cache.

Sitting at my computer during these Covid lockdowns, I am trying to catch up on a few logs that I haven't sent in yet.

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late log, something I am notorious for. Thank you for adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Thanks kazba16 (F=707 H=24) for the cache.

Gotcha

Little skrew top container

Tftc nice quick find took nothing left a travel bug

Was a good find

Took a bit to find but we did it we swapped a dice An left something cool

EJ found it quite quickly. Thanks Cooper

Found it. Nice hiding spot

Found easy

Nice

Great hide, thanks

Again I was lucky with an empty oval.
Nice little hide and I took the tb that was here

Thanks Cooper for this very cute cache. We swapped a bouncy ball for a shopkins figurine. No Muggles around today. The geoKids enjoyed the nearby playground and dropped off some painted rocks as well.

Thanks for the cache

Found by DotG, Use to play cricket here a long time ago, has changed a bit since then. Quick find TFTC which was in good order

Another great find

A vacant date on my calendar and the last of this series. Took Tb JMW left new TB midnight dolphin ..thanks kazba16 for the fun. .

Great hide!

Found with geo_wife. We made a quick find of this cache and dropped off a trackable. Thanks for the cache.

Find #1408 for me. Given that I've found almost everything else in Bendigo below T4 (which are out of reach for me!), I was originally planning to spread the joy finding this series out by looking for them one cache at a time during my lunch breaks at work. But an opportunity to get out today (Saturday), together with an empty calendar date that needed filling, meant that I abandoned that idea and completed the last 3 of the series in one hit. There was a football match in progress at the oval today, so I was wondering if I'd have to postpone this one til another time, but they were occupied with their thing and not paying any attention to me. Luckily it wasn't long before I found the cache and was able to move along... Thanks for this cache and the series Cooper and Karen - had a lot of fun finding them all! P.S. - loved the additional camo - cute!

Couldn't find
Did find condom wrappers and syringe packets! Being with my 5 year old, decided at that point that we'd tried our best, but no find...

Found this one very quick was out in the open Signed and replaced.
Covered better. TFTC.

Amazing what a difference light makes to finding a cache. Oh, and some younger sets of eyes!
Tried quickly the night it was published, but in the dark with insufficient rays wasn't successful. Today a pair of Italian eyes had it found quickly in the rain.
Thanks Kasba16 for another great cache. Hopefully we will have some of our own out soon.

Thanks for the cache Cooper! Great hiding spot!

Just dropped by to check on cache after the previous DNF. All good at GZ! Cache is still there waiting to be discovered Kazba16

Well camouflaged. Thanks.

Wasted half an hour on this and gave up in disgust. I hate pine needles!

Tftc! Found it with docnwitchjy and spamstewy

found today, saw the notification so russed down to try and find this GC, where i met gurishka and docNwitchjy who had recently found it.

Thanks kazba16 for the GC

Published

Saw the notification while out looking for others so rushed to get here. Took way longer than it should have, we searched everywhere as it was a competition between us to see who could find the most today. Finally got my hands on it while Gurishka and Spamstewy were sitting down regrouping. TFTC
