Not a Pope Corinella, Victoria, Australia
By tassieexpat on 27-Dec-17. Waypoint GC7GERR

Gave this a cursory look, being not a fan of extended searches with houses looking on. Makes me feel a little self-conscious. Anyway, my half-hearted attempt yielded no result today. Oh well.

So much easier than than I made it. Nice and simple. TFTC

Will need to bring tweezers

Took us longer than it should have good thing we have a cute dog that distracts the muggles

Found on a lovely crisp day walking the track with the whole family TFTC

Greta find, great hiding spot

A busy little walking trail but between muggles we signed the log. TFTC

Nice little clue for this cache, I like it. TFTC

TFTC SL - spending the arvo trying to find the caches in Coronet Bay and Corinella with the geodogs . Loving the walk along this track

We are staying at Jam Jerrup for the weekend for a friend’s 60th birthday party. The party isn’t till tonight so we are spending the day caching …. Well …around the shocking weather that is! It was raining when we got up, then clouds and fog descended and we couldn’t see French Island anymore from the lounge-room of the holiday house. Finally it cleared so we set off and this was the next cache on the agenda. We drove around to this one and enjoyed the little walk here. JMelb was the lucky one to spot it where G had already briefly looked lol

Thanks tassieexpat, another nice little hide as always. Found with Jimmytherat on a better day weather wise than yesterday, still chilly however sun is shining so all is good!

The details were a great help

Found it on my way to our Hoilday house in Cape Woolamai work is really quiet so why not make the most of it and go caching on the island.
Sl thanks for the cache.

Great container, gives me an idea. Tftc

Took a moment or two to work out what the title meant. Needed to do some obligatory 'loitering with intent' as a group of muggles and their doggo passed by. Kicked a few bushes before stumbling on something that sort of belonged, but not really! Log retrieved, signed and replaced as found. FP for the stealth required and the cache container

Sprinkler under the bush took a while but found it

Easy find. Log sheet damp but it's write in the rain paper so was able to sign

nice and easy, TFTC )

I certainly needed divine guidance even if not from the pope! Was about to give up when I tried something else and there it was. Is the pope a slug? Cache a little gross and think an end is missing. Tftc tassieexpat

Still here 28/9/22

This cache took way too long...GPS wasn't playing nice...many shoe laces were retied, untill I eventually spied the cache. It sure wasn't a pope.

Out and about exploring with Smithies Outback for the day, great spot for a walk along the cliff top tftc

Braving this blustery day out hunting caches with The 4WD Shed. A nice cold stroll to find this one. TFTC

Not a pope indeed!
Replaced where found.
TFTC

GPS sending me in circles but hint helped

Tftc

A nice walk this morning before the heat set in (Yes, 28° is hot for this expat Taswegian lol). Only met 1 dog out walking his muggle. Cleaned out. Happy hunting.

Tftc love the hint

Found with katdogg. Cache has become an ant colony and they were everywhere

Cache is full of ants

Located easily enough, but the cache was filled with ants and larvae, eep. It was a bit icky to retrieve the log. Lovely spot though!

Took a while to find, beautiful path to walk along and not a single soul . Thanks for placing these caches, its brought us to this area which is now a favourite place yo visit regularly.

Hint was straight forward enough. TFTC

#5 for today.

A most beautiful day to tackle this line of caches, on what has to be one of the best kept secret coastlines in Victoria. It was amazingly calm, scenic and the sunset by the end of the day was just magic. Glad we stuck around for as long as we could today.

Thanks for bringing us out here tassieexpat

While I stood there looking helplessly, wondering where to start, my daughter looked down and yelled “Found it!” Smarty Pants. Thank you for the cache!

On a road trip to Phillip Island for a couple of weeks, picking up random caches as we travel around seeing the sites. Today we visited Corinella and Coronet Bay. From the information provided we knew where it was going to be , it just took us longer than it should have to find but Mr Pooky soon spotted the hide. TFTC. The area here was deserted today.

Found it TFTC

Finally started to heat up in the day so our timing for this one was off as we had the sun directly on us. After a while the kids just wanted to keep going so we tackled this one on our back and made short work of it. Always seems easier on the return journey. Tftc

Oh god! We thought lost our streak! But still... 15/15 caches so far today

#4465 In a rare achievement, we, ok, Mrs BGF found the little sucker in the first place we looked . All our popes and dreams had come true . TFTC tassieexpat.

@ 7345 finds
In the area for a caching event and to catch up with my geo buddy Rebel Acts.
Perfect weather on the 1st day of 2021, really enjoyed this series and the walk along a very picturesque bath.
Cheers for the cache

Great find with the clues

Found by PIVS!

The weather was looking good , with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I headed to Corinella via the Gurdies armed with My mask and Sanitizer, I had a great day exploring the region. There were quite a few challenging and novel hides in the area. this is one of the caches I found today. This one took way longer than it should have, I am not a fan of caches in this type of grass, it tends to cut and I have a few scrathes to prove it. I was about to give up but a call to the CO and a hint had me heading back where I found it straght away this time.

Thanks tassieexpat for the cache.

Found ages ago but have a new account!
Great hide, Great Camouflage!

New log sheet. frmen1 and I are enjoying the maintenance walk today.

Tried coming from a different direction and got it straight away

Nice to learn different definitions of ‘Pope’- not what I first thought yet understood once it was in my hands. Easy find tftc

What a great theme here and a very nice series of caches in a hidden gem of a walking path. We rode our bikes around here and were surprised at how busy it was.
Thanks for the fun here today tassieexpat.
Ha Ha - the name makes sense now.

After my FTF attempt was aborted because it got found while I was on route, I found myself in this area with a spare 2 hours. I hadn't downloaded or planned anything, but I remembered I had a few caches along here unfound.

Took some time to find, but took even longer to open, as it was dethreaded and I struggled to open it with numb fingers

Thanks for the cache Tassie Expat
Hunter

️ thanks!

We enjoyed the walk along the track, a tad windy, enjoyed the views and the variety of hides and to a place we have not visited before..

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks tassieexpat for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

While camped in Grantville with a group of friends I made the time to do some touring aroundo the district and collect a few caches as I went. If I’d looked a bit more thoroughly I’d have wasted less time here. Luckily the area was muggle free TFTC tassieexpat

Suscoe found this was not a pope.
It was certainly something else.
Found after a short search.

Thanks to tassieexpats for this hide.

Out to find a few caches on the first day of the New Year. My main target was a cache placed in March 2001 and once I had found that I grabbed a few others in the same area. Not as hot as some recent days so it was very pleasant to be out and about caching. I headed to an event in Bass and then on to here for my last stint of caching for the day. I had a DNF here earlier in the year so had to come back and try to put that right when I was in the area. A quick find this time as I went almost right to it! Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache and the series along here tassieexpat.

Well no, it wasn't a pope. Fortunately it was in the first place I looked.

Found by Mary and David at 13:30. Wondered about the name until we found the cache. So many places to look in such a small area. Now it all makes sense. Our thanks to tassieexpat.

Now the name makes sense I should have picked it. Thanks for the cache

As we approached GZ, we were fairly certain we knew what to look for, Sure enough, we found the cleverly hidden cache. TFTC tassieexpat.
Chiefton

Now maggiewb1s being a smartpants, finally found one herself.....

Uh oh starting to get pinned down by the local muggles

??

No luck for me here. After two nearby finds I tried this one. I gave it a good look but there were lots of possible options and I couldn't spot it this time. Thanks anyway.

My friend and I gave the area a thorough search , but no luck .

Geo-grandma (who is actually a muggle) saved us from a DNF!

Quick find while on a local hike -- thank you for the cache!

Day walk find. Thanks.

Well it's not a Pope but an impostor. TFTC tassieexpat

Quick easy find on a very hot day after the cito
Tftc tassieexpat With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja. 3 March 2019

A simple find as our hot day draws to a close

*Found with [Geooh Live](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohLive)*

Thanks for another find my wife’s enjoying the track in her wheelchair

15:11
Our time on the track was "critter free" - no mozzies, snakes or jumping jacks, the wind took care of that and blew everything away! We loved the variety of sizes and hides, along the track.

Thanks to 'tassieexpat' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

17-01-2019 - 11.32am -- Find No. 1007 - 5th find of 7 for the day for me - with dgfb33 (1 of 5) & Geogran1937 (2 of 6).
The day was cooler so we decided to heat towards Corinella to caches that were power-chair compatible for dgfb33. We had managed to get back together to find some caches none of us had found.
This one had be retrieving hand protection from my bag before I started delving into ouchy things. After a little search I noticed something that looked like what we needed. Found it I said & all turned back from their scatter searching.
Good co-ords (or similar bad co-ords) at each cache made finding easy & we only saw a couple of bike passing muggles while we were walking so had no worries about giving the game/hides away.
Cache was found, signed & returned as found. Thanks for the cache
Sorry for the late log.

With Geogran1937 and ceebee2013. TFTC.

We were looking for a place to enjoy a walk and a few caches today so decided to explore this track. We looked for ages for this one and the magpies enjoyed our struggle. We revisited gz on the return walk and spotted the cache straight away. Thanks for the challenging cache.

Found it. TFTC.

Quick find along this nice walk. Tftc

On a maintenance walk with frmen1.

Finally got some spare time to get on the bike and grab a couple of caches.
Thanks tassieexpat FTC. I liked the hint there's a few here but which one.
Finally it give up which one or is it witch one.

Had to do a McGiver to extract the log... TFTC tex

Found it! I thought I did not have a hope in the dark but I eventually came up with not the pope! Didn’t have to leave the path either although I did! TFTC SL

Last find in this series and found them all - tflc and the enjoyable day walking the trail

Found it. Took me a while to work out how to get to the log. TFTC

I enjoyed a quiet walk along here at sunset...and a few easy finds. TFTC

Love the title of this cache!
Located after a short search. All in great condition
Many thanx to tassieexpat

Tftc

Gave up on this one at first , but tried again on the way back from the end of the trail and there it was. The bottom of it is missing though.

This was one we were a bit hesitant on . We systematically started our search and soon has it. Log signed and back again as found.
Thanks

Caching day with dranyer
Take him to Phillip Island
Worth for him as he never been there before.
Found it.
Thanks tassieexpat

Phew got it with Crank1 TFTC

Took us a little while to find this but not too many people out on the path this morning.
Thanks Tassie for this series. Long time since we cached so this easy stroll on a perfect morning was just what the doctor ordered. All the caches we found were in good order and properly hidden.

Took a couple of minutes to find the cache and twice that again to remove the log, I think the pressure of the old dude chasing me wasn't helping. Signed and replaced and that was the last I saw of him.

Thanks

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

We drove our Motorhome down here yesterday to test some alterations to it and as we had our bikes with us thought we would ride this trail and find some Caches. Using a phone and not a GPS this was not going to be easy and it proved so. . Thanks tassieexpat.

Came to Coronet Bay/Corinella for caching day. Lovely weather to visit the towns and beaches. Beautiful view of the cliffs. Found it. Thanks tassieexpact for the cache.

It took me quite a while to find this today. As it was raining solidly by now I got thoroughly soaked while I searched every tussock and tree, before I read the hint, which meant I renewed my search of the former. Eventually, despite poor reception due to the clouds causing my discomfort. Then I couldn’t find the log and thought it was missing til I examined the cache carefully. Great hunt, just turn off the rain please while I’m caching! TFTC

I got drenched hunting for this cache! This meant the finding device had poor reception which might have extended the search but in the end it wasn’t too far off! Once I found the cache I then couldn’t find the log until I gave it a good examination and found it cleverly hidden out of first glance sight.. TFTC

Daddy found it.

Brilliant. Right there in front of our eyes. No locals spotted this time.
