The Goddess Lives Ascot, Victoria, Australia
By Saint.Anthony on 07-Nov-18. Waypoint GC802YQ

Easy find but with frogs here that means snakes TFTC

Quick find as it was on the ground in plain view. Placed it in a more discrete location nearby but unsure if in its original place. TFTC

A quick find once the sheep past. Tftc.

This was a quick find as it was lying out in the open on the ground when i arrived at gz. After signing the log i popped it back into a slightly more secure location but it may be worth a check the next time the co is passing. I needed to get out of the house and breathe some fresh air for a while so i headed off for an afternoon caching getaway. I didnt have a firm plan but started nearby in Harcourt and wandered my way towards Creswick. I enjoyed the countryside and had a great time finding caches as i went. The Goddess Lives is find number 3,511 for me. A fun small sized traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in City Of Ballarat. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. I am logging this one on Tuesday 2 July 2024 at 5:07 pm and the weather is Scattered Clouds 6C 71% 3 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy Saint.Anthony.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Even though this cache is barely six years old the scene no longer looks as *picturesque* as shown in the photo. Maybe the green lush grasses will reappear in late spring to restore the image.My mates missus decided to tackle this one on our behalf which I know she regretted given the ear bleeding screeches she emitted while retrieving and replacing the cache! For once I could stand back and let someone else endure the pain that sometimes goes hand-in-hand with caching!TFTC

A quick find by our caching mate, she spied it from the path so a nice quick find although a prickly one.TFTC TNLN

Out with caching buddies around the Creswick area heading towards Learmonth, the cache was spotted by Mrs Moose and she went in to get and instantly regretted it as the tree is very prickly, the cache was signed and put back in place but the tree left an impression on Mrs Moose and she left with a few curses

Following work, I headed over to meet up with TangentGoat to collect some caches for the winter solstice souviner. The rain had started but luckily the was minimal.When we arrived, the coordinates and hint lead us straight to the cache. A quick find here.Thanks for the cache.

After an adventurous drive down a 'road' we pulled up and quickly jumped out to grab this one. Quick find and we were back in the car and onto the next. Tftc

I was in the vicinity of this cache so thought I would have a look for it. Made a quick find at GZ!! TFTC!!

In the Ballarat area for the weekend, so a perfect opportunity to hit up the MSP series and other random caches along the way. Another case where my travelling companions had already found it, but were kind enough to stop, so I could add my name to the logbook. Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Saint.Anthony ~~

I headed up to Ballarat after work yesterday so I did not have to get up too early to attend the event and CITO at Miners Rest.I think that Im on first names basis with the guy from the motel because he greeted me when I walked in the door.So after the event and CITO it was time to pick up a few caches in the area before having to head on back home.Headed North to find a few off of them that were off the main roads.Made my way to Scott Road and I over shot this one when I got to GZ.Made my way back and had to be very careful making my way into here as there was a lot of of ground water lying around guarding the area.Thanks Saint.Anthony TFTC.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.Thanks for the hide here.

Found with my family today.Thanks for the hide here.

We were on the way back from the Talbot Market so stopped here for a quick find.Thanks for placing the cache

Find 295 on 20 January 2024Found with dad after going to an event.aTFTC Saint.Anthony

Find 4579 on January 20, 2024Found on a geocaching day with LittleFergzter. All is well with the cache.TFTC Saint.Anthony

No where near as much water today (even in the rain) as my last visit so I could get to GZ without issue. Once there the cache was soon spotted and the (new) log signed. Cache replaced and then it was back through the grass to the car and off home.Thanks St.A...always good to find a previous DNF.

Did not find or did not attempt. Either or. Very wet underfoot and I made way to GZ only find I still had about 6 metres, however the water turned me away. Not usurpingly, I couldn't see anything from where I was, so will need to come back in the drier months.

Thanks anyway St.A I'm sure the Goddess still lives.

**Found whist in Creswick house sitting**

Chasing a few caches for the 'Reach the Peak' souvenir. Ironically, this month is Everest. I climbed to Everest base camp *many many* years ago on my first ever overseas holiday - 7 weeks and **best holiday** I've ever had

A fantastic day to be out in the fresh air and sunshine. Lovin' life, coffees and caches, waymarks and photos, taking the roads (and tracks) less traveled. Does it get any better than traveling this great land of ours?
A nice straight forward find here. Left my mark on the log and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony. Appreciate your efforts.

**Warning**, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to learning new things and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

Cache on!

Never knew that about willow trees. The cache was found fairly quickly. Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Thanks for bringing me here. Beautiful spot!

A lovely spot to pause,
and take in the scenery
OK !! 'Nuff of that !! [:o]
"Where's the cache ??"

There's one

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and SciFiRulz on a beautiful evening. Spent some time in the bush later and really enjoyed ourselves. TFTC StA.

Found this one with SciFiRulz and MazzyMay as team nicnax TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and MazzyMay. This was a nice easy find. On the way out we continued around the block as it were and found the 'dry weather road'. We saw several large hares as we were making our way back to the better road. TFTC

In the area after a FTF adventure, so took the opportunity to grab a couple of nearby caches and help out with the Museum Souvenir hunt TFTC Saint.Anthony

A late decision to go to Ballarat today to attend two Events and to grab the four remaining jewels required for the current souvenir hunt.
After attending two Events in Ballarat, one social and the other a Tree planting CITO it was time to do a little hunting.
I had my very good friend Faye (au.fait) for company who is an excellent navigator and a good hunter so I had the best of both worlds.
The day started with frost everywhere and the White Beast telling me to be careful of the roads due to ice as the outside temperature was only two degrees.
The weather is starting to cool down so a quick find was required and that is what happened.
Thanks to Saint Anthony for placing this cache.

Travelling in the food company of Bushfire we headed more northerly for a full day of caching and an ambitiously long list of caches to try and find. For some unknown reason we missed following our list so things became less organised and involved more driving than necessary but lots of fun and caches It seems we are now in Saint Anthony territory as we are now also in the latter part of the day. Driving into the blinding sun to get here but luckily not cache blind TFTC Saint Anthony

found on 23/6/19

Suscoe was wandering the country side today in the company of the sister.
It was a delightful day with relatively clear skies and bright Winter's sunshine.
We were working our way around the Creswick area taking in some interesting sights and some great caching locations.

Thanks to Saint.Anthony for this placement, certainly was a little damp underfoot from the rain of a few days ago along with the gully location and the cows who had tramped across here very recently judging by the fresh cow pats.
All good with the cache.

Sitting around home thinking what I could do so I opened up my app and found a cache to go and get and this was the one. So jumped in Ms jiwilly's geo wagon and off I went. I pulled up and coords were right on so had the cache in hand right away. Awesome little spot thank you. CIGC TFTC SL

We liked this cache very much thanks for the cache

Found! We could see this one from the road. Replaced and hidden a bit better. Found with the geo kids. TFTC

Good co-ordinates and clue meant for a quick find here. Interesting reading on the cache page. The goddess lives in those beautiful trees?
TFTC Saint.Anthony

Out caching with thomo31, found. TFTC

Found with teamashy on our way home from Ballarat. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Caching in the Ballarat area for the afternoon. TFTC

Quick find today as I headed the back way for a cache maintenance run. This is my closest unfound cache (as the crow flies) so nice to tick it off my list. An easy find. Many thanks for the cache.

Excellent co ords led to a quick find with McLookers this morning. Nice area, thanks S.A.

In this area with Motndarg this morning after and early event, we found this cache nestled in. Thanks Saint.Anthony, it is a pretty spot.

TFTC. We have had this on the solved stack for quite a few weeks. We had some business in Ballarat this morning so we detoured along here to attempt the caches on this side of Gillies Road. All 4 finds in this area were quick and did not pose any issues.

TFTC. Signed and returned.
Out with my daughter gathering a few smilies.

Found by Mary and David at 1155. We passed many willows near here, but none as large, as old, or as magnificent as these. We particularly liked the cache notes, so a FP. A willow is often associated with death, mourning and sadness owing to its weeping growth, and can be seen on many cemetery headstone carvings too. Our thanks to Saint.Anthony.

The first day of a new caching year!
After the Hello 2019 Event, along with Alansee, we set a route homeward which would take us past a number of jointly unfound caches.
The cache was cradled but uncovered - guess that is because it was such a warm day!

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

Found in the company of Phetlern. An easy find.

Almost a drive by but not quite. This was a nice easy one after the last one that we did. Out and about caching with joojoo57

Having a caching afternoon with Benjay21 in the countryside just north of Ballarat. Thank you to all the COs for the time and effort you have given to placing the caches we found today.

Found it TFTC

A quick and easy drive by to start the day.
TFTC

A short drive on from the last cache and in amongst the majestic willows.
Waving today in the breeze and the cache was soon spotted.
TFTC!

Well its time for another drive out to Creswick and the outlining area once again to visit all the new caches that have popped up in our absence. In the company of wozzle68 we had fun picking up presolved puzzles, attacking a couple of multis and not to mention all the trads.
Spotted where the Goddess lives easily and added our team name to the log book.
Thanks Saint.Anthony for the great effort put into your caches highlighting this area.

Find #1924 for me. Found with jtnsilo at 11:40 am while on our way to Ballarat from Bendigo. This was a quick find for us today as the cache was in the open. All was good at GZ with the cache and contents dry, but we gave it some extra cover before leaving. Thanks for bringing us back to this road Saint.Anthony (becoming quite familiar to me now!) and thanks for the cache!

Quick run out here this morning to find this one. Tftc

In a quick solo cache run I soon had this one in hand in no time. Tftc

Still in great nick

After detouring for a nearby FTF, we wound our way back to Ballarat via a couple more caches, and this was one of them. Quickly spotted and signed. TFTC Saint.Anthony.

Unthink I missed this one on an early search and didn't pick it up on an earlier run through the area so I stopped by on the way out to some other caches. A quick find.The godess must have been in agood mode today. TFTC.

Found on an adventurous day of caching.
Out with a fun group of cachers.
Logbook signed GAMBS. Tftc

Day 2 of our epic 12 day / 10 night trek to the Parkville Mega in Melbourne.
The constant was my travel companions for the entire trip, - Anymules and S.A. Sewer Rats but we were joined by almost local cacher Bushfire for a lot of the escapades So to save space in the logs we usually just wrote our initials BABS to save space. As we met and cached with other teams along the way more and more initials were added.
Today we had the pleasure of the company of Muff1, Goodlook, Wozzle68 and later Bushfire and Suscoe. So today we became GWAMBS. [:o)]

After a morning paddle it was time to say goodbye to bushfire and Suscoe and head up into the forest and grab the Christmas down under series, and head for the challenge cache series. [:X] That done and it was now time to cache our way back to our digs. [8)] Will we ever make it back to our digs for a rest. Yet another stop 'on the way'.


**Thanks Saint.Anthony for this cache. **

Wednesday 14 November 2018

Found with geofriends in a lovely location.

On my way from Adelaide to the Parkville mega, with buddies. Whilst in and around Ballarat we have generally been signing the logs "GAMBS" or "GWAMBS", or using our individual stamps, or writing our full caching names (depending on log size/ time at GZ etc).

GAMBS stands for: GoodLook, AnyMules, Muff 1, Brisal5 and SA Sewer Rats....GWAMBS includes Wozzle68 who joined us on our caching escapades - it is always awesome to travel with our very own PAF

What an awesome few days we've had so far!!!

Thanks so much for the cache %OwnerName! [^]

We made short work of this one on a fun day of caching in the Creswick area, thanks for the hide.

After being in Clunes with work, a slight detour on the way home was made to see if this smile could be found, the area was quite and peaceful, no one around, quick find, log was soon in hand signed and replaced as found, thanks for the cache and the fun

Today we are the M in team GAMBS, what a day, we all had caches that we have on our 'to do' list plus any that we past close by. WOW we did not know that willow trees were so beneficial. SL TFTC

Found during part of today’s geocaching adventures with the group. Log signed as GAMBS.

Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony.

Find #7476

As we had been staying not far from this cache, we decided to go out and try for a (FTF) this morning. Yay! Woohoo! GZ was isolated and the cache container was quickly spotted. A lovely unsigned page greeted us when the logbook was opened. So we soon changed that, of course.
We were happy to find this cache as we are on a streak of (FTF) caches and this one enables the streak to continue. It now stands at 35 months.
Many thanks go to Saint.Anthony for this cache placement. A favourite point has been awarded as we like to do for our FTF caches.

Out on our regular Saturday morning garage-sale run and we were on our way to our last stopover for the morning. As Mrs Perpetuallylost was driving I opened up the map to see if there were any unfound caches out this side of town I might have missed. That's when I remembered this new cache being published yesterday. I convinced my better half to go out for a drive to get this one as at 10.30am there were still no logs for it so I was hoping for a chance FTF.
After our 3rd choice of road to get here as we were in the wife's good car, we were finally at GZ and the search was on. She spotted the container first and our excitement soon disappeared as the first log was already recorded.
Still a 2TF is nothing to sneeze at as it has been a quiet couple of weeks for me since attending the St Arnaud weekend so I was just glad to be out finding another cache.
Thx St.Anthony for placing caches out here, when your name is the CO you just never know what we might be finding. Cheers
