Very clever

Well the rocks. It's obviously in those rocks. After a lot of searching with no geocache to show for it. We noticed the coordinates were a little "off" So we moved. And sure enough, no way it's not that.. wait. It is there. Awesome thanks for the hunt and cool camouflage. A favourite point and left a pathtag. *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Clever, very clever. Had me looking in all over in the wrong direction.

Saw this one had over 100 favourites, and read the logs which said it was a brilliant hide. And I can confirm it did NOT disappoint. Thats the best hide Ive come across. Loved it. TFTC!

Quick find. Weve done a lot of caches in swan hill area where there is caches like this everywhere. Loved it

This is one of the coolest caches ever. Thank you!

A quick stop on way to work to drop and retrieve a TB. Cache in excellent condition. Still one of my favourites.

That was a great hunt!! Alot of work put into this one

Found again showing the ropes to a new hunter!!Thanks again

Favourite point for sure. It took me a bit longer to find this than it probably should have. What a great hide. Awesome hides with varying degrees of difficulty by the CO is making caching around Horsham a very pleasant experience indeed. Well done Duntulum.

A nice arvo with Snips and Co, who made this find quite quickly. How great was that, gets a FP.

TFTC. Great hide. First fave point awarded

Duntulum I am so enjoying your caches. On our way out of town we stopped for this one. The car that was also stopped eventually left and we had room to explore. This took a bit of exploring and some feeling around when suddenly it was ours! Clever, thanks Duntulum

**Found en route to Adelaide from Melbourne.** Traveling back to Adelaide with GoodLook and The Dame we decided to stop and grab this cache after seeing the favourite points. It didn't disappoint A nice straight forward find but adding a favorite point for the effort and something different. The thing I love about caching is the interesting stories, the extra interest and attention you take when traveling, the sight-seeing, the history, the interests of the individual COs, *the fantastic photo opportunities* and sometimes finding places that even some locals dont know about. I, like most cachers, look for more than a mint tin or a container under a bush. I appreciate the time that most COs take to construct a cache and write up a comprehensive listing and to create an interesting cache. **I love traveling this big land of ours.** I love taking the roads less travelled. I love the diversity of the land, the different scenes in the different seasons, the fresh air, the open plains, the lofty vistas and the magnificent waters. I even enjoy the longer scenic walks although I'm not as young and as fit as I used to be. I love the different coffee shops I find. I enjoy the times I cache with others but I usually cache on my own.The weather was glorious, the vistas stunning, the coffee shops and bakeries wonderful and the company divine. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues. Thank you Duntulum for highlighting this area and for providing this game piece for our enjoyment. Appreciate your efforts. - P*Took*: Nothing*Left*: Fave Point**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! **#18995**

Looked aroubd for awhile to decide where to have better examination, I asked wazza9 tocheck that out, yes bingo that was it. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO A great hide.

TFTC,Heading home after a 9 week trip and finishing with some western Victoria LGA's we have not previously been to. Visited trackablesNana asked me to check something out and again she was correct.Worth her weight in gold.Added a favourite

Motorhoming around in winter and finding a cache here and there. Heading to Horsham we stopped to find this one with so many fav pts. It has us stumped for a whole then geohubby had an ah ha moment. Log signed. TFTC and a fav pt.

Love the concept, so very originalTFTC

We visit Swan Hill, Mildura, Renmark, Barossa Valley, Victor Harbour, Tailem Bend and the last night at Ballarat. Stopped for few caches on the way. We had a lot of fun travelling these roads and seeing the farms and wildlife along the way. We found a range of caches. Many thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

Found with O319 on our way east

Nice one. Found with SJG66. TFTC

What is the biological intrinsic value of gold? You cant eat it like grain. You cant drink it like water. Speaking of water. Plenty about today. Thanks Duntulum and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A gold cache indeed! And the troopers name keeps popping up. The area could do with a CITO. As for the cache...BRILLIANT! On a multi mission with weirdobiker after the Lameroo Ludicrous Leg Warmers events in SA and now heading back east via a through different LGA's. Its been great exploring the country out west with plenty of highlights to remember. TFTC and the lure.

After being in Lameroo for the annual JLWE event this year with an 80s theme, we are slowly making our way homeOut and about with Ronice88 today to pick up caches here, there and everywhere.Excellent cache which deserves a favourite point

Thanks

It was the final day of my slowly caching my way home to Adelaide from Bacchus Marsh; with the plan to find a few caches along the way before making the final stretch home. Having picked up a couple of caches on the way out of Horsham, the majority of my time was spent between the Dimboola area and Kaniva. With a decent number of caches put out in, and around, Dimboola since I was last in the area, it was nice to make a dent in finding them. When it got late in the day, and I had found all the caches that I was after, I put the GPS away and made my way home. Apologies for the generic log as I have plenty to write from my trip away.Find #9827, at 10:20 amTFTC

Heading to Murray Bridge (yes, more motorsport, back to The Bend again) and was running to a fairly tight schedule so could only hunt a few caches on the way and this one with lots of favourites looked positive. Parked right at the memorial, which is interesting in several ways, firstly a nicely built sign but the key thing to me was "who really cares that they came past here with lots of gold! Surely the scene of an attempted robbery would be more interesting!!!!!!" Anyway, got a cache to find so after a good look around followed the GPSr where the cache was in hand quickly, nicely done with the hide! Thanks to Duntulum for this one, have another fave!

Found with Olga at 10:38 am after a few days in MelbourneBrilliant hide

Tftc!

We would never have stopped here if it wasn't for this GC. And it was such a great camouflaged hide. TFTC!

As our convey of three vehicles headed across from SA through VIC & NSW, we are focusing on collecting some LGAs before heading to the ACT Mega. To save space on all log sheets, we signed as 5 for QLD.All caches we found were in good condition, and with the odd wet logbook being replaced with write in the rain paper.Thank you to all cache owners for placing these hides for the benefit of the geocaching community

We attended a Mega in Adelaide for Leap Year, and are now slowly making our way to Canberra for the Easter Mega. We called in here to find this cache as it ticks off another LGA for this state.We are using the Acronym 6 for QLD to sign the log sheets. Gold is also found on the ground, and sometime under.It was a pleasant drive through that countryside, and we were pleased to find all the caches on our list.So, log signed and cache replace as found on 16th March, 2024. TFTC, Duntulum.

Another beaut cache youve created here. Well dine. Fits in well with the place next door. So much litter here though. We picked up some (mainly fishing line which could entangle wildlife) but we couldnt get it all. Thank you for placing another creative cache for our (and others) enjoyment.

Adelaide Leap Day trip. Day 12.and Tasmania Trip Day 1. The next phase of my journey begins today as I head across towards Geelong to catch the ferry to Tasmania tomorrow night. Apart from one DNF from my last trip I did not stop till some of the new counties in Victoria. I had a big plan for the day but cut it short as the pub I selected to stay in was so relaxing, I could not get out again. I did not see any signs of the fires, so that was good, but it was a long drive and I left my lunch board at the first cache in Victoria. Oh well. A great night in the pub, doing logs in the front bar and a nice lamb cutlet dinner.When I arrived there were others having a rest in their car, so as it was lunch, I used the table to make lunch. When the others left, I went got the cache. A very impressive hide construct. I then left, and a day later, realised I left my board and knife on the table ! oh well.Thanks for the cache Duntulum45762.2 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & September 2023 The Jeweled Darner A#535**Albida**

FP for the cleverness here. Stopped to collect this smiley on our way to Mega. With Alansee.Thanks for the cache Duntulum

Found with Moonb1 A very clever hide. Well done. Thanks for the cache Duntulum .

#19194 - 9:57:52 AM; Day two of "The Great Leap Forward" road trip. A last minute change of plans due to my usual partner in crime becoming unavailable saw me heading off in the geomobile and not by air as previously arranged. After a night in Beaufort, I continued the journey west through Ararat, Great Western, Stawell, Dadswells Bridge, Horsham, Dimboola, Nhill and Kaniva, where I was joined by feathertop, before crossing the border into South Australia. It was then on to Bordertown, Keith and Murray Bridge, before returning to Tailem Bend and the accommodation followed an event to wrap up the daily mission. All caches were found in good condition and returned as found once the log was signed. Checked a couple of options before setting the geosenses free and locating the log. A fave for the effort! TFTC Duntulum

I loved this hide. The area could do with a cito. What's wrong with people - take you rubbish with you. Thanks for taking me to this cool spot.

Quickly found with Nibletricecakes on Day 5 of our Adelaide Leap Day Mega trip. Tricky camo. TFTC

Endelig har jeg og MrVon sr kommet oss ned til Australia og New Zealand, -en gammel drm er gtt i oppfyllelse. Team Eika og Ingsve har ogs reist i flge med oss p denne turen. Vi har reist p kryss og tvers i en mned, og mlet er ende opp i Adeleide og megaevent p skuddrsdagen. Vi har spesielt sett etter gamle cacher, for fylle jasmern, for et par stykker, og for oss to andre som har begynt tenke p gjennomgang to.De aller fleste dukket greit frem p plassene sine,noen ganger mtte vi lete litt, men var som regel heldige tilslutt. Noen DNFer ogs ble det ogs.????Vi har for det meste logget med fellesnicket N4 (ingsve,Von sr. TeamEika og Ellen Sch) men ogs egne nicknavn er brukt.En stor takk til alle dere COer for utlegg og vedlikehold av cachene deres.

Team Eika and Ingsve have also traveled with us on this trip.We have been traveling cross-country for a month, and the goal is to end up in Adeleide and mega-event on the leap year. We have especially looked for old caches, to fill jasmer'n, for a couple of pieces, and for the other two of us who have started to think about reviewing more.The vast majority of them showed up at their places, sometimes we had to search a bit, but we were usually lucky in the end. There were also some DNFs.????We have mostly logged in with the common nickname N4 (ingsve, Von sr. TeamEika and Ellen Sch), but our own nicknames are also used.A big thank you to all you CO's for laying out and maintaining your caches. Without their work, we would never have been able to make a living with this hobby.Always nice to have a new smiley face on the map.????Cache greetings from Ellen Sch, Norway????????????

TFTC! 26 February 2024 2:30:05pm 7340 thanks to Duntulum for the cache! No made a stop got lunch. Fanastic cache and camo!

Pulled into the layby but there was a car already there. Sat in the car and read the cache page and logs to get a sense of what we might be looking for - no hints but enough info to let us know it might be tricky. Once the school bus had dropped off the passenger for the other car and they all left, we started our hunt. Checked a few places that tricky caches have hidden in the past and then checked something else. Yes there it is, well hidden. tftc#7301

Found on the way home from a trip to Melbourne with Kyliesmiley. Ive learnt to try moving everything i see from past caches. This hide definately has given me ideas for a few of my own. TFTC

Found with jamesta18 today while driving back to Radelaide, after attending a concert in Melbourne.We decided to do some caches on the way home to break up the 8 hr drive Wow cool cache, Jamesta18 had the eyes for this one. We have seen one like this before, but it was a long time ago,Its definitely a good one,log was full, we added more paper TFTC

Thanks for the hide!!Clever location and great spot for a roadside stop.Cheers Sam, Otis, Bros, ethanol and Gray

I was bamboozled. Tftc

Awesome hide! TFTC!!

Ooh i do love a clever cache and this one certainly qualifies, a little ripper. I am on a quick circuit in the west of the state starting in Dimboola and ending somewhere near Ballarat depending how it goes. I have created a list of caches to target which means i will be driving past lots of others, i will have to come back this way again on a future hunt. Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! is find number 3,055 for me. A fun small traditional cache I enjoyed finding as part of my caching trip to Horsham Rural City. 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 Friday 10 Nov 2023 at 5:35 pm and the weather is Few Clouds 37C 11% 3 m/s .

Great but log shoddy and so much rubbish around. Regardless giving a fave point Thank you Duntuulum for breaking up my long journey from Leongatha to Swan Reach to do the OYB series.

I inproptu stop as i headed out of town. Sad to see so much rubbish dumped in the area. I soon spied the cache after a bit of investigation.

DNF

Give u an A+ for this one..love these type of hides

Nice hide. Was hoping to leave a TB here but a bit small for that. TFTC.

Bahaha not fooling me, got it in one! Interesting spot thank you

Glad we've seen similar to this in Mildura ... otherwise we think we may have been stumped. Definitely a for the effort and creativity. TFTC

Great story and a very clever hide gets a fave point from us. Found with 4maal at 11:20am.
thanks Duntulum

Found with Alsume at1120 on 25/6/23 great hide tftc

Stopped at Horsham for a break before heading to Adelaide to see my family for the weekend. I was looking around and suspected this item so found it. Awesome creative cache. Fav for me. Thanks Duntulum for bringing me here and the cache.

Not sure why I didn't log this when Papi4506 and I visited back before covid shut us all down. Pleased to visit again so that I can remember to attribute a favourite point. Thanks for this great cache.

Looked for another cache around here with lots of favourites. This was it……did what all good cachers do and surveyed the possibilities….. ruled out the first one then headed to 2,3and 4……. What?????
Better go…. Can’t find it…… said to my muggle buddy.. normally first gut instinct is right… should of listen to my gut would of saved heaps of time….. great cache… fav from me

Thanks for a well constructed cache. Luckily we have seen similar, so it was a quick find. We signed and replaced as found, all whilst avoiding the rain, but not the wind.

Very clever camo - love your work. Tftc

Love the camo on this one!

Very well done can see why it has so many fav's with riotgirlckb

Woo hoo that one got us third time lucky with a hint....

This just fit into the area so well a really fantastic hide. The area around it was a bit gross with rubbish and other human activity. The history here is interesting also. Tftc

What a fantastic cache! Thank you!

WOW! so well done. Definitely deserves a favourite point!

Gold Gold Gold, really had to think outside the box. TFTC

Great cache container but very disappointing how much litter and filth was nearby considering their are so many facilities along the route.

A fun hide with a bit of history for good measure. TFTC

Found on my way to SA. What a adventure! . Duntulum, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area. Clever cache. A fav from me.

Heading back to WA from the Rutherglen MEGA and a year long Aussie road trip. Picking up a few caches along the way.

We saw it. Dismissed it. Come back and looked and prodded. Success!

Very clever! Favourite point added

Duntulum, I found Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12266.

Today on my epic LGA trip through VIC and SA I covered just over 1000km and around 15 LGA’s. Quickly spotted and the log was signed. Not sure this one meets the guidelines but thanks for the find.

Thanks Duntulum for the cache.

Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

I’m glad I stopped here. I love a unique cache that makes you think outside of the box. And a bonus bit of history to boot.

On a new adventure to taste apples and perhaps see some devils .

What a ripper cache construction, a favourite from me.
Thanks for placing the cache Duntulum.

TFTC Duntulum for your cache Gold ! Gold ! Gold !. We are travelling from Ararat to Dimboola today. We targeted a few caches along the highway. Our motorhome with a car in tow is a big large to head far off the main route. U Turning is our greatest problem. Caches found in good order.
I am sure that we have stopped here previously, but never mind we found a cache here.

On a road trip with Michells&hound and allister w over to Ballarat to complete the Geo Tour as well as other highly favourited caches and odd ones we were going past. We had a great weekend with four seasons of weather over the three days and even managed to attend an event in Sebastopol before heading home. Saw lots of the countryside and very interesting places in and around Ballarat. [^]

The others had already found this one but they kindly stopped so I could make the find. I wasn't quite sure how to get the log, but eventually worked it out.

Thanks for the cache Duntulum a favourite for me.

Quick find when you know. SL TFTC and FP

Gold! Gold! Gold! We made the find and given the cache a fav point. Thanks for all the work you put into this one. A fun find. Tftc

On my way back to Adelaide from Melbourne and can only annoy the driver to stop at most favourited spots.
This is well deserved

With geodog Tonka on a perfect caching weather day
Driving to Melbourne from Port Lincoln to visit my son and had a few picked out on the way.
First instinct was correct and cache was in hand. Great to shake the legs too

Went out of my way to find this and wasn't disappointed. Great cache and interesting information on the nearby board!

Out on a Christmas break with sir_spectre, exploring southern Victoria grabbing lots of smilies, finding caches in LGA's and of course signing a few more challenges.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

stopped because of the amount of fav points. nice work on the cammo, fits in nicely. fav point Stopped to get a cache or five in a new LGA. quick find.
Left with Mogni the day before Christmas to go down to Mount Gambier for Christmas Day. Then on the 27th left for Victoria. Plan A was to go to the Ottway Rangers, complete the Geo tour in Ballarat and then head to Geelong and take the Queenscliff ferry over to Sorrento then grabbing new LGA's on route to almost the New South Wales/Victoria border and the old 2001 cache near there. Also attending a community day event, a CITO and a couple of other events as well. Then head in to the high country and come back to SA in 11 days. Things didn't go to plan. Turns out that one of my almost new tyres was defective ( side wall blown out ) and blew in the ottway ranges on a narrow road in the rainforest, Drove to Melton to stay overnight and get a new tyre there, tyre machine broken and the other 5 tyre companies not open so off to geelong for a new tyre ( and some caches on the way and in geelong ) . The event we where going to attend in geelong didn't turn out, he was late by ALOT to his own event.Then to ballarat to same day since we had a b&b booked for the next few nights. Planned on getting the ferry at 1200 and ended up on the 400 pm ferry but we did attend a event and CITO in geelong. Then we drive into the rear end of a thunder storm with forecast 20 mm dropping for the next few days. Cancel the high country and change targets to letterbox D/T for fizzy grid only using letterboxes and same wirh the multi fizzy grid plus fizzy grid only using victorian caches plus any challenge caches we where near. Plus getting a few more victorian 2001 caches. And finally any caches that had 40 more more favourite points. Only got soaked to the bone for a couple of days but the water on the tracks was noticeable. On the return home tried to get the rest of the missing LGA's around the Melbourne CBD i missed in the last mega. Still a fun trip was had if not the planned one.

Brilliant! Loved the hide, and loved being taken to an interesting location too. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

This cache turned out to be the best cache found all trip so far! Luckily I had The _Evil_Muggle with me to make the find and he spotted it immediately, but left to me it would have taken longer. Different life experiences, I guess. It’s now got70 favourite points! We’ll earned!
