Went to do a cache check, but it seems to have gone - at least it wasn't where Juzmac found it. The original hiding tree had been removed a while back, so we won't persevere.

on our 3rd try,we found it,with wife Tena and new little girl Trinity,10 days old,was an easy find this time,thanx a lot...Steve Tena and Trinity

....MCCA.....

WooHoo I found a Jeep TB here, I never had one of these b4.
GPS wanted me to jump the fence , I never and I found cache within 30 secs
Took Red car and Yellow TB and Left Red ferrari and Kangaroo. also an extra pencil.

Found at 1:16pm Accompanied by GeoDano.
When we got to GZ there was a car almost parked on top of the cache it was that close, as we were searching for the cache a couple of local boys yabieing came running over thinking we were doing something to theis car, after explaining what we were doing they were quite relieved and even ofered to move their car so we could continue with our search.
In:-Car, Out:-Lion, Signed Log, Dropped off Jeep 4x4 TB
Thanks Maccamob...

By DJ Chambo.
Find number 3 and sixth atempted for day. In town on business and travelling alone.
Reasonably easy find. But, alas no new cars about.

Found at approx 0910 today and what turned out to be a lovely day out caching!!! Weather forecast was supposed to be cold & miserable...
TNLN - and didn't see any new cars either...

Ninth of fourteen cache finds to the west of Melbourne, in company with acts2youthgroup. We pulled up adjacent to GZ, and started looking. Initially, we found nothing, and I was suspicious about the large mound of sawdust nearby--it looked like a tree had been removed and the stump grubbed out. While I was wondering whether the cache had been in the tree, Acts2 came up with the cache at 1150. We could hear some car being put through its paces in the distance, but we saw nothing of it. Thanks to maccamob for the cache.

IN: Lion
OUT: Toy car

Twelve of twenty three cache finds for the day, in company with Dak Emu.
We were looking for something a little harder, Dak even turned over a rock that revealed several nasty looking insects. We looked at the previous logs who all said easy. Well a little walk to the right and the cache was found, just sitting in plain view, no rocks or stumps. We heard a car being driven flat out around the track. Thanks Maccamob.

A nice easy find on our way to Sovereign Hill. The RugRat had a friend with him who thoroughly enjoyed his first caching find.

Took hippo and emery board and left 2 new cars!

Picked New Car Cache as our first , we wanted something reasonably easy and not too far, navigator wanted to be home in time to watch the football [xx(]!
Cache is jammed packed full.
Removed: magnet
Left: toy car

On the way home we could not resist any caches that presented themselves along the way. We had only coordinates and no paper work, and it was dark.
Thank goodness for regular caches [^].
After searching for 3 minutes it was Mr.Coffee who rose up to the occasion
TNLN, Thanks Maccamob this was a tad bit easier than the last cache we did.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Macca'd out Clan.

Visiting the area during the Avalon Airshow, and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get in a little interstate caching . There was a new car zooming around the track and I felt decidedly conspiratorial lurking about with a camera. I was more than just a little relieved to have logged the cache and not have any of the cars that zoomed by, come to a sudden, screeching halt and bundle me up as an industrial spy [B)] . Took a small cake of soap and left a Hippo. Thanks Maccamob

Just a note as we've already logged this one.

We drove past this one with the geo-grandkids on a treasure hunt outing. The grandies had a little trouble finding this one 'cause they're not tall enough.

Sorry, can't remember the swaps.

Fourth find this arvo. Definately getting the hang of this now. Went out with geojack (You know--my mate with the dodgy GPS now working fine thanks to 2+4,) and 2 relatives --ie son and daughter in law. This one was easy. Took a Lizard and left purple nail file.

Found at 14.05. Nice peaceful spot. TNLN, thanks maccamob

Found at 12:30pm. The first of eleven finds on our tour of Lara and Geelong. An easy drive by cache as per the description but we will still need to ponder the cache name as it wasn't too obvious from the location.

Thanks Maccamob from D,H,K,H & A B-A. Took a toy soldier. Left a gold soldier.

Located this one, courtesy of EuDes and the GeoCamira.
Took: Sticky lizard (inadvertently - didn't realise that EuDes had placed in in the cache approximately 4 seconds beforehand!)
Left: Smiley-face balloon.

Interesting spot, maccamob - thanks.

Nice easy find, right near the road. Did this while waiting for Alsure to locate the nearby 'Congratulations'.
Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing (Couldn't quite jam a "STABILO" Hi-lighter in there).

Found this one quite quickly at 10:50 with SSMC4 on the way to AWG walk 35. What a great hide but alas, no new cars to be seen today. Just as well, it probably would have made the GeoCamira feel sick anyway I guess .

Took a frog, left a sticky gecko. Thanks maccamob.

Found with Stan & Steph on the way home from bushwalking in Anakie Gorge. A quick find after a couple of minutes at GZ. A real drive-by cache!

Took donkey
left dinosaur

Thanks maccamob

Found by 4 Men and a Lady at 1415 on 21 November 2004

With the proximity to the Ford testing ground you could almost smell the fuel, at least the Orange Beast (GT) did.

I thought I would lose her as she felt so close to home.

Good hide but relatively easy find for this "drive by"

Took Chinese Coin
Left the Burnt Orange Beads (colour matching the JaffaGT to at least commemorate how close we were to all that Grunt)

Many Thanks to Maccamob

Found with Suitman - See below

Located @ 18:36 with Private Ryan
Our 2nd for today between "Highway to ...?" and "Congratulations!".
Great spot for a bit of "drive-by caching"! very popular with the mozzies ...

Easy find, quick cache - Thanks again maccamob!

Took: Squidgy Face
Left: Chinese Good-Luck Coin

Lotsa new cars zipping around the constant speed track nearby. Pity they are all Fords!!

Very nice location.
Had to rush as the council worker was grading the side of the road just up from us and heading our way.

Number 3 for us for the day!!

All good!!

Took: NIL
Left: NIL

All the best

On the way to The You Yangs Library and noticed I was going passed another cache, mmmm havent done this one. Quick stop and looking, looking, that doesnt look right, aaahhh there it is. Cool.

Thanks

Took - Coin
Left - Squidgy Face

The heavens again open up on us as we approached out 4th cache for the day.
G & J decided to stay in the car while P was forced out into the rain to search for the cache.
Pity father doesn't have the same brains as the children!
Some searching finally revealed the cache and a quick dash back to the car allowed us to explore the contents and make a log in the book.
We swapped a Hair Clip and a Thermometer for a Donkey and a Frog.

Found this one with Vombatus, on our way home from the Geelong Cacheopoply. There was a car broken down about 60m from GZ but it was not the ladies from the other log, must be a bad spot for older cars. #2 found this one before we had even got out of the car. She even brought it back to the car so we didn't have to move, easiest cache ever.
Took Terridactal (big old bird)
Left Key ring thermometer
Thanks maccamob

Found on our way back from Cache-opoly with Team Crackers.

Hit and run. Took the fish and left a 1914 penny.

Found it with ease. There wasn't any new car activity, but we did help out a couple of ladies who had broken down. They almost caught us retrieving the cache.

Regards

Penny & Ian

Found it at 14:55. We were staying with friends in Lara and after a trip into Geelong we headed back down this way for a few caches. This was the first of four for the day.
A nice easy find although getting here had a few dramas. Whilst driving along a wind storm picked up a Corrigated Iron Water tank, (that was empty) and sitting in a paddock. Blew it straight accross the road narrowly missing all the traffic up ahead and finally coming to rest in someones yard. (Much to the horror of the horses in the adjoining paddock who bolted). Some times it pays to get stuck at a red light.
Any way, we quickly did the swaps and we were on our way.
Took: Keyring
Left: Green car (it seemed appropriate)

Thanks Maccamob...

Found this one at 3:00pm, after spending a little time at the You Yangs (and finding the 'Library Stash' GC4CD3).

Yet another quick find by Mrs Drewscoot (Allison) - It's getting to become a habbit that she spots the spot before I can even confirm the position - Oh well, I guess that's why I bring her with me!

No sounds of cars other than the traffic on the road, which was heavier than I would have expected for such a relatively remote location, but plenty of noise from the Cicadas (excuse the spelling) - OR - maybe that's Ford's new engine they were testing

Took little plastic shell and left small magnifier.

Cheers all,
Drewscoot & Mrs.

Realised I forgot to log this after comparing notes with Spindoc Bob. Better late than never.

This wasn't on the list of our planned caches during the 'Dragon's Pearl and Spindoc Bob Melton-Werribee cache raid'. As we were returning home it was obvious this was VERY close by. We hadn't studied or seen the cache on the website, but decided to took the gamble. Dragon's Pearl spotted the hiding place - she's thinking like a cacher now. TNLN. A successful 6/7 cache raid in three hours.

Ruff3216 and I found this one at 700pm could hear a new car screaming around we took a fish magnet and left a tazo spinner
thanks go to maccamob

Maintenance visit today. All ok.

Found by Supertiger61 and Geko

First cache found by me and geko (my
new gps). Thanks for a good cache. Swapped a
magnet for the kangaroo pin.

Thanx
Supertiger61 & Geko

thought i would have a drive and do a few i passed while placing pocket puzler, it wasnt a good day as every man and his dog was in the area, i had several trys before grabing it. will go and do others when theres no cycle races and monday drivers, no exchange thanks maccamob

Found at 1050, a nice easy one. Swapped a goodluck charm magnet for a plastic bear. Thanks for the easy find maccamob.

Found at 10:50, with Muzza and Kiwideb. This is an excellent one where we only needed to cross the road and lay our hands on the cache, although Kiwideb beat me to it. Thanks maccamob. Swapped a Japanese fortune cat fridge magnet for a kangaroo pin.

Been a long time between now and finding my first and only cache so thought I would get out on such a nice morning. Found within a couple of minutes of driving up. Nothing exchanged.

We were looking for a place to hide our new cache and stubbled upon this one. +four weren't with us as we were on our anniversary date.

We swapped the compass for some ear defenders.

Thanks Maccamob

Found by both of us (The Nomads) at 8:05 PM on the 11th January 2003. Its location was more than obvious and we raced each other to the Finish Line for a dead heat.
We took the Rubber Ball and left some hair clips. Thanks Maccamob.

Found 17:10, our third Maccamob cache for the day, one might say we had a Mc Feist of caching [:o)] We were almost able to get this one with out leaving the air conditioned comfort of the Biggles Mobile.

Took Elephant stamp and left flying dinosaur figurine. Thanks Maccamob for a grand afternoon out.

Found at 1725 - had to avoid being spotted by vehicles passing by, more often than we expected for being way out in the boonies. Took christmas santa ornaments, and left a compass keyring and a bear keyring. Thanks Maccamob!

Sneaky position but good spot

Took spinning top and left yellow duck

Found easily good drive by cache - thanks maccamob. Took keyring and left spinning top.

Found without any trouble but no car noises from the other side of the fence today. Nothing exchanged. Greg and Bev

This was Adagoesforth's first find (not neccesarily the first attempt at geocaching).We enjoyed the drive and the subsequent search for the cache.
We took a fishy fridge magnet and replaced it with a bouncy ball.
Thanx for our first cache.

Tanya and Michael (Adagoesforth)

[last edit: 11/4/2002 7:46:18 PM PST]

The second last for the day. Not too hard to find. The nearby testing track is quite large and I'm sure a mate of mine will agree as he is the one who built that fence that keeps us out. No exchange. I think I'll have to but a selection of small goodies to fit in the smaller caches. Thanks maccamob

Found by Kevin & Meredith at 4.10pm
An easy find on a warm and windy day
Took Soccer ball, left Elephant stamp
Thanks Maccamob
K&M

A brand new cache - what a good way to start a beautiful day of caching! Soon found myself at the correct location, and grabbed the container. Nice decorating Maccadad! Took a christmas ornament and left a mini soccer ball.

This was my 11th and final cache for the day. As I was running a little bit late, I wanted something nice, quick and easy to find. And thats exactly what this cache was. I spotted it from a mile away travelling at a million miles an hour in my car. (If you didn't realise it, that was a very slight exaggeration).

It was rather obvious, even from a distance, but I was all cached out and very happy for it to just about fall into my lap. I logged my visit, (no swap made), jumped back into my cachemobile, and headed off into the sunset, ready to cache another day. Even as I write this, I discover that Maccamob have laid another two caches today.

My especial thanks to the Maccamob and JoMac family for a fantastic days caching, 5 by JoMac and 6 by Maccamob.
