Checked the spot this morning, and it has definitely gone. The cache may reapear at some future time, but not right here.

Cache appears to have been muggled.

First brief stop in Australia for the TBs and coins that travelled back from Seattle with us. They'll be coming westward with us next.

RedPaw64 found this cache at 11.40am. No 6 of 13 for the day. Very enjoyable cache.

A great spot for Highrod to run Geojess and a perfect disguise to find cache while playing.
Mind you I appeared slightly suss squatting under a tree jotting down a log entry, Well it is called Water the Garden.
thanks, sandar10

Thanks very much.

GAFF1. Found @ 12.00 p.m. today by Mr Emu & Son. No. 7 of 15 on our Big Day Out In Werribee.

An interesting area we had never been to, we found this cache while completing Domino Chase by Wheelchair Access. New territory for us, so thanks very much maccamob for showing us a lovely part of Werribee.

Took: Frog; Left: Fish & Dog stickers

I am new to geocaching and choose this as my first cache to find as i know the park, used to play around there as kids.

I had to wait a minute to let a couple of joggers past then searched and found it.

Hopefully this will be the first of many

TNLN

A beautful picnic spot indeed. The cache was quite exposed when found, but tucked away again now. No swaps were made.

Thanks,

R - B

Found by Pickupfamily Dad 2005hrs, on a detour from chasing Domino FTFs. The local kids were playing in the river nearby this balmy evening, but far enough away to be able to locate the cache easily. TNLN, TFTC.

Rated: for Overall Experience

We had quite an adventure looking for this cache. We began with one kiddy (D) in a pram and one (A) in a backpack carrier. The first river crossing was done with D in the pram, the crossing on the way back was done at a different location which meant D was carried and the pram folded up. We enjoyed the walk and D enjoyed helping find the hiding spot, A just enjoyed the view from Daddy's back. D selected the tape (who knows why a 2 y/o needs electrical tape... maybe it was the bright yellow colour) and added a toy hermit crab to the collection.

Nice and cool in the shade of that tree. Even better in the waterhole on such a hot day.

Obvious cache location. No dogs here this rainy day.

With chefs and farmers in sprint mode ,we arrived at GZ and quickly found the cache location.Certainly a nice park withgreat river views.TNLN and thanks to maccamob for the river cache.

Thanks Maccamob for the cache

Nice easy find to mark the halfway point of the day. TNLN thanks maccamob

Found at 3pm. Was working in the area, thought I'd detour for the quick easy find. TNLN SL. Thankyou

Out with Brothersinfluence and Chewinprickles who are my big brother and sister!

This is our family celebrating Chewinprickles 50th birthday. Off to find a cache. Found it. Took nothing left nothing.I never knew the Chaffy bros started in werribee, imagined they would have come straight from California to Mildura. Thanks for nice afternoon.

Found quite easily after a short stroll in a nice area. Popular spot - few muggles about so had to time it right.

Very nice stroll to GZ and quicky found. Got muggled by dog as owners chatted (or is that doggled ?).

Took Teapot Stamp
Left A "Keeper of Time" + Smiles

A pleasant stroll along the path by the river, we came the long way around on a beautiful autumns day. Lots of muggles around so we were in and out as discreetly as possible.

Second for the day. Had a lovely stroll along the river, lots of people were out on bikes and with dogs today. Quick to find once at GZ. TNLN. Thanks!

Found @ 1.10pm, using a GPS unit that I thought was faulty, I decided to try one more cache before going home all dejected.
My unit led me to within 1 meter of GZ!!! I found the cache without much ado, and had to stay at GZ hidden whilst several muggles abled by.
Took nothing
Left a Fozzy card.

Cache twenty of thirty for the day. The cache was found at 17:25 on my western assault day. A nice stroll that was interrupted, by the roar of a motorbike doing a mono across the grassed area. A nice quick find thanks Maccamob.

Found the cache, though there were quite a few muggles nearby constructing a big rock bank??

An easy find in the end, thanks.

Cache checked today - all ok.

I've done a few of the Cache along the Werribee river and it never fails to amaze me with it's beauty, this is a lovely spot that I never would have found without Geocaching, it does make you want to buy a Kayak and head off on an adventure.

Got to the location and belive we found the right tree to look under, though too late in the day, and even 'daylight savings' couldn't rescue us, this time around... As Maccarthur said... "I shall return..."

Hiya, I was the friend with Thyla and Thylo. Thanks for this cache. I'd been driving past this park for a coupla months on the way home from work.

Got to finally see what was in the park thanks to this cache.

As you can see I've also started Geo Caching myself. [^]

Another easy find, in a fantastic spot. We had planned on only doing the cache, but sat to make plans to have a BBQ with a group of friends in a few weeks in this lovely spot.
Thanks again for revealing another wonderful location.
Took; smiley face
Left; water pistol and pen.
Thanks Thyla, Thylo and friend.

A lovely walk and quick find for the kids! Thank you. Swapped some stickers for a toy.

4:12pm Accompanied by geodano,nice walk easy find.
Nice birdlife along the river.

(only 1 page left in the log book)
Thanks maccamob.

Found it at 4:12pm with Oenze.
Took plane and left yellow dinosaur.
Signed Log....Thanks Maccamob![:p]

Found at 1:30pm after a short walk to GZ. Explored the nearby area after making our log. Interesting to see this historic area related to Werribee's market gardens.
took Harry Potter card
left small World Globe and stickers
thanks maccamob for showing us another historic location

Called in today to check the cache, and removed the old catalogues. Thanks to Mr Coffee for the warning.

8.30am
Found by Roma and Max.
Near to a popular walking track, particularly busy this morning.
Took: Pink Ball.
Left: Smiley Face.
Thanks maccamob.
from Romax.

There may have been a river and a wonderful park at this location, but in darkness with only a small torch all I was interested in was flat ground and a cache.
We were not disappointed with both requests and not only found the cache but found a pile of dumped catalogues around the cache.
Many thanks Maccamob for the cache, we will have to return again to see what we missed.
TN (very old catalogues, and no garbage bags) – LN (tried to stuff Luke into the cache container, but no room for air)
Regards Mr.Coffee and the “was that you tapping me on the shoulder in the dark†Clan.

Seeing all the peppercorn trees along the river, I knew it was only a matter of which one. Hard to resist those trees.
I had lunch in the park along side the river, nice end to a days' caching.
Took: Lizard, Left: Airplane.
Thanks for another, Robmc.

Found on 9/4/2005 at 16:15

Found with Mrs U.J. who saw the cache before I did, have to leave her at home next time. A nice day was had in a nice little park area.

TNLN

This was an easy find as there was only one tree at GZ, and it provided great cover for a surreptitious search. Decided to move away to a nearby gate to fill in the log when my problem started. Two muggles that I had passed on the way here were now moving slowly towards the exit gate I was sitting on. And I do mean slowly. I thought I’d have to celebrate my next birthday here at the rate they were moving. I know I had my head down writing for a long time waiting for them to pass. Eventually they did and I was able to return the cache to its possie. Thanks again Maccamob. TNLN

Found this one with no troubles at all!!! Nice location... Had a bit of a relax while we were there.

Took matchbox car, left sprinkler head.

Great cache!!!

Third cache for the day, and the dogs were tired. Found it with no dramas, so had a brief sit down and a relax before continuing.

First find of the day for me, a nice simple cache to make sure my caching eye was in after a week of training....

Found without drama.

Took:Torch
Left Eraser and Suction Cup Cow

Found at 2:43pm

A nice stroll on an improving day. We were worried that the storms may have taken it but found fairly easily.

Took Nothing
Left Toy Gorilla

Thanks Maccamob

** Rhinogeo and Facitman - The 40th Forage **

Found on 08/02/05 @ 1443 AEDST. 23rd of 44 for the day with Facitman. When I read this one was near the river I was worried that it might have been washed away, but it hadn't . A nice walk to GZ along the river bank

IN: Emergency Whistle & 40th Forage card

Cheers Maccamob

** Rhinogeo & Facitman - The 40th Forage **

Geojack is hooked. I'm at home trying to get some work done and in comes the phonecall, "lets go out and find another one", so how can I refuse. We tried one in your closet first but blowed if I can find that one. This one though, no problem, raced it in. TNLN. Just wrote something in the book.

Found this one easily, our first for the year.

Thear were a couple of muggles around but we avoided them easily enough. (We thought the kid with the punctured bike tyre was never going to leave.)

Found at 1640. A nice little shady refuge here. TNLN. Thanks again maccamob.

We arrived with my mother and mother in law at Hoppers Crossing at 8.00pm and then decided to kill some time while the sun went down so that we could get the best out of the Wyndham Lights cache. So what else to do but look for some of these caches that I have been seeing on my screen for nearly a year. Got to GZ at 8.10pm after a lovely short walk which took us past the irregation gate. Lots of people walking dogs, but no-one around when we picked up the cache. Took: Screwdriver (which came in handy for the next cache), Left: Small torch
Thanks maccamob

Last one of six for the day and it was getting late, so we parked the car and went for a short run to this one. Found quite easily in a pretty obvious spot, if you were looking for it.
Took: Plastic beads
Left: 'STABILO' Hi-lighter

Found at 12:30pm. Rabbitto's Run 2004. The 12th of 33 finds for the day on our attempt to log the most caches in Australia in one day. Time elapsed since start - 4 Hours 30 Mins.

An easy find and one close to our hearts as the Chaffey Brothers also set up the Irrigation Settlement at Renmark.

TNLN. Thanks Maccamob from D,S & H B-A.

Just on dusk it was vey pleasant walking in this park, a few families were heading home and the dog walkers were plentiful. Waited until the coast was clear and then retrieved the cache
TNLN
Thanks Maccamob for the last of your caches that we found this afternoon

Found at 1305, in company with barcoder. Once again, there was only one 'object' at GZ, so it was only a matter of finding where on the object the cache was hidden. The cache location was reminiscent of a cache we had found earlier in the day. Our last maccamob cache for the day. Thanks for showing around your stamping ground.

IN: Packet of Beadz
OUT: Spring cramp

Our last maccamob cache for the day, and it was an easy find. We sat on the stone wall while we did the swap. A couple of 'muggles' were nearby but were 'none the wiser' I am behind the [8] as far as the score is concerned, but we have a couple to go yet.
I am hopeful. Thanks for the day maccamob.

IN: Foam stamp & toy car
OUT: Blue dinosaur & dolphin

I saw a couple of blokes fishing here. Not sure what they were catching in the Werribee. One thing for sure is that they won’t need multi vitamins for a few years if they eat the fish!

I left a screw driver and took the candles. Thanks Maccas.

Our third cache of the afternoon and just as well as the clouds are really getting dark.
On a wet Wednesday afternoon we strolled down to the cache, the GPS putting an obvious GZ right in the way and spent a few minutes locating the cache.
We took a Clip on Kangaroo (for G) and a Seahorse (for J).
We left a Whale and a Blue Dinosaur.
Thanks for a peaceful stroll on an otherwise ready arvo.

Lovely spot and it even had electric BBQ, which seems to impress the locals. One was in the process of checking them all out to make sure they met his standards.

Found at 1140, after thinking we were parking close to the cache - however it ended up being on the wrong side of the river!! Despite the glitch, the actual cache was easy to find - walked straigh up to it. Took the superman figure and left the candleholder with 3 candles. Thanks to maccamob for this one!

Found @ 2:15pm Took Mini Pliers aznd Left Kangaroo&Clamp.
Thanks Maccamob.

Lovely area, GPS was playing up and had GZ out in the middle of an open area. Went to where I thought it should be and found it straight away. Took butterfly keytag and left folding pliers.

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

Dragon's Pearl filled in the log on my behalf. Something along the lines of "Bloody easy to find compared to the others." I think that sums it up. The Sun was shining bright and we enjoyed the shade whilst smelling the peppercorns and logging our find. TNLN.

Finally, an easy one from Maccamob! Walked straight up to it, even if I did park in an unconventional place. Took the dice set, and left a matchbox car and something else.

Found at 1.50 pm.
Was a wondeful day for a walk and the scenery was pretty, ducks swimming in the river added to the enjoyment of the walk. Found GZ quickly and had to wait while a few people went by with their dogs and children. Took star stickers and left koala coaster. Thanks Maccamob for another easy and fun cache.

Found at 4:35pm. Again another excellent Maccamod hiding spot, how do they find them? With only a few people walking/jogging in the area getting the cache was pretty easy. Thanks Swapped a mini pie cutter (out) for a superman toy (in). Also picked up TB Silvester – hmm, where does he want to go?

A very easy find and a cache I have walked within meters of in the last few weeks without realising it was there. I even had plans of hiding one nearby. Left sylvester and took a survival kit. Thanks maccamob

great spot took nothing left nothing

Our first find, it took a little looking. +2 picked a monster finger puppet and we left a Mini Pie cutter. Thanks Maccamob.

Found at 1.10pm.
Another easy find, made easier by the large rock guarding the lair.
Had to be quick with this one as a dozen or so kids were playing in river very close nearby.
No swap made
Thanks Maccamob
K&M

Found at 1830-ish - thank goodness for daylight savings!! Slight delay while some kids departed after swimming in the nearby weir, but they were soon gone and the caching could re-commence!

Seemed pretty obvious where the cache might be - someone had made things a little too obvious by placing a large rock in front, so moved that out of the way and added a little more natural camoflage instead.

Took a christmas ornament, left a seahorse.

Lived in Hoppers Crossing for six years and never knew this spot existed - thanks Maccamob!

Nice easy find in a pleasant quiet area. No exchange made. Thanks maccamob.

Found 11:35 a great location for a Geo Woofer to run loose. Took Red electrical tape and left Scary finger puppet from Occasional Island.

Found at 2:40PM by Maya, Christine and Ray (The Nomads). This was our first of 6 caches for the afternoon. It was an easy find and the co-ords were good. The cache was in good gondition. We took the Glow Stickers and Film Canister caps, and left a roll of insulation tape and a glowing butterfly key ring. Despite our current drought state, there was considerably more water in the river nearby than the last time we visited the area. Thanks for returning us to the area. The Nomads.

Found at 5.40PM Our 9th cache for the day. 8 by maccamob and 1 by jomac so we owe the day to the maccamob family. We swapped a smiley stamp for the snowman (Bev is collecting ornaments for the Xmas tree). Thanks maccamob et al.

[last edit: 9/27/2002 1:29:19 AM PST]

Our first Geocache find! Very pretty area, hadn't been round there before. Swapped basketball for Long Nosed Anteater Toy.

A beautiful location just 2.8km from home. A lovely walk on a very windy, sunny Sunday Afternoon.

The third to find this cache after Muzza and KiwiDeb! Really running late now, I walked quickly to the spot and waited until a man had finished brushing his dog and walked off. Peered in an obvious location, then wandered around some more. Quick hintline phone call to describe my location and told Maccadad what I had done:
I looked there but there's nothing.
Are you sure there's nothing? Look again.
Grrr.... (spots the well hidden container)
I'm sure Maccamob enjoys hiding caches in places they know I hate - my imagination always envisioning something horrible!
Left a mini basketball and swapcard and took a deck of cards. Thanks for the hunt Maccamob, this is a place I'd really like to explore some more. (I was only half an hour late to the meeting in the end!)



[last edit: 2/28/2003 5:44:27 AM PST]

Hooray! I beat KiwiDeb to be the first finder of this cache. It was an easy find but in a pleasant location with a lovely walk to get there. It was found around 11:30, my third for the day.

I took the Santa Bear and left an emergency blanket in its place. So far, thats three out of three Maccamob caches for the day. Thanks.

3rd Cache for the day and Muzza beat me to it (about time ). Another one of your great locations maccamob thankyou. Sorry no swap this time either
thanks again
