The 12 Olympians: Apollo ?? Musk, Victoria, Australia
By anikano on 28-Dec-19. Waypoint GC8G3M7

Well we must have had an old pocket query on our GPS because we had some confusion between our GPS and phone. Cache is still in place.

If it is alright with the CO we might republish this cache as the container is good and the location is great.

Have moved to Tasmania and ready to start hiding some new caches down here ?? thanks to the geocachers who maintained these a little longer for me on the mainland. These have run their course.

Great views.

Great view

Quick find beautiful day out tftc

Freedom meant an overnight trip to Mt Franklin with the littlest geokid to sleep in a volcano in our swags. Yah each time we looked it was gone. Easy easy find today, phew. Thanks for the cache.

Found it, took a while

A little personal success in overcoming my fear of heights.. I climbed the rest of the tower as well. Beautiful day and great views.
TFTC

Great find!

Tricky one

Third time lucky. It was good to find the cache back where it was meant to be. Nice hide. I climbed the tower just because. Very foggy so views were limited but hey ..it is great to be out and about. Thanks.

Found whilst on a run - forgot a pen but have attached pic. Thanks!

Thanks

Found during a rainy Sunday in the area.
Always nice to explore around here and we enjoyed the day.
Quick find just before a group turned up.
Thanks for hiding the cache for us to find today.

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14.
I had fun finding this geocache today.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
It was a little bit wet today but still really fun to visit this spot.
Thanks for hiding the cache.

We decided to go for a drive today with the geopups as it is our furbaby Indie's 8th birthday. The geopups love a walk, so we braved the chilly conditions as it was all about Indie today, oh and a few caches.

We have been here before with 2beez, here we are again. Today we found the damaged cache in its alternative location. Thanks to the previous finder for hiding it away safely.
Maintenance has been completed and original container replaced, with CO approval. The cache is now back in it's original location.

When we arrived LL said we have previously signed and logged this cache.
Afterwards Crackers said he didn't bother to sign us in again. Later we realised that we hadn't logged it so we ventured back to sign the log That's ok. We know it is definitely there and secure.

Found on the floor by Newbie Geo King after an extensive search by 4 of us. The magnet is broken and this cache needs some love.

Pretty sure this cache's existence is a myth.

Awesome
Found it after clayart workshop in daylesford
Thanks

Big thanks to the local cachers who have agreed to tend to this one now I've moved interstate. I hope others enjoy this cache

Unarchiving on behalf of CO. Please Enable when ready to be found.

The 12 Olympian series were my favourite caches I owned. I have moved interstate and am unable to maintain them. Thanks so much for the great logs everyone

Found after a long walk and deviating from the misleading hint, but after securing the cache I signed it a placed it back where I found it. Very happy I got it down pat TFTC!

Too tricky for us today.

Found. Nice spot, thanks. X

Lovely spot, but failed to find the cache.

TFTC. We were in the way home from Daylesford and decided hat just one more was in order. We pulled up here and first went up the tower to admire the view. We searched high and low but could not find the cache. We sat back in the car and read a few previous logs. Then we went back and searched in a different direction. Linda spotted the cache.

Loving this series! TFTC

This is yet another magical place I would never have visited if not for geocaching. I admired the view before beginning my search. I was beginning to think my luck was out until I widened my search and found the cache. Thanks anikano for another hidden gem.

What a spectacular view for the sneaky little cache!

Found it

Cache replaced

HOLY COW! Me and Catherinec19 are exploring Hepburn again and I found this little beauty BY ACCIDENT we didn’t even bring a pen or was expecting to cache today so we had to improvise but the magnet has fallen off and it was on the ground so I tucked it back in, Might need some glue but tftc hahaha

tytaylor19 and i were having an awesome time exploring hepburn springs and came across this cache completely by accident without even realising that one was places here! as we didnt have a pen on us we had to use clay to write out initials in the log ahah! easy to spot but awesome cache! thanks heaps

UPDATE we found a pen removed the clay haha

No luck today

The geokids love finding new towers to make paper airplanes and throwing them off. Thanks for this little detour.

Cache moved back into correct position ready to be found

Another brilliant location here, with the mystery continuing: How was this cool spot not found earlier?

Lack of exploration?

Lack of determination?

No fires seen from safely up here today. Sure this would be even more fun here on a very windy day.

Zeus's lightning, not so much.

Thanks for the cool location.

Love this spot, about time there was a cache placed here. It was visible from the car, not sure if it was meant to be better tucked in. Thank you for another local cache.

With all the on going issues in the media I was keen to get out and get some fresh air and grab a few cache around Daylesford while out.
I was greeted by the morning sun after making the find.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache Anikano

I launched into this cache find this morning
What a surprising find here !!
A lookout of all things,
that from the highway most just speed by

All alone here I wandered up,
and couldn't work out where this cache was at.
I wandered back down,
for a look from below

Something I should have done first,
I KNOW
With the cache spied,
I wandered back up,
and after much finagling,
got the cache in reach

TFTC and lack of views in the mist [^]

16th and final cache of the day with Claybol. Been a fantastic day and this was a great cache to finish up with. Initially went to the level the description suggested the cache was at and we spent about five minutes trying to find with no luck so we decided to go back down and look up to see if we could find there cache. Spotted it before we even got back on the ground. We could see the easiest way to get our hands on it and so we did, logged and returned. Reading previous logs was a great help in finding this. Having fund the cache we had to climb the tower and soak in the great view and breathe in the cool, crisp air to contemplate a great day's caching. Wish I had a beer or a glass of wine while I was up there. Thanks so much for the cache, Knocked off a few in this series today and loved it and will return to complete the series.

Find #2365 for me. Found with virbull at 7:39 pm while on our way back to Bendigo from Ballarat and after filling up several bottles of wonderful mineral water from the springs below (something I do most Sundays now). I can remember finding a cache here several years ago. That one was a nano, somewhere on the structure with no hint from memory so very difficult! In contrast I was very happy to see a nice hint for this one which made life a lot easier. Despite the hint, though, we scoured the area with eyes and fingers without success for 5 or 10 minutes. It was then that we read some previous logs suggesting we might have more luck if looking from below, which proved to be true as the cache was quickly spotted from the ground. From there virbull returned to make the retrieval while I stayed below to direct. Easy peasy! With the sun lowering in the sky it was a fantastic time of day to be here and also our last find for the day - 16 for virbull all up and 15 for me (he found one I'd already found). This was the perfect way to finish off a wonderful day of caching, so thanks for this cache placement and the other nicely themed caches you've placed in the area anikano - will have to return another day to find the rest!

We were muggled out here last visit, we could see the cache but couldn't make a move on it. Today there were no muggles and also no cache. Looking on the ground however proved fruitful, it appears to have fallen from its perch. So swapping the base over for a better magnet we signed the cache and rehid where we saw it last time.
Thanks anikano for the Apollo hide.

Found with 6Hinemoa2 and feathertop on a day out kayaking.
TFTC anikano

It was a good day for tower climbing. In fact today had been quite physical already and with some tiredness setting in now I was sent up to 'investigate' First of all we thought I would have to do a high wire act but common sense soon kicked in and with instructions below from 6Hinemoa2 and tagalong I blindly put my hand on it. Not the strongest of magnets these key containers but it still holds.
Many thanks anikano

After short hike (up) we found great views and a great cache - all 3 of us on another happy holiday in the caravan.

Another Greek God that I have heard about and another fine placement although as we approached GZ it was disturbing to think just how we were going to access that one.
Did the visual check first and it was Tag along who saw an opening. Feathertop climbed and retrieved while I supervised and directed from below.

There was a moment of “how am I going to get that?”
But, get it I did and it was duly signed and returned as found.
TFTC

Well that was an adventure, we were on our way home when a spur of the moment “hey have you kids ever been to Jackson’s lookout before cries if no and gee that sounds exciting filled the car. well not quite but you get the picture.

Walking up I actually found the cache without realizing and when we got to the top I checked the app and discovered yes it was actually a cache and we had better sign it.

Long story short number three broke it and we raced back into town to buy something to glue it back together and replace ready for the next intrepid adventurer. Repairs made and put back where I found it.

All up great cache and thanks for the adventure.

Found with geobuddy Sujuhaje as the rain started to fall. So wonderful to stand in the rain ️ TFTC TNLN

OMG we are in the grip of the 2020 bushfires and its just started raining. Happy dance time.
TNLN TFTC very quick find but nearly dropped it!! Left TiCheDaNa in the car ready to make a dash if hailstone came fown.

What a view! TFTC

Another lucky break. Had to take more steps than I wanted too but it paid off with FTF. FP for the views. CIGC TNLN TFTC

Someone has a souvenir.

Or the bananas are blaming the bushfires and all that smoke. The visibility was down to less than 200 meters.
Or like so much earlier in the day our eyes must have been painted on.

Looking up and down.
Climbing the structure didn't help.
Time rolled on.
Visitors came and went.
None of them helped either.

Well the last visitors lasted longer than us. I told them if they find it to ring 1300 Banana and we will return and sign hopefully in second position.

And possibly to see the view
