Had 4 pairs of eyes looking but we had no luck.

We couldn't find it at all after looking for a good 15 minutes and we had to call it quits.

Returned today with 4 sets of eyes and still couldnt find it. Must be a very tricky hide.

Thats a no for me. Searched the rails both sides but couldnt see anything.

Tried with limited phone coverage but alas not today

I also like big bridges and I cannot lie. Thanks for the cache

went for a barbecue with the family and picked this one up nice and quickly! very sad though because i found this one stick and it was perfect slingshot material, i then lost it and spent the rest of the time in mourning. anyways, thanks for the cache!

Tftc

Alas we lucked out too.

Too good for us

We will be back for another go in the future.

Had a pretty quick look at the rails but didn’t see it. M

On the way to Ballarat after a day out and headed in here for two reasons. This was the first one, and although I missed the hide on my first sweep, I spotted in on my return walk. Log was signed and all was good.

Thanks for this one guys....cache is all good.

Could not find it looked everywhere

Nice n easy, thanks

Quick and easy. TFTC

??

After attending the Union Jack Creek CITO, I headed further south to grab a few more caches before returning home. This was a nice and quick find as I did a tour of the forest.



My thanks to LukeB163 TeaganIsabel for the cache.

Good one

Found it thanks

Turns out I went the hard way to find it.

Replaced Log!

Out for a walk and a drive with Shumba7 around Enfield State park. Thanks for bringing us here for your cache.

TFTC couldn’t sign the log as it was full. Didn’t have a replacement.

Great little find!!!! East access without walking through the bush

We have headed to Ballarat to attend doctor appointments and in our spare time head out to areas that we have not cached in to find the many geocaches that have popped up in the forest and other areas around town. Most of the roads were acceptable, some geocaches were on walking/bike riding section which hubby hiked on and I drove the car and would pick him up along the way. All geocaches were found and were in good condition. SL TFTC

It’s time for a weekend road trip. After speaking to the bank and remortgaging my house I managed to scrape enough together for half a tank of fuel. So I buddied up with OzHockeyChick who took out a loan for the other half a tank so we could get home again. Definitely won’t be leaving the engine running this weekend .

I immediately recognized the title of this cache and burst into song

I like big bridges an´ I can not lie.
You otha brothas can´t deny.
That when your out drivin over a itty bitty creek an´
A big span in yo´ face. You get SPRUNG.

I was disappointed that I needed to play the tune as OzHockeyChick was staring blankly at me and needed refresher (but ultimately happy that the tune was played)

Cache found and log signed!

Thanks LukeB163 for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

A weekend road trip to the Ballarat area, incorporating an event, a cito, a couple of solved puzzles and exploring Enfield Forest.
Enjoyed a lesson on 90s music history on the way here. Wowee… teeny tiny!
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, LukeB163

After attending a nearby event and highly successful CITO, we headed off into the cleaner bushland. We were looking for potential camping spots and stopped at the Surface Point Picnic Area. We had a lovely lunch and a snooze before taking the geodogs, Mini Michi, Teeny Treek and Gypsy Girl for a walk to look for this cache. As you can see from the photo, the day was magnificent. We arrived at GZ and started looking for the cache. We found it after several minutes of searching; it is a tiny little bugger. The cache is in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache LukeB163 TeaganIsabel.

It was great to be back in the area caching and catching up with my buddy Rebel Acts.

I had planned on being here for a few days but unfortunately, work got in the way again, so made the most of a sunny Sunday.

So many new caches online around Ballarat and Creswick since the last time I was up this way, and it's awesome to see some lab caches here as well.

This is one of the caches that I found on the day, cheers for the cache and the opportunity for a smile on the map.

Found by Rebel Acts

Some good friends had decided to head to Ballarat for a few weeks so I decided I needed a break and joined them, we had a great time out caching as well as sharing stories and laughs around a meal or two. I really love the area of Ballarat there is so much history and I am sure it has the largest population of Oak trees in the Country.

This is one of the caches found today.

Some caches logged as RASP rebel acts &Ski pair.


Thanks LukeB163 for the cache.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

With work encouraging us to take some holidays and Mr SKI having quite a few weeks up his sleeve it was time to take another short break and do some sightseeing and caching in parts of Victoria we seldom visit.
This time we decided it would be Ballarat. There is a wide variety of cache types and quite a number of Adventure Labs to do, so the area is quite attractive. And that doesn't include the historical and interest aspects as well.
We organized to meet up with some friends while there so we would have the opportunity to do some joint as well as solo caching.
We have already had some great adventures on a few challenging caches that generated a lot of fun and as usual always good to find some pre-solved puzzles.
All logs signed as SKI Pair, RASP (Rebel Acts & SKI Pair or SP depending on size of logs and availability of space.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache LukeB163.

Found with MrsRoosta on our Feb Vic trip down South.
Another fine Summer day for a drive around the Ballarat area.
Thanks for the cache LukeB163,
***Roostaman****

Yes

Hehe

Fun find. Thank you. The scroll is a bit worse for wear and full.
Cheers

I decided to head out to Enfield and surrounding areas to find as many caches as possible in a 2WD.
The recent windy weather has caused a lot of limbs to drop and trees to fall which made some locations a little more interesting.
The cache was quickly located, hoping not to drop it.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache LukeB163 Teaganisabel

Great little spot. Kicked myself after geokid found the cache (which is walked past three times already...). TFTC.

Found after a little bit of a search. All quiet out here today, nice to explore these areas. Nanos don't belong in the bush

Nice quick find out hear today tftc

Took us a few moments but we got there.
Little brighter!
TFTC

WELL WELL WELL!!! We will be back here simply to explore the area more throughly! TFTC!!!

Quite an easy find. Big parking area

This was a new spot for us, stopping along the way during the Lab cache. Went back and forth looking for an eclipse in the usual spots. Got the coords within 5m and then spotted the cheeky little guy bold as brass. Thanks for the hide.

I love this area ! Tftc

Wow this bridge has changed a LOT since the last time a found a cache here. Visited today with Glanville Girls after deciding we needed to have a cache run.
Thanks for the hide

A nice quick find today thanks to the eagle eyes of Wozzle 68. He sports this one fairly quickly. Thanks for placing.

After enjoying a picnic near by we found this cache just as another team rocked up, after a short chat the log was signed and returned. TFTC.

Heading home after the first of the youngest team members sporting activities since the latest lockdown eased, we decided to take the scenic route and some back roads to add a few smiles. TFTC and the fun

Very quick find in a very cool location. Reminds me of home so thank you for bringing me here. Tftc

Wow had barely started looking when we got lucky and found it.

Awesome way to finish off a week of moving house. Gorgeous area. TSOMUCHftc

Found with GemmaSistema as we traveled around grabbing a few more finds between event & CITO. TFTC

After attending the nearby CITO, a couple of us set off to do the Enfield Ad Lab. Whilst in the area, we came across this little cache, hiding out in the bush area. Surprised to see these bridges right out here also. Thanks for the cache.

After attending a morning CITO up at Napoleons, Chook joined forces with Geoturtle37, Papi4506 and Whitepaws9, to do the Enfield Adventure Labs before the lunchtime event. This cache was one that was also found along the way. We hadn't been here before, and it was a surprise to come around the corner to suddenly be presented with these bridges. TFTC LukeB163 TeaganIsabel.

Caching around with GT37, Papi4506 and chook
Quick find by Papi4506
Thanks for place the cache here.

A warm and dusty Sunday afternoon. The nearby cito brought me to this area.
The picnic area was well populated.
The miniscule cache was soon spotted.
Thanks for your cache.

Nabbed a few caches with becca85 this afternoon. Nice spot here. Lots of trail bike riders around. Many thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary and David at 15:47. In the area doing Adventure Labs. A beauty, and a size we are familiar with. Gets a FP. Our thanks to LukeB163.

Out with bogonghazy today to what we thought would be a cooler place to cache. NO!!!! Just as hot here as in the Marsh.

Certainly is a big bridge for such a tiny cache. Took a few minutes but eventually found and log book signed. thanks for the cache

Out for the day with Sorceysal, and we thought it would be cooler near Ballarat today. We couldn't have been more wrong, as the temp steadily climbed to 37 degrees by 530pm.

This took us a while to find the sneaky little blighter.
Thanks guys

Golden Plains shire offered us four seasons in one day - wind, rain, sunshine and hail as we enjoyed a change of scenery and the opportunity to add a few more smiley tokens to our collection. As this is a first hide, will there be more big bridges to follow? We did wonder, given the great placement spots around here, why the cache needed to be so small?

Satellites today had our GZ 9m west of where we found the cache.

Thanks LukeB163 for placing this cache for everyone's enjoyment.

This was our last day of holidays today and we are in Ballarat mainly focusing on multi's for a challenge we are after but also grabbing any others nearby.

We are now heading down to do the Enfield Labs and try our luck with the nearby caches there.
They have done quite a bit of work in this area on the old bridges and we were hoping that we would be able to find the cache quite quickly here. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. We were over, under and along and then we spotted something a little smaller than what we were actually looking for and wondered how we could have possibly missed it before. We are happy to say that our name has now been added to the log and we share some of the cache page sentiments, we love big Caches and we don't lie.

Thanks LukeB163 TeaganIsabel for the cache.

This was an enjoyable cache to find today.
It is nice to explore this area as it is usually very quiet.
A real hidden gem of a location.
I worked on the new bridge when it was built last year.
The hide took a little searching before finally spotting it!
Was looking for a different container!
Thanks for the hide here.

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14.
A nice place for a geocache.
Thanks for showing us this area.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
I had a nice time in the area.
Thanks for placing this geocache for us to find.

Gosh! They have certainly gone to town here! Cache found easily enough.

This area has changed a bit since I was out this way last. Found quickly when there was something giving away the hide. Cigc. Tftc

First up congrats on your first hide. I hope there’s many more.
Sean.75 and I, along with hounds came out this way for a run. I remember searching for a cache on the old bridge that was here before this new fangled one. Tftc

Fun, adventure, travel, history, geology, mental stimulation, social gatherings, support and friendship are just some of the elements of geocaching.

Out and about enjoying the opportunity to grab a few caches, yours being one of those I targeted on my journey today. Thanks ??

Thanks LukeB163 (F=338 H=1) for placing this cache and adding to our game.

We have never ventured down this way before but today chasing an Adventure Labcache waypoint we made our way to the new bridges. Lucky the picnic/camping area is out of sight from the cache hide as there were at least 6 cars full of young people camping up there, must be a popular spot.
We initially were looking for a different type of hide but one of us spotted the cache blending into its environment quite nicely.
Thanks LukeB163 TeaganIsabel for the cache placement.

The geo wife and I were out and about in Enfield today checking out a few areas that we hadn't explored before and a few we had. Some time ago I remember coming to this area to camp and try our luck at some panning. The camping was fun, but the creek was dry. Not today, the creek was flowing right under us as we looked for this cache. I was expecting something else, so this one took us a little bit with our jumpy GPSr today.

**Many thanks to LukeB163 and Teagan Isabel for this cache placement for us to find and enjoy**

Mrs Perpetuallylost spots this one in about two seconds flat thanks to the GPS setting down quite quickly.
In the area this afternoon to get out of the house and take the geobeagles for a walk. Nice to have a new cache out in this area, tftc LukeB163 TeaganIsabel

Suscoe headed to Ballarat today and this was our first stop on the drive.
Very quiet out here with a few cars parked up the road.
Took a couple of passes before this cache was spotted.
Such a lovely new bridge and road improvements joined onto some rough roads.
Thanks to LukeB163 TeaganIsabel.

A new cache in my favourite area!!! When I spotted this one my whole plans changed for the day. Great hide in a wonderful area. Tftc.

Enjoyed coming out for this cache in a favourite area. Only two signatures on the log before us, both with todays date. No one came out yesterday, wow! Also enjoyed a lovely walk here. Hope to see more caches out here! TFTC

Found it, nice to be back here to search for a cache, as there used to be a cache here before the new bridge works. Tftc

tftc!
beautiful place
