Thanks to MiniMe2000 for this cache.
After having visited here before we set about another methodical search.
After some time we resorted to a PAF.
Well that certainly redirected our looking and we then found this cache.
The log book is in pieces and it is getting a little brittle. Some TLC would be good.
Time to head home now.

After about 30 mins, still could not find it

Needs maintenance. Will do when recovered from the flu.

Great Giddings spot, took us a while buy we found it. Didn't have a pen so couldn't sign.

One windy, Wednesday in Werribee! A chance to search for caches which have been beckoning for ages and others fresh on the scene. We searched for quite a while here while the birds chattered on, - about to leave, then noticed a speck of color! Just managed to squeeze our name onto a very damp and crumpled log.

Satellites today had our GZ 8 metres west.south-west of where we found the cache.

Thank you MiniMe2000, for placing caches in interesting locations.

Great spot! Perfect for beginners:) TFTC!

Was pretty easy but great hide

Found. GPS was helpful.

Out on a very pleasant ride after dinner to find a couple of caches.
A little on the micro side to be called a small size, but found without drama in its hiding spot.
TFTC MiniMe2000

This certainly is a beautiful location in Werribee with birds enjoying the day. Good place to do a walk. Excellent spot for hiding the cache.
TFTC MiniMe2000

An easy find, the second one for the day. Is this an omen? Probably not!

A beautiful day for a bit of caching in my local area. What a nice quiet place. We said hello to a lady painting the pond. It was a quick and easy find. TFTC

We could not find this today

Unfortunately we could not find this geocache maybe the owner could come check for it that would be great

Certainly a nice place to visit on a rainy day .

Quick find, might need to be put in something a little more waterproof. The log is soggy.
TFTC!

Beautiful spot quick find

Yet another lockdown *(6.0)* and whilst we may not be able to visit people in their homes, we can meet up with one other person for 'exercise'. So after the prerequisite coffee, The Empire and I made our way to GZ. Been far too long since we have been able to get out and we decide to make the most of our 'freedom' by going for a walk and grabbing a cache.
Certainly a few people out and about on a pleasant day (masks and all)

Thanks for the cache MiniMe2000. Appreciate your efforts.

*Took*: Nothing

Found it. Keep your eyes low

Took us a little while but we finally found this cache

After a small search, we found it.

I think someone has taken the whole line ofF this river :’(

Third time lucky! My friend and I have been here twice before with no luck and finally found it today!

was not there

don’t understand the hint

I had been eyeing this one off since it was re-published, but things kept getting in the way of me getting down here to look for it (lock downs not the least of them). The frequent DNFs put me off a little bit as well.

Today, HerIndoorsOutdoors and I were down this way so we thought we might as well have a look. Knowing beforehand that we would be down this way I had done a bit of homework (hint to previous DNFers) and looked at images as well as reading the logs of other finders. The log reading turned out to be particularly helpful, especially Maccamob's (thanks Maccamob), and had us on top of the cache very quickly.

The cache is in good condition.

With only one unfound cache in our local area (apart from the obvious one) RGSBruce wanted to clear this one off the map and as he and I were nearby shopping in Wyndhamvale, what better opportunity.

We made our little detour between shopping stops and thanks to one of us (not me ) doing a bit of pre-hunt research it didn't take long for us to find the cute little container. That gave us a bit more time to appreciate how pretty it is around GZ and watch the birdlife enjoying the water. We wish we had a bit more time to spend here today, but then we can always come back .

TNLNSL. TFTC and thanks for bringing us to this lovely place MiniMe2000.

Cannot find item, I assume it’s been taken

Spent a long time looking for this one, and even with my eagle eyed children No luck. Coordinates clearly not correct and may need adjustments.

Found by Mary and David at 12:32. Second visit, and this time success. Had our youngest grandson with us today, as we'd taken the other two local grandkids out caching a few days earlier. More sun, a few walkers and joggers about enjoying the vibe. More frogs and energetic ducks. Found the cache about 5 or 6 metres east of our indicated GZ. Removed a Vegemite sachet, as food is a no no in caches. Thanks for verifying the cache after our first visit. Hope to see you at an Event one day. Our thanks to MiniMe2000.

Dnf

didn’t find it

In regard to the previous note, I have checked and it is still there

Been meaning to do this one for a while, and today was the day. We noted that there had been a few DNFs, so searched an expanded area around our indicated GZ for quite a while, with no result, Then used the PAF option, which narrowed and focussed our search area. Still no result, and nothing where the cache was supposed to be. Recommend a maintenance visit to check on cache location. Our thanks anyway to MiniMe2000.

Couldn't find it. Hint not very helpful.

Third times a charm

Could not find it anywhere but found some pretty mushrooms

Hmmm ! Doesn’t look like it’s here

Might come back another time, could not find anything and hint didn’t help

Found as we were about to give up, looks a bit damp though

Cute little cache but not waterproof/resistant, so a lot of mud got inside, TFTC!

**Cache relisted** - information provided by CO indicates cache is in place and ready to be found. Coordinates appear to be within 5m of placement location. Difficulty Rating adjusted from 1.5 to 2.0.

###FTF###

I was on my way into down town when this popped online.

A quick detour and I was parked close by.

A short walk on a rather mild day had me at GZ.

Well where can it be?

A quick search and I was soon signing the log.

May need a little maintenance as it seems to have a little mud inside.

TFTC

Looked all around but couldn't find. Try another time

Cache has been adjusted, the same coordinates still apply. Have fun & stay safe
