That's a nice Boulder Bonshaw, Victoria, Australia

I have made the unfortunate decision to archive this cache. I no longer live in the area making maintenance a little bit harder, this cache has numerous times gone walkabout, usually I have been able to locate it and put it back in its place, however this time I could not locate which is unfortunate as I wanted to retrieve the trackable inside, so it is disappointing that this also is now lost. It also seems that the hiding spot has become a dumping ground for dog owners who find it easier to litter their pets poo instead of disposing of appropriately.

Instead of replacing the cache, it will be archived.
Thank you for those that have found the cache in the past, and apologies for those who were not able to due only

See below note re: reason for archive

Unfortunately did not find, lots of bags of dog poo

I will tend to this cache this week and replace if it has gone walkabout

In the area visiting family. This was very close by so strolled here with the kids hoping to find. They know the area well.
No luck for us today.

Can't find it. But there are lots of bags of dog poo. Might try again later because it is indeed a lovely area.

Easy find. Couldn’t get out or write down because I had left my tools in the car lol

Containers a bit wet but easy find

Nice little easy find

Bit wet on the inside but pretty easy find

Nice to get out and about for and easy find. TFTC

This would be a lovely walk on a day that is not rainy! TFTC

Nice little walk with the dog the clue about rocks they’re everywhere hahaha

Cool geocache me and my mum went down to find it and I was looking on the wrong Boulder then my mum pointed out that there was a container in the crack of the other one

It was hidden behind a tree

Found Good place to walk the dog

Thanks

After an "Eventful" morning -- LX and Franklins Bridge Embankment Mulching we spent the afternoon catching up with a few stray caches such as this on our map. Very attractive wetland area.

Anything to do with rocks.. you got me. What a beautiful spot, all the plants are so healthy, tree guard's need to be removed though. Geopuppy would love this in summer

Picked a nice day to be caching - enjoyed the walk and noticed quite a lot of bird life. The cache was located , good co ords and hint. Congratulations karlycious on your first hide.

Nice late April afternoon stroll, enjoying the remaining sun. TFTC

.

happy easter

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 areas. Most of the roads were acceptable, some geocachers 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

A nice spot to find a cache to fill in a missing calendar day. Think I also might have found a vantage point for another side interest of mine too.Thx karlycious ftc.

Suscoe headed up to Ballarat this morning to catch up with our sister and to do some caches as we headed around Ballarat and we enjoyed her terrific company.
We were amazed at the development out in this part of Ballarat.
An enjoyable walk to GZ and a quick find.
Thanks to karlycious for showing us this area.

Easy find

Thanks for the find

Find #2642 for me. Found at 11:21am with my dog Bonnie while visiting the area from Bendigo. This was my last find for the day as I'd planned to meet up with my ageing mother for lunch and spend some time with her. My car navigator had trouble getting me here since none of the new roads were on the map, but it was pretty easy to find the right way in to this wonderful location. Thanks for highlighting this new little oasis karlycious, thanks for the cache and congratulations on your first cache placement!

Nice
Thanks

Been on BSRT series run by bicycle...
I looked at my iphone to see any cache nearby... here I am at the boulder.
Wow.. awesome!
Thanks karlycious

Tftc amazing view want to go for a swim it looks sooo good.

Checked cache, Looks like it has gone walkabout! Will be organising a replacement

After a search cache was located at a different location further down the track. It has now been put back at original position/coordinates

12:07
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! After 10 minutes and reading logs that indicate 'quick find', we came to the conclusion that this DR1 must be missing.

Thanks for the hunt anyway karlycious.

Out adventuring to lose with AlexiKatty and decided to add this smile to my map

Cool little walk. TFTC

Quick easy find

Well this was most definitely not a pleasant walk to GZ today. The wind nearly blew us off our feet! However once at GZ we were happy to make the find quite quickly. Signed and replaced. Thanks for placing.

Visited today with Glanville Girls. We were nearly blown off our feet with the strong wind but a good find just the same thanks

Found it!!!

K

The kids were very excited nicely hidden

Wonderful thanks guys

Thanks for the find.

Well it certainly was an impressive Boulder for sure…. I was impressed even more when the cache was found tftc

Nothing like approaching gz only to see a really fresh dog poo waiting to be stood in
A slight detour was made around the poo and the cache was soon in hand. Tftc

Found it

A nice walk in the fresh air today and I spied this cache neatly tucked away. Thanks karlycious for bringing me to this area, it is quite the asset for the locals.

Out for a couple of caches with Shumba7 ️

TFTC. Quick find out with Algae, had to log one cache for the day to get my stats up for august.

It was fun to find my first one

Big boulders indeed. CIGC TNLN TFTC

WE LOVED THIS ONE!

Yassssss found it- truly is a nice Boulder…

Found travel bug y9gmjc

That is a nice Boulder!

Indeed it is a very nice boulder. I did feel a little exposed as any one of a number of people could have been watching me!

Found it

The weather was very chilly as we wandered around the walking track admiring the new estate. Luckily it was a quick find at GZ so we could get back to the warmth of the car.
Thanks heaps karlycious for the placement here.
Congrats on your first hide.

Found it 1/6/21

Found 05/30

Very fun, thanks

This is really the edge of Ballarat here. Lots of active building sites today.
I parked in a side street and lapped the lake.
Good hide for your first. Thanks karlycious.

Congratulations on your first hide. Nice new housing estate and a nice walk to the cache.
Thanks for placing this one here karlycious

Sorry for the late log and a generic log. A combination of some heath issues making me not able to look at the computer for any length of time and a mishap with my phone that has caused me to lose my list of saved caches.
Found on a trip out with AusFox; and Neville_devil.
It was also AusFox's Birthday
Thank you for the hide

I ventured up to Ballarat on this special day with SimsFamily and Neville to attend an Event and CITO and grab a few caches nearby.
Plenty of nice boulders around. We found the one we were looking for.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Traditional Karlycious

Nice Find

Logged after today’s event.
A very lovely spot here which divides the contrasts of dog box houses on one side and golden paddocks full of black Angus cows with gum trees and bush on the other.

We saw this new cache pop up on our notifications before we even had breakfast. As we live nearly an hour away from Ballarat, we had no urgency to rush out for a FTF, as it would be highly unlikely we would beat any locals. So we had a leisurely brekky, then headed off to Beaufort to pick up a couple of things, then on to Ballarat, where we had the day plotted out at the Outdoor Expo at the showgrounds. We detoured past this cache and were surprised that we were the first names to go in the logsheet. Yes, they are lovely views from the top of the rise, and this new walking path and facilities will be even more special when soon completed. Thank you karlycious for the cache and for showing us your lovely area. And congratulations on your first cache placement.
