Waiting on new cache container

Found today but it seems like pieces of the cache are missing including the log. Looked around to see if any pieces were nearby but couldnt spot any.

Quick and easy hide for the kids to find cheers

Very cool cache! Found while my picnicking buddies were relaxing.Bit of an adventure!Lots of muggles about enjoying the sunshine TFTC

Had high hopes, but the stepping stones were submerged and/or slippery. Our thanks anyway to TeamRobbie.

We found this cache after attending the 2024 Cache Crawl morning tea in Malmsbury. TFTC

Nice cache in a nice location!! TFTC!!

We were making our way back to our accomodation for our weekend visit to Bendigo, when this cache popped up on our radar. We had just enough time to walk from our parking place to GZ and back before darkness descended. A great walking path and loved the final crossing to the island - all dry today, despite the rain yesterday. SL at 5.30pm #11,080 A favourite point awarded. TFTC TeamRobbie

Found on the chilli Sunday morning. Loved the trek, and enjoyed the hide. Geo Wife wasnt keen on walking the last bit to Ground Zero.

Thanks, enjoyed a donut and a walk. Great little cache, never seen one like that before - going to have to look-in getting one Forgot a pen, but enjoyed the walk

Found today with not too many muggles around, though I did for get to bring something to sign it. TFTC.

How cool! Thank you, kids were smiling after this one.

Too many muggles to have a decent look

There were quite a number of birds on the lake as were walked around to the posted coordinates. As I approached GZ I unfortunately managed to disturb a number of Australian White Ibises and a Royal Spoonbill. Pity! The cache was spotted reasonably quickly. Nice cache! Thanks to TeamRobbie for the cache and the bird watching.

Found it very tricky i couldnt find it for a bit ill need to sign another day

Cute cache! Thanks! Log has about 8 more slots maybe, it's still nice and dry

A lovely morning walk alongside the lake. The stepping stones to get to GZ were a bonus, and then a quick find.Another beautiful day in Bendigo so we decided to head south. The area was not what we expected, but was interesting just the same with lakes and old water treatment facilities along with other historical sites. Lots of walking and long searches were our lot today.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache TeamRobbie.**SKI Pair****

Found with Grubbs1337 and ITWimdy. ??A great day out with Dad and his mate.Thanks for the cache ??

Found, signed TFTC

On my way towards Ballarat. Not aiming on getting there in a day. Lot's of caches to get.

A nice quick find today. Not too many muggles around. SL and replaced. TFTC

What a beautiful place, had a walk around the lake, other walkers were super friendly, made it to GZ great container but some part may have gone missing. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC

A lovely lake we often visit with my brother when here on holiday. He usually brings his remote control boats to sail here. Today it was just me and a lovely walk to the island. Great container. Thanks

What a beautiful location for a cache. We live nearby and love visiting this lake, and the linked creek trail.I visited GZ to hunt with my muggle friend, and after reading a few logs, we quickly had it in our sights.Never seen a container like this, and a really fun location. TFTC

Thank you for the cache.

Nice quick find on a hot day. TFTC

Yes

Another basketball weekend. Nice quick find. Beautiful lake to walk around. TFTC

Look up

Recent rain had some of the access underwater; but a good location for birds & a cache. TFTC

Found this cheeky little hide. Unfortunatly the logbook is missing. TFTC

In town with 2 cars today while one gets serviced, a shame they don't have a courtesy car for us to go geocaching.Reached GZ and my heart did a flip flop, geohubby recovering and not able to make the crossing at the moment, so it was up to me, AND I DID IT.The cache certainly isn't a drive by and I would say not a T1.5 either, but container is cute.Cache found and log signed, TB's visited

Very cute cache! Must admit I was scared getting to GZ, but that's the thrill of locations like this! Wonderful design!

TFTF

Gouws

Nice hide

TFTC great spot and cache

Loved the look of this cache, never seen that type before. Signed and logged in front of this beautiful lake.

Path is finish and cache is ready to find

The lake is currently under well needed maintenance and all paths are closed will keep you posted on updates

Checked cache. All in order and ready to be found

Fun to find…except for wet feet lol

Fun one

I dropped my car off to get new tyres so what other way is there to pass time? A coffee from the van & a stroll around the lake. Got a few photos of Mohawk Pigeons for my daughter who loves seeing these.
I loved the crossing and then, yet again, Geocaching taught me to throw out any preconceived ideas regarding hides!!
A fav from me for the location and the container. Many thanks

Ghihash and I made plans to do some caching around Bendigo and grabbed dinner.
After dinner we started a multi and grabbed this cache on the way past; as we went to put this cache back I handed it to Ghihash and we accidentally dropped it, after a quick search we relocated it and replaced it.
Found at 7:35pm

Find # 12413

In Bendigo for my appointment again. A little early so I decided to go caching...

Wow this one took a bit to find. Both GPSr and phone were having hissy fits on the island...but I got the little blighter in the end.

TFTC TeamRobbie

Passing by doing a multi i hadnt done yet. Stopped by with k9team who hadn't done this cache. I loved the new container!

Panic!!! K9 team hands me the micro to place back away when I dropped it!! More panic in the dark as we scambled around via tourch light terrified I'd dropped it in the water.

Desperation hits! Crawling around with the bull ants inches from my face where the heck did it go?!?!

Relief finally found it and so thankful it didn't end up in the water.

Leason learned: Don't be so clumsy with small objects!

Our 1st stop in Bendigo is at this cache. A very lovely park,stroll and cache. Have another fav point

TFTC and greetings from Tassie

Cute cache tftc

Back and better than ever
please log if something is broken or missing and please do not modify or hit with objects

Couldn’t help ourselves. In the area when the notification come thru and thought we would check out the next incarnation. Looks great. Well done! Greg

Awaiting new container to arrive to enable cache

One of the best caches we have found and we have found them all over Australia. Good hide son-in-law!

Needs maintenance

A quick find with little blue wren
Loved the camo. Signed log and replaced where found TFTC

TFTC. Signed and returned. FOUNED WITH Aussie fun seakers

Thanks to TeamRobbie for this adventure and hide.
The grass was quite wet as we approached the crossing point. Wet boots and trousers already and the day was still young.
Suscoe made the crossing, found the hide and signed the log.
All good here this morning.

A nice stroll around the lake. The spillway was impassable so via the swingbridge instead.
Hopped across the the island to the well hidden cache.
All good here.
Thanks TeamRobbie

Finally got this one today after a previous DNF where the prize was too deep in the tree for us. This new hide was well worth the effort for LittleBoss2 and I and Geo the puppy, who accidentally had his first swim today due to the first couple of rocks being below the surface. Always a bonus to have a laugh while getting a smilie. Thanks for placing and replacing, great hide

Found with Bogonghazy and Geo pup. Great little hide. Had a great laugh watching Geo pup have his first accidental swim. Thanks for placing the geocache

Great little hide! Perfect for geokids

Love a log on an island that looks like a t5 but isn't

Find No. 3772. Found at 3.45pm

A trip to Bendigo for a look around and do some shopping. Out at Kangaroo Flat we decided to see what caches were close by that we haven't found and this was the second of two that we had time for before heading home.
Such a cute tiny hide on a tiny island that was easy for us to get to today.
We left the area with a smiley but unfortunately no donuts for us as they had packed up and gone home.

We just loved everything about this hide that we are giving it a favourite point.

TFTC

Black Range Rover was here

On my way home from work arfter getting a few days knocked off my calander over the weekend I knew I needed to find atleast 1 cache today. Seeing this cache on the map I thought a walk around the lake would also do me good so off I went.

Really enjoyed finding this one. Thanks TeamRobbie for placing this and for your consistent matinance on the cache.

Cute!

We actually lived in central Vic for around thirty years, GZ was all new territory for us. Soon had our name in the log of a very clever hide.

Thanks to TeamRobbie for placing caches in interesting locations.

I haven’t spent much time caching in Bendigo, so with a couple of events on for the weekend I decided to team up with OzHockeyChick for some caching adventures.

We crossed the tretcherous waters to reach the island treasure and made the find soon after arriving. It turns out it was our second visit to this area after stopping for donuts in the car park earlier in the day.

Thanks TeamRobbie for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Can't believe how close to this one we were earlier on in the day. We had stopped over near the road to grab a snack and take a pit stop. It was only when looking for a cache on the road behind this park area that we noticed this one here. A short stroll and a balancing act and the cache was in hand. Thanks for placing it for us to find.

A weekend road trip camping adventure with RoamingHowie, exploring the Bendigo area as well as attending a couple of events and a cito, teaming up with Papi4506 & Geoturtle37 along the way.

We arrived and started heading over to gz, when we realised we'd been so close to here earlier in the day when we stopped for donuts.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, TeamRobbie

Gone again

After completing a 3 day ride on the Goldfield Track from Ballarat to Bendigo, I went for a short walk from our accommodation to the park. Luckily the water wasn't any higher as I just managed to keep my feet dry as I looked for the cache. It took a bit for me to find but got there in the end!
TFTC

Found during a morning walk on a speedy visit to Bendigo. Kids really enjoyed the variety of ducks in the area.
Quick find as we have a very similar hide ourselves back home. TFTC

Fixed PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE CACHE HOW YOU LEFT IT

Disabled until i can make it muggle proof AGAIN

No luck this time around will have to try again soon

Always pays not to assume, always keep an open mind. My closed mind had my looking in other spots to the actual spot, nice work

Replaced cache with a new harder to find container byo pen have fun

Enabled have fun

Had to disable as some idiot has removed the cache from the lpcation and is MIA

Great find just before a thunderstorm lovely spot TFTC

Quick find.

Fun find while walking our dog

Great find with our children

In Bendigo for Christmas with the rellies and out today to pick up a cache to fill another day on the caching calendar. A great spot for a cache and access today was trouble-free with the weather being dry although we were a little concerned about the creaking tree branches above. Although not in the first place we looked we were able to make a relatively quick easy find. TFTC and bringing us to this great spot. While we have stopped on the Highway side of the Lake a number of times we have never ventured to the other side of the Lake. After locating the cache we did go for a walk around the lake and across the swing bridge.

Found it does need a new pen

Replaced pen

Cache has been reset

Out for the day with LittleBoss2 trying to get her to 1000 caches by years end.
This one didn't help after we'd danced across the steps. We were able to touch it, but with no TOTT to help with the removal, we had to leave it for another day.
Thanks anyway TeamRobbie

Found today with a client, thanks for the hide.
