Love the cache. Thanks

i knew something here looked out of the ordinary straight away. jumped out of the car and back in. beat the rain!

Thank you sneaky hide but found it easily.

One of those tricky ones that is so obvious once you see it: David

A quick find for us today. Great spot. Tftc

Got to GZ and found it to be quite rustic.

I wonder how many of these old horse troughs are still around the country as they are not allowed to be removed. I remeber one being near my children's bus stop on the NSW South Coast in the 1990s early 2000s, There were a couple on the trails when I used to horse ride the stock routes of the Darling Downs very close to Toowoomba in the 1980s as well.

Sign of things to come or have been… hey, I’m no nut!Thanks shann2122 for placing this cache and contributing to this great game. Happy trails, Deanside

Great to see this former equestrian ground repurposed and the water troughs displayed as a reminder. TFTC

Out and about on what was a rainy and then sunshining day.

It may be a sign, but it's a lot more to our community. Soon had the cache in hand, log signed and I was on my way.

Thanks shann2122....cache is all good.

Found on our way to the Cito nearby. All is well with the cache.

Elippa Miss 9 - easy to find, but it did scare her a little. TFTC

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.

This is one of the caches found today.

Thanks shann2122 for the cache.

Out and about on a week away to Ballarat to clean up a few caches and attend an event.
The weather was freezing and drizzling but we still managed to find some good quality caches as we checked out the area.

This is one of the caches found today.

Thanks shann2122 for the cache.

Thought I'd grab this one while bringing in the bins as it's so close to my house. TFTH.

Loved it! TFTC

Love cakes like this, so much fun.

scramping & I made our way to Ballarat for the long weekend on a mission to complete the GeoTour, which we accomplished. Today was home time, we collected a few caches on our way out of town. Yours was one of them. This looks like a nice place for family, friends & geo-pups.

Found it with hevwalker on our way home from a great longweekend in Ballarat getting the final GeoTour caches and my #5000 find. Also did 10 different cache types in a day, such a satisfying weekend of caching with great caches to find. Thanks for contributing my caching adventures this weekend. TFTC0

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there shann2122,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ). Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers are not mind readers (unfortunately), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56), so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

A new log book was place in this cache 19th December

Nice quick find, I just had to not take the hint into account as it nearly threw me off but we love this whole spot for the geopup runs TFTC

Super easy find. The log was stuck in the cache so unable to write on it

??

A short search on a sunny Sunday morning in Ballarat. Just a bit windy. Took a few minutes but soon in hand. I suggest ignoring the hint. Log is full as previously mentioned but I managed to make a small entry. Thanks.

Found with ease.

Log book is full.

Found it

Thanks for the cache

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

It's a sign, but of what? CIGC TNLN TFTC, StA #3923

With the late afternoon traffic getting busier we waited for the coast to be clear before reaching for the cache and signing the logbook.
Thanks shann2122 for the placement.

Nice quick find thanks!

Spot on coords meant that it was a quick find here. Well, it did take a small search really.
Thanks for the fun shann2122

Found it TFTC

The youngest team member has been to this area a few times with the scouts for construction/deconstruction days including building catapults and firing water balloons.
Today we managed to stop for another reason, the youngest member made the find, TFTC and the fun

Quick find with LukeSistema before soccer this morning. Thanks for the cache

Nice one thanks

Find No. 3680. Found with FUF009 at 3.19pm.

Down in Ballarat for a mornings shopping at Delacombe, then spent the afternoon caching.

A quick find here. We have seen quite a few of these hides.

TFTC

Find # 11082

Found with Tyred n Cranky.

After a morning of shopping we tackled the winter weather of Ballarat and went on the hunt for a handfull of caches.

Quick find here. But we did happen to check the obvious location first.


TFTC shann2122

Quick dash to the 'Rat for a few caches, a few op-shops, and a few bakery products. Find #1.
Thanks heaps, shann2122!

Out for an afternoon of caching and op shopping with book enthusiast geokid 17 with us. We promised a milkshake if he found one and find this one he did.

Now, you see, this is what happens when you accidentally on purpose turn up to a family function about an hour too early ... fill in time grabbing a few caches. One of our caches used this sort of hide, so no problems. Interesting area, we haven't been down this way before. TFTC.

After a very early start to a Sunday morning, Mr Dromaniax and Ausfox; arrived at the first cacher for the day. It had been a pea-soup fog until Bannockburn, but the sun was shining, and the morning was superb until we neared Beaufort and the cloud descended to ground level.

After a few conversations and some Twisties and Solo at the event, we headed to the lake for the CITO.

Once we finished at the CITO, we headed to Ballarat to find a few caches and drop some items off with family.

We were heading back to the Bellarine Peninsula and decided a few more caches would be a good idea.

The sign did not say long-haired freaky people need not apply.

The cache is in excellent condition.

Thank you for this cache shann2122

I ventured up to Beaufort for two events via Skipton then continue onto Ballarat with Dromaniax.
The day started in a low mist which continued throughout the cold and windy day.
We were surprised by tje tricky yet obvious hide.
Log signed and replaced as Found.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache shann2122

My phone had me all over the place but not near the real gz until i used a bit of geosense and spotted the cache then A cheeky hide TFTC shann2122

This is my first cache

Felt rather conspicuous here, there was a massive amount of traffic . Once the cache was located we walked away from GZ so as to sign the log without any prying eyes. Was nice and easy to replace unnoticed. Thanks shann2122

First geocache with my brother! Great find

10:18
Heading towards "Another Ballarat Community Celebration Event" this is one of the slight detours we couldn't resist along the way. A neat little cache was soon in hand.

Thanks to shann2122 for adding caches to the geo-gameboard.

I was distracted by the hint but when I arrived at GZ I immediately saw the cache.. but I think muggles would not notice it .. thanks shan2122 for placing and maintaining the cache

Quick find for jnr Amadds

Good spot

Thanks for the great hide

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
