Found it

Well placed

Got to GZ and made a quick find! TFTC!!

Hahaha cheeky

At my last attempted find i was muggled by someone sitting in exactly the wrong place. Driving out here i thought it would be less of a problem but as soon as i arrived so did a walking group from one direction and three cars from the other. The geopooch and i had a wander through the bush while we waited for the area to quiet down. Eventually we were able to approach and make the find, ahhh. I needed to get out of the house and breathe some fresh air for a while so i headed off for an afternoon caching getaway. I didnt have a firm plan but started nearby in Harcourt and wandered my way towards Creswick. I enjoyed the countryside and had a great time finding caches as i went. Battery Dam and Distillery is find number 3,511 for me. A fun micro sized traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in Central Goldfields Shire. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. I am logging this one on Tuesday 2 July 2024 at 3:15 pm and the weather is Clear Sky 12C 44% 2 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy Ons3Saam.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

A nice easy cache after not finding one in years. This is a lovely peaceful place. TFTH

After being in Lameroo for the annual JLWE event this year with an 80s theme, we are slowly making our way homeOut and about with Ronice88 today to pick up caches here, there and everywhere.Stayed the night in Maryborough and we decided to collect some caches before leaving the area this morning.

A very cool biting morning for a walk. Winter finally here. On a multi mission with weirdobiker after the Lameroo Ludicrous Leg Warmers events in SA and now heading back east via a through different LGA's. Its been great exploring the country out west with plenty of highlights to remember. TFTC and the lure.

#MWC fantastic place for a cache

Great to learn about the local history, thank you.

Nice spot

We found it yau!

Excellent

Found it!

A very interesting location to visit.Its a shame that the information plaques have all faded and are unreadable.TFTC we found it to be a fascinating area.

I took a break from work today to head over here to find this cache. We're working on a streak so I was very happy to see some newer caches around Maryborough since we'd found almost all in the area last time we visited.Thanks for find #5371TNLN

Found , thank you

Find # 13263Found with Tyred n Cranky.Last day of 2023, we decided to load up the push bikes and head to Creswick, for the letterboxes trail and "Goldfields Track" along the Wallaby track.On our way home we stopped in Maryborough for some shopping and KFC. Before leaving Mr Tyred n Cranky drove out to this one for me, as they had found it and it was my only unfound cache around this area. Have been here a couple of times for other caches. Cool history in the area.TFTC Ons3Saam

TFTC Ons3Saam your cache Battery Dam and Distillery that we found today we made our way south for Christmas. WE were visiting our old neighbourhood on our way south. WE spotted a couple of caches that had been published since we moved north to the other Maryborough. A quick find by Linda.Find Count: 17431

Coordinates are 7m off, tricky but fun find. You don't need to get in the hole

A very familiar site to revisit today after finishing a cache maintenance run in Majorca. We owned a multi using all the information boards but as they are now, unfortunately, unreadable we sadly archived the cache. It was good to return and wander around this historic site with the added bonus of this cache find.Thanks Ons3Saam for the placement.

Off to Maryborough today to catch up with friends so a quick detour for this cache. Its a great spot here. Fantastic history! Thanks for the cache.

Find No. 4421. Found at 12.05pmWent to Talbot to the Annual Swap Meet and on our way back to Maryborough we made a detour to grab this cache.A quick and easy find.TFTC

Found it today

TFTC A tricky one.

Not sure how I missed logging this one. We found on the day of re-publishing but had missed FTF. A nice quick find. TFTC

TFTC! 29 September 2023 10:51:52 am 5950{FTF} at 10:51am 29.9.23On our way through the area and saw this one! An interesting walk around the area and a FTF too.

2TF Wanting to go on a little road-trip today, but unsure in which direction, Geowife said there was a FTF available near Maryborough. Being nearly 2 hours away, I thought surely it will be gone before her get there, but why not, Ive driven further for a FTF. Leaving home about 11am, off we went, Geowife checking FTF status every 20mins, still not found, surely not Im thinking, and soon enough we arrive at GZ. What a cool spot, this is why we love caching, brings you too cool spots like this. Anyway we had a cache to find first before we took in the history of the site, I soon had change in hand, and discover it had already been foundbefore we left home in fact. Anyway as disappointed we were not to nab the FTF, we signed the log, love the location. TFTC Ons3Saam

Found it thanks. I never knew this place was here. Didnt sign the log as I didnt bring a pen.
