Wicked hangout place! Shame its dangerous, the kids wanted to play on the treehouse so bad haha

Well this was a bit of fun! Saw this one was near me while I had a few mins to kill, so why not visit a tree house! Great spot TFTC love it!

Mr. P and Mr. 8 had fun climbing for it! Great spot! TFTC

Lovely treehouse. Forgot to bring a pen to sign, but will next time.

Just had hip replacement not up to this task. Great place loved the treehouse. Reminders of days gone by

Tftc. Very fun

Found ) lovely spot!

This tree house is amazing! I wish I could have been there during its hay day!

I came the hard way to look at this cache before the event but with only 10 minutes to spare I did not have enough time to sych myself up. So I butt slidded down the embankment to the Cito. I was mentioning this cache to a few of the others at the event. So of course there was a group assault after the event with a champ volunteering to make the climb up while me and the others wondered about the engendering of the pole semi attached to the tree..

Found by Mary and David at 11:25. Thanks mica for the agility and altitude. What a great area. Beautiful trees with plenty of shade. A FP. Our thanks to georoamaround.

What a cool tree house. The kids would love playing here. Well a big kid climbed it today and we have a smilie. Thanks georoamaround for creating for us all to enjoy. ...................................................Are you ready to nominate in the **2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards**?

Thanks for a fun cache! And a spectacular view of sunset

50 years younger and I might have been up for the challenge, but unless I needed a friend to help with the honours today. Once up, the cache was quickly spied and the log signed. Then back to terra firma and all was good. Bet the local kids do enjoy this area.Thanks georaomaround...cache all good.

back in our hometownmany miles from ballaratafter school or on a weekend afternoon, we often used to meet up with friends at a big oak halfway between all our houses the oak tree stood alone in a parka thick trunkweb of branches encircled by a ring of council bollards a big dome of green canopy lots of folk met at the treelocal kids like us would mark their place with bikes and scooters dumped by the rootsascend into their hidden hideoutwatch the world go by the oak tree was a stellar spot branches built for climbing the mottled screen of the canopy enough height to see the skyline to the west and the horse paddocks to the east sothanks for the adventure for the chance to reminisce and to climb up once again into an oak tree hideout

This cache was mentioned at a local event. Today, I decided to drive over here and check it out. Grabbed gloves and a climbing rope from the car boot. Just as a precaution. Wandered through the bush.The Ballarat Cycling Classic is on this weekend, and the MTB route goes above and down and around the tree Nobody seemed to notice me putting on gloves and heading up, equipped with a rope Grateful for a quick find at GZ! The cache is concealed but was easy to spot Safely back on the ground without having to practice my trapeze skills (or lack thereof).TFTC georoamaround Dropping off a **fave**.

This was a interesting spot, lucky I brought my trained monkey to climb for me. Thanks for the hide.

Met micaparamedic at GZ where he did the climb. Great concealment.Thanks for placing the cache georoamaround.

Arrived 3 hours early for the event I'm over for. What to do? After find a letterbox final nearby, this was an outstanding green icon on my map, try and remedy that. Made it to GZ, although mine was a little off. Did what the hint said and yes it is obvious once you make it to the proper GZ.Thanks georoamaround for placing this Traditional Cache to enhance the game board and add to our enjoyment.

My dad climbed up and found it got ready to call 000

A neat little hideout in the pines. A quick scramble up and soon on the solid platform. A bold hide too that was soon spotted. Back down to Terra firma.Many thanks georoamaround...

A quick find on our tree climbing day with Lionjrb. This was tree 3! We did ask the loriketts to fetch it for us but they were most uncooperative! Tftc

After the last tree climbing this one was a nice walk in the park. Depending on which way you looked down made it seem a lot higher. Thanks for the cache.

I stayed overnight in Ballarat and, having a little time before today's event, I picked a couple of caches to do beforehand. This one looked interesting, so I headed here first. It was a nice easy climb, and an even easier find.Thanks to georoamaround for the cache.

Once the local event was over we headed off to cache all the latest unfound hides in and around Ballarat.A lovely spot to find a cache, we remember attending a CITO a few years back here. We made the climb to found the odd thing out. Thanks georoamaround for the placement.

We are returning home to the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, from a trip to Portland to visit my father. My goal for this journey was to collect Tourist Friendly and Tree Climb caches for Challenge Caches in Dunsborough WA. This scared me more than the other one in Ballarat, and I wasn't climbing. Sketchy. A ladder would have made me feel comfortable about hubby climbing. We forgot he needed a pen, so he had to ascend a little to get it. Thanks for the cache.

Glad I had only to make the platform. Quick look around conformed it was all downhill, rather downtree from here. CIGC TNLN TFTC StA

Found it Found it03 Dec 23Clearly found the Camo with room for a bison, it must have fallen out? Just used the last one I had on the previous find . Did leave a logbook, it will last if there's not to much rain, but a replacement would be goodTFTC

Temporarily disabling while we do maintenance on the the geocache

Sunday already and we're working our way through the geotour caches. Weather is not on our side, so all is a bit harder then needed. Still having heaps of fun! Clearly found the Camo with room for a bison, it must have fallen out? Just used the last one I had on the previous find . Did leave a logbook, it will last if there's not to much rain, but a replacement would be goodTFTC Wilbert67

No luck here for us today, we believe we found where the cache should have been.

{FTF} While on a family drive, I spotted this new geocache with a tempting FTF opportunity. We drove to the provided parking coordinates and made on a short walk in to the GZ.Upon reaching the treehouse, a challenging ascent lay ahead, and peering down from the drop-off made me a tad anxious. My cheering squad observed as I cautiously scaled the tree. Upon reaching the top, I surveyed the area and swiftly located the cache. Success! I retrieved, signed the log, and returned it.The challenge didn't conclude there; descending was equally nerve-wracking, if not more so. The drop seemed daunting, but I managed to make it down in one piece. This was undoubtedly the most effort I've ever put into securing a FTF .A note for those with kids or pets waiting below: the drop-off is substantial, and there are bits of wood on the ground with rusty nails pointing up to be cautious of.Thanks for this geocache!
