TRIGonometry Werribee, Victoria, Australia
By maccamob on 15-May-03. Waypoint GCG3YJ

Replaced by TRIGonometry 2 - Baseline, GC2HAVP.

We have been interstate for 4 weeks. Will repair/replace shortly.

Sadly, yes, it's gone. We'll have to scout out a new spot not too far away.

Can you check and see if this cache has been muggled please?
Was with oldwinebottle who has found this cache previously and logged it as an easy find. It wasn't where he found it, or in the spot where GPS was telliing me it was or anywhere else close where we looked.

Found at 1pm

Found pretty easily once at GZ

Nice easy find with the 3yo daughter in tow. Found dusk/early evening (needed to use iphone as torch to write in log) in the first place I looked. TNLNSL TFTC.

A nice easy cache enjoyed by the whole family.

An easy find TFTC

Easily found, there was a 24 hour charity relay happening across the road but noone paid attention as we signed the log.

Well here we are at number 500. I had miscalculated and am surprised to hit 500 at this one but WOOT all the same. Great little spot I had no idea existed. Especially surprising owing to the number of times I have driven this road when we lived in Hoppers Crossing. TNLNSL TFTC maccamob. [500]

Found this cache as part of a 2-day blitz in Melbourne. My last one for the day, now to fight the traffic back to the otherside of Melbourne.
Thanks

After duties at the Fire Station this morning I thought today is just right to reach the magic 900 (For me) so off to Werribee for a spot of caching. Had a look at A Wall With a Difference but decided it would take longer that I wanted to spend on one cache today, some other time maybe. This was to be the first find in a quiet part of town not like the other end of this road as there was great activity going on. An easy find in a nice location so signed the log ,replaced and off to the next.
Thanks maccamob for placing this cache.

On our Geo valentines day the sun was starting to set so on our homeward trek we quickly visited this location. It was great to read the history. Gr8 cache and nice container..... TNLN

nice little bike ride tonight and thought i would have a look at this cache. have to say... the container it was in, i have not seen one of them in a very long time

good bit of history. well worth the ride to read about it. thanks

Found with little trouble, had to time extraction with the runners across the road.

Found this cache today on my journey from Melbourne to Geelong.
Thank you very much for showing this place
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

A nice and easy cache find, and an old school container too. TFTH..SL...TNLN

First find for the year slightly hungover but thought some fresh air might help !! V interesting read at cache site!!!

After a prickly start, I rethought my approach & quickly had the cache in hand. TNLNSL

Forgot to say that this was cache no. 50 for me

Lots of passing traffic, even on Xmas day, made grabbing this one a little tricky. Will return and investigate the area further at a later date. TNLN TFTC

Found quickly on a Sunday arvo. Felt a little exposed to muggles driving by though. TNLN TFTC

Nice easy find at 5pm with the geokids. Fourth for the day. TNLN TFTC

A nice easy find on this one. The area was deserted on a Sunday.
Interesting reading on the plaque.
Thanks maccamob.

Number 2 on today's tour. Very little traffic and no pedestrians made this one a walk in the park.

TFTC, wemwolf

Found with no problem.
Weather was pretty inclement but cache is dry.

Nobody around on a Saturday arvo, so it's obviously a good time to get this one. It's a logical hide in a nice spot. The sporting facilities across the road look impressive. I wanted to read the info board but the wind was rather cold, so I ran back to the car.

Had a need to drop into Hoppers Crossing today to renew the drivers licence (where has the past 10 years gone!) so took the opportunity to grab this one on the way through.
Easy find but not enough time to investigate the original trig point. Maybe on a return visit to renew the licence again!
Thanx for the cache maccamob. TNLN

8th find of the day. Quick driveby with a lake nearby. Didn’t see anyone on foot about other than the passing cars on the road far away. TNLN. Thanks maccamob.

Found @ 1330.

13th of 21 for the day whilst on a caching bike ride with ggkof. Found the cache with no problems, I'll head off to look at the trig point another time. TNLN.

not my best subject but this improved it a quick find

Find # 241 @ 17:05 and the last one for the day. Well, I know a little more about trigonometry now. TNLNSL TFTC

[339] 2.30PM.

Quick find while returning home to Shepparton after brother attended an induction course at the local waste water treatment plant so he can continue doing his bird photography there. Football match (soccer ?) in progress across the road.

Tristan has come for a flying visit back in time.

This was a simple find for the geoteen. Geodad (physics teacher) spent time reading and appreciating the information on he display board. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC TNLN

2/6 fount for the day @ 6.00pm.

I can't believe that this cache was located here. I've been going to that uni for 3 years after this cache was placed!

Better late than never. Now my numbers as really wrong.
Visited this cache on my last day in Vic before heading home - last year!
I remembered I'd driven on this road before. Uni security came to check us out this time around...
Thanks maccamob.

Found on The 2009 Adrian Mc & Swampy Caching Adelaide And Beyond Tour
Find # 25

A nice quick find on our back to the caravan park for the night. Pity it was dark as I would have liked to read a lot of the information boards.
Just as I was signing the log a security guard stopped to ask what was going on, luckily Swampy was still at the car and came up with something to satisfy him.
Swampy also realised that he had already found this cache almost a year ago but just completely forgot to log it. Must be old age catching up with him!!!

Thanks maccamob for another good cache.

My first solo find. It's comfirmed. I am now addicted to caching. Currently on road trip, will look again at next port of call (SA)

Took lastic Stingray
Left: Rubber $100

thanks for the cache

Took 3 visits but finally got it . thanks

All ok despite removal of a tree nearby.

Found by Bob at 1120

I certainly seemed to have picked a good day to finally get out and tackle all those Werribee area caches - sunny, calm and a very pleasant 20°. It seemed as though all the muggles may have headed in to the city for Moomba too, as there was a definite lack of both pedestrians and vehicles in most of the areas I visited today and I was able to really snap them up very efficiently [:o)]. This cache was to prove typical of many I did today - park nearby, short walk and quick find although most of the hides are quite good and not muggle-prone and have survived for quite long periods .

TNLN

Thanks maccamob - it was about time I got my maccamob cache count up a bit!

A simple driveby after a worktrip to Melb. Fancy that, a heritage listed trig point. Thanks Maccamob.

Nice and easy hide here, very interesting about the trig station, will have to go in search of the point next time i am down here. Cheers

Found with The Lone Random TFTC

Found w Kiwi Friend.
Good solid day out cleaning some that were missed in earlier.

No head torches needed for it because it was daylight but the little red tags still love wearing them

Nice easy cache with an interesting bit of history thrown in!

A quick and easy find.

Had a friend when I live here who went to the nearby educational centre, so at least I knew what was here.

Fairly quiet on a Saturday so no problems finding the cache.

TNLN & TFTC.

Cheers,

TB Impossible Princess paid a visit to mark her arrival in Melbourne.

Found at about 8.30am this morning. Didnt plan this one but noticed it come up on my GPS and the beep alerted me. I pulled over and had a little walk and wahla one weird looking cache.

Thanks for the cache....

An unexpected surprise out in the middle of nowhere, interesting reading nearby. An easy find on our way to Geelong, Thanks D&M.

Not too hard for an early morning find. There was some work going on at the nearby sports building, but they were too busy to notice me.

Interesting reading here too.

Found @ 1:55pm Very busy road, great spot. TNLNSL TFTC

Thanks for the visit to this interesting spot maccamob!!!

What a historical site. The Western side of Melbourne is an undiscovered place. I never knew there were so many interesting and historical places!

Thanks maccamob for sharing this site and for the cache.

An easy find along with 4 Fun

A trigonometry cache without maths to work out, what more could one ask for?

Found at 0725. Easy find with some great information of the past. Stopped off photograph the trig point a little further up. Interesting, different cache container.

TNLN. TFTC.

2nd find of the day on our Werribee Wander tour. It was an easy find because even at 0955 hours it was getting hot and we had drunk our first bottle of water. And we could not believe how dry it was over here guys, the grass was all gone and the dried remains crunched beneath our shoes. We will have to send some back to you me thinks. Anyway an easy find and very few people around. TNLNSL Thanks maccamob.

Nice easy find on a blustery day. The hard part was how to fit the log back in the cache! Very interesting location, thanks for bringing us here.

B-Team find while in town for a short work visit. Located the cache, but was surprised to see that a large spider has taken residence at the same location and is very protective of the container. I extracted the cache and the spider, completed the log and no sooner had I rehid the cache, the spider very quickly scampered back to resume its guard-like position. Let this be fair warning to the next visitor. TN Left the spider in situ Good Luck!

While taking the scenic route to pick KL up from work the geomunchkins and I decided to give this one ago as I had visited the South Base Stone before. After being told off by D for parking on the footpath we made our swaps and hurried to pick up KL via the fish and chip shop.

Took smileys
Left something, possibly my brain, I can't remember...

Grabbed this one while in the area. Had a grin at the interesting cache container that was doing a splendid job of keeping the new logbook dry. TNLN.

Found at 2115 hrs on the way to night shift. Nice easy find. Had to be careful of muggles, that road is busy!!!

Late night bug grab - off home to Seattle tomorrow morning, so we'll take these four bugs for a ride. Shhh ... don't tell the Customs doggies .

Count #0121 found at 1030hrs.

The siren went off in one of the building nearby as we were approaching the GZ and we quickly sign the log and get out of there within minutes.

FYI, the log sheet is almost full.

TNLNSL, TFTC.

Found it at 11:00am.
First cache find in over 2 years, although I hadn't been looking too hard!!!
Took my now 2 1/2 year old on her first hunt and she loved it. Had tried this cache some time ago but there were too many people around to locate it. No problem what so ever this time.

Took: 2 x dogs (not my choice bet hey it was her first find! )
Left: Key ring.

Thanks Maccamob.

Found @ 11:15. 4th of 13 starting at Werribee and cycling the Federation trail back to town. Got a puncture on the bike as we approached so left this on to the GeoMrs to find and log. Got a toot from a 4x4 we didn't reconize and wondered if it was DAGS as he'd been there only minutes before us. Anyway bike repaired and time to continue. Thanks. TNLNSL.

bug visit

Found it today, once again on the way home from work. Very interesting story board. I to am puzzled at why it is so far away from the actual reference stone. (Imagine geocaching in those days!!!!) Does the North stone still exist? T kookaburra, left two dogs, SL, TFTC and intersting location.

Find no2 on holiday from Hobart to SA via Vic and what an interesting one. Even got Senor el golco motivated to walk hither and yon across motorways and train tracks in drizzle and wind in a vain attempt to find one of the objects in question.
Co-ords spot on. TNLNSL TFTC maccamob, most enjoyable

Found today by Mr Emu @ 6.00 p.m. GAFF1 on his daily commute from Melbourne to Torquay. Wanted to do a bit of homework for another cache, so it was a good opportunity to visit TRIGonometry on my way past. Took: Nil; Left: Nil

I really enjoyed reading about the baseline and how it was measured. How arduous! Thanks for this interesting cache maccamob.

Ah, my 550th cache! I was hoping some maths might be involved when I rocked up, I'm probably the only one disappointed by it's absense! The spot was certainly very interesting, thanks Maccamob.

R - B

Quick visit when in the area.

Found the cache with relative ease and made a visit to the referenced sites and had a great day enjoying the Victorian summer sun! The RugRat made the find, TNLN.
