Fountains are forever Norlane, Victoria, Australia
By Team Uneven Distribution on 02-May-04. Waypoint GCJBTT

due to the recent logs, and the reality that family is no longer in geelong we are pulling this cache. I hope it brought many people joy during its time.

as below

OK, not cool, Indiana08 and i arrive to this cache to find bits of the logbook, the sticker and nothing else, this one has defiantly been muggled!
Bummer, Need someone to fix this one up!
If you want the remains let me know,

Found it! My first cache. Very wet. TNLN.
Thanks Mud Rat.

Found cache today with shane.thompson at 5:45pm, TFT TNLN.

Found today with WB-Holden at 5:45 pm. Cache is in need of good clean and new set of Co-Ords'. Thanks Team Uneven Distribution.

Cache is extremely wet, unable to sign log book, unable to read it either. Signed a piece of paper and put in log book.Took Geo Munchins out today.
TNLN

Went to cache site could not enter log as logbook was WET, also smelt like urine, and small mouse droppings. Thought I should let you know. Cheers from Snakecatcher.

Found the cache... unable to leave a log entry due to the log book was completely WET, as was every thing in the Cache. There was a heavy smell of urine and small traces of mouse droppings in the box. Did not take anything or leave anything. Thought you should know. Was a little disappionted as this was my third cache for the night. hope that it can be set back up soon as it is a great place to visit. Thanks, Snakecatcher.

A quick find.
Watch out for the prickles.
Took the Little Yellow Flower TB
Thanks for the cache

I found this cache quite a while ago and was also puzzled by the name. I realised it was in the Fountain of Friendship park but where were the fountains? Recently as I was driving along the main road I saw some rather large plaques on a bluestone "wall". This wall is the remants of the "Fountain of Friendship" hotel that was once a busy watering hole for travellers through the area. If you do the cache stop and read the plaques for a history lesson. Cheers VP4

Having nothing to do, so thought i would go through some local caches logs, found this one needing a replacement log book. As its approx a 5 minute walk from our place, grabbed a little spirax pad, put the dogs on the lead for a quick drop off.

Clocken K's

Also dropped off a cute coin "Little Yellow Flower"

The Middle MiniMee (DrWevil has a new MiniMee weighing in at 7pb4) found this in 2 Secs flat. TT pointed directly at it.

L= KrispyKreme Coffee Card

Needs a new log book.

Hi Thanks for the note explaining the name. We only just read it though when I came in to write this note.

We drove past the park this morning from a different direction and it dawned on us what the connection with the name was.

the parks name is fountains of friendship.
friends are forever
therefore fountains are forever

Ok, so the ones that remember us from when we started all those years ago know we sometimes have a twisted way of thinking and had a strange obsession with caching at night. Much more challenging and loads of fun to.

enjoy

20th of 23 caches for the day in the company of L'Red. Tom Tom wanted us to drive up the track, but we found a spot to park not far away. Found the cache easily enough. Not sure of the significance of the cache name though, perhaps some one can enlighten us. Logged at 1900 hours.
Thanks for the cache Team Uneven Distribution.

Nice easy little find Needs new log book found with sarrett

Last find for the day after attending the Geelong catchup. Nice one to finish up.

The flyman's 1st find. thank you

Easy find with kids in tow, My first Geocache find that I was looking for after finding one 3 days ago by accident.

0070 re-logging due to name change

It was so obvious - find the fountain and you find the cache. Yea, right. Started on wrong side of creek and then detoured via truck because it started to rain. Ain't caching fun!! Thanks for the cache.

15:45 was found with geowife takIng me out again while on holidays. Very dry location at the moment. T: Ducky L: sharp sissors SL TFTC - Bug Little Digby TB dropped - Bug Braunschureig TB picked up

3.00pm
Found by Roma and Max.
When GZ is close to a waterway, Murphy’s Law determines which side we usually choose to start our search from! This proved to be the case 3 times today, with one instance even involving a 2m high security fence.
However once this hiccup was sorted we proceeded to make an easy find.
In: Mondo Figurine.
Out: Wombat.
Thank you T_U_D for the cache.

Found by Winchy 15/3/07 whilst working in Geelong. Took Viking and left Dinosaur. TFTC

11:45 King and Queen have borrowed the Seniors motor home and are off to Port Fairy for the folk festival. No trip would be complete without caching on the way This cache took my queen to find while I pricked my finger on a thorn and looked elsewhere my queen was a bit more thorougher (as usual). Thanks for the nice cache. In: TB Do you know my name ? - we thought it was Rumpelstiltskin but we were not sure.

Found in a very prickly location by Mr Emu & son, plus (punctured!) daughter. A new area of Geelong for me, so nice to have a look around. The only muggles around were in the skate park to the West, and seemed well out of view. Thanks for the cache.
Took: Nil; Left Nil.

Last one for the day. In a hurry to get back on the freeway to avoid the worst of the traffic returning to Melbourne, we managed to track this container down quickly but couldn't avoid the prickles. TNLN. Wonder if there any caches in the sister city in China.

quick stop to grab this cache on the way through Geelong on route to start a trip along the Great Ocean Road TNLN
log book was getting pretty full too ...

Ouch - I don't like prickles! Nevertheless, the cache was in an area of Geelong I had never visited, and the walking track was very busy today.

Thanks,
R - B

Having finished shopping (looking) at 'Ray's Outdoors' while in Geelong, checked the GPS, just over two KM's to the nearest cache... so off I go.
Many wrong turns and dead-ends later, I get to with 200m, close enough to walk.
A very prickly location, made easier with the help of a stick. After several minutes of proking, I made the find.
TNLN, TFTC.
Although this does need a new log book, as I had had to sign on the back of the pad.

An easy albeit prickly find. I didn't realise how prickly until my hands made contact with the undergrowth. After that I was a little more circumspect with my searching and soon had success. TNLN thanks Uneven distribution team and hi to beccaj.

GAFF 1

Took: Cat
Left: Lizard.

Thanks Team Uneven Distribution

A nice Easy find on a sunny day. Took Octopus, left cat. The cache was nicely covered when I found it and so I endeavoured to leave it that way. That vegetation is a bit spiky though so you have to be careful! Thanks Team Uneven Distribution.

found it @ 1443

nice easy find

cache slightly uncovered on discovery as noted by others think its the wind recovered really well on replacement

TNLNSL

thanks Team Uneven Distribution

Had to drive around a bit to find a parking place. After a nice walk it was an easy find.

Thanks for the cache, good way to explore another town/country. Took nothing, left geo-coin. It had a brief visit to New Zealand.

A quick find while escaping from the family festivus briefly. Cache was visible from several metres away and I see previous hiders have observed the same thing despite it being rehidden well. Maybe the locals are checking it?Nice spot but no fountains. TNLN TFTC

Found by Bushfire-Red Ant late in afternoon. GPS suggested that I approach from the east and then had to use it find my way out as I have never been in this area before.Cache was very easy to find so covered it well as I left.TNLN.Did not sight the fountains only a small creek or drain.

Nice day for a stroll. T dog clip, L golf ball.
Thanks

Found nice and easy on a beautiful day for caching. Left duck, took nothing.
Thanks Team Uneven Distribution for a great cache

Last for the day, a quick find...almost too quick...I could clearly see the container from about 4m away! So we made sure it was not so easy to spot when we left it.
Not sure where the "fountains" comes into it? Maybe if we came at it from a different direction perhaps? We found tomtom navigator taking us on a royal tour of Norlane.
T: Spinning top L: Cute Koala

found just before dark at 17:45h

I had some difficulty finding the way to approach. After driving around the area and almost gave up I could park my car at the nearby petrol station.
Had a nice walk, being lucky the rain stopped for a change, and found the cache.
Didn't spot any fountains though.
SLTN left kids toys.

Just a short stroll from my abode, in a place i hadnt been to for ages, brang back memories of my childhood. thanks Team Uneven Distribution. Found at 16:30 It was rainy so no muggle problems.

Try to avoid the Easter traffic through Geelong we found this cache was just off the road we were going down so stopped and grabbed it. Just in time because it started to rain just as we packed it up.

Wrong side of the creek wouldn't you know. Once on the right side went straight to gz. quite a few muggles so we had to wander off and come back a little later.
TNLN

Noticed TB's arrival at this cache, Nav Boy never had one before, was excited to return to this cache for his first TB find.
Windy cold day, took the dogs for a run through this park, while Nav Boy searched for cache. Due to weather park was free of muggles.

took TB
left nothing

Last one on the way home tonight (Dark - Ha! I've got a heads torch). Crossed the creek, although it did not have too much water present today.
Easy find (that's because Jen found it before me ).
Took: Car, Left: Tongariro TB (looks like a rainbow trout to me).
Thanks, Robmc.

Found this one on the way home from the Anakie fire area..nice and easy took nil left nil..careful of prickles..found at 16.15 few muggles about but got the job done AOK..good fun..

Found at 6.10pm GAFF1. On our way home after spending the day at Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads for a birthday party, we stopped by for a pleasant stroll and to maybe work off some of the excesses we had. Nice spot and it was good to see that the eXplorist 600 took us straight to the spot - no Meridian overshoot!! Thanks Team Uneven Distribution (what has happened to this team?) tn/ln.

Nice walk to a nice cache area...thanks for the chance to check out this area.

Eleventh atempted for day. In town on business and travelling alone.
Late afternoon and muggles was in back yard watching me. Definitely a prickly little customer, but didn't sight cache.
Another of those times when it would be nice to have a couple of companions to run interferance whilst the cache is logged.

Good one to find at 3.20pm, met some other geocachees there also...
Thanks Team Uneven Distribution for a fun day out..
TNLN

Ok,went back another time,and found it,got a spike in the finger,but at least i can write it off now...very hard spot to get to without being caught by muggles...took a plastic girl and left a little car...take some gloves if you want to keep your hands in one piece...thankyou..Steve & Tena.

Found at 17.06 28.09.05 By Garry (Team WGR)Craig & Robbie
Were a few Muggles about but got the mission done with a fellow cacher..Took travel bug (H's Tasmania Mushroom # 518914 )and left a toy action figure (Soldier)By the way the mushroom wants to go to Tasmaia if any one is heading that way..have to wait till next log for the mushrooms location..

Delightful place to stop off on the way to Deakin Uni on Sunday afternoon (the 25th). BUT, I just got back to Canberra and saw the MCCA log! I hope my find wasn't seen from the muggle castle across the way.
Left H's Tasmania Mushroom in the hope that someone going to Tassie can pick him up and carry him over the straight. Took Lion to Anglesea.
Thanks unevens, I hope the cache is OK.

1st find of 6 for the day. Quick trip to Geelong to drop off Deano's iBook for some repairs.
Found at 11:05 am.
Had to avoid a dog-walker.
Took Lizard (now a mascot in Jase's Geo-Echo)
Left rubber snake.

This was my twenty first of twenty three cache finds for the day, in company with Dak Emu. On arrival at the car park net ball was in full swing and the place was Muggle city. The cache location was soon found and some skill had to be used to retrieve the cache with out being spotted. I removed some dog chews from the cache, with all the dogs going past here it would not belong before the cache was sniffed out. Wait several minutes to return the cache, so that we would not be seen. Thanks.

Found this prickley cashe after a short look, constantly looking over our shoulders for passer-by's. Decided to find this cashe on our way to buy a loaf of bread, nice walk.

This was our third and last for the afternoon today, or should I say sixth for the arvo because we did Mr Blobby's Multi "Pocket Puzzler", which is actually four caches but you can only log one. (Ripped off, I say) Anyway this was surprisingly hard to find even when we pretty much knew where it was, We got sprung by a muggle just as we retreived the cache, he came right up and asked if we were looking for rabbits. Just didn't see him coming at all. Well we tried the evasive answers but eventually told him what we were doing, but I don't think he really understood as his english wasn't good. He left and we rehid the cache very thoroughly, as it was before. Took a lizard with a fly on his tongue and left a lion and a small car.
Thanks very much Team Uneven etc.

This was the last cache we found on our trip from Adelaide to Melbourne on the Great Ocean Rd. Took a candle and left a Mondo Doll. Thanks for this one.

After reaching the GZ we understood the hint provided and after a short search the cache was found.
Very few muggles around but I wouldn’t attempt this on a warm day.
Many thanks Team Uneven Distribution for the cache it was a nice walk, and the coordinates were spot on.

Some gardening gloves would have been good but the scratches will heal in time. Nice park. TNLN Thanks

Greg and Bev

Easy find Thanks! Swapped a Lilo doll for a Dragon.

Visiting the area during the Avalon Airshow, and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get in a little interstate caching This one was a nice easy start. Not a soul around. Swapped a small carabina for a Daydreamer Dragon. Thanks guys

Found very quickly - a nice easy one. I meant to leave a travel bug, but forgot . Thanks Team Uneven Distribution.

Found at 12:10 with Shimachic.

An easy find after being prickled a few times!

Took : Racing Car
Left : Dragonfly

Found at 1:50pm on the way to a niece's birthday party. A fairly easy find once the typographical error was removed from the GPSr coordinates!

took aboriginal figure
left chameleon

thanks Team_uneven_distribution

On a high after "deleting" a nearby DNF from my list, off I trekked for this one. I walked straight up to the cache at 13:35 and scratched myself silly retrieving it (ouch!!!). (I'll have to ask my cryptic gurus what the first part of the clue means once they've done the cache.)

Took a koala, left a sticky gecko. Thanks Team Uneven Distribution and a Happy New Year to you all.

[This entry was edited by EuDes on Thursday, December 30, 2004 at 1:31:40 PM.]

Found at 5:00pm. The fifth of eleven finds on our tour of Lara and Geelong. Another part of Geelong that we hadn't seen before.

Thanks T.E.M. from D,H,K,H & A B-A. Took a Stretchy Lizard. Left Mini Grater.

My 4ht of 6 caches for the day, cache was found at 510pm by Muzza. I swapped in a koala and out an albino Frog. A nice quick find thats what I like.

Found at 5:10 with Kiwideb on a quick Geelong dash and grab. This one was a nice easy find with few possibilities where it could be hidden. No swap was made. Thanks T.U.D. for a quick, not too hard cache.

The third on last of the caches found on a quick expedition round the area, on our way back to Melbourne from Barwon Heads. Great weather, the park had a few people wandering around. Cache hiding spot was found easily, swapped out the toad TB, and swapped in a paper clippings cutter.

Found at 18:08hrs
What a lovely day today was.. too bad I was working, but work put me in Corio today, so i figured after work I would cache my way home. I was a bit concerned about the crowd at the skate/bike ramps, but the cache proved to be out of sight from the louts.
I didn't need the clue, but when i looked at the clue it confused me. Is that really a [wattle tree]?? I thought it was more like a [pine tree]

Out: a dog chew toy
In: carabiner and [url=http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=12700]Emma's Texas Toad[/url]

Thanks.

Found it @ approx. 19:20

My third find for the day!
I don't know about the water, but I certainly got on the wrong side of the railway tracks to start with. A fairly easy find, once your in the right location.

TNLN

Thanks Team Uneven Distribution.

Caching around Geelong with barcoder. This is the Emu Mob's first Team Uneven Distribution cache. It was a nice easy find, once we got close. We found it at 0935. However, finding it was one thing; retrieving it was quite another! Barcoder's arms weren't long enough, so dak had to do the honours. Thanks for the cache TUD.

IN: Mondo figure
OUT: Toy car

In Geelong with dak's Emu Mob. This is our first Team Uneven Distribution cache. It was a nice easy find too. We picked the right side of the water. Had to wait for a jogging 'muggle' with a dog once we were there though. Found it, but dak had to do the reaching as my 'delicate' arms were just not long enough. Thanks for the cache TUD. My first solo in Geelong. Last time I was here, I was involved in the Geelong Cacheopoly as Emu-J.[^]

IN: Two suction hooks
OUT: Role of black tape

Located at 17:25 with Private Ryan.
Good name for the cache! [^]
Thought we'd help Claudia the Kiwi TB move on (that's twice its been here!) - Maybe move on up to the Riverina (Northwestern Victoria)

Took: Flasher
Left: Dinosaur Baby

Thanks Uneven Distribution!

Found it at 17:25 with suitman

Suitman and i started at the cpark and took a wrong turn ending up on the wrong side but we found a place were we could cross and suitman almost fell in but he didn't. When we found it we had to wait for the muggles to walk their doggles, found it. WE took it somewere else and -:

Took: Kiwi tb, Flashing(safety)thing

Left: Baby dinosaur.

Then their was a motobike .... that took 5 min then placed it back( by the way great hidding spot.) and took off.

Thanks for a great one ______ Private ryan
