RDMC # 9 Garfield, Victoria, Australia

This cache has gone like the horses before it.

Pretty much same result as previous team.

DNF Hunted for it for the second time for about half an hour lots of equine muggles around

Spent quite some time looking around with no joy - I suspect this one has gone.

We had a good look around the structure the GPS took us to, and seemed to have a good fix, but found nothing but a couple of big spiders. Reading back through the logs once we were home we're wondering if we were looking at the right structure or if we just missed it. Have to come back for another look.

Geowife Linda spotted this one, ahead of Geokids Aiden and Riley. TFTC

Found @ 12:34 with Clarks Mob on our New Year's Day jaunt TNLNSL TFTC

Found @ 12:30pm on our new years cache run with Scooters Mob.
Grandpa muggles at GZ had us using stealth mode.

After killing ourselves on the long pig cache (GC8AB7), this one was a doodle. Thanks Team Diesel That's cache #197

Found at 3:40. Good spot to hide it. But found easily.

Quick find at 700am. Log book falling apart but dry. My 3rd in this series. I am glad there not all this easy to find Thank you Team Diesel.
SL. TFTC.

Found without problem. Didn't have a pen (travelling light on a bicycle) so left an expired union card as proof that I had been there.
Thanks,

Date on logsheet incorrect - I was getting ahead of myself. Thanks to Robmc for log to help with this one. This is the last of the available RDMC's for me and with this one "I got the Mother". Thanks Team_Diesel for an interesting, albeit frustrating at times, series of caches.

Had a quick find on this one, Shelly was still able to spot it even while looking at all the beautiful horses at the park.

at last found it. a quietspot on a very pleasant day. just great for a walk in the bush! 2nd for the day as it was only on afternoon outing. Thanks TD for the clues. It's easy when you know how!

"Heavy equine muggle traffic" didn't cover it, that place was packed with teen muggles, their horse floats, their long-suffering mothers (drivers), and junior menbers of the clans.
Boy did we get some strange looks when we settled down for some tea and cake (actually Coke and Cake) on the picnic table in the middle of all this mess.
It wasn't a hard find, and we were soon on our way (after the cake, of course).
Thanks, Robmc.

We certainly encountered Equine muggles here today. Pulled up between two horse floats and pulled out a cake and a cuppa and found the cache while partaking of same. The Equine muggles must have thought we chose a funny place to stop for the said cuppa though.
Thanks

Quick find in a place i never knew existed. 5th of 16 today. Thanks TEAM_DIESEL

A nice quick find in the dark.

A nice quick find, but what Backpaqer didn't mention was that the car lights were on full bore! A nice hide thanks Team_Diesel.

found 4.35pm no muggles easy find

Update of name to reflect finders from ambo412 to geojames4

No muggles today a nice quick find for Ambo412 and family.Thanks.

We visited this cache today and note that the log has become very wet at some stage and is in need of replacement.

We will be back soon with a new log.

No muggles about but the open edge of the container was quite visible and open to the recent rain. The log is soaking wet and therefore unable to write on it, I did stamp it with the kanga stamp.

No horses today and the find presented no difficulties. TFTC

Found on 12/11/06 @ 1726 AEDT. Twentieth of 22 finds for the weekend with Facitman. No sign of muggles or horses near GZ made for a nice easy find

TNLN

Cheers Team Diesel

Found by Facitman at 17:25

Returning to Melbourne after 'A Weekend Beyond Walhalla' we were happy to find GZ fairly quiet and I was able to retrieve the cache without trouble.

TNLN

Thanks Team_Diesel

Found at 12pm while returning (with a slight detour) from working at a nearby housing estate in Garfield. Cache was spotted by my workmate Powza lying exposed on the ground several meters from the 'place' it probably came from! Luckily it was still intact with logbook. SL and replaced the cache where we thought it could only have originally been hidden. TFTC

First of several RDMC caches we tried to find today.

Another quick find.
TNLNSL.

Found at 16:15 hours by the Swaggies. We had no luck at RDMC 8 so this one made up for it. Once again Daff found it. There were no muggles or equine traffic here today, just us. It is one of many pleasant little spots in one’s own area that we did not know about until we started doing Geocaching.

TNLNSL

Thanks to Team Diesel.

Found by edmil & maddie. Nifty little hide we went for something more obvious. thanks for the RDMC Series.

I had to leave the country music going in the car while I went searching for this one.. didn't take long coz I drove all the way up to it. YEEE HAW!

A nice quick find at 12:34 in the first location I looked.
Thanks.

this has to be the quickest cache i have ever found *grin* thanks!

a secluded park but today horse riding competition in progress. All were busy and nobody noticed us grab the micro.Well hidden thanks Team_Diesel

Penny says "Don't horse around, follow your GPS"

TNLN (of course) & signed log.

Thanks Team_Diesel

This was a different story to #8. Walked straight upto it at 12.45pm GAFF1. Thanks Team_Diesel.

Found at 10:30am. First of ten finds on our way to Warragul and Noojee. A nice easy cache to start the scoreboard ticking over early. Lots of evidence of horsey type people being around somewhere but nowhere within cooee of the cache. Thanks Team Diesel from D,H,S & A B-A.

Second of six finds in my attempt to clean up the last of the RDMC caches. After washing out at "RDMC #8", I was initially dismayed to see where my GPSr pointed me. However, EuDes said in their log that they trusted their GPSr, so I decided to follow suit. I found the cleverly hidden cache at 1405. I had to use my head to retrieve the cache. I'll leave it up to future finders to work out what I mean by that. Thanks to Team_Diesel for the cache.

Another easy find. Used to come camping here as a kid.

On the way to AWG walk 42 at Mt Worth and being severely muggled at RDMC #8, I thought I'd try for this one. Drove in, had a look at a couple of likely spots, trusted Geko and voila, had the cleverly concealed cache in hand at 9:00.

TNLN. I had promised Milko TB a trip to the walk so he dropped in for a quick look but continued on his way.

Thanks Team_Diesel.

Woohoo. 4 RDMC caches for the day.
The horses were out and about a little way away, but to far away to worry me.
An excellent micro hide.
Took nothing, left nothing.
I am really enjoying this series. Thanks Team_Diesel.

Tonight we asked ourselves what do adults do after dinner that is sneaky, private, has you putting in and taking out, the apparatus requires a good set of Batteries, and you get to brag to the rest of the world about how you did it? GEOCACHING WHAT ELSE![?].
Thanks Team Diesel for another Rapid Micro, however it did take a few minutes to find after we found a torch in the back of the car.
Signed log book.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the illuminated Clan.

This turned out to be my first cache in Australia, and my only find in Victoria. Thanks much for the cache; I'm glad to see that cache hiders in Australia work in some of the same idioms that folks in the States do.

Found by Head chef on the way to work

Thanks
from chefs on the run

This was my third of six RDMC caches today, plus the quickest and closest. I could have virtually done it from the comfort of my car. Naturally, there was absolutely no-one else around. Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1805. Happy for another quick find. Not a soul about, equine or otherwise. Our thanks to Team Diesel once more.

Found at 8.00PM.. 3rd out of 5.

After failing to find both RDMC #12 and RDMC #8 we were not in luck this time. There was muggles feeding horeses nearby and every few seconds they would look our way. But once So everytime they looked away I would be digging into GZ with my fingers, hoping for no nasties. I was about to give up but I noticed that the muggles were gone, so I took out the phone torch and found the neat hiding spot..

Thanks from M.B and S.B-A.. A great little spot to hide the cache..

another great spot, this one was a look then run, nice hiding spot. Had to wait for a horse truck to move on.
Thanks.

Found with Sikma at 15:04. Going after the series of RDMC's.
Thanks Team_Diesel

Found with Loonster at 15:04. Going after the series of 12 RDMC's.
Thought something was wrong when we approached GZ but sure enough it was there
Thanks Team_Diesel

Found cache on our way to Talbotville

Found 12:00, on our way to Talbotville.

TNLN, thanks Team_Diesel.

We were scratching our heads as we got close to GZ, this one looked as though it was going to be very difficult, but the GPS led us away from the difficult area and it turned into a nice easy find. On a roll our third FTF for the evening and by now feeling more confident that there may be more to come
