RDMC # 12 Bunyip, Victoria, Australia

This cache has been muggled again.

This area is just too popular now.

Found on possibly my fourth attempt. Don't know why it took so long really. Great ride on a really sweet day. Met some other cyclists on the road which is a pleasant surprise out here. Thanks for the cache and for the incentive to get me off my bum.

Again, we searched for quite a while for this one and were unable to locate it. Broken glass was a bit of a put-off also. We'll try again next time.

Nice easy one - TFTC

.

My 3rd DNF in a row... now I am really unhappy .

I must have almost missed this one in my quick skim, as ADV found it where I had missed looking. Cheers Gav [2974]

Good thing I check rediguana's work there it was.
TFTC

Found this one with Moneydork, Tofska , Rediguana and ADV during our Australian caching holiday.

Team GPS.org.nz Cache Raid: i wouldn't have minded if it rained while searching in here. T4TC, M@

ALREADY LOGGED - I did this one in June 2006

I had tried this one a while ago, but it proved not to be there. Today, it was an easy find. The town was strangely quiet (fortunately) for a Saturday morning. It made for an easy search.
Thanks, Robmc.

After spending a bit of time and money at the Sunday Market at Langwarry we stopped here for a second try at this cache. Geojen found it quite quickly and easily.
Thanks

Had another go at this but felt a bit conspicuous with all the activity over the road. Maybe trying out of business hours is the go.
Thanks, C

This cache is alive and well and waiting to be located.

All good now.

We will call by this cache soon and check if it is OK.

Was using an old sheet so didn't know this one had gone missing. At least I will know where to look when it gets replaced. Thanks

Thought I'd save others hunting this one at the moment - on talking to the owner it seems this one has been muggled.

Failed on this one but as we had a long way to go we didn't want to waste too much time searching.
Next time perhaps.

Find # 1518 and 4th for the day at 8:25am. Accompanied by Feathertop on our far east expedition. Easy find, TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Team_Diesel....

One of our group had wasted 2 hours on separate occasions looking for this cache...and we rock up in total darkness and find it in under a minute. The girl in the pizza joint perked up when we parked in front of their store but we weren't there to get pizza...but it was very tempting...she was very attractive! . Might have to come back when the other RDMC comes back online.

It is amazing what a fresh look can do as we all know! With new thoughts different approaches were taken and the hide soon found in its surprisingly accessible spot. Thanks Team_Diezel for the cache.

Had had 2 previous attempts at this and always checked much harder spots than were needed.Got all but one in the series now.thanks to Team_Deisel.

found 4pm great timing no muggles

Update of name to reflect finders from ambo412 to geojames4

Found by Ambo412 and family during a spare few leisurely Sunday hours. Enjoyed the nearby shops. Thanks.

Found today after a short search on our way home from Drouin

We visited this cache today and are pleased to report all is well.

This one was thankfully muggle free for a change and a short search revealed cache. thanks team diesel.

4th of 9 for the day.

We'd already failed with RDMC #10 & #11 today. We agreed that if we saw the structure we both now dreaded here, then, we'd just keep driving .

Thankfully, that's not what we found & had the cache in hand fairly quickly.

Thanks Team_Diesel.

Found on 10/11/06 @ 1518 AEDT. Third of 22 finds for the weekend with Facitman. Despite a few muggles on the other side of the road, the cache was rapidly detached from its hiding place by Facitman

TNLN

Cheers Team Diesel

Found by Facitman at 15:17

Quick find for our third of the day as Rhinogeo and I headed for Walhalla.

Thanks Team_Diesel

Found at 1:30pm while on lunchbreak. We were working (surveying) not far from here, so I thought we'd give this one a try. Accompanied by my workmate Powza. We pretended that we were actually surveying by measuring some 'stuff' near GZ with a tape measure so as not to look like we were on the hunt for a stash! This was the 2nd of 5 RDMC's we found by the end of the day. SL TFTC!

Found on the way home from melb @1122
Stopped to ponder where it could be and found myself on top of it.
Thanks

Fourth RDMC cache today. No luck here. A few too many people about to be able to search for too long.

Final cache for the day.
This is the last day of our 4 days caching in this area (we might manage one or two tomorrow if trafic conditions to the airport are good). So far we've done 95 caches on this trip seen 2 wild kangaroos and 3 wild deer.
I did 7 on a previous (work related) trip to Aussie so have now done over 100 caches in Australia as of today.
Thanks for helping to make our trip a success. It was great having some predictable caches after our PDA failed earlier in the day.

Day 3 of The Swaggies & Romax’ Caching weekend saw us pickup this little one on our way to Gippsland for the day.

TNLNSL

Thanks to Team Diesel.

10.30am
Found by Roma and Max together with The Swaggies.
Another cleverly hidden micro, but the co-ordinates were spot on, and we soon had it in hand.

Thanks Team Diesel,
from Romax.

I LIKE THESE SMALL ONES

GOOD BUT HARD BECAUSE IT WAS DARK

this took us a bit as well but got it in the end well hidden

Found by edmil & maddie. While waiting for RDMC 11 to clear we came for this one. maddie had it in hand in no time. Thanks for a quick one.

Another quick find for the day at 11:26, then off over the road for a bite to eat.
Thanks.

This cache has been replaced and should be an easy find for all.

A recent check of this cache shows that it has gone.

A replacement cache will be placed soon.

we hunted and hunted, and turned up empty handed for this one

This cache haven't been found as yet after spent 20 mintues looking everywhere you can think of the places. Believed it was missed and removed by the muggles. Thanks for the hunt.

Found at 2.30pm GAFF1. With the exposed nature of this cache, I was pleased to have found it straight away and not draw any attention to myself from the many people around.
Thanks Team_Diesel.

Found at 7:30pm. Tenth and final of ten finds on our way home from Warragul and Noojee. Ah, that's more like it. Only a couple of minutes search required here. Thanks Team Diesel from D,H,S & A B-A.

Fourteenth of 16 far Eastern caches for the day. I had logged 13 caches down on the Bass coast, but there was still some light left, so I headed to Garfield. I spent a fair while checking places that I wouldn't hide a cache. Then I checked the only other possibility, and my eyes finally lighted on the cache at 1725. Fortunately, there were not many people about. Thanks to Team_Diesel for the cache.

3rd RDMC on the way home. cold wet sunday afternoon the only happening place in Garfield was the Iona Hotel

This was almost too easy to find.

With a quick find nearby, a bit of time left and the caching MO determined, I thought I'd try for this one. I parked on the wrong side of the line with no obvious traverse for a motorised vehicle and walked to GZ. A five minute search revealed the cache and at 9:15, I was logging my second find for the morning.

I too felt a tad self-conscious in retrieving and rehiding the cache. I wonder what the shop people think of all the business across the street!!!

TNLN. Milko TB had his second stop for the morning but moved on again.

Thanks Team_Diesel.

Found by caughtatwork at 10:11
Oooooooh. Lots of opportunities to get spotted at this location. Taking my official notepad along with me, I hope I looked like I was 'surveying' something. Didn't attract attention, although I can't tell if those inside the shop could see me as I couldn't see them.
About 5 minutes of trying to look without looking like I was looking and the cache was in hand.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Team_Diesel. This is not a town I have ever visited before and now I'm going to have been here twice.

This was my fourth of six RDMC caches for the day. Although it wasn't a particularly difficult to find cache, I had to take my time so as not to look suspicious. It was around school finishing time and the area, while not overrun with muggles, had its fair share of passersby. I bought a drink across the road and basked in the sunshine as I slowly circled the structure until the cache was found. After a short wait, I was able to retrieve it, make my log, and then replace it. Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1745. Can't get away from these muggles. Some were parked at the shops, others just cruising the street with their car stereo on full blast - at least we knew where they were. In between their passes we searched around until David spotted something. Success. Our thanks once more to Team Diesel.

Found 16:00, after initially suspecting this cache may have gone MIA [B)]

TNLN, thanks Team_Diesel.

Found at 8.30PM 4th out of 5 found for the night..

We had inially come past this spot 2 times before this attempt but found the same bunch of muggles sitting not so far from GZ, so we had to go toother caches first. When coming back we drove along the road slowly to see that the muggles were still here.. hmmm thats about 1.5 hours... But then a car rolled up and they both left. So I parked nearby and got out for the search. While S.B-A sat in the car watching out for muggles and giving me signs when muggles were closeby.. This one was hell.. There was a muggle over the road deciding to stop by for a casual smoke, and many people on foot. So I had to sit there with my fingers going around all the hidy spots while they wernt looking my way. Finally the shop over the road closed up and I had my chance to go for a good hunt. And found a few minutes after.. Thanks from M.B and S.B-A..

this was another hit and run, i wish i had more time to look around the shops, but had to be back in bayswater by 16:30 and time was runing out fast, with 3 more to go while i was in the area.
thanks.

Found with Sikma at 15:49. Going after the series of RDMC's.
Thanks Team_Diesel

Found with Loonster at 13:32. Going after the series of 12 RDMC's.
Busy spot today.
Thanks Team_Diesel

Found this one at 5.15pm on way back from Traralgon, another great set of cache's, thanks Team Diesel

This is where our luck run out. Searched for over half an hour but with no luck and then headed off to do the others and had just headed back to have another try when the phone rang and it was Mr Coffee on the line looking for a confidence boost on No 8, He soon had that in hand and the Coffee Cavalry was on it’s way to help us and help they did as he had the cache in hand within ten minutes of arriving spoiling our record making 11 out of 12 FTF’s in this series
Thanks Team Diesel for an enjoyable evening’s caching

Mr.Coffee and youngest member of the Coffee Clan Luke, went out in search of this cache this evening
While at RMDC8 we called the Team Crackers hot-line to see if they had finished the latest set, only to discoverthey were at No12 and still searching.
Hmm through the devious Coffee mind, A FTF up for grabs, will we use cacher etiquette and let them find it on their own and arrive after letting Team Crackers bath in the glory of another FTF, or will we lock in the hubs and crossover country roads, hills, valleys and fording rivers wider than Snowy to get there in time before they find it?.
The later wins.
A quick trip across the highway and we joined in the hunt to find the elusive cache.
After five minutes of a grueling search, sweat pouring from pressure, GPS shaking in my hand, eyesight dwindling,
low level light on my coffee cup on, it was the Coffee Clan who shouted found it.
Thanks Team Diesel for the Cache and the FTF, it was hard but somebody had to do it, Thanks Team Crackers without
your help on ocassions (lots) we would be getting home a lot later.
TNLN
Regards
Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan.
