400 find logs and 11 years later it's time to wave this little sistema goodbye. Pretty good run for some expanding foam filler and a small plastic container. Still, time to move onwards and upwards.

Thought I'd do a quick stop and grab on the way back to Stawell. Took a good 15mins to track it down as it's quite cleverly concealed. I literally stepped over it 4-5 times before I spotted it. Nice camo. TFTC
Note: Lid to cache has a crack, lid or container needs replacing, water leaking through to contents.
Cheers My GPS GZ was slightly off to the cache location but, i looked around, I happen to spy it.

Nice find. Out caching today on day off thought would go see wife in deer park and grab some caches on the way. Some nice scenery around here.
Find number 1385
Found while out caching with Snap Happy. Container was damaged
Thanks caughtatwork for placing this cache.

Haven't been out caching for 3 weeks and I am starting to get the shakes. Coming home after georig shopping I wanted to get at least one. Finally found one and with a bit of a search yay!!! Tftc
Being a nice winters day my son and I decided to spend the afternoon caching.
The bright pink pony gave to cache location away.

Found @11:21 AM #1981 On our way to Horsham for a caching long weekend OzHockeyChick and I thought we would pick up some interesting sights, some good D/T's , some placed date caches and some R&R . This was our first for the trip and an interesting story with this find.

Stopped by after a day in the big smoke. Fun slopping around in the wet grass. Last stop before going home. Tftc
Today was a busy day for the sims family. The morning and early afternoon were spent in Diggers Rest attending a wedding. We had a couple of hours to get back home, cook tea for guests who were coming over, and then head out to a fund-raising event in Geelong for the evening. Of course a cache needed to be squeezed in there somewhere as well, and this one was conveniently on our way home.
We were initially a little confused about where the cobbled road actually was. After a bit of a look around, we found a frame which looked like it had once held a sign, fairly close to a path that led into the area of protected vegetation. A quick google search at home confirmed this to be the case, and provided a little more reading, that I imagine the sign may once have done.
As it turns out, the cache was found and logged much more quickly than the path! Thanks to caughtatwork for a fun cache, and keeping a little bit of history alive for others to come and see.

Took a while to find. Navigator is about 8m out. Added a killer whale toy. Took nothing. Thanks
We searched but could not find it. I was scared of snakes and there was rubbish all over the place.
Beware of ants got bitten by a few.. Lots of rubbish and the weeds come up quite high.. No luck finding this one unfortunately
Everyone seems to find this one, but not the one on the other side of the bridge. Why?
I found it it's the first one I actually found the others my children found woo hoo go mee! Pretty damn easy
It took a few minutes of hunting before this cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. We were a little confused about the cobbled road. The rocks had been piled up and we were not sure if the stones in the road had been removed and piled or the road was higher than we had anticipated. Thanks caughtatwork for this cache.
Found it at 1230 hrs. TFTC. I would recommend some maintenance. The cache bears no resemblance to the clue. I'm guessing, but I think the original design was created by spray foam insulation extruding from a duct. The foam has dried and looks like broken chunks of uncoated Cadbury Crunchie bar. Log has 3(?) small pages left.
Found easily by geohubby on a late afternoon celebrating 711 finds eating donuts bout at 711
This cache was a reasonably quick and easy find on our way to Ballarat, but the camo is pretty well knackered now. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
12:47, 25 November 2015. #286. This little fester has been nagging at me for a while now. I can't remember whether I've visited two or three times before (DNF logged December last year) and had issues that stopped me finding it. Then there's the passing the site fairly often but not being able to stop for a proper hunt.
The jinx was over today on a hot windy Wednesday. Wasn't anywhere near where my iPhone had pointed me previously and took me no time flat to find today. The camo has deteriorated a bit (no, a lot) and the log was slightly damp but not too wet to sign.

Found with many thanks today
The rock wall is looking very diminished down the cache hide end: future hunters please note you DO NOT need to remove rocks in the wall.
An area that I, and thousands of others, pass regularly.

Clever hide ~ weather seems to have got in and log books were quite soggy, may require some airing out/maintenance ~TFTC
Two lots of eyes couldn't find this one. We'll come back and try another day.
Rockbank 2nd night
This was the last cache of the day, after a tiki tour of the area. What happened to the cheap nursery that is now closed down.
Thanks for placing this cache caughtatwork

Gps bouncing all over the place, but eventually found. Log very wet, but managed to sign it! TFTC
Found with Mrs Blue Duck. Container cracked and logs pretty damp. We dried it out a little and put everything back pretty well. Thought I would be looking for a bigger pile of poop.
MrsBlackDuck made the find. The container is slightly cracked and logs are wet. Did our best to dry and make the best of the container. TFTC!
Found on my second try for this one. Pretty damp but still able to log find tftc.
Found this today with Posho6. Cords a little off but not too bad. Judging on previous comments, the previous camo is cactus but still well hidden. Lid is cracked, also, so log a little damp.
TFTC!!!
TFTC!!!
It's still there people. It's slightly off the mark, and a little tricky. Log books are a bit wet.
We think the site has been cleaned of rubbish (along with cache). Had a good look around but could not be found. Sign with info about cobbled road is missing from frame.
My first time trying to find one but got attacked by ants and Girls screaming they saw a snake. Will try again when I'm on my own
Paid this one a visit a bit before mid-day today. Only spent about five minutes hunting, as the GPS was all over the place like a mad dog's breakfast and what should have been ground zero looked like it had been disturbed big time. Looked like a heap of rubbish and soil had been dumped and pushed around.
Maybe another day.
Maybe another day.
In the dark was able to collect this cache. Nice hide in the cobbled road. TFTC caughtatwork.
It was a good day for geocaching,with CLOGWOG,and thanx for hiding the cache. TNLN!!!!
Found it without the gps cos the coordinates are too confusing. It 'rocks' when you can find it regardless .
Have driven past here many times before on trips to Melbourne, but never knew this old piece of cobbled road was here. No info sign anymore, but it was great to see this piece of history. Cache found fairly quickly. As previously noted, logbook is a bit wet but signable. TFTC caughtatwork
Found with purplecat bit of water damage as she mentioned but all and all still a great hide gps was off by a little bit but still found without any troubles
Everything is very wet and pencil blunt, next person bring a pencil sharpener. Looks like poo, yuk.
