Advance Australia Fair North Bendigo, Victoria, Australia
By The Morris & Romax on 25-Jan-06. Waypoint GCT5BK

Found Last year and finally adding it to my profile list

Found the location and container, even though was told cache no longer existsed, however cache was still written in my GPS

So long and thanks for all the finds. Now there are 3 others in the vicinity this one can be laid to rest. Big thanks to Romax for all the maintenance visits.

Find # 539 @ 14:30 and the 11th for the day on the Bendigo area caching tour.
This cache has been in the GPSr since 29th of August and GSAK apparently did not overwrite it with the latest info and logs.
I didn't realise it was tempoarily out of action. I had no idea the log was missing until I found the stuck fast container.
TNLN

(Didn't realise this was offline when I left Canberra)

Anyways, found cache container easily - the nest is EMPTY (No log book within).

Thanks for the NICE walk and nice area.

Has been tampered with

Found at 1030 on a cold and windy day. There were still plenty of muggles about despite the cold. Thanks The Morris & Romax.

Nice hide and the the high muggle challenge as well.
Found quickly but putting it back took longer then expected with all those people walking past.
Thank you and well done on the hide.

Easy found TFTC

It was a lovely winter day in Bendigo today - sunshine and chilly and the perfect day for a walk. We have been thinking that we should rename our team, 'Taking the Long way round' as we seem to go the long way every time - luckily today it was a nice day for a wander. Plenty of other people had the same idea and it seems every muggle and his dog was there, but we managed to find a break in the crowd and the cache was soon discovered.

Thanks for the new log Romax - much appreciated.

Replaced log scroll in a zip lock bag

Decided to look for this one on our way to get the clues for "How Well Do You Follow Directions In Bendigo".

Found it quickly but unfortunatly the log was very wet and we were unable to un ravel it to log our visit.

Did not have anything with us to replace the log.

found after a long search. Found it as we were leaving.

found after a long search. found as we were leaving.

Muggle traffic was quite high today, so had to take it easy. Eventually there was a gap in the traffic and we made the grab, only to find the cache rather saturated. After carefully witting in the damp log the cache was sealed and returned to it's place.

No swaps. Thanks for the cache.

Tricky to get to in such a busy location... at any time of day or night!

Found @ 15:45 The GeoMrs found this one while I was still getting out my Palm from the bag on my bike. The park looked great today and great to see so many people using it.
Thanks for bringing us here. SL

Found this with Hanseeka Kaztreka and Zarzeeky.
A cold rainy day in Bendigo but what a day for Geocaching.

TFTC and my 40th find.

The main challenge with this cache is to retrieve it between muggles. A popular location gratefully added to our list of places to return to.

Thanks for your cache today on Phil(Bogonghazy) and Ian's(vk3jap) Bendigo caching trip.

We had a most enjoyable day.

Nice easy find on a caching tour to Bendigo with vk3-jap. Thanks FTC. TNLNSL

Tooks the geo-kids to play at the park on the opposite side of the lake to GZ and couldn't resist this one. Haven't seen this type of hide before, good one. TNLNSL TFTC

Very excited to be the first on a new log sheet. Always seem to be the last on the old one lately.

back on line so can log our find.Once again out with the crazy creels to find this one christened the new GPS
Hard to do with so many muggles around.

YAY!! Got ourselves a GPS today WOOHOO. Went out tonight with Team Boofa and Crazy Creel No2 found the cache almost straight away. Very sticky and the log is full so we turned it over and started on the back.
Thanks The Morris...YOU ROCK!
~ Crazy Creels.

Replaced Log scroll, pen and left a new container.

I barely noticed this cache in it's hiding spot, it continues to amaze me the places people have found to put these.

Nice place for a cache.. Looked a bit suspicious.. Lots of mugglers walking by.

Found By Garrottor

This was a nice find. Thanks for the cache. TNLN.

Took a good long look for this one but it would not be revealled today. Nice area, thanks for bringing us here.

Looked for this one for quite a while in the company of the Dragonfreys without luck, well maybe another time.

This one was very tricky. I looked but couldnt see it, even when SuperJaz told me where it was.

Found with SuperJaz and Bewilderbeest on our Bendigo holiday.

Thank you thank you!!!

Oh what a clever hide. Had us turning in circles for some time before I chanced upon it. TFTC

Well, I had no idea where it was hidden. Luckily we had Superjaz with us! Very well hidden (a familiar statement for Bendigo!!!), and a nice park, too.

Thanks to The Morris & Romax

With my families help, it was found fairly quickly. We enjoyed a nice ice-cream while we filled out the log.

Found at 4.35pm

I mustn't have adjusted back in to the victorian's way of hiding after being in the territory for the past year. Both mrs gp and i had no luck finding the cache. Reccon i know the style but too many muggles to do a realy goood through search. Will have to return at a later to see if my susspition is correct.

I've had a quick look for this one on a previous occasion, but to no avail. (Back in the dark ages of my first few cache finds I was using a very antiquated GPSr with very poor accuracy.)

This time it was a flying visit to Bendigo for an appointment, with just a few minutes spare on the way home. Didn't have any cache details or even a GPSr with me, just previous knowledge of the approximate whereabouts.

The Wench and I parked and took the short walk to about GZ. Had a brief look at a nearby structure, then moved on to what turned out to be GZ. Suprisingly, the hide was discovered after a very short search. No muggles around. Also surprising considering it was around 4.30 on a weekday afternoon.

Thanks The Morris and Romax for your combined efforts and a clever hide.

Found by pocketrocket&friends on 3/10/08 at 11.40am
This was a little challenging to find!
Eventually, I said to geodad, "is that it?" and he replied with a thankful yes.
Signed log and we were on our way.
Great hide, thanks!

DNF 200809151045 . I had a brief look for this cache on the day it was listed ... but it didn't seem to be there [B)]. Today my attempt was stymied by an infestation of muggle contractors working RIGHT AT GZ [:o]

Not much to say, although a very popular spot, not too many muggles out and about today.

Wow - that's subtle. Great hide in a scenic area. We felt pretty good when we found this as I could have imagined missing it.

Thanks The Morris & Romax

Found at 1:54pm

A great little hide! Would never have expected it to be there!

Thanks for the cache

8D This is a great hide. Very clever. Second one for the afternoon. Lots of muggles round so whole family stood round trying to look like we were just out for an afternoon walk.

Spotted during the day previously. Retrieved and logged at night. Thanks.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1500 with Team Ladava.Busy spot today and thanks to the walker going past with his daughter on her pushbike,that made comment that there were too many Muggles for this one.A very clever hide so Tnx to The Morris and Romax.

Found by Team Ladava with baby&Mrs gopher on their Sunbury and beyond sojourn.
A very cunning hide on a lovely Easter Saturday in Bendigo with people everywhere.
Our thanks to The Morris & Romax

lovely day for a walk, on the easter weekend.

One of the largest micros I have seen, but this was far from the easiest to find.

Lap 1 (1400m) DNF
Lap 2 (2800m) Found it but couldn't retrieve it
Lap 3 (4200m) Returned with required extraction implement.

A great hide, but the sap sucking insects infesting it aren't sucking enough sap!

Found quickly after taking geo-daughter to work. Replacing it was made tricky by numerous muggles. TFTH

Short walk in the park to find the cache, tricky hide, covered in gum so was a bit sticky. Thanks for the cache

Very clever hide, surprised to find at night. Thanks The Morris

Very clever hide, and found in the dark. A thoughtful camouflaging technique. Thanks for the cache The Morris

Sneaky hide. GPS right on. Beautiful spot...many Bendies enjoying the wonderful site...great way to take a lunch hour walk. Thanks again for getting us to another lovely spot
Romax and The Morris.

Found late on a lovely evening. Having seen something similair to this before, the cache was quickly located. Thanks!

Found at 1730. Great hide. Had to time this one in between the muggle appearances.

SL. TFTC.

We found this one after looking,looking, looking and with a little (lots) of help from T_Reez.
Good hide kept us looking. SL. Not what we expected!!!

[166] 11.20am - with cdmark and GeoJnr - Nice little walk here and a pleasant view. We enjoyed the baby ducks as well. TFTC The Morris & Romax - Cheers

Found in the company of Max in between those walkers and joggers. I TNLNSL and then when I got back to the car I remembered I left the GPS to settle, so we had to go back to grab it before that other team turned up again to find a free GPS.
Thanks The Morris & Romax,
Roostaman.

Our second cache with GeoJnr and Mon from Team GraMon on our "What Grand Final?" Caching Day. You can't come to Bendigo and not have a crack at a cache by The Morris (and with a touch of Romax as well!). Although the weather was a little cool there were quite a few people taking advantage of the lake, and some fit little buggers to! A nice camouflaged hide that was found after a minute or two. Logged and quickly replaced in between the passing joggers and cyclists. TFTC The Morris and Romax. Cheers.

You Bendigo guys are sneeky!
None of that simple stuff.
One has to work at it to perfect ones hide.
Well done.
Not only did I have to avoid the worried glances of muggles I had to get stuck in the rain!
Downpour at 4pm...got wet.
Signed log.

Strolled round the lake after lunch and encountered what was to become an ongoing theme. People here are such busy bodies they don’t only watch they walk up and stand next to you. Found the cache quickly but could not retrieve as some people where approaching so walked over to a nearby pump to wait. Only to have the walkers walk up and stand next to us and just stare, not a word just stare.
We walked off and when they finally left it was a quick grab.

Found with fellow Wombats, Nice hide, it took us a while.

found at 14:15 location was found but it was hard to get due to consistant muggle traffic.

Found at 1415 with my fellow Wombats WW1 and WW2. What a pretty place.

YAY!!! After a few false starts! I went on a midnight Cache raid with my mates!! and we got it!! Thanks for an awesome Cache!!

Second time here and then had a friend who had to phone a friend!! Fantastic hide thanks for the cache ( the trick is to stand around with a clipboard the muggles think you look like a tree surgeon!!!)

Found it, but only after a serious nudge in the right direction. My thanks to Romax who was very helpful in steering me in the right direction for another stunning hide. I continue to be amazed by the fiendish camouflage that these Bendigo cachers come up with. TNLN

A very difficult cache for us to do today. Just muggles everywhere, coming and going all the time. It took ages to find even after calling the help line and even longer to put back because of the constant stream of muggles.
TNLNSL @ 1640 hrs.

GAFF1 for me 4/4 with Pteranodon & Bushfire, not in its original hide as part is missing, rehid to the original as best as possible. May require a visit by the owners. Thanks to The Morris and Romax.

Another GAFF5 As Tank47 sniffed this one out very quickly which was hidden very close to the origional location and as you can from the previous log of Pteranodon what we did with it.Again thanks to The Morris and Romax.

Find 4/6 with Bushfire and Tank47. Another great idea with a quick find by Tank47. TNLNSL. Thanks guys for showing us so many great hides. The cache was rehidden by Tank47 more in it's original state than what we found it.

G'day to The Morris and Romax,

This was our 2nd Morris cache find which we picked up at 5:15pm as the 8th of 10 on our flying Central Victorian Get Together Dash to Bendigo. Only our second 'easy' find so far today but made even more so as the cache site had obviously been muggled since the last find. The cache was still there though so we logged our visit, hid the cache slightly differently ro preserve its integrity and reported to the cache owners. Thanks for the cache.

Kind Regards,

D & H B-A

Found today by Mr Emu & son @ 1.30 p.m., GAFF1. The last of our "Bendigo 9" today as we have to head home to pick up our furry friends from the kennels, after this lovely long weekend.

Thanks for the cache to The Morris & Romax. You have provided quite a bit of entertainment for us this weekend...

Had one of my kids find this one.
A good hide.

A nice little walk and a quick find (Can't say that about too many of your caches ).
Thanks, Robmc.

Found this one easily enough once the GPS settled. Actually that's not quite true. Robmc found it easily while I was waiting for the GPS to settle is more accurate.
Walked into a sharp stick which got me right in the Jugular at the side of my neck. Made this cache memorable for the wrong reason really.
Still a good hide and a nice stroll as well.
Thanks to the Morris and Romax.

Hard to be conspicuous with so many muggles around! Good hidey spot however.

4stubbies minus the males went walkabout. The girls have decided they need to do GPS 101 as it took longer to get the GPS doing something they understood than to actually find the cache. Great day for a walk in the park. Lovely spot.

Easy find

Very sneaky hide. I really liked this one. Quite a few muggles out today but we managed to snag this one discretely. TFTC.

I liked this one very sneeky found with Karen

Romax has repaired the damage and its ready for Australia Day

A maintenance check revealed that the cache is in need of some repairs.

Found during a caching trip with the Farmers5. When we got to gz the problem with the hide was obvious although the cache was happily still there. We covered it up and were going to report it as soon as we got back but happily you have already seen it. Not at all sure what happened to the covering - it did not appear to be there at all. Maybe some one wanted the attachments. Thanks The Morris and Romax for the cache.

Found the cache Saturday evening and logged the bookwork .Parts of the hide location were missing ,so myself and Alansee scouted around for the missing requirements and coulnt find the "exact" piece needed.Thanks to The Morris for the clever hide spot and very traquil location for a picnic .Hopefully it can be rectified without too much of a problem for you and we did the best to make "the scene " as natural as possible.

Found it while on a Jamboree Geocaching trip with roundcircle.

Very clever. TNLN

Found when on a free day with Partic whilst attending the
Australian Scout Jamboree.

Signed the Log. Great hide in a very relaxed park.

Thanks Morris & Romax a very nicely put together cache on the way to the Scout Jamboree site TNLN SL

Found @ 5.50pm on a cool-change evening!!
The relief we all felt when the weather began to change was highlighted by finding this well constructed hide!!

This marks my 150th cache find!!!

My little 3 y/o caching mad son was rather freaked out by the nest of bugs found with the cache, but once we signed the log, we quickly rehid the cache and left!!
Thanks Morris & Romax, the standard keeps getting better!

Found @ 13:15 in the company of Dad and my son James.

After a leisurely picnic lunch at a nearby table, dad wanted a turn with the GPS. . . . . . After we aimed him at the right tree, he finally found it.

Dad is thinking about becoming a cacher, but i don't think he is quite ready for Bendigo just yet.

Thanks to the Morris for another cunning Bendigo hide.

This area was way too busy last night with Christmas Carol singers, so we decided to leave it a day. Much easier with parking & fewer muggles in the area. Quick find. TFTC.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found with Tealby. TNLN TFTC.

I'm amazed we found it, with us in view of atleast 2 muggles at a time. As I found the cache I nearly threw the cover away but dropped it when I saw that two huntsmen spiders where on it. That's when I walked away to make it look less sus when McPhan signed the log (Not to mention the spiders). Ingenius hide. TFTC

CoolAid found this, nice area, TFTC.
