Logs for Razz'l'Dazz'n'Co 

Found today in the company of the Co, on a plesant if cool afternoon. After lunch with the ducks the cache was found and a few small swaps were made. TFTC. 

Found on our way home from Nelson, great view. TNLN TFTC. 

A tricky little one. I wonder how long since a bus stopped by here. We walked up the hill from town without reading the cache description and we didn't take a pen to sign the log, only after we walked past it to the top did we realise we could have drove. Ah well, we would have missed the best part. TFTC and the history. 

Our last cache on our way back to Horsham and home, a pleasant break in the drive. A few small swaps made and the TB collected to move him along. TFTC. 

Found this one late in the afternoon, unfortunately the lid of the container is broken and the log wet through. We didn't have any thing with us to repair the damage and the log to wet to sign. TFTC and the river views. 

Found this one on our way back to Nelson after visiting the cave. TNLN but thanks for the view. 

Found this one on our first day in Nelson, had fun on the walk thought the 10 month old baby we were carrying was very heavy at the end of it. A few small swaps were made by the Co and a photo taken and we were off. TFTC. 

Thanks for your effort wozza1958. We will try to visit in the coming weeks. 

Our third cache today and then a picnic in the park, time has run short so it off homeward again. The Co has made two swaps and had a lot off fun. TFTC. 

Well we have broken our drought - months without a cache, and finally a opportunity arose. A top idea for a cache and a good view. TFTC. 

Due to recent logs of this cache I have enabled it again. Due to a change in employment we have been struggling to get down there. We will try to do so in the next few weeks and adjust the clues. Thanks for the logs. 

After recent ongoing rains in the Grampians thing have been changing more to what the Grampians were. The lake is filling and 'field of bells' was about to swim, because of this we relocated it on behalf of sandar10 this afternoon. The new cords are S 37 12.094, E 142 32.742. Enjoy the 'new' views. 

We enjoyed an afternoon of exploring in the area, and had a great time with this cache. A pretty impressive thunderstorm was in action to the south east with a full rainbow over the plains and sunlight on the lakes to the north, green crops all around. It truely is a splendid view. A few small swaps were made and then we ran for Horsham in the gathering dusk. TFTC and the fun time. 

Well we got it today! We don't know how we missed it the last time for we were right on top of it and searched for 30mins +, today we had it in about 30 seconds. We took the time to explore a little and marvelled at the water in the lake. Reading the previous logs we can only say thank goodness they didn't visit in March when there was only a very small puddle in the middle, the rest being mud flats. T: Nemo L: Eraser and Geo Coin. TFTC. 

Found this one at last. We have made several attempts and each one has been interrupted somehow, however today we made it. We had fun searching this one out an in the process we discovered a few things about our own town we didn't know. Thanks Team Crackers for a fun cache. 

We obviously need to find out what's happening and up-date this one. Thanks carrots3 for pointing it out to us. We will make the run in 2 weeks time. 

Found this afternoon on a Sunday drive with the family. Sad to see the old country locations disappearing, I guess it is call progress, but I wonder. A few small swaps made after an easy find. Dropped in a Geocoin for a short stay. 

Found this afternoon on a Sunday drive with the family. We picked up a cow and a couple of non-animals, left a turtle and a couple of cobs of corn to keep the animals up to weight until sale day. Thanks for a fun cache. 

Our 3rd and last cache for our afternoon out. Found easily and then a look at the animals was in order, and finished on the playground for the Co. We had been here before but always good to come back for a cache. Thanks. 

Found on our way home from a family do, and just before a spot of lunch. GPS had us looking a few metres away at first but after walking away and back again it was spot on. A great little hide, a few small swaps made and Scorpion TB left, and we were on our way again. TFTC and the fun the kids had. 

As I was logging some other caches last night I saw this one. We needed to go to town today so made this one a priority. A good hide for a highway break. Collected the coin to pass along on our weekend in Bendigo coming, and left a few small trades for the geo-kids. TFTC. 

Our second find of the afternoon on our way down the Victoria Valley. A hidden little spot that is so easy to drive by without a reason to call in. TFTC. T: frog L: eraser. 

Well this was the last of our three planed caches for this afternoon. We have been going to have a go at this cache for a couple of months now, but every time we planed to go it rained, at least it seemed that way. Well we went in a little different I think, going lower and then having to work our way back up, a bit of a scramble in spots but it proved a lot clearer than the way we took out. After working our way up through the rocks the cache was found by the Co, GPS reading within the meter of where the cache was meant to be, spot on. Well the yarn was read, the log read and a photo taken, and the Co had spotted the multi-tool. He wanted it right or wrong and we had nothing of equal value to swap, so we left all we had and I will make sure we take something extra into Ripping Yarns 2 in the near future.
TFTC demath, a good hide the equal of what I am coming to expect of you, you must have done some exploring around these hills over time. 

Well we have finally done it and went for an afternoon of caching around home. This was the first of three planed and a good hide, what made you think of looking in there? T: a mini tape L: eraser. TFTC DEMATH. 

Well this one was a quick find today, the cache was out in the open the lid still broken and now with some water, but, remarkable still in good condition. It certainly is an interesting spot, amazing to see how time changes everything. I will be going past again in a few days time and will endeavor to replace the container. TFTC. TNLN. 

Found the first waypoint and mused for a while over places and names, though like others I couldn't find all the information and wondered if there wasn't something I should have researched before. After a while, like others I took an educated guess and found the bridge mentioned only for a guy to bring along a flock of sheep he was trying to get over, so rather than stand in his road like a dummy I decided to return for a proper look over the area in a few days time. 

Hay I loved this one, wish the Co were with me but they were at school. This is a great cache slightly given away by some shinny metal that shouldn't be there, which made it and easy find today though I stood and walked around admiring the object for a while, you don't find them this complete mostly. Anyway once found it took a while to encourage the cache out of its spot and even longer to get the begger open, but this is one cache well worth the detour. TNLN. thanks for a great, well thought out, and even better made, cache. 

Well no walking in the river bed today, thank goodness there is now some water even if it is shallow. It is just does so much more for the sprit to be able to see some water. This was a nice pleasant cache that was found almost to quickly by the middle Co before the rest of us even go set, he was trilled. TFTC in this spot that we hadn't visited exactly before. 

This is my second attack on this one, last time it seemed to have been muggled, but today it was there, and easy find. It seems that Team GraMon has some bad luck with this. Thanks for the cache and the effort in researching, and thanks for the prompt maintenance. TNLN. 

On my way home to Halls Gap and would you believe I had never driven this way before, well this cache was a tempting break in the drive and in a few minuets the cache was in hand. I must return and explore some more, it look like a great old town. TFTC TNLN. 

A quick fined and one the kids spotted from the car due to the name. They were most excited. A quick snatch and go as it was raining. TFTC. 

Well we found this one in a break in the rain on our way to Mt Gambier. A nice pleasant spot for a break in the drive and for the Co to stretch their legs. There was no writing instrument in the cache so we left a pencil for those who come next. TFTC and the information on this interesting place, 

Sorry. We were hoping to make it here to get to know a few cachers better, unfortunately family commitments say no. 

A short break on our trip homeward had this cache found. A quite and secluded spot not far from the crash and thunder of modern life. Thanks for the break and the cache. 

A quick fine to break our homeward journey this afternoon, Just put our family friends and caching partners the Dragonfreys on the plane for their return to Canada as their stay here is over. This one was found with some sadness and the setting seemed almost to fit our feelings. TFTC. 

This one was found after a short search of GZ. Our final cache with our friends the Dragonfreys, although we hope to join them for some caching in Canada someday. TFTC in this most interesting of spots, mostly bypassed and really appreciated. The log is full and unfortunately I didn't have a spare, I apologize.

 

A quick drive by find for us today to break our trip to Melbourne to put our friends the Dragonfreys on the plane for the first leg of their journey home to Canada, we are surely going to miss them all. A good hide in a place that in better times must be a great spot, at the moment it is little more than a mud flat, a sad picture of the struggle our fine land is having in the grip of drought. Some small swaps were made. TFTC. The log is full and unfortunately I didn't have a spare, I apologize. 

Dropped of TB's. 

Found again as a team with the Dragonfreys. It was a great afternoon for a walk, with fantastic views and good company. We enjoyed the hike up and back with the afternoon nearing its end by the time we returned. TFTC in this fantastic spot. We greatly enjoyed it.
PS. the lid of the cache has a crack in it and will not be waterproof for the wetter months ahead - hopefully.

Well we climbed right by this one several weeks ago before we read the clue and decided we weren't going down again on our way to Grampians Secrets 4. We returned today with wives and families (5 kids between 5 & to explore the 'wind tunnel'. We left the families to the cave while Sean scampered off to find the cache - I came hesitantly behind like a dog who won't lead - Sean found the prize only to find no pen or pencil!! Off I went back to collect one while leaving Sean perched like a eagle on the edge of nothing. Cache now has a resident pen. Like its brother we found several weeks ago, this one would not have been retrieved if it was reliant on me to make the final grab, I don't like the 'edge of nothing' how be it, the view was fantastic. TNLNSL TFTC. 

Time to be put to bed. Was fun while it lasted. 

Call by today to check on condition and am glad to report all is well. Dropped in TB while there. 

Called by today on our walk over the hill to drop in a Geocoin. Ended up taking one out as well and one of the Co swapped a gel pen for a badge. We also left a new sealable bag for the log. Cache is in fine condition other than a couple of small holes in the lid. Great cache. 

Getting close, 1 off our 100, excitement is mounting. TFTC in what is a great forest for this area. 

A quick find and a few photos taken with the Dragonfreys. TFTC. 

Came in for the 3 caches on offer with the Dragonfreys today and had a great time climbing on the rocks around the cache. An interesting spot and I can see what is meant about the wet weather. TFTC. 

This is it!! We have done it!! Number 8 for the day and our first hundred reached, yippee!!! Found in the company of our good friends, Dragonfreys. This was a fitting cache for our 100th with heavy to story, GPS's jumping all over and a jolly pretty place to be in. A forest as I haven't seen any were else in north western Vic. TFTC 

Our last find of the day. 9th one and the evening is drawing late, a fitting cache to end with as we looked of to the west and the distant Grampians, our home. Thanks for bringing us to this fantastic vista and I plan to return on day for the morning sun on the plains below the Grampians. TFTC. 

Our 3rd find today in the company of the Dragonfreys. TFTC in this place we often drive by but have never visited.
