A very impressive structure indeed!
Lucky it's not soft and gooey in the middle
Contents of cache unfortunately have a closer resemblance to Danish Blue
Cheers

Phew found it. Took two attempts though. Maybe I worked out the coordinates incorrectly from the clues, but a bit of wider search area this time did the trick.

TFTC
 

11th

No joy this time. Searched long and hard around GZ, found a few likely hiding spots and a works notice saying that the place is in the Victorian Heritage Register hidden in the grass, but no cache. Still, a fantastic oppurtunity to get up close to such a wonderful structure.
 

18th

This cahce bought us to another unknown area. Took some time to locate the find but Jr was happy as a train psssed by.

Found this one with tucker05 and other friends that we have introduced to caching.

Good fun this one, and a magnificent structure to place the cach by.

Enjoyed the code nature of the cache. What an inspiring structure considering when it was built. Walk to the top gave great views.
 

9th

An interesting area full of history. Ancient trees and magnificent engineering. Standing under and looking up really puts the enormity of the constructing in perspective. NINO but we did take the TB to move along. SL TFTC
 

9th

Probably our easiest find of the day, although GPS led us to the middle of a thorn bush, my ankles have the scars to prove it.

TFTC, TNLN.
 

25th

With the math's teacher Mrs GP with me this time, we worked out the correct co-ords and i still dont knwo where i went wrong! Anyways found the cache this time and very interested to feel the super cold air comming out of the hole below the cache on such a hot day... maybe i need to investigate for natural air conditioning! Thanks for this one. TNLN
Rated: for Overall Experience  

21st

Got the clues but must have made a mistake, gz was dead centre between the train tracks and there was no way i was going out there to find it with the trains wizzing by sooooo fast. Anyways will return and check out calcs.

Pretty spectacular structure - the size of those stone blocks! Found in the company of Monch's Mob - the girls left the boys to go through the long grass. We were thinking snake thoughts. Beautiful day for a visit to this area. TNLNSL TFTC.
 

25th

Had a chat with a couple of rock climbers who'd come to test their skill on the major structure; might've made 2 new converts to geocaching. Nice easy cache to find, although the GPSr's were a bit confused at GZ.

TFTC
 

7th

looked every where
 

20th

I'm a dill & have marked the Swiss TB Trophy geocoin & Australian Zoo travel bug as being in this cache. They're not. They are nearby in Enchanted Forest. I'm working on sorting this out. Sorry! Mrs Ayzeds  

20th

Mrs Ayzeds, flying solo, found this one eventually
The large bluestone & steel structure seemed to play havoc with the GPS, sending me scrambling repeatedly in spiky bushes and totally in the wrong direction. Heading back to my starting point & letting GPS settle then led me right to GZ. Then it was easily found.

Great to see this impressive beast up close.

TNLF, TFTC

 

19th

We were quite stunned by ths large construction which we had not noticed driving the other way along the highway, but it sure grabs you this way. (especially if trying to sus out a cache site). We left the TB as it want to go to the Aus open tennis and we thought taking it to SA might not be a good idea. Took a nosey lady and microwave book in able to fit it in. TFTC
 

13th

Have driven past this structure hundreds of times, but never examined it up close. It certainly is impressive, I especially enjoyed the old style of steel beams. Much different to the way things are done today!

TNLN. Thanks!
 

7th

Found at 1450. A nice short multi under a spectacular structure. My 100th multi cache.

TNLN. TFTC.
 

2nd

Wow was the first thing I said as we turned the corner. It is a pity one of the trees is no more in the park, a victim of the recent high winds? Thanks for bringing us here!
 

5th

Turned the corner and what a great surprise a huge structure I have never notice before but with good reason I have never been here before what a wonderful piece of history but hello whats this the gps tell me that this is not wp1 in fact wp1 was not far away and just as interesting wow the places and things we learn from caching Thanks for the hide TNLNSL


 

8th

What a great little spot. Didn't realise the amount of community effort that has been put into this linear park - and found a memorial that I didn't know existed. TFTC - TNLN
 

17th

Worked out gz ok and once there made the find without too much trouble. Everything is green again! and also cold on this clear winter today! TNLN Thanks to Mr Coffee and the interesting structure Clan.
 

23rd

Great little spot that you can't see from the highway. On my way back from Bendigo, and nabbed this one to break the drive. Thanks Coffee Clan. Dropped off Travel Smurf TB.
 

8th

An interesting historical edifice much liked by The Swaggies. Collected the info and proceeded to GZ. A search of the area revealed nothing so we called a friend who told us to look elsewhere. Found at 1615.
TNLNSL TFTC Mr Coffee and the Clan.

 

4th

Found by Head Chef on his way back from Bendigo for work, had to drop somebody off on the way, he was interested in Geocaching so I showed him what was involved, he is now keen to put his own one out!

TNLN

Thanks Mr Coffee and the coffee clan for the cache
 

1st

Found this one at 18:25 with Alsume while 4maal was watching on, adding just that extra touch of pressure. Thankfully, Alsume picked up the prize very quickly and saved us quite some embarrassment .

What a magnificent old structure. TNLNLS. Thanks Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan.
 

1st

Found at 1345 on April Fools day by 4 Men and a LAdy.

Our second for the day and what a breath taking view of the bridge as we approached

TNLNSL

Many Thanks to Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan
 

1st

Found with Eudes and Slacas while 4MAAL looked on and the full moon rose. A magnificent bridge and interesting bit of history.
Took Panda finger puppet
Left earphones from AVE Fast train in Spain
thanks Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan
 

18th

The bridge at this location was just amazing, I had to stop and ponder the logistics of building such a huge expanse. Thanks for this cache, I'm a sucker for all things architectural and old.

R - B
 

11th

Strange indeed some of the things, memorials, you find out in the country sometimes. Kind of makes you think along the lines of who gives a rip. No doubt had significance in the past though.
Great bridge but the additional supports look a bit jerry built. Cost constraints had a hand in that I reckon.
Thanks indeed.
 

11th

A strange out of the way spot for this bit of history, but an interesting story. Spectacular bit of bridge. I'm not quite sure what lead you here (I was expecting an old cheese shop ), but it was a good place to stop.
Thanks, Robmc.
 

14th

Found at 12.30pm.
An interesting park and a stunning structure.
Good one,
TNLN

Found at 5pm with GabGab and caughtatwork as our final cache for the day. Interesting memorial! Info was easy to find and caughtatwork soon had the cache in hand. Great spot & we loved the height of the bridge! Took Dolly, Bo Peep's sheep clone TB and will take her home to Brisbane. Left 'hand-shaped' skill game. TFTC.
 

1st

Thank you Mr. Coffee. This was a nice easy find for daddy (caughtatwork) while I was watching out for any snakes. I took the ladybirds.
 

1st

Found by caughtatwork at 5:04
A nice little restpoint and our last cache for the day.
The clues were gathered from the airconditioned comfort of the car and after a few moments the cache was found, nice and easily.
A wonderful set of stonework can be found at this location and we were fortunate enough to locate the cache in the first place we looked.
Took ladybirds, left dinosaur.
Thanks Mr.Coffee and the 'I think I hear a train coming' clan.
 

23rd

Certainly a nice rest stop area probaly few travellers know about.After the sign info ,treked to the final region and found the well hidden stash ,logged the paperwork and enjoyed the views.TNLN and thanks to the coffee clan for the rest spot and cache.
 

4th

Third for the day on our way up to Bendigo for a wedding. Found at 10.50am after collecting the clues and a short search. Shelly finally came up with the goods. Had a train pass (very quietly i might add) overhead just as we were logging the find.
Took Pen (the extra one, not the logbook one)
Left Puzzle Keyring and party popper
Thanks to the Coffee Clan for a cache in a great spot.
 

17th

Nice easy find even without writing down the bit about H. Was a bit worried about being labelled a terrorist while filling out logbook and forgot to enter my handle.

Left pen
Took aboriginal keyring
 

9th

Found on our way back from Kyneton today, great location, easy find just had to follow the geo tracks. I just love these old structures.

TFTC Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan

A nice easy find on our way to Melbourne for the weekend.

Great example of engineering.
Took Fluffy Dice (and they ARE NOT going in the car) and left lady bugs and TB Dolly who will love the grass and horses.
 

4th

Cache check on our way to Bendigo, everything fine, thank you to all the previous finders for keeping it stocked and replacing it well hidden.  

16th

3rd find of 3 for my After Church Drive
I decided to try for a 1st to find at another cache, and dropped by for this one. Missed out on the FTF, but I'm sure glad that I visited this site.
This would have to be the finest piece of engineering that I have ever seen. Magnificent!!!
Took nothing, left a Fozzy card and signed the log.
Thanks for taking me to a very fine area!!
 

8th

Found on the way back from business trip to Bendigo. Found quite quickly luckliy as I was without GPS. Great spot for a cache. Didn't take or leave anything.
 

16th

12.43pm On our way to Bendigo again to watch the Awakening of The Dragon, so quickly did this one. Nice, quick and easy find of information and cache thanks. TNLN
 

15th

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. Thanks L.L.T.R.A
 

15th

Fifth cache of twenty nine for the day, found at 10:35 in the company of Dak Emu. A very interesting area with a nice bridge near by. Followed the geo trail directly to the cache. Thanks Coffee Clan for showing me this location.
 

13th

A quick find, after a quick stop at the starting point. A nice tie together of historical things at this cache. Not carrying any good swaps so left nothing and the only thing we took away where some photographs of the things of historical interest (signed log of course). Thanks Mr & Coffee Clan!
 

10th

We pulled up here just on dusk on the way to Robinvale to do the fireworks for the Southern 80. It is very strange to find two pieces of history so close together but yet so different. Collected the required information as the last of the sun disappeared and watched the nearby structure take on a totally different view in the light of the moon. Armed with torches we headed off to GZ to find our maths was correct as the gpsr took us directly to the cache .
TNLNSL
Thanks Coffee's for a very enjoyable multi
 

25th

11:15, a very interesting location.

TNLN, thanks to the Coffee Clan.
 

5th

Really interesting location with some good history; we are from Washington State, USA and happy that you brought us to this little side trip. TNLN
 

26th

Found this one at 09:45

This one is the second find of Ians Birthday Bash Cache Weekend. It caused us a little bit of strife because the GPS was all over the place - does granite affect GPS signals?

At the cache the GPS said the cache was still 16 metres away.

TN & left a Pig Doll

Thanks for an interesting cache.
 

26th

Found at 10.05 am GAFF1. Fantastic structure and interesting story about the living structures. We actually prefer Danish Blue or even Danish White cheese, but brie would be ok if that was all that was available. Took: CFA bushfire card, Left: Keyring. Thanks Coffee's
ps - do you mean 1000th rather than 100th?
 

15th

Found 15/1/2006 @ 12:40

GPS was all over the place, but the cache eventually revealed itself.

Several of the rabbit holes were blowing a cool breeze, so the side of this hill does appear to consist of loose-fitting rock.

Finished off the hunt with a coffee and cake back at the reserve on the main road, and the mineral water wasn't too bad either.

Took: Kangaroo
Left: Tortise

Thanks Coffee Clan.

 

14th

Found by Mary & David at 1500. Just excellent - history, royalty, mystery, botany, geology and local ingenuity. Great spots that we hadn't visited before. Took bottle opener, left microwave recipe book. Our thanks to Mr Coffee and the Clan.
 

12th

Found at 12:30pm Accompanied by the Mrs. & GeoDano.

In:-Kagaroo, Out:-Mondo Doll, Signed Log.
Thanks Coffee Clan....
 

11th

2.45pm
Found by Roma and Max.
We were aware this one was in the pipeline some time ago, when the owners paid a visit to our caches in Bendigo. It has taken us a while to coincide our travels with GZ.
We collected the required data, made our calculations and proceeded with the search. No luck to commence with, so we re-checked our figures, then widened the search a little and with the help of the clue, achieved our desired result.
We took a Pair of Dice and left a Mondo Figurine.
Thanks Mr Coffee and your Clan,
from Romax.

 

5th

Second of four finds on the way to Bendigo (again). I had left home without my GPSr and iPAQ! I was restricted to the backup Garmin (only marginally better than a compass and sextant). I didn't even have the coordinates for this one. I rang Muzza, and he gave me the coordinates and the questions. I copied the questions down in shorthand--a big mistake, as it turned out!

I misinterpreted 'planting' as 'planning'. The question didn't make much sense, but we managed to make the data fit the question. That mistake put me 90m away from where the cache turned out to be. It took two calls to the caffeine help line before we found the cache at 1545. Thanks to "Never Nescafé" clan for the cache.

IN: Two dise
OUT: Ear plugs
 

4th

Found by Bevfre 11:30am took padlock left compass on our way to Gisborne to bring our Grandchildren back for a holiday in Bendigo. Thank you Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan
 

4th

Found at 1340. Took us a while to find this one - lots of prickles. Took compass keyring, left fuzzy dice.
 

30th

My second 1st to find

Found at 7.00 pm on a very warm evening. Nice bit of history around here, found the numbers OK but had problems finding the cache ..... I knew I might be first so I kept looking (as my now nice red face can show). Certainly crampons or a pet mountain goat would be an advantage on this one!!!!

Took Lanyard
Left Koala (not a real one)

Thanks for the cache Mr Coffe and the Coffee Clan.
