Cache has been missing for 9 months

Please review. Many DNF

Tried our best. Could not find

Had a serious look around but no joy for me today.....Given all the 'didn't finds' perhaps it's time the CO did a check on this cache

No luck foe either today.

We gave this a lot of time and a red hot search. No go today.

Sadly no find today

On a road trip to the north of the State and today we were heading over the border to Walla Walla NSW for a few days. We stopped in here yesterday on our way to Wodonga and had a very thorough search without success. We thought we would stop by again today for another look, but despite all our efforts again we were not successful. Too good for us, but we will be back.

Found it while on the travels TFTC

I was on my way home to Melbourne after spending a few days in the Snowy high country with the MX-5 Club... and took the opportunity to stop off in the Wodonga area to find the caches I needed to help me qualify for the **WCW - The 80/20 Rule Challenge**.Caches with a high number of Favourite Points are usually worth the extra effort of going to look for... and so after finding a number of caches along the HCRT, I continued driving east to come looking for this cache... and I am so glad I did. A very cleverly made cache at an interesting location. Despite it being a Micro, it was a surprisingly quick find.Thanks **mada1234** for this cache.

After a pleasant night in sheer luxury, fitzy_1965 and I were up early to take advantage of our free breakfast before joining the rest of the CIA crew for a day of caching before we all went our separate ways.We crossed the river into Victoria to meet at the start of The Crossing Place walk and did the loop before the sun got too hot. The walk itself was quite pleasant and was a good test for my hip which has not been the best of late. We targeted of the OZ trail and whatever else we came across. The logs were primarily signed as CIA (Canberra Invasion Albury) unless otherwise stated.

This is a cool spot.Day 3 of our Albury trip. Apologising up front for the generic logs. Cannot complain about the quality and quantity here, it was a great mixture. Some are very challenging hides and some even defeated us and some of those puzzles, just glad it was more than me working on them. Looking forward to coming back.Its a perfect weekend to get out of town. Decided Albury was the place to go. Lots of lovely puzzles that we have spent time as a group working through now its time to venture down and pick up.Signing as CIA-Canberra Invasion of Albury. And apologies for generic logs. Thanks for getting me out and about mada1234

Albury TripCool tricky container. Time for an Aussie road trip with Joolay, albida33 and FurfacesLL plus others from the Canberra puzzling team. Signed as CAI Canberra Albury Invasion). Thanks for the hide mada1234

On my way to the Mega at Rutherglen with Wicky. She's not great on road trips, so plenty of cache stops to break things up. Thanks for placing this cache!

Cheers

Easy find TFTC.
Had no pen so could not log.

Good spot missed it the first time

We were here yesterday doing an adventure lab location and didn't even realise a regular cache was here until later. So today we returned and made the find of a great little cache, favourite point awarded. I recently read a book about the migrant camp at Bonegilla so it was great to visit the area were the novel was set. TFTC

A brilliant hide! Brought my Girl Guides a month ago and could not find it. Came back and about 10 minutes into looking, found it. Brilliant! TFTC!

I am visiting the Albury area from Canberra, for the Muddy Murray bike ride, and took the opportunity to seek out a few caches by the second day's route from Shelley to Wodonga. I loved this cache, elegant and hiding in plain sight. It was a straightforward find, being obvious to geocachers and on the coordinates. Thank you mada1234 for installing and maintaining this clever cache.

Driving around today, stopped in to grab this sneaky one

Very clever hide took a minute of searching high AND low

We signed the log today as our 2nd visit here, our first being in April 2012. The sculptures hold great significance to our family. Rob’s father from Poland lived at the Bonegilla Immigration Camp after WWII then settled in Gippsland. We enjoy visiting this area.

Loved the suitcases, nice spot. Clever cache

I loved it

Beautiful day to explore rail trail with our Westies. Nice cache! Log pretty full. TFTC.

Heading to Tarnagulla way.

Enjoyed part of the rail trail.

Picked up a few caches here and there.

This was a quick find.

TFTC

Clever. Loved the old suitcases on the station. TFTC

Last cache for the day. Opened the app when we stopped to take photos and found there was a cache 2m away!
TFTC

Thanks for the find. Great location close to home.

What a cool cashe and a great bit of history. The log is needing some new paper.

A very cool hide that took a few minutes to locate but once we were on the correct level, hawk eyes spotted it. Well done.
Thanks mada1234 for the placement.

Awesome little cache

Found the clever cache evenually. Then we forgot the lab. So wish the GC apps were a bit more integrated.

e.Gregory1 and Freddo decided to travel to Wangaratta for Geocaching Victoria’s first 2022 Mega event. The attraction of GeoMaze icon was just too tempting. We packed the Land Cruiser for a bubble environment. There would be some public exposure but we would be keeping it minimal. Fortunately we did not bother with any warm clothes. Fortunately we packed some Bushmans with +20% DEET. There were caches to find and we found caches. We saw a lot of interesting places and met the occasional geocacher or two in the field.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Leaving Wangaratta to Highland country.
Found it
So grateful to visit here.
Interesting history.

Very sneaky! Signed and replaced!

Two weeks ago today my Great Oma passed away. 5 generations showed their love for her and laid her to rest this week so it was fitting that an afternoon drive should bring us here where she would've come from Holland all those years ago. Ik hou van je Oma. TFTC

Didn’t take me too long to spot it! Very cool cache I was wondering what would be worthy of all these favourite points… I’m going to add another ️ TFTC signed and replaced.

This cache certainly gets a favourite from me. Loved the suitcases littering the platform. Thank you for bringing us here with this cache.

We found the cache quite quickly but spent some time looking at the artwork. It was well worth the visit. Great place for the cache. Thank you for placing it for us to find.

Working on a couple of adventure caches out this way and made the most of a couple of trads while nearby. A very nicely hidden cache and well worth a fave from me while omegaman1971 and myself caught up for a days caching up this neck of the woods. Thanks mada1234 for highlighting this very interesting platform.

In town working just for the weekend but had sometime to catch up with my caching buddy and do just a few caches.
How cool is the platform artwork.

Checked on 24/3/2021. All good. Needs new paper.
This is a great cache. Did the walk from Wodonga. Now to return.

Backtracking from where I parked I got lucky with this cache! The coordinates were spot on making for an easy find. Now it was to start the rail trail proper...

Awesome hide. Super happy to be playing this amazing adventure

Nice spot, hard to get to driving with the traffic but got in here ok. Nice camouflage, thanks

Great little hide! No muggles today!

Tricky. TFTC

Cut and paste section

Streak day 88
Below is a blurb about us
We are trying to get a badge ,the author ,from project GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to get badges for adding photos to our found logs .
We started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full-time, living in a caravan, caching fits in well with this lifestyle. It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone. When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there in order to get the caches we want.

Trackables that we have with us today are:
Son of red
Rhodes travel Tong
Stanley the bushman
Where are my keys
Ducincs Viking ship
Miss Jenn lackey tag 11
TB challenge worldwide traveller
Scrabble tile
Kevin the trainee drop bear
3 million geocaches tag
Cohete Rocket
Around the world in 80 days
Sports tag

Number 6 for the day.

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. We stopped for a cache find on the way to Albury, hadn't been on this section of the rail trail before. Quick find, I went straight to it. I was fascinated with all the mushrooms that were coming through the edge of the path, they just moved the stones aside and popped out. TFTC

Found this one with SciFiRulz as team nicnax. TFTC

That was not easy to find. But Ms. Vollseiler had the "nose". Tftc.

How very clever. Thank you.

That was hard

Staying at cp at Bonegilla next to Lake Hume. Wednesday we leave for Healesville cp to meet up fir 3 days with daughters & families. I walked 1.80 kms from cp to get this cache. Loved it. Warmed me up too as today's temp was 14 deg. Tftc

Very creative, enjoyed finding this one.
Thanks

Nice cache

Cool find quick and easy.

Nose find on nice winter’s day, TFTC

My second one for the day and we nearly got muggled out of it with a family reunion and photo shoot

A nice little hide, something a bit different. While I couldn’t ride this far last time. It was a short stroll in the sun today, while I took the opportunity to get out and grab just a few for this latest souvenir.

Thankfully it was in the second place I put my hands on, so it was a quick sign and back to the car.

Thanks mada1234 for all the effort of placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Took awhile, saw something that looked out of place and sure enough it was the cache

Wow straight on to it. Surprised to see a train station here. TFTC

Great hiding stop. Definitely had to think outside the box to find it

Very sneaky hide, definitely a favourite. Great history. Found with jackez74 TFTC

What a great sneaky hide and a lovely history point. It definitely gets a favourite. TFTC

Very clever. Beautiful afternoon for it. TFTC

Geocaching brung us to a spot we wouldn't have known was here or stopped at otherwise tftc.

A clever hide.

Found with my dad (day1976) as we awaited others to turn up who had got lost.

Found with Yeah09 before meeting up with others to do some more of the trail

Nice spot!! TFTC!

Another find by geowife, we are at about 50% each today.
A very neat hide.
Thanks for the cache, now back on our bikes.

Great sneaky hide, espescially after dark! Tftc!

Greetings from Lithuania! TFTC

After being unsuccessful at the Hume dam cache We continued on and found this very interesting place

What a great cache and so obvious. Seen the ‘should not be there’. Just had to believe the gps and look. TFTC

No luck here for me today. Maybe I need the previous finders GPS unit. Oh well.

Finally found the GZ after geo daughter and I had numerous attempts.
It was way off from the GPS coordinates, so I’ve put it back to where the GPS says it should be.

First cache found for the day with BeardedMuggle on the way home after being on a little escape from Bendigo for a few days and visiting friends that live in Tallangatta,
Nice easy find today, the man grabbed it and bought it over to me with the log out ready without me even realising he had got it.
Replaced and on our way again.
Thanks for bringing us here =]
Cheers & T.F.T.C!
All in good condition.
Safe travels and hoppy caching =D

Found quickly while cycling along the rail trail. tftc

Great camouflage thanks for the Cache
