LGC #07 - Cumberland River Lorne, Victoria, Australia
By Mr Emu on 06-Feb-10. Waypoint GC23NCJ

The idea was for the series cute while it lasted, but to avoid any dangerous driving incidents by people trying the series in reverse order, this series has been archived.

The cache has now been removed, but I will leave the listing "live" to allow a cacher that wrote in the logbook recently the opportunity to log their visit on GC.com.

I have decided that the placement of these guard-rail caches along this narrow, curvy road is too dangerous.

Despite of my clear warnings on the cache page, I am concerned by logs from cachers that still attempt them from the "wrong" direction (i.e. travelling from Apollo Bay towards Torquay), which entails cutting across traffic, sometimes on blind corners. While I cannot control how people choose to drive, I do not want to be responsible for a fatality as the roads get busy over Summer.

Collection and Archiving of this cache is planned within the next month.

Prior to discovering Geocaching I only ever pulled over on the G.O.R. if someone was going to throw up!

Ah sad news for these caches, this one was found by Xena without GPS

Thanks for all the nice caches on the GOR. We were really lucky that they hadn't been archived at the time we were there. We were also nearly alone on the road and driving in the right direction so had no problem finding and logging them safely.
Thank you, Clauphi from Germany

Our 2nd of the series and we're into a rythm. Mrs j finds and signs and mr j takes photos. Thanks for the series. NINO TFTC

Another fantastic LGC! I really enjoyed how these caches made certain we stopped and observed the coast as we travelled along. It changed subtly, but the views were always great.

Thank you for the cache!

This was a nice and quick grab in a great spot.  Thanks Mr Emu.

Suscoe found this one and loved the views once again.

Rocky Glen Grommets were visiting Victoria (Aussie MotoGP at Phillip Island) and were on their way home when they decided to do some caching - this was number 1 for today before heading along the Great Ocean Road

It was so cool, that serie of caches.
Thanks from Switzerland.

Quick find after a long hunt revaled my GPS had the wrong co ordinates, out by 350 metres, not sure why that happened but it made all the difference. Another great view along this amazing road. TFTC

First Australian cache (after visiting the country for the sixth time now). Easy find at a lovely road. More to come.

5th of these and we were on a roll. T4TCSL

6th of a great series and another before bacon and eggs on the bbq. TFTCSL

A nice and easy find in the dark, with very few muggles passing. TFTH...SL....TNLN

Another easy find on our way to Apollo Bay. We are playing leapfrog with other motorists along the way. A great spot to watch the waves at high tide. SL TFTC

More great views, you certainly know how to pick 'em. TFTC.

Another one in this great series whilst on holiday. TFTC

Brillaint run of caches - marvellous views - thanks

Drove to Bells Beach for a look and a possible cache or 2 then was able to complete the LGC series. Thanks for the great series Mr Emu.

Another quick find on the ocean road trip

2010-07-03 16:09 Found on our way to Apollo Bay along with all except #12 which is currently disabled. Thanks Mr Emu.

another fabulous view, another reason to stop.

What's with the tourists along here! Anyone would think there was a reason other than caching to stop! TNLN, TFTC.

Did the tour the wrong way around when heading towards Sydney. Great views but really adventurous cutting across the lane in order to get into the bays - thanks, we loved it.

Found this morning just after 10am. Thanks Mr Emu

Found at 15:50hrs en route to Apollo Bay. Signed log....TFTC.

Took the geomunchkins geocaching while the geo wife worked in Lorne for the day

Cool

I did this series (Except the disabled #12) in reverse order today on the way back from the Earthcaches near Port Cambell.
I had a ball with this series and by no way are any of these 'Lame'.
The scenery is fantastic. The cache locations are superb and the containers are well loved and maintained.
All in all a great series of caches on a 'Great' stretch of road.
Well done.

Found @ about 16:25. #73 for us and the 3rd on our spontaneous Ocean Road caching expedition with honourary cacher Vossy. Again, we timed it between muggle waves. A nice quick find, log, happy-snap and return operation. TNLNSL and thanks for this great series !

On a weekend trip down the Great Ocean road I really liked the cache series. TFTC from California

Cheers for another great view at a LGC Mr Emu Cache! Zalgariath of Sydney

Found by PR&F with The Empire on 7/4/10 @ 1.15pm.
#7 of 17 finds for PR today on our mission of the Great Ocean Road.
Another great spot to stop and stretch the legs, especially if a cache is involved!
The Empire signed the log while I read the quote and we continued our way down this beautiful road.
TFTC Mr Emu

Easy found and a nice view.

LGC #7 Found with Schatzuche and The Hunta on our way home from the Mega Event in Wagga, just a slight detour back to Adelaide but well worth the trip, great scenes and even better caches Thanks Mr Emu for all the work you have put in along this beautiful peace of coast line and this brilliant series, the detour was worth this alone. Given the effort you have put in we decided to add a little of our own. Please enjoy the photos we took using your cameras along the way.

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

# 66 cache on our Aus Mega Event Roadtrip, Adelaide—Wagga—Geelong—Warrnambool--Mt Gambier--Adelaide. Fun all the way!!
Loved the nearby campground (if my memory is correct) again what a stunning part of the world. Kids nearby being "Kids" having a ball plying with some logs and water on the beach. Just like the good old days.

Our fifth LGC on the way along the Great Ocean Rd towards Melbourne. We found these caches to be very enjoyable as they were always placed in lovely scenic spots. TFTC!!!

Cheers from Barra and Co

Nice information here and a great plaque. TFTC. TNLNSL.

On a coastal cruise to clean up between Anglesea to Warrnambool , have not been here for a while and was great to have a look around in a caching sort of way and appreciated the LGC series and know of more cachers who have their eye on it . thank you Mr Emu

Nice and easy, exactly what I need today with my geodada not feeling well.
Fantastic road!

Found while enjoying the long weekend holiday at Cumberland. Thanks for the cache.

Such a beautiful area to drive through and even and better area to walk. Nice easy find and enjoyed the view at the same time. Great way to make people to stop and smell the roses.
Thanks for the cache.

Phew..over the half way mark.
Getting hungry...
Thanks for the cache and the journey so far.

Found by Mary & David at 1540. Hard to see where the sea ends and the clouds begin. Hope this rain reaches our parched suburban garden. Collected 'Eddie's Garmin Visit UK - Big Ben Geocoin'. Once again our thanks to Mr Emu.

After my adventures rescuing the fair Lady Oak it was back to grabbing the caches along the GOA at some terrific locations. Being a Friday I had a few road workers and less muggles so that made my day a little easier. Discovered a coin in this guy but took note of it's #. Signed the log and off to the next knowing what I would have to find even before I arrived. Thanks again Mr Emu.

Find # 3157 and 24th of the day at 2:44 pm. Accompanied by Feathertop on our Great Ocean Road Trip. Another easy drive-by, TNLN, left my mark in the log, Thanx Mr Emu....

Oenze and I have come down this way before for some toughish caches in the past but we have never had it this easy.
Nice series and the cars are starting to thin out a bit now.
TFTC

Better drop in the coin.

The 9th of 16 finds on this Valentine's Day drive with Mrs 1SR. Found at 1032. What a great idea for a series along this road. A quick find. drop coin took nil.

Found the cache today at 1.00pm with beanie Another great view

Signed the log TNLN

Thanks Mr Emu for the cache

This was our 6th in the series today and through more good luck than good management we managed to pull up almost next to the cache in a deserted car park making for a very easy find. We are now starting to think that the Geelong cachers must have all been away today as again we found a blank first page. Before heading off we took the time to read yet another interesting plaque about the building of this great road
Thanks once more Mr Emu
