Out visiting the blowhole we never knew existed and grabbed this one on our way back out to the highwayTftc
Found by Aussie Train Driver 11/08/2024, find number 1803.Another find out of a beautiful afternoon's caching North of Tocumwal. This one was easy to find as it was completely exposed. I managed to scrape together some cover from the surrounding area so it was a hidden a little better when I left. TFTC!
Out and about today exploring the area with Grannan55 and Geodogs. Nice easy park and grab. All good here. Now, onto the next one for the day. TNLN TFTC
TFTC,Wow, the temperature is 39 Deg. today and after an early start to avoid the heat playing golf, it's time to find a few caches to build our statistic numbers for this day on the calendar.And we are on our way, exploring an area we haven't spent much time in.Cache is in place, visited trackables.
Family day out to Cobram/Barooga area, stopped in at the Big Strawberry then drove around seeing the sights whilst collecting a few caches, finished the arvo off at Tocumwal splash park, kids had a blast.Short little walk to reveal this one, all good here. TFTC!
Quick find with tassie expat while exploring this interesting area. Very nice to drive the backroads. Nice hiding spot, it's in good condition. Tftc
A quick find with frmen1 whilst driving back roads. Removed some crappy swag (scrunched up stickers, bottle top) and popped in a pathtag. TFTC Started to head south but after it got slippery a few kms down we turned back. Looks like a tractor struggled in one of the adjacent fields lol
Tftc blacklegend, quick find made here, strangely, there were a few muggles walking past
Heading back into town from the Blowhole, and this cache just happened to be on the road I was driving down! Not a single other car on this drive either, so quickly pulled over and jumped out for a quick find!

Cruising the roads less travelled on a hot and windy day picking up caches to complete our lag for the southern nsw. Cache in good condition. Tftc
Quick and easy find, clearing up some caches in the area. All looks to be in good order with this one!
Headed out on a 10-day trip to outback NSW with fitzy_1965 and albida33.
Day 10 saw us heading from Finley to home! What a wild 10 days it has been! In logs, we signed as MK, F65 & A33.
Quick find here today.

21,612. Found with minniek and albida33 during our September Outback Adventure Tour.
Day 10 - Finished caching around Finley and Tocumwal, then started the long drive home. Next stop for the day. Parked nearby for a quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then we headed off to the next one. Some caches took a bit of navigating around slushy roads to get to.
Thanks Blacklegend !! This one was difficult to get to after the rain !

Found while staying in Tocumwal for a few days so there was time to find some cached before moving on. This was an easy find. TFTC.
Found by Mary and David at 13:00. Hope the kids are still out riding with you. We'll be home tonight after a week away. Our last for the day, and sad to see the effects of the drought, and the bushfire smoke everywhere. Our thanks to Blacklegend.

Making our way back towards Tocumwal to check into our Motel. Far too windy for riding today and the rain clouds are gathering too. SL at 3.32pm and popped it into a new zip lock bag. Left: foot bottle opener. #6304 TFTC Blacklegend
Found in the middle of the road, a car has certainly rolled over, impossible to open the box. We put it back as we could. Nice place thanks for the history of this place
Found during a Clarmensma Family trip to Cobram/Barooga for the holidays. Sorry for the late logging! TFTC
A nice quick find.
Our regular school holiday Team Clarmensma overnight trip is upon us again, this time heading north to Cobram, Barooga area. With both days over 40, we broke up our caching with lots of swimming, frozen cokes and icy poles.
A really fun day had tripping around. TFTC

A quick find as we headed back to town for lunch.
School holidays meant it was time for Team Clarmensma to reform. This consisted of myself; becca85 and our 4 geokids (AdamSistema, LukeSistema, neisha07, boo09). This time we hit the Murray and cached our way from Ballarat/Maryborough to Cobram/Barooga (where we stayed the night) and then back through Tocumwal, Numurkah, Shepparton and Bendigo. We had a fabulous couple of days in VERY hot weather so stopped for lots of swims and water fun. Many thanks for the cache. Very much appreciate you placing for us to find.

Away for a few days caching and trying out some rough camping in a swag and OZREG's newly decked out 4WD ute. With no set plan but taking the opportunity to grab a few finds along the way as we weaved our way down the back tracks, heading down the great Murray River. Enjoyed the drive down the river and taking a few diversions along the way. Interesting to see the different agriculture, crops and landscapes along the way but if it wasn't for the river, it would be a very different story, as it is in the dry areas, further a field. We made some great discoveries, clever hides and generally enjoyed the caches we found, which took us to some interesting places, that we wouldn't probably see if it wasn't for caching. We had a few good laughs along the way.
We will have to bring our bikes next time as it would be a nice ride. We found the hide quickly, once a GZ.
Thanks Blacklegend for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Apology for generic log. With approx 70 Caches to log and not recalling details of many, the most important point I must stress is................. THANKS ALL CACHE OWNERS for their efforts, because if not for you, so many wonderful places would not have been encountered to appreciate. Our fantastic time would not have been either.
Happy Feet 1 and I had a wonderful 3 days (Oct 5-7) cache trekking around the Murray Region from Howlong to almost Barmah.
HF1 with her skills, dedication, and helpful retrieving devices made a significant addition to my cache tally.
I felt like a circus act a few times.
Despite us both having a conflicting trait or two, we thoroughly enjoyed each others company and had quite the success we were aiming for.
Even catching out a member not being truthful or honest to himself or others in regards to caching etiquette.
The period of camping certainly helped in defining all the areas of my camping vehicle that needed modifying or improving upon. Having the annex fall upon my companion was not something I was proud of. Pheeew!! No harm done.
Again, thanks to CO's.

Found on the way home to Melbourne today. Been a tiring couple of days of driving so happy to break the journey up with a few stops on the way. Thanks for the pit stop, TFTC.
We stopped 30 meters north of the cache, lucky we did as we found the cache laying on the side of the road 20 plus meters from GZ. It may have been picked up by a bird. TFTC
Something or someone moved the cache 20 or so meters north of it's home. We found it on rhe side of the road. TFTC
Our goal today was to enjoy a day of sight seeing while in the area. Thanks for another enjoyable cache highlighting the area.
Thanks Black Legend for another smiley face three so far today making 1122. Log Signed
5645 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1330. Continued drive around the district on another caching run. All in good condition. SL Tnx Blacklegend.
Luckily for us, we had a quick and easy find on this one, not another dnf like it's mate down the road. I even spotted a cute little skink hiding under the cache. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
A lovely day to be out riding with the kids, but I didn't have a bike or any kids to ride with me, other than the one I had in the car. It was a lovely find, well concealed so I thought I would leave a trackable there to continue its journey, but not sure where to - because I don't understand German.
I really enjoyed this one [^]
Maybe it was the lovely late arvo lighting or the company or just the cute hide but I walked away with a smile on my dial and a happy heart.
