DNF cache log soon

Found It!Not a bad view from up here! Found the cache after a short search.TFTC

I was visiting family nearby so headed out early to search out a few caches. I grew up close by, but it's over 20 years since I've driven this road. A quick find of the well concealed container on this grey drizzly morning. All in good condition. TFTC grannyapple64

Thanks for bringing us here - we had a lovely drive around the greater Thorpdale area on Sunday with the geokids and this was one of our finds. TFTC

A nice quick find after a very pleasant drive through the rolling countryside. TFTC!

Found this one while out for a ride on my motorbike. A great day for a ride and to pick up a few caches while I'm at it.
WOW spectacular views from up here on top of the world, a clear day today and it seems like you can see forever.
Found the cache quickly, signed the log and on my way again.
TFTC.

Thank you for thinking of a spot with such magnificent views!

My first day out and about to geocache (work & lockdown) and had nothing urgent to do so it was joyous to just have time to explore and see what I could find.
Easy drive by. Should have picked a nicer day as view would be lovely.
thanks de ja vu - wish I had a better view today but applaud spot

Found it with margaretforr1987

Fantastic view this cache finishes our geocaching afternoon off at 190 finds total TFTC

A great drive around Gippsland picking up caches.
Yarragon, Trafalgar, Thorpdale, Narracan Falls, Coalville, Mirboo North, Leongatha, Korumburra and Loch.


Missed this one while logging yesterday.

A quiet spot and a nice view from here.

Thanks for the cache

For really experienced cachers we made that Harder than it was!!!
We rushed past the obvious, in the miserable drizzle and headed for the small pine trees at the back... mind you there were great spots there for a good sized container.

Mrs Riddell retreated to the car empty handed and Mr. Riddell had a quick cursory glance as he past and spotted it just sitting there.

Mrs Riddell obvious had a Doh moment.
TFTC and history

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so i decided to head out for a day out of the house and what better way than a drive around your own area picking up caches, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves and sanitizer I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. Old and young McDonald were out replacing fences today, thankfully far enough from GZ to be out of site.

Thanks de ja vu for the cache.

Lovely views.

Real nice views here, TFTC nice drive out here

Great views from this spot

A quick drive by sound and signed, we enjoyed the view and a very windy day today.

Me the view here to both sides is special. Unfortunately the stupid sheep didn't stick around for the photo, but the rolling hills and pine forrests make this an especially beautiful spot. Really n8ce farming land. Cache was found in good condition. Tftc

Even though it was quite cold, the view from here was worth the visit. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

The cache was quickly located which I was grateful for as it was quite cold in the wind here today. Thanks for the cache and the views.

Invited for a day out caching today with OHC GT37, P4506 and M&K (as a lot of logs were signed this way), we headed east to see if we could rectify some DNF’s from last time, and cache out some area. Some zig zagging occurred, but all clues & gems were found for M&K, a puzzle OHC & GT37 solved found, and some very high quality hides and scenic spots were discovered. A great days caching! OHC found this one quickly. Scenic spot! Thank you so much for placing this one for us to find de ja vu.

A girls road trip today with Sebastian taking Mrs Papi4506, (Mark&)Kelly, beckNmonts and myself for a ride through Gippsland.
E-I-E-I-O
Cheers de ja vu

Out on a girls day out with OzHockeyChick, geoturtle37 and becNmonts caching in the local area.
Unfortunately the only animal we could see was the little trackable giraffe we popped into this cache so our song was a bit off strange when signing about farm animals.

We found it, than ran into the car because we were cold. We signed it and placed it back. And 999hunter placed a trakable in there.

While doing sport in the area, we had to swing past this one to collect it. Parked opposite and we quickly rushed out of the car, dropped the cache from the obvious place and jumped back in the car. We signed the log, dropped off a TB, and was about to return it, when2 walkers passed us. No idea where they came from, or where they were walking. Then returned the cache after they walked past.
Thanks for the cache de ja vu.

PS. TB dropped off

Caching day with warm weather
Beautiful country for me to drive along

Day trip Melb/Trafalgar/Thorpdale/Yinnar/Jumbuk/TarraBulgaNP/JackSmithLake/WoodsideBeach/McLaughlinsBeach/Melb.
Nice views looking east towards the Latrobe Valley. We found this cache while the nearby lamb-chops-in-waiting were bleating away to an almost symphonic crescendo. I guess they couldn't smell the mint sauce we had in the back of the car (or maybe they could!)
TFTC

Sorry for the late log. Nice quick find. TFTC

Nice quick park and find. Log is in great shape TFTC

Nice spot de ja vu. Was out to get spuds, so thought I'd try this road for a change. Well worth it, thanks de ja vu

Beautiful outlook from GZ, a quick and easy find on a very cold, rainy day. Still, lovely views to be had. Thanks for the hide

Beautiful but industrial view across the valley, definately a different aspect. Out with Tooth66 without daughter in tow, gee she'll be peeved. Easy find. Cheers

Nice view pity about the valley possum64

Finally found a cache this day- week! Too many DNFs lately but this was a quiet location. No disturbance and easy find. Great location too. TFTC

Nice easy find

Haha love this hide, nice and simple yet smart

Not many animals around today.
Old mcdonald only had some cows, way across the paddock.
So, a moo moo there, a moo moo there, well that about it.

Out caching with d@geo
Thank you for the hide 'de ja vu'

Found while out on a Sunday caching run with gwd.aussie. On way to gz we wondered "and on that farm he (Old McDonald) had a .........." The answer apart from the cache were cows in the distance.

Nice and easy to find

Wick find on the way home from the Thorpdale Potato Festival, TFTC

Quite quick and easy, which was a good confidence builder after the frustration of not finding the Narracan Falls cache.

Found with Sixy2Sue ...
Easy to find. A clever hiding place.

Another find for Kato Potato and I, enjoying the views above Traf and Narracan, we cruised into this driveby, Kato made a quick find, the log was signed and we were off. TFTC de ja vu!

Certainly lots of farms in this area and we had a good giggle at the 'camo'. Nice quick find, TFTC

What views!! I just love the places geocaching takes you to. This was a fairly easy pick up, just glad old Mcdonald didn't come over the rise as I was parked in the farm gateway and the gates were open. Luckily it was a quick find and I could get back into the car, all the time listening for the sound of a tractor/farm bike behind me! TFTC

TFTC!!

#6004 We were heading from Albury through to Wonthaggi with Coruze for a weekend of fun and frivolity. The weather had turned quite wet through the course of the afternoon and by the time we'd arrived at GZ, it was raining steadily. Ironically our friends from Townsville were sending photos of them eating gelato ice-creams on a 26° day - let's just say ice-creams weren't high on our agenda . Interesting to read the history of this track, we have certainly been enjoying driving through this area. The cache was found well hidden and in good condition. Our thanks to de ja vu for the cache and fun. Cheers [^]

Took: TB

Finally found our first cache

4th the day woop woop
great view

Fourth find of the day with Colin58. Lovely view. Thanks for bringing us up here.

Finding a few today.

Sorry for the late log - I can be real bad at it.
This cache was found in the company of skullracing on one of our trips to the big smoke.
Unfortunately I really dont remember the cache so I'm sorry this is a shit log.

Stopped here on my way up the hill. Then found the cache while watching the fires burning in the mine down below.

Lovely views and as has been said before, a nice easy find. You could say this one didnt have us stumped for long at all. TFTC
Left Travel bug

Great view easy find

After picking up mums car after it was serviced I decided to grab some cache and see how good her new Mercedes goes,and Yep it goes good. This cache was located in the first place I looked. sl Thanks De ja vu for the cache.

Operation Achieve 900 was founded when it was realised that Trent will be heading to Moruya, NSW fishing late next week and with only 18 finds needed to reach the milestone a caching run to Churchill was hatched. We started at Trafalgar, down to Thorpdale across to Narracan then onto Yinnar doing a circuit of the Hazelwood Pondage before finishing off in Churchill. We managed to find the 900th cache on part of the Winston Wander series in Churchill.

We arrived at GZ and as soon as the GeoRanger came to a halt both Katy and Campbell were out like a flash keen to get on the scoreboard. Katy made the quick discovery, log was signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache de ja vu.
