I was caching in Rushworth today and had plenty of time left so I decided to target this series in Whroo. There were some great containers a few different ones too which mixed it up a bit. Mostly park and a short walk to GZ which helped get my numbers up for the day. Great little series TFTC Roman
Camping weekend with day1976, I do love the old mining areas! We did this whole series, no DNF's! Nice to have some of these further into the bush.
This is one of many geocaches that I have found over the last 12 months, but have not got around to logging. Sorry for the generic log. Just catching up now.
Travelling to Canberra for the mega, we couldn't pass up this series. Another quick find. Tftc
Found with Bogonghazy on our way home from a weeks holiday at Numurkah. Thanks for placing the geocache
Quick find with LittleBoss2 while heading back to Bendigo. Thanks Romax, always a pleasure finding your caches
Found without a problem. Wonder of some of the passing cars are fellow cachers??TFTC
TFTC! 26 December 2023 7:05:20pm 6584Thanks for showing us the area. First time here and enjoyed the walk around the Whroo historical area. Caching with Jen01 today
After the week in Bright it was time to head home to Melbourne... via a longer than normal route so I could find caches in the Greater Shepparton and Campaspe LGAs... the things you do when you get bitten by the "challenges bug"... Having made my Finds in Greater Shepparton LGA, I was now in Campaspe LGA... and hoping for at least 13 Finds if I had enough time as the afternoon was ticking away. I decided my only hope was to tackle this series along *Tait Hamilton Road*. Time is really ticking by now... sticking to my new plan of bypassing those that are more than about 50 metres from the road is working out. Thanks **Romax** for putting this cache here... a nice straight forward find.
Went away for my birthday weekend to the rushworth area in the forest.
Grabbed a heap of caches in the area over the weekend and left a trackable in one of them.

21 caches over a 2 hour bike ride; thanks for these caches Romax (and apologies for the repetitive logs. . . first time we've smashed so many caches, too many to individually log!)
Found while in the area visiting family.
This was a spot we had never explored before.
It was fantastic weather to be here geocaching too.

Heading home form Benalla we took the long way, of coarse, scouting out unfound caches along the way. We noticed the Whroo series on our map and made the decision to make our way through the Whroo Nature Reserve to collect the series.
An enjoyable time was had as we found various different hides in the stunning bushland setting. Having the area pretty much to ourselves with only 2 cars passing us, we were able to make each and every find safely without the prying eyes of muggles.
Thanks Romax for the fun series and WazzaAndWenches for maintaining the caches for us to enjoy.

A nice 4 days in the caravan for the school holidays with our daughter. Was a bit cold at times with the stong winds, but ended up being warm when the sun came out. Found by JK at 1:50pm. Dropped off TB
Sorry for the late log. Visited this one on the 2nd of August 2020 as the sunlight was beginning to fade. Trying to finish the Whroo caches but we lost GPS signal and reluctantly accepted the fact we would have to get the last few another day.
What a lovely winters day for a drive, picked up Ghihash and loaded the pups and headed to Whroo for the series 21caches in the lovely sunshine saw some kangaroos and an echidna. Thanks Romax and maintenance team
Only one DNF but will be back to rectify

Found on a school holiday adventure with Team Clarmensma (myself, GemmaSistema, Neisha07, Boo09, AdamSistema & LukeSistema as well as geo-pup Sammy).
We headed off to Whroo then back to Bendigo for some dinner and more caching by torchlight before heading home.
After some lunch we targeted this series. TFTC

School holidays are upon us so TeamClarmensma (myself and my kids AdamSistema & LukeSistema, and becca85 and her kids neisha07 & boo09) reformed for some geocaching fun targeting Rushworth, Whroo & Bendigo. I did the majority of running to these and boy they are a great workout. Hit my step count easily! Ha ha. All were easy finds in beautiful spots. Thanks for a great series.
Away for the weekend with Happy pants and omegaman1971. We were heading to Shepparton to do some caching, in an area we hadn't been before.
Many laughs and fun were had over the time, along with a variety hides found in some different areas.
This had us wandering about but got there in the end.
Thanks WazzaAndWenches for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

A lovely morning but it did get a bit warmer (a little too warm). I thought that it would be a good day to finish this series. I started to do so a few weeks ago but lost signal on my phone so I brought along the trusty GPSr for the trip today.

After paddling around Lake Nagambie yesterday, I needed a break, and with high winds, it added to my decision not to go back again today. So I headed to Whroo and surrounds for some terra firma caching. Somehow I skipped over this one and went straight to number 14. Then had to back track to this one.
My thanks for the cache, Romax.

While staying at the Elmore Events Centre for a week+ attending a CMCA Rally, I have been touring the area eash day finding caches wherever I can. I found this one on a drive South through Rushworth Along with the other in the WHROO PT. TFTC.
Lise here from cached up mummas and kids and non geo hubby.
This one drove me a little nuts....
GPS sent me to one spot, but then did a jump and sent me all over the place, finally it sent me back to the first spot!!!!
It ended up being super easy.
Thanx

This lucky number 13 nearly had us stumped. In the end, we trusted the coords and thought a little harder (dug a little deeper), and after our 10 minute search we held the treasure in our hot little hands.

This was a very enjoyable series. We appreciated walking in open forest areas where there was no or very little undergrowth. This is very different to home which there is much more dense undergrowth, often limiting vision to 1 or 2 metres. Each of the hides were well considered and the cache sizes were good, although we thought that some of the regulars were actually small. We were fortunate to be looking for these caches in fine weather with no wind.
Accurate coordinates and a logical hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Romax for this cache and a very enjoyable series.

This was our second last find of the day and done under torchlight as the light had faded rapidly. Lucky the cache was quickly found by the new junior cacher in tow. So TFTC inspectorrexteam and new cacher
Out for a cache and ride with Kremmen and Colinw178. Decided to attack this series. All caches were found and in good condition. Log signed as 3FOM. Tftc
Cool 32° Out on geocaching adventure today with Sorceysal and 6hinemoa2 (signed as 60S to save log space) part of a Whroo series. TFTC Cheers
Out and about with 6hinemoa2 and 08151605 (signed as 60S to save log space) with the aim to complete this series. Great roads with no one else around made for easy parking. With the temperature rising, it was a relief to get back to the car after each walk. Thanks Romax for placing this series so we could visit this lovely area
Out this way on a fun packed geocaching expedition with sorceysal and 08151605 to collect this series of caches.
We enjoyed the area and the variety of hides. It was nice to drive along well maintained roads.
The day was very hot though so the welcome relief of the air conditioned car was highly sought after.

On our way to visit family we attempted to do some drivebys, relying on the car air conditioning to keep us going in this incredible heat. This trail provided some great variety. This was a tricky one with some wasps hanging around. Thanks for an enjoyable cache.
While staying in the nearby camping area, we decided to follow this run of caches and had a fun afternoon. We very soon recognised the preferred type of hiding place (with a few exceptions) and the distance from the road varied a bit, but it was all good. Some tracks off the main road came in handy too. Each log had our name noted and was replaced in position before we moved on to the next location. Many thanks go to Romax for this nice series of caches.
Camped near here and went out for an afternoon's caching with goingplaces 2 and enjoyed this run of caches. Was able to complete the series. TFTC.
Nice hide
Out for a drive today with 2beez and 2A's. A lovely area. All caches in good condition.
Nice to also see good swaps for kids. Left swap.

TFTC out with Crack n Lee Lee & 2As for the day exploring the area & getting a few caches. Interesting area
This series had been on my to do list for way too long.
I was saving them for a rainy day but temptation got the better of me and I snagged the lot instead of mowing my lawns.
I had a blast with the whole series but no prize for guessing which one got my favourite point.
Thanks for the series Romax (&maintenance crew) it made for a very enjoyable day out. Sorry for the generic log. You deserve better.
