May 17, 2024 10:51 AMOn our way to Robe for the weekend and stopped here again to try to turn this previous DNF into a smiley. Mrs P joins in the search and finds it straight away while I'm still looking at the wrong object. How in the world did I miss that last time? TFTC and the leg stretcher!

Settled in a good spot.

The youngest monster raced over and had it found quickl! Nice hide! TFTC!!

Nice easy find on a warm day. Wouldn't normally stop here, but tftc

A quick stop to use the facilities in this town on our way from Mt Gambier to Ballarat. And its always nice to find a cache in a different lga too. Signed as the SADDLE club for teams Shazzar66, AtTheLakeHouse, Duppers Delightful Leap Excursion - or something like that!

Shazzar66, AtTheLakeHouse and I flew from Brisbane to Adelaide to attend the Leap Day Mega. Our plan was to drive from Adelaide to Mt Gambier to find more of our targeted caches in the area, and then to drive to Melbourne Airport via Ballarat, as we had targets there too. Our caching list included Oldies, good or needed D/T caches, caches with high Favourite Point, geo-tour caches in Ballarat and any others that took our interest when we had extra time.On our way between Mt Gambier and Ballarat, we made several wee-stops. This was one. As there was a cache here, we had to make the find. Cache was signed SADDLE Club, our team name during our trip.Thanks, Marly8120 South-West, for the cache.

We were in Adelaide for The Great Leap Forward (Mega-Event). After the event we made our way through to Mt Gambier, and now heading to Melbourne for our flights home via Ballarat. We cached a few random caches in the surrounding areas along the way.We found your cache, There's Gold in Them Thar Hills today. This is my 2942 find.Having a girlie trip with Duppers and At The Lake House. Signed as Saddle club to save room in the logbook.South-West, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Well after a whirl wind tour of Tasmania to help with 3 challenges that Im working on, I got back in last night packed the car and headed off to SA this morning to attend the Leap Year Mega and to also tick off some LGAs along the way as well.Heading towards Millicent today as I missed the Mega due to the Rona that was going around so it was about time I made a visit there.Im not sure if I have travelled along the Glenelg Hwy but it was a nice drive along here.Time to stretch the legs and find a cache or two in this nice little town.Thanks South-West TFTC.

Grabbed along our travels in this great country. T4TC

On our way TEMBO! and I made a stop at the cache "There's Gold in Them Thar Hills". Unfortunally we found no gold.Thanks to Marly8120 for hiding and maintaining the cache.T4TC Filser1

Had a good look around but couldnt find it this time

Found by The Empire + HContinuing our journey, we passed through Glenthompson, a small town characterized by its tranquil atmosphere and agricultural surroundings. The vast fields stretching into the horizon revealed the heart of rural Victoria, where farming traditions and community ties run deep. Thanks for the cache South-West.-M

Quick stop on way around townTNLNSL Thanks

Easy stop and go. I AM GUR

It eluded me this time

Nice easy find on our way to Robe for Melbourne Cup weekendSneaky hide tftc

Catching up on a few found logs during a recent trip to Naracoorte for a family reunionMany thanx for the cache

Found it . TFTC

TFTC.

Well, that was a trip! I've always had the opportunity to come through this way, but as it's an 1100km day anyway, I opted not to for a few reasons. Last night, I decided I will, it only added 30km and a bunch of virtuals so a 5am start it was. Solo driving it was a long way, but a much more scenic way it was a pleasure and great fun. All up 16hours on the road, a huge day, the last 2 hours in the dark with many roos, hard...but pleased to have experienced it and looking forward to the chance to pass through another time.Nice hint and hide! Was a cool drive with the grampians in the distance and everything looking so green, or yellow with the Canola. Very pretty country, I'm encouraged to return through this way again.

Nice spot. TFTC

Thanks

so good and yet so small TFTC

feathertop made the find here, it was neatly slipped in. Signed the old log as we could not get the new one out.

Out and about today with Motndarg and feathertop.

Thanks for placing the cache South-West.

Woooohooooo

Good one

Found It took awhile

Found it during breakfast event

This cache was on our ‘to do’ list today as we headed to the Event across the road. We had previously DNF’d it as we just couldn’t find it after an extensive search but today in the company of 2 other teams and a recent garden manicure the sneaky hide was located. It was pretty much wedged in and had to be prised out with a tool. The logbook was full so we have replaced it with a fresh write in the rain rolled up paper. Very happy to turn this frown upside down.
Thanks South-West for the placement.

Nice day to head out west with Sol de lune. Off to Glenthompson for Breakfast Event and a CITO at Walkers Swamp, followed up with a Lunch Event at Dadswell Bridge and a CITO at Mt William Creek. Time for a few caches on the way up, some in between and a few more on the way home. Many thanks for the placement of the caches to all the CO’s. The caches were all found in great condition and were fun to find. Sol de lune and I thankyou for our days entertainment.
Thank you very much for this cache and your constant upkeep to keep it here for others to find Marly8120.

Out on run out to Glenthompson with JTreeTrack2 for a CITO and then onto Dadswell Bridge for another one. Weather was good for most of the day and all went well with the events.

Arrive at this one and started the search. We were soon joined by The_Tritonz, who looked in a different area to us and soon had the cache spotted. Took a few minutes to get it out, but all was good and in the cache was soon in hand. Log sheet was full, so we added a new and replaced the cache as found.

Thanks Marly8120...cache all good.

TFTC That’s a sneaky hide

Hello South-West thank you for the cache

I looked back and found the cache.

This was one of many caches found on our way back home from Newcastle seeing our grand children.

Favourite from me, gorgeous little town. TFTC

A well thought out hide

TFTC nice quick find on our way to SA

On my way to Robe for Easter so decided to grab some caches along the way!

??

Clever hide!

On a camping road trip to the Grampians, Mt Gambier and surrounding areas. We are now on our return journey and currently camped at the Willaura Recreation Reserve. Today we are out exploring the local area and picking up a few caches as well of which this was one. While Mrs. Pooky was distracted looking elsewhere, it was Mr. Pooky who made the find, partially helped by the hint . TFTC and showing us more of this area.

Quick toilet stop and oh look...a cache lol. Quickly found and off we go again, heading home

On our way home from Portland, quick stop along the way.

Nicely placed cache. Thread has gone on the bison, but all is okay inside. Tftc.

As we headed out to explore the area and enjoy a drive, we managed to get our muggle driver to make a stop or two for us to see if we could add a smile or two, Log soon retrieved, signed and replaced as found, TFTC and the fun

Nice hiding spot, thanks!

Heading in a westerly direction and grabbing a few caches along the way.
More rain and then give it 5mins and the sun is shining again. This weather is so silly for December.

TFTC Marly8120
Keep smiling

Here towards Portland we have found a few more ion the way and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks to all the cache owners whose caches we found today.

scramping & I found this cache while heading home from the Whittlesea Mega and a couple of days in Ballarat.

I searched for this one and after some time I found the sneaky little hide and not where I spent some time looking.

TFTC Marly8120

My sixth day of my trip heading to the Mega Event In Whittlesea Victoria. This would be Find Number 6 of 19 for the day and find Number 73 for this trip away.

Quick stop off the grass area was drenched from the rain was lucky not to come back with wet feet.

On our travels we stopped to grab this cache, a sneaky little hide, it took us awhile but soon enough we had the prize in hand, thanks for placing this cache

Tried this one quite awhile ago going round and round in circles but no find. Today, maybe with fresh eyes, was an easy find for D. Tftc

Adelaide to Melbourne Roadtrip.
Day Two: Naracoorte to Ballarat.
Weather: all over the place, standard Victoria.

Drink stop!!

I had the right idea, but was careless on the first sweep. Thanks South-West.

Found by Rebel Acts.

with it being School holidays in Victoria I had some time spare to head to Millicent where I teamed up with the Empire for a few days caching in the area, we had a fantastic time exploring the area.

This is one of the caches found on route to SA.

Thanks South-West for the cache.

I was on my way to Hamilton, en route to Millicent to meet up with friends. I chose a few random caches along the way to break my journey. Found after looking at it incorrectly at first.



Many thanks to Marly8120 for the cache.

Found with fitzy_1965 on an interstate weekend away collecting counties.

Today saw us travel from Oxley Reserve near Wangaratta to Hamilton in the States west. Our main target was a Community Celebration Event at lunch time in Bendigo and as many counties and virtuals as we could along the way. The day was a mix of sun and rain which kept us on our toes and then, the prospect of not finding a free camp area for the evening, saw us splurge on a motel room. We found a fantastic kebab shop for dinner…I think we will be back in Hamilton LOL.

Of the caches we tried, they were found quickly and easily. Thanks so much to each and every CO.

28,067. Found with minniek during a caching run down to Ballarat and southwest Victoria in general.

Day 2. After camping overnight at Oxley we continued heading south, grabbing a few Traditionals and Virtuals before attending the nearby Community Celebration Event. After that we visited the Ex-POW Wall for a few caches, then started our SouthWest Loop picking up some Local Government Areas/Counties as part of our quest to finish all the Victorian ones this year. This was the next cache on our list, and once at GZ we made a quick find in the neat hidey-hole. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on our way.

Thanks Marly8120 !!

Nice easy find while passing through! TFTC!

Found it

Accurate coordinates and a familiar object led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Marly8120 for the cache.

I found this cache on a caching adventure out west by myself. Testing out the new van to see how it goes as a camper.

Today I would start at Langi Ghiran state park, where I camped last night and drive via Apsley to camp at Baileys Rocks campground tonight.

Nice “in plain sight” hide. Has me going for about 20 seconds. Thanks!

I was initially looking in the wrong spot but widened my search and signed the log

Thanks

Finally I was able to get back on the road, after 2 years and 3 cancelled trips. 7 days on the road, into SA and back to VIC via Mildura. Portland was the first destination, the second time I have stayed here. Was good to be able to take a good look around this time.

This was number 7 for the day.

I looked for this one back in 2018 but had no luck. I was definitely looking in the wrong spot.
After waiting for the bloke mowing the lawn to move on I made a quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick find on the way to Ararat

Nice hide in behind. TFTC

Found it! I’ve driven through Glen Thompson many times and today we actually stopped. This was a quick find, just needed a break in car traffic. These memorials are very important pieces of history in these towns. TFTC SL

Quick little drive by, returning home after a few days of camping and geocaching around the district. TFTC

On our way to SA for Xmas and have been needing the Southern Grampians LGA for years for a challenge I'm working on. Was very pleased to make a quick find here today.

Found . Like others we thought we knew where it would be. The name of the cache should have been a clue!

Loved the little blurb for this one. Very practical.

Thanks for getting us to stop here. TFTC

A long awaited road trip, originally planned for the Millicent Mega weekend. However due to possible SA border issues, we’re only doing the Vic sections. Joined by Papi4506 & Geoturtle37, RoamingHowie and I are finally on the road to adventure!
Day 6: Hamilton to Home.
Having already found most of the caches in the area, Papi4506 & Geoturtle37 decided to head off in a different direction.
Search and search and search and nearly gave up and then RH read logs and one of them gave us a tiny indication as to where we should’ve been looking. Went back. There it was.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, South-West

Day #6 and the final day of the adventure in Western Victoria. All packed up and set for a gradual return home caching along the way. From Hamilton to Melbourne via Dunkeld and some other locations yet to be determined.

Having completed a few of these already we went to where we expected to find the cache and didn’t. We searched nearby for a bit but certain the cache was missing (and noting recent mowing) we returned to the car about to DNF it. After reading a few logs we thought we might actually be on the wrong track. Returning to the area we saw the cache staring right back at us. In fact there are two caches there! Sometimes it’s dangerous to assume you know the hide… and by sometimes I mean always.

Thanks South-West for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Driving from Melbourne to Dunkeld and grabbing the odd cache along the way. TFTC.

We were the first to write on this log

Even though we did this back in 2017, we came back so that I could re-sign and log this cache. Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Found on my second attempt. Very good. TFTC

Found at 1230hrs. Spotted by my eagle-eyed wife! Stopped on the way home after our inaugural trip away in our new motor home!
TFTC

Fun, adventure, travel, history, geology, mental stimulation, social gatherings, support and friendship are just some of the elements of geocaching.

Out and about enjoying the opportunity to grab a few caches, yours being one of those I targeted on my journey today. Thanks ??

Thanks South-West (F=595 H=69) for placing this cache and adding to our game.

Tricky!

Thought this one may have gone missing but happy to find it intact. Great little hide. TFTC.

Checked cache and replaced log

No luck today looked on all places that a magnet can stick
