What can I say , this took way longer than it should have! Mr Suelee must take off his sunglasses before declaring an area clear . Thanks for bringing us here Tftc

Found

TFTC don’t look for the obvious, widen your search

Just had a game of golf here, so made sense to look for this one. Tftc

TFTC ! Couldn't sign the log book properly as the marker I was using died so only got my initials JY, but found with my friends L.B and B.B on 12/01/22

Mr Morris has a few weeks off but with border restrictions we thought we'd do a slow lap of Victoria while we had some good weather. With the van in tow we didn't try and stop as we travelled.

After 3 nights in Brim and a couple in Woomelang we headed to Piangal for a few nights. We spent a short day around Nyah and surrounds.

I spent a lot of time out here as a child, my dad was a very keen shooter and I was worried I was going to be here a long time searching but the gods were kind and Mr Morris spotted it very quickly. A nice hide.

The caches around Swan Hill are of a very high standard and this is one example. I got lucky and found the cache quickly but it could have taken me a lot longer. This is a truly great hide.

FOUND STRAIGHT AWAY!!!! Super excited tried to find a little while ago and came back today and got it. Signed the new LOG and put it back.

Went out and checked on this cache and it is still there. Just sitting there and waiting to be found.cheers and good luck.bye.

Haven't been out to check on this little brighter as yet. But will soon.cheers.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We think it is still there.

Messaged owner pics. Absolutely found the vessel. Will assist with cache maintenance in coming days if CO is happy for us to assist.

Was worth the walk in for the exploration of the detritis of society from the last 50-`100 years lying around. Old camp/settlement?? Fascinating.

Golf course closed post rain. Pistol club due to COVID. As a VP of a gun club I was pleased to see it wasn't actually on Pistol Club grounds. Interesting spot.

DNF'd during our COVID 2020 Murray River trip. While Melbourne was in a state of turmoil rural Victoria was still okay, and with 4 weeks leave, and all the borders closed we decided the only warmish place in Vic was going to be as north as we could get. After a decade or so travelling north and west we started on the trips we'd left til later - the Murray River. Starting from East Gippsland we got to Wemen out of Robinvale before they announced Victoria was going back into Stage 3. Now we're working our way back home and avoiding Melbourne. Found this along the way. TFTC. DJ

Unfortunately couldn’t find but for some reason by what has been said I feel like the coordinates might be a bit off.
Thanks though

Suscoe was out and about today enjoying the sunshine of the Swan Hill region.
It was a cold morning with temperatures around zero but the day turned out to be perfect with little or no wind and clear skies all day long.
We were impressed with the ever changing countryside with the town, orchards, crops, grazing animals, the river, beautiful trees and green pastures.
We found a good range of caches and enjoyed the finds.

Thanks to Sparra0907 for this nice hide, all good here today and very, very quiet.

Day 2 of my quest to complete the Mystery at the Museum souvenir challenge.
This was actually a very quick find for me surprisingly, as it was peeking out of its hiding spot. Soon had log signed and returned. TFTC

Woomelang to Nyah staying at the trotting club.
After setting up camp we headed to get some fuel & to look for a couple of caches.
After finding Drink Up this was next on our list,Piss till dawn we thought you ment, Sneaky hide & this lives up to its name. FP given
Thanks for placing this cache Sparra0907

Having just got back from Tassie on the 5th of this month, Caching down there aswell, this hide was a surprising [for me anyway] immediate find in the first place I looked. Many a hide similar to this were found in Tassie so my mindset was 'on' today upon discovery of this hide

I loved the container, what a classic

The cache and contents are fine and dry [^]

TFTC. We were returning from the cemetery and decided to attempt this one. We entered from their Golf Couse . Lucky for us there were no golfers about. We followed a track to end up near a tee-off. A short walk . A search and more searching. All of a sudden I saw something not quite right. A great use of this for a cache hide. brilliant!

Had a few hours to spend caching in and around Nyah today and this one looked interesting.
Went to the gates of the pistol club but that was a fair walk when you are pushed for time. Found an easier way to access it that involved a much shorter walk.
Wandered around for a while and couldn't see anything at GZ. Mr Beetle eventually wandered over to help and found it straight away. Don't you hate that????
Sometimes I feel the person with the GPS is at a disadvantage once you are in the general area.
Haven't seen this container used as a geocache before.
A nice hide and a favourite point from us.

Following a wonderful bike ride around the NSW border regions,
I had some time up me sleeve to head out this way again
Very quiet on a Monday arvo [^]

And at GZ,
I soon scored an eagle [:o)]
That is indeed a high calibre cache [^]

While waiting to attend a funeral nearby, I had to make this find, as I had heard on the grapevine that it was a little bit unique, well thanks to Sparra0907, it has lived up to expectations, even though somewhat different to what I thought I would find, I parked at gate to Pistol Club, and had to walk cross country for 568 metres, made the find , but left my writing implements in my car, so back to grab a pen and found a shorter way in and out, I did need the exercise though, Thanks Sparra0907, a well destructed bit of a somewhat different hide, also worthy of one of my favourite points

A very quiet day here and a quick find.
A fav point for the uniqueness and effort gone into making this cache.

Our final day around the Western Riverina & Mallee with interesting history and country towns. Looking at the number of green boxes and blue question marks still showing up on our geo-map, we will be back, hopefully, sooner rather than later, looking for cleverly themed caches such as this. dropped in a FP.

Thanks 'Sparra0907' for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Camping on the river at Nyah for Easter and great to do some caching thanks for all the nearby caches and the history of the area. about to give up but my small bore shooting hubby spotted the camouflage TFTC

Found it a bit of a goose chase. Very good hide. TFTC SL

Love it! What a great one!

With Fitzy_1965 we headed off towards the Murray River near Swan hill. Lots of driving with great river banks to be explored on four rivers along the way. Day 3. After a cockatoo filled night at Chah Singh Reserve we headed further towards Swan Hill, via the Wakool River and Toolybuc. We after a dash to the outskirts of Swan Hill we ended up camping near Nyah on the Murray River, no cockatoos this time.

Thanks.

15,185. Found during a long weekend run down through the Lockhart, Jerilderie, Deniliquin, Moulamien, Tooleybuc and Nyah regions with Albida33.

After camping down by the river near the cache Chah Singh last night, we packed up and continued along our planned caching trail. This was the next find for the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for putting out their caches !

TNLN - TFTC !!

In Nyah for a couple of days getting a few caches today, replaced the wet log sheet. TFTC

I just love finding unloved cached. Sparra0409, this was a cool hide. I walked in circles, cursed my fluctuating gps, I even kicked some tin, half expecting a brown snake to come out and say hello. Luckily I didn't see any. Then I returned to where I was being told to go for gz. I concentrated and employed some jedi mind tricks then, so obviously the cache's home revealed itself. I would hate to go pistol shooting with you if you are shooting these crackers. Well done and thanks.

Muddy and wet but a happy find. Tftc

On the way home from Mildura where we attended the 4 months to the Surf Coast Event over the weekend and enjoyed many local caches that I had the opportunity to discover.
More rain, drove and parked on the access road to the golf course, no golfers today. Great container this one, took a little while to find as we were busy looking in other things.
**Thanks for placing this cache Sparra0907**

We picked this cache up at 12:41pm. We nearly got the car bogged on the very wet and slippery path. In the end walked in and hunted around. We should have tracted where the GPS's were pointing, but after widening the search area, we came back in and spotted something al ittle out of place. The cache was in had not long after that.

It was time for the slow journey home from Mildura via Swan Hill and Echuca, so not the direct route.... I joined BernieH and MuggleWifeDoes in their car, since the train trip home would have been awful and taken from 10pm to 6:10am (yuk). It rained the whole way, we didn't turn the wippers off once. Every cache involved pulling out the raincoats, so there weren't too many stops.

Thanks for the cache Sparra0907.

TFTC Great hide did not take us long to spot it and a surprise.

Geez this one took some finding. Loved the different hide. Looked here lots of times before deciding they're was nowhere Else it could be.

Tftc! Lovely walk with some bouncy friends!

The flags were up and the shooting range was busy.
Thanks for a clever cache hide. TFTC

Four days to spend caching is cool but what was even cooler was that Moneydork and Tounga allowed me to tag along too as they headed for Victoria Sadly, geobrother couldn't make this trip so with just us three the car was much quieter than normal
Day 1 today as we drove to Shepparton and there were 3 DNFs and 33 finds all up prior to our reaching the hotel aout 11pm. [)]

This cache made us smile, once we had worked out how to get into it and had found it!
Clever and cute camo [^]
Well played cache indeed!
