Snail Trail Mullengandra, New South Wales, Australia
By jacko* on 16-Jun-17. Waypoint GC77DX0

Not sure if we found a trail or not. After a good 20 minutes of looking high and low, we did find lots of pieces on the road that may have been a snail. No log to sign so logging as a DNF

Quick find, thanks.

Cute little hide

Tftc!

No hint needed.Tftc

Very nicely crafted. A great container in good nick. Had the rest stop all to ourselves, on the way down to Geelong, from Canberra. A solid reason to stop and stretch the legs a bit. Cheers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their long lasting, and ongoing connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to Traditional Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Picked this one up on our way. Thanks for the cache

I was driving home Melbourne from Canberra at short notice due to a family thing. I stopped here in the dark; it was a quick and easy find.Thanks for the cache, jacko*!

Fun road trip find. TFTC

Wonderful find Spudnic

What a great way to start my two weeks of Annual leave. I decided on a Geocaching trip down to Holbrook to find all the lone unfound caches, along the way. I left early in the morning, and found majority of caches on the to-find-list. I ended up in Holbrook by 11am, which I decided on having an early lunch. After lunch, I headed down south for a couple of other caches before starting to head in the home direction. All up, I end the day with 26 finds which was made up with 24 GC and 2 GCA caches. It was a great trip and day out. There were many types of hides, containers, and sizes, which lead to varying difficulties to find. Most were quick finds and all were in good condition. TB visit. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy. TFTCs! Another great hide today and now I completely understand the name of it. A great little cache that you don't usually see as a rest stop cache. Thanks for something different and now time to start heading northbound to get home.

Found with Bullash on 2 March 2024

Just driving back home from Gosford with geokid and thought would stretch legs and quick find thanks

Not only a nice cache, but placed very well. Conveniently away from muggles with a short walk to help us recover from a long drive. TFTC jacko*

Heading down to Albury today and decided to stop here for a driver revivor and cache finding opportunity.The cache was readily located, log signed and replaced as found.TFTC, jacko*

Easy find

I promised the geobrats a surprise if we managed to find ten caches today and we were on eight, so the pressure was on to find two more child-friendly and accessible caches. This one was perfect on both counts. The geokids were quite delighted by the container and we were quickly back in the car for "just one more"

I stopped here for a breather and to stretch my legs. It's a nice cache in a good location that's a short walk from the parking spot. I walked through a huge spider web on the way to the cache, but thankfully, it was only the bottom part of the web, and I saw the spider scurry away to the top of its lair.

Pitstop on my way to Aubury I was going to have an early lunch here but proper for my van was non existent..so didn't want to bunker down for too long only enough to grab this cache.

Well that Snailed it!TFTC

My daughter and I left Brisbane on Wednesday night, and made it to Canberra after friday after a stop to see her brother in Sydney on Thursday noghtAfter a few days at the Canberra Mega we headed to Melbourne for a family birthday party.After our second night in our accom I was up early while she caught up on sleep and picked up a few early morning caches. We then hit the road with a view to picking up at least one cache in each LGA .Found a safe place to park and was soon at ground zero where the cache was quickly located. Log book signed and back to the car and off on the next challenge.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.

Found

Reperio 14:19The family and I were headed down to Melbourne today for a couple of days, and had a little bit of time spare to stop by a few caches along the way. This was a small detour off to swing by this one, and the cache was picked up after a short search.Gratias jacko*As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Sydney Courier Run!Day Three: Goulburn to BarhamWeather: sensational. An 18kg snail is a frightening concept!When I lived in Sydney, a trip down the Hume to Melbourne was a regular occurrence. There was no freeway between Tarcutta and Albury back then, and a lot of the drive today is unrecognisable to me. I guess this is a remnant of the old highway here. Nice spot to break the journey, thanks for this cache jacko*. A favourite, mainly for the interesting snail facts!Its officially a megaGCA1DNA The Great Leap ForwardAdelaide, South Australia February 29, 2024Wed love to have your company.

Quick find to a good hint. Cache and logbook are dry. No room for SWAPS or drops. SL TFTH TFTC Cache replaced ready for next cachet.

Quick find on my way home. Cache OK

Shell be right there for next trip! Nice hide!

What a fun little find! Good spot to stretch the legs and let me get my NSW badge on the Hume! TFTC! #25

Found while taking a break and stretching our legs, love the cache, Thanks for giving us another reason for stopping here, TFTC and the fun

Jsem po t dnen cest dost unaven, tak asi brzy zalehnu.I drive today a long way from Canberra through Yass to Ballarat in Victoria. Together 820 km and was hot and very sunny. I found some caches on the way like this one. Late afternoon I make a short detour and found the oldest cache in Victoria with fantastic view to the valley. In the evening I arrived to Ballarat and stopped at another old one (Medievil) and saw my first live small cangaroo there. So I spend a nice day. Thanks for all caches and greetings from Czech republic.

I thought this was an out of the way spot but, just as I zeroed in on the cache, a vehicle exited the nearby gate. Probably wondered about the strange dude rummaging around on the side of the road.

Such a unique and well thought out cache. #5 on our NSW trip from Geelong VIC to purchase a car which happened to be in Sydney. Thanks!

Nice opportunity to stretch the legs.Accurate coords and in good condition. Thanks for placing it.

A quick and cute find with frmen1. Gave us a small stretch of the legs. TFTC

Found with Geo hubby after staying for a night at Holbrook. jacko*, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area. This creative cache similar to ours but different lid

So much fun.I get why its called snail trail.

Good excuse to stop, lots of fans for this one an d we can see why! TFTC

TFTC - this was something different I didn’t sign the log as I couldn’t get the container open. Attached photo as proof of find

Heading back from Canberra to Melbourne, I saw that this cache was in the perfect place for a rest stop. Thanks from D B-A

Fresh log has been added.

Quick stop, log and drive. Tftc

Very cute indeed. A quick pit stop in between rain showers.
Added more paper in a snap-lock bag. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze!

*The generic bit for today's logs*
Spent the night in Bathurst but didn't do much caching there due to the rain and it being 5 degrees when we left! Rained most of the way home, so picked a few caches here and there to find. Heading south... it's the last day of our trip 'north for warmer weather': North East Victoria to Central Queensland, via Curtis Island! Just under 6500kms of caching, chatting and avoiding the cold! We have enjoyed the great variety of caches along the way. Thank you to all the COs who maintain them for us to enjoy.

On way home to Victoria when had stop not sure who is winning the race think its the snail.
Signed log on side as the log is full
Thanks for placing the snail

Stopped as we headed homeward from a weekend of dancing in Holbrook. Cache found easily. Log full so signed down the side. TFTC

Needs a new log

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Out and about today to head to Albury. It was a little hard to open so had to get some help from my Chauffer.
It was an easy find, but the Snail was giving up no secrets, her log was very full and does need to be replaced sometime in the not do distant future.
I did enjoy this one...

Found it, signed it, replaced it, then ventured on to a train venue.

Thank LilDonna and Chauffer.

I went to Holbrook to meet a friend for lunch and collected this one on the way home. The log is full and I think I signed the wrong date along the edge

Travelling from Canberra to Melbourne and caching to break up the trip. A quick find today. TFTC

TFTC, An easy find thanks to previous logs, GJ.

Nice one

Today is the tenth day of the Sims_family/Dromaniax big road trip to Queensland and back again.

We are towing a very big trailer, which was chockers, but when you have a mission, someone else is paying for the fuel, and there is the opportunity for nine days of caching fresh fields, you jump at the chance.

We have a long list of target caches and hope to cross quite a few goals off the list on this trip.

We were on the final stretch home and planned to pick up a cache in NSW and one in Vic, you can never have too many two states in a day combos.

This one was conveniently placed right next to the highway, a five-minute stop, and we had a nice quick find of a cache in great condition.

Thank you jacko* for this Traditional cache.

What a great cache! Thank you

We continued today our tour in NewSouthWales, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.

The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.

The cache (1.5, 2.0) had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.

Thanks to jacko* for the generation of this nice cache Snail Trail (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.

PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.

Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

At Rutherglen with Jennyfromthefarm

This one was cool. Nabbed it after going through Holbrook and failing the big fish. TFTC

Found on the way to the Rutherglen mega. Parked 40m from GZ and made the walk up the hill for a quick find. Creative container construction, love it! Good place for a rest, TFTC jacko*!

Easy find on the way to the Rutherglen Mega.

Departed southward bound at a reasonable hour on a cool sunny Wednesday morning for a 3 day geocaching adventure. With no hurry to get anywhere and the final destination a 5 or so hour drive away, there was plenty of time to pick off a few convenient caches along the way. Stopped for a quick bite to eat in Gundagai before continuing through to Holbrook, collecting a number of well overdue partially solved hides. On approaching Rutherglen I diverted to some of the surrounding dirt roads for as many previously solved mysteries as I could find. Continued with these until after a glowing sunset sunk below the horizon, when I turned towards town and meandered into the oval campground. Having quickly set up camp I wandered around the site on foot for a few more nearby finds. Dining later under the stars I soon slipped into a comfortable sleeping bag, chatted online with the kids back home then shut my eyes for what turned out to be a decent night's sleep.

Up sooooo early for a dazzling sunrise display and preparation for the day ahead. First up was the Mega Opening Ceremony, mingled with a quick sighting of 'Signal' and a few fellow Canberrans who had also travelled down from the nation's capital. Today was GeoArt Wherigo day, along with a few other randoms caches here and there. It was a marathon effort in the end, 108 Wherigos found and signed, a lunch time event attended, a few surprisingly difficult recently published caches in Cowra, and a whaling virtual from a bridge. Finished off the evening with a crunchy chicken burger at a semi local food establishment. Driving back to Rutherglen I pulled over to chat again with the family, before continuing quickly to the campground and straight to bed.

Woke Friday morning pleasantly surprised to find everything hadn't been washed away. Don't recall the rain stopping at all overnight, but always relaxing when listening and falling asleep to the pitter-pattering of the rain from above. Headed straight out for a quick letterbox circuit and then to hopefully complete the Wherigo Easter series. Plodded away slowly but surely through wind and rain and occasionally sunshine. Passed by the odd cacher and recklessly speeding local here and there, but again the roads were for the most pretty much empty. Noticed the three Wherigo DNFs from yesterday had promptly been replaced by the CO, so happily I diverted back to pick up all three, finishing off the full 154 'Easter 2023' Wherigo series. With a grin of satisfaction and sigh of relief I returned to town to attend the GPS Adventure Maze. Impressive as always, appreciated the hard work in setting this up. Three from fours Australian mazes now successfully negotiated, how far I wonder will they continue to go? Poked around the Gadget Adventure Labs for an hour or so, again catching up with a number familiar faces from home. As the afternoon continued time was starting to press, so said my goodbyes to anyone who listened and after a few more selected caches on the edge of town started my journey home.

Thanks to Geocaching Victoria, cache owners near and far, fellow geocachers, volunteers everywhere and to everyone else involved in this great activity, for without their help none of the above would have been possible.

Any specific details related to this geocache listed at the end of log, whether relative, interesting or not. TNLNSL TFTC

Wow lovely just on way to mega event quick stop by Here TFTC

Favourite from me

A quick find while stretching out legs on the way to the Mega. Deserves a favourite point from us.

Trying to catch up with some late logs, prior to dropping off Travel Bugs at the Rutherglen Mega.

Found this cache, while staying around the area. A nice hide while stretching the legs.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find.

Heading south to Kinglake today and stopped by to claim a find in a new LGA. Clever cache!

What a year Sandyofthesea and I have had. We kitted out the Prado and took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April 2022 to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. We started with the Nullabour, Eyre and York Peninsulas, the Riverlands, visited family in Victoria and then back in SA it got cold. Flinders and the Oodnadatta Track was amazing and we finally warmed up in Dalhousie Springs. The Alice beckoned and then a change of plan and we ended up tackling the Tanami Track to the Kimberley and Bungles Bungles. Territory Day in Darwin was unhinged - please try and do it! The Gulf, the coast and the car breaker ‘Old Tele Track’ to the top of Cape York. This is a must but it’s not easy! Eventually made it to Brisbane to get some fixes to the car….. let’s see where we end up.

jacko*, I found Snail Trail today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Well made

On our way to the victorian event stopped at this one with a police presence across from the cache. Don't know why. But all good. Kutgw

Found with Tankengine and Youban on our way to the Whittlesea Mega.

We were met with a couple of cop cars, undercover cop car and cop van with a table set up and they had blocked the “in” road behind the toilet block. Not sure what they were doing, guess we will never know.

At least the cache was quick and easy to find. Tftc!!!

Thanks for hiding this cache jacko* for me and others to find.

Cool

We love these caches! TFTC.

Quick find on our way to Melbourne. Thanx

Travelling from SYDNEY to Melbourne, stopping to find this cache. TFTC

On a road trip from Sydney to Geelong for my daughter’s imminent baby, traveling with my geodaughter, and what better way to break up the journey but to pick up a few of the many caches available in between the two cities!
We pulled in to find a bunch of caravan muggles residing in our way for a break. So I parked up a bit further down and walked back to the GZ and quickly found the quirky little hide.
