Mt Wycheproof Earthcache Wycheproof, Victoria, Australia
By GemmaSistema on 13-Jun-18. Waypoint GC7R5M7

Travelling from Ouyen to Charlton today, finding caches on the way. Dramatic boulders. This hill stands out on a flatter landscape. Answers sent. TFTC GemmaSistema.

Found on our trip home to Adelaide from Numurkah. Lovely town with a great bakery. Took a brief detour to Mt Wycheproof and the cache.Answers emailed. TFTC

Sir_Spectre and I went for a long weekend over to Victoria, we hosted some events and CITO's and was really impressed by all the people that made the effort to join us. Any caches that needed attention got it, with many log books being replaced or extras sheets added as needed.Logging with permissionThanks to all who placed and maintained caches for us to find

Sent answers only to discover I had already sent them in ages ago!Sorry for the delay in logging. Thanks for the Earthcache.

Logging with approval. Soved during the Coffee at Sunset event. The co was at the event and gave approval. Nice location for a earthcache. Found with Mogni. The plan this October Long Weekend was to head over to Victoria and host 3 CITO's plus host my first geocaching event, also increase my finds to 20 in at least 5 victorian LGA's. Given that we were caching in the country alot of km's were travelled. The weather was raining on and off all saturday including the night time but by luck all 3 events that day were dry. The first CITO ( and the cache of the trip ) was in Kaniva at the wetlands, the next in CITO was in Dimboola at one of the rest areas, and placing a future challenage cache then slowly making our way to wycheproof canavan park which was our accomadation for the weekend and then up to Mount Wycheproof ( the smallest registered mountain in Australia - at 43metres tall ) for my coffee and sunset event. Sunday started off with a early 630 am CITO in the Mount Wycheproof wetlands reserve ( sorry i did forget about daylight savings when i made the time for the event but it was a dawn and light still ). Now off to swan hill ( which is my least favorite LGA to cache in ) and then a few more LGA's and back to the tent in the dark well past dinner. Then it was slowly heading home via the silo arts works along the way and walpuep and then over the border to pinaroo and home. We went through over a milk crate of spare containers and got 2 and 1/4 garage bags of cans and bottles. Any caches that were found broken/cracked/etc were replaced and any full log books were replaced.

We arrived at gz for a sunset event and made the required observations for this earthcache. A great view, nice sunset and fantastic company. Tftc

We headed up to Wooroonook Lakes for a weekend camping adventure with some fellow geocachers. Headed out on Saturday afternoon with CracknLeeLee to grab a few local caches before the sunset event right here at Mt Wycheproof: the smallest mountain in Australia Thanks for the Earthcache GemmaSistema

A great spot for an EC. Perfect to visit at sunset and take in the views.

The beginning of a short trip to SA with ConnieandRic.Today was the long drive to Loxton from home.An AdLab and a few caches found along the way. Slipped the car into 2WD for the big drive up the mountain. Luckily the road was dry so there was no slipping and sliding.A surprisingly good view for such a small mountain.A nice break in the drive.Answers on their way (soonish)Thanks, Robmc.

A nice short stop on our way to SA with Robmc. How interesting to be able to name a unique type of rock as late as the 1990s. Loved the sculpture at the top too Answers sent and off we go to our next stop.

A very interesting mountain to climb, after playing golf at the nearby course. Interesting history that the mountain info boards provide as well. Tftc

Great views from atop the Mountain. Shame the weather didn't hold out.Thanking you for the Earthcache that you placed GemmaSistema

Magnificent view from a small Mountain.

Today I was in Wycheproof catching up with a dear friend for a coffee and a well deserved chat.As I was leaving I thought, you know, with it being about 32 degrees at the moment, it seems to be the ideal temperature to go mountain climbing.After acclimatising myself at basecamp for a while I took on the necessary sustenance, nourishment and hydration to tackle this fine example of one of Mother Nature's rocky behemoths.As I looked skyward, I gulped.Could I, a mere mortal man made of flesh and blood (some bone, skin, hair, dentine and other vitreous gel like substances), actually slay this beast today? Was I prepared for any sudden changes in weather? High above ground level the freezing upper reaches of the atmosphere could give me frostbite. Was I prepared? What about oxygen, do I need it or do I just go rogue and try to extract every O2 molecule using nothing but pure lung power?I felt the fear drape over my body, like a theatre curtain plunging uncontrolled from above onto the unsuspecting cast of a second rate Shakespearian production below. Was I good enough? I mean I know I am a bit of a machine (I know this as true as a bloke I played hockey against once called me a F#*&ing tool.....I knew what he meant) but could I succeed?Fear pervaded the air much the same way that the smell of buttered popcorn from the snack bar wafts through a cinema multiplex.I gulped.Then I coughed and spat out that fly that got into my mouth.I gulped again.Step by step I trudged upwards. Each time my foot came down I sought solid ground beneath it. I vowed I wouldn't end up a lifeless corpse like all those bodies before me that still litter this mountain. I had to push myself but with each step the task seemed more difficult. The thinning atmosphere, the change in temperature and the blizzards which seemed to appear out of nowhere then disappear into nothingness was wearing me down. With my mental state slowly degenerating, my physical self bearing pains, aches and the onset of frostbite and sunburn I thought I saw the light. Is it???? Could it be????? Am I imagining it?????YES! The summit. Praise the Lord and the double shot espresso that I had merely hours ago.As I gazed across the Mallee plains and pondered the treacherous return trip I decided to answer the questions required.Thanks for this cache. The terrain and difficulty don't truly reflect the challenges required for this cache. I'm off to have a Pimm's and lemonade and a cucumber sandwich and contemplate my achievement here today.

Date: 3 March 2024 Time: 12:29 pmFind #14866Last day of my Adelaide trip. Homeward bound with a few stops on the way.Nice spot to stop for lunch.Massive thanks go to GemmaSistema for placing this one.

Stopped here again after 3 years and once again enjoyed the views and had a sneaky photo with the big wycheproof sign.

A great view of the area.

I love travelling different roads and overnight camping in little towns. We stopped here to enjoy your earth cache and stayed in nearby Charlton. We have previously visited this mountain to enjoy the view and the shade under the nearby tree on a hot day. This trip was much wetter and we were focused on rocks instead of the view.Thank you for your earth cache.

A lovely stop on my way home from Mildura to South GippslandTftc GemmaSistema

Good

JTreeTrack2 and Dromaniax decided to take their muggle parents for a couple of days around North Central Victoria. We had lived near this area, and it brought back many good memories.We could find plenty of caches on our trip, and our parents enjoyed the trip immensely. We were blessed with fantastic weather that enabled us to enjoy a picnic or two while trundling around.We enjoyed visiting Whycheproof and were amazed at how this hill stands out from the surrounding countryside.Thank you, GemmaSistema, for this Earthcache.

Heading towards Longreach QOGM 2023, forgot to log this cache in the excitement. Answers sent thanks to Astro for sending them on my behalf

Thanks GemmaSistema for placing this cache and contributing to this great game. Happy trails, Deanside

A beautiful view from the top of the Proof. Interesting geology.

Found on a sojourn all around on the way to QOGM 2023. A fun jaunt with lots of dust, mud and starry skies.

Thanks GemmaSistema and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Quick stop as I cache my at home after working away for the weekend. I’ve been to Wyche a lot over the years as my father grew up here..he was enrolled in the local primary school but frequently tells me he spent most of his primary school yard wagging up “the mount”. TFTC!

Very cool that l can say that I've officially walked around Australia's smallest mountain. Picture of the nearby art piece.

Unusual formation in the wheat belt

We stopped by here on the way homeward this morning.
We haven't been through Wycheproof for a long time and had forgotten about the trainline up the main street and the delightful little mountain.
We were glad we made our way up the Mount and we enjoyed the views of the surrounding area as well as looking carefully at the rocks.
We have messaged the CO with our answers.
Thanks to GemmaSistema for this Earth Cache.
It was a delightful morning, mild weather and clear skies.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12262.

Today on my epic LGA trip through VIC and SA I covered just over 1000km and around 15 LGA’s. An impressive little hill. I gathered my details and then moved on. Our answers have been sent via the message centre.

Thanks GemmaSistema for the cache.

On our travels we stopped to grab this cache, wow what a fantastic spot the sculpture at the top is fantastic nearly as good as the view of the area, loved this spot thanks for placing this earth cache

Beautiful spot. Can't believe there aren't more caches in this area. TFTEC

Back in September

Quite an amazing site and great views of the completely different surrounding terrain. A nice place to stop and good to know I have scaled Australia's smallest mountain. Thanks for the cache.

Another fun earth cache and what a view. TFTC Gemmasistema

Found on the way home after publishing another lab cache and working on a 2nd. Answers to follow. Thanks For The Cache

Found on our silo adventure! Cook to know that we’ve visited Australias smallest mountain. Pinkpiggy7 will send the answers tonight!

We have travelled to Wycheproof to visit our daughter and help her pack up and move back to SA. This has been her home for 12mths as a graduate nurse in the two local hospitals.
We had some great meals in the local pubs and bakery and had to burn off the calories by climbing up the mountain.
The view from here was quite surprising. Thanks for bringing us here. Answered sent to CO.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. TFTC GemmaSistema
Find #8088 at 20:41.

Found on a day out caching with Wollaston in the last rays of the summer sun. Answers submitted. I remember many years ago making the trek and watching the local ‘King of the Mountain’ event. Competitors slung a bag of grain onto their shoulders and ran up the hill to claim the title. Lots of congratulatory beers were passed out to each of the boys and girls who attempted the challenge and they earned every drop

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Awesome small mountain! Thanks for bringing us here and for a great earthcache.

In the area today with Motndarg, we pulled up, admired the views, discussed the questions and formulated our answers. Thanks GemmaSistema for bringing us here, a view we wouldn't have admired if not for geocaching. We could see for miles today. Joint answers e-mailed!

Out with McLookers today. Drove up the mountain and checked out the necessary information for this Earthcache — see answers in McLookers log. Thoroughly enjoyed the 360 view . Thanks Gemma.

Found by The Empire
On my way to Mildura to cache with the gang! It may be a little hill but you can still see for miiiiiiles! I'll work out some answers and send them through, logging to keep my finds in order. Thanks for the earthcache GemmaSistema.

Earthcache #329

Smallest in the southern hemisphere, smallest in Australia, smallest in world? Have heard all the claims, I googled. Smallest in the world! Wow, there you go. Certainly puts the town on the map

Stopped up here to eat my pie from the amazing bakery near here.

Can’t believe this is my first time up here. Pretty amazing really and well worth the visit.

Saw a wallaby hiding on the rocks near by too.

A drive up the top is a must. Great art. Great view.

Tftc ticked off bucket l didn't realise it was on there the smallest registered mountain in Australia. Now have been to highest and lowest

We actually visited this site on our way home from a northern Victoria jaunt from the Victorian Alps to Tooleybuc. I’ve been to Mt Wycheproof previously, but before geocaching, so it was interesting to visit with a different view. I’m sure the visitor area has been developed considerably since I was last here. This mountain has much to attract the geocacher; a Traditional cache, a Trig point and an Earthcache! Even more interesting to me was that the university I went to, La Trobe, was instrumental in identifying and analysing Whycheproofite.

Found and answers being sent to CO. Good views from up here, and a great sculpture.
TFTC SL

I’ve been watching Dr Who since it first broadcast in Australia in 1963 in the only TV we had then B&W. I’ve grown up and aged with the series and quite used to the transformations. Each Doctor brings their own mark to the role and the program flexes with the change of the main character. Lots of different and renewed minor characters adds to the continuity of the program s. A similar pattern emerges with this series of caches. The containers are similar but different, making for anticipation of what the hide might be each time. They proved to be a great teaching series for us to show a new geocaching to the variety of hides you might find.

We are staying in Wycheproof for the long weekend, figuring no one else would want to come here. Our kind of place. The caravan park is great and cheap and there is a local pool. I have submitted my answers and hope they pass muster. Muggle husband's uncle used to be the Pesbyterian minister here so he knows the town well.

Mildura was a target caching destination for Spiffy- and I with the many art trails here and in S.A. Lockdown was the perfect opportunity to solve them all but we had to wait to visit. Finally a window opened up and together with geopartner the 3 of us headed off.

A random stop on our way home and a nice location. I had been here before so have again now cleared the caches here.

Enjoyed analysing these rocks and surrounds.

Thanks to GemmaSistema for the placement and fun.

Heading home now from our road trip to Mildura with Fleabag- via the silo art. We chose a good week for the weather, not too hot. Good to be on road trip, it’s been a while.
Had a couple of big days getting the Turtle and the Paddle Steamer series.
Fleabag has sent you are detailed answers. Even I was impressed with his detail!
Great view and a nice spot for a break up here.
Thanks GemmaSistema for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Found with my dad, day1976

Found whith my dad and my kids as I showed them the sleepy little town I was born in and I grew up in.

I left Wycheproof in 1986 and have only been back a handful of times since. It was nice to show the kids around town (I still knew my way around as I remembered from the days of riding my bike around these streets).

Interesting earthcache, I have submitted my answers and am humby awaiting the response from the CO.

Thanks for the earth science lesson.

Day 2 of the trip to Mildura, and we begin on the top of the World's Smallest Mountain. Great views up here, and this unique mineral formation is interesting to investigate.

Amazing small mountain in the world
Thanks for bring me here and earthcache

We left home at 7.30am, met some friends to go on a silo expedition today with a few extra stops. This was our 1st stop, introducing our love of Geocaching to our muggle friends and their children. TFTC

Out on a caching/camping adventure with OzHockeyChick, Papi4506 & GeoTurtle37. Currently road tripping on the way to Mildura. OzHockeyChick submitted the answers for us both! Thanks for the earthcache!

Answers submitted.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, GemmaSistema

I packed the ice axe and crampons for this ascent
The Wycheproof Alpineist's Club's website also came in handy,
with helpful details about the tricky route to the peak

I elected to take the easier route up the South Ridge,
which while not quite as technically challenging as the more direct ascent up the Broomstick Face on the north side of the mountain,
still provides the full alpine experience

Witch ever route you plan to climb by
only travel in small groups,
as a lot of climbers in a caravan will slow everyone down,
and probably mean a dangerous night time descent
Needless to say the weather today was forecast sunny with light winds.

With all the preparations,
the ascent went smoothly,
and with just a few fractions of an hour,
I planted the geocaching flag on the summit

Not as impressive as some of the flagpoles left by other climbing teams in the past,
but I wasn't here for glory,
there was geology to look at
Samples were soon located,
analysis completed,
and the results sent back to the CO's lab for assessment.

Thanks for the Earthcache.
Another peak bagged for now

A lovely view from up here.
Stopped by with +Wife and our GeoMutts, EveTheStaffy and MaxTheCollie.
Bonus three for one.
A very old trad, a trig point and thank you for the Earthcache GemmaSistema.
Logged with permission.

Thanks for bringing us up here. Quick stop for a kebab in the main street on our way back from Mildura and thought I would scout out the local caches.

We seen the earth cache and the unusual nature of the little mountain and thought hang the extra time to get home. We broke out the lederhosen after climbing ropes and we set off. We were not disappointed for a surprisingly short ascent we were afforded a magnificent view of the. surrounding plains.

After quite a break from doing earth caches, I have found that they aren't as bad as the ones that put me off.
This was another one that I enjoyed doing. Although we misplaced our answers, they have now been found. Phew.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Logging this here to keep it in order and so I don't forget but need to find where we wrote the answers. Must admit that we are loving earth caches so thanks for this one.

You can see for metres up here! An interesting spot up here though, and my answers have been sent.

SteMicMitSar and I headed to Mildura for the first day of our caching adventure to NW Victoria and South Australia. We had solved a number of puzzles in preparation for this trip but were also on the lookout for other caches of interest along the way. An interesting mountain and a few facts that I was unaware of to go with it.

**Thank-you to GemmaSistema for placing this geocache**

*Found on the 31 Dec 2019 @ 10:15 am.*

Day 1.
I headed out on a road trip with biggles1024, our first destination being Mildura.
We had a few target caches and series to concentrate on, this being one of them.
We had made a stop for the old cache next door and then decided that we had to find all the caches in Wycheproof so this one was next, who knew that Wycheproof had there own rock type.

**Thanks to GemmaSistema for placing this cache.**

Love an Earth Cache but Wow - it takes a geo tragic to come here for an ascent of Victoria’s lowest mountain on a day like today even if it’s only 41.2 degrees. So from highest to lowest I’m thrilled The wind has whipped up the soil and dust so visibility quite poor. A big plus post cache find is the discovery of the Turkish run cafe with most delicious fab borek and pistachio pastries! TFTC too

Round the world trip After the Silo Art Trail I am heading back to Melbourne. Found this Cache just fine.
Vielen Dank fürs legen und pflegen und beste Grüße aus Leipzig!
Thanks for hiding and many greetings from Leipzig/Germany!

As we headed from Wedderburn to Mildura today, we stopped at Mt Whycheproof to collect information for this earthcache. We had viisted this location some time ago but had not taken much notice of the geology. So the earthcache focussed our attention on a differnt aspect of the area. Answers to the questions ahve been forwarded to the CO. Thanks GemmaSistema for an interesting earthcache.

PS Mt Whycheproof is about 138m above sea level but Mt William in Tasmania is 112m above sea level. On the other hand, Mt William rises about 60m above the surrounding land compared to Mt Whycheproof rising 43m (as stated on the information board).

Kittykatch and I are on our way back from St Arnauds Mega and decided to pick up counties on the way. So here we are in Wycheproof climbing the worlds smallest mountain. Lovely views and a good place to stop.

Heading from St Arnaud to Swan Hill and collecting some caches along the way. Thank you to all the COs for the variety of placements and maintaining them so that we can enjoy finding them.

With some spare time before all the action starts in St Arnaud we drifted north in search of unfound treasures in uncharted areas.
We had previously visited this tiny mountain to find the trad here so we knew exactly what we were going to find up here, nice views of Wycheproof, a great sculpture and a tidy picnic area but we didn’t really take notice of the geology! Not this time! We read your information and learned about this particular rock that can only be found here. Great stuff.
Thanks GemmaSistema for the informative earthcache experience.

We have come to St Arnaud for the Mega event and are spending today wandering around the area picking up a few of the odd caches in the area. Our answers have been submitted. TFTEarthcache

We stopped past this earthcache on the way home from a night at the Quambatook Silo Cinema, where they were showing Crackerjack. A perfect trip for the maiden journey for our new Geo-Pod (JPod).

During the day yesterday, we had noticed there were other cachers in town - Treasuretrakas - who had commented in their logs that they were there for the Silo Cinema too. So when we got to the venue, we sent them a message and some co-ords of where we were sitting and bingo, they answered and we met up with them. By this morning, they had become our new geo-friends. After saying our goodbyes at the Quambatook Caravan Park, we went on our merry way, only to meet up again at this earthcache. After another half an hour chatting, we finally said our goodbyes again. Thank you for this earthcache GemmaSistema. A worthy place for one.

Stopped off to take a view from the top of the small mountain. A great little spot, and a neat. Sculpture at the top too. Enjoyed the little stop off and explore. Fingers crossed on the answers. “Gunks the Geologist”.....said no one ever!

I love coming up here. Altitude in a flat land! However i knew nothing about wycheproofite but I do now. Windy day u p here today ad 6hinemoa2 and I paused here this morning Sa bound. Thanks for a quick reply!

This was a very interesting EC and feathertop and I enjoyed working out our answers before sending them along to you for approval. It was nice to have such a quick response to them.
Really did enjoy the area and learning about Wycheproofite as I had never really heard of that mineral prior to this cache. Don't think that I will forget it either.

En route from St Arnaud to Swan Hill, of course it is important to program in a few breaks such as this, to feed our caching addiction and maintain a safe driving record.
Our first ever visit to this little mountain despite living in central Victoria for many years. Just to demonstrate what a mountain it was it was the top was above the surrounding fog!

Info sent to CO.

Thanks 'GemmaSistema' for the great effort of creating this Earthcache and encouraging us to learn more about the geology and history of places we visit.

Beautiful spot on a must mountain day

Heading into town, I soon found the smallest hill in Australia. What an awesome achievement. Nobody likes a tall poppy here anyway Thanks for placing the cache GemmaSistema, a great location!

Cache #140

Stopped for a break on my way to Bendigo, from Ouyen. Great views! TFTC

This was a great little detour from my road trip - A great view across the windy plains on the brisk day, with the vastness of space ringing in my ears.

Beautiful view on way to home.
Lovely location.
Sent the answers to CO
fav from me
Thanks GemmaSistema for the earthcache.

Catching up with a very late log.

We are heading up to Mildura to attend the 3 x3 events tomorrow and decided that it was time for a break to stretch the legs.

We have visited this mountain once before back in June 2004 for the trad that is still here. That was before earth caches and we weren't taking a lot of notice of what we were climbing over. This time we came with different eyes and appreciated the area far more.
The answers were collected and an email sent off to the owner.

Many thanks GemmaSistema, we really enjoyed our visit here and learning about the unique
Wycheproofite, a favourite point from us.

The last time I was up here there was not an Earth Cache here so this was a good excuse to stop by here and climb the smallest mountain for another photo opportunity.
I came up here on sunrise and took in the great views on offer and gather the information required
A fav goes out to you for placing this earth cache.
Thanks GemmaSistema TFTEC.

Great spot, Ducky-Legs grew up here

I lived in Wycheproof from 1982-83. My dad was the State Bank manager here and we loved coming up to the Mountain to play. At that time the annual King of the Mountain footrace was still being held. The men had to carry a 50kg bag of wheat on their back as they staggered up the mount. The reserve around the mountain had kangaroos and emus who liked to steal any food we had on offer.

Found fltf after confirmation with co

Thanks to GemmaSistema for the speedy response to our answers, logging with permission.
One this particular occasion we we off on an adventure with Ms_enchantress and her family, heading out to do the Silo Art trail then across to Border Town, up to Pinaroo to do that section of the Border Track back down to border town and then home to the beautiful green rolling hills of South Gippsland (a stark contrast at the moment to this brown barren landscape!)
Sorry for the copy and paste generic log, we had good intentions to write interesting ones but time has gotten away from us, thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches.

RamaTim and I decided to mark the momentous occasion of our 300th find by scaling the summit of Mount Wycheproof for this earthcache. This is a beautiful location and was certainly a good spot to celebrate. TFTC!

Found with Kelligula on our 300th find. If anybody asks I can tell them we climbed a mountain for this find (may leave out it was the smallest mountain in Australia). TFTC

Found on the way home from Wagga for a wedding! What a cute little mountain! TFTC

Passing through Wycheproof today, we were attracted by this EC. Lovely views in all directions from up here, and some art and a trig point to boot. What a cute dwarf-sized mountain this is!
We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the rocks and the trees, but we were on a mission. Inspected and discussed the rocky features and took a few photos. Before we left, a couple of muggles arrived, and soon we were being stalked by a drone. Don't like the mozzie noise they make, and don't enjoy their company while we are exploring The Great Outdoors. Guess we are getting old ...
We made it all the way up to the summit of this mountain - and overlooked the fact that a trad hide is available here as well. Hmm, must mean we'll have to come back and enjoy the views again. Drone-free, hopefully.

Harry, Rex and I headed off towards Berri and on the way, via a slighly circuitous route, we found 18 caches in some great spots, had 3 DNFs and even managed a FTF too
Found the 1st cache at 15:09 on the 23rd and the last cache at 2:07 on the 24th after a peaceful overnight drive
Such a nice feeling [^] to be heading back to spend some quality time with some much loved [:X] SA people

Rex and I climbed Australia's smallest registered mountain, saw some beautiful park areas[^], read some history lessons [^] and even had to PAF a CO (hi geobro ) as I'd messed up the coords on a multi in Mitiamo

As I have been about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
