Unable to do this one as they were loading grain

nice & easy find for the hubby . maybe some silo art in the future

On our way to Swanhill dropped in to grab this one. Kutgw

Chooo ooo [Found] with youban and dty73 on our trip to SA to attend the Leapyear mega!Thanks Sparra0907!

Day 6 - Tankengine, Youban and I are finally on our way home today. We have had a lot of fun in Adelaide and enjoyed our time here. Today we thought some inner city caches while the could be less muggles, then grab a few on our way to Swan Hill, where we are staying the night. This cache: Wow I liked this place. Except for the dead kangaroo. Stinky things they are. The cache was quick to find and sign and then we were off again. Tftc!!!

A nice quick and easy find on a pleasant afternoon drive around the area. They should paint their silos out here. Thanks for the cache.

Nice and easy quick find found it in the first place I looked

The three of us were heading to Northeast Victoria, and stopped here to find this cache.Teen Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - while Mr Tardis was looking elsewhere.Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Sparra0907.

We were in Swan Hill to assist with the fireworks for the show tonight and as we had off loaded everything at the storage facility we had a free day to do what we wanted before starting to set up so obviously caching it was.

Given our occupation we just had to try this one purely because of the name and it was also another interesting site to visit. Once at gz all you could hear was pigeons cooing from inside the building making one hell of a noise there certainly must be a lot of them in there. The GPS had us in one spot without any luck but reading a previous log we soon found it very quickly and happily added our name to the log and return everything as it was
Many thanks for another history lesson and a nice cache hide

On our way to Berri in South Australia

GPSr had me at corner of building... eventually found it 8m away..

Nice quick find here, it was visible from the car, tucked it back a little further after signing the log TFTC

No fires or wheat seen. Good hide!

A mega jaunt with endeavour3 saw us caching this cache and writing in the log, then we moved on. A lovely place to explore.

Thanks to Sparra0907 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific.

Making the most of Holidays and being able to travel. I decided on a 4 day trip that seen me head up to Swan Hill then down via Lake Boga, Kerang, Koondrook, Cohuna, Leitchville, Mt Terrick Terrick NP, Corop, Colbinabbim Rushworth, Whroo and finally Nagambie (then back home to St.Arnaud). Lots of back tracks taken and lots of dust to clean out of the ute. It was over 1250km travelled and flying solo on this trip I had lots of fun finding the caches.

I took a couple more wedges out of my 360Deg “finds from home” map and ticked off a couple of caches that I have heard about that were on my “to find” list.

There was a huge Variety of caches found from bird boxes to Fridges, Wall mountable tool boxes to Eclipse tins, with the odd ammo can thrown in. A couple of head scratching gadget caches chewed up some time but will be memorable for time to come. Numerous puzzles that I had solved i managed to find and I even managed to make good on a couple of DNFs, and add some more DNFs to my list. Even though I was out on my own I still had to use a couple of PAFs to get by. Thanks guys.

Quick find.

Allowed out again, so made the most of it and went to have a look around the old school site & find a couple of caches whilst there.
Had to pretend we were just looking at the silos & train tracks for the sake of a muggle- then a pretty easy find. TFTC

Found with tassie expat while exploring this nice area. Travelling the back roads between Mildura and Echuca, it's a great opportunity to stop and look at some of these out of the way places. That the cache hadn't been found in almost a year is testimony to how rarely this region is explored. Thanks for placing it, It's in good condition.

Geocache. Sanitise. Repeat.
Another super quick find on our way to Echuca. TNLN TFTC

Good excuse to stretch legs on the way home from working away. Thanks for the find

Found while travelling home from working away. TFTC

A little nervous to venture over here it being on private property [Railways or Grain Silo mob] i'm sure, i bit the bullet anyway and made a much welcomed quick find in the 1st place i inspected [^]

This was found as part of our wandering of Aust
thank you Sparra0907 for placing the cache

With so much space I checked the logs but in the end it was quite logical and easy.

After attending the St Arnaud Mega Event , now in Swan Hill and district for a couple of days. Travelling through the countryside and finding caches along the way. Thank you to all CO's for placement of the caches. TFTC.

While in Swan Hill for a few days, taking a day trip out to Sea Lake for some caches and silo art and doing it before the weather heats up in a day or two. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches we visited.

Cruising the back roads of Swan Hill today,
took me out Pira way

Here I found an impressive group of structures to wander around.
Sadly they are no longer used for their original purpose and stand silent now [:o]
Blame improved road transportation to larger central hubs,
and the rise of "on farm silage" for the closure

Nobody around,
so the cache was found after a 10 minute poke around
Coords seem to be about 15 metres out,
but the cache is there on the northern side

TANKS for the cache

Great weather to be out and about to the west of Swan Hill, following a cache course set by our fellow Geelong cachers Suscoe. Too dry for slippery roads but not quite dry enough for dust!
Another very quick find, as the cache was out waiting for us out in the open. Returned a little more discreetly after signing.

Thanks 'Sparra0907' for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Suscoe was enjoying a day out around the Swan Hill area in the very good company of Phetlern.
It was a delightful spring day with clear skies and bright sunshine.
A perfect day for caching.
The country side looked pretty good but it appears dry and the roads we quite solid to drive on.

Thanks to Sparra0907 for this hide, it was on the ground when we arrived and so signed it and then popped it back behind something to hide it.

Nyah Day 2 staying at the trotting club.
Today we planned a trip south of Nyah, this was a great way to visit your area.
The cache locations were varied & a variety of containers found.
We found this container on the ground, we have read that all the previous finds said that GZ was out.
We replaced it close to GZ. Found a TB here
Thanks for placing this cache Sparra0907

After reading previous logs, we widened our search and could see the cache from below. We send geodad up the wall to make the grab after talking the kids out of climbing up to get it. SL and replaced. TFTC

TFTC. Provious logs had warned us that the co-ordinates were wel out. We searched and expanded the area and shifted sides of the structure. Eventually I saw something strange. Climbing it was not the cache. But before descending I looked around and there it was. Signed and returned.
This cache is at least 20 meters from the published co-ordinates. It is either cache creep or the CO need to adjust the co-ordinates.

With a free morning today, it's back to Pira we go
Was't sure about previous logs saying that the coords were out that much [?]
Anyhow we widened our search pattern a bit further
Pinky spied the device and with a really long streeeetch I had cache in hand
Waited for me arms to shrink back to normal, signed the log and replaced vessel back to were we found it

**Didn't spend much time looking for this one today**
**Unfortunately we have to record a DNF for this one as time was limited.**
**Thanks for placing the cache out here. We shall return another day**

This took quite a long search. We search further afield and yes co-rods
Were well out some 20plus metres. Finally had it in hand.
Thanks for bringing us here to this location.
Signed and replaced where found. TFTC

Dropped off "2nd to find traveller" tb. Happy travels little fella

Finally got it, took us ages to find it but once we found it we were very surprised FTF to, and the coordinates are waaaayyyyy out..... like over 25 metres out...

After extending our search area we lucked a find.

We searched high and low.... but no luck this time! With at least 15 black spiders found the light grew dim and we called it a day. Will return another day to find this one!
