Thanks for placing this cache. Great place to stop, stretch the legs and see some artwork
Heading up to Mildura with LittleBoss2, Sorceysal and Geo the puppy. This was an easy find, thanks again Sparra, great spot for a cache
Found with Bogonghazy, sorceysal and Geo dog. Heading up to Mildura for the week. Thanks Sparra0907 for placing the geocache
A week of caching and golf with bogonghazy and Littleboss 2 in and around Mildura and of course any smileys we can pick up on the way.Loved the artwork on these tanks. Thanks Sparra0907
Motorhoming around in winter and finding a cache here and there. We came in to check out the campground and quickly found this cache. TFTC
We visit Swan Hill, Mildura, Renmark, Barossa Valley, Victor Harbour, Tailem Bend and the last night at Ballarat. Stopped for few caches on the way to South Australia. We had a lot of fun travelling these roads and seeing the farms and wildlife along the way. We found a range of caches. Many thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.
Wear those sock guard protectors unless you want to spend time removing burs.
Date: March 3, 2024 Time: 10:15 AMFind #14865Last day of my Adelaide trip. Homeward bound with a few stops on the way.Massive thanks go to Sparra0907 for placing this one.
Needed to take Mr 3 for a drive to force him to have a sleep and thought we would venture over to Woomelang to collect the 4 caches. One down
Would love to head back here and camp some time! Home-base is way out east at higher altitudes so its possibly the first time travelling through here but when youre on a multi mission all roads lead to caching! Taking the long road to Mildura to meet up with geobuddies chasing a few LGAs too and apart from that its been interesting too. TFTC AND THE FUN!
A quick drive by to check out the camping site before heading to our usual stop! Woomelang is our favourite place! TFTC
With dot558 and after getting a frown at last one a quick grab was great.
Enjoyed the walk around the lake

We stopped at this lovely little spot for a break and some lunch on our way to Mildura. The murals are gorgeous, will keep it in mind for overnight or longer stops on our travels. Thanks for bringing us here.
Another interesting spot we visited in town today and it was nice to enjoy a short drive around town taking in some sights and a few caches to boot, probably the quickest of our finds in Woomerlang so far and it was quickly located and logged after a short wander from the car park. Thanks again sparra0609 for the hide.
Over in Woomelang to replace another cache up near the old railway station. So we thought we would check on this cache at the same time. Its all good to go. Its all nice and dry and still in the right spot. Log-book and swaps are all great and this cache is ready to be found again, by good lookers. Thanks & Cheers. The CO.
Love the paintings on the tank not so keen on the giant spider that is protecting this Geo, wriggly sticks don’t bother me, but spiders this size do…. Thanks for placing this in a tricky position to get to do
Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to Sparra0907 for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

In the area preparing for upcoming harvest had a short drive in the district. What a great camping/picnic area. Not being suitably attired to venture anywhere, decided I could cautiously advance safely the short distance to cache (wary of wriggly sticks).
Cache in good condition.

Catching up on logging. After spending a week in Adelaide then driving to Lascelles yesterday we set off bright and early this morning as we had a wonderful day of Silo Hunting and Street art discovering ahead of us! Wow this town is amazing I LOVED all of it!! The Water tank paintings are gorgeous and my mind was blown with the iron art - it is incredible!! We did a lap of the lake then found the cache.

A beautiful camping area that we may have to revisit one day. An abundance of artwork here with the incredible community iron art projects and the field bin art tour. Thanks for bringing us to another gem. TFTC
This one was a bit quicker for me thank goodness, thanks for all rhe caches today.
Considered camping here but weather was not kind, but we did find this cache . All good thanks Sparro0907
Found on a trip with a cpl DIRTBAGS,
Little Desert & Big Desert.
Cpl 4WD DRIVES with a plan for campfires,caches and sand dunes.

Couldn’t find the tanks but guess that was not the point of this spot. The nearby campers were watching us closely but definitely a spot to keep in mind for future.

Quick Find. Great a little camp free campsite. Not a person to be seen camping today
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 Sparra0907 (F=1143 H=222) for placing this cache and adding to our game.

Day #8 of the Birthday Bush Bonanza. It’s a miserable day weather wise across Victoria so a great day for some driving. I packed up camp early and said goodbye to the others. Today is about ticking some LGA boxes and hopefully filling another Ausmer spot on my grid.
There were a couple of caravans camped near here, but not enough to impede retrieving the cache or admiring the artwork.

Should have been easier than it was, as I was looking at it without seeing it. Also checked out the 2 field bin art pieces while I was there - love Jimmy Dvate's birds.
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 we headed to Woomelang for a couple of nights. After setting up camp at the fabulous free camping spot in town with power and showers we rested for a bit and then walked around town collecting the 4 caches.
A good spot for all the campers that missed out on the one in town. Love all the ironworks around the dams.

Family road trip with a few geocaches thrown in. This afternoon it was a cross country trip from Hopetoun to Kerang. Nice easy find here. Thanks for the cache. Great silo art!
Found at 6.00pm. We were camped here, enjoying the town and art. We watched the sunset an found a cache. Perfect.
Thanks

What a delightful spot and such beautiful artwork on the tank and all around this lovely town. Thanks for tempting me here Sparra0907
Out and about on a road trip with my mate. Looking at silo art bought us here. I was too busy loooking at the silos to worry about caches. When I did it was this one that cropped up tftc
A quick find on the way through the area, made use of the nearby facilities too. TFTC.
After my usually busy Christmas and Boxing Day I was able to hit the road for a 1 week break which I was looking forward to and I had plans on where I was going to.
Then a couple of muggle friends suggested we head away together and my plans changed for the first time.
So we had a trip planned to NSW and all was going great.
Then our plans were changed with what was happening in NSW so we picked a spot on the map and that was Hopetoun.
The silo art up this way is something that we had been looking at for a while so now we had our trip planned.
Came up through Nullawil and Sea Lake to see those silos then headed west to start the silos that I haven’t done yet and we stayed at Hopetoun for a few days to visit the rest of them.
It was time to head towards home but I was recommended to call in at Woomelang to check their art so I headed back this way.
This was my first stop and I was able to avoid the rain and go for a walk around this great spot.
The iron work art was great and the tanks looked fantastic.
The campground is one for the memory bank for a latter day.

TFTC. With regional victorians able to travel we decided to take the opportunity to head to Mildura to attempt the PS series. First we had to drive from Maryborough, so of course we stopped where we could find a cache. Thanks to all the cache owners. We will make special comments where applicable.
Cache was quickly found. We were impressed by the camping ground and will keep it in mind for another trip.

Seeing as we can now "Go for a weekend drive", sharkiefan came up for a visit and the plan was to go out and do the silo trail Adventure lab.
So heading home we decided to make a couple of stops for a few caches.
Hmmm a free camp area..... might be a good place for a stop after a long day caching....

Turned up quite quickly, log signed and returned and left a friend for the next visitor.
We're staying at the Woomelang Caravan Park for a few nights while we decide which way to travel next. After we ate the rather tasty burgers we had bought from the local convenience-and-everything-else store, I decided to go for a walk to check out the area and to find a few caches while I was out.
This area looks like it would be lovely if only we had a little more rain. The Cronomby Tanks are looking a little low these days.

Day 4 of my road trip with biggles1024 and today was time to head for home with only one task remaining for the return trip but also we were stopping at random caches along the way to break up the trip and to get different LGA’s along the way.
This town was a target as it was in a particular LGA that Mark was needing a find in.
As this one was just down the road from the last find, we decided to have a look for this one as well.
We headed over to GZ and Mark was onto this on quickly, log was signed on we were on our way.

Suscoe left home bright and early this morning.
Our destination was Ouyen via Underbool.
Lovely blue skies, pleasantly warm temperatures as the day passed and quiet roads.
Oh, and some really interesting caching locations and hides along the way.
Thanks to Sparra0907 for this hide.
All good here today, the place was so empty of any humans except for us.

When we travel, our route is planned largely by our passion for caching and the number of green/orange icons on the map which hopefully will become smiley tokens when we reach our destination.This is one of the interesting caches we found today as we travelled from The Bellarine to Ouyen.

We were really surprised when we arrived at this location. The first thing that we noticed were the superb murals created with metal. The colours and shapes of each of the metal pieces were combined with great artistic flair to create great images. Even the frames on each of the murals were created with the same skill. We enjoyed wandering around taking in each of the scenes. Oh, yes - there was a cache too. Accurate coordinates and a logical hide led to a quick find. the cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Sparra0907 for bringing us to a great location and for the cache. It earns a favourite for the location.
Looking at heading up this way only to be told "we've found those, they are probably more that you haven't logged". As it turns out, that is exactly what has happened. I was caching with Papi4506 who has thankfully mentioned me in his log so I know I was present at this find. I have also logged it on the day of the find from his logs. Thank you for the cache and huge apologies for not doing it earlier.
Thanks for placing this cache and giving us a great reason to stop and stretch our legs.

Out and about with and others doing the Silo Trail Painting . The artist Phil Ridd recommended to come here to see some of his local work. It is well worth the visit , did the small walk around the wetlands and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for bringing us here thanks for the cache
Found this cache on my way back to the Woomelang Hotel where I was staying for a few days to have a look at the Silo Art. This is a perfect spot if you want to "free camp" in this area. I loved the artwork on the corrugated iron sheets. A favourite from me
