Thank you, this is our 32 Anniversary run. Aiming to get 32 caches1 today to celebrate 30/32
I recently watched a doco on the Swiss alps, what a magnificent mountain range. The great divide has a more subtle charm, so much more subtle! Still, i love this volcanic landscape and its rolling curves. I needed to get out of the house and breathe some fresh air for a while so i headed off for an afternoon caching getaway. I didnt have a firm plan but started nearby in Harcourt and wandered my way towards Creswick. I enjoyed the countryside and had a great time finding caches as i went. Great Dividing Range is find number 3,511 for me. A fun micro sized traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in City Of Ballarat. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. I am logging this one on Tuesday 2 July 2024 at 4:53 pm and the weather is Scattered Clouds 6C 70% 3 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy Saint.Anthony.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Pulled over and waited for a lull in passing traffic before swooping in and making a quick find. Slowly chipping away at the Jasmer Challenge and finding this cache allows be to cross another month off the list. TFTC. SL. TBs Eddie Mac to New Zealand and Back, Prado Owl , Rawhide , Surrey Travel Tag and Kiwi Bird visited.Find # 1928.
I headed up to Ballarat after work yesterday so I did not have to get up too early to attend the event and CITO at Miners Rest.I think that Im on first names basis with the guy from the motel because he greeted me when I walked in the door.So after the event and CITO it was time to pick up a few caches in the area before having to head on back home.Headed North to find a few off of them that were off the main roads.I was heading back down south and I realised that I had missed this one.I hope nobody got caught by the speed camera that was set up close to here.I have seen signs like this numerous times and have crossed the range many times as well in my travels.Soon located the cache and on to the next one.Thanks Saint.Anthony TFTC.
We were on the way back from the Talbot Market and found this to be a quick find.Thanks for the hide.
**07/11/2023, 06:21:00****Find #5623****Traditional Find #3361**Day number four of my road trip. I got off to an early start and still the weather is fine, but that's not going to last. The resident spider took exception to me destroying its home, but I needed the cache. I signed the log, which was a bit moist and then headed off.**Thank-you to Saint.Anthony for placing this geocache**

Heading homeward after a couple of great days caching in and around St Arnaud with Suscoe. The Great Dividing Range itself literally showed up to the left and we just had to add one final cache to our spring collection.
Thanks to Saint.Anthony for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Time for Mr. Lazy aka JTreeTrack2 to catch up on some logs. Sorry to the cache owners for the lag. I have enjoyed finding every cache I have found and appreciate all the effort that has gone in to placing and maintaining the caches. Hopefully I will find more caches and give a more timely and personalized logThanks again for placing the cache.
Found last Tuesday when the Winter sun lured me out of the house. Great to add another local smilie to my map. TFTC
Quick find - in fact finding it was quicker than signing the log and replacing it back into the nano container.

Last of just a few today and it was a quick find. Lots and lots of cobwebs so it looked as if it hadn't been moved a little while...however the cache and log were all good.
Thanks for the quick stop Saint.Anthony....

We enjoy finding caches and this was another we enjoyed finding
This weekend was mega weekend and we headed over with Freddo for a couple of days before caching up with some fellow Aussie counter parts
A great weekend away and a very well organised mega despite the horrible weather thrown at us we still managed to find quite a few caches
Thanks for the cache

No trouble finding this cache.
November 2022. Time for the second Victorian Mega of the year. This time in Whittlesea. What is it with W's? Time for another epic road trip. Who will join our merry crew? We traveled from South Australia and camped in the pig pen. It rained. It blew. It was sunny. It was not sunny. All four seasons. Beautiful location and some awesome caches.
Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

While staying in Ballarat we decided to take a drive up to Clunes to find some caches along the way, as well as the ones in town and also do the adventure labs based around the history of Clunes. Had a lovely few hours enjoying the area and learning about its past. Thanks to the COs for the caches/ALs.
Found after quick search in the most logical place. A very pleasant area. TFTC Saint Anthony

Found on our way back from the Avoca event. Nice quick find here today in the warm sunshine.

P.s. the log is starting to get damp. Might be time for a new sheet and o-ring on the cache.

Found as we passed in our way to the youngest team members activity we managed to stop and add this smile, TFTC and thanks for giving us a reason to stop here
Where we lived in FNQ the elevation was 803 meters and we were not anywhere near the highest point. The Great Dividing Range is certainly a thing of beauty. SL TFTC
At gz I found it easy enough but when I looked there were 2 caches. One up each end!!! Weird!! Tftc
A very nice quick and easy find on a pleasant afternoon drive around the area.

I lived "next to" the Great Dividing Range in N.S.W. We do live in the best country I'm sure. Thanks for the cache
So 442m ASL. I now know the area's elevation. I lived at a similar height in Gisborne for the past 21 years so I am now accustomed(acclimatised) to that height. No altitude sickness for me.
Easy find of course
Thanks Saint Anthony.

Driving in this area and couldn’t go past this cache without stopping. Found it quickly thank goodness, it was freezing. Thanks Saint Anthony for the information and placing .
We stopped and found the cache quickly. Thanks Saint.Anthony, found with Motndarg today.
Found by Mary and David at 15:00. Heading to Maryborough to do the Lab Caches there after finishing the ones at Bacchus Marsh. Just couldn't resist this trad on the way past. As always, your research and cache notes are impeccable, so a FP. Our thanks to Saint.Anthony.

Quick find this evening when doing a cache maintenance run near by. Thanks for the cache and highlighting so many spots around here.
Suscoe headed out this way very early today for a trip and some caches.
As little kids we remember seeing these signs dotted around the country along the key roads.
It was nice to stop and find this cache.

After safely making our way to GZ, the cache was quickly located. Thanks for placing it here for us to find.

Our first cache for the afternoon as we head north with Papi4506 and Geoturtle37 for a fun packed weekend of desert driving. We parked on the west side and crossed carefully to make the quick find.
Thanks Saint.Anthony for dividing us between great and greatness

Find #2342 for me. Found at 11:45 am while on my way to Ballarat from Bendigo with my daughter. This was a quick find for us this morning. Thanks for the cache Saint.Anthony!
{FTF} With Glanville Girls, happy to turn this frown upside down this morning. Thanks to Saint.Anthony for replacing.
{FTF} @ 9.27 this morning with Wozzle 68. After a previous attempt on this turned up nothing, we were pleased to see the CO had been out to check on it. Thanks SA for placing.
TFTC. We were on the way to Ballarat for an eye test. The old prescription worked for this one. Quick easy find. We drive this route regularly and never stopped to notice the sign. Are we really that high abiogenesis sea level?
Checked today, and yes it was gone. Perhaps it blew out in the gale force winds I encountered. If you can rummage in the grass perhaps you can locate it for me, thanks. Any way replaced with larger version and at Ballarat side. All good to find now!
