With today finally being decent weatherwise, I decided I would make my way out here to Ballarat and attempt to find a few caches hidden along this trail. It was a very overcast afternoon when I finally arrived at the beginning of the track. I began making my way along the track and very quickly realised I would need to be very careful. There has been plenty of rain lately and many parts of the track were very muddy and slippery. I cautiously made my way along the path, managing to avoid slipping over while finding the caches hidden along it. After walking and finding caches for about an hour, rain began to fall, which then made me decide to return to my car. All in all, I had an enjoyable walk along this trail and was very happy that I had found most of the caches I searched for.I was happy to find this one quickly and also happy to see it all in good condition.

Thank you for the caches in this series! Had to stop early, but will return to do more of them along this track.Original location we thought was not the right one. Look around a bit more and you'll see something else that matches the hint.
A great walk in the still forest today. Not a sound except the distant call of the odd bird and even more distant odd truck. Some of these caches were out by 15m or so, so fan out if having trouble.Thanks to deanside and Tenkae who added to the fun. Logs signed as TAD and stamps used when the logs were soaked!Thanks GemmaSistema and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!
Spending my birthday the best way I know, caching in the bush and with great friends in the company of Tenkae and TeamAstro!!!!Thanks GemmaSistema for showcasing this area and contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!
We're spending a couple of weeks staying at Slatys Creek and decided to spend a day out caching before the easter crowds show up and start riding motorbikes everywhere. We did a part of this run last year, so time to finish it off. TFTC
TFTC. Setting up camp for a week in Murray Bridge before the MEGA for 29th Feb!Moving to Ballarat for another week afterwards. Last hurrah travelling before wooding season at home starts!Happy caching and safe travels!
We nearly had heart failure as the road was deteriorating and we thought we saw two work utes heading towards us. There was little room to get off the track and LumpyR didnt fancy backing back. Luckily we realised they were water Workers driving on the other side of the fence! Quick find. Tftc
A quick trip to Ballarat and time for a few finds.It was nice to wander along these tracks to find a few caches.Not many bird calls to be heard today.Thanks to GemmaSistema for this cache and this trail.Good to stretch the legs for a while.This is a spot where we haven't been before so it was nice to look around.
Thanks for the cache the directions where leading us the wrong way but we found our way back
Day 2 of getting sidetracked from completing the Ballarat GeoTour. I enjoyed my walk around the Koala reserve so much yesterday that today i thought i would return to do some more walking. The plan was to walk/cache for 4 hours and then take 2 hours to return. At 12 p.m., I decided i wanted to keep going rather than retrace my steps, so i organised a pick up at the other end. This was one of the many caches l found today.
what a crazy day. this morning at 11 o'clock we set out to go caching on a 12km walk. although we missed the last few due to the sun setting alittle earlier than we had planned we managed to get 45/50 we stopped for a picnic along the way and thankfully our legs aren't in too much pain. i'd be lying if i said my feet didn't hurt but my face hurts more from smiling. thanks to gemmasistema for the majority of this trail and a couple from some others great scenic walk and i'll be back to snag those last couple i missed.
I came to Ballarat for a brunch event, then spent the rest of my time in the bush. Apart from the first and last, it was a GemmaSistema day. That's another smiley!
Thanks to GemmaSistema for the cache.

Next one to the collection. It’s been a tricky track but I have had a good day racking up the funds tftc
A good straight forward find. Log signed and replaced as found, no problems. Thanks for the cache
Chook (from chooknchunk) and I have wanted to do this hike through the bush collecting all the caches along the way for it seems "ages" - Only took us over a year lol before both could make it. Well, we car shuttled half way to the end so we could fit more caches in. We talked, laughed and had a most enjoyable day - hoping to return earlier than later to finish the trail. thanks Gemma for these well placed caches.
Chook and Sunset62 had been talking about doing the Eureka Trail for ages. Eventually the stars aligned and today was the day. We car-shuttled to park one halfway, and set off on the trail on this glorious autumn day. All caches were found and were generally in good condition. We absolutely had a ball, lots of banter and laughs, and we can't wait to come back soon to finish the other half.
Thank you GemmaSistema for the effort in placing all these caches so we could come out here and enjoy them.

After the first four caches down the other end of the track, it was time to head up this for a few more. Another section where the track was good and again it wasn't long and the cache was in hand and the log signed.
Thanks GemmaSistema, great morning to be out here. Cache all good.

Found our 6th Australia Day cache at 12:45pm. Full of water, we dried it out with towel and sun and then SL TFTC
Oh, we've also very pleasingly collected a lantern on the way!

We have headed to Ballarat to attend doctor appointments and in our spare time head out to areas that we have not cached in to find the many geocaches that have popped up in the forest areas. Most of the roads were acceptable, some geocachers were on walking/bike riding section which hubby hiked on and I drove the car and would pick him up along the way. All geocaches were found and were in good condition. SL TFTC

That's my sort if caching. Take me to interesting spots. Don't make it a difficult search. TFTC.
Find #2653 for me. Found at 1:52 pm with my dog Bonnie. For some reason, my GPS lost the signal between the ditch and this cache. As a result, I walked too far before trying to find the cache via the hint alone. Shortly after the signal returned and I found myself at GZ taking a much longer cross-country route than was necessary. Thanks for the fun and the cache Gemma!
A few good options here for the hide but only one had the goods. All in good nick. TFTC
