Out for the maiden trip on my new ebike when Cartwright's Bridge was found. A nice, quick find in the end, thanks ducky legs and giraffe legs for setting up and maintaining this cache.PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me on my great caching adventures today.

Day two of a short trip into Gippsland with the deadly treadly for some caches.This morning I started in Morwell at the Crinigan Bushland Reserve.I then went to Churchill and rode the loop of the LV Event caches and some of the Winston Wander Extension caches. Finished off the day on the GRT.A nice ride around on a mild day.I parked in the middle at Darlimurla station and rode firstly to Mirboo North, then back towards Boolarra.Very swish bridge. A nice quick find here.Thanks, Robmc.

Very happy to find after a dnf before this one

Out for a Sunday walk and checking on some of our caches today. This needs a lid repair but is in place and ready to find. Please be careful not to drop the lid.....it's a long way down to retrieve it.

Had to time this one with the bike riders..BTW heights make me nervous..I was wowed by the damage the bridge has sustained because of a big kick ass tree falling. Picked up Geo coin woo hoo.

Nice easy find

TFTC

Thankfully, this one was a quick easy find. Beginning to feel hungry with Mirboo being so close but still so many caches away
TFTC!

Bit easier than the last bridge cache. Enjoying the ride today along the trail. TFTC

Found after a short hunt, I liked this hide!

Today was the first day of my LSL adventure to ride rail trails and geocache along the way. Great trail and some easy and not so easy geocaches found. 12 out 13 found so 13 is definitely an unlucky number!

TFTC ducky_legs & giraffe legs

not sure I replaced correctly - sorry. There was this absolutely massive tree that had fallen and some still looming over bridge. amazing. there when another couple came by as i was "gonging sounds"

A huge tree had fallen across the bridge and snapped in the recent storms. Great bridge though. Nice spot. TFTC

We enjoyed getting noisy but also making a nice find. TFTC leg crew

The first perfect weather day we've had these holidays and the offer for some good company, well who could resist a rail trail stroll with 4 kids on bikes, 2 dogs, 4 masked adults and a picnic lunch? We thoroughly enjoyed the 10km walk/ ride to get some new caches with the Mummy Short Legs crew. I think it was this spot that we enjoyed the most along the trail today because of the entertainment attached to the bridge. What a creative idea! Found the cache with theme music. TFTC

The geokids located this one quickly on our bike ride yesterday. Thanks for placing this one here

Great spot,next to the musical bridge!!

Tftc the hanging hammers are a red herring

Tftc. Found with uncle Dave and 5 kids

I got a Message from Skipair with a suggestion of heading to the Mirboo North and Boolarra area to tackle the GRT trail, I had been looking at those for some time but My driving is very limited at the moment so its great to have friends to drive you around and chat with. We also did several other caches in the area, most of the trail was walked as I am unable to ride a bike after being hit by a truck. This is a beautiful area to visit with several great view locations and we certainly took a few roads that are less traveled today.

This is one of the caches we found on our travels.

Logs signed as RASP

Thanks ducky_legs for the cache.

After following the maps, the GPS and our noses we managed to get reasonably close to this one. We parked the car where the blokes reckoned they could see the trail, but Mrs Ski wasn’t so sure. Set off in an optimistic mood which started to waver pretty quickly. Got there eventually and happily picked up two caches without too much trouble. This is a lovely trail, and one day we will come back and ride it when we are all recovered from injury

Out and about with Rebel Acts again, so many of the caches will be signed RASP.
For the first 6 years of our married life Mr SKI was the head teacher at Budgeree Primary School so this is an area we used to know quite well. It is also of the prettiest areas in Gippsland, full of productive farms that used to mainly be dairy. Now a lot of them have diversified and you can see beef cattle, alpacas and goats as well the large dairy herds. And of course the spuds! There are also pockets of native forest and plantation forest tucked away as you drive the mainly winding and hilly roads. Good for the soul.

GPS was way off and had us looking in quite the wrong spot, ut a quick search branching out soon had this to hand.

Out and about for a day of trekking with merkinofloki. Looking forward to a good old fashion hike along the rail trail with many finds to be had and a bloody glorious day to be doing so :3 and the kookaburras are following us along, must be our spirit animals for the day!!

Found it prob because the previous cachet had left his pen behind. I took it as a hint. Tftc

First find for the day. Nice spot. TFTC

Nice find tftc

Very cool cache TFTC

This is an amazing structure along the rail trail. Years ago I recall riding down gulleys along this trail, lifting the bike over fallen trees. I’m thinking this might have been one of those places.
Time for us to return to Darlimula and hopefully collect the caches closer to Boolarra on another trip.
Thanks for another great cache.

Well what a cracker of a day! Travelled to Boolara for our exercise, after parking the car we rode to Mirboo North for lunch (picked up a couple of caches along the way). Then we stopped to find the rest of the caches along the way.
Saw that a fellow geocacher that I had met previous was signing some of the logs with today's date so when we spotted him looking for a cache we had a good catchup.
4 in a row where I have parked the bike within a couple of metres of the cache and made a quick find, too good to be true.
TFTC

Well that's certainly different but actually a good cache type l liked it well done found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC

A quick ride in between rain and 6deg, nice hide , nice fix to the lid .

Nice securing mechanism on this cache.
I wasn't expecting a bridge along the rail trail, let alone one that is pretty. Very much enjoying the walk on such a beautiful day.
Tftc

Lovely find.

TFTC!! Clever one!!

A very cool cache! Thanks for it!

No pen as we were bike riding..., but good cache

This one was nice! Thanks left a coles mini

Love this cache, awesome hide.
Though I found the green logbook protector on the ground first out of the cache with a bit of water in it.

I have cleaned it up and placed logbook back where it should be.

Nice and safe now
Thank you for the cache.

I live in Latrobe City Council boundaries and hence not in lockdown. Needed to get out for some fresh air. Not a soul of the rail trail except me. Amazing bridge and I am presuming the rubber mallet chained to the bridge half way along is to make bridge music with???

This was a very quick find. TFTC.

Tftc. Found with tb142, kezza1211 and naturegirl.

Found with geowife kezza1211 naturegirl and rogerz1956.
Sorry dropped the lid. Tried to recover it but it was too slippery. It ended up under a log

Found with GeoHubby TB142 and GeoFriend RogerZ1956 and Nature Girl. TFTC

Reported cache lid lost. Thought I had done good attaching the container body....now the lid attached as well

Been for a quick maintenance check with Sabrina, after dropped container report. Cache container now securely fastened in place with a lanyard

Found on an outing with my favourite Geocacher kryslazz. It had been a while Enjoyed every find on this trail that I had never visited despite living localled. Can't wait to come back and finish it off, as it got dark before we could nab the last few.

Thank you for a lovely walk

Can we actually claim this find.... like.. we had our hands on the cache???? And then we watched it roll off into the distance. We are so sorry. We placed a temporary cache in its place instead.

Sorry again x

My wife had the plan of running a rail trail today while 999HK and I did geocaching on it. Which rail trail quickly got changed to be this one when all the new geocaches got released here. In the end, my wife ran the entire rail trail up, back and a half, a total of over 31 kilometres. We walked over 12.5 kilometres getting the middle section.

Very interesting bridge and we would like to know the significant of the "Tools" and why they are chained to the bridge. Certainly different to find a mallet and cudgel chained to it. 999HK had good eyes here, noticing the chains and the geocache, and she had a laugh as I continued to look the wrong way for the container.

Thanks for the cache ducky legs & giraffe legs
