By Aussie Fun Seakers on 08-Apr-21. Waypoint GC9910K

We found this cache on the ground, not exactly at GZ. The contents were still ok so signed and replaced at GZ.TFTC

Stayed in Echuca for the Great Victorian Cache Crawl events now in our way home via Tongala to check out the murals and another few caches in town. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache.

Quick find TFTC

Quick drive by cache on the way to Tatura for lunch! TFTC

Continuing the Cache Crawl, and travelling with Weirdobiker, we called in here to pick up the Brownlow Medal caches. As we were searching for the container, we were joined by Deanside and TeamAstra, and Pam made the discovery. With the log signed, we drove across to the other cache.Thanks Aussie Fun Seakers.

Out with crustyvarmint this morning after attending the Great Victorian Cache Crawl BBQ breakfast. We detoured to pick up this cache on the way to the next event in Tatura. While looking, Deanside and TeamAstro turned up for a group find

Found by The Empire + HLeaving behind Echuca's riverside charm, we embarked on the country roads that gently wound through expansive green pastures. Arriving in Tongala, known for its dairy industry and historical landmarks, felt like stepping back in time. The town's quiet streets and modest shops reflected its deep roots in Victoria's agricultural history. Visiting the footy oval at Tongala on a winter's day, despite the absence of a game and the rain falling steadily, offered a different but equally memorable experience. As we arrived, the oval lay quiet under the grey sky, its grandstand and goalposts standing stoically against the weather. Two quick caches found here. Thanks for the cache Aussie Fun Seakers.-M

We detoured into Tomgala this afternoon, saw some many awesome murals in town. Walked around the sports ground, no football here today, must be an away game, so no muggles about. Signed and returned. TFTC

On a long weekend road trip and staying in the area so first thing in the morning we headed out for a walk around and we were nearly the only people around so that made it nice and easy. A nice quick find here in a deserted sports oval.Thanks Aussie Fun Seakers for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

thanks for another quick find , it's freezing cold today so all the muuggles would be hiding inside by their fires tftc

Finally found it after a small trek with the kids, wondering if it was still even there. Well placed.

Weve looked for this cache before with no luck. As we were passing through I thought Id try to find it again. As we arrived lots of young people were arriving to footy training, we assumed. Luckily nobody was around the area we were looking. Today I didnt even get a chance to get out of the car before The _Evil_Muggle had the cache in his hands and I was leaving my stamp on the log. All caches in Tongala are coloured yellow on my map!

A quick find, signed log and replaced.TFTC

On holidays with the geofamily and we headed here this morning for an explore to see the murals. What a beautiful little town. Naturally I had to nab these Brownlow caches both were easy finds - till have a few more to tick off but will get there one day! Thanks for the fun and adventure.

A nice spot to come and make lunch here today, cache was found and is all goodOn the way home from the Capital Geobash Mega in the ACT, today I made my way from Corowa/Rutherglen to Kerang via Shepparton, I had no real plan today other than find a few caches for a challenge caches plus visit some places on the back roads I was yet to visit. Thanks for the cache

Great stop on our way home for lunch and to stretch our legs! Thank you!

Thanks for the cache lovely sporting ground!!

Suscoe was heading home today through the countryside to the east of the Northern highway.Another warm day was forecast and it was in the high teens before 9 am.A terrific wander through some small country towns and a few bigger ones as well.We enjoyed the caches we came across and found a few as we headed south.Thanks to Aussie Fun Seekers for another in this series.A quick find this morning.

Can't find but did see a snake

Good spot great find x

This one was pretty hard

Quick find with Bogonghazy. Thanks for placing the geocache

Found with LittleBoss2 on our way to a week in Yarrawonga. Thanks again AFS, quick find

So eone had left it all out, glad we came and found it

Quick and easy find for Miss10. Signed TNLN. Log book is wet, but still usable for now

Fun easy find

Tftc

TFTC little bit hard to find than first thought, but we got it took about 10 minutes

A sneaky find that required some extra tools to get (may have been replaced too far away?). TFTC!

Looked in the wrong place first then some geosense kicked in and there it was of course. Another in this fun series TFTC Aussie Fun Seekers

A few muggles around today. There may have been a cricket match on but on a break due to rain. TBS helped me find this one. It just wasn't my day
TFTC

quick find, love a good crawl around.

Last one found on our caching day! Was a quick find, I suspected it would be somewhere like this! Thanks for the cache.

Quick run in to find on my lunch break.. TFTC

TFTC

Took a bit but got it. TFTC

Staying in Moama for a few days, we headed out Tongala way to pick up more of the Brownlow Medal caches.Nice quick find here. TFTC

Found

20 minutes about to give up but I found it

A nice easy find. Lucky no sport today TFTC

Easily found as no sporting event on today. Thanks for the cache

Searched for twenty minutes and couldn’t find it think it’s stolen

Found it last second

These couple of Brownlow caches are quite new in the series it seems. With no muggle activity happening here today there was no stealth needed. SL at 2.46pm TNLN replaced as found. #8870 TFTC Aussie Fun Seakers

Easy to find with the cover of the building to shield us from the party in the grandstand on the other side of the oval. Thx Aussie Fun Seakers FTC.

Quick and easy find!! TFTC

Easy find

That was good fun thank you ‍

As with the other cache near the oval it was all quiet which was just as well since it took longer to find the cache than it should have. Anyway it was finally discovered and we were able to sign the log. Thanks to Aussie Fun Seakers for the cache.

I have loved doing the caches in this series and this one is no exception, thanks

Traveling over to Echuca by a somewhat convoluted path, and collecting a few odd caches.
A lovely sunny day for caching.

We walked the dogs around from where we parked, and the lone muggle disappeared.
All clear to search for this one. We had the location right, but took a bit of looking to find the cache.
The dogs liked the run on the oval on the way back.
Thanks, Robmc.

#18236. The first day of caching in quite a while, travelling between Beechworth and Echuca, via a long and winding road. Managed to find 13 and 1 DNF and also completed an AdLab in Tongala. Was surprised at such dry countryside and the gale force winds.

We took a little longer here than at the last find. Eventually we did spot the container, retrieved and signed the log and enjoyed a walk allong the green edge of the oval back to the car.

Thanks Aussie Fun Seakers

We were suffering "cache blindness" at this one. It took us ages and ended up making a call for a hint. Finally, we were able to sign the elusive cache log book. Another 22.2.22
Thankyou.

Little Squirell

It’s MEGA Road Trip time!! A plan is hatched and we are good to go.
DAY TEN: The beginning of the second half of this road trip. Back to Wang, then through to Koondrook via Shepparton, Tongala and Echuca.
First tried obvious location. Nope. Next spot checked…. Bingo!
Thankfully no games being played today or that could have been awkward.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, Aussie Fun Seakers

Day #10 of the MEGA road trip. It’s time to leave Albury and head back to Wangaratta to collect OZHockeyChicks car. Then it’s a cross state trip go Shepparton and Echuca to our new home for the rest of the week on the VIC/NSW border.

I was hoping it was in the first spot we looked but we had to look e to the second to find it.

Thanks Aussie Fun Seakers for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Numurkah to Echuca camping at the Rotary grounds alongside of the Campaspe River. A great spot only a couple of caravans here.
Today we too a day trip along some back roads to Tongala completed the AL & found a variety of caches.
Such a peaceful location we decided tostay another day & just cache around the local area.
Found on the ground & replaced where I presume it should be.
Thankyou Aussie Fun Seakers for placing this cache.

Tftc, made the find here after a bit of a search

Nice easy find. TFTC

Returning from a trip to Kyabram Fauna park, the child feel asleep so thought we'd make the most of this and so a few in this lovely little town

This was harder than it should have been. About to give up when I saw it from a distance and was able to guide Cathylm to it so it could be retrieved. Thanks for the fun

Find #180 on our Mega trip. This took ages - obviously just couldn’t spot it. After banging my head I gave up and then JMorg said I can see it. She was able to guide me to it so I was glad to tick this off!
Thanks for the fun.

Fairly easy find on a warm morning travelling through Victoria. tFTC

today we travelled on our ownwe are having a look around the area we found this cache

A good day was had while grabbing these caches
Thanks for placing them

Travelling towards Wangaratta and this was one of our stops. Thanks for placing we enjoyed finding your cache.

Another brownlow celebrated. Thanks.

Our quick escape to freedom from the prison known as Melbourne is now over and we are returning to Victoria via a few lab caches as work beckons for tomorrow.

We aren't great football followers, but we don't think that there is anyone that wouldn't know how important The Brownlow Medal is to the players. It is indeed a highlight of the season apart from winning a grand final and this is a great way to ember those who have been fortunate enough to win.
Congratulations to Greg Williams.
We pulled up here and there was a range rover parked about 60 meters away. Although they were facing the opposite direction we weren't sure if we were going to be able to search or not. There were two sides to where we thought that the cache maybe and happily for us it was on the side that put her out of view so a brief search later we had the cache in hand and were soon adding our name to the log and returning everything as it was.

Thanks Aussie Fun Seakers for the cache..

Another of the Brownlow Medal series ticked off. Gee there were so many places on that structure this cache could have been, thankfully it was a reasonably quick find. Nice hide TFTC

This one had me looking around in the wrong area for ages. Finally I widened the search and actually found it laying on the ground. Place back where I think it should of been. Tftc

TFTC

Short walk to this cache. Quick find.
TFTC

Such a lovely day, headed to Tongala for some caching. Found with Nan. Left Buzz for a visit. TFTC

Many thanks to the Aussie fun seekers for this awesome series of Caches. I’ve got many to go in this series. But I have made a start! Thanks for the hide and thanks for the effort you’ve put into placing the cache and maintaining it.

Ahha

Ytb

Can't find it.might need a hint

Took too long to find. But find it we did

got on the ground and found it the second time!

No hope...muggles at gz

Thank you from dirty mike and the boys

We had traveled our way to Tongala and had a pleasant walk around the town, taking in the myriad of murals. They were a fascinating eclectic collection with some interesting insights into the area's history and some humorous ones. The Geodogs had been in A'Tuin the Geomobile for a while, and the local oval proved to be a wonderful place to let them out and have a run. Our time with the geodogs on the oval was cut short when a local came and started work on the oval with his dogs. We found this cache quickly and it is in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache Aussie Fun Seakers.

Get down and get dirty.

Good hide

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. This took a little bit longer to spot than the other in this reserve, there were a lot more places that it could be hidden. PapaGrouch again made the find. TFTC

Found this one with SciFiRulz TFTC

Heading back south after a fantastic getaway in Swan Hill and Echuca we made our way in an unorthodox route to pick up unfounds along the way.
Both the Brownlow Medal caches in Tongala were missed on our visit here for the Celebration Event so today in passing we made sure they were on our to do list.
A short search soon had the cache in hand while we enjoyed the sporting grounds to ourselves.
Thanks Aussie Fun Seakers for the cache placement.

Found and busted lol. Thanks for the hunt.

After Jimmymaff was sprung with his legs hanging out
Lucky the local knew exactly what we were doing.
TFTC

found it will a little help from a friend tftc

Found TFTC with Barrod.

Only muggles around today were a few cows on the nearby paddock. Quick find. TFTC!

After a big day out yesterday at Myrtleford[^], Rex and I cached our way home last night for sleep[|)][xx(][|)][^]
We also had a big day planned today at Tongala[^] where we were meeting K9team and Ghihash for some geocaching[^] after attending Cybergran V's Community Celebration event[^]
By day's end I'd attended this great event[^], found 6 caches and completed the new Tongala murals adv lab too[:X][^] As well as seeing lots of awesome geocachers[:X]
I even found a glove in an arboretum[?] in the dark and managed to track down its owner and return it a day or so later[^][^]
Rex and I jumped in K9team's car for a few caches[^][:X] A lovely chance for me to not drive for a change[:X][^]
Thanks Tinnele[:X][^]

Racing to beat Ghihash to find the cache and it was me who did find it first[^]
After we'd SL[^] and I was replacing the cache another vehicle drove up and since I was already lying down on the job, I figured I may as well stay there[^][^]
Handed the cache to WazzaAndWenches[^][^] and their log lies[?]: I did NOT stand up to hand it to them as I distinctly remember saying 'I don't lie down while caching for just anyone!' I was still lying down when I replaced the cache after they'd SL Then and only then did I stand up![^]

Find # 9596
Found with Tyred n Cranky

A Sunday drive, caching around a newish area for us all.
We were up this way for the Anzac Day, Tongala event.
And as usual we cached our way up, around and then on the way home.

After going around the new labs, there was 2 trads to find before heading to the bonus cache.

This one took a while to find. My GPSr was pointing all over the place and wouldnt settle down. We ended up just taking a section each and went a looking.

Find No. 3274. Found with FUF009 at 3.03pm

A Sunday drive heading to Tongala to attend the Community Celebration Anzac Day Event.
On the way up we cached in Rochester plus a couple more between Rochester and Tongala.
Attended the event, done the Adventure Lab and found the caches around Tongala. On the way home we found a couple more plus got the ones at Elmore before heading for home.
A new area for all of us for caching and a day's outing that we all thoroughly enjoyed.

After attending the event and doing the Lab caches, we detoured to do two other caches before getting the Lab Bonus cache.

Well we sort of guessed where this one would be but finding it was another thing. So between the three of us searching here and there, it was FUF009 who put his fingers on it.

TFTC Aussie Fun Seekers

Found with my new partner in crime "catnap777", old caching buddies "LizzieandE" and yesterday's muggle.... "chickydi".

Waltzing over from the other side of the oval, the mob descended here for a group assault on this hide that had left some of us scratching their heads a little previously.
Again it was catnap777 that put her pretty little hands on it first and the log was soon adorned with the names of 4 more teams. [^]
TFTC Aussie Fun Seakers. Another fine addition to this ever growing series.

This cache was also a drive-by but in a different way. We drove around the oval and spotted a car near go. A better look showed a body lying on the ground. The body got up and walked over to us and handed over a cache for us to sign. Thanks, Kaye, for doing the work and finding the cache for us

After the event at Tongala we picked up Locus cache and Ghihash set off for a bit of caching around the town.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to this beautiful little town and seen the gorgeous art works
Ghihash and I loved finding the dunnys in the paintings
Ttfc

Lots of hidey spots here. Took a while. Thanks
