Today's target was an event in Castlemaine followed by some caching, Ad Labs and some scouting around. After the event, micaparamedic and I set off for a few caches, although he had already done them. We drove past this one when MP mentioned there was a cache. A quick check, turn around and we were back so LeeLee could get it. Thanks cahraswarris for creating for us all to enjoy. A lovely view here.

Great for beginners, and an excellent choice of container!

Thank you!

Great cache container! Pen is a bit broken but that'll teach me to forget my own thanks for the cache!

Thanks

On my way towards Ballarat. Not aiming on getting there in a day. Lot's of caches to get.

kangaroo mobs is an understatement! There was heaps, very nice valley.Cache was hidden well and in good conditionTFTC

I hid it more gooder than before

Nice peaceful spot. TFTC.

Tasmania Trip Day 13. Travel Day, Geelong to Canberra. After a great night one the boat and even a good nights sleep, I was ashore way too early and beginning to drive home to Canberra. After refueling I started out. I did not go directly and took quite a detour via the final three western(ish) counties in Victoria I have not cached in before. This leaves Melbourne and several east of Melbourne around to almost Orbost to do one day. Seeing the heavy traffic streaming towards Melbourne in the other direction was odd in the foggy pre-dawn darkness. Eventually it got light and I reached some caches to do. All in all it went smoothly with some interesting places visited and I even made it home eventually, just before dark. All in all a great multi leg journey over almost a month. Now onto some Canberra activities.Most of the caches I did today were quick roadside caches, even if some of the roads were back trails.Thanks for the cache cahraswarris46177.16 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2015 Mystery Skull A#320**Albida**

Good one

I loved the hunt

Met some pretty horses on the way

What a great little drive out into the country to find this cache. A nice big container. Everything still in good condition. Nice quick easy find on a nice warm Saturday morning. Very quite out this way. Left a TB. TFTC. SL. Thanks for putting a cache out on this road for us to come and find. Cheers.

Beautiful spot! We found a lizard nearby that showed us the way. Sitting right by the cache

In Castlemaine today to be Guard on the Victorian Goldfields Railway... and went looking for a local cache or two at the end of the day before hitting the highway back home to Melbourne. It was interesting to see how quickly the area around Castlemaine becomes rural once you leave the main road. The cache was a nice and easy find... and is in good condition. Thanks **cahraswarris** for putting this cache out.

The unsealed roads are in good condition around here. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC

Out for lunch with bogonghazy and of course a few caches had to be found. Out in the open with log on ground. All replaced as should be per hint. Tftv

Found with Sorceysal meeting for a Christmas drink. This was out in the open and unscrewed. CO might need to look at relocation if muggles have done this. Thanks for bringing us here, cheers

Thanks

Super easy. Way too obviously covered.

Thanks for the sneaky hide

Found it tftc

An unusual situation for us instead of being in lovely warm Queensland we are hiding around cold old Victoria. Medical reasons and caravan repairs have us staying here and we will be looking forward to finding as many caches as possible while we are here. SL TFTC

This is probably the most easiest one we found yet and for follow future treasure Hunters here’s a hint, Tree

Found this morning while in Castlemaine picking up a wardrobe. Nice quick drive by cache in a great location.
Tftc.
Today makes day 41 of my current streak

After a day exploring the Welsh Village with wozzle68, it was time to actually find a cache for the day. This was a nice quick find. TFTC cahraswarris.

An easy find with Chooknchunk

Nice find again Hannah!

A nice and quiet spot with lots of roos around, so we stayed for a bit and watched them hop around!

TFTC!

Good drive

TFTC! Nice weather today

Nice easy find. TFTC

Nice container and a lovely piece of quartz in the cache. Second find of the day and in Castlemaine as well. A few horses nearby as we passed through the Happy Valley to reach GZ on our morning log. Couple of roos and a nice sunrise over the hills also (see images). TNLN. Thanks for the geocache.

*Cache find # 13955.*

Today I headed out this way as I was needing a few more cache finds in the Mount Alexander LGA for a certain challenge cache.
On my tour of a very interesting area, I stopped at this one to make the find.
A quick stop here, the log was signed and I was on my way.

**Thanks to cahraswarris for placing this cache.**

totally inconspicuous

Great find thanks mate not the biggest tree I have seen but oh well

Very fun thanks

Loved it

Found! Loved this ️

Happy Valley find. We loved this one. Tie me kangaroo down sport..There were kangaroos absolutely everywhere. It was terrific to drive up this windy little road that opens out onto such a lovely area. The hide its self was wonderful camouflage. And to make things even better I found a trackable for the first time in a year. TFTC

Thanks good one

Found and enjoyed, cheers

A quick find for the day on the way into town.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, cahraswarris

We have settled into our new base on Mt Alexander and decided to drop into Castlemaine for some supplies. This was a quick cache we both hadn’t got previously. It was a difficult spot to park but fortunately an easy find.

Thanks cahraswarris for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Beautiful area. Nice easy find tftc

Good one

Quick find. Our girl loved meeting Mr. Ed. TFTC

Staying up at Castlemaine for the weekend and I mentioned to GemmaSistema that I would be staying up this way, so Gemma made a trip up to here and we met up in the morning and then spent a fantastic day around the outer suburbs of Bendigo.
Plenty of laughs, Bush tracks, a couple of Lab caches thrown in and of course lots of other caches found along the way, ending with a couple of pizzas for tea in the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens
A great day out was had.
Well this definitely the last cache for the day.
We ordered tea and since it was about a 1/2 wait we headed off to the hills to look for this one.
Made our way along Happiest Valley Rd and parked up near the end.
We walked back to GZ added our names to log and off we went.
We spotted a mob of skippies on the way out in one of the paddocks we past.

Thanks Cahraswarris TFTC.

A fabulous day of caching with Posums around Bendigo saw us at this cache upon returning to Castlemaine. Great views along here. Many thanks for the cache.

Seems a pretty joyful lane but I saw no walkers nor any other cars.
Interesting median strip up the end. Walked back for a quick find.
Say hi to Lotte for me. Cheers Sally

Thanks for our first Geocache

A delightful road to drive along just on sunset, after travelling to Castlemaine from Wangaratta this afternoon. No kangaroos to bee seen, but we did find a cache and SL at 8pm Left: a blue banded bee ball. #8341 TFTC cahraswarris

It was an amazing walk out to it

There were several “big trees” but I found it in the end. I like the cache container! TFTC

Very well hidden, good spot! Took a keep eye to find it.

Cool grey almost wintry November day. Thanks for bringing us to this tranquil area. Good hide. Cache log a trifle damp after all this rain but good container and log still serviceable. TFTC

Loved spotting all the kangaroos and horses. Needed to get the kids out for some fresh air
Tftc

We feel this cache has been removed because we searched the area but we could not find anything.

Great day for it

Nice quick driveby in a lovely valley, the log was wet and it is raining so quick is best!

Good one

Great spot. Kangaroos everywhere !!

Find No,. 3471. Found with FUF009

A day out caching with FUF009, down to Castlemaine area, which turned out to be a perfect sunny winters day.
We cached a lot of bush tracks and luckily we were in FUF009's Triton as I don't think our van would of made it to some of the places we went to. We had a plan on what caches we'd do and managed to find them all. We had a good fun day which we all needed in these Covid times.

Had to park on the track while we all jumped out to locate this one. Luckily it was quiet today and no-one came along. Quickly signed log and off we went to our next find.

TFTC

Find # 9823
Found with Tyred n Cranky

Off for a Sunday drive down Castlemain way. The day turned out to be a great winters day out caching. Perfect temp and sun shining all day long.

The bush tracks we tackled had some eye opening situations but the ol' 2x4 Triton made it to most GZs. The tougher ones we legged it up the hills and along the toughet tracks.

All in all, the targeted caches were all found, some took a little longer to locate than others and we had a lot of fun along the way.

A quick find, I parked on the track while we signed the log.
Thankfully no one came along .
