Just a bit of a clean up.

yay found it,,its been a real struggle to get into the cache areas even in our 4x4 tftc

Found with catnap777 @2:30pm.
Cat' and I saved the last few of these McCracken caches for a rainy day. [^]
Then it started raining.....and raining ..... and...and then we had to wait for flood waters to receede and the roads to dry out and time to go get them and.....then it rained again.
Best we get cracken and find these things before winter really sets in.
Cache and log in good condition.

Cache found and log signed with dalerious .

dalerious and I spent the Easter weekend touring around here, there and everywhere in between. An awesome weekend spent doing what we love.

All caches found in good condition. One was out by 50 meters though so may need to be checked.

Thank you Lorigus74.

Thank goodness it’s not a hot day as I hate snakes and the grass was definitely overgrown. Had to use my teeth, go figure!

Very long grass but cache located and signed swiftly.

The water has receded now. This little guy was under flood level but lived to tell the tale.

Disabled due to floods.

To smart for you h#e$

One last find as i reckon going for 3 hides here when only planning for a couple with Muggles on board, i sort of felt like i was 'overdoing it' ha ha

The road was deteriorating somewhat so i wasn't gonna push my luck

On foot to this one i was looking around for a bit longer than expected till there it was i feel like a clown not seeing that sooner

Nice stroll in, not the biggest fan of a micro, especially in this environment, but this really belongs here. Would loved to sit and get to know Ash a lil deeper, but we had places to be. TFTC lorigus74

Freedom[^]: well the release from lockdown anyway Today is the day[:X][^]
I'd been offered a day out caching with dalerious and catnap777[:X] but hey, they were starting at 4.30am[|)][|)] and that's almost when I go to bed![xx(]
Plus I had a 2pm appointment and I needed to be available for that[^][^][^] So I declined their caching trip[?][xx(] and I am so pleased that I did[^][^]
The end of lockdown meant that the reviewers published new caches in the Shepparton area and so I rang Cybergran V and asked if she wanted to come caching[?]
She said 'yes', thinking there was only 2
When she rang back home later to say 'there's 9 caches and we will be a while', Rich said 'good!'[^][^] so we figured we had to find them all today
Ladders, The Blind Side, tracks in the bush and Rex running himself ragged having fun[^] meant an awesome day[:X][^] So awesome that I rang my appointment and postponed it so that we could stay out longer and keep having fun[^]
We managed 8 FTFs out of 9 caches[^] Although one was a joint FTF[^] with The Blind Side, who we muggled at another cache It was a good thing that we spoke with him[^][^] as he made short work of a place where the ladder would have been needed[^]
After this forest trip, Cybergran V kindly bought us a souvlaki/yiros for lunch[:X][^][:X] and then we made a dash for Pine Lodge Cemetery[^]: only to be pipped by minutes by dalerious and catnap777[?] Cybergran V signed the log book at that cache but I saved it foir a day when I need a multi[^][^][^]

You know my daughter calls one of my sons 'Ben Dover' and apparently 'Ben Dover' is mates with Fill McCracken

Woohoo! Joint *FTF* with Cybergran V [^]

2TF
This is the only one of the 7 on my second visit that I found. Geokid Ben had a great day and found the other six. Maybe he takes after that other superb geocacher with a similar name ***Jamin. Anyway I spotted the tiny prize while Ben was checking nearby stumps. Clever micro hide. TFTC

Joint *FTF with locus cache at 11.08
Well spotted by locus cache, having a ball together on these tracks in the 2WD
