Found while accompanied by the CO on a bit of a maintenance run. The idea was she would chauffeur me around and I would find the caches, she would see if any maintenance was required. That lasted as long as it took for us to hop in her car and find it had a flat battery.Take two. Now I am driving with her directing me where to go. Had a fun few hours picking up caches around the area. Don't ask me where I actually drove, I was lost after the first few turns.

**Found with GoodLook and the Dame** Big GrinFound whilst visiting Shepparton for a birthday event.The thing I love about caching is the interesting stories, the extra interest and attention you take when traveling, the sight-seeing, the history, the interests of the individual COs, *the fantastic photo opportunities* and sometimes finding places that even some locals dont know about. I, like most cachers, look for more that a mint tin or a container under a bush. I appreciate the time that most COs take to construct a cache and write up a comprehensive listing and to create an interesting cache. **I love traveling this big land of ours.** I love taking the roads less traveled. I love the diversity of the land, the different scenes in the different seasons, the fresh air, the open plains, the lofty vistas and the magnificent waters. I even enjoy the longer scenic walks although I'm not as young and as fit as I used to be.Wink I love the different coffee shops I find. I enjoy the times I cache with others but I usually cache on my own. The weather was glorious, the coffee shops pleasant and the company wonderful. Big GrinThank you Cybergran V for highlighting this area and for providing this game piece for our enjoyment. Appreciate your efforts. Big Grin - P**Warning**, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to learning new things and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Big GrinThanks for the Virtual **#84**Cache on! Cool**#18874****Lest We Forget**

Found by The Empire + HDriving from Melbourne to Echuca, with stops in Nagambie and Shepparton, offers a picturesque journey through some of Victoria's charming regional towns. This road trip, spanning about three hours, takes you through lush farmland, scenic vineyards, and historic towns, each with its unique appeal.Back on the road, we continued north to Shepparton, another hour away. The drive took us through lush farmland, with fields of crops and grazing livestock creating a picturesque rural landscape. Shepparton, known for its agriculture and dairy industries, welcomed us with its vibrant, bustling town center. Thanks for the virtual cache Cybergran V.-MVirtual #249

After unsuccessfully looking for a couple of caches in Bendigo we headed home via Kamarooks and Shepparton. Was hoping to get a cache at lunch but we picked the one piece of town with nothing in place.So I walked back to this park took a photo and then we headed home. TFTC and the history lesson Cybergran V

#5571 Mr BGF had just finished a work meeting very nearby. Popped across the road to check out the statue and story behind Sir Murray. Fascinating stuff. The parks, gardens, artwork and other developments around the central Shepp certainly has lifted the character of the town since I lived here 30 years ago. Great to see the local history being highlighted in various ways. TFTVC Cybergran V.

A plan was hatched to go to my first Central Victorian geocaching event so we headed off with Snips and Co for a one day road trip from the south of Melbourne up to Tatura.After a lovely lunch event we started on our way back to Melbourne via a couple of virtuals and a couple of cache award nominees as well.I stood beside this one so I didn't get shot which was important because I wanted to survive my 13,000th cache find. A favourite from me.Thanks Cybergran V for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Traveled up through Shepparton to Tatura for the event tomorrow and collected a few caches on the way.I was glad this was a virtual as there were a lot of muggles around GZ.Interesting history on the signs.Thanks, Robmc.

On the way through with Jack and Purrfect Di. Stopped for a quick leg stretch and took some pics with the cavalry! Nice little park in the middle of town. Thank you Cybergran V for the virtual cache Cool---------------- Wink ----------------------In a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and solid lumps falling from trees - - - a cache a day keeps us agile... sort of Wink--------Caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp Wink ) Work gets in the way - and some may take longer to log than others due to mixed technology and need for sleep! The skill and talent of some Zenior Zombies helps, and maybe a spot of luck too [:o)]----------Cache carefully and make sure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on Wink Clean as you go and cache the countryside Big GrinBig thanks to those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas, in nice safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun for all CoolOf course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Wink Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!! Maybe not though - as someone actually did read to the end and alerted me to just a project GC badge that requires long logs [:o)] Well at least it's not as bad as finding a mint tin! Did you get that... stop putting out rusty mint tins, just stop it, now!!! TwistedRazz C'est fini... For now... ... until tomorrow!

Another neat virtual in Shepp. This guy had a great life. Nice memorial from the town.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

Find 4,500The weather forecast was perfect for caching... and testing my new driving sunglasses... so I decided it was time to go after a collection of challenges near Bendigo that I had my eye on for over a decade. After that I decided to head off to Shepparton for a couple of challenges that have been recently placed there... and I hadn't realised were here until I got back home after my visit here last week... Doh!!!It was now almost 6 o'clock and so with my objectives for the day completed... and 2 hours drive ahead of me... it was time to head for home... but not without first stopping off for this Virtual.Thanks **Cybergran V** for creating this one.

We were in Shep for the Now and Forever concert (which was one of the best gigs we've ever been to) so I made Zeus detour to this statue on our way back to Melbs the next morning. A whirlwind visit but so worth it

Day 1 of Chook and OzHockeyChick's "QOGM-consolation" roadtrip, targeting caches in three states over four days of fun, friendship, laughter and adventure. We really enjoyed visiting this Virtual Cache and learning all about Brigadier Sir Murray Bouchier and all his achievements. Thank you for bringing us here Cybergran_V(PS apologies for duplicate log, I had tried to change the photo and accidentally deleted the original log instead oops).

With a huge portion of the Victorian caching community enjoying their pilgrimage north to Longreach, chook(nchunk) and I decided to plan our own little mini-adventure, targetting adlabs, solved puzzles, faves, TDOCs and anything else that piques our interest along the way. Day One: Seymour, Nagambie, Shepparton, Echuca, Deniliquin. We wandered over to find Brigadier Sir Murray Bouchier, and take aquick pic or two.Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Cybergran V ~~

We are heading up to the Shepparton Marathon and taking the long way via Echuca. The plan is to get 20 geocaches in the Campaspe and Moira LGAs and at least 1 cache in whatever NSW LGA Moama is in. Then get at least 4 caches in the Shepparton LGA. Not sure it will happen with our tight schedule, but will see how it goes.

Only got 16 geocaches in Moira LGA yesterday, so todays plan has changed. After doing photography duties at the start of the Marathon, it's time to head North and collect a few geocaches, hopefully in time for the end of the race.

Weird, I know I've stopped here before for a cache but I can't see it on my map. Oh well, at least this time I got to visit this nice statue.

Thanks for the cache Cyber Gran V

This is another cool sculpture, and an enjoyable addition to my cache tour today. Thanks for introducing me to the Brigadier.

The Trip.
A muggle friend was visiting Shepparton today to see a man about a dog, literally! They asked if i would like to come along for morale support and to share the drive, i jumped at the chance so long as i could find a few caches along the way. With that sorted i set about creating a short list of caches from the many available. I came up with thirteen which helped me achieve various goals and was about as many as i could reasonably expect my friend to tolerate before getting bored.
 
19-Jul-23
Had been over to Shepparton to visit family today. Heading home in the evening, I stopped to check this virtual out.

We came to Shepparton today with family to do some shopping, and so we had but a little bit of time to find a couple of caches. Decided that the virtuals here were a must, and so while the others were finishing up, I made the walk a couple of blocks away to to GZ. Such a very cool statue here, and loved reading the history.

We were heading back home after a weekend away in Barmah. We decided we would pick up a couple of caches in Shepparton on the way through. Things had started really well, then we saw the dreaded red and blue flashing lights.

So we stopped and the kind officer gave us a ticket. $370 and 3 demerit points later we were on our way.

We had found two of the COs other caches while in Shepparton and had a great chat with her while at her TB hotel.

It was interesting learning about the Brigadier

Thank you for this Virtual cache Cyberbran V

My son who is my partner in caching and only does the bare necessities but usually if he thinks I will not be safe without him but just now he is working in Shepparton and it was to windy to do the job he went to find a geocache. He does not read so only does easy ones when alone. He does like this sort of learning caches. He took photos of every sign around as he like me to explain it when he gets home. A great Virtual. Mark at the statue. TFTC

A long time between visits to Shep but we are back to attend 2 events today and enjoy the local caches.
Touring the city with a few labcache stages we managed a park close to this impressive statue to read the Bourchier’s story and take some photos.

Found whilst in Victoria attending the Mega Event at Rutherglen. I am collecting Virtuals to achieve a challenge cache that I have found and signed.
 
12-Apr-23
The JAMS team (JJ52 allister w, mogni and sir_spectre) were on a road trip heading to the Rutherglen Mega event (staying in Corowa) for 3 days then winding our way home via Albury, Wangaratta, Bendigo and various other places in between. It was a great week with many more caches found than we expected. There were targeted caches, challenge caches, Ad Labs, events and various others to fulfill various statistics for the four of us. We were lucky with the weather, it rained a bit on our way over on Friday, then half a day after we left Wangaratta but on the whole it was great caching weather. We did drive a few slippery muddy roads, but nothing too bad. We also caught up with lots of people either at events or out in the field and enjoyed many great chats. All in all a fun time with lots of Victoria explored and then very tired when I arrived home. [^]Big Grin

Today started off wet when we left Wangaratta heading in a round about way to Bendigo finding caches in a different LGA and others that we had targeted, but thankfully the rain stopped around lunch time which was good. Cool

We spent a bit of time caching around Shepparton as we wanted to find at least 20 caches in this LGA. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache Cybergran V. Smile

Rutherglen Mega Trip. [^] Day 10 - Let the journey back home begin. [^] It was a horrible drizzly rain sort of day but that didn't stop up find a few caches anyway. Wink We had solved quite a few puzzles before coming over so we just had to go and find a few. Cool

Our crew for the week for the mega was:
Bushfire
Anymules
Brisal5
6Hinemoa2
BAB6 for short and to save space in logs. Cool We stayed together for a few caches until we split and then it was just myself and Anymules. We took a targeted way down to Bendigo finding these along the way. Big Grin

A quick stop for us as we passed through today. Smile

Stopped as we slowly heading back to S.A.
Found with JAMS (( JJ52, Allister w, Mogni, plus sir_spectre ) Mitchell&hound wasn't with us this trip) crew. All logs stamped as JAMS to save log space. This trip we are off to the Rutherglen Mega and then slowly coming back to S.A. for a total of 8 dys and 7 nights. The targets of this trip are for JJ52 to get 11 more multi to get to 1000 multi's and a few more Victorian LGA's, Allister W was targeting 17 virtuals ( or as many as he could get ) a few more Victorian LGA's Mogni to make the Rutherglen Mega her 20, 000 find and also for her to complete all Victoria LGA's, sir_spectre needs 1 more multi to get to 1000 multi's and get his Victoria LGS's down to 2 LGA's left. We got 20 or more finds in a LGA if we stayed in there over night. We also detoured to stamp any challenge caches that we were " in the general area off " and to complete that challenge before we came back to S.A. This meant that some times dirt road (s) had to be walked down because they were to wet to drive down and/or haven't been repaired since last years flooding. We started off the holiday in the rain and then that cleared up only to start raining and a overnight thunder storm but most of the trip was dry. Over 600 caches found for the trip including over 120 lab stages in that total. Got to complete the GPS Maze at the Rutherglen Mega for a 2nd time. Allister w was the team driver for all of the Victorian part of the trip. I think this was the first trip ever to Victoria that the extension pole didn't get used but the 6.2 meter ladder did get a work out.

Found on our way home after attending the Mega Event in Rutherglen, searching for caches along the way. Today we spent a few hours around Shepparton and Tatura. before heading further afield. Thanks for the Virtual cache Cybergran V!

I visited this Virtual cache as I made my way back to Adelaide after attending the Mega Event at Rutherglen over Easter.

Thanks Cybergran V for the cache. A favourite point for a straightforward virtual cache with a simple logging requirement.

*Cache find # 14276.*

Day 1 of the Rutherglen MEGA trip.
It was an early start to the day so that a few caches could be found along the way, this being one of them and then onto the ones around Rutherglen to join in on the fun with everyone else that is searching out here.
I made a bit of a detour to get this one and a couple of others not too far away.

**Thanks to Cybergran V for placing this cache.**

Very interesting history. Not something we would dare to do today.

barb2e and I are in a drive to collect counties and decided to come through Shepparton.


The rain just cleared a bit.

I am making the long journey from Adelaide to the Rutherglen Mega over Easter. I missed the Wangaratta Mega event a couple of years ago so I am giving myself an extra few days to explore the wider area.

I made a quick stop here to admire the statue.

Thanks for the cache Cybergran V.
