By The_Tritonz on 11-May-22. Waypoint GC9TM8C

Signed today.Will check the challenge later.Hunter

After driving through Dimboola multiple times we decided this time to divert and sign all the challenges along here including the new ones. We qualify for most but not all yet.TFTCC [Brad&Janet](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Brad%26Janet) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9TM8C/68954 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.I've found 3201 qualifying caches!Brad and Janet are on another epic trip. This time across South Australia to Broken Hill. Then through central and Northern NSW and up into Qld where we will be picking up a new hybrid house-on-wheels. Then we will head south down through more of NSW via Sydney to catch up with B2. Then further south until we get into Victoria from where we will head back into South Australia. Along the way we will grab caches of opportunity.

I am so very excited to log this Challenge cache. I have been diligently working my way towards qualifying thanks to the help of my partner dalerious . Thank you The_Tritonz . Well, when dalerious and I signed this challenge only a couple of weeks ago, I was a couple of hundred short of qualifying whilst my hubby qualified easily. There was only one thing to do dalerious, we need to get to Mildura and I need to find 200 caches in 2 days! Well I ended up finding and signing 270 caches over the 2 days.dalerious drove us both to the first cache, and I would walk/jog to the next, so on etc.The things you do to qualify for good challenges.

Well this is one we really had to earn. Having signed this challenge with catnap777 only a couple of weeks ago, we then went out on a mystery cache frenzy. That weekend we found and loged all of the "This is SA" series and the next weekend we took on the "Paddle Steamer" Geoart up Mildura way to help my life partner qualify as well. [:X] Now that project GC has caught up with all our furious logging, and cat' has indeed fallen over the line too, today we both get to say.... Found It! [^]TFTChallenge The_Tritonz. Keep 'em comin'.

Visited & signed 5 October 2024 with catnap777 @ 3:50pm. Last one. [^]After taking on the "This is SA" series, and making our way all the way up to Mount Moffatt for our first forray into The Little Desert, catnap777 & I, in the old Holden Rodeo took on several other deep-sand driving tracks both before and after a couple of CITO events we had posted our will attend for. Last thing before heading for home was to pick up all the challenge caches out Dimboola way that weren't published the last time we came through. Some we qualify for, some we dont, but thanks either way for the challenges. Keep em comin.

5 October 2024 15:38dalerious and I were on the road again and this week we were heading to Dimboola and beyond . As usual we were targeting specific caches and in particular, challenge caches that popped up in the area since the last time we visited. So these gems are signed, and all there is left to do is go out and get what's required to qualify for them.Thank you The_Tritonz for the challenge .

Oh I forgot to read the hint, we needed to go back to car. Retrieved and stamped log and replaced.

I'm thoroughly enarmoured with Dimboola, its public art and tributes to its history. Its been great exploring the country out west with plenty of highlights to remember. TFTC and the lure.

Found this whilst in the area but I am yet to qualify. So I have stamped the log and will log as a find once I qualify.

Found at 1:34 PM GAFF1.Hey hang on - but there is a nice stump right next to the track that could hold a "regular"!! Oh wait it's a T3.5 which required some extra effort. I see now and then had to go back to the car (an extra 150 metre walk there and back [xx(] ) to get the right equipment. And then I looked in the wrong hole at first!Thanks to The_TritonzAs at 21 April 2024 our stats show that we have found 6,044 "Unknown" caches which I presume are the same as "Mystery" caches

As our convey of three vehicles headed across from SA through VIC & NSW, we are focusing on collecting some LGAs before heading to the ACT Mega. To save space on all log sheets, we signed as 5 for QLD.All caches we found were in good condition, and with the odd wet logbook being replaced with write in the rain paper.Snickersallan fulfills challenge 2000 Mystery Cache Challenge (GC9TM8C) according to https://project-gc.com/ChallengesThank you to all cache owners for placing these hides for the benefit of the geocaching community

We attended a Mega in Adelaide for Leap Year, and are now slowly making our way to Canberra for the Easter Mega. We called in here to find this series of Challenge Caches, because we know we are close to some and will fill others in the future.We are using the Acronym 5 for QLD to sign the log sheets. As this is a bulk GSAK logging, I do not have time to check the individual cache to see if I qualify just yet. That will come later. Today, I am just recording that my name is in the log Sheet.It was a pleasant drive through that countryside, and we were pleased to find all the caches on our list. TOTT to the rescue.So, log signed and cache replace as found on 16th March, 2024. TFTC, The_Tritonz.

Heading now to Canberra, cross crossing across the states picking up LGAs as we travel.Will complete logging when I get home.Caching with and signing as 5 for QLD. RoddyC hatzofff imbunda snickersallan and grannysmith1947.TFTCache The_Tritonz

Well after a whirl wind tour of Tasmania to help with 3 challenges that Im working on, I got back in late Tuesday night then packed the Geowagon and headed off to SA early Wednesday morning to attend the Leap Year Mega and to also tick off some LGAs along the way as well.Well after crossing the border and staying in Millicent, Wellington, Cape Jervis, Kingscote and then in Adelaide for a week and an half Im now safely back in Victoria on home soil.The Leap Year Mega was a great event and I had a ball and another Mega to add to my list.Stayed in Nhill last night as Kaniva was booked out for a wedding and now to make the final trip home.After attending a Wedding in Dimboola I followed this track home to sign these challenges and I will check them when I get home to see if I qualify.Thanks The Tritonz TFTCC.

We travel by car and Geocaching helps us discover many nice places and often helps to decide where we choose the route between our goals which are: Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Dunedeen, and Adelaide. This is one of the caches we found on the trip and we thank you for showing us this place. We who are on tour have the nicknames: MrVonsr, ingsve, EllenSch and TeamEika.

Found with frilk. Full log to follow. I qualify

Despite doing lots of puzzles, I'm not quite there yet. But thought I'd stop on the way to Adelaide

Not qualified for yet...still a few to go!

Quickly found with Nibletricecakes on Day 5 of our Adelaide Leap Day Mega trip. Will see if I qualify when I get home. TFTC.

Heading to Bordertown en route to the Adelaide Mega, I stopped by a few caches to break up the journey. I now have over 2400 Mystery caches, so I do qualify. I used a TOTT to grab this one.My thanks for the cache, The_Tritonz.

Endelig har jeg og MrVon sr kommet oss ned til Australia og New Zealand, -en gammel drm er gtt i oppfyllelse. Team Eika og Ingsve har ogs reist i flge med oss p denne turen. Vi har reist p kryss og tvers i en mned, og mlet er ende opp i Adeleide og megaevent p skuddrsdagen. Vi har spesielt sett etter gamle cacher, for fylle jasmern, for et par stykker, og for oss to andre som har begynt tenke p gjennomgang to.De aller fleste dukket greit frem p plassene sine,noen ganger mtte vi lete litt, men var som regel heldige tilslutt. Noen DNFer ogs ble det ogs.????Vi har for det meste logget med fellesnicket N4 (ingsve,Von sr. TeamEika og Ellen Sch) men ogs egne nicknavn er brukt.En stor takk til alle dere COer for utlegg og vedlikehold av cachene deres. Uten deres arbeid, hadde vi aldri kunnet kost oss med denne hobbyen.Alltid hyggelig med et nytt smilefjes p kartet.????Cachehilsen fra Ellen Sch, Norge????????????Me and MrVon sr have come down to Australia and New Zealand, -an old dream has finally come to an end. Team Eika and Ingsve have also traveled with us on this trip.We have been traveling cross-country for a month, and the goal is to end up in Adeleide and mega-event on the leap year. We have especially looked for old caches, to fill jasmer'n, for a couple of pieces, and for the other two of us who have started to think about reviewing more.The vast majority of them showed up at their places, sometimes we had to search a bit, but we were usually lucky in the end. There were also some DNFs.????We have mostly logged in with the common nickname N4 (ingsve, Von sr. TeamEika and Ellen Sch), but our own nicknames are also used.A big thank you to all you CO's for laying out and maintaining your caches. Without their work, we would never have been able to make a living with this hobby.Always nice to have a new smiley face on the map.????Cache greetings from Ellen Sch, Norway????????????[Ellen Sch](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Ellen%20Sch) har brukt [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9TM8C/68954 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") for se om vedkommende er kvalifisert for denne utfordringen, og det er vedkommende.I've found 12544 qualifying caches!

Signed on the way to the Adelaide Mega. Not yet qualify! We love puzzles and have found over 1000, so may be a few years before we qualify!

As a once in a lifetime holiday, this year we are traveling for 7 weeks to Vietnam, Bali, Australia and New Zealand. In Australia we meet Ellen Sch and MrVon sr and Ingsve to visit these last two countries, so here we cache together. We signed the log with N4. Now we have solved many caches so we have a large number of solved coordinates. But we are interested in all types of caches, so if you receive a log, it means that we have visited your cache. We haven't quite decided where we're going, but we'll probably let the weather decide for us. We want warmth because in Norway it is now freezing. We will stay for about 2 weeks in Australia and 2 weeks in New Zealand and we will end the trip with the Mega event in Adeleide on 29 February. So thank you very much to all of you who make it possible for us to travel around finding caches. On March 6, we set course for Norway again. There are extremely nice people everywhere and we are welcomed, we thank you very much. Thanks to our cache friends for good company on the trip.Som en gang i livets ferie reiser vi i r 7 uker til Vietnam, Bali, Australia og New Zealand. I australia mter vi Ellen Sch og MrVon sr og Ingsve for beske disse to siste landene, s her cacher vi sammen. N har vi lst mange cacher s vi har et stort antall med lste koordinater. Men vi er jo inntressert i alle typer cacher s hvis du mottar en logg s betyr det at vi har beskt cachen din. Vi har ikke bestemt oss helt hvor vi reiser men vi lar nok vret bestemme for oss. Vi nsker oss varme for i Norge er det n kuldegrader. Vi blir ca 2 uker i Australia og 2 uker p New Zealand og vi avslutter turen med Megaeventet i Adeleide den 29 februar. S tusen takk til alle dere som gjr det mulig for oss reise rundt finne cacher. 6 mars setter vi kursen mot Norge igjen. Det er srdeles hyggelige mennesker overalt og vi nskes velkommen, vi takker s mye.

Thanks The_Tritonz for this challenge cache.

I’m always up for a challenge, so a detour was taken and logs were signed. I don’t believe I qualify for any but then they wouldn’t be challenges

TFTC The_Tritonz for the challenge. At this stage we are not sure whether we meet the challenges . We have signed the logs and will check when we settle down with reliable connections.

Found on a road trip to Ballarat. Always great to qualify for a challenge. I am pretty ordinary with puzzles so often need help with them. Today I needed help from Allisterw with the ladder retrieval. TFTC

On a road trip with Michells&hound and allister w over to Ballarat to complete the Geo Tour as well as other highly favourited caches and odd ones we were going past. We had a great weekend with four seasons of weather over the three days and even managed to attend an event in Sebastopol before heading home. Saw lots of the countryside and very interesting places in and around Ballarat. [^]

Last time I was here in December I couldn't sign the log because we didn't have a ladder and couldn't reach the cache. This time we did have a ladder and I was able to sign the log as I well and truly qualify for this one.

Thanks for the cache The_Tritonz.

Found with JJ52 and Michells&hound on our Ballarat Geo Tour trip. We left Adelaide early Friday morning and travelled home Sunday. We found all the Ballarat Geo Tour caches over the weekend as well as a few others along the way. We even attended a event in Sebastopol on Sunday before we headed home. I just scraped over the line with this challenge I have found 2046 Mystery Caches so far. I got the ladder out and found this cache which is the least I can do because my geocaching friends have helped me find at least 95% of my Mystery Caches.

Dropped past GZ today and added our name to the logbook. Will have work out if we qualify for this challenge yet or not. Cheers for the cache.

On our way home from attending an appointment in Ballarat we took the opportunity to log these challenge caches, there is 2 that we signed but do not qualify for, these we will work on to allow us to log these as found.

Plan A was to go to the Ottway Rangers, complete the Geo tour in Ballarat and then head to Geelong and take the Queenscliff ferry over to Sorrento then grabbing new LGA's on route to almost the New South Wales/Victoria border and the old 2001 cache near there. Also attending a community day event, a CITO and a couple of other events as well. Then head in to the high country and come back to SA in 11 days. Things didn't go to plan. Turns out that one of my almost new tyres was defective ( side wall blown out ) and blew in the ottway ranges on a narrow road in the rainforest, Drove to Melton to stay overnight and get a new tyre there, tyre machine broken and the other 5 tyre companies not open so off to geelong for a new tyre ( and some caches on the way and in geelong ) . The event we where going to attend in geelong didn't turn out, he was late by ALOT to his own event.Then to ballarat to same day since we had a b&b booked for the next few nights. Planned on getting the ferry at 1200 and ended up on the 400 pm ferry but we did attend a event and CITO in geelong. Then we drive into the rear end of a thunder storm with forecast 20 mm dropping for the next few days. Cancel the high country and change targets to letterbox D/T for fizzy grid only using letterboxes and same wirh the multi fizzy grid plus fizzy grid only using victorian caches plus any challenge caches we where near. Plus getting a few more victorian 2001 caches. And finally any caches that had 40 more more favourite points. Only got soaked to the bone for a couple of days but the water on the tracks was noticeable. On the return home tried to get the rest of the missing LGA's around the Melbourne CBD i missed in the last mega. Still a fun trip was had if not the planned one.

I was on a road trip with sushilord heading to Bendigo for a few days and finding caches far and wide. We weren't after numbers just out of the way places and caches with lots of favourite points. We had an enjoyable and fun time, but I was stuffed by the time we got home.

We were on our way home and decided to stop at these challenge caches even though I don't qualify for them all...more challenges to work towards. [^]

I qualify for this one but we didn't have a ladder so it will have to wait until next time.

Thanks for the cache The_Tritonz.

JJ52 and myself had a fun and productive three days traveling to visit Bendigo and finding some caches along the way. Any excuse to stretch the car's legs. Today it as time to head home via some back roads to gather up some out of the way caches.

I hadn't planned on needing a ladder here. Any way it doesn't matter, I haven't yet achieved the 1,000 multi cache challenge.

An arvo drive to Dimboola. After securing a shiny I was off to gather the ad lab and some other smilies.

Seeing this short challenge trail I headed off before the rains came.

Signed today, but I don't qualify for yet.
I have a few more to find on this one.

TFTC The_Tritonz

Found by Mary and David at 15:20. Well this one took us ages. Who has the back seat fully loaded and the ladder lived behind that back seat? Had to unload a lot of stuff by the roadside. M doesn't like holding the ladder while D climbs, so roles reversed. Not in the first place M looked, so relocated and extended the ladder more. Surprised to see so many names. Cache snug and dry. M very glad to get back to ground level. A FP.

I have done this great little series twice as Papi4506 and I completed it before heading out to Kiata to camp and again the following day with Team Crackers. It is a lovely area to take a drive although I wasn't expecting prime movers on the road this early. Not sure who got the biggerst surprise though, the driver or myself. Thanks for placing these caches. Now to work on qualifying for as many as possible. Thank you for placing them and setting some new challenges.
Still about 500 or so behind in my logging so will check later and see what I qualify for. Thanks.

Travelling with Geoturtle37, Papi4056 and micapapamedic, we hadn't even checked to see if we had qualified for these challenges but it was a great opportunity to add our name to the log and hopefully one day fulfil them.
Happily on checking we did meet the requirements for this one, many thanks The_Tritonz for placing these caches for us to find.

*Cache find # 13686.*

This weekend I was heading to the Little Dessert for a couple of celebrations events but on the way, I had a slight detour through a few LGA's that I was needing a few more finds for a certain Whittlesea challenge cache.
Another reason to come out this way was to also find this group of challenge caches and find them I did.
Well that was a little bit of an effort to get up to this one.

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

Road-trip!!! Things had started to settle down post Mega so I decided to jump on board The Tritonz latest desert adventure. I ended up leaving later than planned so there was some night time caching involved.

I was very familiar with this challenge, however still fall a few mysteries short of qualifying. Log signed ready for the not to distant future.

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

November 2022. Time for the second Victorian Mega of the year. This time in Whittlesea. What is it with W's? Time for another epic road trip. Who will join our merry crew? We traveled from South Australia and camped in the pig pen. It rained. It blew. It was sunny. It was not sunny. All four seasons. Beautiful location and some awesome caches.

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.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

After doing 2 in the series last time through the area, returned today to complete it, all caches were easily found and are all good

After the mega in Whittlesea over the past few days, e.gregory1, freddo and I headed home on a roundabout route via Bendigo and St arnaud to collect a few caches on the way.

Thanks for the cache

Whittlesea Mega Wobble and Wade Tour: Day 1: No Entry - Wrong Way.

Once again myself and Anymules headed to Victoria for a Mega event ignoring the very familiar sign at the border. As usual despite leaving early and only wanting to get to Ballarat we arrived at our overnight digs just as it was getting dark. [^] We stopped for a few new caches and lab caches, many caches were found and unless something stood out these will be generic logs.

FTF gone, FP for this one. Nice to see that I qualify with well over 3000 mystery finds. Checked PJC and it seems as though there is a 'glitch' on my profile. Evidence to follow soon.

On my way...
