Found by Mary and David with the VIC1 group. Today we started with the Bon Accord track caches and several others around Harrietville. After lunch at the pub, we headed out of town to tyackle the F.L.A.K.E. cache, which we completed. We found few Trads and multis along the way, and finished the day with an Event at the Bright pub. Our thanks to Ronice88.

Chewinprickles, BettyBoo3747 and I decided upon today to try some of the F.L.A.K.E. puzzlesSo we loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Harrietville.We had solved them all when they first came out, but had not got around to look for them. We had to look at the puzzles again as so many of the hides were well themed.Nice puzzles and great hides for this series.We were trying to work out the roads around the area, so Chewin was the one to spot this hide.Heard a fair number of birds over the next collection of caches. Didn't have our guide with us though.Thanks, Robmc.

# 21626. The puzzle solver Robmc has had these done for a long time now. While the weather is still pleasant and with all the autumn colour in full force we decided to team up with Chewinprickles and have a nice ride and some harder walking to knock over this series.A bit messy along here at present huge amounts of grading work has been done, piling stuff off to the side. A nifty little hide that Chewin discovered first.Thanks Ronice88

Drove to the first few of these caches before resorting to Shanks pony for a few more. Thanks again Ronice88

We had solved these caches bit by bit when they came out and what great puzzles they were! We did have a bit of trouble with this one but got there in the end. We had asked our niece about the weather up here and she said it can be warmer in summer and cooler in winter so we waited thill the weather was cooling down a bit in Melbourne and on the spur of the moment on Saturday we booked a place for Mon-Thur! After taking pretty much a whole day to get here yesterday and catching up with our niece late arvo there was no time to do any caches here yesterday so we made up for it today!! We headed north out of Harrietville and this was the next cache for the day. Cache was a nice easy find, with an appropriate log holder! TFTC Ronice88 - GJMMelb

After a couple of days walking out and staying overnight at federation Hut , Mt Feathertop with Purplepeopleater. We had a go at doing caches around Harrietville and surrounding areas. With Puzzles solved and traditional cached to get, it made for a busy day of easy and not so easy terrain ratings. I will be back another day to finish off some of the ones we missed.

Down in the Victorian Highlands for a couple of days hiking and geocaching with DKMakka. Perfect weather and a welcome relief from the Sydney humidity.Solved the Flake Series in anticipation of our trip, and enjoyed the well themed and innovative puzzles. A lot of work has gone into the caches themselves and it was great to discover some monster size caches mixed into. An excellent series and loads of fun (and effort) Thanks Ronnice88, I will be back hopefully sooner than later to this wonderful area.SL TFTC

Found at 11:44 AM GAFF1.We are really getting into the bush now - our favourite caching eperience Thanks to Ronice88

Out and about with weirdobiker who was {FTF}I am always a bit of a twit so related well to this cache. Amazing how many gorgeous birds we have seen while here. Recently I was in Japan and we saw only a few bird varieties. Very surprising and disturbing.TFTC Ronice

{FTF} yay, I had my eye on the this one for a first to find and while staying in Harrietville for a few days I set out early to collect this one. After a little bit of a glitch I finally found it. This was another lovely little puzzle from Ronice88

Found on a return trip to an area I had already visited. At the time I suspected there might be more hides here but hadn't yet solved the puzzles. I will still have to return to collect some more as well. Hide a bit tricky until you solve the hint, then it all makes sense. TFTC
