Second day with a Group of cachers who also collaborated on the puzzles. We had a most enjoyable two days in the area. Many thanks for all the caches. Signed as Vic1.

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.

Found today on day 2 of our Snomo and Flake series in company of maccamob, Muzza, Alansee, micaparamedic, McLookers, feathertop and ThePacman. Log signed as VIC1. This was found on our afternoon walk through the Flake series. Thanks from D B-A

Found today with maccamob, Muzza, Alansee, micaparamedic, Rabbitto, feathertop and ThePacman.Thanks for placing the cache Ronice88.

Out today around Harrietville with Alansee, Feathertop, Maccamob, Rabbitto, Pacman, Micaparamedic and McLookers, concentrating mainly on finishing the SNOMO caches before lunch, then F.L.A.K.E., with a few others along the way. All caches found in good order. Signed or stamped as Vic1.Thanks to Ronice88 for the cache.

And so to the Flake caches. Following lunch in humid stormy conditions we set off on a long bike path walk. All caches found with nice coords. A few trads found as well. Log signed as VIC1. Found today with maccamob, Muzza, Alansee, micaparamedic, Rabbitto, Mclookers and ThePacman. Day 2 and weather threatening.Onto our last section now. A rugged walk off track for some of the wayThanks 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.Took a while to get into this puzzle, and the final was similar.Probably the only one in this series not on an obvious trail.Thanks, Robmc.

# 21635. 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.Last three entailing a walk - not very good or fast at that but never mind. Looking forward to getting to the riding part of the day.Thanks Ronice88

Ditched the car in favor of bicycles from now on. Had a very pleasant ride along the path grabbing these caches along the way. Thanks Ronice88

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 12:42 PM GAFF1.Not sure I approached this cache the right way! I had to bush bash from the previous cache as I could clearly see the structure that the GPSr was pointing to - but it was way over there! Is there supposed to be a track to get to this cache?Thanks to Ronice88

kbucky accompanied me to find a few caches in the vicinity despite already having found some of them. As it happened, when I opened the log, so had I. We had obviously approached from a different direction and I did not log as I went. That is a mistake I have not previously made. Oh well, on to the next cache and I hope I don't do any more repeat visits.

The Snow Flake! I was a bit late to the party with this new geoart and needed assistance with most of the puzzle solves but I managed to get a few to collect whilst in town with the geokids this long weekend Awesome work with the hides again Ronice! Big caches are something you do so well! And the kids appreciate it!Lots of hard work has gone into the creation of this series. Thank you! Its a beautiful place to go searching for caches in. Great stash here!

Found. FLTC
