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.

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.Many 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 walkThanks Ronice88

Drove to the first few of these caches before resorting to Shanks pony for a few more. Impressed with the size and detail in many of these hides. I think it was hereon that we found a place to park and resorted to walking. Thanks again 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.Probably two of my favourite cartoons. Coming from countries that have a lot of snow it must be easy to find the right cartoons.A nice walk to GZ for this one.Thanks, Robmc.

# 21633. 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

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 1:22 PM GAFF3.Was very pleased with myself as I managed to find the track that took me straight to the cache - however it all turned to bedlam as I just couldn't find it! I was looking for a "regular" and the very first spot I looked in didn't seem to have a "regular" so I started looking elsewhere for about 5 minutes, only to go back to the first spot and dig around and found that the cache was actually there - but it was a "small" Thanks to Ronice88Feedback: The cache container is not a "regular", but a "small"

kbucky accompanied me while out on an early morning adventure despite her already having already found some of the hides in this area. A simple but clever little puzzle quick find

Found. FLTC
