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.

# 21656. 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.Risking the road, off we went across it to the fenceline for a quickish find as our last cache for the day.Thanks 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.Our last cache for the day, as this was not on our trail.A quick find and back on the trail for the ride back tot he cars.Thanks for this lovely series and good hides.Thanks, Robmc.

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 lovely relaxing lunch by the river and a change of clothes as it was warming up, we set off for an arvo of caching admiring the beautiful surrounds at different points along the way. This was the next for the arvo and JMelb was the one to spot this one. Cute little cache! In fact I have one very similar at home! 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 2:11 PM GAFF1.Thought I had the wrong co-ords as it was not on the bike trail. So on the way back to camp, I stopped by from the road side and found a lovely little cache. So much work has gone into these caches to put a smile on a cachers face.Thanks to Ronice88

Once write source found easy to solve but source took a bit. Again I learnt something new.Out with the fab weirdobiker cruisy around Harrietville to find both Snowmo and FLAKE series. Dont think I will ever get home at this rate!Thanks for all the fab caches, puzzles, hospitality and fun finds.regardskbucky

I was out with kbucky today to collect the majority of the SNOMO series. It was a beautiful day to be walking along the Bon Accord track. The numerous bird calls really added to the magical atmosphere of this lovely setting. We had a very busy day, walking over 13km's and then a quick bike ride along the Great Alpine road to collect some of the F.L.A.K.E series. It was a coincidence that I met a local woman hiking on the Bon Accord track and then I met her again, and her husband, on the bike trail as they were also riding. We were surprised to cross paths twice in the same day.This puzzle was a logical puzzle once you know what is needed.

FTF. Found after a morning finding some of the solved SNOMO puzzles. I returned to the F.L.A.K.E. puzzles and collected this one on the way past. A very tricky puzzle to solve until you have the correct source material. TFTC
