Making the most of the end of the school holidays! Filling in a few more calendar days. A clever little idea!!! The neighbours dog didnt agree so much though. Many thanks Zinnia94 for providing this game piece for our enjoyment.
Found with LittleBoss2 on a hot hot Tuesday. Short walk from the car. Thanks for placing zinnia94. Now the name and the road make sense
Found with Bogonghazy whilst staying at Numurkah for a week. Thanks for placing the geocache
Reperio 08:32The youngest and I headed into Shepparton today from staying with family in Nathalia, and were looking to spend the day finding some local caches. We pulled up at GZ, and went to the likely spot, and indeed we found light! Well sort of. With the area so flooded at the moment, it nice to still be able to retrieve this one. Gratias Zinnia94As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 1.:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 1:3 And God said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT," and there was light. 1:4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 1:5 God called the light "day" and the darkness he called "night". And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day.Thanks Zinnia94 for a cache that highlights the beginning of God's creation and very appropriately on Lord Road!!!Needed a cache today to complete my January calendar so thought I would venture out to Lord Road and as well as grabbing this cache, check out how far the floodwaters had come (photo attached). Thankfully a quick find at GZ and quick access to the log. Found a similar cache at Wangaratta once and had great trouble accessing the log, so much so one of my big flaws, anger, took over and consumed me. Nice hide Zinnia94. TFTC
There is an obvious hiding spot here but it took a little longer to find the cache in its somewhat obscure niche. I enjoyed the find, the container and the dry log.
My Trip
Yesterday i managed to strain my knee while doing some cleaning up outside, this morning it seemed to hurt more and i decided that i wouldnt be able to get back to the task today. I was feeling a bit caged inside and wondered what i could do that wouldnt strain my left knee too much while also allowing me to do some gentle exercise as well. Driving would be ok... Short walks would help it.... Some sun and nature always makes me feel better.... hmmm.... Well caching sounds perfect!
So i checked out my map and decided to head in the Shep direction where i could catch an event as well. So i strapped the knee, grabbed the geopooch and my geo-go bag and set off.

Thought I better grab this one on the way back to work before I knock knock. Thank you for a great find.
Drove out after work to grab this cache to fill another blank day in the caching calendar. Loved the idea of this. Made me laugh too. TFTC Zinnia94
Ha! A very funny cache. Our eyes are out of sorts today, so glad this one gave us a bit clearer vision. TFTC!
Cache found and log signed with dalerious and LizzieandE 
.
After spending the morning with our daughter enjoying a beautiful birthday breakfast in Shepparton, we drove back to Tatura to meet up with LizzieandE for some good old fashion caching.
We decided to head back East as time had got away from us, and dalerious and I had sheep to unload at 1500.
This was the fourth cache visited for the short afternoon of caching, and it brought us to a beautiful forest. Much nicer here than the forest between Mooroopna and Shepparton.
Thank you for bringing us here on such a lovely afternoon Zinnia94.

.Found with friends while cruising on a lazy Sunday chasing caches. 
Piling in with LizzieandE, catnap777 and I made it a caching foursome as we toured the town picking up a few newish caches we had all yet to visit.
[:X] [:X] 
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
You mean to tell me he did all that in the dark? He created everything before he turned the light on???
Oh Lord! We couldn't even find this cache in the middle of the day without first pulling out a torch. [B)]
Oh the irony!
TFTC Zinnia94.

What a crazy day![|)][|)] Seemed that umpteen phone calls and emails and distractions later[|)][|)], I decided it was time for Rex' run in the forest[^][:X], alcohol for me[^] and tea[^]: all while talking to my sister on the phone[:X][:X]
Hence I did not see this cache until it had been published for 14minutes
[?] , while I was parked at the front of Dan Murphy's, saying goodbye to my sis!
Big decision: alcohol or cache[?][?][?][?]
The grog won
but tea got skipped!
Well, only until after the cache had been found! [^]
Anyhoo Rex and I drove out to GZ[^] and it is fascinating how many different smells there are at night in the country
At GZ, I got out the car with my handheld sun[^] Lo and behold: there was light! and a cache[^][^]
After SL we took a drive further down the road as Rex wanted another run already[:X]
He heard a noise near the fence and then jumped backwards
It was a calf on the road side of the fence and Rex didn't know what to make of it
So he just trotted down the middle of the road past it[^][:X][^][^]
Woohoo! *FTF*
Took scratchie ticket. This one wasn't a winner
The last ticket won me $2[:X] however I swapped that for 2 more tickets and neither of them were winners

This cache popped up when I was dishing up dinner. I had just arrived home from Tatura after soccer training and saw the notification. It had been 40 minutes and there was no activity, so… I grabbed my keys and ran out the door.
As I was driving I kept refreshing the page. Only 5 minutes into my journey and bugger, locus cache beat me to it!
It’s now nearly midnight and it’s got the better of me. I needed to fill a calendar spot so off I went again.
No head torch but I did have my phone.
The cache was found quickly, log signed then back home to my Pepperjack shiraz.
TFTC I look forward to the next
