Thanks for the cache! Geokid appreciated the swaps and an easy find! Thanks for find #525 #16
Found while accompanied by the CO on a bit of a maintenance run. The idea was she would chauffeur me around and I would find the caches, she would see if any maintenance was required. That lasted as long as it took for us to hop in her car and find it had a flat battery. Take two. Now I am driving with her directing me where to go. Had a fun few hours picking up caches around the area. Don't ask me where I actually drove, I was lost after the first few turns.A quick find after following the directions. Signed and replaced all as found. TFTC
A bit of a detour though Shepparton instead of sitting down for lunch, meant that we could find this cache. We counted out the concrete pads, as instructed by the CO, and found ourselves bang on GZ. A good sized cache in excellent condition was found shortly thereafter. Never seen so many pens in a cache before!! No excuse for not signing the log!!
I'm always looking to add to my letterbox finds so I couldn't resist finding this one. I was guided to the subtle clue in the description by the lovely CO the night before at the event. Jascat did the counting and we were soon signing our names in the logbook. Love a bit of teamwork.
*18 Aug 2024, Found @1:40PM, Find # 3886.*Another letterbox to add to my total is always good. Having never found a cache by this CO I was more than happy to tag along with my caching buddies to this one. Some simple maths was all that was required. The Rustys made the find here.**Thanks to Cybergran V for placing this cache.**
Out and about with omegaman, Happy feet and Happy Pants, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks Cybergran V for the cache.

Found this cache whilst on our two month adventure throughout central Australia and remote parts of WA.This was an interesting adventure which took me a little to work out, once I had a plan I had to choose the right path, which I did. Soon enough I had the CIHThanks to all the COs for adding to our adventure. TFTC
Day 11 of my interstate trip. Today I left Greens Lake Reserve near Stanhope and made my way a bit closer to Sydney spending the night in Everton. I managed to find 1 caches today and only 1 DNF.Last find of the day. When I arrived I was a bit stumped as to what to do but a quick call for help pointed me in the right direction.TFTC Cybergran V
This is our RDO weekend, consisting of Thursday, Friday & Saturday where we always choose a different location for a caching adventure, this time, sunny Shepparton is our destination. With all Mysteries solved, our aim was to pick them all up in and around town while completing the latest multis that have popped up since our last visit. The weather was brilliant with sunny blue skies making for a fantastic getaway experience.**DAY 2** turned out to be a full day of caching completing the unfound multis and solved puzzles in town before heading out to the various nearby districts for solved puzzles and 2 labcaches.Now as the morning wore on and the sun was defrosting our bones, we continued on our mission.A little confused at first with the instructions we managed to work out what was needed after solving the little puzzle. We counted our way to what we hoped would be GZ to find the great size cache exactly where the instructions cited.A favourite point added.Thanks Cybergran V for the Letterbox placement adding to our caching enjoyment for the day.
On our way back from meeting cybergran we thought we must stop at their local letterbox.Don't forget to bring a pen. And also don't forget to walk up the right path.And now you'll wish you took more notice of the date at the end of tv shows and movies don't you?T4tc
It was super easy working out the directions, but not which way. Luckily I took the right way first and eventually found a lovely big container jam packed with goodies in a great location! Thanks for the Letterbox cache Cybergran V! It helps fill a gap in my calendar.
Figured out about how far this one was from where we parked with goingplaces2 and set off. Very soon we found a nice letter box. So we posted our names in it and then put it back for the next finders. TFTC.
This one worked out very well after following the instructions. A good size letter box was opened, together with ilook4geo. Everything was wet outside, but all was lovely and dry on the inside. Names were noted on the log and all was put back into place. Thanks go to Cybergran V for this cache placement.
Great to see a letterbox in town, I parked up and followed the instructions, the cache was soon found and is all goodOn the way home from the Capital Geobash Mega in the ACT, today I made my way from Corowa/Rutherglen to Kerang via Shepparton, I had no real plan today other than find a few caches for a challenge caches plus visit some places on the back roads I was yet to visit. Thanks for the cache
We came, we saw, we analyised, we paced it out accordingly and found a nice sized cache.TFTC
Found with LittleBoss2 on a hot hot Sunday. Got a little nudge from the CO here. Why do we always overthink things. Great sized cache, thanks again Val
Found with Bogonghazy whilst staying at Numurkah for a week. Thanks for placing the geocache
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. In Shepparton for a few days as we wend our way towards Canberra for the GeoBash. Today we decided to have a lazy day. With a late start, then back to the van for lunch before tootling off and tackling a few more. Mostly less traffic in the CBD due to Sunday but the Harvest festival was definitely drawing a crowd there. Hmmm well we did not understand the instructions at all. We found the cache then decided maybe we understand it in hindsight.[B)]TFTC Cybergran V [^]
Back for redemption...I couldn't work this one out last time. today I returned with extra information and still went the wrong way finally took the Right path and found this Cache
TFTC Cybergran V your cache I C A Letterbox that we found today. We had been here a few days ago and I thought we had completely misunderstood the letterbox instructions. A message to the CO later confirmed that we were on the right path. WE did check around but not good enough. Today after a message from the CO we walked straight up to it. Placed it back as per the hint.Find Count: 17469
First cache for 2024! HAPPY NEW YEAR!After a quick call out for TBSs work we found ourselves in the vicinity of this cache. Of course Im always a few steps behind TBS so of course he found this one first, I was still standing where we had parked the car trying to work out the XXX. I have never been in this area before, thinking I might return to see where all the paths lead to. TFTC A favourite as its the first for the new year
2024 is here and cache number one for the year is ticked off. We parked we pondered then I headed off in one direction while Jo2022AUS stayed and pondered some more. I stopped. I looked, "Here is is!" I said. Jo2022AUS joined me and we emptied the container. Found the stamp and log, signed the log and put everything including all those pens (I now think I should have added my CCF pen to the collection) and replaced the cache as found. Thanks cybergran V for the letterbox cache. Nice symmetry that we both have letterbox caches at opposite ends of Shepp/Kialla. TFTC
Interesting location. Paths going in all directions. Followed the instructions and found the cache where you said it would be. I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

I left scratching my head at all the logs and at the cache page I followed a path to xxx but couldn't see anything I must have been reading something totally wrong . Later found out after talking to the CO that I definately was reading this wrong and I so totally headed in the wrong direction...I shall be back.
A great letterbox cache with loads of goodiesTook TB to move onA favourite point from meSigned and replaced where found TFTC
Yay! We discovered our very first mail cache! Loved the hide! We left a TB as a reward for the next finder; and to celebrate our find. TFTC as always, CyberGran!
Thanks every one for the joint first to find and cybergran V for the placement we give you a favourite point. It was a great night of fun.

Joint {FTF} what fun and what a lead up. Nothing like feeling like a nuff nuff when you can’t get to first base and need a nudgy nudge nudge. A dinner ‘event’, plenty of geo-camaraderie and a group effort got us here in the dark whilst CybergranV looked on with glee. Yes, she is right, we all love a new letterbox. TFTC and the FUN!
With a lot of help from quite a few other Geocachers I enjoyed a joint {FTF}. Thanks to you all for your company. The previous event and the finding of this cache were great and thanks to CybergranV for all your efforts and TFTC.

Joint {FTF} @1950hrs with the CO Cybergran V, our host of the event icybeetas, dalerious, Ronice88, WeAreGleesos, Grub62, bunadoorian and LizzieandE.
There were some strange movements around a particular little court, as people were lining up at the wrong starting gate, but our Clerk of the Course Cybergran V reined us all in back to the 1600meter barrier and then the race was on.
Some nags couldn't count properly and were swabbed after the race.
A huge amount of fun, Mum. Thanks for providing Shepparton with its first Letterbox.
Favourite point given .

Joint [FTF] with the event crowd.
Well we were all full up to pussies bow from the good food from the icybeetas event. But the crowd was hungry for more.
Looks like you can have your cache and meet at it too.
The clue to get to GZ was a bit obscure for some, but not my clever catnap777 who cottoned on straight away and lead the charge to GZ where we all put our names in the humorous hide. [^]
Thanks Cybergran V for hosting the aftershow party by having your new LetterBox cache published this evening for us all to troop off to after the very successful event at The Club.

After a successful event at the Shepparton Club the group with a lot of hilarity and noise made a group FTF by luck. Some couldn't count others couldn't see but eventually the cache was found.
Joint {FTF} What a fun time. After a great event by icybeetas a group of us headed here to try and find this. This cache had been a talk of the event. So with the blue moon appearing we all arrived to start our adventure. As we headed off in different directions counting Cybergran V realised there was a word missing in the description Right it is. So we all set off in the right direction this time. Arriving at GZ the search was on, and it was on! Soon it was discovered and the comment in the descrition made a LOT of sense. Thank you to our fellow group members for including us in this fun mini event. Thank you CybergranV for placing this letterbox for everyone to find and enjoy. A favourite from me.
Joint FTF with a merry group of geocachers. There was plenty of talk at the event of this new letterbox cache that had been published, but not yet found, so after wrapping up a awesome little event, a small convoy of vehicles descended on the location. Even though it was the first night of Spring, there was a touch of winter in the air, but with the super moon shining upon us all, and after a short search, catnap777 soon had the cache in hand. A laugh was had when the full contents of the cache was revealed. Thanks for a good night, I do recommend the BBQ pork belly, and thanks for the letterbox cache Cybergran V
