Another quick one on the drive home to Melbourne, really enjoyed reading the historical stories at some of the ones placed by Duntulum. TFTC!
10:37Last day on the road for a short while, Horsham to Belarine Peninsula. As per yesterday, quite a number of rest spots as directed by the GPS'r. Our thanks to 'Duntulum' for adding this cache to this series on the geo-gameboard.37915*This log composed and published using Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK).*
A nice quick and easy find, but have a feeling it should have been lower than where found, so replaced within keeping with the hint.TFTC which gave Mrs Riddell a break on her journey to Dimboola to do the 4 day pack walk on the Little Desert Discovery walk which commences in 2 days time.Weather will be a bit better then too, though cold at night in the tent.Now continuing on the journey.
TFTC first log with the official Daley Events and Astrocar123 stamp! Log is saturated but our new red stamp seemed to work ok. Forgot to change the date so please ignore that.
Heading up the the highway with chooknchunk on this bleak winters day with chunk being our chauffeur for the day we managed to still cache our way to Halls Gap in anticipation for the CO's event.Chooknchunk had this one so they were able to guide us to the hide quickly. The logbook was found totally drenched so we had to squeeze it out before using our write in the rain pen. Unfortunately our bag of replacements were back in our car. Thanks Duntulum for the cache placement.
Working in horsham today so this was a good spot to stop and stretch the legs (home bound). Quick find here. Ive left others in the area for the next trip!
A quick cache find while up in the area for an event. Had no idea this vineyard was once here. TFTC Duntulum.
I found this geocache during a recent trip, however, for sme reason my log didn't automatically upload from my GPS as it is programmed to.Thanks for your cache hide and the effort that you put into maintaining it,
We had lunch at the nearby winery and on our way out stopped here to pick up the cache. Thanks for the cache Duntulum.
Today was the second day of our trip to Adelaide fir our second grand-daughter's birthday. As this cache was next to the highway, there was no option but to stop. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache and the break in our travels.
Find 4615 on February 27, 2024Day#1 on Fergzters roadtrip to the Great Leap Forward Mega Event in Adelaide. Today's stretch was from Ballarat to somewhere near Horsham. Great little piece of history learnt here. All is well with the cache. TFTC Duntulum
Heading to Bordertown en route to the Adelaide Mega, I stopped by a few caches to break up the journey. This was my first cache for the day, and was a nice and quick find.Thanks to Duntulum for the cache.
Found with crank1 while on our way to Adelaide for The Great Leap Forward event. Duntulum, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area.
Found by Mary and David at 11:45. Our 3rd for the day as we make our way to Adelaide for Leap Day. Halls Gap has been in the news, so we think of you often. We've found two previous caches around here. Our thanks to Duntulum.
Nice placement. Easy park and grab whilst travelling through on business.TFTC now time for a Power Nap
Found on our way to Ararat.The car park was empty and in surpsingly good condition today.The cache was soon found, hard to imagine there were grapes growing here back in the day when you look at this spot today.
Find No. 4590. Found with FUF009 at 2.15pmSeeing how there are some new caches out in the Halls Gap and Stawell area, we decided we would have a caching day and see what we could find. FUF009 came with us. Today we were in the red car.First up we done a series of six caches on the outskirts of Halls Gap, where we walked the track past crocodile infested waters, T-Rex Fernery and Raptor undergrowth. We even spotted a Terrydactyl nest high up in a tree. (Good to let your imagination go wild - just like these caches we found)Luckily we managed to return to the car unharmed after earning ourselves six smilies.From here we went into town for a look around, had a cuppa in the park, watching the birds nearby. We then done some stages of the Adventure Lab. We also got a stage of another Ad Lab that starts in Bendigo. Then we headed towards the Botanic Gardens, found a couple more caches, before heading back to Stawell, on our way home, finding caches along the way as we went.After having lunch in a park opposite Mitre 10, we then headed out the road to find the two new ones out that way. Then it was back into Stawell and out another road heading towards Great Western to find one out that way. Luckily the Parking Bay was big and the cache was at the far end as there was a muggle bikie having a rest not far in. We just parked the car, got out and read the sign while locating the cache. Now it's back into Stawell.An enjoyable day spent caching.TFTC Duntulum
Find # 13453Found with Tyred n Cranky.A day out Stawell and Halls Gap way.Seeing as a few new caches appeared on the map we decided to head off and attempt them.After doing a small trail just out of Halls Gap and then having a look around town we headed back to Stawell to find the newer ones around. From one side of Stawell to way out n away the other side. Never been to this spot before. Cache was a quick grab, only 1 muggle parked up. But we got the car close enough to hide our search. TFTC Duntulum
I saw a bunch of new caches in the area so did a weekend drive around Stawell - Halls Gap.A quick find here, thanks Duntulum.
*FTF* 01.55amWe first saw the emails for a group of new caches at 9.30pm, we soon realised that they had been published at 11.30am. First there was the talk, if we had seen the emails when they came out we know we would have been in the car and on our way. Now a little history about us, we are known for going out to find caches at any time of the day or night. As we do not live in a cache dense area anymore this has not been such a thing for us. The decision to head out at 10pm was an easy one for us as in the morning we are having the tree loppers in to remove a tree and a stump and we do not know what time they will arrive. We are so grateful that the CO has taken care with the placement of these caches as all of the co-ords were spot on. We have driven through Great Western many many times and we have never realised that this lovely rest stop was here, the tables are a bonus and we did not find the surface to rough, we have been on worse that are meant to be our main highways. Thank you for showing us this area. SL TFTC
