Thank you for hosting this geocaching Event! The date of the Event has passed. We automatically archive Events after 30 days (60 days for Mega- and Giga-Events). Attendees can still log archived Events, log trackables, and share their experiences.
They say a good breakfast is the cornerstone of a good day. A Geocaching Breakfast Event is definitely a good start for the day, especially at the Great Victorian Cache Crawl! Another good sized crowd and plenty of anticipation for a good day, despite the prospect of rain. Thanks for organising it Watashi4!
Thank you Watashi4 for hosting, and congratulations on your first, and what a very successful, event.A great start to the day, nice panjacks for brekky, and the official start to my third Great Victorian Cache Crawl, after attending the pre crawl Prequel Event last night.
We came. We crawled. We conquered.We saw an amazing sunrise this morning. What a good omen.Many people were already enjoying the event when we arrived, but I was too late to grab anything before Connie and I set off. I didn't even get to say hello to you Watashi4, to which I am very sorry. Congrats on your first event.Onwards ??
I attended the event, and it was lovely to see everyone there. They were all so getting up early despite the cold weather ??
The best way to start the day? A nice hot cappuccino, surrounded by loads of excited cachers, eager to have a day full of adventures. Thanks for organising and hosting this event, Watashi4 ??
Attended for breakfast I'm exciting for my adventure TGVCCThanks for host this event.??
After a fairly late night this ended up being a very early morning as we were staying about 50 minutes away from this morning's event. We were happy to make it just in time and sign the log book prior to leaving maccas and hooking up with Wozzy and Chunk to enjoy some adventure labs and caching together.Travelling with the gorgeous Snap Happy and the lovely TheDame. Thank you so much for hosting this event and for contributing to this fabulous Victorian Cache Crawl weekend!
The first event for today's crawl but not the first cache. 
Sadly I didn't even know what this establishment had on their menu for breakfast. Luckily they had the thing I craved the most....coffee. 
Batteries charged, stories swapped and off we went. Thanks organizers. 
The 2024 Geocaching Victoria Event Crawl: Day 3: The Crawl from Sunbury to EchucaTwo days of traveling over from S.A. and three days of Events, numerous Adventure Labs, lots of fun, mishaps, and even a few caches found as we crawled around in search of smilies. My companions for the Crawl were Muff1. So Good to catch up with lots of caching friends. [:X]**Thanks Watashi4 for organizing this great event. **

What a great start to what turned out to be an awesome International Geocaching Day. Heaps of people got up early and were eager to get going. Thanks for bringing us together with this event.
This was always on the calendar but not locked in. So pleased that we were able to get to this event which was very well attended. Great to see some more people have joined us over night or early this morning for what is to come. Thanks for organising this event.
It was up early to attend all the events on this weekend for International Geocaching Day. A quick start here at a very packed venue - a good indication of what to expect for the rest of the very social outing.This was a more relaxed day than in previous years, and there was time for a few caches (and even the local the Sunbury parkrun) before heading north.Thanks Watashi4 and all the COs co-ordinating these events which comprised a great weekend.*******The Great Victorian Cache Crawl, International Geocaching Day**2024 - 628km : Sunbury - Echuca - Seymour 2023 - 649km : Ararat - Healesville - Ferntree Gully2022 - 631km : Phillip Island - Queenscliff

A good turnout at the first event and started off the day with a nice sausage and egg muffin. Thanks Watashi4 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

What a weekend... Aim for this weekend was to hit my 3000th Cache and have an awesome time on the cache crawl. Left early afternoon Friday iwh the muggle wife and headed up to Macedon stopping at a few caches along the way.Checked into our hotel in Macedon and then heading across to Riddell's Creek for the pre crawl dinner. A great crowd and some tasty food then it was back for an early night.Saturday morning I woke to a lot of rain that continued throughout the day, first stop was Sunbury for the 7am meet a few caches in the town and then up the road to Malmsbury for a pie and a coffee, next was onto Bendigo for lunch and a walk around the lake. After that it was on the road again to Colbinabbin for a cup of tea and to celebrate Roaming Howies 18,000 cache. The painted Silo's are amazing... next was a drive up to Echuca to check into the hotel. After a brief rest and a walk along the river we heading to the pub for dinner, followed by a few drinks in the Gin Distillery.In the morning I headed over to NSW to grab a few ad labs before the breakfast meet and then it was back on the road again to Cussen Park in Tatura for the CITO followed by lunch.After lunch it was onto the final stop in Seymour to celebrate the mazing cache crawl and my 3000th cache on my 6th Anniversary of Geocaching. A massive thanks to every who helped organise and support the event, everyone who hid the caches and gave me pointers when I was stuck. What an awesome community we have. 793Km covered and 116 Caches found... not a bad weekend.Thanks for the cache and the hideLog Book has been signed and Returned or answers sent to cache ownerFind #2926
Much needed coffee was consumed. Now Im ready for the day of cache crawling across Victoria! Thanks Watashi4 for organising The Great Victorian Cache Crawl - Sunbury we had a great time.
Thank you Watashi4 for organising this wonderful breakfast event. It was great to catch up with so many other cachers.
I am always amazed how many people are as crazy as me, but it was a big and loud turnout for this early start to the crawl. Thanks for putting on such an amazing event.
May have had a sleep in, panicked, and still made it here by 7:27am ????? Met up with LouJean70 and we headed off to get started. Its been a while since Ive been able to dedicate time to cacheing so it great to be back at it.Thank-you to all the organisers.
Another hello to everyone on the crawl. Thanks Watashi4 and clear skies from TeamAstro. ?? Cache the planet! ?? ??I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ??
Having travelled from Canberra by bus and arrived home yesterday morning, I borrowed my son's hoon car and drove out to Sunbury early this morning. It was great to see so many people here! Despite threats to tie me up and drag me along on the Cache Crawl, I headed off after this event to grab a nearby earthcache on my way home to perform my own cache maintenance.Thanks for the event, Watashi4! I hope that you all have a blast this weekend ??
What a great way to start the morning..nice catching up with people we met last night ??
An early start to get to the first cache crawl event. Lots of people and a bacon and egg McMuffin made for a very enjoyable event. A great start to the cache crawl. Thanks to all involved in organising.
An early start to the day today ..we found ourselves in a crowded Maccas .. at the first event of The Great Victorian Cache Crawl. Surprisingly the food came pretty quickly then we joined the group in the party room. Thank you Watashi4 for organising this event and to all the people who helped create this weekend experience.
An early start for this event, the first for the Great Victorian Cache Crawl. I always think the volume of the chatter is an indication of the success of an event and this certainly was loud and successful. Thank you Watashi4 for organizing it.
It was an early start to attend this event in Sunbury before heading out for a days caching
Well that was an early start!!!! Arrived 15 mins after the start time and missed the photo. But got our names in the log book and found a few caches in Sunbury before moving along the route.
Of course Mary & David were there. Great coffee as always. Had a chuckle at the FTF - her last find was in Romania. Now on to the next stage. Our thanks to Watashi4.
We had a fantastic time at last years event crawl so there was no way known that we were going to miss this one, even though only half the team made the first leg.We were quite surprised to see the amount of teams that turned up for this one and it was great to catch up with friends that we hadn't seen for quite awhile.Many stories and laughs were had and all too quickly it was time to leave and start heading towards the next one.Many thanks for your first event.
Up early to attend breakfast, my last part of the crawl unfortunately. Maybe next year I will get to do the whole journey Thanks for organising Watashi4Regardskbucky
Thanks Watashi4 for organising the event. It was great to catch up with some familiar faces and some new ones. After safely dropping CrackerMum at the event, I was very surprised to win the "FTF" draw!! It spurred me to get access back to my account.
I missed the 2023 Cache Crawl as I was away interstate but this year I made sure that I was in town to be able to do the this years cache crawl.A great idea to have it over 2 days so there will be plenty of time to catch up with friends and find some caches along the way.After the dinner event last night it was then home to get some sleep then an early start for as all.We had the party room to ourselves and we quickly filled the room.Plenty of catching up and chats with fellow cachers and some planning on which way to go and what caches to find along the way.Thanks Watashi4 TFTCCEC.
An early start, with Bemused Keith, and we arrived to find the room buzzing with chatter. It's always a good time when Geocachers gather.Thanks for organising this event, Watashi4
Slotting into a gap waaaay back there in the car park, maybe in a different postcode even. We started the walk towards gz, this confused looking local, shaking his head, says "I've never seen it so busy on a Saturday morning!".
Well this doesn't bode well for our day - we were late to the first event and almost missed getting our names in the logbook! Ooops.
The alarm went off at 5.45am to get ready for the 2024 Cache Crawl. Stop one: Sunbury Maccas party room. Nice choice Plenty of room for 50-odd geo groups to start the morning.Such fun meeting up with so many people at 7am in the morning.Looking forward to a big. Day of caching and catch-ups. TFTC 
A weekend away on The Great Victorian Cache Crawl 2024. Last year we completed half. This year we are aiming for the full crawl. The body is now fuelled up. Let the crawl begin!

07:07Well, this has already been an adventure.A train just after 5 (yes, they have one of those in the a.m.) got me to North Melbourne. So far, so good. This was where the real fun was to begin: replacement buses on the Sunbury Line.One eventually arrived. Stopping all stations, just for fun. Fortunately, we made good time and I beat the sunrise.A quick detour for an Adventure Lab, and I walked into a crowd at the event which had only just started, officially.Thanks, Watashi4. Congratulations on holding your first event. What a way to begin.Some hello's, including the elusive tackle_head, and a few goodbyes on the way out the door to catch the replacement coach to Gisborne.See you all in Malmsbury.#9104
While chook is away chunk will play. Out with wozzle and the tritons for cache crawl. Thanks to all the owners of caches that we will find, and may we make many more memory's
I think that I have been told that I am planning to be there!!! @ 2 Grub62 too.
ok, I might get a train out early in the morning from the other side of Melbourne to attend this. I'll be getting the bus down from Canberra for the weekend. I won't do the cache crawl, but I'd love to join you for the beginning!
Hello All,We are currently at ~50 attendees!!Maccas have been worded up to have extra staff on - because it's normally pretty quiet at 7am on a Saturday in Sunbury! We have the party room booked and we will surely spill into the main dining area and that's totally OK! I dropped by recently at 8am on Saturday and there was 2 people in the dining area... so it should not be crowded!... well.. apart from all of us!There will be a log book of course, otherwise minimal formalities.Let's get food, team up - and go hunting!CheersWatashi4 / Andrew Entrance runs along the North side of the establishment, parking out the back.
After last year's crawl I said yeh, only once! But this addiction strikes again, so I'll be there. Thanks to those who changed the format from last year, as the 12 midnight and early rise in the 2023 crawl was the hardest part for me. At least now the madness starts with a good sleep. Should be a great weekend. Thanks for the great amount of organising this takes.
I missed the fun last year so intend to join in this year and looking forward to all the events
Shut up and take my moneyoops wrong fast food chain!!Pretty sure Hera (Zeus, Hera & kids) and I (the only Rusty left caching) will be there
