Rated: for Overall Experience

Grabbed at the Rutherglen Geocaching Australia event and now down and ready to be found again.

I discovered this moveable cache in Rutherglen on the 7/4/23. Another Geocacher has taken it from GZ and will move it along shortly.

The Rutherglen Mega – Easter 2023
This was another a-MAZE-ing Mega, hosted by Geocaching Victoria. Thanks so much, for bringing me here and for the enjoyment it has brought me over the weekend.
Day #1 [6/4] – After a massive day of work, I headed off to my overnight stop in Culcairn. Along the way, I stopped off at an AL waypoint, in Henty. My only find of the day. Now time for some sleep and get ready for arriving at the Mega tomorrow.
Day #2 [7/4] – Its Mega day! I started off the day by finding a cache across the road of my motel in Culcairn, before getting breakfast. After breakfast I headed out of town and I arrived at the Rutherglen showgrounds at 9am. I was pleased to check in and sign the attendance book. I caught up with many people and I also found the lab caches. During the gaps of the Mega fun and during the non-raining times, I headed out to find as many caches as I could. I found the letterbox caches, attended the 3 events [2 GC and 1 GA] and found a couple of caches around the area. While at the GA event many moveable caches were discovered and signed. After the dinner event at the end of the day, I went did some bush bashing in the dark of the night to find a 2006 cache. I made sure I found it, as it fulfils part of a self-imposed challenge. Now, time to head to the motel and head to bed, so I’m ready for my last day tomorrow.
Day #3 [8/4] – My final day. Anyway, I still have much planned which included finding the bike trail caches, finishing the Solar System series and finding a couple of multi-caches. Also, on the way home, I decided on avenging a DNF. But before that, I started the day with breakfast at Macca’s. Next I found a couple more labs, some of which I missed yesterday. After a phone call, my bike riding buddy (Joelisa) was running late. This meant I could find the rest of the Solar System Series and a couple of others. I arrived at the starting point of the bike trail and was greeted by Ms Maddy who was getting ready for the bike ride. While we were getting ready If and Joelisa arrived and we decided on heading off and doing it together. The caches along the bike trail were signed as **8/4/23 JIMM**. The group consisted of Joelisa [J], If [I], Ms Maddy [M] and Myself - JohnoMawbs [M for Mawbs]. We did most of the trail along the way to Wahgunyah, found a couple of other caches, had lunch and for the return trip, found the five we missed for the return trip to Rutherglen. Then we went our separate ways. I headed off to meet up with The Drovers before leaving. I found two caches along the way home. The second of the two, I avenged a DNF. Now time to get home as I have a very busy day tomorrow.
I will need to return at some point, so I can complete the ‘bird’ mystery cache power trail at some point. Also all the new multi-caches which have just been published. So, these caches have been put on my, to do list. In other words, I’LL BE BACK.
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found this weekend and for allowing them to bring me and the Geocaching community enjoyment. TFTE’s and TFTC’s

Grabbed from the GCA event at Rutherglen and will move on shortly soon.

Thanks for this one Whitewebbs....

Moved along while working on a farm just down the road TFTM

Picked up on my way to Smithton for work. Will move on soon tftm

After a trip to Dip Falls and the Gateforth Farm peonie paddocks Harold decided to fly off on another adventure. It was interested in the activity at the end of Grange's jetty at Port Latta and was last seen peeking out from behind a wooden post.
There is plenty of room to park off the highway.

On her way to embroidery this morning Mrs Y'stassie became aware of something rolling around in the empty boot of the car. Before heading home she opened the boot and found this little moveable alone. It must have dropped in with the monster trucks and, being small, gone unnoticed. It certainly made itself noticeable this morning. Will move it along soon.

Harold has flown off with another team after a leisurely lunchtime catchup

Out and about during an hour away from family duties, decided to grab the opportunity to do just a little bit of caching while we can. Always good when there's a collection of caches near each other to make it easier. We'll move these ones towards the north west coast and get them back out again as soon as possible. Thanks for the cache

Back out eyeing off the real deal nearby.

While the men were having a "tool" discussion at a "pole" cache Mrs W scored a few moveables. Will move on soon. TFTM
