Goodbye to the SSS [SSS] Ravenhall, Victoria, Australia
By GabGab on 31-Jan-17. Waypoint GA9371

Not sure what to make of this one at first.

Approaching GZ I thought this would be a quick find.

That looks very much like the likely spot I thought.

Then when i arrived at GZ there was a quite large estern grey kangaroo protecting the hide.

Well wrapped around it I thought.

Sadly looks like it was dropped from the freeway.

I'm not touching that one.

The aroma in the air was certainly not the most pleasant.

What to do.

The hint then gave me an option.

Well you would not believe but the cache presented itself!

I signed and quickly scurried away.

Many thanks GabGab for placing this cache.

I was a bit worried for a tick, but the cache had just hidden itself a bit more comprehensively in the intervening months.

The cooler weather this weekend made today perfect for a bike ride. With a stiff southerly blowing, I decided that I'd tackle the lower reaches of the Kororoit Creek with the wind at my tail, rather than the tougher option... then enjoy a non-stop jaunt alongside the Ring Road and Western Freeway to where I left off last week.

It was certainly quite different this time around: express rather than stopping all stations (caches), then, once I'd made it to the vicinity of the prison, a cool, and occasionally damp evening compared to the balmy weather of late.

By the time I reached the middle of Caroline Springs, there were nearly a dozen and a half more smileys, with only a few I couldn't locate, and finds on some caches that had been dormant for a year and a half. Oh, and both my phone and GPSr were running on fumes when I finally got on a train. All in all, a good evening expedition.

Many thanks, GabGab.

#GA1853 - 09:48; Day two of a caching mission to Victoria with Sol de lune. Our major goal for the week is to complete the SSS and other series along the Western Freeway/Ring Road and to then collect enough GCA caches around Docklands to bring our total finds for the day to 100+ which would build our trophy cabinets a bit more as we complete a few more 'missions'. This was one of 82 finds in just under 6 hours along the various series, where we only had the one DNF! Apologies for the mostly generic logs. TFTC GabGab

Off and running along the path and it was simply a matter of riding, stopping, finding the cache, signing the log, replacing the cache and then moving on to the next one. No problems here and we were soon on our way again.

Thanks for another one C@W....

Another quick find after a bit of walk up from the last cache here today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for hiding this geocache for us to find here today.

We had arrived in Melbourne early to catch the Spirit of Tasmania back to Tassie tonight. That gave us the opportunity to look for more caches along the Western Ring Path, ones that we didn't find in April because we ran out of time. We were pleased that the rain of yesterday had gone and, apart from a cold breeze, the walking conditions were very pleasant. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. As there were no entries in the logbook, we will claim FTF at 12:14. Apart from a layer of mud on the outside, the cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks GabGab for the cache and the series.

Come one, come all and find this cache. This cache has now been published and is ready to be found,
