Decided to revisit the area. Muggle decided to take a turn toooo soon.....would not have got far as there was no entry to this spot. Did spot an echidna just wondering up the embarkment minding its business unaware that we were there. Finally a DNF is now a smiley. TFTC

Good find, great views TFTC

We found it!!!! The hint wasn't very helpful but we eventually found it when dad accidentally kicked it. The entire area was covered in rubbish which made the finding a lot more tricky mistaking it for trash. It was more closer to a micro than small altogether great spot and fun find. We filled it with a couple trinkets.

Just returned from my holiday and catching up on the logs from my fantastic trip. A quick find as we pulled of the road. Had the unfortunate experience of watching a beached humpback across the road who didn't look like he was going to survive the night. Signed log. Thanks

Spoke to the lovely CO and replaced this cache for her. A great location!

Talk about déjà vu ..... this is the second weekend in a row that I have been on a girls caching road trip with Locus Cache to Victoria. This time however it was a fabulous 4 day jaunt AND we may have even brought back a lovely Victorian fella with us (micaparamedic).....ALWAYS an enjoyable time when we hang out! SurprisedWinkCool

Kaye and I travelled from Adelaide to the beautiful Warrnambool area to attend a Friday night picnic in the park event and then on Saturday we enjoyed a yummy BBQ lunch at the 1 month to the Surf Coast Mega Event. Bendigo was our next overnight stop and then we headed home....which only took us 15 HOURS!! haha It wasn't the Little Desert National Park we got lost in this weekend, it was Murray Sunset National Park...LOL - but we did get a joint first to find which made the detour all worth it....who needs to get 8hours sleep before needing to be at work the next day anyway?? Wink

We targeted a number of caches over the weekend, including some oldies of Alex...very cool finding original ammo cans in the bush and some to help out the D/T grid!

Once again the conversations were highly amusing and we enjoyed lots of belly laughter!! haha [:o)] Big Grin

We saw kangaroos, emus, lots of birds and a whole heap of water due to recent heavy rains.

GEOCACHING ROCKS!!! [:X]

Thanks for the cache mogni! Smile

Day 1 of the girls' road trip to Warrnambool, which then extended out to Bendigo on day 3. On day 4 we picked up another passenger for Harry as the new passenger needed a lift to Adelaide. Cool
Today we drove from Adelaide to Warrnambool, arriving in time to attend the Sunset Picnic Event - Tower Hill [^]
The day was mainly spent driving as it takes a tad longer when the Hary Factor comes into play Wink
Some older caches were targeted and some great views were seen as a result! Cool[^]
No DNFs [^], 1 event attended in an amzingly gorgeous location Cool and 19 caches found today Smile

We arrived, we wandered to GZ and we looked and looked. No cache was found Sad
The CO was contacted and the cache was replaced very close to the hint!
It's great to find an older Mogni cache Cool

Travelling on holiday with Purrfect Di, son Alex, geoson Sebastbat and Jack the monkey.
Sadly this was not to be.
Kids loved the tower though.
A bit of rubbish around GZ, but someone has been around it with a mower/slasher and
there's a good chance GZ was mown down [:(!]
Thanks for the challenge mogni
will place on the watch list and return asap!
