Acheron River #1 Warburton East, Victoria, Australia
By hi pressure on 07-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1KHXQ

Pottering down the Acheron Way, heading home after a visit to the lovely market at Taggerty and dropped here for a stretch. Realised I'd tried this one before but a family were parked right on gz so had to give it a miss but not a soul in sight thos time so an easy grab

Thanks for the Cache Hi Pressure and Cache Guardians,Took the Van out on a shakedown to test the new Fridge (after 6 months without a functioning fridge it was wonderful).We camped at Ned's Gully in the Cathedrals and though busy, it was a top weekend. I was unsuccessful in finding any of the Caches around Ned's and promised myself that I would get one on my way home.At the Acheron River I looked for this cache without much hope, been there a number of times without mobile reception or success.This time the Cache page came up and the hint was invaluable, I had always been searching the Arcorail.Yahoo! The container had some water in it but miraculously the Log was pretty dry. And this one is up for adoption too, might just Nab it.Regards from Victourer

A dnf only because of a jumpy gps reading and no description and hint.

Great hide. Kids found it. There was water in the container but log book dry in plastic bag. ️

Cache was extremely well hidden but is in excellent shape and now not quite so hard to find.. (MD)

Found it with family friends. Also a great opportunity for a photo!

Had old information for this one so I was apparently looking in the wrong place. Should have updated Gsak in this area and I'd have had a better chance.

Having fun with great friends and enjoying the whether
Thankyou co

*26 May 2019, Found @9:41 am, Find # 3439.*

Out with a group today when this one got replaced. I was happy to add my name to a fresh new book.

**Thanks to hi pressure for placing this cache.**

New container and log book are now in place. (MD)

All is well now. (MD)

Cache will be maintained shortly after Easter. (MD)

Cache container is broken and the contents are damp/wet.

Um . . . to be honest I can't remember this one. Yeah I (we) found it but can I actually remember it? Nup! Oh well, just log it and move on. (Probably a Sistema beside the road in some nondescript location.) I do remember that the box was broken so I s'pose I'll submit a maintenance log.

TFTC

Wetjala has posted a maintenance that it was very wet. Nice easy find.

Out for a day of caching and sightseeing with Wetjala and Mrs Biggles in an area away from the bushfires. After travelling along the Donna Buang Road we turned onto the Acheron Way and this was the ninth of many caches for the day. Wetjala again made a pretty quick easy find. This log was also very very wet but we were still able to sign our names. TFTC.

On my way back from holiday in NL with Lekker_Ding we camped and cached our way around Warburton and Marysville and had some great experiences and found some great caches. Thanks for hiding this one

S_38 pulled it out quickly! Cache is cracked and log wet, but able to sign. Nice spot!

Leeches

This must be one of the state's least popular drive-bys on a major thoroughfare, no? Almost 6 months between finds. Admittedly I've been here before myself but I didn't look for it on that occasion, so I'm Part Of The Problem. It's quite an attractive place, as drive-by locations go. I believe buhfuhguh laid eyes on it first, with guidance from the hint. Thanks hi pressure and Cache Guardians!

So now that we are here we must begin our journey up to the top to get a new d/t for me and a series of caches that have both interested Bendsinister and I. So with the car parked just across the road we donned our packs and our hats and all the such for the adventure ahead. But first this cache, with my partner in crime for the day still getting ready I headed over to make the find and shortly enough it was made. Thanks for the cache and the amazing location.

Done

This one got the better on us today. But certainly a lovely spot.

A quick Park and grab before the real work begins. Still ot's of traffic passing by on this glorious day.

TNLN SL TFTC

Lovely to see the river flowing with plenty of water at this time of year. Green and lush everywhere.
Thanks to the Cache Guardians for maintaining this one.

Out and about on a country caching trip, stopping for a few in the Yarra Valley as we drive through on a beautiful day.

We found this one to be a bit wet, logged our presence here and continued on to the next cache.

Thanks Cache Guardians for this placement.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area with mcsee&petal today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Cache Guardians [^]

Yeah! Found number 1. All done for the day. Thanks beautiful area.
Log book bit damp.

It was about 4 years ago that I walked right past this one, on my way up to Mt Ritchie to grab my very first FTFs. Back then I didn't have an "app" and I had no idea what a GPX file was. I had the cache pages of the 4 new ones printed out on paper and manually entered the co-ordinates into my GPSr.

Its funny how much you learn and pick up on the way. Parked nearby though I instantly recognized where I was. Its also strange how the human brain stores this kind of information and can retrieve it in a nano second when stimulated to by seeing the same thing, 4 years later.

Anyway, its certainly a awesome and memorable location.

We were going to replace the log, but on opening the cache, the log was certainly damp, but far from what I would call wet. Definitely still signable. I am not sure of what some people want from a log book, but if it's bone dry log books, out here, that's just not going to happen.

Good to go.

Cache has been emptied, dried out and back in place. Have left original log book as it is still fine.

AH & DG

Log is very wet and will be replaced as soon as possible.

Nice road to drive along and have a bit of a look around.
TFTC

Another quick find here, and another car on this deserted section of road. Thanks for bringing us along here... we loved the drive.

Out caching with friend craft26 and geofamilies.

Acheron way was surprisingly busy today, but this one was a quick find.

Had a good time out caching with Naccas and families. Road was quite busy for a gravel road. Cache was quite wet.

Haven't been along the Acheron Way for a lot of years and that's a petty as it is a nice drive. Thanks Hi pressure.

Easy find thanks Hi pressure. 22/03/2015 10:39 am Find #182

This was a welcome rest stop on our ride from Narbethong to Warburton. Found with doamono. TFTC!

Second find on our ride from Narbethong to Warbuton. Once getting off the bikes and venturing slightly off the road this was a quick find. Found with uvtorch. TFTC

This is an ideal park and grab although the GPS said one thing and the hint another. Finally got my p's & q's minded and found the little b**ger right where I was looking to begin with. Do I get the bike out and head up the track or go after an unloved multi? The multi won out but I will come back to this spot.

I found this one today while chasing ° down the road. I figured grab a few caches let him get a bit further in front will mean less dust. I have been lucky and seen the nearby road closure open but not today As i am chasing ° I decided id better only do the park and grabs. TFTH it's a great stretch of road.

Lots of water in river a nice quite place had lunch here .

Had lunch here while exploring thanks

Found @ 8:40am, find # 3192.

This was another great days caching out in the bush with Biggles1024, with a mix of transportation to get us to the various locations and GZ's. ( car, bike, foot ).
This is where we parked for the great bike leg, from Acheron River #1 to Mt Ritchie (Poley) Fire Tower.
With 3hours 43mins from finding the first one until the last one and last than 30 mins for the return run getting to a maximum speed of 54.7 km/h on the bike.
The co-ords seemed to be a bit out on this one as they had us looking on the other side of the road at the start, but thanks to the hint we were soon at the right spot and Mark picked up the cache.
Thanks to hi pressure for placing this cache.

Find #1137

Another trip to Warburton and beyond with my caching partner, Stemicmitsar. Our transportation varied from car to bikes to good old Shank's Pony. The day dawned with the promise of fine weather and it was fine for all but the briefest of periods.
This was the beginning of our assault on the caches that were the main focus of today's trip. Having lifted our bikes over the locked gates and squeezed our bodies though the gates, this cache was found, log signed and then we began our ascent.

Out on a rebellious day off work, a road trip and cache hunt was in order to clear the mind... or to confuse it.. even the GPSr was unsettled. A quick re-read of the hint and Zen was achieved. Thank you for bringing me here.. far from work... but not far enough TFTC!!

I spent quite a wile searching in slightly the wrong place on this one but turned it up in the end. I've never been under the road before but now I have.

Thanks hi pressure.

It was the kids first day back at school and since I was still on holidays I decided to go and try and find a few unloved caches (only needed 4 more to finish the unloved challenge cache) in some mountainous (kids don't like and can't be bothered) type terrain.
I took a 1 hr 20 min drive out here and parked the car and took the mostly uphill walk (which was good because it was always going to be easy coming back to the car) to the caches along this lovely road number 15.
It was also a rare cooler day in this current heatwave. It was only 9 degrees when I arrived in my shorts! The steep walks uphill soon warmed me up though.
This cache was 20m from where I parked so made a nice easy find while preparing for the walk and having something to eat.
Thanks for the cache, the exercise, the hunting and the fun.

Found with misschief18 after wandering about in the rain trying to decipher the readings on our GPSr - we kept getting two different readings.
A good place to secrete the cache

Lovely area to be in, but it was a wet day for us. GPS had me going around in circles and I made it much harder and took much longer than it should have been. Found with taurus1955. TFTC

out with nanna.c for mothers day, my gps was a bit off here but super pops soon made the find, tftc

I agree it is the most beautiful area, enjoyed a trip down Acheron way for Mothers day with Nufrat. tftc

Found @1002 #2697
Today's weather looked ideal for another run this time thru another area of the Warburton region. The target today was Mt Ritchie and a particular cache with a rare D/T combo for project 81. Started early (7am) being pick up by Ahomburg and after grabbing a much needed coffee and supplies in town we were ready to start the run. Today's run resulted in 22 finds and 2 years worth of unlovness. another epic run and big km's clocked on foot.

We had now arrived at Track 15 and before heading off up the track, found this one has it was not too far away. A nice hide and first of the series found so far. TFTC hi pressure

Good coordinates. No trouble finding this. TFTC

Chasing FTFs along here, but I had to collect this one too as we were right here - and the other two already have it!!!!

Nice quick find on a Sunday drive
Left dragonfly and leaf, butterfly and saw

Used the hint again, luckily as we were searching on the wrong side! Rain just getting worse!

Nice little series. Now to tackle the snow and fallen trees! TFTC

Found it on a bit of a caching run through the area to pick up a few caches and attempt to chase down (unsuccessfully...) an unloved cache. The river was really flowing through here but GZ was easily accessible.

Thank to a nice hint this was a quick find. TFTC

Day on the road caching with MTPMacca 15 for the day and covered 101 km
2nd last for the day, wet feet cold getting late

last one going home now

TFTC. A great series to find. TFTC

Easy find. Great series of caches. TFTC

Found this one on way to camping near Acheron River tonight - TFTC

#916 Last of 10 in an arvo's drive up to Narbethong and back along the Acheron Way on a beautiful Spring day. Having found our picnic spot and had a restful time there watching the fish jumping out of the water and enjoying the solitude, we moved on to here - still haven't seen any cars at all along this road today (in fact, for the 3 hours we spent on this road not 1 car was sighted). Somehow we managed to pick up some unwelcome hitchhikers - leeches!! Mrs laurenda was not amused at that! Thanks hi_pressure for making a pleasant drive even more enjoyable by picking up your caches. Took coin.

3:05 PM 15/10/11

Today I set myself 2 missions:

- Find 12 Caches to get to the Magical 1000 finds on geocaching.com
- Place the last 5 caches in my new series (Out next week)

Mission Acoumplished

After finding the "Nearby" The Aqueduct Trail 4, I arrived at the turnoff to Mount Donna Buang and notest this one, unfortunately I did not realise it was quite a way away by road as averse to the way the crow flies, anyway, I parked nearby and was able to find the cache quite quickly. There were 2 Trackables in here, 1 coin and 1 Travel Bug. I took the travel bug with me. and replaced the cache.

Thanks to hi pressure for the cache.

Well it was already late morning, when the call came from Slink1 and we were off on another caching run from Marysville to Warbuton. We had a lot of fun on another road trip caching as we went. Quick find TFTC SL

On a nice sunny Saturday and although it was late morning, called Dunko and organised a caching run from Marysville to Warbuton
had a good time on the road trip doing this run quick find TFTC SL

Gotta do a DNF, after searching for a long time we came up with nothing.
Maybe next time we are in the area.

Out with Lostmonster&Co in and around the area and beyond o joy here today for the last cache i the series of 3.Next time.

Had a good look for this cache on my return from Mt Ritchie as this was my start/finish point, but I only had the co-ords and no clue with me. Now after reading the clue back at home my GPSr had me no where near the cache
Cheers all the same

Headed out tonight for another night caching run with my good mate and caching buddy Marshy (Blacklegend). Tonight we were in for a treat with some night caching into the hills around Marysville and Warburton. Thoroughly enjoyed the drive along the Acheron Rd, it was a long and challenging drive as it was quite rough and slippery at times. A great series of caches along a fantastic road, would recommend it to everyone. Nearly collected an owl as it swooped on a bug right in front of the car. Third of three of the series found. Thanks for the hide and bringing us to some great spots.

One of 26 on another legendary night caching run north east of Melbourne into the hills, with my best mate and caching buddy Marty (Quasar3671). Third in a series along the Acheron River. Thanks for this little series, very nice and quiet at night. TFTC.

Nice quick find on the way home from Alexandra truck and car show tftc took money left fairy

I was in the area so I did a quick maintenance on this one.
It's all good.

On a sleep drive for my daughter, never been along here and I live in Warby! Tftc tnln.

Had a quick look for this one but with heavy recent rains and bulldozers didn't know whether it's still there

Nice quick easy drive by...

GPS was no help at all, so luckily remembered some info on the this web page, from when I downloaded it and managed to find, then stood in ankle deep mud.

This was a nice weekend away with Mrs Iamapom to join a day trip from Narbethong to Rubicon with the Landrover Club and Pajero Club of Victoria. We were heading from Warburton to Narbethong along the lovely (although a bit foggy and spooky today) Acheron way. 1 of 3 - of the series completed today.
Nice area - but we were looking at the wrong side at first ! Used my walking pole to poke around.
TFTC

We went on a birthday caching trip today for JMelb and this one was fifth on the list and the 3rd river cache for us doing it the opposite way.
We had to decode the clue for this one as the GPS had us a bit all over the place and as with previous finders when the cache was found it was over 10m from GZ
However this did not take away from the most lovely drive we have done for a long time
As we said on our log for "Please take a photo" cache in Marysville - Such devastation - Such beauty in the re-growth!
Thanks Hi Pressure for bringing us along this lovely road!!

Co ords seemed a bit out, but found it by scrounging around. TFTC, TNLN.

thanks for the cache gps sent us to the middle of the road
walked into the tunnel very creepy in there and slippery
cheers juzzmagic

It's been a long time since I drove along this delightfully scenic bit of road
The size of the trees and all that verticallity is mesmerising as you move through it
This time around I had a reason to stop and enjoy the sounds of the forest in a place that few do stop
I found the cache safe and sound.

Found 14:40, a great location.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks hi pressure.

I've been trying to clear out the caches around Warburton (been trying for more than three years!) and it was this area's turn. The gps was a bit iffy so I resorted to the hint. I counted more than the hint said but in the end logic won out and the cache was found.

Thanks to Hi Pressure for the find.

I haven't travelled along here for many years so it was refreshingly interesting. It's so nice to go geocaching in a new area.
My GPSr was again being uncooperative so had to use the clue (and my brain ). The area has had quite a bit of rain so I didn't appreciate standing in soft red wet soil up to my ankles in my sandals. Had to drive home with squishy mud between my toes ).

Left: smiley top
Took: frog

Thanks hi pressure for bringing me to such a beautif spot.

My GPSr had no idea where the cache was, and after wandering back and forth a few times trying to get a good fix, I resorted to the clue. It wasn't obvious where the .... were as they are a bit overgrown, but eventually I found them and the cache. My thanks to hi pressure for the cache and the enjoyable drive along this road.

Checked the cache, all is ok

Find 3 of the day.... the fact that we parked right near the 'watch for falling trees' warning sign had the Mrs a bit nervy, but it was a safe, easy find

TFTC.
