Another top quality cache on the area. Nice lot of bugs in there but will leave them for others to pass on tftc
Dropped in on the way to Clunes to drop off a TB and pick up a couple of newbies for the trip.
Found this little beauty on the cache Crawl. Left Cricket the Gecko to check into the TB Hotel. Safe travels Cricket!
Nice hide! Called past and collected a travel bug and coin. Thanks - Jawapro from Tassie
Dropped in here to pick up any travellers who might like to hitch a ride to Tassie this weekend. There was only one so my travelling companion took it. I like the hotel construction. Left a 1955 halfpenny for a future visitor. TFTC.
Fantastic construction. Although my GPS was a little off so needed to use the hint. Favourite point from me!
I wanted to stop in at this one on our way to Bendigo so I could hopefully drop off and maybe take a TB but unfortunately once we found it there was nothing in it whatsoever besides a very damp log so I just added a few swaps instead so at least there's something there for the next finders. TFTC!
Tasmania Trip Day 13. Travel Day, Geelong to Canberra. After a great night one the boat and even a good nights sleep, I was ashore way too early and beginning to drive home to Canberra. After refueling I started out. I did not go directly and took quite a detour via the final three western(ish) counties in Victoria I have not cached in before. This leaves Melbourne and several east of Melbourne around to almost Orbost to do one day. Seeing the heavy traffic streaming towards Melbourne in the other direction was odd in the foggy pre-dawn darkness. Eventually it got light and I reached some caches to do. All in all it went smoothly with some interesting places visited and I even made it home eventually, just before dark. All in all a great multi leg journey over almost a month. Now onto some Canberra activities.Most of the caches I did today were quick roadside caches, even if some of the roads were back trails.Thanks for the cache Team Ladava46172.11 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Geocaching NSW 2023 A#532**Albida**
Great concept. Thank you Team Ladava for placing and maintaining CALDER HIGHWAY TB MOTEL for us to find today.
Our last cache for today which has included singles, multis, earth, mystery and started with an AdLab now finishing it off with this clever little TB Motel. Signed the log and replaced cache to its hiding spot.TFTC
Bit wet but today but I decided to grab a few caches whilst I was in the area. A quick find after parking the car. Coordinates spot on. Looks like a recent fire has caused a bit of damage to the post but the cache is fine. TFTC
This was a quick stop off the freeway in order to grab a hide on my way to camp for the weekend in Newbridge.A clever hide here which Im giving a favourite point. There didnt seem to be any travel bugs at home (but perhaps I didnt look properly as I was keen to get to camp).Thanks Team Ladava for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy. It was a great day out!----------------------------------------------------------Have you found all of the 12 Days of Cachemas series?

A very nifty hide. Very quiet at the Hotel today....all the guests have checked out. TFTC
What a well constructed and hidden cache. Personally I don't think that I would have been so kind and considerate with the hint but that's me. This cache is well deserving of a favorite point so I will have to concede another of my treasured points. Very well done, TFTC.
It appears in our drive today and a search for caches with high numbers of Favourite Points - Team Ladava you feature quite prominently. This was our second of your caches we found today. Another well hidden cache. Thank you again for another well designed cache - Team Ladava
I found a lot of Team Ladava caches when I first started this game as they were prolific hiders around where I was living at the time and they were always enjoyable and creative hides. For some reason I never stopped past this one so decided to rectify this as I was heading through the area. My first Team Ladava find for a few years but quality as always.
Great construction and a safe place for some TBs. None were there today, so we signed the log and continued home. Thanks for the cache Team Ladava.
Quick find on the way home from a orienteering event neas Malmesbury
Love the hide!
Thanks for putting the cache here!

Spent the morning at Marong PS for grandparents day. On my way back to Melbourne I stopped to make a quick find with this cache. I can see why it has so many favourite points. But not so favourite for me after my white jacket got blackened. Congratulations on a well structured cache and TFTC
Just a quick stop off the highway to see this one as it Has so many favourite points!
Well deserved!

I was heading over Trentham way for lunch with my sister... and left home early to give myself some time around Macedon to find a cache or two... or three as it actually turned out to be. This was my first stop... an easy find... mainly because I recoginsed the style of hide from finding the CO's similar cache on the Hume about 10 years ago! I took the opportunity to swap a Trackable in and one out... after all, that's what a TB Motel is for.
Thanks **Team Ladava** for the cache.

Remarkable, cache and hide survived recent controlled burn. Favourite from us.
On our way to see family in benlock we stopped to grab this cache, like the others was glad to see it survived the fire with just a little scar, thanks for placing this cache
In the area today for a very sad occasion. Decided to take some time to myself on the way home.
A was rather concerned by the scorched earth & surrounds but the motel was safe & sound with only superficial scorch marks.
I'm very unlikely to get out again in the next week (pesky work gets in the way!!) so I left the TB to rest a wee while longer. Many thanks. It's a great concept

Nice easy find, clever hide and good to see it survived the fire.
Wetjala left a TB to be passed on.

When we arrived here and zeroed in on the where the GPS was taking us we thought it may have been destroyed as the area had recently undergone a burn-off with *everything* at ground level completely burnt including the object mentioned in the hint. Fortunately the cache was unscathed so we were able to log our find and drop off a "Rocket" TB (originally from Spain!) that we have been carrying around for a while. Hopefully someone will pick it up soon so it can continue its earthly travels.

Very cool cache. On my way home from a read-through at the local theatre for a show in August, thought I would sneak past and continue my daily streak.

Great host. Stopped for a quick sign on my way out of Macedon. Thanks for maintaining!
What a great hiding spot. Picked up my first TB in ages. As I’m off to Sydney in a few weeks thought it might be a good time to get one moving. TFTC
Grabbed this cache on our way home from doing creatures of the night night cache. And dropped a TB off.
Took nothing

Went around in circles for a bit. No trades today, but at least I know where it is. TFTC
A tempting stopover on the way up to Bendigo. We remember the first cache we did by this CO a decade ago near the airport. The little bunny was onto the camo and we took the TB for further travels. TFTC and trip down memory lane.
Nice cache in a nice spot, good fun to find this clever hide and log a couple of trackables. Thanks for the cool cache.
It has been a while since i hit the road and found some caches so i was wrapped to have found myself with time today and quite a number of days free over the next three weeks. I spent the afternoon caching in the Macedon and Trentham areas today and ended up with 25 finds, 2 DNFs, 1 did not attempt and a lot of fun. The geopooch has missed exploring and walking and most particularly swimming, she managed to get plenty of all three. I tested my legs by wearing shorts and unsurprisingly, found that blackberry, thistle and scrub were far more uncomfortable than usual. I also found some pretty sketchy four wheel drive tracks including steep hills, puddles, deep ruts and washouts. One of the hills was too much for my poor old banger and i had to do a thirty point turn on a steep section to return and find another way, i thought only fairly minor damage was inflicted. Unfortunately the geomobile was making some horrible noises on the way home so i think i will have to check it out tomorrow and see what i can do to keep her on the road for a little longer.

Very much a favourite for me, well done, great hide. Also dropped off to travel bugs.
Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of a well constructed and presented cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache.
TFTC. Heading down to Melbourne to pickup Motorhome from repairers. Time for a cache on the way down. Quick easy find. All good with the hide. Nothing wet.
Stopped for the LGA
Pleasant surprise, have a fav point
Find number 28192 for me.
Thank you Team Ladava for hiding this geocache.

GPS playing up which made it a little difficult to track but found it in the end
