Route 96 Llowalong, Victoria, Australia
By Elmer_Stratty on 09-Sep-09. Waypoint GC1YFKG

We wree heading back from successfully finding [GC1YFKD ...and another point](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1YFKD_and-another-point) and couldn't pass up grabbing this one too. M managed to squeeze our rather large 4WD into the recommended parking spot and we headed up, and up, and up until we reached GZ. While he waited and puzzled over the hint, I headed in following my flaky phone GPS. All too soon I understood the hint (and no, we 're no good at crosswords either). I stamped the log book, returned everything to it's place and returned to M on the path. We're definitely coming back here to walk this track. Preferably at the start of the day, not the end like we did today.Thanks for find #6414TNLN

Fun find off the trail, also enjoy these walks!

GPS played up on us but lovely area for a walk and good GPS just very off the given path so bush bashing is the idea.

Fishy scouts

Out for a drive to get a cache. Found with aqau on a lovely walk through the bush
Thanks Elmer Stratty

Easy find, although I didn't follow the track and bush bashed from another ridge.

Found 2 days ago, but just logging now. Tricky find, especially as my GPS was going crazy. Tftc

Found on a lovely walk through the bush, really enjoyed the track, hope to come back and camp one day! TFTC

A great cache with everything still dry and in great condition. Very interesting bower bird nest nearby, managed to find a lot of blue given there's not much litter nearby!

Called in on this one as we were going past this morning. A nice little walk to GZ and an easily found cache. All good here.

Thanks Elmer_Stratty for the placement here.

TFTC wishing I was slightly more athletic. Thought I was going to have a heart attack.

Easy find mind the hill!!

TFTC! Also found a bower bird bower very close by which was exciting! Glad to have to photo to help as had trouble finding it lol

Rain clouds are starting to roll in thankfully a quick find was made, also picked up a pathtag...TFTC

Lovely hill walk..on return trip home..left pink pen took nothing..tftc

Nice quick find in a great location after a great night at Wombat Valley cabins.

Great spot, tftc

Cache nice and dry, so i left a little something for the next person.

Awesome cache made you have to search. Not a bad walk either.

Visiting Briagolong from Mornington Peninsula picking off a few caches here and there. We hope we haven't spoiled a locals claim for unlove with this one just a few days sort of a year. TFTC

Tftc. A quick find after a decent walk from the pools. With no water, no top and only thongs on my feet (typical Aussie amarite?) I had to head back after this one. Cheers for an adventure.

Nice quick find, the hike up was pretty nice too. Not too bad. Tftc

We were walking in circles around it for a while, but we found it. P.s. The pen doesn't work

Tftk

With thanks for spoiler photo. On
a very humid day! But enjoyed the walk very much! Although the geo-dog found something to roll in, again! It just meant the dog wash in Warragul before going home! Tftc

Found it while being on the road wih my sister, tftc and grtz from Holland

Found with Mansgirl on a caching couple of days. Thanks.

Found with hint - not easy terrain again but fun cache tflc

Found it while staying overnight at Blue Pools.
TFTC and the bushwalk

Well, that was tough with my crappy phone-gps...Had to cheat with the photos!

Good grief, that was tricky! TFTC

Lovely bush walk to find this mossy hidden cache.

Woo hoo

Yay found! Have done this track before a few times great walk tftc

Found Saturday Afternoon with Mezza74 & D@geo.

A muggle car was in the way, when we first pass this spot.
We found it on the return from up river/creek.

Thank for the hide Elmer_Stratty

Found while out caching with gwd.aussie and mezza74.

My GPS was jumping around a bit but thanks to gwd.aussie we soon had cache.

TFTC

lovely old bridge along the way.... TFTC

Clever hide

Lots of trees down across the track which made the walk more fun.

Thanks for he adventure.

Interesting history, things I hadn't heard before. The track has been recently cleared so was easy to walk. TNLN TFTC

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Briagolong and surrounding areas using geocaching as our guide.

Made a quick find TFTC

A nice hike for us old farts... Well being 41 is old, isnt it? Found with acmoose and ornursie79. Great spot xxx

Found with ornursie72 and ornursie79

Found with ornursie72 and Acmoose on another adventure

Another stop while visiting caches along the Freestone Creek road. A short walk up and around, then off the track to approach GZ. Was a little bemused by the cache-placement but managed to find it without too much problem, deciphering the clue did help.

Found with Team Macca and new geo-friends MandE Broady. Made a few swaps and left extras to reduce Team Macca's trinkets box. Also a geocoin I've been hanging on to for way too long (sorry, Keepers of Time), so long that maybe they de-registered it? Tracking number not showing up in the trackables database Perhaps next visitors will have better luck logging it?

Raining in sale, beautiful here. GPS has us going in circles which the geohounds loved as it gave them more time to explore. Thanks for bringing us here. Tnln tftc

Very nice spot and cache. Good one to pick up on the walk back to the campsite

After a nice little walk it wasn't easily found. TFTC.

TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Took the short walk from the bridge (They are currently putting a new deck on it) between rain showers.
I made the quick find and signed the log.
I will return to the area in the warmer months to have proper look around

Took TB "Wicket Bug" LN

Day off. So I decided to catch up on adding to my cache finds. But flying solo as rest of clan is at school/work. Very warm day, so luckily I went alone.

I parked near bridge and walked from there. Nice short walk, so peaceful and quiet.

TNLN SL
Thanks Elmer Stratty for the cache.

Final cache for me to find for the year, nice point and dropped of the Star War TB...nice point and thanks for making me come here. Now off to ride down to the Blue Pool for a swim.

Excellent hide thanks for the cache!

Another of the Stratty walking track caches. These take you into beautiful bush. Good quick find. Took nothing, left small toy squinkie.

Thougt this one might of been harder than it was given the suroundings but walked straight onto it. TFTC.

Tried to do this one months back but a sudden torrential downpour put a stop to that. After a bit of a walk found gz with a little help from jimmymaff. TNLN TFTC

Missed the rain, geo-dog and I walked from the Frome picnic area - lovely walk. Great hide. TFTC

I found Route 96 on my return journey to McKinnon Point from the Blue Pool
Crikey !! One last hill to struggle over [xx(]
It wasn't too much of a hill as it turned out and I was soon on the trail of the cache
This trail is a much better option than walking along the road [^]
TFTC.

Very pretty spot along here. The family decided it was a race up this rise, so took off at a great rate of knots from the car. Quite funny to watch, and sure enough GZ was soon found. Even found a nice soft seat to sit on briefly. Took TB. Thanks Elmer Stratty for directing us along this way.

Cache check and TB swap

Found @ 6.03 pm TFTC

Not the best of days to tackle this cache, it was very hot and quite a few muggles about at Blue Pools. But.... we did it. Parked the mobile home as close as we dare and walked (climbed) the short distance to cache. Climb or descend was our quandry when nearing GZ, we picked correctly. Many thanks for the cache we enjoyed the challenge. Took Michelin Man and left Autumn Leaves Geocoin to enjoy an East Gippland early Autumn

Number 3 on my little hike today. Weather was better than I expected. I have walked
just about all of Track 96 over the last couple of years. Even been up where the
General is now hiding. It's a track that should be used more often. Maybe a few
more caches along it will bring visitors to it. Anyhow the gps didn't want to make
this an easy find this afternoon. Had to stand and think Hmmm "Where's a sneaky
spot". Sure enough there it was in its hidey hole. Great cammo Elmer. T-$200
L- Keychain Thanks for this cache.

1230h. Some local gold fossickers had parked in the suggested parking spot but luckily there's an old quarry nearby with heaps of room. Walking back along the road I was questioned by some muggles that were using their car GPS. They were wondering if the road went to Canberra. I quickly put told them to turn around unless they wanted to spend along day getting lost. Just goes to show you still need a map or a general idea of the area, just don't follow the GPS blindly. Did this one along with a 'another point'. Don't know if the 'with envy' hint will last the summer. I rearranged the cover to make it look more natural. With some attention to detail its an easy spot.

was nice to get a brand new cache - especially when visiting from Adelaide. Got three when only thought we were goping to get one.

Found at 1054hrs,
Nice out of the way location, great day for a walk to some out of the way spots.
