Sorry, must archive.

Cache #144

Had some time to kill after work so decided to find some caches with my muggle friend. TFTC

Tftc

Good one

Found this cache in a great hide but almost had to get the spade and dig it out. Hope to get some rain soon and hopefully the bush will green up. Thanks to the old blokes.

Found

This is an intriguing area. Yes, it is likely there are snakes around, but the ground is open enough to see where you step. Spotted a rabbit and some birds.

Found @8:35 while riding around the lake today tftc

It's evening after a warm spring day. Birds are settling in for the night. A beaut spot & TFTC

A nice easy find,
Enjoying the evening bird noises!
The tree is full of some sort of lorikeets.
TFTC

Found it,Thx to the person who left it and lets say it is small and well hidden but fun to look for.

Fortunately I didn't have to try and get to this one in a wheelchair, at least the way I came. Cache quickly located when in place; nice bush area, quite a contrast to the lakeside grass areas.

Because it has rained and the ground is damp, I hesitated at this one. Yesterday I stepped in chewing gum like clay and some is still in the tread of my shoes. This though turned out to be fine, and any dirt my shoes gathered scraped off easily; not like that 'chewing gum' clay of yesterday, which didn't. TFTC and all the caches you have put here, the old blokes.
Moving on now .

Found number 3!

Found by the weekend campers 11/6/18 @ 11:49am

Alex Mundt’s first find!

Found by weekend campers

It’s the best thing ever

Fun

Great spot for a quick retrieval.

Quick find, but not quite the drive by pick up, but with all the dried flora
made it an easy walk.
Thanks old blokes

A bit further off the road than we thought but we got there.
TFTC the old blokes

It evaded me the first time around a couple of years ago. Happy to report we found it today. thanks old blokes- love all your hides.

????

A bit of a walk thru the scrub but found it

I found this one a bit of a challenge

A bit of a journey

A fair walk off the path but easy enough once you get there. TFTC.

Took the scenic route in, and was early enough to be the first to break through the spiderwebs! Luckily I received no ant bites, and took the short cut back to the road. TFTC

Could not get through the scrubs. No paths leading to place.

??

Took a while longer than should g sve

Didn't look carefully enough in the first place. Found on second try in that place. TFTC

Found with Highrod while around Wedderburn for the weekend. It helps to be caching with someone fit and agile. TFTC

We found your cache BL#4 A Frolic round the Lake, had us scratching our heads trying to work out how a wheelchair could get in there!? Send Azz in and he had the cache in hand quickly.
Thanks the old blokes for the cache!

Found while in Boort for some of today. Quick find as I made my way around the lake. Thanks for the cache.

We are camped in Boort overnight on our way to Alice Springs for the Event over Easter, so decided to grab the caches. This was a little more challenging as we were driving due to the heat, but we are determined and soon had CIH. After logging duties were completed the cache was returned to where it should be. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find the old blokes - that's from one set to another!

Found with ease but my big hand found it hard to retrieve but fellow cacher Wallaby Tales had it out of its spot. TFTC

While staying at the very nice Quambatook Caravan Park we decided to have a day caching around Quamby and Boort.

We were joined last night by a great group of bikers from the Military Brotherhood who invited us to join them for a BBQ catered by the local Lions Club and then drinks and entertainment at the Quamby Pub.
We all had a great night

A nice, easy find on a beautiful sunny day.

Thanks for the hide the old blokes[^][^][^]

A late afternoon find in the rain with the geo-son during a circumnavigation of the lake on foot. I'd say a very brisk dash rather than a frolic, as there was a cold beer waiting for me back at the Royal. Many thanks the old blokes

On a road trip from the ACT thru northern Victoria, to South Australia then back through Victoria (great Ocean road) and caching along the way. Whatever cache we happened to pass and I was in the mood we stopped to find and log. Some easier some harder:-) TFTC
A wheelchair? Not sure as some of these caches require bush bashing.

Thanks for number 5 a real
Frolic in the wind log signed

Nice quick find while out for morning walk.with muggle wife. Cache was WAY to easy a find, left on same spot, but hid it a bit better.TFTC

Found it!

Good hide

Good little hiding spot. Lovely little walk.

Found it! Tftc

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Hubby found this one TFTF

Another good cache pickup here, enjoyed the short walk to GZ for an easy find.
TFTC the old blokes.

We continued frolicking around the lake, enjoying the views and the peace of this little town.

????

Also 6metres out
Lucy and Rachel

This one took a little longer, coordinates seemed to be around 6m out today. Solid shoes required for this cache. Left bulldog clip took nothing. TFTC

??

??

Been upgraded! With a pen and some swaps

This one does have some small swaps!

Staying at Boort Caravan Park for a couple of nights, I walked around the lake with my friend and cleaned up the caches along the way TFTC

No trouble with rabbits here today, few ants at GZ but they keep to themselves. TFTC

TFTC

A nice little stroll into the scrub, once again not in the most obvious spot

No. 6

TFTC

On the walk to GZ, Bogonghazy made quite a jump when a rabbit popped out right in front of him. I think the Bunny was the more scared of the two, as he took off like lightening. We continued to the cache, which was quickly spotted and logged. Thanks yet again to the old blokes.

With a van in tow, and a heap of caches on the list before getting to Swan Hill tonight, Sully and I decided to grab these by car instead of getting the exercise needed for us both.
We walked across the longish wet grass, and a rabbit scared the be-jesus out of me as it took off from beneath my feet on the way to GZ. Anyway, another good hide in the series, thanks again.

Great find

Was frolicking over the long dry grass here! Got GZ, found the cache and lots of ants guarding it! Signed log and frolicked off to the next cache! TFTC

Long grass and sandals are probably not the best combination in hot weather, so I was very wary as I wandered the untrammelled wastes to GZ a quick find once there TFTC the old blokes

Found at 2.30pm,
A nice little walk to GZ, keeping a watch in the long grass for snakes.
TNLN
Thanks
K&M

enjoyed the bush bash. no snakes

TFTC. Very high grass at the moment.Found several places that it might have been.

My wife and I went on a tour to locate some historic horse troughs and geocaches. We found this on our second day. tftc.
Crusty.

Found with junior apprentice geocacher on Election Day 2013 - TFTC

Took a while. Great when we found it. Owen and Dylan and Ben are thirsty.

Beautiful dy to be caching. Lovely spot and an easy find. Left TB from the USA so help it on it's way.

Parked on the side of the road and headed bush and got this one ... TFTC

We enjoyed a fantastic if rather HOT long weekend attending the "Cohuna Matata" Geocaching event.
With the weather in the high 30's we cached in the morning and relaxed in the pool/river in the arvo.
What a great way to explore and enjoy the area.
Thanks to everyone for placing the caches for us to find.

Nice easy find, prickles everywhere, TFTC.

Got it easy

Usually I come to Boort to be one of 11 people to defeat them at hockey. Today it was to clean up caches.

This cache was one that had me on edge. Evey stick looked like a snake (I didn't see any though). Two foxes running through the undergrowth made me jump about 34 feet in the air.

Thanks for the cache The Old Blokes.

Magnificant winters day for a walk around the lake, good series for the kids.

4/06/12 10:42 Find #2197 . I'm glad conditions around here were dryer than they obviously had been in recent times . IT made the short walk from the road much easier

TNLN

Cheers The Old Blokes

Wow hot day may have a dip

ADE11-12. A bit scruby on the way to this one. Apart from the grass this one was much easier to find than the last one. Thanks.

Found at 4.00pm. I've never been to Boort before. I'm sure those that enjoy water sports are wiser to come to Boort as there is so much less water sporticians here.

TNLN. TFTC.

Day 7 Great Vic Bike Ride - TFTC. Easy find.

After freshening up from today's ride from Echuca I went for a pleasant ride around a lake and found some caches.

Thanks for the cache the old blokes.

TFTC .... Saw some Wobblies long grass was interesting took bouncy ball left matchbox car. Found with jem

tftc great hide

At last, after an earlier DNF, possibly due to the floods of earlier in the year, it was a pleasure to complete the BL series. A word of caution though. The grass and shrubs are quite high and in places dense, so an alert for snakes and spiders, especially if with little ones. Thank you to 'the old blokes' for this cache and the series, which over 2 visits I have greatly enjoyed completing. In the company of 'The Comrades'. TNLN except a lot of happy memories!

A nice easy find A few prickles to get passed. Took Nothing Left Nothing.
That is the last around the lake with 1 aussie fun seeker and mile high RnC.
Now for lunch overlooking the lake Thanks for bringing us here TFTC the old blokes really good.
