I have had some trouble with this one but I do plan on getting it done as soon as I possibly can.
Yes! A long weekend! Time to get out of the Can and go on a geomission around Aubury-Woodonga with Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL #1
Day two of our geomission around the area and today's target was the HSS series as well as any randoms we decided to pick up on the way there and back.
We'd completed the roadside caches of the HSS series, so we were now into the 'night phase' of our geomission picking up randoms
Nope! No joy fo us here. After a thorough search and then PAFing the CO, this little inmate appears to have escaped! [:O)]
Anyway thanks, Couze

Well the weekend was upon us and the planned Geomission with specimenX and FurfacesLL in Albury/Wodonga was here
We had been planning this weekend for sometime now and had been busy solving puzzles in preparation for the weekend. We spent the weekend doing the HCRT trail, some of the HSS series and some surrounding areas.
After a big day yesterday out on the HCRT series, it was time to head off for another big day targeting some of the HSS series caches.
We had done the road collections of the HSS and now we decided to do some random pickups. We were all getting pretty tired at this stage as it had been a big weekend already.
Search for quite sometime for this one. Resorted to contacting the CO to confirm we were indeed searching the correct area. Confirmation was received and the bad news provided that the cache was no where to be found. Interesting old jail however, little creepy at night time though
Thanks anyways Coruze

What a wonderfully constructed building and an ingeniously hidden cache, thanks Coruze
A good find even with all the muggles around

A Maker Madness event in Beechworth at lunchtime today meant we had the whole morning to ride down the hill and pick up a heap of caches along the rail trail. Unfortunately the weather decided against it and a few mm of rain caused us to stay in town for the day.
Just a short ride around the corner from our accommodation and this cache was spotted as we arrived.
Thank you for the cache Coruze.

Found during couple weeks adventure from Tom Groggin beginning to Murray Mouth end of the Murray River. Great little hide and find at 3:15 pm, a bit too late for the last jail tour, but always "next time". TFTC
Already the last day of this caching trip with J+J.AU and Baja15 to this beautiful area! Leaving the motel in Wangaratta for another bikeride, a good lunch in Beechworth with some caching on the route to Wodonga as well. Another great day!

I joined up with fellow cachers J+J.au and Wilbert67 and we made our caching trip down South. The puzzle preparation was done and the challenge of the finds awaited us. We were most impressed with the quality of the hides and had a lot of fun walking, riding and driving all the while taking in the wonderful scenery and history on offer. Thanks to the COs for making our trip so great. SL..TFTC
A nice day to stroll up and down Ford Street and do some shopping, with a break for caching in between. I spotted the likely location right away and told my fellow geocacher to go check it out, as I expected every minute that prison guards would come by and arrest us for being so close to the facility... Fortunately, nothing happened except we found the cache
Day six of our post Christmas / pre New Year trip... taking our new tent trailer for a test run, weather was very hot and humid. Our travels are taking us up to Ettamogah and across to Old Tallangatta before returning home.
Visiting many towns along the way, taking the Geo wife to places she has never been before, and giving our Geo Pug time to sniff out new territories
Did not expect to be seeing constant temps in the high 30's to low 40's... Geo wife got to see her first live black snake on the road in Australia, and I almost stood on a 5 foot brown snake at one cache on the HCRT, and a red back spider at another.
Stayed at some nice FREE camp sites along the way and a couple of caravan parks as well, learned a lot of things along the way, history and more, but in all a great adventure and we were able to clock up our 1000th find along the way ..
thanks to the CO for this cache

Happy Christmas! After enjoying our Christmas lunch, a few family members headed off to make a few finds, not a muggle to be seen. After a small misdirection Lamb76 made the find. TFTC.
After a little walking around and the GPS settling down we soon had the cache in hand. Early Monday morning ensured a pretty muggle free environment near GZ. A most fascinating history. TFTC Coruze
1778. History Lesson and a cache - Did a bit of head scratching here in this exposed site, finally - I Nabbed it !!! went for a walk with the cache to sign then replaced, sneeky hide..

TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity.
The name of this cache echoes of the demands of the vocal law and order element of our community. However, all was quiet today near GZ giving noone justification for calling "Lock 'em Up". This cache took a few minutes to locate as our GPS was being a little erratic - did it have a guily conscience about something? Once found, The cache and it's contents were in good condition. TFTC Coruze.
Very accessible and a photo opportunity! The congratulatory balloon was a nice touch. Left that but dropped three pieces of bling!
Suscoe's 18th find of 20 for today.
A delightfully cloudy day with a little cooler temperature than yesterday.
Enjoyed sitting in the late afternoon light watching the passing cars. Cache spotted and happy faces all around.
Logged and returned.

I can't believe that 269 people have logged this as a find & yet it has not 1 favourite point.
This is a great location that you have bought us to.

Found on our lovely visit to Beechworth. Stealth wasn't exactly our strong suit but a very fun find! Thanks!
Nice easy one. TFTC.

Went to the Bridge Road Brewery last night for the Live at the Brewery french dinner and decided to stay the night. Got up this morning to almost 0 degrees temperature and pea soup outside...... perfect for a walk around the lake and geocaching. With the lake done we decided to go further around the town. I've been around the goal many times but hadn't the time to get this cache. Pretty busy, with cars and muggles even in this weather. Cache was found without too much fuss in between pretending to take photo's. It's a pity about the new development in between the park and the goal, you would have thought they would have tried to keep it more in keeping with the area. Progress huh, gotta love it. Speaking of which, on to the next cache.

Spotted a likely place where the cache would be as I approached the jail. I was soon rewarded with a quick find TFTC Coruze
Easy find although some timing is reqd. Liked the mural opposite on the garage doors. T4Bringing us here.
Knew it had to be somewhere pity someone put it back a little to far but small hands retrieved
A quick find. Easier when the dog kids are there as a distraction for the passing traffic.
This one had me beaten on a previous visit. It was a fairly quick find today - it helps when you actually look in the right spot. TFTC.
Great little hide. Took some good photos of geo wife here. Lots of muggles about though, as always i expect from such a popular tourist town. Thanks for bringing us here.
Have been past this one so many times, there has always been some reason that we couldn't stop or there were to many muggles around. But today I was luck managed to pull up and locate the cache with only a few interruptions, tried the old pretending to tie shoe laces and on the phone (no not at the same time) sneaky hide not where I expected.

One of many caches throughout of Easter Long Weekend trip up the Kiewa Valley and the Victorian High Country.
All Were Great Caches, Thanks to all for giving us a reason to travel and taking us to some unique places up in the amazing Victorian high country.
I would recomend to anyone and everyone to travel and let the caches guide you thoughout the mountains.
At time of Caching I Was Know As "adrian.robinson" / "ar", Due To Facebook Automatic Naming and now known as "VicMap", Much shorter and easier to write.
Found with S.Piddy, roverman88, ashleigh.green, Jesstu666 and team purple pen.

Well hidden, and you must be quick, as the birds in the trees were bombing with acorns and droppings.

On my bike ride around Beechworth today I wobbled past the walls of the olde gaol.
But before I could break out the cache notes I spied a very likely place to hide a cache
I hopped off the bike and took a comfy seat in the shade for the breakout.
Passing muggles were oblivious to my actions and I escaped with a cache find

Found this one even though the GPS was jumping all over. Have been on a tour in this jail before, and really enjoyed it! The road wasnt too busy, and was an easy find when found the right area. Thanks heaps for this one!
Our 666th find, spooky. On the way to Beechworth Bowls club and decided on pulling over and seeing if this one could be found. Wasn't sure as it is an open spot, lots of muggles. Thankfully with great co-ords and something that just stood out made it easier than I thought it would be. Glad of this as it is a high muggle area. We have been here for the ghost tour a great night but no ghosts seen. Thanks Coruze for the cache.
Find #639 at 2:49 PM by Paul on a stinking hot day. We love the history of this old town and can't wait to come back and see a bit more.

We pulled up & silly me didn't have the gps with fully charged batteries.so it was not abiding by the rules. Geoson was looking at a skink that scurried by when the older son spotted the hide. Much to the dissappointment of the younger son but it was a great opportunity to discuss the job of the guardsmen who use to climb the lonely towers overlooking the gaol. What a lonely job. TFTC
Glad we could tick off another Coruze cache with a quick stop. Now we need to come again when a tour is on. Thanks for bringing us here.
Lovely day in Beechworth. Kids bought lollies, parents bought pies. Excited to see the jail is open to the public, although we missed the tours today. Tried to drop off TB but it didn't fit so just visited! TFTC
Fairly quick find. Interesting building. Thanks for the history and the photos!
