After leaving Bridgewater, it is time to start heading home. However, not before getting some more geocaches. Especially while trying to take a huge dint out of the 12 and 20 geocaches in each LGA challenge. Never cached in the Loddon nor Mount Alexander Local Government Areas, there are lots to select, but we do only have a small time window.Weird, I had the coordinates right in the middle of the building. But we found it in the very first place we looked.Thanks for the cache, Tigers Den.Hunter

Stamped as JAMS - JJ52, alllister w, mogni, sir_spectre. All of these teams are from South Australia and after some major planning we managed to find approx 700 caches while being away for a week. Also qualifiied for a variety of challenges, found LGA's and had lots of laughs. Found while attending the Victorian Mega in Rutherglen.
Thanks

Made a pitt stop on the way home to get me closer to 20 caches in this LGA. quick find.
Found with JAMS (( JJ52, Allister w, Mogni, plus sir_spectre ) Mitchell&hound wasn't with us this trip) crew. All logs stamped as JAMS to save log space. This trip we are off to the Rutherglen Mega and then slowly coming back to S.A. for a total of 8 dys and 7 nights. The targets of this trip are for JJ52 to get 11 more multi to get to 1000 multi's and a few more Victorian LGA's, Allister W was targeting 17 virtuals ( or as many as he could get ) a few more Victorian LGA's Mogni to make the Rutherglen Mega her 20, 000 find and also for her to complete all Victoria LGA's, sir_spectre needs 1 more multi to get to 1000 multi's and get his Victoria LGS's down to 2 LGA's left. We got 20 or more finds in a LGA if we stayed in there over night. We also detoured to stamp any challenge caches that we were " in the general area off " and to complete that challenge before we came back to S.A. This meant that some times dirt road (s) had to be walked down because they were to wet to drive down and/or haven't been repaired since last years flooding. We started off the holiday in the rain and then that cleared up only to start raining and a overnight thunder storm but most of the trip was dry. Over 600 caches found for the trip including over 120 lab stages in that total. Got to complete the GPS Maze at the Rutherglen Mega for a 2nd time. Allister w was the team driver for all of the Victorian part of the trip. I think this was the first trip ever to Victoria that the extension pole didn't get used but the 6.2 meter ladder did get a work out.

This was the third visit for me here. I’m not sure if the cache was there the other times as I’m sure I had looked in the same place then as well. But very happy to log today that I have finally found this one! Thank you.

I was on a road trip with sushilord heading to Bendigo for a few days and finding caches far and wide. We weren't after numbers just out of the way places and caches with lots of favourite points. We had an enjoyable and fun time, but I was stuffed by the time we got home. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache tigersden. Smile

We have driven through Newbridge many times over the past years, but never stopped to cache as we were usually trying to get somewhere a lot further away before dark. This weekend we were camping nearby so it was a short stroll to the cache.
Cache found easily and in good condition. TFTC tigersden.

Reasonably accurate coordinates led to a quick find. Unfortunately the logbook was in pieces and a little worse for wear. So we have provided another logbook for the cache. Thanks tigersden for the cache.

With Mrs P and daughter heading home a day early due to the wet weather I now had a day all to myself to cache to my hearts' content! So I chose to take a tour of the region and see some parts I haven't travelled to before. Quite a few cars already parked up when I arrived so I thought I might struggle to get a search underway. But once I was around the right side of the building I found the cache in the first place I looked ( cachers intuition!) Thx tigersden for the hide. I think this logbook may need renewing too.

After a great night sleep at camp last night in Lockwood, I woke up early for a big day of caching through the Bendigo region, Bridgewater, Serpentine, Prairie and Echuca. A great day out, lots of finds, only 2 DNFs.

I’m not stealthy. If a muggle sees me, they see me. This time however, no one saw me. Grabbed some breakfast and a coffee from the general store afterwards.

TFTC.
