A nice quick park and grab today, noticed the channels water lapping over the bridge with the wind causing some chop. Log is a little damp (not related) Thanks Propeller-Head for the hide.
looked at the decoy( real thing) then quickl found cache and signed log. cheers for bring us out this back road on our way home to Ky
In Shep overnight after attending 2 events yesterday we continued with our local caching before moving on.
A nice quick find as we saw the obvious as we pulled up.
Thanks Propeller-head for the placement.

Found eventually, after a blonde moment....that lasted a few minutes in the drizzling rain.
Headed out this way to have a crack at the "Crossroads" multi. No success with that one.
Clever hide!

Was a good find fairly easy, left a small thing behind to add to the collection
Thanks for the cache and the cute little treasures! Added some more treasures back.
Found and signed with dalerious on one of those rare evenings where no trucks were expected, meaning our working day was done.
A trip into Shepparton ensued to pick up and dust off a set of golf clubs, that as the years have advanced and hobbies changed, only get out and swung once a year on the Queen's Birthday long weekend.
This unusually named dot on the map had to be visited at least once I reckoned so tonight was the night; and I do mean tonight. It was dark and it was cold and because this was an impromptu visit, we didn't come as prepared as we normally would. No torch and one phone and a crapp pen was what we had to deal with. All was well because the cache was spotted and log signed.

Who would ever thought of a town like that thank you for the info nice little spot
Traveling over to Echuca by a somewhat convoluted path, and collecting a few odd caches.
A lovely sunny day for caching.
The directions are close enough for council work!
Actually I thought you named it that from the iconic scene in the movie "North by Northwest".
Nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

#18228. The first day of caching in quite a while, travelling between Beechworth and Echuca, via a long and winding road. Managed to find 13 and 1 DNF and also completed an AdLab in Tongala. Was surprised at such dry countryside and the gale force winds.
Taking some back roads and discovered this one on the radar. A quick find of the large container. The log book was a bit damp but OK to sign. We turned left and continued on our way.
Thanks Propeller-head

Good little hide, along roads I wouldn’t have seen without this cache, thank you
#12922 - 5:55:00 PM; Day 2 of the Wang Mega tour with Sol de lune. A quick visit to the Mega venue was followed by a couple more caches in town before heading out to finish off the Ned Kelly Helmet series (almost!). We enjoyed lunch at the Glenrowan Bakehouse, then hit the trails to the south before pointing ourselves north then west towards Echuca via Shepparton . After passing through the wetlands, we stopped for a couple along the northern shores before hitting the silo art trail. Refuelled the geomobile on the way through Shep and this was our first stop out the other side. No difficulties here. TFTC Propeller-head
Day 2 of the Mega for LuckyL10n and myself and after grabbing one or two more caches in Wang, we headed down to the NKH series to finish these off before heading off to Echuca on our round trip to Mildura before heading home.
On the way to Echuca we grabbed another 20 odd caches, while also visitng some of the silo art around the area as well Lake Mokoan for a few caches in there. A couple of interesting features were spotted, a bit of history learnt and a few dirt tracks where the AWD preformed very well.
Thanks to all the CO's of the caches we found. Most logs were signed SDL and L.L10n.

Have seen a few caches like this one, so it didnt take long to zero in on this one, the log ws a little wet, but nothing to drastic. TFTC
Saw this popup on the radar and decided to make a detour to grab it. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache. Find No. 1075
First cache since lockdown- so nice to be out and about again!! TFTC Notebook is damp.

We picked up this well disguised cache as we headed toward Bendigo for a family visit. So pleased not to be looking here in summer.
Our thanks to 'Propeller-head' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

Needing a bit of fresh air today and having a very limited choice of unfound caches around Shep to choose from, we decided to swing by this one. As we approached gz I was getting a strong feeling of deja vu. It seems that we actually signed the log for this one several months ago, but somehow managed to forget to log it. Doh! Never mind, all fixed now. Thanks for bringing us here Propellor-head and thanks for the cache.
Getting a little cabin fever whilst in Shepparton on babysitting duties. Not many left unfound around this area so pleased to have this one not yet found. Or so we thought. As we approached, papi4506 was sure we had visited here before. Maybe it had been a DNF? No. As we parked, we remembered where we had found it. Ah, yes. There was our stamp, waiting to stick its tongue out us, lol. Well, it’s definitely signed and is now logged. Thanks for placing this here and helping save our sanity.
Whatever reason you have for placing a cache we are more than happy. A cache anywhere for us to find a cache is a good place. SL TFTC
On my way to Undera for some speedway racing, and I had time for some caching. Picked this up as I cut across from Tatura. tftc.
In town for two weeks work, and with jcody tagging along for a bit of a break, we set of to see the sights and find a couple of caches around town.
A bit of a drive out of town brought us here for a quick find.

Grabbed, appropriately, while heading north, then west, then north, then west, etc., taking the scenic route from Shep back to the river.
On such a hot day (the mercury had reached 40° by the time I reached the crossroads by the coordinates), a drive-by cache was certainly appreciated.
Cleverly placed, but thankfully easily spotted and logged. Propeller-head, thanks for the fun detour.

On my way to do some caching in and around Tatura for the morning, this was my 3rd for the day.
Having seen this type of hide before made for a speedy find [^]. Very clever indeed. The contents of the cache are in good condition and are dry

After having a great weekend in and around St Arnuad for the weekend of events, I was sad to say goodbye and start to head home. I took the opportunity to meander along the back roads on the way home, grabbing whatever I hadn't found. I made some good clever finds along the way.
Happy to stop and stretch the legs while making this easy enough hide. Visited a few travel bugs while here.
Thanks Propeller-head for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

A nice quick find but unfortunately there is water on the inside of both bags... ? Condensation as there is moisture on the inside of the container too... weird.
It all needs to be dried out.
TFTC and the information. All of 3 intact letterboxes here.
Very small town:location indeed.

A hunt for some caches in my local area brought me to this cache today - the trek was slow to get here, with a rather slow tractor out for a leisurely drive but the cache was definitely worth it ! Great hide! TFTC
Spending the day out & about cache finding before it gets too hot. Quick easy find.

Located surprisingly quickly. I wonder how many people see this and think it belongs.
A favourite from me for the clever hide.

Each school holidays, GemmaSistema and I team up our 2 families to form Team Clarmensma (Myself, Gemma, neisha07, boo09, chan02, Adam & Luke) and target a n area to visit overnight.
These holidays Shepp was the lucky destination to host us.
We met in Bendigo and jumped in the 7 seater to continue on all together. A great 2 days was had exploring in and around Shepp before getting back to Bendigo in time for dinner.
Thanks for the cache!

With school holidays upon us again Team Clarmensma (me, becca85 and our 5 kids - AdamSistema, LukeSistema, chan02, neisha07 and boo09) teamed up for a mini road trip to Shepparton and surrounds. We had borrowed my father in laws 7 seater car so it was all of us in the geo car with plenty of tears and laughter! A quick find here - love all the water channels - just so different from where I live! Thanks
Found at 1030. A quick cache and I spotted it as I walked into the cache. TFTC.
Cache #3 of the Undera Wedding Adventure. It's "the morning after the night before" - where can I get breakfast at 7:30 am Sunday morning in Undera? Not here! Maybe Tatura's awake. Hello, what's this? We may take a tiny pre-brekkie detour... Now I can safely say I *have* been to North West Mooroopna (and let's face it, how many can?) Thanks heaps, Propeller-head!
Today was the day that muggle partner, Brodie and I left our friends at the Wakiti Creek Resort and headed towards the Lake Eildon GeoTour.
We got a bit stuck around Shepparton (there was just too many caches that I wanted to do ) and didn't leave there until about 5.30pm, after catching up with the lovely Cybergran V again
So with our plans to have started the GeoTour today having been derailed , we drove into Alexandra and stayed there for the night.
After tea, we headed out and walked around while doing the Alexandra Post Office cache
Today's cache finds numbered 10 and there was 2 DNFs
Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.
A quick find for us today as I've seen another cache in one of these elsewhere in this state
The container appears to be missing so someone had cleverly worked out how to ensure the log and swaps stayed within reach [^]
I took the liberty of replacing both plastic bags to try and ensure things stay dry.

Day thirteen of our 14 day holiday. Today we had another trip to Shepparton and surrounds and did some caches along the way. This was a quick easy find once we got to GZ. It seemed like it was a long way from nowhere on the back roads. GZ was quiet today......TFTC. TNLN.
#1715 Not the most creative place name we have come across, or is it? As the CO implies, it is a very unique name All quiet at gz today as we were making our way along the backroads to Echuca, not because we were drinking, but because we were caching! . Nothing like a hint onsite when you are trying to put your hands on a cache and that's what we discovered here. Nice cache Propeller-head, thank you for placing it, very creative
Loved this cache and by the way I attended Mooroopna North West Primary School (no longer operating - now a fire station) in the late 70s early 80s. Huge school of 26 pupils and many happy memories. Great to see you thought it was worthy of a cache.
Very clever, I looked at it 3 times before I really looked at it and realised what I was looking at, retrieved and signed the log, a little damp but bag wasn't sealed properly. Ha ha ha, great cache, gets a favorite from me. TFTC.
Lots of earthworks very close to the cache but it's still gettable. Took big brother oF DNF geocoin just in case the cache gets lost in the earthworks
We visited GZ for this cache today, but there are major works taking place, it looks like a large pipeline is going right over GZ. Geoturtle work to the tree standing closest to the works, and she was still 11m from GZ according to the magic box, so we reckon it must be gone for sure.
Very well designed - thanks for this cache! A lot of effort has gone into this one

A crossroads out amongst the cornfields.
Strange place to meet a cache I thought !! [:o]
Not another soul around,
So I wandered a bit to see if anything was to be found.
My mind would not concentrate though !!
Any minute now some crazy pilot in a cropduster was going to buzz me [:o]
I felt sure of it !!
Just then a car approached.
And kept going.
I poked around again for the reason I had been told to visit this spot.
Aha !! A sign
A very funny sign
ROFLMAO
Nice cache
And my best Carey Grant impersonation wasted on a couple of Choughs, who just wolf whistled me !!

PS: The 'chain' has come adrift again.

Very clever hiding! It didn't took long to find the cache because we already found some caches of this tipe but we really appreciate a job well done. Thanks to Propeller-head for this cache.
Nascondiglio molto intelligente, non ci abbiamo messo molto a trovare la cache perché già ne abbiano trovate di simili ma apprezziamo un lavoro ben fatto quando ne vediamo uno. Grazie Propeller-head

Fun hide. Nearly got caught by muggles here of all places. Dropped a trinket and a working pen into the cache and took one that didnt. TFTC. Loved it.
#525 TFTC... Sorry for the generic post, I am MONTHS behind in my logging. My process is to take a screen shot of the date and time on my iPhone, and then a screen shot of the cache page in the App and then when I get home, log it on the web site as I hate writing extended posts on my phone, but when I go on long holidays from Melbourne to Sydney to Washington DC and then New York and back to Melbourne I get a little behind on my homework. (I hate homework :p) I'm sure I picked up a few TBs along the way too, which I will be sure to log asap. Thanks again for the hide
Wat a clever cache. Had us going for good 30 mins searching. Well done!!! Enjoy the smiles
Geocaching day with chook&toon and roseart. Found to complete 25 caches today.
We weren't too sure about retreiving this one as there road works
at the cross road. They were too busy to worry about us though.
Fantastic hide Propeller-head. You obviously like making caches like
we do. Well done and a fave point from us!!!

I set out to find this when the weather was looking ominous but I continued on and was so glad I did, love the container, fortunately it was a quick grab for me and I was home just before it started to rain. I released Tigger, he wanted to get out and bounce a bit, I left behind a penguin
Arrived at GZ looked around and quickly realised what was to me the obvious hiding spot and yep there was the log!!!! TFTC
Well that was a lovely nightly stroll with the family from our house. Very ingenious idea.
What a great hide, however the thingy on the whatsit has come adrift making it a bit difficult to extract the you know what from the object we came to find. (if you know what I mean )
Very nice hide, lots of effort put into this one. A passing truck driver looked at us rather suspiciously as we signed the log book. Found with the SCP on our way to Shepparton. TFTC
Found on our day's journey across to Shepparton. in the company of the Crazy Creels and the Geogetters on our fortnightly Sisterhood caching trip.
We took quite a diversion off the highway to this one and we loved your work.
