Out caching with Kiscardi and Agazo. Signing as KAM.
Our last day at the Rutherglen Event.
Heading south again after lunch.
This was a photo opportunity to take back home. We kiwis are a little scathing of the size of the “lakes” and “hills” around here.
A definite hill in this flat land.

Time to start the long winding journey home today collecting the remainder of the FTF Explosion multi's ones that came out yesterday along with any others that cross our path.

All caches found quickly log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache hide Bingley3683 and thanks for the fun weekend Rapidlywild.

It was an early start to the day a couple of quick ones is Albury and then a couple in Corowa before catching up with Domsky and the Roddy’s for more adventures.

Today was my chance to finish off and clean up a lot of loose ends in town. We pretty much started at one end and worked our way around. I was in car for part and another team for the rest, I even got to play on some Escooters for most of the BBBT. It was a fantastic day for me as I got to sit back and see the sights as well as finish off different series and the ones as we passed by.

The FTF series was one we finished and the planets was another. Got in some adventure labs as we passed also. All logs were signed and the usual different coloured pens depicted on who got it first, lol. Thanks again for the hides and the puzzles.

We visited this beautiful location on our Easter weekend in Rutherglen.
We were travelling with a few fellow Qld caching buddies.
Log signed and a big thank you Bingley3683 for adding to our mega adventure.

Today was clean up day. After a big weekend already, today was our last day around the Rutherglen area so we focused on cleaning up where we could. Our main focus was collecting the new FTF Explosion multis that were released yesterday so after gathering the required information for them yesterday afternoon and last night, we had a heap of solved ready to be found. Read some interesting information boards along the way.

Thanks for the cache placement Bingley3683 and thanks FFLL for another fun filled weekend.

Rutherglen MEGA Long Easter weekend trip. Day 4 Easter Saturday.

Found with sharkiefan while spending time in the area caching n chatting and all things MEGA
This year with new tools and transport on board. Bike, ladder, poles and a variety of other items to help with the cache grabs.

Puzzles were all sorted before the weekend. Making way for the finds to come.
Plans sorted for cache attack days, between ladder climbing, power trail grabs and the large amount of ad labs in the area. Not to mention the MEGA site visits and numerous other events to attend.

My stat's of finds started at 11,886 ?? before leaving home. Let's see what the final numbers are at trips end for the MEGA.

Found with FUF009. Day 3.
Rutherglen turned up a pretty nice day today.
After a sleep-in, we did some more AdLabs, pathtag trading, and a few events, then all the BBP series, which included some hairy roads. Then FTF madness kicked in and we raced for a few but without luck. So we ended up rounding up as many multi finals as possible before heading into town for dinner, pizza again! Still excellent. I got my 13,500th cache somewhere amongst all this. Currently logging at the same time that we night cache the Easter 2023 wherigos!! Its going to be a nice sleep in tomorrow. Tftc

A new day a new adventure, loving caching in the area! Sadly have to work tomorrow so making the most of today. Weather seems to hold and looking better than yesterday. A few more in the Rutherglen area and visiting all the wineries before starting the long drive home.

It’s Easter and the Rats are either, on our way, in town or heading home from Rutherglen after a great caching adventure.
Thanks to all the cache owners who’ve contributed to the vast variety of caches we found this trip.

Back down south for another mega weekend!! Great to be able to visit the area again and enjoy some caching and catching up with friends. Cached with loads of different people over the weekend and checked out the local yummies. Found this one with GLISS! on our way out to Chiltern. Thanks to all the cache owners who set and maintained the caches. Great to have been able to add this one to my collection. Thanks for the cache.

Quickly fou d on the way to Chiltern with Nibletricecakes. TFTC.

Easy find on the way home to Wangaratta from the MEGA. SL at 17:10. TFTC.

History is all around us. Thanks for bringing us here, great view today.

Today was the day to finally finish off the Easter Wherigo caches. We took the pushbikes again as we have used this mode of transport to find the majority of this series. It was a perfect day to be out and about with a bit of a breeze and not too hot.
When we finished the series we decided to drive around to find a few more caches with this being one of them. We took the long way around to find this one before finally signing the log. The contents were quite sticky and probably needs a new container or a clean out

Nice spot.

Out and about exploring the area with my Snuggle-Muggle. It's always nice to pick up some caches as well.
Thanks for the geo-fun.

But for a bush hide the lovely place to come find it thank you for the hide we've had fun

Sneaky little detour on the way home to grab this one. So glad we did, even in the dark you could tell how beautiful it is. And some huge trees around! Tftc

Out caching for the afternoon. Wow this place is stunning!! A quick find here, tftc!

Love the sorts of places in the history that’s left behind

On a overcast Friday it was great to explore some caches around Chiltern, specifically exploring around the Chiltern ponds. Lovely history behind the caches thanks for keeping them so well maintained.

TFTC, we loved the views, smart hiding spot!

Guarded by the coots. Nice and easy. TFTC.

Corowa - Rutherglen - Chiltern
We have made our base at Ball Caravan Park Corowa for a few days geocaching arounnd the local area.
Lots of history & wineries in this area. Geocaching has been a wonderful way for us to explore the region.

Thankyou Bingley3683 for placing this cache.

This was only a short drive from the main road and so very picturesque. There were a number of birds and ducks enjoying the two lovely dams that were surrounded with greenery which was in serious contrast to everything else being straw coloured. Thanks for the cache and bringing us out here.

We were in the terrific company of Phetlern and we had a great time finding caches and having fun together out caching again.

It was a delightful day, mild with lots of sunshine.

Thanks to Bingley3683 for this hide, a nice area to explore.

After completing the OCR series with our great friends Suscoe this morning, we spent the afternoon exploring the countryside and seeking jointly unfound caches in what appeared to be Bingley3683 territory around Eldorado, Chiltern Valley and Springhurst.
Thanks for the history lesson.

Thanks Bingley3683 for placing such interesting caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Quick find, last one for the day left a TB. Thanks!

Interesting finding a large man made mountain in the valley. No ducks about when I was there though, must have been too windy for them! Cache in good condition. TFTC

Found 24-03-2021

A lovely spot to stop & have a wonder. Quick easy find. TFTC

Beautiful spot, a family of black swans swam past as we opened cache

Cool

Found by Mary and David at 13:10. Our first cache as we head north on the first day of our QOGM holiday. Really cool breeze and a lot of rain after we left maccamob HQ. Another of these places that we say "If we hadn't started caching we would never have seen this place". Interesting history. Plenty of water birds around. Our thanks to Bingley3683.

Tftc

I forgot to log this cache the other day. Nice spot for a cache wonderful to see so many birds. And of course beautiful views. TFTC

So many waterfowl around. Nice little spot to take a break. Tftc Bingley3683

Beautiful little suprise spot, plenty of birdlife to checkout too

TFTC. Retrieved a trackable. Interesting hill and dry lake.

Nice quiet little spot. Dropped a TB off TFTC

Having a great time caching while we camp in Rutherglen

All geocaches get me outdoors, and any cache may highlight ...Vistas, Flora, Fauna, Local Interests, Events & History. Perhaps even being a simple challenge. Regardless of a find or not, they are all unique and I sincerely thank the cache owner for placement of this one.

Nice Cache love the spot

Thank you. From Lachdog16 and Beckyjmcc.

FTC...easy find for geokids

Made that harder than it should have been- can’t believe a car came along while I was signing the log! TFTC

Easy find thanks

Nice quick find

I love a quick find.. tftc

Very nice!

Found it

Glad we looked up while signing the log as we hadn't actually noticed the mountain on the hunt for the cache! Not sure how we missed it but we did...almost! Thanks Bingley. Now to get back on to that road which is unbelievably busy! Lucky I was prepared to get my car dirty as several cars refused to pull off the bitumen as we approached!!! Didn't leave us with much choice. I'll pick dirt over a head on collison any day!

Good spot

We enjoyed seeing the Lake and Mountain and were most fortunate to see a lovely white egret on the water when finding the well hidden cache. Thanks for the interesting notes - much appreciated.
TFTC Bingley3683 and bringing us here due to it.

Lovely view of the old gold mine

Found it

Tftc . No snakes today

Our seventh find today, and this has been the most scenic so far. What an unusual scene. Muggle Hubby enjoyed taking photos whilst I located and signed the cache.
Thanks Bingley3683 for showing us this.

Checked this one and dropped off a Regie Race trackable to start its progress twaords the Chilterns in England! And replaced the soaked container - its now a regular...

I was in Melbourne for an appointment, TeamThommo decided they would take me home and come and stay for a few days during the school holidays.
TT had plans of filling some dates in her grid.
This was one of the caches we found to do that.
TFTC

I pulled too far off to the side and nearly got stuck today! The water was very high.
I'm really sorry in advance for the lame generic log but the more I think about the time I don't have at the moment the more I have decided a generic log is better than just TFTC or no log at all.
Today saw us out and about for the second day whilst based at Geogranni's.
This was one of the caches we found, we are currently trying to fill a few squares in out hidden date and hidden month grid. Thank you for supplying us with a cache to do that.

Sunday adventures, with geolance and walshy

Travelling around Australia.

Another beautiful day. Mr Felix wrote a list for caches to tackle today, so after packing some lunch it was time to head out and explore our way around Rutherglen and surrounds.

Long day with us getting back just on dark.

Lovely spot! Easy quick find

Quick easy find

Hummed and haahed about doing this one and I am glad I did. Thanks for the cache and a great spot. Have to drag the camera out for a bit of waterbird photography. Heaps of other birds around as well and was the first time I've noticed Rainbow Bee-eaters in a flock flying north this year. Guess what, winters coming.

TFTC. An historic and lovely isolated location. Nice quick drive by.

Yay...havin good fun

Good fond.

TFTC. On this Sunny day we had aimed for a series of multis. This was close by and we thought "why not". The frogs were noisy but the cache was quickly in hand. We loved the camp, fitted in perfectly with the description .
