Many thanks Aussie Fun Seakers for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Had some success with the cache container however I had no success with the donkey. Perhaps he’s underneath the Long grass?

Suscoe headed out today in the terrific company of Phetlern.
We had a big day out with lot of finds covering many kilometres.
The countryside around this area is interesting with irrigation, hills, water, crops and livestock that were looking great.
Thanks to Aussie Fun seekers for this hide, it was great to learn about Zac as we travelled this area.

School holidays yet again and we thought we'd stay the night in Echuca. It took us about 6 hours to get there from Maryborough and about 13 to get home. Wink

A fun trip with only minimal rain, a handful of DNF's, some previous DNF's that are now smilies and 7 cache types found over the 2 days.

I did have a look for Zac but no sign of him.

No sign of Zac today but we did find a cache!

Today was day 1 of a 2 day road trip with Team Clarmensma (GemmaSistema & becca85 and our 4 geokids - neisha07, AdamSistema, boo09 & LukeSistema). The Sistema crew left Ballarat picking up the 3 girls in Maryborough and we cached our way via Jarklin, Pyramid Hill, Leitchville, Gunbower, Torrumbarry and Moama before finally arriving and staying the night in Echuca. We had plenty of finds, a few DNFs and heaps of laughter and fun as we cached along back roads, through tiny towns, around amazing lagoons and across rivers with stunning scenery wherever we went. Thanks so much for putting this cache out for us to find and enjoy. We really appreciate it.

The donkey was having drinks with 3 gen ys up the road, which was good, as I hate donkeys. Got a bit frustrated here until the Moose found it. Thanks for the hide.

Thanks for the cache.

After calling for a little, Zac was not interested today. The green grass was more tempting today than a crazy lady with water up past here ankles doing laps in the long grass and searching in and around the trees. Ha TFTC

A Sunday afternoon where I was requested to make myself scarce from my home so my wife could have a party with her friends. Hmmmm, what to do???

Caching of course!

I decided to head up towards Pyramid Hill and knock off some of the caches around that part of the world.

The last time I was here I was riding past on my trip from Mittiamo to Pyramid Hill with the Murray to Moyne bike ride. A tail wind was with me that day.

Today there was no wind and the temperature perfect. What a day to cache!

On the way from the Terrick Terrick caches I grabbed this one. Unfortunately it was sitting out in the open. Oh well. I signed the log and placed it where I believe it came from.

No sign of Zac today. Out on a run getting in shape for Christmas or perhaps he was just doing whatever donkeys do on a lovely Sunday afternoon.

Nice foggy morning, didn't see Zac, we ate the carrots, and found your cache, thanks for planting it here

As soon as I pulled up Mr Ed alias Zac trotted up and put his head enquiringly over the fence. Not having the forethought to bring any carrots, i proffered some clover which he graciously accepted before I got down to business and found the cache Thanks for the story and the cache Aussie Fun Seekers

This was just a quick drive by today on my way to Pyramid Hill Smile
But now that I am reading the cache notes back at 'home',
I wished that I had read them before I found the cache.

I saw Mr Ed, oops !! ... I mean Zac ... behind the fence Razz
I even had carrots in the car !!
If only I had known that the two go together,
Like strawberries and cream [:o]

If I am passing by again,
I'll make sure to stop and
Give Zac that carrot I owe him Razz

Cup Day was a good chance to head west and find a few caches.

Zac was right at the other end of the paddock today. Probably a good thing because the cache was lying just inside the fence line and was a bit of a stretch to reach. Log signed and cache returned to its normal hiding spot.

Thank you for the cache Aussie Fun Seakers.
#2496th @ 1003hrs and 6th of 10 for the day.

Making a round trip to clear a few caches nearby that haven't been able to get too for ages.
Zac was home today, and very eager for a pat. Unfortunately, we hadn't read the description and didn't bring a carrot, but he stalked us all the way along the fenceline, determined to get as much attention as he could.

Journeying back to Bendigo following a successful Cohuna Matata event, I took my usual round about way which was definitely not the most direct route to add to the numbers. A quick find then it was off to find some more before eventually arriving home late in the evening. Many thanks Aussie Fun Seakers for placing this cache.

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.
