Easy find if your feeling advantages

Log waterlogged and cache had 5mm of water in it, log put in plastic bag and cache emptied. Probably needs a new log.

TFTC, Log wet and 5mm or so water in bottom of cache. Drained it and put log which is sodden into a plastic freezer bag, only bag I had. Will post a needs maintenance post.

Finally down from Mount Bellevue and "Pilots Peak" cache and now trying to get back home but, dammit, caches just keep popping up on our radar. Sigh. A late night me thinks! [|)]

Out for a big day of caching on a brisk winters day with fellow cachers Biggles of OZ and Mrs Biggles. Another nice easy find for the day, number 7. Although it was now dark we were unable to see much of the surrounds. TFTC TNLN

Found although now getting darker, having a good day caching with Mr Mrs Pooky.

Dropped by to find a very very wet cache . Helped out with large silica satchel, hope it drys the logbook. Most amazing scrapyard across the road

Found as part of our High Country trip with mum and dad from TWDG and Locus cache and GPS. Was a great few days of beautiful country in a part of Vic I was yet to explore much of! Definitely be back soon!

TFTC!!

Found during our High Country Victoria trip with Gordon Patrick Samuel (GPS), locus cache & Princess Consuela.
We all really enjoyed the experience.
Thankyou to all who have placed & maintained their caches in this beautiful part of Australia

At the last moment, I received time off of work in order to head over to do the High Voltage 101 power trail and spend time 4WDing in the amazing and wonderful Victorian high country
GPS, thewhitedoggang and Princess Consuela were my travelling companions and great company they were, too [^]
All up, over 6 days, 161 caches were found with only 2 DNFs (one of which we later realised was already disabled )
Also, during our High Voltage experience, I hit my 8,000th cache find

This was the only cache of this series which we found but find it we did
Thanks for the chance to stop and stretch our legs, maybe one day I can come back to this area and get the rest of the series.

Whizzed past this one and had to make a U turn. Quick, easy fine. Part of the log book is wet, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to dry it out.

Travelled from SA to do some High Country trails with The White Dog Gang, Princess Consuela and Locus Cache. We all had a great time.

Thanks mvyrmnd for the cache, the laughs and the adventure.

TFTC - Great day for a cache or 2

Cache was full of water and log book was unable to be written in

#280 - 03/11/2014 - 1021

After waiting for the GPS to settle this was a nice easy find. Long grass was a bit sketchy though due to the warmer weather. TFTC!

A big group of us travelled from Geelong to Kelly country for several days of history-related caching.
I stopped here, searched for a while but unfortunately it eluded me today.
Thanks for the hunt.

One of 21 caches found today during a big three day cache run, up to and around Kelly country which included Benalla, Tolmie, Beechworth and Glenrowan. A great three days spent exploring and discovering with a fantastic group of fellow cachers, which we collectively called ourselves 'The Kelly Gang'.

Jacko83 had jumped in the car with me to find a few caches as we made our way to Greta. We made a short detour to grab a few caches before meeting up the the rest of the gang. A nice quick stop and find in this quiet location. Thanks for the cache.

Nice quiet country cache on way to Greta with Quasar. Tftc today.

Nice easy find. Cache was full of water tried to dry as much as we could. TFTC

Down in Benalla area cleaning up on a few caches. Just love driving through the hills as it is as flat as where we live. TFTC

Took the day off work to make it a extra long weekend. Decided at last minute to do an afternoon cache cleanup near home. This was the last of 16, nice easy find after a muggle who was clearly lost kept driving around in circles near gz before finally settling on heading towards Greta..... tftc.

I hadn't meant to look for this one but I ended up coming this way to I did. An easy find once I looked in the right spot!

A quick find with emily63 and geokids. Took pencils, left matchbox dump truck. Nice to find this one when visiting family not too far away.

Out caching with Wakjatoo, TFTC

Quick find without GPS signal TFTC

TFTC very close to home don't know why we hadn't done it sooner.! Took nail Polish loved it thx

Lush, green grass near this one. I don't like that on warm, sunny days like today. It was a quick retrieval of the cache, then back to the car for me. Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. TFTC

Another nice easy drive by cache - or, it would have been except for the long grass. Lost Bentley Geo-pup as the grass was thick and well over his head
Found with misschief18

Having a lovely morning driving these rural roads and finding the occasional cache. TFTC mvyrmnd

Came at this one from the wrong side and found it easily. Took a beer bottle cap and a Ruger .204 rifle shell and filled the container with some more kid friendly items. TFTC

Quick stop on the way home from Greta! TFTC

A nice quick one - thanks for placing it!

A quick drive by.

The Labour Day long weekend gives me the opportunity to head up to Lima South to stay with friends and to get some caching done in northern Victoria and southern New South Wales. Starting early in the morning I had a great day collecting smilies, eating the occasional sticky bun, and working it off hiking the hills. It was well after dark when I returned with a parched throat that was soon Quenched. thanks to all the CO's who placed caches that I collected today. Thanks.

Sorry about the late logging on this cache, I lost my cache notes, and with the help of blacklegend, now know which finds I made.

Found on a day out caching with Blacklegend and Sportacuss. TFTC and the experience.

Another local run, BL on a cleanup mission.... Caching with Poynts95 and Mr.David for the day, and a couple of the little kiddies, Marindah 5yo and Natasha 3yo. Had a great day, and collected just under 20 finds from memory, on a loop that took almost 500kms to complete, heading past the Warbys, Benalla, Greta, then into Wangaratta and finally home.

Nice little spot here for this one. Love these back road finds. A cache I have had my eye on for a while. TFTC.

Found today with cory and blacklegend

After grabbing No.2 we swung past for No.3. Our GPSrs weren't as accurate for this one, but its size gave it all away. Bettyboo had her hands upon it in no time.
Thanks for the series, Robmc.

# 2838. As Robmc had to head back to Melbourne this afternoon we decided to take two cars and try to find a couple of new caches and a couple of outstanding ones between Greta and Benalla. We hit road works signs about here but there was no-one about today. Rob's GPS and mine were disagreeing again but both were a bit wobbly at GZ. I always think parallel twigs and bark are a dead giveway and so the hide was found quickly. Took: Nothing, Left: Small Dragon TB that has been languishing in Casterton for 6 months or more. TFTC

Found on 23rd of January at 12:35

Thanks mvyrmnd.

Located. left a swap for the boys.

Nice easy find TFTC

found with INKLE
left butterfly and saw

out cacheing with taz-bud
easy find tftc
left dragonfly and leaf

Not sure whether missing this cache was due to our lack of skill or what appears to be recent works at the site. It appears to be a mixture of grading and tree trimming efforts.

Might be worth a check.

I shared this find with Crustyvarmint as we were traveling up for the Australian Sidecar Championships Speedway. I also picked up Frizelblitz and took him for a ride further north.

While traveling to the Hunter Valley with Mad Wizard, we picked up this cache. tnln. tftc.

Cheers mvyrmnd

1.05 Out and about with 80 degrees for a dancing/caching weekend and now on our way home. This was number fourteen on our list for day. We pulled of to the siding for this one and it was a nice easy find by Mr 80. Cache in good condition.
Thanks mvyrnd for the cache.

Found at 1.05pm as we headed in a homeward direction after a great weekend of caching and dancing with the xambo4u team. Mr80 made the quick find. TFTC

Enjoy wandering into country on way Melb.
Thanks for bring me here and cache.

Found @1434 #1382
While attending the OzMega with ahomburg & Kwokka this was one of many caches found over the long weekend with 101 in total found. Today was the biggest single day with 42 found.

Had found #2 in the Road to Greta series 2 days ago. Was good to be passing by to find another in the series. A quick find.

Find # 1596

Today was day three of a massive adventure weekend caching in the Albury Wadonga region as well as incorporating the OZ Mega event. I would be spending most of my time with Team Kwokka (Brother and Sister in Law) as well as my caching mate and partner in crime, SedgwickDave

Today we were aiming to complete two power trails, having completed Spirit of Salts, we started to head back towards Wangaratta via a short diversion to start on The Gourmet Run Series.

A quick driveby on the way past. TNLN.

Thanks to mvyrmnd for the cache.

easy find Gumbowie540

#2503 We had a huge day in the district and beyond so thought we'd finish by heading through Greta to grab the two caches there. There was a car parked nearby to GZ but it was empty so Dad could locate the nicely sized cache without too much issue. We took the Geocoin to keep it moving as the cache hasn't had much traffic through. Thanks mvyrmnd for a pit stop on the way home. Cheers

Just dipping in TB's as we go past.

Finally having the opportunity to grab a long weekend away we decided to try and clean up a few caches in Albury and surrounding areas hoping to allow for more socializing at the upcoming mega event. We were slowly working our way south zig zagging our way from cache to cache. We were quite hungry by now but the old" just one more before tea" kicked in and we found ourselves in these nice gardens. We guessed where the cache maybe but had to wait for a muggle with a baby in a pram to slowly wander passed before we could confirm our suspicions and we were soon signing the log. Now it's definitely time to find something to eat
Thanks myvmrdd for the cache

At last this one is off the list too. Nearly bought a block right near here many years back. Was outbid at the auction but with hindsight I wish I'd gone after it a bit harder. Anyway it's water under the bridge now.
Dropped a coin here which I've had for way too long. Maybe I should have placed it closer to the highway to give it more chance of moving but it's done anyway.
Thanks again mvyrmnd

Was about to give up on this cache when I actually managed to stumble upon it 65m away from where my GPS was telling me to go. Glad I found it, great cache

I have been wanting to do the Greta 1,2&3 series for a while now and finally the opportunity came a knocking.. Made a quick find in what I thought was a well cammoed hide
tftc

Our decision was to head back towards Wang. and Greta #2. Left TB. TFTC.

On our way back to Wangaratta after doing the series in the country...easy find by Mr Bushies2. Thanks mvyrmnd.

Reperio at 1340. It's been a couple of years since I've been out this way, so it was nice to revisit the area and pick up a few caches. Stopped by here on the way back to Wangaratta, and at first, wondered if I would have to go digging for the cache with so much earth moving going on around GZ, but as it was, the cache was soon spotted completely uncovered, so just placed a few sticks over to limit it's exposure.

Gratias.

Found on a night run on a week night at about 8.25pm. Have driven past this spot many times over the years and visited friends along each of the roads at this junction. It was a 'spur of the moment' decision to go looking for these along Greta Road so no swaps to add to the decent sized cache container. SL - no traffic lights to blind us here tonight. TFTC mvyrmnd

On a lazy day off, kicking back at home when the alert went off for three new ones down Wang way.
It was a long shot for a chance of the FTFs as we new the Dreamer would be on the case pretty quick - not to mention Tattboy who is keen as for his first FTF.
We thought we may as well have a go as there were others in the area that were on our to do list anyway.
After seeing the log at #1 of the series signed by Purpledreamer we knew it was even a longer shot for the FTF at #3. We were about 4.8Kays from GZ when we passed the Purple Geocaching machine of Purpledreamer going the other way, a quick flash of lights and a wave as we passed each other. Then the message came in LOL PD.
Well done Purpledreamer on the FTF.
Thanks to mvyrmnd for the cache.

In the area thought i had a chance at ftf but lost and purpledreamer beat me to it oh well great day for a drive SL TNLN TFTC WELL DONE GUYS!!

FTF Yippee!!
After grabbing FTF'S on the first two of this series I headed for the third hoping for a clean sweep.The area and drive out this way was lovely and was interested in the old cemetery that I passed on my way.Spent a little longer that I would have liked searching the GPS was jumping about and the Iphone kept going offline.Was glad to open a blank log book.Three FTF'S great! .
Passed Lostmonster&Co on the way back into town new they wouldnt be far behind and had wondered if Tattboy would give the FTF a go which I see he did.
