Disabling this one. Going to check on this one today to see if the hide has been compromised.

Time to put this one to bed - it is amazing that it has lasted this long in its exposed position. Thanks to all who have taken the time and effort to log a find.

Found just lying in the paddock very exposed. Managed to reach under the fence to get it. Have placed next to fence post but still very exposed.

Fabulous view. TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
[8)] Luckily the slasher did not destroy this one as the concrete electrical post on the fence side was slashed to the base? [8)]

I like it

Another one of the list

Lovely outlook at the foot of the ranges, watching the rain pour down across the flats. Tftc

#1795 A quick find of a nearby cache to complete our calendar for December. Some nice unimpeded views across Wang to the high country. Now onwards into town for some supplies before returning home to relax. Thanks for maintaining this cache Harrowang.

Quick stop and grab. Very foggy in the valley today.

Arrived at GZ and questioned the arrow who was adamantly pointing at nothing and nowhere to hide a small… wait, what’s that!

Suscoe had a delightful day out in the Wangaratta, Glenrowan, Winton and Benalla area today enjoying the caches placed and the varying country side.
Today was a very warm day and we certainly appreciated some gentle breezes from time to time. however the sunshine was fairly intense from time to time.
This was our 13th find of the day
All was fairly quiet here.
We were impressed with the view both ways.
Thanks to Harrowang for placing this cache out here.

Awesome view. Can even buy it. House for sale.

Found with MISTANICKSAV. Had an evening of caching. TFTC.

Find #26, Great views as the listing mentions. This was a tricky find, missed it on my first two sweeps of the area, but then went back for another look as my partner in crime chatted to a friendly local muggle mowing the lawns asking if we were lost, and i found it, good camouflage. The muggle thought geocaching sounded like a good way to see the countryside, and I must agree having seen more of my local area today and some places I've never been to before. TNLN SL TFTC

Owner maintenance - replaced broken lid and mouldy log book. All good again. Thanks for alerting us DocNWitchjy.

Doc nearly gave up on this one when it was actually fairly easy to find. Replaced the bag as it was rather wet inside and the log is a bit mouldy. The lid of the container is cracked too. Dried it out as much as possible and then replaced it. TFTC

TFTC nice easy one for the day

Piece of cake.

been looking to get this for awhile. had to visit wang today just time to grab a couple of caches. tftc.

Had a quick look for this one but nothing leapt out at me. Being on a time budget I moved on to the next one.

Found at 11:32:00 AM while slowly making making our way to Echuca after attending the events in Albury at the weekend.

Thanks Harrowang

# 5893 Found while in Wang with Fred6603 for a stopover on the way to more events at Echuca.
Another perfect day for caching, wth a little sun and cloud and nice countryside.
A quick stop and find here and then on to the next one.
Thanks for the cache Harrowang,
Roostaman.

nice quick one. sl tftc

Easy fond great view.

Found it , great view

We have always done our best to make all our logs original and not do the cut and paste thing. Today, however, we have 91 caches to log and i cant really see myself sitting down and typing out that many original logs.
Our aim when we head off in the morning was for 100 caches, unfortunately we didn't quite make that number. We did get 91 and had a great time doing so.
Our day started out with roughly a 25km bike ride from Old Tallangatta to the Sandy Creek Bridge. This was followed by a few more stops on the rail trail before spending the rest of the afternoon running around Wangaratta.
We had a great day and send our thanks to all the C.O's who provided the great caches we visited.
TFTC.

Not too long to find this one, TFTC

Wangaratta Area 2013 with Mtrax. As we moved around the outskirts of town we gathered caches as we went. It was good to see the farmland and the cattle all looking pretty good this year. Thanks.

Day. 2. A geocaching weekend trip from Canberra to the Wangaratta area with Albida , The weather was warm and it was interesting driving around the area plenty of site to see, hmm this had us scratch our heads as GZ was pretty much in no-mans land.. so had to expand the search and bingo after some wider searching found it.

On a warm Wangaratta caching day, I had reached the limits of my ride for the day, it was time to find this cache and head home
At 1:00 pm could I have picked a less shady or more hot place to look for a cache ?
Probably not [xx(]
I rolled up to the lighpole on the bike and stood in the column of shadow that it provided
Hey nice views [^]
If it were not so hazy I can imagine there would have been distant mountain ranges visible on the other side of the valley too
Ah well, you can't have everything !!
A cache find would be nice though
I wandered around looking for one.
The midday sun had been playing tricks on my caching mind for the last few finds.
Or maybe it was just the evil cache hiding methods employed by the locals ?
After 5 hot minutes I decided that this cache was not here.
There was nothing here, except a lightpole and a fence
Oh and views
As I turned to leave, I had a thought.
Wandered over to a random spot and found the cache [:o]
Why does that keep happening today ?

Wangaratta syndrome I guess [:o)]

TFTC and views.

# 2852. After riding and walking to caches in the Warby Ranges earlier in the day with Robmc, we now had chewinprickles on board for a few more.

I had attempted this one at the end of October before the coordinates were updated. Today we pulled up near the lamp post, I hopped out and walked straight to it. Good camouflage. The views across to the mountains were pretty good today although we saw more smoke billowing up in the distance. TFTC

This was, cache # 22 of 85 finds for the day in the Company of Trailrunning. Not sure if this was a coincident but the near by post had a purple tag on it, once we trusted the gps and ignored the obvious location the cache was soon found. My thanks to purpledreamer (adopted by Harrowang) for the cache.

After a great Christmas at home with the kids, the girlfriend and I headed up to her sister's place in Lima. After a few windy and hot days up there I get a call from my fellow The Demolition Crew team member RebelActs who syas he'll be visiting the area with CrazyNatGirl! We decide to plan a day of caching in the Wangaratta area, and hit the easy drive-by's. I'm so sorry for the generic log, but given I'm over 200 logs behind (no internet or pc for the last few weeks) this is all I can manage. Thanks to all the CO's and their efforts.

Enjoyed the views both above and below on this gloriously sunny day. TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1630. An appropriate name for this spot. So sad to remember that purpledreamer is no longer here. Hope there are (purple) caches in heaven. Loved the gum trees nearby with white branches and white gum nuts - think they are called Silver Princess, and must have been planted here. Our thanks to Harrowang.

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 39.3 feet or 12 meters.

Having recently adopted this cache we thought we would check on the co-ords as numerous logs mentioned they were out somewhat.

Hope this helps those who have posted a DNF in the past.


We have also replaced the cache container with a more waterproof one.

Decided to head this way for a couple of purpledreamers caches. Even though this was wide open space with blue skies the GPS was getting me nowhere closer than 5mt. With only a wide expanse of grass, a power pole and a fence with long grass next to it I decided to not waste time here but head on home. Another day perhaps.

Found easily once I followed the GPS. Some nice little views from around here too.

Pending further guidance from family, this geocache listing has been temporarily disabled by Groundspeak.

A quick drive by was easily found on a days outing in Wang to pick up some unfinished caches.

So I was out and about at large caching with Slink! TFTC SL (catching up on logs)

Found with Dunko and combust4 while in the area TFTC SL

Found with Slink1 on a day in Wang. TFTC SL Agree with the last log that bag is wet and great bug home!

Found it. The cache bag was open and some bugs were making it a home. I gave it a bit of a clean up, log book was fine, but swaps were a bit dirty.

After a few DNFs we were happy to find this easy. Thanks purple dreamer lovely spot and great views. Found on today at 11.40

Only 3m out for us. Could not see from road. Last time i was here gps was way out. Clue: its not in the trees area. Tftc

We went for a drive without the teenager! Bliss!
We found lots of caches, as well - even better!

Thanks, purpledreamer!

Out for a long weekend caching run down to Wangaratta with Just a cacher and the hound.

Day 1 of the Wangaratta cache blitz. A quick park and grab on the trail around Wangaratta.

Thanks for the cache Purple Dreamer and the views.

Another quick driveby in these parts. The numbers are really starting to rack up now!

Cheers

Good quick find, so more time to enjoy the spectacular views on this very clear but cold day! We didn't quit understand the title, but wo bothers?

Good easy find

we looked all around the area and had no luck with 4 people!

Found it No. 4880 ... was not where we thought ... TN and left Chinese Coins ... TFTC purpledreamer

Got this one during lunch. Beautiful view from up here. I have a friend that lives in the area and the view in winter on clear blue-bird days are something to behold. TFTC purpledreamer.

HUM! Although the walk was nice we certainly need to not try to take a better route or just stay on the track! SL TNLN T4TC

Great view from up here, all the trees for miles hide Wangaratta. You only really see the water tower... TFTC

beauitful day today for us to enjoyed around Wangaratta Town, easy to find as hide very well thanks

A quick grab this morning. A lot of the roads around here are having emergency repair work, but we got the cache OK today.
Thanks, Robmc.

A lovely day for a tour of the Warby's this morning. This was the only driveby that we did.
I checked one other nearby spot before seeing the telltale purple container.
Thanks

6th on a days raid in the Warbys with Big Ez.

Was almost glad this was a drive by as the legs were a bit tired from the walks and rides in the hills earlier. Good views for such an easy spot to get to. Took some scratching around before it was finally located by Big Ez.

TNLN, TFTC, Cheers.

Found after cycling around the Warbys on a day out with DazRascal.Great views and found after looking in the usual places.
TFTC Purpledreamer!! now off to visit your box!

#2439. Continued onto this cache from the Baby Waterfall. It took a little bit of looking but we soon spotted a glint of purple. There is some nice views from this location, thanks again PD

Found this one quick but good view here I like this one

A nice and humid day to do caching today before we move to Geelong tomorrow...took a while before Ms Bushies2 found it. Thanks purpledreamer.

Haven't been up this road for at least 100 years, or so it seems. I do remember cutting hay up here when my Dad was a hay contractor and I was still at school so it was a long time ago.
Nice to be back. Thanks Fran

Dipping Personal TB

No.2 find whilst taking the two grandchildren out to find a few 'treasures'. Isaac (aka Cicada) soon spotted this one - it's the purple containers you know! Found and logged at 10.30am. Took: dice and thong keyring Left: lots of new swaps for the next finders. TF another great cache purpledreamer. We pointed out the views to the 8 & 4 year olds but they were much more interested in what was in the treasure box!

One of 7 for the day on a quick hour of caching in the Wangaratta area. Wife had the baby this morning, and i made it to the hospital ok, so after all the business was done, i decided to celebrate with a few caches before heading home.

Last for the day, nice drive out beside the Warby Ranges, and a short hunt needed before the cache was located. TFTC.

A Neat little find on the weekend of the Wang spring event.
Many thanks PD for the cache.

What a peaceful spot to end a days caching. The sun had almost set and the cape weed had closed for night. Unfortunately today the satellites had the GZ on private property, 11m south of where we found the cache! Accuracy is really important when a cache is placed close to private property - perhaps the CO might like to check the co-ords.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt purpledreamer.

Forgot to log my FTF which is not a good thing anyway found it and what a good spot was on the chase as a few new ones had popped up SL TNLN TFTC!!!

Missed out on the FTF on this one, since I'd had to return home for dinner. I knew I'd missed out when I saw fresh tyre tracks in the grass!
