Day 2 of my road trip through the south west of Victoria... Colac to Warrnambool... with plans to find lots of caches along the way to help with a collection of different challenges I am working on... and generally have a great time!

Warrnambool at last... but my caching day was far from over. My target while I was here was to find at least 12 caches withing the City of Warrnambool to tick off one more LGA for the *12 Circuits of Victoria Challenge*. Wanting to get as many Smile's as possible before dinner, I was concentrating on caches in this corner of town.

Thanks **Kia1** for this cache and highlighting a little piece of Warrnambool's history that would otherwise be missed by many visitors.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to Kia1 for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

I found this cache on a caching adventure out west by myself. Testing out the new van to see how it goes as a camper.

Today I would start at Sawpit Free campground, where I camped last night and drive home via Warrnambool.

Found the cache easily, thanks to a nice hint. On replacing it, the attachment felt loose. The cache was attached, but the attachment didn’t feel strong. I took it off and tried again a few times but it kinda felt it was just sitting there.
 
30-Mar-22
Container has been replaced, please place back on VELCRO.
 
04-Feb-22
Claiming a find, Found the velcro glued to the timber exactly as the hint indicated. However no cache container or a log to sign, No sign of cache under the steps.
 
04-Feb-22
Gone missing, needs to be looked at
 
24-Jan-22
Last day in Warrnambool and still continuing our tradition of my wife off on a long 10+ km run, I took off caching. Today was to aim for some high favourite pointed caches and then Hopkins River.

Had a lovely walk from Point Richie reading about the history of Geanny when I couldn't see the view. The only people here went past just as I arrived and I was then able to see the cache after looking in a few places. Signed it at 7.40 am.

Thanks for the cache Kia 1

Took a while to find (even with the hint) but eventually located the hide. We’ve been on holiday to the area several times and have always intended to visit Granny’s Grave but have kept putting it off until today. Lovely views for a final resting place. TFTC

Coords were spot on and had cache I'm hand quick enough. From the lid I could tell it was supposed to be sticking to something but wasn't the case when I arrived. Logged and placed back where I found it. TFTC

A quick find by Beavar, as the rest of the party finally caught up. SL at 1.54pm We stayed for a while to watch for whales and we were finally rewarded with sightings of a mother and baby. There were a small party of other excited watchers joining us for about 1/2 an hour. So glad we finally saw a whale or two this visit. #8107 TFTC Kia1

Lovely walk on the path. Pity there were no whales to spot. Took the TB with us to go east. TFTC.
