Hi gregandjudi, I found Strathallan School today.

Many thanks gregandjudi for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

What a beautiful large school ground in such a lovely area. Thanks for the interesting history of the school. I replaced the old filled log. Thanks for the cache

In a spider haven!

Very cool spot and beautiful seeing the local history. Will need a new log soon as there's only one spot left and we didn't have paper small enough to replace it.

Tftc

Great spot

A nice easy find but this cache came with a large grumpy redback which was fun. Log only has three more spaces on it too.

Taking the scenic back way into Echuca. Easy find but had to dodge the spider egg sacks. Thanks.

Tftc gregandjudi, certainly getting windy now, very out of the way spot.
Cache in great condition

Find # 9961

Making the most of Holidays and being able to travel. I decided on a 4 day trip that seen me head up to Swan Hill then down via Lake Boga, Kerang, Koondrook, Cohuna, Leitchville, Mt Terrick Terrick NP, Corop, Colbinabbim Rushworth, Whroo and finally Nagambie (then back home to St.Arnaud). Lots of back tracks taken and lots of dust to clean out of the ute. It was over 1250km travelled and flying solo on this trip I had lots of fun finding the caches.

I took a couple more wedges out of my 360Deg “finds from home” map and ticked off a couple of caches that I have heard about that were on my “to find” list.

There was a huge Variety of caches found from bird boxes to Fridges, Wall mountable tool boxes to Eclipse tins, with the odd ammo can thrown in. A couple of head scratching gadget caches chewed up some time but will be memorable for time to come. Numerous puzzles that I had solved i managed to find and I even managed to make good on a couple of DNFs, and add some more DNFs to my list. Even though I was out on my own I still had to use a couple of PAFs to get by. Thanks guys.

Dalerious and I just had to visit this cache as it is one of those ones where you think to yourself, gee when am I going to call past here again. Thanks to gregandjudi for providing and maintaining this cache

1st day out with catnap777 after Victoria's 5th lockdown, and being free to find this old school series cache felt like we had just been let out of detention to start school holidays.

TFTC gregandjudi.
The cache was found clean and dry with a log that still has plenty of room for more signatures.

It wasn't far off the track as I was heading to Mildura. It's interesting to read the history of these old schools. I found the cache in good condition.
Thanks gregandjudi

Found on our way back from a day trip to bendigo. Quick stop and an easy find with the geokids and a muggle friend.

Heading tongala and the GPS told us to stop. A quick find by sneakygeokids. Thanks For The Cache

Found with PP7 on a tour of the silos! Tftc ️

Ready to be found

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to gregandjudi for placing the cache for us to find.

TTFC
had a weekend away to catch up with Ghihash so we started with Bendigo hitting the alphabet series for what my car would slow us to get into (after recent heavy rains) and the following day rectified a DNF in Rochester (with some assistance from locus cache) on our way to Echuca to hit the TTT series and get our first interstate caches
Interesting information

Found with k9team on a geo trip from bendigo to echuca

??

I log this cache as found a couple of months back but didn't really find it then I got this school cache another school cache in the same area. so today I came here to fix that and found this quickly. TFTC.

9382 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 0955. After a pleasant night by the river in Rochester, it was time to continue our wanderings home. We are travelling the road less travelled today and new country for us. In good condition. SL Tnx gregandjudi

Found on my last geocaching run in the Elmore region. The I was attending ends today and I'll be leaving tomorrow. This was an easy find. TFTC.

While Ms FV has a commitment in the area, I have taken the opportunity to get some smiley faces.

Found by mon and des

Tftc and many greetings from Germany

thank you!

Great hide. Found with lokkisomerville and orion60.TFTC

A good excuse to follow the back roads today
Out here I found the 90 year olde Stathallan Hall still standing !! [:o]
The skool is just commemorated by a nearby plaque.

A quick cache find

Happy

Rex and I headed out for a day's caching with the intention of finding a cache in Leitchville that I had previously DNFd at least twice and we had a pretty good day with just the two of us making 15 finds and only 2 DNFs at the last 2 cache hunts for the day.
Although the trip did involve a policeman and it was ONLY 8.30pm when he stopped to take my details in Cohuna as I searched for a cache near the CFA He didn't even mention the spider web of duct tape that covered the cardboard over Harry's still shattered rear canopy window!

As I have been about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

I love the bush sights in Victoria [^] and the history and stories of the determination of the pioneers. [^]

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###

----------

This cache is carrying a maintenance log which needs to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make regular visits to check on the cache as well as address logs indicating some attention is required. This applies to maintenance of the cache page just as much as it does the physical cache.

**Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days. Otherwise it will become necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing.**

Simple

We're heading south again with our caravan after visiting friends in Queensland. A good stop with easy parking for a long vehicle. Thanks

Found with Cardiackelli

Quick easy find. Learning more about the area!
TFTC!

Tftc. Signed log.

Found during a weeks holiday up at Greens lake, TFTC

- This cache appears to be in need of owner attention. The size of the cache we found does not reflect "Small" as indicated on the cache page - needs correction please.

- We were able to leave a very temporary log, future seekers would appreciate a fresh log please.

08:36
Monday, first day of the working week - out and about to the south east of Echuca in the very good company of Suscoe. With a couple of ex teachers on board - old school sites are alays interesting.

Thanks gregandjudi for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Mrs. Suscoe headed out today with the good folks of the Phetlern team for a day's caching south of Echuca. Mr. S decided to have a day back at our accommodation to take things quietly.
It was a beaut Spring day with loads of sunshine, a gentle wind and some clouds from time to time.
It was a really good day with great company and lots of fun on the way around this area.
Beaut countryside with green paddocks and happy looking cows and sheep.

Thanks to gregandjudi for showing us another interesting spot.

Kids loved the hunt good hinde

TFTC. Very quiet spot in the middle of no where.

Cold day but some caching was in order. TFTC. 300th find.

Sneaky little quick find today!! Nice day for geocaching too!

Nice cache on the way to rochy. Log book needs replacing!

Found at 2.15pm, a short side trip on our way home.
There was a working bee on at the nearby hall, but it didn't stop our find. We gave a friendly wave to one of the men.
Good to see this piece of history hasn't been lost.
Thanks
K&M

Nice little find. Log is wet & also full. We didn't have any spare to replace. TFTC

After a night of rain, we had plenty of water to wade through.

Last one of a big couple of days caching in the Echuca area tftc

Thanks for binging us here on the way to Echuca.
The log is full.

A very easy find at this site today, unlike the last cache that I looked for!

3rd find for the day in the very lovely but currently dry area of Strathallan

Log replaced.
TB dip

Found by Team Ladava in transit home from Echuca to Sunbury after a short break.
A nice little piece of history
I wonder how many hundreds of school sites are scattered throughout the country as farming becomes more broad-acre and families move to town.
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us anonymously to their favourite spots.

Our thanks to gregandjudi for the cache and bringing us to this location.

*Overall Experience: 3*
Cache condition - fine

Rated: for Overall Experience

Needs Maintenance log book is full thank you for bringing us to these former school sites LS

Nice quick find while staying in Echuca.TFTC

Drove down another dusty road to a quick find. Wasn't impressed here with the muggle who came roaring past coating us in even more dust. Inconsiderate moron!
Probably been said before but the log is full. Managed to squeeze my name in sidweways. Thanks.

Sorry we did not have a new log with us today as the log is full.

Sad to see these areas slowly going back to just a paddock, I don't think our Government's realize that our country needs all these little areas alive or all we will have is big ugly capital cities and no food or industry left, it will all have to be imported. TFTC

A nice easy find Today

Quick find for me today - TFTC!

Found at 3:18 PM GAFF1.
That wasn't the best decision to travel along the Rochester Rd after a heavy downpour [B)] The van got nicely covered in mud and the back of the new vehicle took on a new shade of brown.
Thanks gregandjudi.

Found on a beautiful day for caching in Echuca. Have enjoyed our few days here but back to Melbourne and then on the boat back to reality tomorrow night. TFTC

Down a dirt path :p just the way i like my caches

Another nice history about school - Thanks shared with me. Thanks gregandjudi

On a caching run around the area and now travelling from Echuca tgo Bendigo. Arrived at GZ and soon had the cache in hand. No problems and cache was soon signed.
