Haven't cached for quite a while, but a business road trip to Mildura gave a prime opportunity for getting back into it a little bit.
This was the first find of the trip - A quick detour off the road, park and grab. Nice tidy cache and a good start for the day.

Easy cache find. Once I crossed the river in the gutters after the heavy rainfall. Everything inside was all in good order.. Thanks for the cache!
A leap of faith to find this one! all in order signed the log and returned where found. TFTC, found it with TroyfindZ.
One could say this cache was stuffed!! in a nice way. The hide had perfect co ords which meant a quick grab and go. TFTH
Cool cache hidden here. Packed to the brim so obviously well visited. The dog nearby wasn’t too keen on my visit though. TFTC. A favorite point given.
In town for just one arvo working with the local Vicses unit.
So only time for a few caches, very cool hide.
Cheers for the cache

This type of cache is easy to find if you’ve seen this sort of thing before and this one was one of the largest of its type. It was easily retrieved but may have gone back a bit wonky. I hope the next finders will be able to jiggle it out somehow.
I’ve met Team Crackers and done several of their caches. They are a great team, thoroughly worthy of being considered Geocaching heroes. I was lucky enough to be able to access the cache without the use of my Walking Pole.

On my way to the 10 month till St Arnaud event and as I was coming through Marong I picked up the caches in the area.
I love these caches that are dedicated to teams that I have had the pleasure of meeting.
Thanks the old blokes TFTC

Found during a Clarmensma Family trip to Cobram/Barooga for the holidays. Sorry for the late logging! TFTC
A great tribute to a deserving team and our last for the day.
Our regular school holiday Team Clarmensma overnight trip is upon us again, this time heading north to Cobram, Barooga area. With both days over 40, we broke up our caching with lots of swimming, frozen cokes and icy poles.
A really fun day had tripping around. TFTC

A lovely tribute to a wonderful caching team.
School holidays meant it was time for Team Clarmensma to reform. This consisted of myself; becca85 and our 4 geokids (AdamSistema, LukeSistema, neisha07, boo09). This time we hit the Murray and cached our way from Ballarat/Maryborough to Cobram/Barooga (where we stayed the night) and then back through Tocumwal, Numurkah, Shepparton and Bendigo. We had a fabulous couple of days in VERY hot weather so stopped for lots of swims and water fun. Many thanks for the cache. Very much appreciate you placing for us to find.

Whilst on my way to a excursion at Melville Caves with time to spare I thought what better way to fill in the time then to do some caching. I appreciated how convenient this series was. TFTC

Team Crackers are my heroes too! A quick find after following the geotrail today. Thanks the old blokes.
On my way to Swan Hill for work. I was looking for a quick park and grab just like this one. It was also nice to find this one as Team Crackers were the cache owner of the first cache I found so pleases to see this cache in their honor TFTC
This clever hide got a surface spray as well...tidied it up a bit cos the old log was just stuffed in there. Took colorful little eraser and left a red nose token. TYFTC
On our way to Mildura for the weekend we just had to call into a Team Crackers hide. Good easy hide and perfect for a traveller. Thanks for the cache
On my way home from an enjoyable long weekend staying at the old family home in Tarnagulla and decided to take the long way home and gather some caches along the way.
A surprisingly busy little dirt road here, I wondered where they were all going and they probably wondered why I had stopped. Thanks for the cache old blokes.

We're out for a drive and to grab some geocaches. Heading from Maryborough to Bridgewater to have a pie and maybe a swim. We're using geocaching as our inspiration to tour some historic sites. Thanks
YAY.....I love Team Crackers!!!
I met them in May 2016 when I came over from Adelaide on a 'boys' caching trip with Freddo, FourFun and Team Waldron. What a wonderful decision coming on this trip was for me and how different my life has been since our paths crossed
Diane and Mark are so warm, friendly, generous, fun, considerate, inclusive, really smart and two of the nicest people I have ever met. I even had my fist Captain's with them and realised that I quite like straight rum!!!
Some stand out moments include:
"...You look ravishing my little radish..."; A plague of mice (there was more than 1!!); staying at their house countless times; the riotous laughter; Di and I getting propositioned on channel 15 in Alexandra; "G1 & G2"; them noticing me bringing out the crazy fun in people - eg. jiggly bits etc. etc.

Found at 11:32 AM GAFF1.
We have known Team Crackers for 13 years - nearly to the day as it happens! Our very first cache find was their "I See Elephants" https://coord.info/GCH6BG in December 2003, which has an amusing/embarrassing newbie story all of its own [:o)]
We have since been on many caching adventures together with our "gang" and always look forward to catching up with them at caching events and private parties. They have been good for the game

Heading to St Arnaud for the weekend and grabbing a few along the way. Had to stop off to grab this one, cause we think they are some real heroes. We always enjoy catching up with them and their fireworks. A quick find.
Thanks the old blokes for placing the cache for us to find.

Caching in the Bendigo area for a couple of days and decided to do a loop out this way. This one was on our list and an easy find when we reached GZ, loved the extra effort. TFTC
On way to Swan Hill for a funeral, so had to break up the drive, with a few caches, this was one of the side road stops which had a cache, Thanks to the old blokes, because if it werent for us, there wouldn't be any young blokes

On a weekend adventure road trip with FREEDOM33 to visit some LGAs and UBDs.
This was our first for the day. A great spot to stop and stretch the legs. GPSr was a little bit all over the place at first, but soon settled to bring me to a likely spot. Then spotted something unusual. Yep! That's it.
Cheers

Find No. 1808. Found at 12.50pm.
On a caching expedition in our geoute with geodog Penny on board. Our aim is to find 25 + finds so that we can get 100 finds for the month.
Making our way down the Calder Highway, stopping off to grab the ones along the way we haven't got. After doing the 'Our Heroes' caches we discovered we had missed a couple so had to backtrack a bit to get them. Afterall we needed every cache we could find today to get to our tally and DNF's don't help. Now back on the highway and to do the last of the 'Our Heroes' caches.
Another tricky hide by the old blokes but we found it.

Braved the channel to make my way to this well-hidden cache. Found on my way home from Melbourne. Cache #2513.
Walked out from Marong to find this cache. Had to find the right place to leap over the water filled gulley. Nice to see the creeks with water, they have been dry for so long. Look forward to doing more of this series. TFTC
Again, Siara was shocked with the creativity of the hide! Lovely spot! Tftc. By Siara and Alicia
