Unfortunately, I won't be down for some time, so archiving it. Sad to see another one go.

Needs a new container ASAP.
 
23-Jun-16
A quick and easy find as we cache our way around the area for a couple of days. We didn't have a spare container on board for a replacement, but at least we had some gaffer tape to reseal the broken unit. Whoever does this cache next definitely needs to have one of these 2 items on board. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Cache was smashed and out on a log. Looks like some trees have come done. Patched the container with gaffa, but it needs a new container.

Found by Geo-wife. Killing time before I finished work in CCobram Geo-wife decided to add to our cache count and find a few because whats a trip without any caches. This was extremely easy to find and was very saturated as it had poured rain the previous day. Container itself is in no good condition.

Log signed and replaced.

We found this one quickly, with no flies around! The log was wet so we placed it above ground for a bit to dry out and not collect any more water. Thanks for the hide.

Find #: 4008
Time: 3:01 pm
Date: Fri 21 Aug 2015
Road trip north to attend the Wodonga event on Saturday.
Drove to Yarrawonga to stay Friday night. Found a few on the way.
This was number 5 of 8 for the day.
The hide is not consistent with the hint, but it's an easy find if you take that into account.
The log was dry, but the cache container was half full of water.
I dried it out and it should be okay, make sure it's kept horizontal.
Thanks for placing this cache Blacklegend

Victorian Murray River region caching weekend 2015. This was a DNF last year, but today my GPS took me further away from the distraction and there is was. A bit exposed really, but I am glad to have found it now.

Thanks.

Easy find right out in the open, actually a bit too easy, not sure it was really supposed to be there but signed and left it but covered a bit more thoroughly.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Making our way south to Melbourne now, it's amazing seeing all the other travellers heading north! Are we heading the wrong way Surprised

Currently staying at Apex Beach we headed out today to see what the surrounding areas have to offer!

Geocaching takes us to some amazing places and your cache certainly helped with that.

This is one of the caches we found while out on another glorious day amongst the magnificent ancient, River Reds - our last in the area for a little while. We have definitely bookmarked this border area for a return visit, sooner rather than later.

[u]Feedback to CO[/u]: Hint is not relevant to where we found the cache - maybe cache location needs checking or remove the hint.

Our thanks to Blacklegend for bringing us here.

No traffic, no flies.............and no cache.

Looked and looked, but nothing going. Now that I'm logging, I think I've missed something about the hide.......oh well.......maybe next time.

Thanks anyway Blacklegend......

I was in this area today to try to find two caches that have eluded me. This time I was successful. No wonder I couldn't find it last time. I was in the wrong place! I was very, very pleased to get it. LNTN.
 
14-Dec-14
No pen but found cache in its unusual spot!
 
11-Dec-14
Drove to Cobram to do some sightseeing, and pick up a few caches while in the area.
We found a variety of caches, and cache hides. This cache was located, after a short search.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Blacklegend, for us and others to find.

I had a long weekend planned to visit the Victorian border region for a bit of caching. I had a great time and managed to get to many caches over the time I was away. Things got a bit hot which slowed me down, but I was happy to see so many great places and hides. That was two roadside caches in a row I was not able to find. My excuse is it was hot. Thanks.

Out for a drive in the area with geofamily, while camping nearby. Yes the flies where bad today, therefore number 1 son, was letting the rest of the team do the finding on this one. It was a quick enough find. Thanks Blacklegend.
 
29-Mar-14
The flies were not too bad today Smile
They are worse in other areas of the state Wink

But it does only take one fly doesn't it ?

Thankfully only a short search, but the cache was not where the clue seemed to suggest [:o]

3rd last of the day after a day round Toc and surrounds with bogonghazy. Cache was quickly found and logged in the dark, on our way back to Yarrawonga and a pub meal. All this caching has made me hungry today.
 
17-Aug-13
haha, what a great name for a cache.
Quick find again on Sully and my return to yarra tonight.
Thanks again Marshy
 
26-May-13
Didn't have any trouble with flies today, just with finding the cache. The clue actually put us off rather than helped in the search but we eventually found it when the GPSr settled and got us closer to GZ.

2397 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1720 on our weekend in Tocumwal to find a couple of caches. Plenty of the little black insects today after a little rain. The grass is still a bit damp in the shaded places. SL Tnx Blacklegend.

I really need to look more carefully at where the caches are I want to find, I've spent the last few hours back tracking between caches so I've wasted valuable daylight. SL took small plastic leopard left the rubber eye ball. TFTC

Today is our last day of caching in this area, we are heading from Tocumwal to Cobram & return.
No flies, only a cache.
Thanks Blacklegend

1828th cache found by WazzaAndWenches. Log signed at 08:46Hrs.

A crappy nights sleep and little chance of the wenches waking early enough meant I headed to Cobram before sun up for a half day of caching.

Cool and windy meant the flies were quite tolerable today and the cache was found quickly.

Thank you Blacklegend.

We had a family reunion weekend up at Cobram.
The weather was really hot but we managed to sneak off and find a few caches during the weekend.
Fantastic fun and great to see some different landscapes than we are used to.
Thanks to all who hid caches for us to find.

Found with Mum & Dad during a family reunion weekend up at Cobram.
The weather was really hot but I was really good and helped look for the caches.
It was fun to get over the border and thanks to everyone who hid them for us to find.

No problem with the flies here today, just the traffic! The roadworks a little up the road was at least creating regular breaks.
 
14-Oct-12
No flies on me mate Big Grin
Was almost dark so that could have been the reason.

A quick one but a great little hide. No flies on me today TFTC

I heard one fly buzzing, maybe summer is on its way!!

#2939 We probably timed it right 'cos there were no flies on us today! The GeoPrincess was ravenous so we took the opportunity to grab lunch and feed the bottomless pit in the back seat. So it was just Dad & the Queen on the hunt for this one. Took ages for the GPS to settle so we ended up putting them away and doing the old fashioned way. Thanks for the cache BL

With the Transit of Venus today, I was heading north for the prospect of perfect weather for the event. I initially had no real plans of where to stop the night, but while chatting to Blacklegend on the way I eventually ended up travelling all the way to Tocumwal and crashing on the couch at his place for the night, after a few UDL's of course.
I was passing by this cache while heading into Toc after going through Barooga, so it was only natural to stop and pick it up. It took a lot longer than I wanted but I finally found the cache in its hiding spot. Not a fly in sight at 1:30 am and 5 degrees.
Thanks BL.

Not such a warm day today, so the flies weren't too bad. Just as well as it took a little while to find.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 551. Found on a day touring with Robmc, Chewinprickles and Purpledreamer. Robmc and I had a bit of a search here before finding GZ. My GPS was reading some 13m out, but we did manage to find it. All signed and away again towards Albury. Thanks BL
 
26-May-12
Flies not so bad since it was a cold winter, oops autumn day. We did gather a couple of hitchhiker flies though which we took along until we could coax them out the windows.
Thanks again Blacklegend. Would have liked to continue to Toc but were out of time by now.
Will be back!

#645 on day 175 of continuous caching after a small day yesterday this was set to be a bigger day after going to Yarrawonga MacDonald and finding their WiFi to be a little lacking I asked one of the employees there and he told me about a Laundromat that had a WiFi hot spot so off i went and collected a few more geocaches for the gps and started to work my way toward the days goal of at least 50 and yes I got there and added 1 for good measure.

47 of 51 for the day and this was my biggest day yet. The flies are bad well they were average for this country we call home and no worse that they are anywhere else but the cache was great it allowed me an easy find and added nicely to the days talley.

Thanks for the flies Blacklegend.

This cache was one of the many grabbed on my 4 day trip to the OzMega Event. We arrived on Friday at midday and left at Midday on Monday and cached between when we where not socializing with other teams. This trip was also a shakedown for a new tent trailer we had purchased for camping. Besides the bike rack breaking on my trailer on the way up it all went well. PT539 also got a similar trailer to mine. He had trouble with his water tank.

This cache was one of 14 *FTF* we blitzed while at the mega event. As soon as the alert came in I started to make my way towards toc. A quick call to Spladem and he was on the way, to I made a quick detour to pick him up and keep going. Well over an hour later we arrived at the first of 14.

This cache was quickly found in a obvious spot before heading of to the next. TFTC
