The weather has played a big part in exposing the hiding place, so sorry its been archived.

DNF might need replacing

Staying up here at Yarrawonga for a mini holiday,
We took a trip to the big strawberry , the highlight of the hour.
I wish I looked at the DNF first, with wet feet and a grumpy muggle family, a bare winter reserve there was no where to really hide a cache here, I believe it is gone [:x]

We didn't find it either. Looked for half an hour. Nice day but no luck

We looked for about 20 mins and no luck. Our eyes must be painted on.

A short stroll on a lovely day and a quick and easy walk by while we were in the area. A great way to start our caching day. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Stopped in at the Big Strawberry for some picking and lunch. Delighted to find this cache with the Geokids. A nice walk and easy enough to find. TFTC.

A warm sunny day and not many muggles around today.

Lovely little park and enjoyed the stroll whilst the family visited The Big Strawberry. TFTC

It is a great walk and a very big dip to find it

Something for everyone this morning...
1. Strawberry picking for the kids

TFTC. Signed and returned.
Beautiful ice cream close by.

After visiting the big strawberry for look around and an ice cream I ducked out to brave the heat and flies and made my way to the gz to make a quick find, thanks micheena for the cache and showing me around this lovely little area.

A nice stroll and easy find. TNLN SL TFTC

On a road trip to the Melbourne mega with Dutchie1950. Morning tea here after a good walk. TFTC

# 1082 11:05 - On the road again with Triciac2 on our way to the Melbourne Mega.

A nice stroll to the general area of the cache. At the 'general area' which appeared not to be GZ I spotted it when I accidentally looked in the right direction.

We parked as suggested and then went for an enjoyable stroll. The walk along the path so much better then having to trudge through the grass where the seeds go right through your clothes and feel like needles.
The next huge mistake was to go into the strawberry place. Their food is YUM YUM YUM, we bought strawberries and cherries to take away but had coffee and cake there, so good. SL TFTC

Yay nice walk

Caching while we travel to Cobar to visit hubby on his swing off on the school holidays. He had taken a photo of the nearby tourist attraction. Wasn't planning to do cache but thought a leg stretch wouldn't hurt as were were travelling 572km today. TFTC

We did enjoy our walk to find this cache on this cool sunny morning - lovely reserve. Good hiding spot for the cache that was in good condition.
TFTC micheena and bringing us here to enjoy the walk and area - much appreciated.

Found on a days caching whilst visiting my mum in Mulwala. Two FTF opportunities in Jerilderee saw me heading along this road. Park close by and walked in. Of course, at the T intersection I chose the incorrect path, but soon realized my mistake. A bit of a tip toe through some long grass along a channel bank and I was at GZ and had the cache in hand easily afterwards. Nice spot, one of those places I have driven past many times and never knew it existed. Thanks to geocaching and micheena, now I do!

Found it with elledee08

Mr Beetle waited in the van while I wandered off to find this cache. At GZ I was decoyed for a while by a pile of stacked sticks but as I was moving them in expectation of finding a cache container underneath I spotted the real thing nearby. Thanks, a short, peaceful flat walk with a smiley at the end. What more could I ask for!

Easy find!

A beautiful little nature walk with a quick find by Prin666cess

In the area for a few days catching up with family. It is a great opportunity to grab a few caches. Enjoyed making a taste test of the goods nearby.
Thanks micheena for placing & maintaining these cache for us to find.

Been up here on a birding trip and mooching around in between times checking out the birding and the neighbourhood, now I'm procrastinating about heading home, maybe I can just squeeze in one or two more finds...! Thanks for this one

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

Moving today so caching towards Merrigum with the caravan on tow, doesn't make for easy caching. (not to mention the cat who hates travelling in the car, and stop/start makes it worse )

Still we managed to make a dozen stops on our way today.

What a lovely walking area. Parked at the Big Strawberry and walked up.

TFTC and feeding our Geocaching GEOaddiction micheena

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck Norris?

Found between showers. Left green 'sharpie'. TFTC

On way to Brisbane for few days to celebrate my friend turns to 60th Birthday
Great to have stretch legs to walk approx 150 mts
Found it
Thanks micheena

To Sepp, Term1 hols

Found with Zobo04 on our way home from The Mega in QLD. Morning tea at nearby location and our first of 4 caches for the day due to needing to get home by 4 and running out of time, we could only do a few today. Coords had us near a tree but when I turned around I spotted cache nearby. TFTC

Found with Gonefishen07 on our way home from the mega. Stopped for a cuppa and a look around oh and a cache. TFTC

Not hard to find but a pleasant walk

Not hard to find but a pleasant walk

Easy find. Lovely walk to stretch our legs.

Found by Mary & David at 1210. Thank goodness you put a cache here, otherwise we might not have stopped. More great facts, figures and information here too. D went caching while M went inside to check out the strawberry products. Able to taste and buy some strawberry liqueur to share with some friends around a campfire. Our thanks to micheena.

TFTC. Pleasant little walk for a quick find. Big Strawberry beckoned for some strawberries and a jar of melon and ginger spread.

On the way to Ulupna island we stopped for some fast cache along the road and this was one of them. Thanks to the owner for the cache

Andando ad Ulupna island ci siamo fermati a cercare qualche cache lungo la strada e questa è una di quelle che abbiamo recuperato. Una piccola parentesi su Ulupna island. Questo luogo si trova nel barmah national park ed è raggiungibile percorrendo delle strade sterrate. Una volta arrivati si può lasciare la macchina e fare una passeggiata nel bush alla ricerca di koala. Noi siamo stati fortunati e in poche centinaia di metri siamo riusciti ad avvistarne 8. Peccato non aver portato il costume per fare il bagno e non aver saputo prima che in quest'area è possibile campeggiare. Grazie all'owner

Jacopo e Lisa

I need to walk faster, while I was finding this, she was in the shop spending up, however the mocca liqueur is not too bad! Tftc

Back on the hunt today for some smileys and a look at the strawberry farm. Tftc

#1454 The geohounds were loving today's caching run as they got to get out of the geojeep and explore and sniff a few sites on quite a number of occasions. Once we made our way to gz for this one we thought good chance it's there, and to our delight it was! (That doesn't happen too often...) Thanks micheena for bringing us here.

Yay. After the last few misses good to find this one. There was a geo coin in the cache PCKT9A. We grabbed this although it is not listed in rhe inventory. Left spiderman mini frisbee. Tooj minj soldier. Will need a new log soon.

Took young geocachers on a trip today.
Nice stroll

Nice short walk and an easy find. TFTC

My first Victorian geocache.
HannahBandana actually signed the log
Thanks for the cache.

Found the Big Strawberry early this morning. Thinking about it I am sure the smiley would have been bigger with a plate of strawberries and ice cream. But that will happen another day. TFTC

Nice day for caching !
Last day of 2014 happy new year!!

Quick and easy

A nice stroll through the area, I disturbed a little bunny enjoying the shade. I was surprised it was not closer to its namesake. However after a warm stroll I'd built up a thirst and a hankering for a strawberry icecream so off to the Big Strawberry I went, slaked my thirst and indulged in a beautiful icecream. It's caches like this with a happy ending that I like to find

We enjoyed the walk in a lovely place. It was good to stretch our legs after a long walk. TFTC

Nice easy grab with Jen.den and a nice walk through the reserve

Ostara74 and I were heading home after a great long weekend with a bunch of awesome friends at the 2014 Deni Ute Muster. This was Ostara74's first ute muster - and bit of an Australian cultural shock experience for her! However, we all had a lot of fun and came away relatively unscathed. We decided to take the more scenic route home and find some caches along the way. We also discovered some fantastic local produce during the trip which was a wonderful bonus. This was cache find number 6 of 7 for the day. Thanks for the cache, micheena.

Found together with Pathfinder24 on a sunny day.
On our way back home from Deni, after a great time at the Ute Muster, we made a few stops for sightseeing and caching. We stopped for lunch at the Big Strawberry and also got some yummy products with us before we went to look for the nearby cache. The cache was quickly located and we got the log signed before we were on our way again.
Thanks for the cache micheena!

Nice little walk
Through the nature reserve

Found it!!!

Absolutely stunning place to take time out from the highways.
Thank you for the walk.

What a wonderful walk, picnic table, birds, natural bushland. Thank you geodaughter. Finished off our hunting here with strawberry pancakes...yum! what an inspirational township

Nice little walk with no muggles. The geokids started going bush but no need. The co ordinates were a little out but it didn't take geomum very long. Thanks for the nice relaxing walk to break up a big drive.

Found today with Princess and Suzie.

The coordinates were spot on for me because I had left my GPS at home and was using my iphone that I have never relied on. I enjoyed my walk in the park but seem to be doing everything the hard way today and entered from the road at the rear of the Strawberry. One saving grace for today's venture were my rubber boots - thank goodness.

Murray July 2014. A long weekend trip down to the Murray to explore and get some great caching dome. I was able to visit some great spots and get some very interesting caches on this trip. Thanks.

Co ords where a big out but could see the cache from gz.

Coordinates are a bit out.. So don't look in the exact spot of them...
About 8-10 meters out!

Our road trip home from Melbourne brought us to the Big Strawberry where we had a much needed pit stop ... and a hunt for a cache. The find was an easy one ... indeed, from some angles the cache is clearly visible from some distance. That said, this is a really good "stop, revive, survive" cache.

On a road trip home from Melbourne with Opa-Bob and the geokids...boy, this place is popular - packed out for Saturday lunch, but at least that kept the muggles busy and away from GZ. Cache was found easily in the expected spot. Thanks for bringing us here - we wouldn't have known about the Big Strawberry otherwise...ain't geocaching grand?

Easy one cheers!

Found 29-6-2014 at 1205hrs, with friendly muggle Bill. At the big Strawberry for lunch with friends, TNLNSL TFTC.

Found it despite the rain that was happening at the time.

Great place

Great place

Straight onto it

Left a universal studios token

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Travel through Koonoomoo every 2 weeks, finally decided to stop and look for the cache. Found it quickly but was a lot of fun. TFTC

Another quick easy find. Could do with a bit more camouflaging as it could easily be muggled. Thanks for bringing us here as we then went next door and enjoyed a strawberry thick shake. TFTC TNLN

Muddy, Paige Cally holly lost thongs

With Cally and paige lel muddy as lost thongs haha

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found @ 12:20pm, find # 3085.
A quick caching run from Numurkah to Tocumwal and then back to Melbourne, this one was on the way.
I stopped off here and walk for a bit of a walk to GZ, once there the cache was found quick, then it was back to the car and on to the next.
Thanks to micheena for placing this cache.

We are travelling home to Queensland this was a nice break in the trip and a chance to stretch our legs , lovely walk to the cache. great hide thanks micheena.

Found 12:12pm , find # 2411
We're off to Queensland for a week, staying at Stradbroke Islands with some friends from Brisbane.
This is day 1 of our holiday and we're driving from Melbourne to Parkes, and grabbing some caches along the way.
This one was find number 6 of 22 for the day.

Thanks micheena.

We stopped in for a great lunch today but by the time we had finished the large serves we were out of time for caching. With a long way still to drive today we didn't have time to find the cache.
Thanks micheena for bringing us here.

Time for morning tea and what better place to stop and maybe find a cache or two as well. The tornado cache proved too muggle infested, so we opted for a walk instead. Helped out a lady in the car park who needed some mechanical assistance, and sent her on her way happy. It was a bit blowy here today also, but not quite tornado status fortunately. A useful walk to settle our cuppa and raspberry slice (yum) and find a cache! SL at 12.06pm TNLN #1672 TFTC micheena and for alerting us to this pretty reserve.

Wandered along the path here with Sully1 in the sunshine and made a quick find here.
Thanks again Micheena for highlighting the strawbs

Found with bogonghazy during my short weekend and his full weeks visit up around here. We did a run to Toc today and netted 56 finds, even with a few hold-ups throughout the day. We resisted the urge to buy strawberries, although I wish I hadn't now. Took the pleasant stroll to GZ and it was bogonghazy who quickly called the magic words. Many Thanks to micheena for the cache.

Found on a long drive down from Griffith to Echuca today, though this might be the last cache for the day as I have to get to work soon! I can tick off another large item themed roadside stop now. Tnln tftc

ive been promising breanna we would stop here for years so while she was having a wander around i went for a quick run and found this tftc
