M2M - Brookfield Crossing Everton, Victoria, Australia
By BettyBoo3747 on 16-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3H6Y1

Parked the car and walked back for this quick find. TFTC

After attending the event to retire, the HSS series, I decided to do a few caches on the way home. This was a nice walk on quite a hot day.

Out with Geowife and Geodogs exploring the area, what a beautiful day. All good here. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

Thanks

Heading away with Bogonghazy. Quick find. Thanks for placing the geocache

Good

Good cache nice spot cool things inside

Really great cache!

This one was fairly close to the road I walked around this tree about four times looking for a dark nesting

In the Wangaratta area for a few days caching with my very good caching mate from Bacchus Marsh 6Hinemoa2 and great caching friend from Adelaide and his mate the Blackadders.
Due to COVID lockdowns and other problems this trip has been postponed a number of times but we are finally going. Once in the area we put 3B6 or Bushfire in our logs to save space.
I am running late with my logs after finding so many in five full on caching days.
With so many caches found I have to use the cut and paste method as we found so many great caches from so many different cachers, so a big thank you to all those folk.

THE LATE TO THE WANGARATTA MEGA TOUR. [:o)]
We were booked for November 21. [^] Didn't Happen.
Booking transferred to February 22. covid
Booking transferred to May 2022. Yah - made it albeit a tad late.

DAY 4: Off to do the Ned Kelly Helmet series. and anything else we may be passing
The Fab Four of Bushfire, Blackadders, brisal5 and 6himemoa2 set off for a days of Geocaching adventures. Plan A was to do NKH and then off towards Everton and Beechworth for some Randolph the Rats caches [^] So to save space in logs we signed BBB6 or 3B6 with a team stamp for the date or similar and unless there was something different or exciting happening these logs are all generic.

Another quick find The light is fading fast and we still want to get to Myrtleford and perhaps Beechworth for some Randolph caches.

***Thanks BettyBoo3747 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Day 4of a trip to Victoria targeting around the Benalla area with Brisal5, Bushfire and 6hinemoa2. The forecast for the day was for showers however it ended up as a perfect day for caching.

A fun adventurous day including getting bogged on a back track that has been notorious for catching other cachers and the need to contact a nearby farmer who one again kindly towed us out of our predicament, something that he had done for many others in the past.

Our targets were many including some of the Randolph the Rat series and a few others nearby. It also included a high terrain tree climb that needed the Adder and the Starfish to engineer a longer TOTT to scale a tree while Bushfire and 6hinemoa2 watched on in awe.hoping that the extended legs would not collapse or slip.

Another target was the Ned kelly Helmet series which was completed.

All caches were visited handled and signed by the individual members of the group, as always there was no car hopping. This is how we play.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

Another quickish find on our trip.




Thank you for the cache BettyBoo3747, found 6/05/2022, 5:20:12 PM

Easy with terracotta duck on top!

I have missed a few on the way but no way i'm riding back up hill to get them haha!
This was a nice easy one
TFTC!

With the Mega festivities over it was time to head out of Wangaratta for a second day and hit the trails. With no others about we were on our own today although we did bump into others on our travels.
It was not so hot today and quite overcast. Ideal for caching. We drove to many, but also walked sections of the trails. We will return and ride much more when the weather is cooler.
By far the majority of caches were in good condition with most coordinates good although a few had us searching widely. We think some of our coords on caches without checkers however are incorrect. Back to the drawing board with those!
Our sincere thanks to the local cachers who have put in mammoth efforts in developing the copious number of caches in the area and maintaining them so effectively. Your efforts are appreciated.

We are in Wangaratta for a the Mega and heading out today for a few more caches in the general area. This was a quick find - nicely done. Thanks to BettyBoo3747 for the cache.

Wangaratta Mega
Day Four: a bit of everything.

I’d stopped at the Explorers obelisk and it was a short pleasant walk to this one. Wasn’t expecting the cache guardian and it startled me for a moment.

Thanks for the cache and series BettyBoo3747.

Nice spot

Second session in this area today with RoddyC, hatsofff & grannysmith1947 (signing as Team 44 QLD) to continue on with the HSS series as well as picking up a few solved puzzles & trads along the way.
Most caches were found in great condition and were easily enough to spot, we also appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into placing and maintaining these caches for our benefit, thank you to all the CO's.

TFTC BettyBoo3747

After leaving home a little later than we had planned, we finally arrived in Wangaratta and checked into our accommodation with Rapidlywild. Nice cabin that was a little toasty but we soon cooled that down with the air-conditioner while we unloaded the cars.
We then set off to do one of the trails that we had planned to attack also collecting others along our journey.

Nice trail and bike ride to fill in the afternoon and into the early evening. All caches were found although in various condition or otherwise noted.

Thanks for hiding and maintaining BettyBoo3747

After travelling down from Canberra, FurfacesLL ladies and myself did our check in duties and then decided to head down to this smallish rail trail with the bikes to try get some finds up our sleeves. Grabbed a couple roadside ones along the way and then made our way to the most furtherest one to begin the ride. Was an enjoyable ride with some lovely scenic views along the way.

Thanks for placing and mainaining this cache for us all to enjoy BettyBoo3747

It was nice to be greeted by the friendly cache guardian, when I ducked in here to sign the log.
There weren't many people about as I carried out my duties.
Thanks bettyBoo3747.

Doing my final leg from Wangaratta for streak before I take up my first base camp at Falls Creek.. Nice easy find after a short walk and a bit of serenity. Thanks for the cache BettyBoo3747

Out riding the Rail Trails with PamJ today.
Thanks for all the work put into placing these, and keeping them maintained,
We had a nice day weather wise, but decided to go back to Melbourne tonight as it looks like we're in for a deluge over the next few days.
Thanks to BettyBoo3747 for helping us to have a great day.

Spent a wonderful day around Wangaratta ion the bike trails with geo-hubby gmj3191, then had lunch in Beechworth and then back to Wangaratta via Woolshed Falls and Eldorado. But this was our last day due the expected major rain event.
Thanks to BettyBoo3747 for contributing the adventure..

Great spot on a geocaching trip today

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. Our last cache in the walking section today then back to park and grabs. While walking along the trail we saw a couple of cows with horns, that is certainly not a common sight. The scenery around here was pretty good though. TFTC

I Found this one with SciFiRulz TFTC

Nice one again. Lovely cold morning for a couple of caches. TFTC.

Found today with Alansee while on our way to the event in Myrtleford. Thanks BB3747.

Out and about walking and caching the rail trail today, dodging the small patches of rain. TFTC

This was a very quick find which was good. Muggle husband will tolerate about an hour of caching and I have stretched it a bit today.

Quick find

A short walk and a quick find TFTC

Quick find with jackez74 TFTC

Another find for us while caching on the rail trail. The young master made this find. Thanks for the hide.

Didn't find lol

Easy find with Rohkad. Tftc

TFTC great day for a walk

This afternoon I was doing what I'd originally planned to do yesterday afternoon. A mixture of cycling and drive-bys along the Great Alpine Road made for an enjoyable few hours caching. Cheers and TFTC

A quick find and a TB drop. TFTC

Found with jackez74 TFTC

A quick and easy find with matho64. TFTC

Watch out for the giant ashtray

Tftc

Found on a lovely Rail Trail Ride the youngest Geo girl liked the swaps in this one. thanks for the Cache

Next one while doing the Murray to Mountains rail trail. Found quickly then continued on TFTC

A 5.30am start today to get into Wangaratta by 6.00am. Muggle son from Melbourne participating in the Police Legacy bike ride, Wanga to Melbourne, and we wanted to wave him off, and take some photos. Driving with the group as far as Greta, we finally lost the bikes and started caching. We decided we would cache until our legs dropped off, or became so tired that we had to stop. Or eat. After stopping for a coffee in Milawa, and buying some yummies at the smokehouse, we decided to head to Beechworth for some breadrolls

On the way, we found another cache - which was not just another bit of Tupperware in the bush.

Thanks for the caches Betty Boo

Our last traditional cache for the day before heading to Murmungee.
We stopped off at Kneebone Rd. and crossed the Great Alpine Rd. before walking back towards Everton and the cache.
You could imagine a railway siding having been along here and it would of seen a fair bit of action in its day.
Not really knowing what to expect at GZ we were surprised with the find.
SL at 2.45pm. Hide all ok.
A very pleasant spot along the Rail Trail for a quick stopover. TFTC BettyBoo3747.

This is one in s gap that I came back to get - a quick find - TFTC

Everton Day2
I had dropped Bill off again to do more riding along another section of a trail.
I parked the car & wandered further along the road to this cache. Not hard to find but the cammo is certainly heavy.
A FP for this & many others.
Thanks for placing this cache BettyBoo3747

Easy find by geokids nice walk besides long grass and spotting a snake

Found while grabbing a few smilies out this way while catching up with Happy Feet and omegaman1971 for caching weekend. Managed a nice quick find after a short search, thanks BettyBoo3747 for the cache.

Grabbing some caches with omegaman1971 and Happy pants. A weekend with some fun and laughter and some great caches found. Nicely hidden cache.
Thanks BettyBoo3747 for placing the cache for us to find.

*3/1/17, Found @ 3:54 pm, Find # 6136.*

Today I headed out on a road trip, up to the Mount Buffalo area and the HVPT, this one was along the way.
This was the first one in this series for me.
It was a short walk back to GZ where I was able to make a quick find.

**Thanks to BettyBoo3747 for placing this cache.**

Lovely cache quick and easy. TFTC

If we were fit enough, we'd walk this Rail Trail and get all the caches, but we're not, so a park, walk and grab here.

Thanks BettyBoo3747 for this placement.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today with mcsee&petal. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Tftc

Found with boothie103 aka the short one on a cold wet day tftc:)

Quick find on a miserable wet and rainy cold day with bret876. Good to get out all the same. Thanks for the cache and the chance to get out.

I was on leave so plans were made to head to the Beechworth area with My good Mate the Roostaman, Today was a big day for me with 100 finds, we concentrated on the HSS series and several caches between Everton and Beechworth, we had a fantastic day riding bikes and driving around the area. Thanks BettyBoo3747 for the cache.

We looked everywhere but weren't able to find. The place had muddy streams everywhere and overgrown grass. Tftc anyway.

Day eight of our 14 day holiday and we are off to Numurkah via Wangaratta and Yarrawonga doing some caches along the way. A nice easy find, and something a little different, very novel, but it was very heavy to say the least. TFTC. TNLN.

Heading to Myrtleford - this one is very cute T4TC:)

Cool nights nearly time to head north TFTC. 4th

Found with FUF009 on our way to Porepunkah for a fun long weekend, with Sharkiefan to join us up there later today. Another opportunistic stop for us to get the weekend underway and in full caching mode. Loved the unique camo too. TFTC BettyBoo3747

Find # 2905 @ 1508 H

Found with chooknchunk.
While we were Heading up to the Alpine country for the Long Weekend to tackle the HVPT, we had a couple of stops along the way to break up the trip.
Normally I would be on my bike while grabbing Rail trail caches. but this one was another interesting find and a good stretch of the legs

After a couple of really enjoyable days at Mount Buffalo with The Tritonz and others and some superb weather, unfortunately it was time to head home, but not before finding a few caches along the way. Nice easy find with some cool camo.

Heading north back up to the highway in the company of Ahomburg, we picked up the rest of the unfound, solved puzzles in the local vicinity of Myrtleford , not quite ready for the reality of home yet!
Grabbed this trad as we past so we could drop off a TB to continue its journey.
Thanks BettyBoo3747 for the hide.

Cheeky pullover on the way home. Thanks BettyBoo.

Very cute tftc

As we continue our trip along this road we see another unfound cache on the radar that isn't to far from the road, so we pulled up at the nearby monument and walked to the cache. Once at GZ we found a different kind of cache which managed to bring a smile to our faces.
TFTC.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there BettyBoo3747. We found your cache "M2M - Brookfield Crossing" at 9:16:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 12323.
[Blue]
Today we decided that some more HSS needed to be found. We wanted to do the "on road" ones as the forcast was for a really hot day, but we ended up attempting some of the ones on the bike trail as well. We both enjoyed our ride in the cache run today & ended up logging 18 and DNF'ing 2 today.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 1m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing in the small ones, and a smiley badge wherever we could fit one.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Really cool cache tnx

Great little stroll.

TFTC. We have driven past this spot about a dozen times in the last week. Each time we have been pressed for time. Made a decision this morning and pulled up in Kneebone Rd. Walked to GZ and signed the log. A great surprise .

quack quack. tftc bb

Nice easy find.
Nice mum and her eggs.
Thanks for the cache.

Lovely cache and a quick find today. TFTC

Not happy Jan, these caches always freak me out. As growing up in the real Aussie bush I have an amazing instinct to look for snakes and anything out of the ordinary, well I saw this and if I had a stick I would have wacked it, then I calmed down, and realized I was caching, glad it was not the summer, thanks for for raising the heart beat. My 5 year old would have loved this

This cache made me smile. A novel idea - well done.

A little jaunt in the winter's sun for this one, and a bit of a different camo made for an enjoyable cache all round. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

This was a great presentation

Activity on the rail trail was busy as we walked towards the cache coords. However we avoided the bikes and realised that birds nest soup was on the menu at 11:05. A nice touch. TFTC

12th find whilst cycling from Beechworth to Myrtleford. My thanks to the cache owners for the great caches along the trail.
We were hoping for a picnic table here to have some lunch but there isn't anything until Gapstead, as we found out! But it was comforting to find a cache instead I laughed when I walked around the tree and spotted the cache.
Whilst I was signing the log a young lad spotted me as he was riding past with his family, then almost stacked his bike, making an impressive recovery. He didn't look back after that lol. TFTC!

A very appropriate style of hide for a find on Easter Day. There isn't much left here to remind us off all the activity that must have once taken place. Thanks BettyBoo3747.

Called by today for a cache check. All good with the hide here. Picked up the TB that has been here for quite a few weeks now and it can travel westwards for a while.

Parked in Kneebone Rd and walked over to GZ. Nice surprise! Signed log at 11:05am.
TNLN
thanks BettyBoo3747
