Great day to head to Albury for a caching trip. 21st cache of the day. Unfortunately this cheap plastic container was well and truly broken with the contents quite wet. Found with Clever Monkey and Mitchaaa. TFTC!

Writing on 19/10 for a visit 18/9: stopped by while on the way to Tassie. The most memorable part of this cache was then telling my learner driver Julianne that she had to drive through the tunnel to proceed! We made it through with no scratches!

Upon the completion of some non- geocaching commitments, we were able to grab a few days in the ‘North East’. A very early start from home this morning, gave us the opportunity to spend the afternoon with the Suscoe team, shooting a few hoops and putting some more smilies on our map. We hoped to find light at the end of the tunnel! The GPS'r didn't want to look for anything. We found the cache around 8m from our GZ.
FEED BACK TO CO: The lid of the cahe is cracked and is no longer weatherproof.

Found at 11:06 AM GAFF1. We couldn't bring the caravan to the end of the tunnel, so we had to make a "U" turn and then walk a few metres to find out what was at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks TheButtonBandits.

Beechworth HSS trip March 2014 with Mtrax, Sol de Lune and Fitzy. Most of the journey was made up of the HSS puzzles which were all solved before the trip with very little input from me. The collections were made on bike or by car. The various bike legs were the highlight and were very enjoyable. We did manage many other caches in the region and all in all it was a great trip with friends with a good mix of caches and great food at the local pub. Thanks.

The tunnel made be nervous but once we got through and the GPS recalculated, we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
Had nothing much better to do on the 9 hour trip to Melbourne, and thought we'd treat ourselves to a bit of a treasure hunt.
Great cache!

My humble apologies for the late log...
Travelling from Coffs Harbour to Melbourne with a few night stopover in Wodonga along the way... After living away from home for 6 months, I have managed to find all my caching associated paperwork / notes & photo's so I can (finally) log all my finds...
My sincerest thanks to all the cache owners for their hides & all the effort gone into them & I'm sorry for the generic log... I have seen many beautiful area's that I would not of seen or experience if not for your hides...
Managed to find this one on my last day on the way back to Melbourne...

This one I've wandered past too mant times in the past so cleaned it up today. Come to think of it there are a few others I should get around too also.
Found with Mr Roo and Tankengine on our long weekend excursion to Melbourne. TFTC
The answer to that question was easy
Found with Captain Tomato and Mr Roo on our way to Melbourne. Found 41 caches all up today. Usually used our sticker, but sometimes, if space was lacking we signed using our initials CT MR TE.

Found with captain Tomato and tank engine. Didn't have to walk in the tunnel as we stopped on the highway on the right side. Found after a short search tftc
Stopped here on our way home from Eldorado.
Found after a brief search, there was a nice new log book to sign.
It feels very narrow driving through the tunnel but glad we done it.

Quick find, however the cache and log was saturated! We replaced the log and took chicken (too wet to keep there!) left car. TFTC The ButtonBandits
2487.Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1410 on our way back to The Rock. We approached this one from the wrong direction and had to double back to get to the location, which meant a roadside park. Easy find and SL Tnx The Button Bandits.
After staying at Wodonga for the night we started heading south on our last day of our holiday picking up a few caches along the way.
We have traveled passed here hundreds of times and never noticed this crossing before. We pulled off to the side and went for a quick stretch of the legs and a find of a cache.
Thanks The Button Bandits for the cache.

We've got a new name for this cache. 'whose that coming near my bridge', because while there a cyclist pedalled locally, a car went under & many trucks cars etc went on freeway. Watch out for holes.
TFTC. First find for the day on the way to Nelson for the big little event.

First ones to find this one in the new year! A quick find made on a (finally!) cool day. TFTC!
Found from the freeway - the benefit of nice big verges on the Victorian side of the border! Very easy find - initially thought the cache was someone's lunch box as it was uncovered and on its side, but everything inside was fine and the location seemed right so we left it with a rock on top. TFTC.
This was to be our first cache of the day for our trip down to Wangaratta from Albury. Back when i lived near here i would ride my bike through this tunnel and onto the nearby rail trail.

Today was the last day of our trip to Sydney, and after staying at Yass last night, we found another group of caches on our Southbound drive home.
This one was find number 5 of 10 for the day.
Pulled off the freeway at the side of the road, and quickly found the cache.
Someone drove through the tunnel while I was signing the log, and I wondered what they thought was going on.
Thanks TheButtonBandits.

Found by Mary & David at 1710. Glad to have some shade here as it is over 30°. We've had a marvellous day caching around the district. You'd never know about this tunnel while speeding by overhead on the freeway. Our thanks to TheButtonBandits.

found it. have not seen a little tunnel like this around here before. left snoopy. tftc
A few around the area on the Event Day with Bettyboo3747.
We had done the cache just down the road, so a slight detour off the highway wouldn't take too long.
Weren't too sure about driving through the tunnel, so we walked it.
A nice find at the other end.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2016. This was the 3rd for the day on our way to the AWGC Event from Melbourne. I have ridden through this tunnel many times but had tried to find it from the back roads last week and failed. Today we drove to it from the freeway. We walked through the tunnel and made a quick find at the other end. TFTC
The Team RUB hit the road with the intention of beating our 20 in a day record - we did 42 so this is a generic entry. Most were relativley quick finds with only a few DNFs. Nonetheless thanks to those who took the time and trouble to make these caches available.
Found with Slink1 on a day in Wang. TFTC SL Quick find after driving the long dark tunnel.
Had a bit of trouble finding the road to the tunnel. Stopped on road above and made a dash below. Took a while to locate but found it in the end. Nearly trod on it in the dash below. Thanks TBBs
Found at 10.16am. It always make for an easier search when you pick the right side of the tunnel to park the car

Found on the way to Melbourne. I was able to leave a bit earlier and detour via Wang to continue picking up new ones in the area. This was the first and found before meeting up with Trailrunning, who had some spare time to head up this way for a bit of an extended run himself. An easy find, after driving through a very cosy tunnel... TFTC.
We went for a drive without the teenager! Bliss!
We found lots of caches, as well - even better!
Thanks, The Button Bandits.

Last find for tonight with Wilbert67, it is two am and time to find a rest area to sleep in. It was very cold as we searched, and searched, and searched. We both stepped over it a number of times, GZ is maybe a little out, but we got there in the end. Now to grab a couple of hours of sleep.

On a cachingtrip with Hoojar. This was the last cache before we did a short sleep for the night, it was almost 2 am in the meantime! And defenitely freezing cold. Cache didn't show itself right away, but we found it in the end!

#2 of 37 for the day with bogonghazy on our third day around Wang & surrounds. Co-ords seem to be a good 7-8 metres out here, but the cache was in hand after a short search. Thanks to TBB for yet another hide.
On a tour of Wang and district with my good mate Sully1, this was our second of the morning, and another dirt track we'd normally bypass. Sully grabbed this one after the squeezy drive through the tunnel, wouldn't want to take it at 100k's, that's for sure.

The thing was to find the right road to this one, the gps only shows such a small amount of map. I knew what I was looking for and that was the tunnel. Found after a short detour (Cat liked the tunnel as it reminded her of the passes in Switzerland even though she is Swedish) and then Cat found the cache... TFTC

Popped out to this one after work to mark off this day on our geocaching calendar. A trip down memory lane really - we used to live on this road a little further along from the tunnel and well before the tunnel or the Freeway was built. SL at 5.38pm TNLN #1087 cache for us. TFTC The ButtonBandits
