Tftc! A challenging walk to get thereH & C

Relatively easy with good hint: David

I began making my way up the track towards this location after having just found the previous cache. The walk up here was relatively easy, though I was slightly puffed. After a quick water break as I neared GZ, I took a look at my GPS to see just how close I actually was to the cache. I found myself closer than I expected and so, I began scanning the surrounding area for any possible object being referred to in the hint. My eyes soon locked on to a very possible hiding spot so I made my way over there. I was relieved to see that, sure enough, this was indeed the hiding spot for the cache. I opened up the container with its very interesting lid, signed the logbook and soon replaced before continuing on my way.

Many thanks for hiding this cache along with all the others in this park. These caches made for a very enjoyable walk around the park this afternoon.

Spotted a possible host and found the funny container. A little water in it. Very good thanks!

If you do as you are told, you are rewarded

Almost done only a few more caches to go in this series. It looks like I had the place to myself today.

Came here on a birthday trip out! Some nice nature, a wonderful walk away from people is exactly what we were looking for and that is exactly what we got! We left late this morning though so sadly we didn't get to finish the whole trail. Our GPS was in and out and we were kicking ourselves for not having brought our Garmin, as we had to leave a couple behind because of this.

While we were here the rolling thunder came in, ponchos went on and we waited for the rain to hit. It never really came though, just a little drizzle, for which we were thankful.

Some caches took us longer than we care to admit to find, again we presume due to GPS issues and this slowed us down too. The caches we found were all in good condition though!

Trying to get a few along this track before the rain sets in. TFTC

A.very early start saw me at Dromaniax place to head for a day at Ingleston Gorge The. Morning tea event at the gorge was the carrot that had us heading for that destination plus a trail of caches to keep us entertained for the remainder of the day. They did that and more as the day turned out to much longer than anticipated, not returning home finally until after dark Another cache another clue and a short search before finding the right place TFTC Crack' 'LeeLee

A big group today joined forces to find this big series of caches in the Ingliston Gorge, and to make it to a morning tea event held here today. My car pool group of Chooknchunk, Explorer Nan and myself teamed up with Ozhockeychick and before we had the cache returned Roaming Howie joined in the trek. After the event our group grew with the inclusion of Au Fait, Dromaniax, Mudbrick and CracknLeeLee. We had a great day and the long walk was broken up and forgotten with all the banter and quite a few little rest breaks. The letterbox cache tested our fitness but none of us gave up and everyone was encouraging each other to keep on going. Thx to all the COs for the great hides in a stunning location. Was a little relief that we managed to get the bonus cache found before the rain arrived! Can't wait for the next day like this one.

Met up with a few cachers today for a leisurely group assault on this section of the Gorge.
What a cute cache!
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, Crack'n'LeeLee ??

Found it.

The sun is shining and the sky is blue, which is something I didn’t expect this morning! (Not that I expected the sky to be a different colour!). Perfect day for an event in Werribee Gorge State Park and a wander along the tracks for some caches!

The group of rabble is growing by the minute and we were joined by more finders at GZ. Remembered the clue this time!

Thanks Crack'n'LeeLee for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Initially lured by the 'Morning Tea with a View' event today, and subsequent liaison with the CO and other cachers to complete the Ingliston Gorge circuit, we were blessed by the weather gods with the only day in the week that was relatively pleasant enough to do this hike comfortably. Chook and Explorer Nan got up nice and early to make their way to Ballarat to carpool with Perpetually Lost. Once at the parking coords, we joined up with OzHockeyChick and Roaming Howie and off we set on our journey in the steps of Noah's Lark.

Started meeting up with other cachers on the way to the event here, so it became a bit of a group assault.

TFTC to the original COs, g_ordo and mudbrick, and to Crack'n'LeeLee for taking this series on so cachers can continue to enjoy it.

Out and about today for some geocaching shenanigans with Stemicmitsar today. What's on today's agenda, to head on over to the event in Werribee Gorge and do some general caching throughout the day.
Avoiding the predicted showers (until the afternoon).
With 30 odd caches ticked off for me it was a great day out on a okay winters day.
Thanks for the cache and the little adventure

At an event last night, we had a conversation with au.fait, and we decided to travel together to the event in Ingliston Gorge today. It was an early start, leaving St Leonards at 7 am.

We were blessed with fantastic weather and arrived at the parking area around 9 am. We hoped to find all the caches in the Gorge today.

The sunshine was lovely when walking in it, and it warmed us up quite nicely.

We ventured slightly off the path to find this cache.

Another cache in excellent condition.

Thank you for this cache GMWG, mudbrick, and to Crack'n'LeeLee for adopting and maintaining it.

Checked on this one today. Repairs as required. All good

Still feeling fresh when I found this one.

Today I had to drive my daughter down to school camp nearby and decided to make a day of caching as it was my day off work. I selected these caches as they looked like a good challenge and I liked how you didn't need to backtrack. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and didn't see a single person all day. I am going to sleep well tonight! Thanks for taking over these caches Crack'n'LeeLee they are fantastic. GMWG; g_ordo you sure know how to place some interesting caches!

the day is turning hot
a full morning of steaming sunlight and this rocky gorge heats up like a kiln
the mercury and the bureau might technically disagree
they may claim to know their thing or two about absolute temperature
but for those hiking up a big hill sweating buckets while cloaked in heavy fabric to deter the bite of sunlight and mosquitos
we do declare:
it is hot

so it is good then that this trail of treasures is coming to an end
and there is a big wide hot road to follow home
so
onwards
home we go

Another great afternoon spent with Bogonghazy. Thanks for placing the cache.

Nice little hill to walk up and warm up. Tftc

Spending the day caching with AlexiKatty trying to stay on target for my milestone for the Wangaratta mega in January. It's a nice day and beautiful to be out hear again. Very happy to add this smile to my map.

Found after climbing that hill! TFTC (and exercise!!!!)

Rainy wet and cold - but perfect day for a bush walk! 2nd day in a row doing this walk
TFTC

Thanks

Cute container

Found it!

Sunday caching plan saw Spiffy, my geopartner and I head out to the Ingilston gorge area for the series of caches. Cloudy and coolish, but the constant up and down hills soon fixed that. We tackled these numerically except for a couple which worked nicely for the clue collecting and kept us on solid paths.

Another one spotted quickly by spiffy- The coords and hints in this series were spot on. And we were starting to find clues which was encouraging.

Thanks to GMWG; mudbrick - adopted by Crack'n'LeeLee for the placement and fun.

Found at 11:43 am.
Fleabag- had a new plan today to do this circuit and also the high terrain letterbox for some challenge he was working on. I didn't look at the contour lines on the map and agreed to his plan. Today (the day after) I am still hurting from 1. Climbing up and down and 2. because I am unfit. We also have a bad habit of taking the shortest possible route to each cache. That is a bad idea here on some of these we found out! Oh well, all part of the adventure. The weather was perfect though, about 18 degrees and fully overcast. It was nice out here, bush was not too thick but gee it was dry.

Fleabag- lazily stayed on the main trail while I headed in to get this one.
Thanks Crack'n'LeeLee for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

The walk so far has been great and we found this one

Quick find after doing the gully walk.

it was a good hide after a while started to notice a pattern so we found them easier and got a idea of where to look

TFTC Crack'n'LeeLee

AusFox; was keen to get out for a walk/hike before the start of the school year and the whole back to the grind of work started for the year so when he asked if I was keen I jumped at the chance. I have looked at these cache on the map a number of times but never had the chance to get out and grab some.
What a wonderful spot for a hike and to grab some smiley's as a bonus.
After a short hunt here AusFox; was able to make the find here.
Thank you Crack'nLeeLee for adopting this series for us all to enjoy

WOW! what an amazing walk around Ingilston Gorge circuit with such a variety of hides, sizes and camo along side SimsFamily with perfect weather.
I was surprised not to meet another person on our walk.l for the whole day.
The paths at times were hard to tell apart from animal tracks, but well signed to be able to be able to work our way around without issues.

Log signed and replaced as found

Thanks for the awesome series Crack’n’LeeLee

quick find on a sunny day

Nice easy one

Thanks for the Cache.

Nice find

Completed this track with friends on the first weekend out of isolation where we are allowed to exercise together ️
It was so great to get out of our backyard and into the bush!!

It was a beautiful day so we took our time. The meander along the dry creek bed was nice and the Geokids found lots of cool rocks.

Thankful that I downloaded the list before we left as phone reception was poor and the track isn't very well defined. We had to help a few people along the way who couldn't see the track.

Was a bit of a hard slog heading back up hill after weeks of limited exercise lol. The 5kms felt more like 15km!

All in all a very enjoyable day. Thanks for bringing us to this great spot that's so close to home yet we never knew about it!

The restrictions have been eased.
The park has been re-opened.
Happy caching everyone!
Keep safe all.

As a result of directions from the Chief Health Officer about restricted physical distancing and mass gatherings, Parks Victoria has closed Werribee Gorge State Park.
Therefore, we will disable all of our caches in the park until further notice.
Stay safe everyone.

9 March 2020 whew, that got the heart racing ,not as young as I used to be lol

Tftc!

Beautiful day walking in the gorge - enjoyed this series. TFTC.

A quick find before the ugliness of the pipeline track above. Thanks for the cache.

I was lagging behind the others, but sneakily read the hint before arriving so was able to go straight to the cache TFTC!

A much quicker find to get me back on track. Hoping to clear out this area and some surroundings caches today. A feel weekend of packing boxes for moving house next week so need to make most of a day off! Absolutely love it out here. So grateful for the caches that have brought me to this area I probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Tftc

We had decided we would just get a couple of caches today as there wasn't time to get them all. Soooo cute! A few slip and slides were had on the trail here

Hehe what a cute container, raindoctor took a snap for his geodad. We signed and replaced and continued on our way, slipping and sliding on every other turn. Oops!

Found. But no clue inside! Tftc

Unique creature guarding this one

Tftc this one took a while, as we were trying to get our breath from the last hill. Qe walked right past it. I hit my head on a tree

*30 Mar 2019, Found @ 1:41 pm, Find # 9070.*

Today I headed out with jascat for a couple of events at Pykes Creek, once we were completed there, we then set our sights on the Noah's Lark a Gambol in the Gorge series, the weather was changing all the time but was pressed on through the wind, rain and sunshine.
Making our way back up to the ridge line or is it the Ark line, we made a short detour off track and the cache was quickly spotted from a far.

**Thanks to GMWG; mudbrick - adopted by Crack'n'LeeLee for placing this cache.**

*30 Mar 2019, Found @1:38 pm, Find # 2604.*

After attending the two events we decided to come and do this series. This was a Quacker of a cache.

Another cool container, great fun TFTC

The day was still young and we were full of energy powering up the incline here. We paid for it 2 hours later, but it was worth it! Kept our eyes peeled for more clues for the final. TFTC

Found by Aussie Train Driver 17/11/2017, find number 1198.
Another great hide whilst on the trail. GPS lead me in circles here again but I soon spied the cache. Have had a laugh at quite a few of the containers so far! TFTC.

This is really a great series. TFTC Mudbrick, g_ordo, and Crack n LeeLee

A rare day off with hubby and no kids meant we could do a decent hike whilst they were at school. We decided to come here as I haven't tackled any of it so far. What a brilliant morning! Such a beautiful place. A few kangaroos and wallabies around but otherwise we had the place to ourselves. We managed all but a few as I wasn't keen on one of the creek tracks and the letterbox was too hard (exhaustion)! Lol. Generally though it was an easy enough walk with a few tough hills but not too many! We left feeling very pleased and super happy with our efforts - thanks a million.

After teaming up with the McLookers we planned to have a shot at this series, the weather was looking good one minute and very very average the next minute. But that did not stop us, it just meant we needed to pack a jacket.
We really enjoyed the walk around here finding the caches and gathering all the clues, we didn't see much wildlife, we think they were all taking shelter and watching us from a distance laughing at us getting soaked.
This was a very fun series to do, many thanks to gordo, mudbrick and Crack'n'LeeLee.

TFTC - nice easy one. Off to number 6.

Cool TFTC Cheers

Werribee Gorge circuit has been on the bucket list for a while after grabbing No1 some months back. Made the long slow walk around the circuit today in a 4 hour return journey although I missed the last week and the bonus cache. TNLN TFTC GMWG This marked the end of the upward climb thankfully and out of the scary long grass. Now a real track and downhill, yes!

Great hides. TFTC

Continuing the SueHut Werribee Gorge "Date Day". The GPS was indecisive as to which side of the creek the cache was on. Consequently, I had to do a few creek crossings here (under SueHut's directions ). Thanks heaps, GMWG!

Wow the climb out of the gorge was exhausting. But found the cache

Started the walk early to get a start .
The series was enjoyed although not all were found as the tracks at times were overgrown and disappeared .
The effort and camo's were appreciated for this series .
A fav point added to number one of the series .

Sprung by one of our companions as we signed the log at 11:00am, we heard that he had decided to turn back. After a chat we hurried on to try and catch up to the others.

thanks GMWG

After a very pleasant stroll through Sloss's Gully, we arrived here only to be 'discovered' by one of our walkers who was returning to the car due to a 'Dicky Knee'. After a short chat and a signing of the log at 10:55.

TNLNSL noted clue. Thanks GMWG; mudbrick.

Another mudbrick special

A duck! Easy enough to find, a bit off the track

easy find. TFTC. Thanks for the hint.

Very nice hide.

I have been eyeing off this series for some time. My monthly partners in crime, Biggles Bear, had already done it some time ago, so it never was available for a joint effort. So today, being somewhat roughly in the area, I decided to give it a go. Nice quick find.

My thanks to GMWG & mudbrick for the cache.

I'll be at the conference all day, she said. You should do something nice, she said.

This walk should be nice, I thought. Loop walks are nice. Warm weather and fresh air are nice.

A meandering walk down to the gorge and along the creek bed , peppered by entertaining hides and amusing containers made this a nice circuit indeed. Never saw another soul.

The day, in the end, got away from me and there were a few outstanding caches unattempted before I needed to turn for home. Always a good excuse to come back for more.

Western Gorges, man.

Thanks and cheers!

Been eyeing off this series of caches for a while now, so we decided to have a go on a glorious ANZAC day. This used to be a great walk for our border collie many moons ago, however we haven't come here for a hike in such a long time.

Many thanks for a great series, a great mixture of well constructed hides. Cache in good condition. TNLN

While travelling with Mutex I’ve found a lot of caches all over Australia. You know, I like the discovering, especially in nature, but am not that much intopcs and internet ..and logging. So we spend a whole day together to indicate all the caches we found together out of his list. Hope you don't mind the standard text aslazy me has to log quitea few now. HopefullyI'm gonnawork on that

Thanks!
