Using this for day 3 of the August streak, but no luck. Found the likely spot at GZ but came up empty handed.
A nice short walk to a pleasant location with pprass today, where we found the cache with no troubles, thanks DazRascal.
Found at 2:22 PM GAFF5 in the company of Alansee. Lots of bird boxes, but no birds! We found the cache in a lovely setting after a short walk from the car park.
Thanks DazRascal.
Thanks DazRascal.
Found with Crazy! Nat Girl on the way to the event, Nat got here before me and made the find, she had to wait for me to arrive with the pen. Thanks for the cache.
Easy find after a bit of a poke around. Seems like the thread has been crossed, needed a tool to get it open... TFTC
SL with Indiana Gleeson. Nice quiet spot, with some friendly neighbourhood dogs!
#3787 Another night mission after work and being a Friday night there was a promise of an icey for The GeoPrincess after a hard day at school . With another cache offline nearer to where we parked, we headed for a nice stroll over to GZ. We have been here before but isn't this a greenies dream! Great to see so many bird boxes about but didn't see any evidence of them being utilised whilst we were there, not surprising with the amount of people about. Reading a previous log we came prepared to fix the container, sure enough it was crossthreaded but we were able to open it with a bit of assistance. We wrote xcalies name on the log sheet on their behalf. Thanks for bringing us here DazRascal, now off to get the icey to appease The GeoPrincess. Cheers.
Found it fairly quickly, spider webs left in tact. Nano os damaged though so couldn't sign log book
Someone has cross threaded the nano, so couldn't open without tools or damage.
Couldn't sign log book.
Couldn't sign log book.
After a search around GZ the cache was spotted. Was interesting getting to it as there was a nice black spider guarding it... SL TFTC
Joint effort with Stewbies_6. While the spider wasn't on the web, it felt like a red-back web so caution is advised when placing fingers without looking first. And yes we put it back in the web.
Out and about with Branda1707......a lovely day had by all. The Cache was in hand in no time as we have placed a similar cache back home. TFTC
6008 + 693 = 6701. After completing the High Country Rail Trail yesterday we found a few more caches around Wodonga before heading home !
As the others said we had a miss at the BBQ area but then a hit here. Nice area to walk around in - thanks for bringing us here DazRascal !
TNLN - TFTC !!

Albury Dec 2012. Sol de Lune Fitzy_1965 and I were in the region to do the ride from Talangatta to Wadonga yesterday. After a miss at the Bbq area, we walked over to this one and were happy to see it as we approached. As usual the extraction was the fun part. Thanks.

We decided to have a quick trip into Victoria for the weekend to find some caches, so that we could have some colour on the map for that state. This one was thankfully a quick find for us after two DNF's. TNLNSL TFTC
Sorry DazRascal for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks DazRascal for placing this cache.
Find # 4963 on another run around Albury and Wodonga to collect a few more unfound caches.
Another nice cache and hide and then on the way again. Nice park for a night stroll too.
TFTC DazRascal,

[:(!] Flew to Adelaide with geowife to visit my geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his geofamily for several days, then we headed of to Albury/Wodonga in my geoson geocar to visit a couple of geosons and their geofamily, while in Albury I took my geoCharlie (Granddaughter) after her swimming lesson to pickup a couple before lunch, on arrival at GZ we had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes.

Had trouble replacing this. I am contacting cache owner to let him/her know. My sincerest apologies.
Found on a caching run over to Albury with 3 of my kiddies - James, Jemma and Marindah. Second crack at the rail trail by the "Trail Crew". About 40 finds for the day, a stack of STFs and about 30 more of the rail trail done. Had lunch with DasRascal at Willow park, which was great and caught up with Haveanez on the rail trail. Always to great to catch up guys....
Found just after having lunch with DazRascal. Great park here and nice to go for a walk with kids. James made the find here. TFTC Daz.

Had a little bit of time up my sleeve before picking up the girls from school so Ryan and I dropped into Willow Park for a couple of finds.
Ryan was partial for a turn on the playground, so I sat at the park bench nearby and planned my attack.
Quiet here today, nobody around, so with no visible muggles about and accurate co-ordinates the nano was located without fuss. SL at 2.30pm.
Didn't see any of the inhabitants of the bird boxes which was unfortunate, but I perched there myself for a few minutes before heading off for another find. Tranquil spot and shady for a warm day. TFTC DazRascal.

Found on a quick evening walk around Willow park. We were of course here for the event on Saturday but way to Pre occupied with other friendly Geocachers we didn't get to make a find.
Geokids had fun racing across the field however we didn't get past the park and Big Ez went solo!
GeoKids love the park here - A great spot.
Thanks Daz. TNLN SL.

After seeing this one published the day before at the AWGC event, I decided to leave it and come back for it today. This is probably my favourite park in Wodonga...hence the reason I placed one of my own caches in it...and I love returning here every time I'm back in the area. I somehow thing the park seat would be better facing the rest of the park rather than facing nothing!
Gratias DazRascal.

(Found with ywurry, gonefishen07 and a bunch of others!)
Nice easy find while attending a fantastic event.
TFTC!
P.S. Sorry for the late log!

A lovely stroll to these caches a few minutes after they had come out, with AmmoAlex and The Lost Wanderers. It was already out for signing so we just pasted it around. TFTC.
What a great day to be out Geocaching.
I was enjoying a chat at the AWGC event when I noticed other cachers had started wondering around the park with phones & GPS units in hand. I started headed over to this location with a few others while checking my phone for newly published caches. Arrived at GZ where others had cache in hand, so I turned my back while it was placed back in it hiding position, then was able to quickly retrieve, sign and replace just before BettyBoo & Robmc arrived to make the find.

Joint FTF with Poa4, everyone went that way so we went the other way while at a meet and greet.
This park has so many bird boxes,I wonder what type of birds visit them?

Micheena - Great to see the bird boxes in the park. It makes it so enjoyable to visit.
A few around the area on the Event Day with Bettyboo3747.
A nice stroll across the park to the high rise developments for birds.
Again, as with Events, we saw someone put the cache back - no searching was necessary.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2019. A nice stroll to another area of the park with Robmc. The crowds had dispersed by now and only a solitary Yowie was seen putting the hide back in its place. Over we went for a nice quick find. Hadn't noticed the bird boxes on the way over but we noticed plenty of them on our way to the next hide. TFTC DazR.
Found with Anderka Ywurry and geochild and a few others while attending the nearby event. Well this one didnt take long to find but rolling the log back up took forever. TFTC
Easy find. We found it with an another group. Heard a lot of birds around the area. TFTC.
Again we cant take the credit of actually finding the cache. Unfortunately it is hard when there are so many teams all going at once, follow the leader. We still had fun chatting as the log was passed from team to team. Thanks for a great day.
Just following the gang - too many cachers and chatter to notice the bird boxes or hear the birds for that matter. Found during the AWGC Meet and Greet event at Willow Park. TFTC DazRascal #1309

Found during the event, it was rather amusing to hear all the alerts going off when the cache was published, thanks for the cache DazRascal
Another convo to this cache. With all the eyes searching it didn't take long to find this clever hide. TFTC.
Found with an extended bunch of fellow catchers as part of today's fabulous event! TFTC
