Happened to be driving past so made a quick stop for a fairly quick find! TFTC!!

LTF

Found on way to my campsite for the night

Yeah thanks for hide

Found, Thankyou

Too snakey and wet to get to

Found with hevwalker on our trip to get the winter solstice challenge sovereign. Very wet under foot. Hevwalker stepped into a big puddle in the grass on the way back to the car ooops, I was lucky and found a drier route. So much water around. TFTC

Out & about on a day trip with my mum & scramping collecting caches for the Summer Solstice souvenir (it is way to cold to be summer), however the sun was shining today even though the wind was icy.
It's a great road along here with all the roadside sculptures. I got wet feet trying to jump the puddle at the roadside. All good, my shoes are waterproof.
The cache was found, stamped & placed back as found.
Thanks

Day Trip with the kids. Found out about geocaching. FIRST ONE EVER FOUND.

Patrol spirit lives on

Found today as I headed ocean bound! Thanks for the cache!

Catching up with a missed log

We are now only travelling with the_Tritonz planning on meeting up with the rest of the group at Millicent we were just roaming around looking for adventure labs and anything else that may come along.
They had previously found this cache but we weren't going to drive straight passed without stopping to look for it. It took us a little while to find the cache but we did mange to and our name was added to the log.

We have a similar cache called "Winching Wench's Rest" placed because we were well and truly stuck there until the winch came into play.

Thanks whitey84 for the cache.

This cache was only a short drive from Aspley, so we could not resist the detour. Love the old boney accessories that come with the cache.

nice day for it .

Well aged but a goodies tftc

Day #11 of the Birthday Bush Bonanza. Sadly it was time to leave the crew and Wyperfeld National Park and head off exploring on my own. A couple of caches on the way back to Hopetoun followed by a loop of the Wimmera area.

Fortunately the GeoRanger has plenty more life left in it. A quick find as the sun sets.

Thanks whitey84 for the cache and for contributing to the game.

Hope you’re back on the road! TFTC

Stomped through the tall grass and spotted the cache very quickly.
TFTC

Very easy find after tip toeing through the long grass. Can see others have driven to the cache location, but it’s not that far. TFTC.

Nice spot, no trouble for the Ford Ranger

11:07
Leaving Horsham early we made our way to Hamilton, via an arc which took us close to the SA border (which we are not allowed to cross at the moment) Together with Suscoe, we found a variety of caches in some interesting locations, first one of these trusty containers for a while.

Our thanks to 'whitey84' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

Suscoe headed out today for a trip to Hamilton via a wide arc heading out to near the SA border with our good friends, Phetlern.
It was a hot and windy day, with a top of 36 degrees on the car dashboard.
We saw some stunning countryside in places that we have never been to before.
Mt Arapiles was a stand out spot with amazing rocks, stunning views and remarkable countryside.
We were amazed at the green grasslands out here and the trees that were a feature of the whole drive.

Thanks to whitey84 for this hide, it was pretty hot by the time we got here.

Needed the hint. Nice container.

Quick find

Was on the ground

Great little cache

A quick stop while out exploring. TFTC

A quick find in the reliable 100 series Landcruiser
Thanks whitey84 for the placement.

Tfgc

Nice one. The Munstas.

TFTC

Quick find! Tftc!

Could not find any where after 15 mins of looking. We'll try again next time

Make sure you hide it when you find it for the next lot to have a look...
Tftc!

Found, grass is getting long so be careful

??

Found It!
A quick find. The Hilux had no issues what-so-ever here!

Found on the way home after wood cutting out this way
Nice quick find
TFTC whitey84

Wet feet but found!

Found it

Nice easy find

Lucky we were in the Land Cruiser. (sorry lol). Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here.

The grass was a bit too long and weather still warm so didn't want to risk this one. Could see possible location. Will come back when colder. Happy Easter!

Right; enough heading east now it's time to actually go north and find a camp spot. Heading for Lake Bringalbert to see what the camp there is like and this cache just couldn't be passed by. A quick find then we continued on north.

Found on the ground, put back to hint as close to co ords as possible. TFTC

On a visit to Apsley decided to look for some caches other than the nature walk ones - still very wet on that path so ....

found with TrudyJane and bother the grass seeds in my shoes and socks )

Over the border with clare007 and CPwanderer
Quick stop to find this hide on a lovely day

TFTC

Out with CPWanderer & Phoenix flare caching in and around the SA-Victoria border today.
We found the cache easily enough, but had trouble getting the cache due to it's location.
Thanks to some natural tools, Phoenix flare was able to secure the cache.
Thanks for the hide whitey84

Found with clare007 and Phoenix Flare!! Very soft edges after the rains made parking a challenge here!! Thanks for the hide!!

Dr Owl was suggesting a weekend away to tackle some adventurous caches in a disputed area of Mexico and to spend some quality time with Muff1. Who was I to say no! Extensive use was made of the Muffmobile and Mrs Muff came along for the ride and to poke fun at our caching efforts.

Got it, no problems with the Muffmobile today, it got us safely through the This is SA series and some highway driving.

Thanks for the cache whitey84.

Owl and Sushilord decided on a weekend adventure and went to visit the Muffs. The Muffmobile was hijacked and Mrs Muff taken as a hostage to ensure easy finds, though she proved recalcitrant in that regard. Lovely weather and good companionship added to the enjoyment. Owl's GPS had given up the ghost at this point (curse of the 64st!), so it was found by instinct.

2nd find found it 10 metres away from were it was surposed to be. Very small container once you find it you will be very surprised!!!;)

The curse did not strike this time!

Thanks to whitey84 and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^]

The last find in what was my second biggest day of caching by find count ever with 43 finds including 29 in Little Desert.
Thanks

Find # 2406 @ 1141 H

I was off on my biggest, single day, road trip. I left home at just after 7am and didn't get home until just after 11pm. I ended up with just over 670ks travelled, 29 smilies one being and event, and 3 Trig point discoveries, this included even heading interstate for 3 grabs.
There was many sights to see and even the odd fence jump for caches or photos. I think I managed to see every colour of mud that Western Victoria has on offer and I have a nice collection of it now in my drive way. I even had my pushbike on board and ended up peddling 5ks for 6 finds.

Reading the cache description I was hoping that this cache would not put the moz on me.
I had to have a chuckle to my self as the geotrail ends up going in 4 different locations. in the end the GPSr rang true with spot on cords. With my name in the log it was just a wish my ute started. Phew I was off

TFTC whitey84

Our trusty Mitsy got us here safely.
Cache in good order.

Found on our 'get the learner driver some hours up' tour of Vic & SA. My husband and son #1 both have ageing patrols at home & they are both a bit temperamental. I bought a Jeep!

It is when heading out into the open country that I believe my wheels will have me safely reach my next destination.

SL whitey84 tftc

Found with Postiegirl and Hurtle.Took a little while, but we eventually found it. Our BT-50 was all good along here as well.
Lovely country side.

Cheers and thanks for the cache

The Triton loved it along here - sorry to hear about your car - great day exploring beautiful country Victoria SL TFTC

Our Triton was fine along here!

Thanks

Found the cache thanks

Found today at 1:30pm with Lennyboy, hopefully you now have a Hilux, Thanks for the Cache.

#5 of 12 finds for me today. Oh dear whitey84 I hope all ended well for you on that fateful day. And as we cruised along in our Patrol I hoped that there was really no curse at all. A good find but unfortunately the log was soaking so I replaced it with a new one in a plastic bag. Thanks for placing this cache so that we travellers can have fun finding them. SL TFTC

Nice quick easy find. Unfortunately the log is wet and needs replacing

Good hide needs to b tipped upside down so it doesn't get wet. Log definitely needs to be replaced.

Had a giggle at the description. TFTC D

Bit damp this one. Took a little finding. Couldnt write on it. Bugger

Too wet to sign

Found but couldn't sign as log is to wet!

A quick drive by on our way to Apsley today
In Naracoorte for the BLE this weekend and thought we'd snag a few caches along the way
Log damp but signed and replaced as carefully as could
TFTC x

This one took longer than it should have. After expanding our search a little, we finally managed to snag this little critter.

Log was slightly damp, but managed to sign it carefully and replace.

TFTC.

In Naracoorte with Genghicat for BLE2 & grabbing caches in the area

Log was slightly damp

TFTC

Looked in wrong tree first, log a bit damp. TFTC

Great find!

The log book is quite damp and needs to be replaced, sorry did not have one to replace it

Sad to read the sad tale of your vehicle, but on the up side it gave birth to this cache.

SL TFTC

Very wet underfoot no pen took pic of log which is also very wet hound took off after a hare still waiting for him to come back TFTC

Was travelling the road nearby and diverted to this hide as I need it for a challenge cache I'm doing. TFTC

Quick find while on my way to Kiata Campground for a weekend of good times driving around the Little Desert in 4WD. My TD42 made if fine... were you driving it a little hard Whitey??

Damp log. Grand daughter found it first, lying on the ground. Put it where the hint said. May need to be tied, there. Tftcsl. 22/02/2014 2:12 pm Find #604

found it

Would some WD40 have fixed the ZD30 ?

I found no trace of the ZD30 by the roadside today, but the evidence of a cache was there to be seen
The cache could do with some WD40, it gets a bit damp inside
I gave it a good breath for fresh air though and signed the log book.

TFTC.

After a couple of DNF'S close by I was doubting my caching senses, but luckily this one is still here. TFTC and the arvo drive.

I found this on the ground and thought it was in the wrong spot so I placed it where I thought it should be nearby.When I went to log this I read the hint and figured I had put it back where it should be....lucky guess I suppose

Bad day for snakes nearly stood on one

Took some time to park a safe distance off the road. Watched for snakes. Thanks

Quick find while out yabbying

I drive this road every week! In amazed my car hasn't broken down yet! Ha ha! Tftc

First to find. Found on a drive around while my son played cricket in Penola. I thought I would check this scary road out. My ford focus made it unscathed. Maybe you should rethink your mode of transport Whitey

Tftc.
