Lerdie Links Walk #3 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
By sorceysal on 04-Dec-12. Waypoint GC42D6J

It has finally come time to archive this series as the council is not going to keep the walk maintained and it has been diverted to no longer going in a link.

It was a good day for geocaching,with CLOGWOG,and thanx for hiding the cache. TNLN!!!!

Find # 4403 @ 11:39 AM. Another day out caching with redranger2001. TNLN, Left my mark in the log, Thanks for placing this cache here....

Spent the day & night in Bacchus Marsh with Geordiefamily enjoying the town and the great caches.
A couple of local kids where throwing rocks into the river so time before so I thought it was my turn as Geordiefamily looked into the Clearwater, revenge came swiftly.
Thanks for the cache sorcerysal

out in bacchus marsh from geelong caching with my good friend Alchey. as we approached gz we had been walking along intermittently chatting to one of the guys who worked at the nearby golf club, who was walking his dogs and collecting golf balls that had been hit out of bounds. we kept stopping to check out wildlife or imaginary stones in boots. again the imaginary stone was used at gz. log was soon signed and cache replaced. had to check out nearby river and notice how clean it looks. was checking out the little ripples in the water, made by tiny fish i assumed. as i tried to get close enough to have a look a huge boulder flew past my head and a huge splash in front of me. i turned to see a very amused caching partner having a good laugh at my expense. revenge was got at a cache further up the track, so all good. tftc and the wonderful location

We were really getting int the stroll now, but becoming complacent. So at this cache we first headed in the wrong direction. A quick regroup, and the cache was soon discovered.
Thanks for the series, sorceysal.

Found as part of the Geelong crew caching road trip.

Great view of the weather.

This was find number 29 on a huge day of caching spent in and around Bacchus Marsh. We started out in Lara with an early morning flash mob event and then hit the road, caching our way towards The Marsh where we added a couple of the Ballarat crew to our number. And so with Na'wal, Frog_Lady, ThePacman, The_Tritonz, Roads75, Wozzle68, ST37E, DAB and Jacko83 we drove, walked, waded, scrambled and slid our way to a total for me of 36 caches.
More strolling than scrambling and sliding required for this series of caches and at GZ the cache was soon spotted and the log signed.
Thanks sourceysal !

Found We were wondering where this one would be with a slightly higher terrain rating but soon found this in a spot that we didn't think. The container was wet but the log was ok. A beautiful walk along the Lerdies Links. With the water flowing to our right and the sun shining, it was a great time to do this series.

A group trip including Frog_Lady, Buckleysbabe, the Pacman, the Tritonz, Roads75, Wozzle68, ST37E, DAB, Jacko83. It was a fantastic day that we had traveling from Geelong into Bacchus Marsh. Some very clever hides were found, plenty of laughs and great company.

The terrain rating on this one had us a little befuddled but soon had the cache in hand .... was wet but still signable..... TFTC

We were on a group assault up from Geelong with the company of Na'wal, Buckleysbabe, The_Pacman, Frog_Lady, Roads75, Wozzle68, ST37E, DAB, and Jacko83, with lots of fun and laughs along the way, We really loved the walk along here, it really made our day, thanks for bringing us down along here, Thanks for the cache.

Filled in the damp log, wrapped it up nice and tight.

Very easy

Bit wet this one!!! Go team mp

Found 1:43:00 PM, on a lazy Sunday afternoon caching expedition.

TNLN, thanks sorceysal.

A Saturday morning . A river walk. Absolutely no one about. Off we go...
A very enjoyable series. A chance to stretch your legs without having to hop over boulders.

Ok, this one was soaked. Tipped out the excess water. Surprisingly the plastic bag was wet but the log dry enough to write on. The golfers nearby ignored me.

Thanks and cheers!

Tackled the second half of this trail today, an enjoyable walk, with birds and lizards to be seen.
Another damp log, drained and rehid.

Found with help of the hint. Really enjoying our walk this afternoon. TFTC sorceysal

I think this one was nearly half full of rusty water. Tipped it out, but still looks uninviting. However the log seemed dry in its little plastic raincoat bag. TFTC.

Out finding a few local caches with GeoHusband. This is a great walk along a beautiful river. Be careful of the condition of the track at the beginning. Lots of muggles, hint was very helpful.

Found this one easily

Found by The Empire @ 12:40pm
Find number 11 of 27 today. I deployed my pretty capable mountain bike for the trek this afternoon, glad I did as it made everything pretty easy, especially the ride back to the car. All of the cache were found in the series, some taking longer than others. I little run in with some stinging nettle but that's just a another caching day for me in Spring! My thanks to sorceysal for the cache, and the series.

Found on a days caching with LumpyJRB who was visiting from Katherine in the Northern Territory.
The sign said the track was closed. Oh well I thought, just add another star to the terrain difficulty LOL. I really enjoyed this little series. I liked the variety of hides and effort put in. TFTC.

Another quick find. Love the series. Tftc

Out caching again with the TDC in the Melbourne are. I took advantage of another trip to Melbourne with Blacklegend and went out for a great nights caching in and around the Melbourne area. Great to catch up with the guys again. Had a great night and found lots of caches. Thanks to all cache owners for their hides.

It was a whole family trip as we brought our dog Lucy along for the walk which she loved!

Thanks to sorceysal for the work done on this trail.
A most enjoyable walk this morning in the sun.

Out and about with Slink1 on a on another caching run. Bikes deployed where needed, Walking when appropriate, drive by where possible. A day of caching enjoyment was had by both of us, and a vote of thanks to the cache owners for the effort and placement of the caches. TNLN SL TFTC.

We were up early this morning attending the ANZAC day service in Werribee so the rest of our day was spent geocaching. [^] TFTC sorceysal

A lovely walk on a lovely day , seen 2 lizards a heap of Rosellas ans cocky's - tftc and a memorable afternoon sorceysal

Easy find, but looking around, I would love to know more of the old infrastructure. Looks like an old bridge or something. Thanks for bringing us to this area. Lived here for years, but never strolled along this part. Might need to do some more exploring around this spot. Interesting.

Found with S 4 Sammy on a nice walk around the Bacchus Marsh Golf Course on Easter Saturday, nice quick find after looking at the opposite side of the river

Found on an Easter Saturday morning. Taking advantage of a lovely day to tackle this trail with ST37E.

Nice quick find - cool views nearby

TFTC!

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.

It's Torment Your Daughter Day, er, parent-teacher interviews, so Miss Teenager and I have the pleasure of each other's company. As her idea off a good time is with her nose in a novel, she may as well be in the passenger seat of the car as lounging around the house. So, let's start on the great number of hides in Bacchus Marsh.



If the teenager thought she was just going to laze in the passenger seat of the car all day, she was dreaming. I needed a bit of a leg stretch, which meant guess who would be accompanying me. This, after all, is the reason we've come this way.



Ten caches in a four klick loop? Perfect for a fine sunny day.



By this time we'd fallen into a pattern: I forge ahead, the teen eventually catches up and mopes about while I find the cache, she wanders off as I sign, and I pass her on the way to the next one. No rest for the wicked at this one, as I uncovered the container just as she reached me.

Having spent the morning in Lerderderg State Park hunting some high terrain caches with Ahomburg, we still had some time to hunt for some local caches before making the drive back to HQ. After refueling and having lunch had a local Fish n' Chip shop, spent the following 2 hours walking around the local river and golf course collecting a number of good caches. By now the weather was ideal with temperature around 25 but it felt warmer then that and glad I had the sunscreen on.

Another quick find as we powered around the golf course this afternoon, doing this nice series. Enjoyed the hunt. TFTC sorceysal

Find # 2717
Date 24th Mar 2013
Time 3:37 PM

Finally, my caching partner in crime SedgwickDave had returned from a trip out west so it was time for another caching run, this time in Lerderderg State Park, hopefully to grab a FTF and a D / T Combo that both Dave and I had not yet been able to get. The weather forecast was looking good with a max around 25, so Dave picked me up from my place for an early start.

Another nice little hide, Thanks to the suspicious pile of rocks.

Thanks again to sorceysal for the cache. TNLN

This was the last one I found yesterday before I had to get home to my daughter so my husband could get to work. A nice easy one and I'll come back to get the others as driveby's another day.TFTC

Took off on my bike to get this one. Tag along met me in Bacchus and we cycled out. I am not as fit as I should be the hills were hard today.
The path was closed at the golf course end and I can see why. It is so overgrown, but the time I arrived at the cache the path was clear again. It is very pretty along the river, just need some rain now.

Found. Watch some golf

Despite the weeds and other degradation, this is a nice bit of river and hopefully will be further developed into a walkway. Cache was found easily, as were the flies.

We decided to finish the old year doing our favourite thing "Geocaching" Our 5th find for the day and our 4th one of the series. Again had not trouble finding the cache and found the cliffs opposite GZ most interesting indeed. Obviously the rabbits enjoy this area as well!! TFTC soreceysal and the time and effort you have put in to make your series a wonderful experience for your fellow geocachers.

Parked the car by the river and set off pasted the one i did the day or so ago and was on my way, not to long and i was at the cache TFTC

Thanks for the circuit walk.
It took a little bit of Christmas off the waistline!

Myself and my fellow TDC mates (Rebel Acts, Trailrunning and Blacklegend) had planned a big night of caching which had us starting in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and moving on through Bacchus Marsh and on into Werribee Gorge where we did some more challenging caches. We had a list of solved puzzles to collect along with the usual plethora of trads.
The weather was perfect for caching during the night and we all had a great time finding the various range of cache hides and types. We did a fair bit of walking / hiking during the latter part of the night, especially around the Werribee Gorge, which we found to be extremely challenging and well worth the effort.
We walked and completed this short series of caches tonight. We had fun looking for and finding each cache as we made our way around the tracks. Thanks sorceysal.

Another legendary TDC (The Demolition Crew) night caching run with the crew being myself, Quasar3671, TrailRunning and RebelActs, which took us all over the place... Starting in the Eastern Suburbs and then headed out west as far as the Bacchus Marsh area, and even took in some more of the harder Werribee Gorge caches. A large bag of finds for the night, great company as usual, and lots of laughs and great stories. My thanks to all the CO's for their great hides, which as usual, made the night possible. Apologies for some generic logs, I will do my best to remember all the finds.

Went for nice night walk to these 5 caches in the series. Thanks for the entertainment on finding and walking to these caches.

The last The Demolition Crew night caching run for the year started in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne (as usual) and went all the way to the Melton / Bacchus Marsh area. Caching during the day and into the wee hours of the morning, the crew had a great laugh as we drove the roads and grabbed the caches. The highlight of the night was definately the high terrain caches in the area, which were attempted at night. I appologise to all the CO's for this generic log, but as I was away from a pc and internet for some time I have several hundred caches to log, and I cannot remember them all. My thanks to you for the cache placement.

This was, cache # 52 of 58 finds for the Day/Night on another big run for the TDC, once again we had lots of laughs, saw some great places and some excellent caches. A great night was had by all. another part of this nice walk done. My thanks to sorceysal for the cache.

an easy find on a nice walk.... TNLN....thank you sorceysal.

The river looks in good shape along here though it has of course almost taken away the track in parts. Glad it was only 13 degrees as a few snakes no doubt make this area home.
Bold hide here
Thanks

Quick find again, and this is the spot where Tess has a swim in the big pool. Not many golfers around today, maybe the wind has scared them off. Thanks again sorceysal
