Cache found on the Joy of SECS tour with four-fun, Freddo, thewhitedoggang and Team Waldron. There were a stack of boxes to find so we pushed on. We even had a quick round of Mountopoly and a couple of Powertrails to add to the fun. The weather was cool and sometimes icy so wet boots were the order of the day.


Thanks to jgc3 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A 3 day caching expedition with Freddo, Astro, WhiteDogGang an Four Fun.

Apologies for the generic log but we did a few trails and some of the Mountopoly series. We also did most of the BLE series.

The mozzies were full on at times and it rained most of the first day.

This cache was found on the Joy of SECS Tour 2013. Thanks for the cache. Our group had a lot of fun this weekend. We were in a rush today and there was more caches to find. Woot.

This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found when on 'The Joy of SECS' tour/assault along with Freddo, Astro, Team Waldron & White Dog Gang. Much fun was had, very wet boots were experienced and many caches were found including this one! Very nice views

Replaced with a new log book wrapped in a bag. Cache is also in a zip lock bag.
Please keep rope around the cache and plastic bag on the outside of cache, due to a broken lock.

All fixed ready to go again.

Will replace when possible.

Saturated. The container locking clip seems broken.

Found but couldn't sign. Saturated. Wonderful location. TFTC.

Found but needs full maintenance and replacement. Completely soaked.

Caching with mtgfarrar - found GZ but no sign of the cache. After reading the last few logs we decided to install a replacement cache. Screw top plastic container with log book and some small swaps.

We are new to geocaching, we were out with some friends for the after, fellow cachers, indy-au, based on the logs this cache was not there so indy-au, replaced it & posted logs etc, so others can find what we were not able to

we found the replaced cache

Cache missing. Installed replacement cache to keep the series going

Cache was missing. Installed replacement cache to keep the series going

Once reading description quick find TFTC

Quick find on our geocaching adventure!
TFTC,
Team Danden are at it again!

Easy find on a windy afternoon. The lug on the lid is broken, leaving the container open, there was a bit of water in it. Luckily the plastic bag containing the log was (and is now) well closed, leaving the log book relatively dry.

Easy to find great view. Clip MIA from the box.

great little work, cache was easily found, signed and put back in between muggle walkers

Found it no worries and had it signed without interruption from passersby. Thx JGC3 for the hide.

We should've waited in the car for the passing shower of rain, as was suggested! Instead it passed while we were signing the log! Thanks for the cache and the view of the ocean.

Good cache . Great spot.TFTC

Sneaky little hide, never seen one like this. Hot day so plenty of muggles making their way to the beach. SL tftc

Out with Aussie M & M grabbing some more of the caches put out for the BLE. I was lucky enought to attend but sadly did not have enough time or energy to get many of the caches that weekend.
A big day out, with much success.
Thanks

Found on day 3 of our Mt Gambier trip. A very pleasant day caching with mogni.

Walked past this one, but soon retraced our steps. The cache clip is broken. We did our best to repair it, but failed to do so.

TFTC jqc3.

Nice place for a cache,I could do nice friendly ones like this all day long. The clips broken, but the contents are all clean and dry at the moment. tnln sl tftc

Thanks

easy find while getting some photos of the beach

Heading to Warrnambool via Portland today after the thoroughly enjoyable Big Little Event... Decided to grab some 'smilies' on the way out of Nelson...

Made a nice straight forward find... Enjoyed the walk & chatting to other cachers who had the same idea... Beaut view's...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

Thanks jgc3 for the cache & bringing me here...

Monday at BLE and after packing up, Dennisc52 and I left the campsite and parked his car. Well, mine was already dusty and dirty and his was still clean

Dennisc52 and I managed to achieve locus cache 25 times before we parted company and took separate routes back to Adelaide.

However I hung around Nelson for a bit longer and so, by the time that I stopped at Millicent for the night, I had gathered up another 19 locus cache smileys (with 1 DNF ), making this a 45 cache day [^]

A lovely area and a great walk in.... we even found the cache too

SL. TFTC jgc3

Found with locus cache while attending the Nelson BLE. Clip on lid is broken. TFTC.

Lovely little walk, but I had to be super quick as there were voices behind me! When I got to the viewing platform there were Muggles there too, but all was safe and well by then! Cache #1,474.

Last cache for the morning before the family boat trip. Fantastic views of the pounding surf. Beach looked lovely to swim at but I heeded the signs! Thanks for the cache.

Really enjoying the different cache hides and the interesting locations we are visiting as I travel with J+J.au caching the area. SL..TFTC

The surf is looking awesome, can hear the birds, but can not see them. TFTC

Suscoe plus two walked over the dunes and enjoyed delightful ocean views.
Cache found and signed.
The latch is broken.
Thanks to jgc3 for this cache.

A beautiful beach but we were glad that we had fitted in a swim at Estuary Beach yesterday as it was much warmer then. A great view. TFTC. (The clip holding the lid shut has snapped.)

Found during the Big Little Event in Nelson. Caching with Whites on Windsor, lolfrog, and Team Pedal Pushers.

Great spot

TFTC

Found during the BIG Little Event with Cracka1

Another case of leaving the pushbike alone at the end of a walk
I hope it doesn't get upset and start 'chain throwing tantrums' again.
Like it did last time I rode it to the start of a bushwalk and left in next to a tree for eight hours before I returned to ride back to camp [:o]
I wouldn't be gone that long this time, so fingers crossed it wouldn't notice
The view at the end was superb, thanks [^]
And the cache nice and easy to find

In Town for the BLE. An early morning start with jcody, Cracka1 and S4phire.

Out and about for the BLE and just enough time this morning to run round and grab a few caches before going on the cruise.

Found at 10:05

I love a boardwalk.

The sea look wild.

Thank you to jgc3 for this great caching experience.

After registering at the BLE tent around noon, it was time to head out and indulge in some more caching in this virgin caching territory!

Quick find after a pleasant walk, and enjoyed the view too.

Thanks

Was in the area for the Big Little Event and making an attempt to get all the caches in the area.

Quick find on our travels - nice view. TFTC.

Number one for what turned out to be personal best day. Wondered what the object in the surf to the SE was and found out it was just rocks. TFTC

Found with Mishion during the big little event. Put on some bathers, dug into the sand & got a bit wet. TFTC.

At the BLE Event in Nelson. Caching with Whites on Windsor, lolfrog, and jeffeddy. Great cache, TFTC.

1936th cache found by WazzaAndWenches. Log signed at 21:19Hrs.

We're in Nelson for the Big Little Event over the weekend.

We ducked out the beach road to try and capture a few more sunset photos and managed to find a couple of munzees and a cache as well.

Thank you jgc3.

#3481 Our first cache for the day and what a beauty to commence the day with! There were a few cars in the car park - after our very late start to the day it was now lunch time. Luckily the walkway was "Queen proof" as no tripping occurred today despite keeping an eye out for some Hooded Plovers.....no luck there unfortunately. A very apt cache was soon located which was nicely hidden. Our thanks to jgc3 for bringing us to such a lovely area, we continued onto the viewing platform enjoying the beach scenery. Cheers

Took: Nothing
Left: Eyre Escape pathtag

Our first encounter with muggles who thought we must have dropped our camera. Loved the hide though.

Found while attending the Big Little Event. Grabbed this one while exploring the island. We enjoyed the views of the ocean and the walk along this track. TFTC jgc3

No photos of the view to be had, as we did this at night - might have to get back to this one in the daytime. TFTC.

Quick easy find at the Big Little Event
Left dragonfly and leaf, butterfly and saw

Travelled to the local area for the big little event and hence logging as many caches as possible in the next few days.
Day 2 and cache 27.

Fantastic view, nice cool breeze!

Drove here from Mt Gambier this morning, mostly just to go to Victoria for a couple of hours. We walked in and found the cache quickly then had a great time on the beach. Great views indeed.
Should have left the beach going TB here but it didn't even occur to me until after we left.

Was standing looking at the beach when noticed this nearby

Enjoy BLE series runs
Thanks jgc3 for bring me here and cache

Easy find on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Great views of the ocean at the lookout.
