BLE18.. Even Moores caches to find Nelson, Victoria, Australia
By jgc3 on 04-Dec-12. Waypoint GC42E4B

Freeing area for new hides.

Found... little bit off from the course.

TFTC. Not quite where we thought it would be .... I'll blame the signal strength on the phone ..... or lack of it!!

We went out for a day's caching with SuperPop around the Nelsen- Port Macdonnell area trying to clean up a few caches around here as well as enjoying a lovely pub lunch at Port Macdonnell.

We had a dnf on this one back in Dec 2012, we did a quick check and found that the last few logs were smiley's so we decided to give it another go. We had a very pleasant walk along the river and although the rain was threatening it held off which made it even better and to top that off we spotted the cache from a distance as we approached and we are happy to say that the log book now contains our names.

We have no idea how we missed it last time but at least it's a smiley now.
Thanks for placing a cache in such a pleasant location.

Initially I didn't walk in far enough for this and was struggling to make a find and then an aha moment and there it was plain as day TFTC

passing through today decided to detour to complete some of this trail TFTC

Found with Geojill_11

Streak Day 174

Out and about with Deep _99. Quick grab. TFTC

Another nice easy one. TFTC

So it is time to come back to Nelson and finish grabbing all of these caches. Today I had the company of blinky and the geodog.
Thanks

Found with Liz and Bruce on a good day for caching. This area has clearly been burnt although is now well recovered.

We ventured to Nelson this morning with Alansee to do some of the caches which we knew we would enjoy in this scenic location and we were not disappointed. We encountered emus and kangaroos on the forest tracks but luckily not too close up We found a variety of hides and thanks to jgc3 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Decided to do some evening caching. A delightful drive and wonderful not worrying about muggles. Eventually the GPS behaved!

Another find for Geo-hubby on out 13th Anniversary trek! Wasn't exactly under a log... such a beautiful day to be out in nature.

Catching up on logs , found with relle77 .

Our last day at Mount Gambier, before heading east, to catch up with muggle friends.
After lunch, we drove south to Nelson for some sightseeing and caching.
Lots of nice country to drive through, and we found a good variety of hides.

Cache was located after a short search, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, jgc3, for us and others to find.

TFTC. Nice area.

Out for a late arvo/night caching experience with geo dad and Beaker.

My first find in Nelson, good to get started on some caching here as we've been staying here for a few days now. I always enjoy visiting Nelson and exploring the forest. Thanks for the hunt this evening

Another great weekend with my geofamily, plenty of miles and smiles with a few geocaches found along the way.

A quick find in the dark.

Thanks for the cache jgc3.

A nice quick find. Well after dark.

close to our camp for the night.
found cache and dropped of TB

Wondered over the border to find a few caches today.
Didn't find it where hint said it was and 9metres away from GZ TFTC

We had an overnight stop at Nelson so headed out to find as many of the BLE as possible. This gave us a small tiki our of the town.
We found this about 9m from where GZ said it should be.
Thanks for placing this cache jgc3

Another quick find as it was getting dark. Thanks jgc3.

Third find in the BLE series today. Another quick easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Had a little glitch with GPS here and caused us some confusion however we persevered and found it. TFTC

After having tea with fellow cachers, Geomum & Geodad decided the night before that we would head out & have a family caching day today. We had saved a fair few into our phones for the day. This was the 15th one on our list. We had done a few of these not that long ago but only got so far & had no service so we are back. We are enjoying the 4x4 tracks that lead us to these caches. TFTC

Found It

Another sunny day and another drive, enjoying discovering the area

Last cache of the day
I DNFed this on my last attempt and without paying too much attention to either the hint or the GPS, it was located quickly this time around.
Thanks

Found no problem. Left TB

Dropped off bug and added picture

Nice easy drive by
TFTC

Clearly we must have been feeling homesick, gee Vic hasn't changed much since we left!@ A trip to Nelson seemed to be the order of the day, unfortunately we weren't planning on attending a BLE event but that didn't mean we couldn't find a couple (or a lot) of smileys while we were out this way! Found relatively quickly, TFTC (and the series) jgc3! Really, really wish we had a 4WD for this one in summer!

I'm spending christmas in Nelson. This is a nice opportunity to log some of the BLE caches. Merry christmas!

On the great vic bike ride. Got into camp early then set off to find some of the caches and explore the area with our bikes. Found some beautiful locations, and also some deep sand that we couldn't ride through, but had lots of fun. TFTC

Coordinates were bit out but found eventually .. tftc

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!

Cache and log both seem to be missing

Had such a blast last weekend in this area had to come back to get this track done, arrived to find the track thick with smoke from the dump burn off, through I went, quickly as the smell of burning rubber was not overly pleasant. A nice quick find, though GZ was a little off for me and the hint could of been so many places, but something caught my eye and I got my first cache for the day. TFTC

trying out 4x4 T Dolphin patch L Bird SL TFTC

Yes! after not finding it last time, whilst attending the BLE, back in Nelson for the day to catch up on some more caches. After reading through the logs again and circling about 10m from GZ the cache was spotted from the right angle. tftc

We stopped , we looked but with lots of other drivers out and about over Easter I was not prepared to to stay parked on the road looking.
Will be back

A short search for this one turned up the goods. Thanks for the cache.

#3578 After doing our CITO bit, then heading back into the Event to sign off and thank the organisers for their tremendous effort, this was our first physical cache for the day. As Locus Cache also said, persistence paid off for us here too. It took us much longer to locate the cache than the difficulty rating would suggest (perhaps it was still too early in the morning for us ). But find we did....eventually - we just couldn't bring ourselves to start the day with a DNF. Thanks for the challenge jgc3, took nothing but left a

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 [^]

This bloody cache had me hunting for ages and really wishing Dennisc52 was still with me to help find it!

However stubborn me was not going to desist and eventually the cache was found!

Found with GoShaz and Nicko57 whilst attending the BLE in Nelson Vic....Fun caching in the scrub with other teams...had 'ourselves a convoy' at one stage...TFTC

Moore moore moore,

Found this neat cache during BIG little EVENT. Our thanks go out to all involved in the event and to all who have placed caches for the event.
Our apologize for the late logs, and the boilplate plate logs.
Due to events happening in our lives just after the event, the logging had to be put on hold until now.
We had a fantastic time, met some new caches and even bumped into a few old ones from afar.
Many, many thanks to all involved.

One of many as a part of the BLE. Many thanks for this one and the others also. Found with Debs22 and MurchUnearthers. TFTCes

TFTC. SL. Found during my attendance at the BIG Little Event at Nelson Vic

In Town for the BLE. On the road with jcody, Cracka1 and S4phire.

I don't think I would've found this one if not for Snaphappy and Happy Pants driving along in their 4WD and pointing me in the right direction. I think the co-ords are about 15m out. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

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