TFTC. morris1100 for your cache Euroa Butter Factory that we found today.
We are staying at our daughter’s farm block just about mid way between Shepparton and Violet Town. A lovely start to to the week with sunshine. Went out driving to Longwood and then back via Euroa, caching as we went. It has been a longtime since we have been this way. We did a stint at a BlazeAid camp in Longwood after fires and I (Hans) had done many miles cycling out this way.
All caches were found in good order and mostly quickly.
Find Count: 16296

dalerious and I were out and about before dawn this morning after enjoying the night with our friends Big Grin.

We had limited sleep but wanted to go out caching, and as we work Sunday afternoon our trip had to be close to home.
Euroa was picked, and as I had quite a few caches there to find and sign, I was happy with that choice.

All caches were found in good condition Cool.

What an impressivebuilding. We definitely were not expecting something this large or grand Smile.

Thank you morris1100.

After a pre-dawn assault on Balmattum Hill, and watching the morning sun light up Euroa from it's summit, catnap777 and I came down into town for a bakery breakfast and a few more caches before the day really heated up. Cool
At this time of morning, this one was a nice easy uninterrupted parkandgrab found in good condition from excellent coords. Big Grin

TFTC morris1100, the Butter Factory is such an absolutely beautiful building neither of us had ever noticed before. I think from now on, coming into Euroa, I will be turning left before the sale yards. [^]

I’m having this week off as others at work had the Easter break off so it was my turn and another trip up North to Mildura was planned.
I left Melbourne nice and early on Friday to get a few caches in on the way up to Culgoa.
My main aim of the weekend at Mildura was to finish the Turtle series and to start the Paddle Steamer series so all good on those 2.
So after a great 3 days it was time to head back South to my next destination which was Boort as I had seen it on the map and had never been there.
I was not taking the most direct route as I wanted to drive through some old towns that are now only dots on the map and I want to take the back roads as well.
After a nice night in Boort and boy did it rain heavily overnight and I was quiet happy that I was in cabin for this stay.
I left nice early in the morning to keep tracking South.
I have finally reached Euroa which is my destination for the night but before checking in I might as well find a few caches before hand.
A great looking old building and I would love to have had a wander around inside.
Great to see reuse of an old factory and not left to fall into disrepair.

Thanks morris1100 TFTC.

We are heading home from Wangaratta and making a few stops on the way.
This is not our first visit to the butter factory. My wife's cousin had her wedding here about 6 years ago. It was good to have another look around at the gardens here.
The cache was an easy find but didn't match the hint.
Thanks for the cache morris1100.

Day one of the Wangaratta oddessey with AlphaDeltaIndigo and Ying~Yang. Melbourne to Mt Buller, started in the heat, ended in the cold, but still somehow muggy all along the way. We mostly focussed on trands today, with a few multi's here and there.

This was find 9 of 17. TFTC morris1100!

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC morris1100

Sadly the Log book was full and wet

Found on a Vic high Country trip

It has now got to the stage where we have over 750 draft logs waiting to be completed. These range back over at least a couple of years.

We are not a fan of generic logs but with everything that has been on our plates recently we reluctantly have to admit this may be the only way we can get this back log cleared. If your cache is in our backlog it usually means it is one that we wanted to spend more time creating a much more bespoke log than this. But we are not managing to achieve that goal. So in the interests of getting the backlog cleared we have decided to resort to this long form of TFTC as a way of getting a large number of them cleared.

We apologise for the lack of commentary specific to your cache or event. We are somewhat targeted in what we go after. There are unfounded caches within a few kilometres of our home which we published before we started 8 years ago. We have just never got around to o looking for them. We like unusual cache types, puzzles in particular, older caches, and tend to target a much more wider group of caches when we travel. We like remote caches and caches that bring us to an interesting place. It is likely that this cache found its way into our find list because it fits one of these criteria.

As cache owners we appreciate the effort that goes into hiding and maintains caches so thank you for that.

A road trip up to Mulwala with day1976, we cached our way up. Had the kayak on the roof, for some water fun tomorrow.
We stopped off here briefly and I spotted the cache as we drove up.
 
06-Feb-21
Ilukaperi and I had decided on a road trip up to Mulwala. There is an empty family home there, which I needed to check on and so we strapped the kayak to the roof and loaded up some snacks and made our way there once she finished work. But on the way we stopped to grab quite a few caches that all help us with different challenges we are working on.

It was at about this point in the day that I realised that ilukaper was on fire with her finding ability. Something that has been missing for the last few outings. Good to have her back.
