Making way for a new railway line

Very clever, loved this camo!

Found with @PeprExplores

Quick find for us. LOVED the camouflage. Favourite.

See "Red Hill Express - Engine House (GC4PRWH)" for my general comments about doing this amazing 'Red Hill Express' series with a 10yo geokid.

Tested our stealth skills getting back into the path

Great camouflage

Pretty cool my partner calls. Lots of holes to look into.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to BorisB&Natasha for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Great trail. Lots of walkers, lots of bikes and only one e scooter.

Everything is deceiving along the Redhill Express including this cache hide, I was so thankful that my geo senses were switched on. left travel bug.

Fantastic camo! Thanks for the series!

clever hide as we continue on our Red Hill journey. TFTC

It was a great day on our bikes completing the Red Hill Express trail with Crustyvarmint, juzzmagic and Matt. By now the team was on its toes so this cache turned up quickly.

Thanks BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear for all these imaginative hides.

Another clever hide as Knight_shift, Juzzmagic and I enjoy our ride along the trail.
Thanks BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear. Another favourite point for this one.

Another brilliantly camouflaged treasure. This is an amazingly good trail. We are having so much fun. TFTC

Lots of moo moo moo while locating this cache. TFTC

Found it

Bit slushy on the trail today but still managed to find this one quickly. TFTC

Spent a while on the wombat holes but found this one soon enough. “That is sick” according to geokid

This time Emandel beat me to it.

Easy find but cool cache!

Thank you for another nice hide!

Another good hide Thank you ️

Ohhhh my gosh wot a great hiding place. ️️️

Another cool cache thank you

Tftc , great day for a little exercise and some caches

A it easier after the last one. Tftc

With an event on Elephant Rock that look amazing a crew of Neville_devil, AusFox;, Dromaniax and Donutholes was arranged for an early morning ferry ride and a day loaded with caches. Key caches were targeted for their D/T ratings and other because of the degrees from home for other challenges. Then there was also some unloved that was begging as well. All up it was a fantastic day with great mates with caching providing a good excuse to be out and about.
AusFox and Donutholes had to head home early so they caught the ferry back while we continued on a long day caching our way back home by car around the bay.
The D/T of 2/2 was very attractive for Dromaniax are working on a challenge that requires that D/T.
thank you BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear for this series

Nice Find
TFTC BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear

It was a very early start as team NADDS headed off for a caching expedition on the Morning Peninsula. Team NADDS consists of neville_devil, AusFox;, Donutholes, Dromaniax and Sims_family. Go NADDS. We had put together a list of caches we wanted to target, and we were also happy to pick up other caches along the trail. We were blessed with stunning weather, and it is always great fun to cache with a group of mates. We caught the first ferry across and picked up an Adventure Lab, and then started to work along the East Coast.

Mr Dromaniax has been working on 2/2 caches for a Challenge and here we found a lovely cluster of 2/2 caches, we suspect that they are 2/2 caches because this used to be the habitat of Tchoo Tchoo Trains.

The cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear.

Almost finished thanks for these

Good find not very hard

Happy New Year
Last January we spent two days working on this trail, one from each end. After those two outings we still had three to complete in the middle. As it was very hot today, a shady Red Hill trail felt like a good option, so we started in the middle and made our way to the start of the trail and back, collecting the three unfound caches along the way. It really is a fabulous trail.
This was our first of the three for today. Wary of the long grass on a hot day like today, we made our way off the path and with good geo senses we were able to spot the clever camo here.
Thanks for another great cache and this great trail.

Great hiding idea! The family of cows said hello.

Another awesome cache, spotted it as we were walking up abd signed the log, thanks for another cache in the series ) loving it so far

Between staying with a friend on the peninsular and the home i was able to spend some tome walking part of this rail trail on a pleasant day. Another very neat hide TFTC BorisB&Natasha

Another great hide

Found itttt Luca and Aidan, tomato catt, dry and clean full of goodies

Found it

Very clever!! TFTC

Looked a few times here

Great one

Great hide kids enjoyed this one

Out on my own today enjoying this walk along with many others whilst looking for some clues. Nice easy find here. Thanks for the cache baorisB&Nastasha

Thanks!

Nice hide....

Found it with Swilks TFTC

Tricky one! found it!

????

Started this series and took a few days to complete the whole thing. Really enjoyed searching for some really clever caches and must say none of them were disappointing at all, such great ideas. Collected all the clues and found The Pines and was able to unlock the cache. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing and maintaining this series

A pleasant morning for a walk, and we are sharing the trail with cyclists, walkers and dog walkers this morning. Nobody else seems to be vearing off the track to look for caches like us! Thanks for the reminder about the clues, we remembered to take a note of it. SL at 9.57am #7332 TFTC BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear

Enabling while it seems safe to do so

A few muggles out enjoying the trail today.

All had masks on. What determines exercise? Bike riding? Running?

A slow pedal to the next cache?

Disabling till life is normal again

Another nice collection! TFTC!

Nice day in Red Hill South decided to collect some smiles. TFTC

#3980 We are down from NE Vic for the long weekend for a bit of caching fun on the Peninsula. Today we targeted the Red Hill series which has been on our wish list for a long time. We started from the Merricks end at 9:45am and finished up in Red Hill for lunch. A bewt walk on a bewt day completing a bewt GC series . A few muggles enjoying the trail today but it didn't interfere too much with completing the well hidden caches.

Stopping all caches for us . Well we don't want to miss any clues for the final . TFTC.

Very adorable cows! Great area. TFTC

Timely to escape the smoke and fire threats in the NE and catch up with some buddies in Somers AND get out on the MTB to explore the trail since it’s not really beach weather. A great series and so much care and thought has gone into creating lots of fun hides. TFTC series

The camouflage for this cache had moved slightly or had not been replaced correctly so as I approached GZ I could see the sistema lying on the ground. After signing the log and showing my sons we returned the cache to its hidden location.

Thank you BorisB&Natasha and Nut Bear for this cache and the series.

This was a nice quick find. TFTC.

Out to complete another section of this series. Very popular track with bike, horses and walkers.

Found at 11:49 AM GAFF1.
Another nice little camo that makes you smile when you eventually spot it
Thanks BorisB&Natasha

Trekking along the red hill rail trail for the first time with a local mazzystar. Something looks slightly out of place . TFTC

Found

thanks

Another quick find TFTC

299 and counting! Hope the next one is a goodie for my 300!! I like this though!

Another great hide

TFTC, very clever cache. Nice walking trail. It was a little bit windy and cold.

The grandgeokids are getting better at sniffing out the caches as the day goes on.
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc

Easiest find sofar. Tftc

Another on that appears to be falling apart

Heute ist es arschkalt und es regnet fast pausenlos. Da wollten wir eigentlich zu Philips Island. Irgendwann haben wir den Plan aber verworfen wegen den beiden Gründen aus Satz 1. Umgeswitcht haben wir auf dieses Ziel. Ein Trail mit so vielen tollen Favoriten! Oh mann, wirklich richtige tolle Caches waren hier dabei. Leider mussten wir irgendwann abbrechen und haben einige ausgelassen. Es gab ein Regenschauer nach dem nächsten und die Dämmerung drohte ebenfalls. Am Ende konnten wir wenigstens den Bonus mitnehmen. Auch einige Schleifen bleiben auf dem Weg zurück.
Thank you so much!

Leider war es heute mit 10 °C und Regen ziemlich mieses Wetter, sodass fazzyOne und ich unseren Plan nach Philips Island zu fahren über Bord geworfen haben. Statt dessen sind wirmal wieder auf Dosenjagd gegangen, was auch nicht unbedingt besser bei dem Wetter war. Diese Runde der Abschluss und der hat sich wirklich gelohnt! Tolle Bastelarbeiten, bei den meisten Dosen waren die so gut, dass wir ganz schön suchen mussten. Leider schafften wir bis zum Einbruch der Dämmerung nicht alle Dosen und zwischen drin hat es auch immer wieder geschüttet, sodass wir leider abbreichen mussten. Trotzdem danke für diesen coolen Trail.

Another inspection of the enormous pine trees was taken around GZ before this cache was located. Great day out with geo husband who made the find. TFTC

Down on the Peninsula for a week's holiday and doing some random caches while we do the tourist thing. We decided to finish the first half of the Red Hill Rail Trail which had caught our eye due to the large number of favourites on some of the caches. This was the tenth cache for the day and after the GPS had us going around in circles it was Mrs Pooky who spotted something that needed further investigation and bingo she soon had the cache in hand to Mr Pooky's surprise. Another very well constructed cache. TFTC. and bringing us to this walking track.

We had headed down to the Mornington Peninsula for a day trip and we ended up at Red Hill for lunch. Realising we were near this trail, we went for a walk and I stopped to look for some caches along the way. I really enjoyed the walk along the trail and the quality and diversity of the hides. Apologises - I'm way behind with logs. TFTC and the series.

After a very hot day yesterday, today promised to be a bit cooler so we decided to head out on the Red Hill power trail. We parked at Red Hill and set off with a packed lunch and lots of water which was a good thing as the return trip took 4 hours.
The caches are all great and a lot of thought and effort has gone in the the creation of this cache trail.
Thanks for the placement and maintenance of theses caches.

Nice cache although the camouflage is beginning to fall apart a bit making it a bit too obvious. Took traceable to move to a a new location

Starting to be thankful that the trail is so shaded; might not have been quite as enjoyable without all the shade to stop in.

found a Path Tag in this one;left a TB for the next finder.

Found with *The Empire, Omegaman* and *Jentrek* as we tackled the series along a rail trail with our bikes. What an awesome ride along this great area.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Have had this series on my to do list for awhile now and finally this week I had the chance to tackle it.
Perfect weather and great caching companions made this a very enjoyable day, and the quality of hides was awesome.
Cheers for the cache and series.

What a lovely day to go for a bike ride. The sun was shining and the company was great. We headed out at midday after doing a bit of a car shuffle and rode mainly down hill for most of the way. We did encounter a big group of horse riders that we tried to stay in front of. Sometimes it worked. We all had a few laughs and we found them all
Thanks for placing the great series. It is always great fun when they are different hides.

Good find.

Nice

The hide seems to be deteriorating but still should be a challenge to find.
TFTC

We picked this cache up at 12:35pm.

SirJ-Oz and I have had this series of caches on 'the list' for a very long time, but due to a variety of things ranging from my hip to just being generally lazy, we haven't managed to come and collect them, until today. I was a little late, but we eventually got going and had a very pleasant day collecting this series and a number of other caches in the area.

Thanks for taking over and managing the cache and the series BorisB&Natasha.

Find #3760. Found @ 12:34 with LouiseAnn

The plan for today was to knock off the Red Hill Trail caches by bike, and grab some others along the way.

Another nice quick find. For some of them it takes longer (and more effort) to get off and on the bikes than it does finding the cache.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache BorisB&Natasha

Taking advantage of great weather and walked from Red Hill to Merricks and back (after lunch at Merricks). Enjoyed the caching on the track but not enough time to all of them so I picked some at random whilst I was circling around the other walkers I was with. I looked for this one a few years ago with no luck. This is well constructed and clever hide. TFTC

Today i decided to do the Red Hill Express trail on bike.
I usually like to do these sorts of trails on Fridays when more people are at work but no luck this weekend.
A cold and windy day had me freezing the whole time.

Went straight to this one. Nice construction here.

Thanks for the cache

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Checked on this one while doing a maintenance run. Everything is in good condition.

Nice hide
