After being to an event mid afternoon during the hottest part of the daywe were happy the weather had cooled down a bit to do this rail trail.Out caching with D@geoThank you for the cache

Making a start on the rail trail with gwd.aussie after attending an event. Needing numbers to achieve a challenge cache.Thankfully it had cooled down significantly.TFTC

Easy find tftc CHM

12/13 finds today. Nini and I rode from moolap station road to clifton avenue, grabbing caches along the way. Almost fell off my bike cause I breaked and skidded on the wet grass, but we looked around the tree until we spotted the friend there, looks like the grass was trampled right therethanks for the cachepika & nini 13/10/23

Suscoe was out this morning doing a maintenance run to check some caches.
After the recent DNF we checked this one and we are pleased to say that the cache is still in place, just hanging about for the next finder. We checked the log too and it has plenty of spaces left and is nice and dry.

Couldn't find it, if it was on the tree I must be blind as the tree had no leaves. Found a tie on the tree, maybe it was meant to be on that?

Out or new E-bikes before the weather breaks. I have always wanted to do the rail trails. Now that we have bikes it a adds a whole extra layer to enjoying caching. Thank you for placing all of these caches along the trail.

In Geelong with some time to spare so a walk was in order. Nice to tick a few more off this trail! Thanks for the fun and adventure.

Found and signed.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache suscoe

I came for the CITO with no other plans. But ended up clearing Point Henry plus another 23 G2Q caches. Once again, a nice, quick and easy find.



Many thanks to suscoe for the cache.

Out for the second day this week along the rail trail. Was able to get dropped off where I ended the other day and picked up further down the line, makes it much easier. Out of the 27 caches I looked for I had 3 DNFs which will all be placed on a watch list for later on. My son joined me for the walk today and there were a lot of other people on the trail. Took a bit to find but it was hanging around.

Took longer to wipe the cobwebs off my clothing than it did to find the cache.

Took a bit of looking but luckily my love zerospooky helped find it tftc

Found with the beautiful xxx_perturbed_xxx tftc

Found without too much trouble.
All good,
TFTC

Beautiful day geocaching here, still wish the railway line operated tho.

Found with some nice cows watching over the fence TFTC

Nice easy find

Had to pass this one earlier in the day, due to some passing muggles that prevented a sneaky grab.
On the way back to grab it, a muggle was approaching from behind, so we activated the 'we are very interested in this landscape so we will stop and take a random photo' ploy to wait them out. But they stopped. And waited. Nearby. Neither of us moving. After a few minutes, and as we were facing different directions, we went bold and dove in for the grab.
Cache found, log signed and replaced as found. Still no muggle movement, so returned to the trail to keep walking to try and pass them. And they started moving again!!! None the wiser!! What an adventure!

Sleep?

Suscoe has replaced this cache today.
A nice new log and container is in place ready to be found.

Not today

Nice one!

What a beautiful day! Made some new friends on our way!

A day's outing while staying at Bellbrae with Bogonghazy had us travel into Geelong where we jumped on the bikes to do a few of the rail trail series and finishing the day in Queenscliff.
This was another clever hide, thanks again Suscoe

Found it with lance51 crank1 and deafvw

Found it with silence49 lance51 and Crank1

Found it with Silence49 and Cranky1 and DeafVW

Accompanied with silence49, lance51 and DeafVW. We hire the e bike for G2Q Rail trail for the day. We had a great time finding your cache suscoe, thank you so much for placing it.

*15 Jan 2022, Found @1:50 pm, Find # 3706.*

With so many others heading to Wangaratta mazza-g and I decided to play it safe and head here instead. A beautiful day riding on the trail with many interesting and varied hides.

**Thanks to suscoe for placing this cache.**

Came to Geelong with Jascat and our bikes to ride along the trail seeking caches along the way. TFTC

Must confess IM not looking terribly hard because this sunny late December weather has me looking more for snakes when I get into the knee high grass off the track

We were in Leopold seeing our granddaughter and knew we needed to find a cache for the day. We are finding that we need to travel further and further each day to find a cache for the day. I guess we need to head off and travel for a little while to find some new fields to cache in. We love the Bellarine Rail Trail and we are rationing the caches out for those days we need them. The cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache suscoe.

Nice little hide looking on the wrong side of the tree

Found! TFTC

A bit of a challenge to find, but managed to see it eventually.
At last we thought the weather was predictable enough to get out on the rail trail and chase some caches there. It was cool and overcast and quite windy, but few or no showers were forecast.
It was a tough day all the same. We always seemed to be going uphill when the wind was strongest, and some of the hides were truly challenging. There was the clever ones that truly had us thinking and then micros in the bush as well as some hidden in the undergrowth. There were of course others that were straightforward.
We began the day with 2 DNFs which did not auger well, one a D4 which simply did us in and the other we are maybe just blind.
All in all though it was quite an enjoyable day on the bikes and productive cache wise.

TFTC

Decide to tackle some of the rail trail today!! What a relaxing ride! Started in Herne Hill to Leopold and back.

Thanks for getting me out and about

Excellent hint I was on the right track from the word go. Well camouflaged and took some time to spot but in the end an easy one. TFTC

Apologies for C&P logs.
Thanks heaps Suscoe!

Found this morning while walking with muggle hubby, many thanks for the cache.

Catching up on a few more of these rail trail Caches after successfully getting my daughter married on the third attempt.

Didn’t have to hang around here too long!

Found it thanks for the cashe

Nice one !! Thanks for the cache

Nice one but had a real problem with muggles on this one. Tftc

We wanted just a few caches today to fill in a missing section on the G2Q trail. Easy walking along here with ilook4geo and easy finds as well. Had to be a bit cautious with plenty of dogs taking muggle owners for a walk, even more bike riders and one enthusiastic runner.
Found this cache OK and needed just a short look to spot the container.
Thanks go to suscoe for placing this cache as part of the G2Q trail.

Our for a short caching run today with goingplaces2, so decided to look for a few along the G2Q trail. Each log was signed before being returned to its proper place. TFTC.

Another day without the car. Another bike ride out this way to grab a cache so the streak can continue. A quick find here. Tftc

Heading down to Geelong for the Leopold get together event after failing miserably in Ballarat attempting a few yak caches.
After walking along the river near the old paper mills to kill some time it was now time to head closer to the event but there is always time to find a couple more.
Drove along the dirt section of Clifton Ave and found somewhere to pull over the Geowagon but not to much off the road as it was wet and muddy after yesterdays rain.
Continuing along the path towards Geelong on foot checking out the scenery as I walk on by and it is definitely farmland around here.
Did a couple of circles around GZ and I soon spotted the sneaky cache which I added my name to.

Thanks suscoe TFTC.

Found it when staying at Leopold, on a trip along the Rail Trail, during my motorcycle holiday in Australia. But today I preferred the bicycle.

100th LOG!!!

TFTC!

I started the rail trail series a few years ago now in a couple of different chunks but haven't had the chance to get back to it for a while. Today gave me the chance to tackle another small section of it, slowly creeping towards Geelong. Great fun all round, a well maintained bike trail and even better maintained series of caches. This would have taken quite a bit of effort to set up and maintain over all this time so my thanks go to all of the CO's along here for their efforts in allowing all of us to enjoy.

Suscoe enjoyed a ride along our section of the G2Q rail trail this morning.
It was that time for a maintenance run and it was such a lovely morning to be out on the trail.
A gentle breeze and lots of sunshine.

G2Q - Farmlands is well and ready to be found.

Day two of riding the bike trails in the area and we headed off the pick up some more of the caches along the path.

We had a feel for the CO's and their hides now so we picked them up a bit quicker today.

The day is warming and the eyes are peeled for moving creatures, however we made find without seeing anything wriggle.

Away with Tramyard for the weekend - it was a great time.

Found it during brief visit in Victoria Australia for Mega Event. TFTC

Since the day we had booked the air tickets for our current geocaching holiday to Australia we had been looking forward to hiking and geocaching the Bellarine Rail Trail. We had arrived in the area two nights ago and so yesterday morning we had parked up in Drysdale and hiked to Queenscliffe then taken a taxi back to Drysdale at the end of the day. Today we once again left our hired cache-mobile in Drysdale and then took a taxi to Geelong - we then hiked back to Drysdale to complete the trail. Once again we throughly enjoyed the hike in some truly lovely Australian weather and of course we also found many geocaches, and so many thanks to the COs for having provided us with the opportunity to have enjoyed yet another great day out geocaching! We soon spotted this one once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Nice one. Tftc

I'm guessing the yellow fragrant crop is canola? I'll have to do some research? TFTH SL

Got it. TFTC
Love the rail trail

Tricky find for the little one

I don’t have the greatest record with this type and still needed help from my gc partner. But found.

Found with the family. TFTC

This log is to tidy up a mess I made with GSAK . I forgot to apply the template so my finds were published with a nonsensical log.

Rather than try and edit all the logs I post this not with what the log should have been.

My apologies for the confusion caused.




A few days away with Freddo, e.gregory1 and The White Dog Gang.

Fun was had by all. Not too many dnfs

Most logs signed as FETT.

Thanks for all the caches.

Claiming a find as a beta tester.

Too much glitter for my liking.

Found whilst cycling the beautiful Geelong to Queenscliff bike trail with Freddo, Team Waldron and e.gregory1 - we've signed as F.E.T.T.
A hot day but great scenery and good co-ords made for an enjoyable ride
TFTC suscoe

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked.

Found on a short, post-Christmas sojourn to Victoria with Freddo, Team Waldron and thewhitedoggang that involved plenty of driving, cycling, walking and even some boating and wading.

The weather was on our side (albeit a little warm at times), which made for some great caching. There were plenty of varied finds, with some excellent and often tricky hides and and just a few DNFs. We signed most logbooks ‘F.E.T.T.’

Thanks suscoe for the cache.

We are spending a few days on the Bellarine peninsular before the Christmas crowd arrives and today are riding the trail from Drysdale to Geelong and back so I have the opportunity to grab a few caches on the way and back. Thanks suscoe for a string of caches along a lovely trail.

Headed off early with sassieold55 to grab some more rail trail caches before the heat and then head into town for Xmas shopping.Quite a few riders out this morning.Tftc suscoe

Found it with annabella02, tftc

A nice quick grab on the bike trail on the way to catch the ferry.
Thanks for the cache.

Grabbed a heap of this great series this afternoon before retiring to the in laws’ beach house for the night (thanks guys!).

Apologies for the somewhat generic log - need to keep my word count up but want to show appreciation for the COs’ efforts.

The only cache for the afternoon that the iPhone struggled with - wanted us quite a way from the path, but with a little geo-sense we made the quick find. TFTC and the afternoons entertainment.

LeeLee had the day to herself so she decided to grab the bike and make a start on G2Q trail.
A fresh morning but perfect for a ride.
Enjoying this section of the trail, the view of the farmlands.
TFTC they are a nice distance apart so far.

Out on the deadly for a day riding the Trail , finding as many caches as we could, most were easy finds but some took a fair search til they were found
TFTC

Went for short walk and got this cache
TFTC

Out for a walk on Christmas Day, combined with some cache finds - Merry Christmas to me!

After an exciting morning discovering what Santa had left, followed by a filling lunch, it was time to take everyone outside for some fresh air and sunshine. We took our puppy along as well, to initiate her into the ways of a GeoDog. The GeoKids were super helpful today too, making most of the finds.

This one took a little longer than others to find today. GeoHubby got a bit impatient and looked from a different direction, which paid off!

Log signed and all replaced as found.

TFTC!

Logging with CO permission. Cache has now been repaired.
TFTC success.

Suscoe enjoyed a walk in the early morning while it was still cool today.
Well the Farmlands has gone missing again and so our replacement came in handy today.
So for all you cachers out there, G2Q - Farmlands is up and going again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy the trail!!

Suscoe is disabling this one, it appears there might be an issue out in the farmlands. Will drop by soon.

Cycling along the rail trail to find G2Q series caches

Thanks suscoe

Suscoe dropped by this afternoon to do some maintenance checking.
After a recent log we thought that this one required some attention.
A new "O" ring and a new log sheet were popped in place.
All good now.

This little blighter took some finding but I suppose that's OK for find number 100!

Log is damp and appears to be moldy.

TFTC

One for Mr Blouse. Excellent clues and a nice day out to make our fiftieth find!

Wind made this one easy to spot. Branches blow one way, bison tubes blow a different way. TFTC.

I attempted to complete the G2Q series along the BRT in one day shortly after publication, back in January 2014. Starting in Queenscliff I only made it as far as Leopold. Obviously it's taken much longer than that one day - it's several years later and with another attempt today from Geelong to Leopold I still didn't finish it !
With my car in for a service I thought I'd use the time productively and started cycling east from South Geelong. After 15 kilometres (and five hours later) I had to return to the service garage to pick up my car, with my geocaching mission still unaccomplished. 27 caches were found but it was a record day of sorts - a whole 9 DNFs including a streak of 4 DNFs in a row. The day's outcome was as follows:
.
Despite some lengthy searches (and the bogans who have vandalized so many of the signs, baseline(s) and benches with unsightly graffiti) it was a great day out in the sunshine. I hadn't been on this trail for a while and had forgotten how enjoyable it is along here.

After a 10 minute search I could have sworn there was no cache here. And then I found it.
(I think Schrodinger hid it, then Heisenberg moved it...)
Thanks, suscoe.

I cycled the Bellarine Rail Trail from Geelong to Leopold this morning. The weather was nice, and I enjoyed the ride. Found a fair few of the caches on offer along the way as well. The odd one or two escaped me but I suppose that's only to be expected. Cheers and TFTC

After the recent DNF X 2 we checked this one out this morning.
Strange when you can't find your own cache!!!
So a replacement cache is now in the original position.
The Bat is still doing what bats do!!!!
