Hinterland Drive Piedmont, Victoria, Australia
By BaLuke on 17-Mar-14. Waypoint GC4R8X8

Quick find no in the grass, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO

TFTC,Travelling into Victoria to visit LGA's I have not visited and find new things to see as a tourist.Also bringing my finds on every calendar day to more than 15 for my milestone year on the 28th May 2025.No internet, had to guess, visited trackables.

Had to wait out a group of muggle bicyclists, before seeking out the cache.A very quick find though, as the cyclists pedalled off to Noogee way.TFTC.

Nice and easy

I had intended to write individual logs for my finds today and had millions of great ideas running through my head as I drove between caches starting in Bonnie Doon and ending in Wonthaggi. I'm now in Box Hill, utterly exhausted and on the whole I have forgotten which cache is which. Where possible I will note something pertinent to the current cache but I do know this. If I had tried to plan my route through beautiful scenery I doubt that I could have done a better job than what I ended up with. Rolling green hills, tall stately trees in forested areas, brilliant blue skies, masses of black cattle wandering along the bright green paddocks , little white lambs and sheep , alpacas and then all this gave way to acres and acres of vines. Oh so much more attractive than the km after km of solar panels that I passed yesterday.Signed log as SG. A good quick find here on a lovely drive.

Nice, easy find on the way to Noojee. TFTC!

Got off on a bit of a family adventure up to Nooj today to hike the water falls and lunch at the Noojee Pub. Love it here! Cache was in excellent shape. Thanks!

TFTC on a pretty sunny day

Found it and my boyfriend stepped in human shit

BlueBM and I are out today giving the sidecar with it's new "tub seat" a try. This is our first cache for the day..not sure how many we'll get done as getting bike gear and helmet on and off every so many kilometres on a hot day can soon lose its' charm lol. This cache was quickly found, log signed and our day continues. TFTC BaLuke

Quick easy find on our way to Mt Bulla tftc

We had the chance to head out into our local area to do some caching and revisit some areas we have not been to for some time. Some lovely areas visited and found a few things we had not seen before.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache ahomburg.**SKI Pair****Greetings from traveling Australians.

Heading back home after visiting family in Gippsland, I deviated from my usual route through Nayook to search for this one. A quick find of a familiar container, all in good dry condition, neatly tucked away. TFTC ahomburg

First one on a trip to noojee with my grandpa this one was nice and easy and a great cache to start with TFTC find 155

Hubby got this one. TFTC

Good drive by

Found it

Found this on another drive around this awesome area.

Driving this area is always a pleasure and on a sunny Sunday arvo what could be better. This one was a nice quick grab. TFTC

Thanks for the cache BaLuke, in town to get a cache in the hills. Stopped here a few times, mostly to pull the Van over to let the faster cars pass, on the way to Poplars. This time I stopped to sign the line, and add a smiley to my map.
Regards from Victourer

Easy find thanks!

Nice hiding spot so fun to find good job

Nic easy drive by today. Thanks for the smiley

Kids excited for our second for the day

YAY - found 'Hinterland Drive' today. Was in town to try out the Noojee Pub with friends and discovered that there may have been a cache or two nearby so off I went. The cache was safe and sound in its hidey hole. TFTC BaLuke. The log was signed, cache replaced and I was off.

PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me on my great Noojee adventures today.

Tftc - hint was not particularly helpful but easy find regardless

Great little find on our way to Noojee

Thanks for this confidence builder!

Easy to find, nice spot.

No more bush bashing for the day! Thankfully an easy drive by. Tftc BaLuke

Last grab for the day as we raced into town hoping the local cafe would be still open so we could refuel on food and coffee.

Found it. Thanks. Great outing.

Too easy. And I normally hate micros! TFTC

Geodad brigstar found this before most got out of the car
Thank you for the cache

Nice drive by cache. Thanks

Saw the name then saw the cache. No gps needed

Found with Omegaman1971

Another weekend and another day out caching with my good mate Omegaman1971, our plans changed three time, we had planned to go down the peninsula and do the dog tails series, then it changed to the northern suburbs to do a couple of lab adventures and then I get a message just as I had fallen asleep about a new series on my old home turf, I spent most of my life growing up and living in the Upper Yarra, most of the locations had memories of my life in the valley. So plans were made for a real early start, it was -1 when I woke up in Warragul, thankfully my car lives in the garage so I did not have to scape the ice off it.

This is one of the caches found today. Was good to finally turn this one into a smile.

Thanks Ahomburg for the cache.

Logs signed as rebelacts or RAOM or OMRA

Easy

Find #2 of the day.

We are currently in Neerim South on our first trip away from home for the last two and a bit years. Today was a day to wander around Noojee and find some caches along the way. The area was very busy with cars coming at the nearby intersection; but MrHyde Jnr found this before any of the others even got out of the car. Very easy. TFTC.

Found at 10.09 am

A nice quick easy stop. Being just a bison, not worth getting the kids out for. Beautiful day. Thanks!

Thank you

All Good.

Cache replaced

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2022?*

(“\(0o0)/“) No luck here today.
Thanks ahomburg for the hunt anyway, we’ll have another crack at it next time.

{Sent from a mobile mind, not just a mobile device.}°°°° +

Hinterland Drive was transferred from baluke to user ahomburg

I’d say ditto

Could be gone

DNF here, got a bad feeling this one is gone.

Found it and logged a traceable

We love treasure hunting.

Really really easy to find.

TFTC!

Heading to Nooji for the long weekend, and stopped off to grab this one. Nice quick find. Thanks for making us stop! TFTC

Very wet day today. Easy to find. I managed to log it with my nice raincoat. Thanks BaLuke for placing the cache.

We found your cache while exploring the area, a tad misty and wet, but a good day out.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

After being in the area FTF Hunting and doing Lab Adventure Caches, I couldn't go past a solved puzzle geocache. Being stuck behindaslosmoving truck, this cache appeared on my map just in time before I went crazy. Parked the car in the massive parking area and then read the cache page. Left the keys in the car, music playing and quickly read the sign. Then grabbed the cache from the obvious place and returned as found.

Thanks for the cache Ba Luke

Headed all the way over to Noojee to help ahomburg celebrate his 10 years as a cacher event at the falls.
After the great event it was time to head towards home but as they say there is always time for one more find, but in my case it might have been a few more.
Pulled in here to not really stretch the legs as I was only just down the road but to try and find this one.
Still a few cars passing by but they all seemed oblivious to what I was up to.
A quick search and I was able to add my name to the log book so now on to the next one.

Thanks BaLuke TFTC.

I had a great time finding your cache
BaLuke, thank you so much for it.

9:43 am #9064
Our first for the day. After a long drive, it was nice to get out and stretch legs.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, BaLuke

26 Jan 2020: Streak Day #332/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Out for caching with geo-friends. This is our first cache today. BaLuke, thank you so much for placing it.

In the area for an event and just couldn't drive past this one.
Cheers for the cache.

Today we found Hinterland Drive on our travels. We attended ahomburg’s 10th anniversary event and then decided to sign a few local caches before heading home.
Thanks baluke for being part of our geocaching fun.

Today's plan was to smash out a handful of caches on my way up to the event in noojie/ where I will be camping the night. So with the triple j hottest 100 on to be the soundtrack of today's outing I was off, either way thanks for putting the cache out and being a part of the adventure that was today.

quick find

Ilukaperi and I headed out this way to escape the heat of the day. I figured it would be nice to grab a virtual and maybe a couple of other caches before spending the afternoon in the river to cool off.

Grabbed this one on the way back while we were still relatively cool. Still stinking hot outside the car, so this was the last one for the day.

TFTC!

On a 41°C day, day1976 and I headed out here to noojee to get the nearby virtual and then cool off in the river. Quick grab and sign on the way home.

Out for a drive in the hinterland.

Quick find

An afternoon out to Noojee with some great finds

Lise here from cached up mummas and monkeymann with kids and non geo hubby.

Nice little hide.
Thank you

We're chasing Victoria's first Adventure Lab tour, and picking up caches along the way. Starting at around 9:30am, we finished the Geocaching Adventure at about 4:30pm - we took it pretty easy today and had a great time. This was one of the caches we found along the way. Thanks for the cache BaLuke.

This was a quick park and grab after being at Baw Baw for the snow.

This was a very quick find for us here today. Thanks for a reason to stretch our legs.

Nice easy find
Find 52

Found with FUF009.
Today we left Walhalla and headed to Mt Baw Baw.
We had to adjust our route because the GPS kept trying to take us down a dirt road that looked like it would end up needing a 4wd.
We found lots of caches along the way and heaps up Mt Baw Baw.
We were lucky with the weather and to have avoided the bushfires.
Thanks to all the COs for their caches. Tftc

Find # 7956

A road trip with good friend sharkiefan. Plan was to go Walhalla for a couple of events and then up to the top of Mt Baw Baw before getting back to the City.

If the sign was not as big I could have grabbed it from the car seat.

TFTC baluke

Driving through and stopped to grab this cache and discover some information. Love this area and first time I have been through this part.

Thanks baluke for the cache.

Find # 1242

Easy find on our trip out to noojee

Visiting the area today for a picnic. Just had to stop for one more! Thanks BaLuke for sharing this information with us.

Nice quick find on the way to Tooronga falls for an afternoon walk! Thank you for the cache

We ended up grabbing this cache to remind us of our visit to Noojee. The bridge cache had a photo shoot right at GZ, and we had no coverage to help with the other 2 in the town.
Very unusual for us to find ourselves without our garmin loaded with caches, and in a place with no phone or internet coverage.
Glad we could grab this cache today.
TFTC baluke.

A quick and easy drive by find on the way back from noog to Neerim South for a party at the South pub. tftc

1st of 9 finds for the afternoon, on an adventure with little sister Rosie. Thanks for the cache!

A day out in the countryside with +Wife, our GeoMutts and muggle mate, Pam.
After a feed of smoked trout from the local trout farm we took a walk up to Toorongo Falls and Horseshoe falls.
On the way home now and a quick drive by to add to our day.
I broke your cache. Well not really. The lid was no longer attached anyhow.
I dropped it in the long grass. Not as bad as losing half a nano, that's for sure.
Grabbed a fresh one from my caching bag and transferred a few vital bits over.
Wrapped it up, good as new. Just like a bought one now. [^]
Added a nice long strip of stone paper in the existing ziplock bag.
Thanks BaLuke.
