I decided to give this series a go today. My car got dusty then it rained a little bit and the dust turned to mud, so now I need to wash my car but that's all part of the fun in finding caches. Thanks juanmatt for bringing me to this lovely area.
Great series but Im not sure my Corolla will thank me. Tftc, fun find by the hidden dam.
Found with my favs Bogonghazy and Geo dog. Crossing off a few of my blank dates. Thanks juanmatt for placing the geocache

*Found on the 5 Jan 2023 @ 11:42 am.*
*Cache find # 13945.*
Today I headed out this way as I was needing a few more cache finds in the Mount Alexander LGA for a certain challenge cache.
I didn't initially intend on looking at this series but I found the first one and then decided to keep on going for a nice drive through the bush.
This series was a bit of a mixed bag with some easy to find, some not so easy, 2 I did not find.
Also the coordinates were quite a bit off on some and others not too bad at all.
All in all, it was a good drive along the trails and roads.
**Thanks to juanmatt for placing this cache.**

Coordinates were accurate, log very wet and mouldy. Fortunately previous person put new log and was able to sign, needs maintenance.

Love the slight decoy. Log a bit damp but still can write on it. I am loving this series, thanks
Hi there juanmatt, we found your cache Fryers #8 today.
What a nice, peaceful place to stop for lunch. (It’s a pity it’s too early).
Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache near where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log are in poor shape, totally filled with water. We dried it as best we could.
Regards

This was the first where we suffered from doing these the wrong way round. Having parked up and bush bashed down the slope we saw the easy way in doh!!!!! Found the cache, the log is quite wet and could do with a new one.
Thanks for the cache.

TFTC. A lovely day to go and enjoy some sunshine and caching along Fryers Ridge Road. We had earmarked this trail a few days ago as it would give us the last Modern Wonder and open up, the next set of Wonders of the World. All caches were in good order and for the most part good co-ordinates.
We're up from the Surfcoast, staying in Kyneton and enjoying a break away in the regions we are still able to get to. Today we packed our hand sanitiser and headed out to tackle the Fryers and Ridge Rd series. We really enjoy cruising along the winding country roads. If they're dirt, even better !
Mrs Juc decided to join me for the walk down from the road to this one and quite a few wildflower photos were taken. Thanks for the cache !

Wildflowers and a wander down an old track. What a fun track. Never would have been here otherwise! TFTC!
Duly found and signed the log - took nothing left nothing, thanks for the cache
It’s so good to be able to get out and about again

Enjoying a ride on my new Geo-motorcycle today and grabbing a few cache in the area. This was a great spot to visit. I stopped at the dam for a rest and enjoy a cuppa and a snack. I was soon joined by a very thirsty kangaroo, who lapped at the water for a good 5 min before leaving. A favorite Point for the series.
Thanks **juanmatt**

Today with the dog loaded and the stresses of xmas packed away at home, the caching run from Glenlyon to Castlemaine was the goal. And on a lovely day it was a very enjoyable run. Many many thanks for placing these caches to make so !!!
Nice and easy cache find. Logbook is wet and soggy. And has the geocaching funky smell.. next maintenance run might be worth replacing it. Still usable for now.
Staying in the area and out grabbing just a few finds, while exploring the area.Today I was just poking around some of the back roads in the area.
Another in this series that was quickly found at GZ.
Thanks juanmatt for all the effort of placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play

Thought it safer for me to take a nice stroll down the hill. It was a pleasant surprise to find water in the dam. TFTC
Found around 5m off the GZ in a stump. Nice little area by the water. TFTC inspectorrex and team
Fourteenth find on a 20 cache day working our way home from Bendigo. Nice easy find, thanks for the cache.
On a well earned break in Castlemaine and I’m spending the time just touring the whole area, enjoying the sites and picking up caches as I go.
Decided to tackle Fryers Ridge track series of caches.
I learnt my lesson, don’t drive down to this one, hard to reverse or do a twenty point turn.
Thanks juanmatt TFTC TFTS.

Having a rest day and enjoying some drivebys in the bush before the big day. This was a lovely walk to gz. Merry Christmas and thanks for the cache
We debated about going down a side track to this one. Glad we didn’t as there were 2 trees over the track and reversing back up would’ve been a nightmare. TNLNSL TFTC

Out North today with Pacman and Bentley exploring the Glenlyon area.
This was a great series to smash out! Some short walks, longer walks, some easy, some harder, with zero traffic! Bentley the cavoodle loved the longer walks and sooked when he had to stay in for the drive bys. A great afternoon was had, thanks for placing this series to make our day.

Today I headed out for a daytrip to the Castlemaine area with Jacko, making the most of the cooler weather to enjoy some bushy terrain. One of the day's main missions was a visit to the little-documented Dyers Falls which were an amazing geological feature.
After lunch we made our way to Fryers Ridge starting the series from #15.
On the 6th month, 7th day, we found #8.
Thanks juanmatt.

After being stuck close to home the last few days due to family commitments and the heat we decided today's Labour Day holiday would be a good day to get out in the bush caching.
So the car was packed and we headed out from Thornbury towards the Northcote of the North aka Castlemaine area for some caching.
When scoping out the area last night this series was spotted and looked interesting. We started out the south end and worked our way backwards to the start in the north. It was a great series juanmatt and we really enjoyed it - thanks for the caches.
This was our tenth cache for the day - we managed to do 24 in the end

Suscoe decided to head north today in search of green and yellow boxes and smiling faces. We headed off early and dropped by Legends - Bunjil to do a health check on them.
Then it was further up the road to the north of Daylesford and beyond.
It was a beaut day, mild Spring weather, a bit of sunshine and a few clouds with a little bit of showers at times too. The countryside is looking beaut at the moment, green pastures, the occasional yellow of the canola fields and the bushland was full of colour too with reds, yellows, purples and creams of grevillias, orchids and a variety of other flowers showing their best today.
All in all it was just one of those splendid Spring days so good to be out enjoying life.
Thanks to juanmatt for this cache and this series.
This was the reason for this trip today and we were pleased to be able to complete the currently available caches.
Dry road, lovely bushland, only one car seen along the road while we drove the 15 kms and 13 caches to find which we did.
All good here, apart from some damp logs in a couple of caches.

Here today for the Fryers series back to base. Start late via Taradale and Chewton before Fryers Ridge Track. Fortunately not stumped by this hide even allowing for the failing light. CIGC TNLN TFTC juanmatt
While enjoying the fine weather caching with McLookers we headed north east from Ballarat to wipe a few unfounds from our map. The tracks being well dry , the SUV had no problems as we headed from cache to cache along the Fryers Ridge, working back to front 15 to 1. How low can you go....nice easy find.
Thanks juanmatt for the placement.

Nice easy find after a stroll down from the road . Bit of huff and puff. All good at GZ. No time to linger for fear of being carried away. Thanks for this series. A great day weather wise and the road ok for my geomobile.
A quick and easy find as we cache our way to St Arnaud for the weekend. The dam here is looking quite full after all the recent rain. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Good co-ords and the hint made for a quick find today. Thanks juanmatt, found with Motndarg.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
I like it

I like it Another one off the list TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFTS/TFBUH Juanmatt [^]With a little time to fill in before heading back to the hotel, what better to do this afternoon than grab a few caches along the trail. Managed another quick find. Thanks again for the cache/s.
This was the first of 8 caches found after our Indonesian club BBQ not far away (just off Deardens Creek Track). I approached this one from the road above only to discover a track below that ran right past GZ. I was happy to take the longer walk but had to watch very carefully for snakes. The cache itself was a quick find. Thanks for this one juanmatt!
Out for a spot of geocaching with Rhiua, geonanni and geoben. A nice quick find TFTC.
