Out caching around Mildura with friends. Logged as EGS. We loved the caches we found and the backroads we travelled along the way.TFTC

Our last day in the area before we head home tomorrow. A beautiful day to find some more caches here. Found with Earthlight and Shandyk, and signed the log EGS. Replaced cache and log book as the container was broken and log book soaked. TFTC.

Container is cracked and logs pretty wet due to the sprinklers nearby TFTC

Lots of foliage, very tricky, unable to locate sadly

Took a while to hunt for it but it was there

As others have said, container cracked and logbook damp but still able to sign! Thank you!

Tftf

Could not find the cache.

Out exploring and found your cache. Container cracked but could still sign log Tftc

Great little hide. Container is cracked and log is slightly damp.

Not directly on the geo mark but hidden well

Nice geocache!

Great spot

Easy find, thanks.

Another easy find. Bit muddy so a few soft spots. Dr's from Ouyen taking one cache at a time. If you walk past the light pole and white irrigation you have gone to far. Happy hunting !

Great spot thanks

Veey easy found within a minute

It was a little hard to get too but was a good find

Could not find think this one might be gone

Not much of a search, found it straight away! however after the rainy weather, this cache needs a fair bit of attention….

My son and I had a good time looking for this. Thanks

.

Not as easy as stated

Thanks!

In Mildura for the weekend visiting rellies & Geokid (9 years) & I were keen to find some caches in another state (than our home state SA) as well as fill in a gap on our caching calendar. This was our first attempt for the day & a quick find by geokid & her 10 year old cousin. TFTC

The coords are about 8 metres off but other than that a great find

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure, yes I know we have wandered over the border. Never mind, It is a wonderful day, perfect for geocaching so we are off to see what we can find. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Border hopping weekend day #2:

Collecting some caches across South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria inbetween the 20 years of Geocaching celebration events in Berri, Wentworth and Irymple consecutively.

I started caching in 2020... so if these events had been then I wouldn't have gone. So I'm glad to be here for the journey.

I can only stay the weekend due to work, one night in Berri and one in Mildura. So I'm doing as many caches as I can inbetween events... so many caches and so little time.

After my DNF on my last visit, a few finds popped up and after reading the logs I narrowed it down and found the cache almost immediately.

Cache retrieved and signed with stamp.

99 total finds for the trip. 42 traditionals, 2 multis, 7 mysteries, 3 virtuals, 2 letter boxes, 1 EarthCache, 3 community celebration events, 1 event and 1 CITO. As well as 37 Adventure Lab locations.

Thanks TheVersteegs for this cache.

This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1515.

Fairly easy find. Thank you

Wasn't quite the quick drive-by I thought it would be. It was only when I went looking for an exit point that I stumbled on the cache around 16m from where my phone said it should be. All good, it was an easy find after that. Tftc.

Eetswa

found it !!

Good

No puxk today

Perfect little hiding spot

No luck here today

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find.

Pretty sure I had found the Sneaky cache but found no log book.

Day 21 of our southern trip. Caching around Mildura and Red Cliffs in readiness for doing the Paddle Steamer geoart.

Caching and travelling with RoddyC snickersallan and grannysmith1947. Signed as Team 44Qld.

Sneaky hide. Thank you

Out caching today. Perfect day for caching thanks for arranging.

Great find, thanks

Found.. container deteriorating from heat

Is it still there?

Emzheartu found it today

Fun finding it, grape vines just getting their leaves! Riding the recumbents to find it!

Tricky at night

Found! Was almost caught by owner on a tractor and was not happy when he saw us put it back in its place… I think he thought it was rubbish!

Found it, not sure about it’s original placement because it was out in the open. Owner may want to check? TFTC

Finally found!

Took a couple of times..... easier then you think

Easy

Easyyyyyy

Bit of the nav

Directions a tad off sneaky hide

Will attempt this one again soon was unable to find!

When we didn't find the cache at GZ we widened our search area and finally found the cache 14m from the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in reasonable condition. We are not sure if there has been cache creep or if the published coordinates are incorrect. We found the cache at S34 14 131 E142 11.436. Thanks for the cache.

We didnt find it and it was in a awkward spot

Found it

Found. You have to be on the right side to see.

Took me 2 visits to find. On second visit I approached from a different angle and found it instantly. Containment may need replacing soon as a bit sun damaged.

Found by The Empire
My last day here in Mildura! After saying goodbye to all of my caching mates - Snap Happy, omegaman1971, Happy Feet, Happy Pants and Rebel Acts, it was time to start to make my way home. Buuuut there are a few more caches to find in town before I head off. I also needed some snacks for the drive! A quick find here. Thanks for the cache TheVersteegs.

Day 4 of my caching road trip to Mildura...I was on my own looking for this one and took me longer than it should have...my GPS had me going around in circles...
I finally saw what I was looking for...

Exactly as described in hints. Finds like this help our confidence as we are still amateurs.

Tftc. Going to the wrong side and wonky GPS signals nearly created a dnf. Fortunately, we found it and added our stamp of approval!

Found on a trip from Adelaide to the Mildura area for a few days of caching with Team Waldron, Brisal5 and FeatherWaite. Our main targets were the Paddle Steamer and Turtle geoart series' but we also took the opportunity to seek out a few other caches along the way.

We were fortunate with the weather. After a burst of very hot days, we timed our trip nicely to coincide with the milder conditions before the next hot spell. That helped to make both the caching and the camping along the Murray River and in the Murray-Sunset National Park very pleasant.

We ended up finding all the caches that we had targeted. Most were in good order. Some of the puzzles were quite challenging and there were some very novel and entertaining multi's. Some certainly took a bit of finding and there were many very clever and/or tricky caches and containers that were a credit to the cache owners’ ingenuity.

It would have been good to have had another day or two to complete the remaining caches in the area, but I’m sure we’ll be back.

Thanks to all the cache owners for the hides.

Over from SA for 4 days of caching with Egregory1, Featherwaite and Brisal5.

We came primarily to do the Paddlesteamer series but picked up orthers as we drove around.

Apologies for the generis logs.

All caches we found were in good order.

Thanks to all cache owners whose caches we found.

***Generic Log unless something special above this line.***

I have seen a T shirt with Sleep Eat Cache Repeat [^] Well a four day trip to Mildura with caching friends Team Waldron, E.gregory and FeatherWaite certainly fit that bill. Logs were signed with initials only for the teams - BEFW

Up at daybreak, quick breakfast and cache all day stopping only to have a snack whilst out on the trails, rush to set up camp near dusk for a meal, then perhaps some night caching, early night and REPEAT!

Strategic camping at Kings Billabong, Rocket lake and The Common meant we were close by the Geoart and target night caches. Two previous trips in 2013 and 2016 by me and some by E.gregory meant we visited some (well quite a few actually) previous finds but that made it quick for the people that hadn't found them previously.

I can't thank the CO's of these caches enough as some were really very inventive. Even having solved most puzzles before we came we were confronted with field puzzles and gadgets that were just mind boggling. [:X][:X][:X]

***Thanks TheVersteegs for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the Mildura area for a few days of caching with Brisal5, e.gregory1 and Team Waldron with the main aim to complete the Paddle Steamer and Turtle GeoArt series but also to find other caches along the way. We camped out on the banks of the Murray River near Mildura on the first night, at Rocket Lake campground in the Murray-Sunset National Park on the second night, then back to the banks of the Murray River near Merbein on the last night. We signed the logs as B.E.F.W. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the cache!

Great find!! Took us a little while at first but when you’re looking in the right place.
Definitely agree with others that the container is quite worn out but some good fun to find

Easy find, cute container

Well we came back today with our tail between our legs.
Doesn’t matter how many caches we have found we can still be wrong.
When someone found it after our DNF, yesterday, we thought, no way, so we are happy to say that despite the farmer clearing his frontage behind these trees, that the cache was easily and quickly located today and does really exist.
Our problem yesterday was that we approached from behind, it was raining and we were tired and not focused on the job of our last cache for the day at about 8pm.
So after all that TFTC

There has been a lot of fresh farmworks/clearing and slashing between the trees and the first posts of the vineyard....we think this one has been cleaned up and disposed of.
Maybe CO confirmation of this is required please.

Easy to find. Be careful near the road
