Logs
We love being the owners of this cache. Great to see it intact with many logs in the notebook. Thankyou to all who have found this cache and look forward to reading of many more future finds.
Suscoe and Phetlern were heading to the Swan Hill area and asked The Drovers, Geoturtle37 and myself if we would like to accompany them. We have a number of DNF's that need redemption so were pleased for the invite.
A nice quick find for us here. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

With the memory of the Rutherglen Mega still utmost in our minds, we set a course for Swan Hill, to spend a few days caching around the border area with Suscoe, Geoturtle, Papi and The Drovers. Interesting to learn that the floods of 2010 were actually the beginning of a new life for Lake Meran and surrounds.
To maximise the space on cache logs for future cachers, we logged our visit as "B Team"
Thanks to the Owner for adding this cache to the gameboard.

After camping here at the lake I woke to a very wet campground. While waiting to pack up I decided to find the 2 nearby caches, not letting the rain stop me.
This GZ was very close to my tent - the cache was quickly found.
There are facilities here not seen in most other 'free/donation' campgrounds. Surprisingly we had the place to ourselves as most people had returned home from the long weekend.
Thanks, Team Roanke.

As a kid, those days at the lake or the beach were always the best, thanks for showing me this special memory place.

Enjoyed our stay camping for a week with our daughter for the school holidays, popular during the long weekend, but quiet during week. Cache was 25m stroll from camp so easy find even without the GPS. Cache in good condition.
Quick stop & quick find. Thanks for bringing us here to this lovely lake. TFTC
A lovely quick find. A lovely area and a beautiful lake, great camping area too! Thanks for the cache !
Cache found nice and easily because it was totally exposed. Signed and replaced with a little camp.
What a great spot to camp and Runamuck 
Will have to return and do a spot of camping relaxing
Signed log and returned container back where it was found
All is well with the cache

Suscoe was heading home today after a terrific caching trip around the Kerang region.
We were making our way back down south to our home base.
It was a warm day with sunshine and some cloud. there was a bit of wind too.
The roads were pretty quiet.
Thanks to Team Roanke for this placement, what a terrific spot.
Some one was just setting up a lovely breakfast as we were leaving.

Enjoying a meander down some roads we don't normally travel to grab a few caches on the way home. Many thanks for help making it an enjoyable day.
A quick find with frmen1. Such an interesting place. Left a couple of more swap items. TFTC
Nice rest break and find. Thanks for giving us a reason to visit this spot. Cache and log are in good shape. Tftc
Deniliquin to Boort.
From here we stopped for caches along the road where it was suitable to stop with the caravan on.
After setting up camp at the showgrounds we did a tour of the country side hunting down caches.
I can imagine in the hot summer days this place would be packed.

As I continue to meander on my journey towards St Arnaud, I am enjoying caching my way through the countryside What a lovely area that I had driven by many times in the 70s and 80s but never stopped TFTC Team Roanke
Some very interesting looking fruit on ground nearby to investigate before finding the cache. I didn't realise that paintball pods look exactly like sistema boxes!
Found on our way home from our trip to Lake Boga, where we saw the Catalina airshow and display, went fishing, and of course cached our way around as well.
Wow what a beautiful hidden gem this is. Looked beautiful today with lots of water in the lake.
Easy find of cache - although it is not a paintball pod as per the description any more.
TFTC and for bringing us here Team Roanke

Lovely area to visit, and good to pickup a couple of caches while here.
But didn't get to see any possums.

Out today on a country road trip to fill in some LGA's and explore the countryside.
Sun came and and it really heated up - great to explore some new spots!
This was as far as Iwent north. Was pretty packed here with families. My first time here.
Beaitiful spot. Thanks for the name and the history!

Off to Kerang to attend Lady Morris' school reunion. The mosquitoes added an extra couple of difficulty points - they absolutely swamped us in most locations.
I attended many Sunday School picnics and school camps here over the years. Nice to see some water in the lake and all the improvements since the 2001 floods.

The only reason we called into this spot was that there was a bitumen road in. After all the rain we have had, I didn't dare let the wheels leave the tar. Good news - we found the dry cache . Thanks Team Roanke for bringing us to this great area.
Catching up with some late logs, therefore this unfortunately is going to be one of 'those logs'. I apologize in advance for the generic log, A combination of limited time and too many to log dictates that a generic log is best. I have enjoyed the hunt and being outdoors in this great country of ours, partaking in a pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. I usually head out by myself, but I thank those that have had the misfortune of my company in some of these ventures.
Thanks Team Roanke for placing this cache.

Old cache went walkabout. Lovingly replaced. Room for TBs. Very sketchy phone coverage in this area.
People were starting to camp here for the long weekend. Only one where GZ was so it was easy to get. TFTC
Camp Runamuck was not living up to its name today 
Just a single, small tent was pitched and the owners nowhere to be seen.
So I had a very relaxed stroll to GZ and then around the facilities
TFTC, and explaining what the cache container was in a past life.
I was wondering

Really, did my wife really just ask me that? Do I have any plans?
Hell yeah, I'm outta there with a GPS on one hand and a bottle of water in the other.....then back again really quickly to get the car keys.....need another hand.
Not a big day numbers wise, just 28 caches (going for those a little off track), but 667km in total driving meant the day was long.
I flew in and flew out....between passing people. No time to runamuck, barely time to sign. However once the deed was done, plenty of time to drive around and admire this location.

Found by Roma and Max.
Returning home from the Geocaching Event in Kerang we called in here to make a quick find.

Thanks Team Roanke.

Heading up to the "A Day in Kerang" event, I could not go past a cache this close to the road. Over 100 ks on the road from home, for my fist grab of the day.
So with a quick stop to stretch the legs, and keeping an eye on the muggle fisherman so that I was not spotted , I had a quick peak around and soon had the good sized cache in hand.

Made this one the last of the day on our casual, cruisy trip, in perfect sunny weather too!! Looking forward to coming back for an overnight caravan stay, and the cache Hounds will be very comfortable there too!! TFTC
A very interesting container here, never seen one like it, but it certainly does the job.
No-one around to disturb the search, thanks for this one Team Roanke

Found with Bogonghazy today enroute to Swan Hill after the weekends events at Wedderburn. Thanks to team Roanke for the hide.
Well done indeed on your maiden hide - I enjoyed the quest. I have several hides nearby so glad to have company. It'll soon be a caching hotspot! Great container too.
Congratulations Team Roanke on your first hide. What a great location. Thought I was travelling out to get a FTF but was pipped at the post by Aussie Fun Seakers. Took the time out there to get a nearby cache that had previously eluded me, so a productive little drive.
Wow first to find a great hide in a great spot.
Good place to camp near the lake. Very quiet today No campers.
congratulations Team Roanke on your first hide, Co-ords are spot on.
Took TB's Left 2 TB's Thanks for the cache.
