By Robmc on 30-Jul-14. Waypoint GC59X4F

Tftc quick park and grab

I wandered up and down. Recalibrated the GPS. That helped. Cache and log are good. TFTC Robmc.

A nice stop to stretch the legs after a quick trip to Melbourne. I had looked for this many many moons ago, but due to a very dead and smelly possum, I didn't hang around very long. A nice quick find here today tho. Log signed, and cache returned as found

On our wat to Bright for a getaway weekend. Pretty spot for a break. Last time I stopped here Mokoan lake was still there.TFTCThe sock man.

Wasent where we expected

Coming back from Melbourne stopped for a toilet break. Great place to stop and stretch the legs. TFTC

Nice easy one, while stopping for a break, thankyou

My birthday cache day Mingan

GEOCACHE #251 (06/06/2024)

Found it Tftc

Cute little find hanging around!

I found this cache. Please excuse generic log, I need to catch up on my backlog of caches to make sure the Canberra mega event is my milestone. I will edit this log when I am back in geelong Victoria

nice little spot! careful of snakes.

Yet another pit stop just to find a cache.

Tasmania Trip Day 13. Travel Day, Geelong to Canberra. After a great night one the boat and even a good nights sleep, I was ashore way too early and beginning to drive home to Canberra. After refueling I started out. I did not go directly and took quite a detour via the final three western(ish) counties in Victoria I have not cached in before. This leaves Melbourne and several east of Melbourne around to almost Orbost to do one day. Seeing the heavy traffic streaming towards Melbourne in the other direction was odd in the foggy pre-dawn darkness. Eventually it got light and I reached some caches to do. All in all it went smoothly with some interesting places visited and I even made it home eventually, just before dark. All in all a great multi leg journey over almost a month. Now onto some Canberra activities.I was well on my way now with the three counties visited and me back on the freeway, so I took a short break and wandered along to this cache. I am glad it is well out of the rest area as it was quite busy here today.Thanks for the cache Robmc46180.19 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2014 Compass Rose Cosmic Mirror A#305**Albida**

Found It!This seems to be a popular rest stop today. Luckily the cache was far enough away from all the people that I was able to find it without attracting attention!TFTC

Good place for a stretch & say hello to the cows. Tftc

A quick find while stretching my legs on my way to Queensland. TFTC.

Nice spot. TFTC!

TeamSmokeyBear and I can turn any day cache into a night time adventure, and we certainly did with this time. TFTC...I mean, we do do stupid things better at night!

A nice easy find on my way to Myrtlefordsigned the log and replaced TFTC

On our way for a girls weekend away at Beechworth and the geo car was being difficult so we pulled over for a cool down and grabbed this while we waited.

A great little way to break up a long drive. Thanks for the cache.

Like many before us Im sure, we stopped to stretch our legs and found a cache. Thanks Robmc for placing this cache

TFTC

Lovely vista to gladden the road -weary eyes.
Thanks Robmc

Found with MummyPenny exactly where she predicted. Thanks Robmc.

Out and about on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with geohusband and geodogs. TFTC

Out with Geowife and Geodogs on the way home. Thought we would pick this one up. Bison was in the paddock, attached to where I thought it should be. All good here. Now off home. TFTC

Took a minute cos I was looking for a different style! Thanks

Checked on a maintenance run.
Replaced log sheet.
All good and ready to be found.
Robmc.

Let’s go streaking they (HQ) said. Well ok….
This months challenge isn’t a favourite of mine anymore but with some strategy it should be achievable.

Today is day 16 of 28

A nice easy find on the way home today.
TFTC

Found! Great views! TFTC.

Found on family holiday.
Made a quick stop here and a quick find while PC talked to the cows.
Thanks for the cache!

Thanks for a great cache
Nice stop on our road trip to pick up the daughter.

Found it. Crafty spot with great views

Good stretch with a coffee and amazing views

Driving up to Beechworth for the long weekend, stopped here for a breather. Avenged my previous DNF It was tricky to spot! TFTC Robmc for all these wonderful caches to break up the journey

Nice easy find on our way to Bright for the weekend, we took the time to tick off a few caches we had left along the way
Great views, a sneaky little hide tftc

Thanks for hide it has a great view , didn’t know you can decommission a lake interesting

We love the changing lake views at this stop and today wasn’t so snakey for a short wander to sign the cache.

Thank you for the cache.

Wow that was tricky & I’m glad I’m here in daylight! Looks like I just missed a fellow catcher too! TFTC & FP!

We’re heading up to Bright for a while and we stopped here to take a break. After stretching our my son asked whether there was any caches here I said that it was very unlikely but, after checking the app we found that there was one. We walked of towards the cache and after a while of the GPS going crazy we found the silver cache but alas we had no pen so we took a picture of the log. This was a good cache to do when heading north. Tftc

Search around but couldn't not be found

This was a populiar spot to stop.

Lucky for me the cache was just off the track.

Watched a train pass by.

I signed the log and moved on.

TFTC

Had no reason to stop here other than I suspected that there’d be a cache, as there usually are at well signposted rest stops. Sure enough I was right.

Only took a bit of searching around with my torch in the dark but got it signed and replaced as found in no time. Now back to the road.

Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.

✓ Kurung thanks you for the cache!

Find # 11670

A break in the trip to Wangaratta.

Yep I'm northbound so I had to stop for this one.

Not that much of a view in the night time. But a quick find of the cache by torchlight.


TFTC Robmc

Nice cache, guarded by spiders. The ladybug in the lid is probably hiding from them
A great way to stretch the legs, and muggles don't tend to stick around much. TFTC

Scorching day on the Hume today but took the opportunity to nab this one during our quick rest stop. Many thanks.

Quick stop to stretch the legs on the way to Sydney. Lovely view, but it’s like someone forgot to take the last decoration off the tree! TFTC

Quick toilet stop on our travels today - nice views and we saw the train go past!

TFTC

Quick stop for this north bound cache ( south bound already found). TFTC after reading other logs, we soon reached to have in hand after breaking through the spider webs.

Found it, thanks for the cach!

After stopping here numerous times, today was the day.
This makes cache 800 found
Nice stop for a driver change
TFTC

Found it. Awesome views.

A team effort with my dad led to finding this cache.
Many spiders around so watch out for their webs!
TFTC!

Not too hard to find but did take a few minutes. For those who are having difficulty, this isn't at ground level but it's quite safe
Now back to Sydney we go

Found on the way home from Melbourne today. This one had me walking around in circles for a while before the cache showed up. Nice view here!! Tftc!

Quick one on the way north, didn't see it at first but got there eventually! TFTC

Longwood to Albury. Back in to NSW
Camped at the SSA club
All caches we did today was while towing the caravan, only stopped where where there was suitable
parking.
Thanks for placing your cache.

nice find on way back home

Found with Kittykatch, Joolay, Youban and Tankengine while in the area caching for the weekend.

We were lucky with the weather having the worse already pass us, but some roads were still closed from the flooding.

This cache: A quick find on the way home. Tftc!!!

Found it. Looking too low. All good with cache.

Wonderful to be visiting the area with Dty73, Youban, Tankengine and Kittykatch. The rally was canceled because of the floods but already had the accommodation booked and paid for so came anyway. Glad the rain has stopped and the sun is out.

Thanks for getting me out and about Robmc

Bonnie Doon weekend

Found with Silence49. Robmc, thank you so much for placing it and highlighting this area.

Daughter found it after going in circles. Good cache

Whilst travelling north stopped for a break and happy to see a cache in the area. The murals on the facilities and water tank are well done and it was good to see water in the lake. TFTC

Nice unexpected find on our break. TFTC

Great cache

Cool!

Dropped in to replace the logbook.
Good to see a bit of water across the paddocks.

In the way to Wodonga for a 21st so I thought I’d stop and stretch my legs and grab this cache. Log is now full. TFTC

The GPS on my phone had us walking around in circles.
Took us a bit to find

In the Wangaratta area for a few days caching with my very good caching mate from Bacchus Marsh 6Hinemoa2 and great caching friend from Adelaide and his mate the Blackadders.
Due to COVID lockdowns and other problems this trip has been postponed a number of times but we are finally going. Once in the area we put 3B6 or Bushfire in our logs to save space.
I am running late with my logs after finding so many in five full on caching days.
With so many caches found I have to use the cut and paste method as we found so many great caches from so many different cachers, so a big thank you to all those folk.

THE LATE TO THE WANGARATTA MEGA TOUR. [:o)]
We were booked for November 21. [^] Didn't Happen.
Booking transferred to February 22. covid
Booking transferred to May 2022. Yah - made it albeit a tad late.

DAY 5: The Fab Four of Bushfire, Blackadders, brisal5 and 6himemoa2 set off for a days of Geocaching adventures. Today we spent the morning clearing a few more around Benalla, then called in at Glenrowan before spending the afternoon targeting the Randolph the Rats caches [^] Bushfire and 6hinemoa2 had done them so acted as chauffeur and laughing at us every time we ran into trouble doing a pub crawl and then attending church for penance. You would have thought that a whole afternoon would suffice but we barely scratched the surface on this series. Here is what we managed in a whole day until dusk!

Zooming up the highway we called in here for a quick stop. Very sneaky hide.

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

Day 5 of our trip to Victoria targeting around the Glenrowan and up to Beechworth areas with Brisal5, Bushfire and 6hinemoa2.

Our targets were once again, a few of the Randolph the Rat series where Bushfire and 6hinemoa2 were entertained by our antics searching for these elusive hides, and a number of others whilst nearby.
Rather than duplicating dialogue, much more detail is included in the logs of Brisal5.

All finds were visited and stamped by both the Adder and the Starfish. This is how we play.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

A quick find after disturbing a giand ORB spider web getting to GZ



Thank you for the cache Robmc, found 7/05/2022, 1:53:17 PM

Quick find thank you for the cache -damn cold today

Cute cows. TFTC

Found at Easter a couple of weeks ago but forgot a pen, so today the log is signed. TFTC

Great find for my LO after a Dnf this morning.

TFTC

Our last stop before we reach our destination for a few days stay in Wangaratta. Read the information board, then took the short stroll to look for the cache. GPS was apparently tired like us, so we just checked every possible location until the bright coloured cache was spotted.

Another Travelling North cache turned into a smiley. Thank you Robmc.

Caching with the geo husband... he doesnt love it but luckily he loves me. Another quick stretch of the legs and becoming a ninja in .5 of a second thanks to the local creepy crawlies but a good find. Tftc
