Up at 5am and out the door by 6am, BackPAQer and I were heading to Cheshunt South and onto lake William Hovellfor a geocache meet up. Followed by a few hours of kayaking to find the mystery caches in the area.We stopped on the way up to Lake William Hovell and on the way back down to grab some caches along the Hume Highway and those in surrounding areas.Arriving a little late after the 3 and half hour drive, we were getting with sweetie bags and amazing muffins.Soon after we all hit the water, my first time in my new inflatable kayak. 3 hours of kayaking and 16 caches later we finished and then grabbed the remaining 2 in the car.What an amazing beautiful sunny day to do a bit of caching and kayaking. Also what an amazing bunch of Geocachers who were there.Thanks for the cache and the hideLogbook signed and returnedFind #2069

Great stop for much needed caffeine. Easy find

Stopped and grabbed this one on my way home after seeing it 5 days ago when I did the other one on the other side of freeway. Sl thanks for the caches.

Quick stop on the way back from Wandong, now clearing the other cache on the opposite side of the road.

Nice easy find when doing a quick stop TFTC

Very clever

Very literal hint!

Nice easy find on our way home from a weekend exploring the area, giving us a chance to clean up the few caches that we had left on our "We will get that next time " list

Day 1 of our tour round Tasmania Today we drove from Wodonga to Geelong and boarded the Spirit of Tasmania. We found a few caches on the way

We had a rest stop here, so we used the time to find the cache.

The cache was in good condition. We signed the log and replaced the container as found

Thanks Robmc for the cache.

Found on a typical dreary day in Vic - and it’s still summertime
Quick find

Quick stop on the drive to Melbourne. TFTC

Couldn't find it, grass recently cut maybe it was down low by the rock?

Dropped in and replaced the logsheet with a Rite-in-the-Rain one in a plastic bag.
Ready to be found again

The OSHFAM clan including geo dog Roxy came up to Punkah for a few days to spend time in our shack before school starts next week. On Saturday lunchtime, I sent the family home and Roxy and I stayed on for an extra night on our own enjoying caching adventures. Today it was time to head home again, so after packing up, Roxy and I hit the road around lunchtime and didn't get home til 8pm caching our way all the way home.

I always stick to the main road when driving back home but today without whinging kids and hubby, I decided to venture out onto the backroads to grab a few caches and stop at all the unfound southbound caches along the highway.

Another quick stop here. No muggles within proximity to be bothered by. Just some bunnies in the bushes. A quick find. The cache and log in good condition.

It's raining now. Roxy has a blurry view through the back window now.

Thank you for the cache here Robmc

Drive from Wangaratta to Geelong today with a quick stop in Melbourne. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for part of this trip.

Tftc.

Cache was on ground without log book. Used receipt I found as log book and put back in place where I thought it would go. Used band aid to attach log book

This was a quick one. The title gives it all. TFTC!

Heading into the Shepparton area to visit the latest member of our family. I thought I'd try to get a few caches in a new LGA and more in the Shepparton LGA. That new LGA being the "Campaspe Shire Council". Collected a few others on route too. Not as many as we wanted, but didn't have a lot of time.

Found on the return trip home. Needed a break and this was about half way. I certainly needed the break, especially with the rest of the family asleep.

Son2 spotted this one as I was reading the title and description. Didn't even need to use the GPSr.

Thanks for the cache Rob Mc

Found the cache and logbook on the ground, but have placed it back in the obvious spot, TFTC

I was filling up in the servo heading home from the nearby Mega and wondered if there was a cache here (we have a couple like this in Officer). As luck would have it, there was one right around the back! I wandered off into the dark and found the cache. All is good, with no issues at all. Thanks for the adventure!

Travelling south we made a stop here to get something to eat and fill the bellies. xrocketx being a local said to check the app as there are usually caches at the service centres … and of course he is correct! That also meant I figured his turn to jump out in the rain drizzle and retrieve . A very quick sign and replace and we were on our way again.

Thanks for placing a cache here it is always good to have something extra to stop for and break up a drive.

Found It!
A quick find here after stopping for something to eat nearby.

Found it nice and quick! I love these ones, it’s my 2nd one like it. Kind of knew what to look for. & I like the dead tree. It makes for a nice spot.
Thanks!

Found on the way back from our trip to Wodonga. A good excuse to stop and stretch the legs on the way and this one was a nice quick find. Thanks for the cache Robmc.

A lot of people around, felt suspicious.

gonna look again another day

Took longer than it should have. Great find.

We found just as we were about to give up. I would have classed this one as a ‘special’ personally. Brilliant placement.

Easy

Last cache of the day after heading to Terry’s Treasures in Pyalong. Easy find but by golly it stunk

TFTC

Fuel stop and a quick find. Cool hide

Found it

Nice quick easy find

A very easy find when when you you have done 1 of these before.

On the way home tftc

Yep. Love these. No one would k ow except for a Cacher!!

I AM GUR

You just never know where these will pop up. A surprise stop on my way to Melbourne. First one of this kind for me.
TFTC

I think it’s been removed?

Quick easy find while we were out on the highway today. Great disguise to be down in the area of the cache as had the geo dog with us and needed a toilet stop. Quick easy locate after a few muggles moved on, retrieved, logged and back in position then off we went.TFTC

Quite a busy service centre on a Sunday afternoon, so made a cuppa and went for a stroll to GZ. Quickly spotted, retrieved and signed, thanks.

This took way longer than it should have.
A second look and the cache was spotted easily.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, Robmc

OzHockeyChick had to visit Wallan so she swung by my place on the way and we headed up. After stopping in at Wallan, I suggested we continue on to Kilmore to grab a few caches and then we headed home via Wondong.

Stopping here today, based on the description I had made a guess as to what the cache would be. Despite being right, I proceeded to search for other types of caches and completely overlooked the obvious cache right infront of me until OzHockeyChick called it out.


Thanks Robmc for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

SL at 4:30pm. Second pitstop on our way home from the Wangaratta Mega event with Ms_AmaraTay. BTCC stop! In this case, Bin/Toilet/Coffee/Cache, in that order. So need coffee! Very busy pitstop area here. Great hide. TFTC!

Travelling home from the Wangaratta Mega with FlirtinWithDanger. But… Coffee. Must. Have. Coffee. An easy find and a quick stop on this really hot day!!! Cache found and logged, now coffee. TFTC

Great hide

Thanks Robmc for the cache

Stopped here to go to the toilet. Is there a cache? There is! Dashed and quickly found. TFTC

Checked on a maintenance run.
Replaced old logbook and plastic bag.
Ready to be found.
Robmc.

Someone stolen. Smells gross. Girlfriend wasn’t happy

Cache log is badly damaged and soaking wet as it is not protected adequately. Please attend to the log and help it out!

Getting close now to our daughters home in Geelong and pulled into a familiar stop. We regularly stop here when we drive down from Sydney. After obtaining refreshments, was surprised to see a hide just around the corner, so of course I investigated. A quick find but unfortunately the log was an unusable mush. Despite the type of hide, this log needs a mini zip bag, and a new log sheet if someone could place one?

It’s great to have caches at all these rest spots… they help to break up the drive, particularly at 5am. Looking forward to eventually getting home and sleeping on my own bed after a long weekend road tripping and camping with The Welder. Thanks for the cache.

#2116 - 5am
It was getting frosty.

Only an hour to go before Heymissjo and I reached the big smoke after having driven overnight from Wodonga on the final leg of our Alpine weekend roadtrip, but we needed a rest stop.
And the mandatory cache, lol!

It was a good time to stop to avoid the scrutiny of muggles. Just a sole truck was parked in this area, but it was pointed the other way, with the driver busy with his own activities.

This was a sweet find, but the log was pretty wet so we had to scratch/scrawl our names in.

Thanks for the break from driving, Robmc. Very nice hide.
I hope you have luck in the Cup later today

TFTC loved it. Very clever

Far too stinky to hang around to look for this. Why on earth would someone plant a cache right on a sewer pit?

Awesome find. Very damp.

Thanks for a different cache. Paper very wet so hard to write.TFTC

9 RM I think I know that bloke
Thanks for placing this cache to break up the drive home Robmc

On our way back from Bright and we needed a pout stop. While the kids were eating ice cream we found this one. TFTC

I Found it

Classy and smelly

Still here. A bit waterlogged

A quick stop on the way home and bonus.. a cache. Quickly spotted and signed.

Thanks to Robmc for the placement and fun.

That was an interesting one. Lucky the log was still there. Perhaps needs greater care for the next person who finds and signs. Nice cache spot. TFTC.

A bonus find after the powertrail. We had an idea of how this one might be hidden but were smiling when the log ended up more attracted than the holder! All in good nick and now for a refuel. TFTC

Nice hide. TFTC

Clever!

Easy find

TFTC nice fast find.

As son as the boarder was open, we were on our way to see family we hadn’t seen in 11mths but unfortunately it was only a day trip. We stopped for a frozen coke and decided to see if there was a catch near by and low and behold, I’d parked right next to it GeoDaughter loved the camo.
Thanks for a quick cache to scratch that itch. Our first cache since February.
