Made a quick find, on our way to Echuca for a day drive.Unfortunately can not sign log, as it is completely waterlogged. Photo, to show wet bag and log.

Container is rusted, log is completely saturated. Needs replacing.

Starting the Moor-Shepp Hidden Gem Trail in the GeoCruiser. we popped out near here so thought we would give it a try, but epic fail for us today.

Found on our way from Echuca to Bonnie Doon after attending a family funeral. Cache could do with some maintenance.Thanks chook&toon for the cache.

Away for a couple of days in the Shep area. Found with Bogonghazy and Ss. Thanks for placing the geocache

Heading to a night in Shepp with LittleBoss2 and Sorceysal. This was a quick find, and although the cache has been under water, log isn't too wet. Thanks

Logging this from my trip up here in early March.
Wet gutters but probably drier than last year.
The cross across the road was a sobering reminder

Running a few minutes early to a funeral.
Quick park and grab..
Little wet under foot.

On my way home from a great weekend with friends. Decided to grab a few caches along the way as I’ve never cached in this area.
Great he’s - although I had some problems retrieving it.
Container is rusting & bag is wet, but logbook is dry.

nice one

Replaced the log and popped it into a bag. That was pretty gross in there. Luckily at the Mega last weekend I got don’t new logbook replacement.
TFTC. SL at 14:35 on the way to Swan Hill.

After taking geogirl to play under 11 netball at undera stopped off to find this cache on the way to take geoboy to play pokemon cards in shepparton. A quick park and grab. The road was very busy with cars this morning. Log was a little damp but still able to be written in. TFTC.

Find #152 on our Mega trip. This was a nice easy find - once i walked around and jumped over the creek that had developed right before GZ lol.
Thanks for the fun.

Luckily there is a long way round to get this so the feet stay dry. Cathylm almost stood on the cache to look in a spot that it wasn’t in. Thanks for the fun

TFTC. We are staying on the are for a few days prior to the mega in Wangaratta. Teaming up with Liz and Bruce and muff1 we spent the day exploring around the area caching as we went.
After spending some time on the flats we came here for a quick easy find before heading back to cam[

All is in good condition. Found and replaced. I had looked here before and found the last one that was obviously destroyed. Thought I had been tricked. Tftc.

We found it on the ground with log paper ruined on the ground

Our first geocache with our dog Frankie, nice walk from our home down Echuca Road past the cemetery. Hope you have skinny fingers for this one!

This one was a little tricky to get out of it’s hiding spot, be careful when you put it back not to get it stuck for the next person.

In town for a weekend away grabbing a few caches with omegaman1971 and Happy Feet and this one was one of several hides we came across while we ventured a little out of Shep. Found the container but needed a little maintenance on the logbook. Certainly a lumpy tree and also the ants seem to enjoy the area. Thanks chook&toon for the hide.

Omegaman1971
The Omega Empire
@ 6220 finds
In town with Happy Feet and Happy Pants trying to escape the COVID-19 craziness back home.
Had a awesome day full of laughs and finding some great caches.
Unfortunately we did have some DNF's.
Logging as Happy man.
Cheers for the fun cache.

Away for the weekend with Happy pants and omegaman1971. We were heading to Shepparton to do some caching, in an area we hadn't been before.
Many laughs and fun were had over the time, along with a variety hides found in some different areas.
Found the container on the ground with no log book. Replaced log and placed it, so it couldn't be seen on approach, so hopefully it wont get muggles quickly.
Thanks chook&toon for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

We think it was removed from the location

Found it. Pulled right up to it. Be wary of traffic with any young ones.

A quick find while staying in Mooroopna. TFTC

Shepparton to Eucha staying at the NRMA Holiday park.
Only 3 caches along the road. Set up camp & after luch we headed out to find some caches.
Thanks for placing this cache chook&toon

Log is a bit delicate, take care when removing it

A short stop to stretch the legs, a really easy find.

A huge weekend away, with over 2000km being driven over 3 days from Adelaide to Mansfield via swan hill and Echuca, then return via Bendigo and St Arnaud. The target was to collect 11 new local government areas and mostly stop and do some multis.

But the main goal was tour of Mansfield, a cycling tour consisting of 3 stages over 2 days (Saturday and Sunday).
Stage 1: 14km Individual time time trail.
Stage 2: 76km road race finishing up old Tolmie
Stage 3: 46km road race finishing up the top of mt bulla.

Wednesday I left Adelaide for Victoria via pinnaroo, I decided I would stop when I had enough of driving. I camped in the back of a cemetery yes a cemetery, nice and peaceful in Nyah. Thursday I made my way from Nyan to Mansfield via Swan Hill, Echuca and Shepparton with 2 trips over the boarder. A lot of DNFs on caches as some were barrow red off due to road works and others I must if stuffed up. I ended up camping the night in Mansfield. Friday I held my event in Mansfield with a big show of 1 (just myself)!!! And went for a drive up mt bulla. Saturday was mainly racing and Sunday after the race I made my way back to Adelaide via Victorias oldest cache and some new roads through the middle of victoria that I had never been on before.. With arrival on Monday at 1am back home. A big trip out and a great weekend away with a little under 100 finds.
Thanks for the cache placements by all the cache owners.

A nice easy drive by. tftc.

The three of us were heading to north east Mexico from Adelaide. We stopped here for a quick rest break and a cache.

Mr Tardis saw the lumpy tree and then found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache chook&toon.

Nice easy find to break up the drive with Noisy2006

Yes busy road! Found it from the car!

Found on our mega trip. Lots of caches to get. Enjoying the area

It’s a good one

Great little hide found with KB

Certainly lumpy. And holey too!

Thanks for the cache chook&toon. Found on 11 Mar 2018 at 10:35 pm. Find #5935.

Found in the last place I looked.

My sincere apologies for the late log. I have geocaching finds dating back to 2011 in my GSAK database that I am yet to log; amounting to several thousand un-logged finds across the last 9 years.

So, what to do when you find yourself in this administrative caching 'hole' nightmare? Well you seek out a 'personal assistant' (thanks GoodLook), to assist to remedy the situation of course! I thank the CO for accepting my tardy log and for your understanding.

Thank you chook&toon for placing this cache.

Nice hide and cool container. TFTC.

Spending the day out & about cache finding before it gets too hot. Quick easy drive by find.

Nice quick find to see in the new year! TFTC

Found it, now that’s what I call a real park and grab! TFTC:)

#13783. Fortunately we had a great day of fun in the sun yesterday in the Moama/Echuca region as no sooner had we got back to our accommodation than the rains came. It rained and rained and rained - here we are on our way back to Beechworth gathering a few caches as they appear on the radar.

I managed 7 smilies and a DNF, mostly in the drenching rain. Mad dogs and Englishmen and obviously cachers too.......

Nice to have a lot of cardboard boxes lining the ditch to aid us this morning. Didn't take too long to track down the cache and add our names to the log sheet. Onwards we go.

Thanks chook&toon
