Liz and Bruce seek out Honeysucker Kotupna, Victoria, Australia
By Liz and Bruce (maintenance by Honeysucker) on 27-Jan-15. Waypoint GC5KXF8

Quick find on a camping trip for the long weekend with Operator & all the muggles from both families. This one was collected last evening when the blistering heat settled down, & before the little muggles settled in for the movie night at the local caravan park. Cache & log in good nick - thanks for placing a cache close to the camping ground so we could get a sneaky find in while doing the family thing!

We were visiting the oasis and collected this happy little gem before movie night.Found with Mello2

Beautiful stay at Wakiti Creek Resort

With dot558 and aufait on a couple of smilesThank yo

Found it with 46x

I was looking to log a letterbox cache as part of this months wheel of challenges souvenir. I couldnt find the one nearby so i was very happy to be able to put my hand on this one nice and quickly. A lovely cache in lovely condition and in a lovely spot to boot. Perfect!

My Trip
Yesterday i managed to strain my knee while doing some cleaning up outside, this morning it seemed to hurt more and i decided that i wouldnt be able to get back to the task today. I was feeling a bit caged inside and wondered what i could do that wouldnt strain my left knee too much while also allowing me to do some gentle exercise as well. Driving would be ok... Short walks would help it.... Some sun and nature always makes me feel better.... hmmm.... Well caching sounds perfect!
So i checked out my map and decided to head in the Shep direction where i could catch an event as well. So i strapped the knee, grabbed the geopooch and my geo-go bag and set off.

The house is being painted, we have an excitable puppy, so we decided to go away for 5 days up to Wakiti near Echuca using our Travel Auctions win. Very good value with lovely owners.
This morning we were heading off for a day of caching and of course had to stop at this one on the way out! Nice easy find - the utiful stamp was in with the actual cache btw. Geopuppy was more interested in the cows in the field opposite lol
TFTC Liz and Bruce and Honeysucker, it was very cool having one right outside the front gate - GJMMelb

I have been Geocaching for the last year as part of team Dromaniax. We have enjoyed the Geocaching caching around a lot of Victoria in that time. From our first trip up to the Murray River, the next trip to Lake Eildon and the area around Buxton, an epic trip to the Little Desert to attack the This is SA series, then a great trip with our father to the High Country in Victoria, a trip to the Mornington Peninsula and a trip to the Albury-Hume Reservoir area.

I finally decided to set up my own account and am claiming all the caches I have found as part of Dromaniax.

Thank you for this Letterbox cache Liz and Bruce and to Honeysucker for maintaining it.

Found with O319. TFTC

Bee-ute cache.

I needed a non trad today and as we were short on time because of other commitments I had a quick survey of the countryside to see how far we had to travel to meet the requirements I needed . Beauty, not too far I see. Both caches were straight forward and found in good condition. Thank you honeysucker .

Tftc

As we progressed along the road, we were drawn in by the signs to the resort. So much so that, after we perused the situation, and located the cache, we went to the office and made enquiries about a family holiday here. Driving through the resort, we were impressed with the facilities. Who would have known it existed?
Thanks for the introduction Liz and Bruce, and for maintaining the cache, which is in excellent condition, Honeysucker.

Many thanks Liz and Bruce for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

A lovely Saturday morning greeted us after a night with a fair bit of rain as we awoke right next to the mighty Murray River, and after breakfast, we set off for a day of caching. We had several target caches in mind, and we were happy to pick up whatever attracted the eye as we drove around. It isn't many days of caching that you pick up multiple Letterbox caches, but today was one such day, with this being the second for the day. We felt a little apprehensive as we approached the cache, but we saw what we wanted to see once open. The cache is in excellent condition. Thank you for placing this cache, Liz and Bruce, and to Honeysucker for maintaining it.

Found today after spending our weekend here. Beautiful place. Cache and contents in good condition. TNLNSL. Thankyou for the cache

Easy find by Geowife. Always like a cache that’s a lil different. The resort looks packed on this Easter weekend. TFTC Liz and Bruce

Drove out on a very hot day to grab this cache and complete my wonders of the world souvenirs. A quick find after dodging the many muggles coming and going. TFTC

Clever hide in what looks like a beautiful spot. I've often seen the signs on the Echuca Road but never been past here. TFTC

Another fantastic find. Thanks

Tftc with holiday geo fam

Nice Homely letterbox. Cute stamp too. Tftc

Easy to find

We're staying at the nearby Wakiti Creek Resort and after a very late breakfast, I convinced M to come out for a bike ride to grab the nearby caches. This was an easy find complicated by the traffic coming in and out the driveway of the resort and meant we had to time our retrieval and return carefully.

Thanks for find #1681

In Echuca for a few days, we decided to head out this way to pick up some smileys. bit hesitant at first and then read the hint. Picked up a nice path tag as well.Tftc

Staying at Wakiti resort and decided to explore the area and pick up some geocaches. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache

Cool, a letterbox cache, as we near the end of our caching day in the Goulburn Valley area. Being school holidays it looks like Honeysucker has quite a few visitors at his place! It is about 3 years since we were in this area, and we have a few more caches under our belt now! SL at 5.10pm Left: glow eagle PT #6321 TFT Letter box cache Liz and Bruce and Honeysucker

Thanks for the cache!

Another day on the road as I make my way from Adelaide to Tasmania, via country Victoria.

Its been s leisurely trip, visiting some interesting places and some delightful little towns along the way, and seeking out a few select caches to break up (and in some cases guide) the journey. The weather has been good too, although perhaps a little bit hot for my liking. But its March - you get that!

After camping on the bank of the Murray near Echuca, I made my way east more or less following the river. It was great to be able to find 3 traditionals, 7 unknowns, 3 letterbox hybrids, a couple of multis and an earthcache today. And only one DNF!

This was a quick find in an ‘interesting’ location!

Thanks Liz and Bruce for the cache.

Thanks for the cache

Staying here at Wakiti Creek Resort, it was nice to see one close by. It was a nice hide with loot that wasn’t trash - ticks all round. Thanks

Hi there Liz and Bruce.

We found your cache **"Liz and Bruce seek out Honeysucker"** today. (This makes our find count 19299).

When Ian gave Penny the choice of direction for todays cache raid, she said "East". So eastwards we went - well sort of. Lotsa bees around here, but none of the honey sucking variety.

We found 15 caches today (DNF'd 0) & thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

***Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book is in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found on the way home from our fun road trip with my Clarmensma family - becca85, GemmaSistema, neisha07, Ad & Luke. We had a great trip and visited some cool places and caches. TFTC!

Yay for school holidays and Clarmensma road trips!
Found with becca85, GemmaSistema, boo09, Ad & Luke on our way back home. TFTC

Very cool!
Stamped or signed as 'Team Clarmensma' AKA myself, GemmaSistema, neisha07, boo09, AdamSistema & LukeSistema.
School holidays yet again and we thought we'd stay the night in Echuca. It took us about 6 hours to get there from Maryborough and about 13 to get home.

A fun trip with only minimal rain, a handful of DNF's, some previous DNF's that are now smilies and 7 cache types found over the 2 days.

TFTC

Ooh a rare cache type. Loved this one and the secret door! Adding a fav point.

Today was day 2 of a 2 day road trip with Team Clarmensma (GemmaSistema & becca85 and our 4 geokids - neisha07, AdamSistema, boo09 & LukeSistema). The Sistema crew left Echuca and caches our way via Moama, Barmah, Picola, Yambuna, Koyuga, Nanneella, Rochester, Burnewang, Elmore and Bendigo before heading home via Maryborough to drop off the 3 girls and finishing at home in Ballarat about 11pm. We had plenty of finds, a few DNFs and heaps of laughter and fun as we cached along back roads, through tiny towns, around and across across amazing rivers with stunning scenery wherever we went. Thanks so much for putting this cache out for us to find and enjoy. We really appreciate it.

Camping in Wakiti Creek so it had to be done tftc with midaho

Whilst staying at Wakiti Creek Resort it wiuld be rude not to walk out and get this one. T4tc

Another day in the area to finish what we did not do
yesterday. Cheeky hide which tricked us just a little
bit. Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks Liz and Bruce and Honeysucker

Catching up on logging some caches I forgot to log online.

Thanks for the this letterbox cache Honeysucker

Awsome hide! Thanks for bringing us here! It was really nice the see that the location is also pet friendly!

This was a very nice hide. At a great spot thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce (maintenance by Honeysucker) With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

My wife had booked a camping holiday with her cousins and all of our kids in Wakiti Creek, somewhere I had never heard of. So of course the first thing I did was check to see how many caches were in the area. I couldn't really pinpoint where we were in relation to the caches so I was pleasantly surprised when I realised we were practically on top of four of them.

So after dinner one night I borrowed the 10 year old's bike and took off. I was a bit surprised to realise that not only where there some caches nearby but that I was practically camping on top of one. A nice hide here and certainly living up to its cache type. Thanks for the cache Liz, Bruce and Honeysucker and an enjoyable week.

Perfect weather for caching to the east of Echuca, in the very good company of the Suscoe duo. We found a variety of caches, learnt a little more local history and visited places we would not have seen were it not for the geo-game.

Our second visit to this location/cache.

Thanks Liz and Bruce for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Suscoe and Phetlern headed out nice and early today for a terrific day of caching in this area of the state.
It was a magical Spring day, so much sun, a few clouds, a gentle breeze and great company to be with as we headed around the roads.
We had done our preparation, planning the order of caches, sorting out puzzles and printing the multi pages.
Lunch on the road and fair weather, caches to find: what else could you ask for.
Thanks to Liz and Bruce for this cache.

So grateful to be here during tepee series run and visit the Waiki Creek.
Great hide.
Thanks Liz and Bruce for bring me here and cache.

This was our last day here in Echuca and we had a few more solved puzzles to grab. The weather was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed another day here. Once again, thanks to the CO's for their efforts. We can't wait to return here. TFTC Liz and Bruce

First find for the day after meeting up with other cachers. As they had already found it so left it to Wal-Len and me to make the easy find. Stamped my book.

Found with Surefoot24, CyberGran, Delirious, Lizziene and others while in area for event

*5/8/17, Found @ 12:47 pm, Find # 6894.*

Another weekend and another road trip, this time I was headed to Echuca to attend the next lead up event for the Alexandra Mega.
A long the way a had a few missions to complete and of course there are a lot of other caches to be found, this being a one of these said caches.

**Thanks to Liz and Bruce for placing this cache.**

Nice to see such a large cache. TFTC

Today was a mixed day as were not always able to hunt for caches due to the low lying water after the recent rain. The mozzies were also very hungry and the grass very long. It was still an interesting, though sometimes frustrating caching day.

This was at least an easy cache to find. It is well protected and shouldn't be bothered by muggles. Log was signed and all was replaced where found. Thank you to Liz and Bruce for a nice simple letter box cache. All our trackables on hand came to visit.

17:13
Finally got motivated to attempt a few caches between the lunchtime event and the dinner event... so off on the dusty road harbouring the most interesting looking cluster of caches within striking distance. On reflection, perhaps a journey better suited for the better half's soft roader, rather than my hatch, but I'm sure the dust will wash or blow out of all the crevices eventually.

The second of two letterboxes this afternoon, and quite different from the other. Very cleverly placed... though less difficult than it could have been, as the cache was not quite as out of sight as it should be. Not so much, when I'd signed.

Thanks, Liz and Bruce, for Letterbox #18.

We have enjoyed hosting these CO's near our own mailbox, so it was nice to post a stamp here marking another spot along their route.

Our thanks to Liz and Bruce for leading us to the reservation.

Found it

Trying to catch up with a lot of missed logging found unmarked in the cache book.
Found while staying in Echuca.
Thanks for the hide,

Catching up with some late logs.

Mrs Crackers was travelling with maccamob to Echuca stopping picking up a few caches along the way. We stopped at the entrance at this large letterbox and soon saw what we needed to do to be able to log this cache.
The paperwork was completed and we were off to the event.

Thanks Liz & Bruce for the cache.

An awesome letterbox hybrid, close to an event that we were attending - Thanks Liz and Bruce.

Since we were driving past, it would have been insulting not to stop and pick this cache up on our way in. We picked this cache up at 2:21pm. Then it was time to head in, work out where we were meant to be and be sociable.

Heading from Bendigo up to the event outside Echuca, The Morris and I were making a few stops along the way. We did a good mix of GC and GCA caches and made it to the event only a few minutes late.

Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce.

Found by Mary & David at 1250. We are finally here for this afternoon's Event. A nice quick find in a great spot. Our thanks to Liz and Bruce.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...

Ejoyed finding this cache on our way to the Look who has come a wondering through event!

Thanks for the fun Liz and Bruce!

Heading over the event in Echuca with LouiseAnne and we are nearly there. We guessed the location as we were pulling up and sure enough the well concealed cache was soon located. Time to meet the locals.

We found the cache and we found the honeysucker. Tftc Liz and Bruce.

A hive of activity around Wakiti Creek this morning, there were caches to be found! This letterbox cache marked the first of the day, as we headed off to Echucha to see how many we could find. TFTC Liz and Bruce!

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Found today whilst going to Echuca. Very nice to meet honeysucker and loved his touch of Paradise looks a very peaceful place to stay. HtFTC LS

On a very quiet back road through a forest I think I might have found Honeysucker's hideaway [:o]
At the gate I stood bemused.
Where oh where would the cache bee ??
Somebody who probably has something to do with running the hive, was buzzing around nearby.

That didn't stop me sneaking in for a look see after reading the notes and realising where this cache was !! [:o]
And there it was

While sticking the cache back where it belonged,
un-noticed a truck full of posts turned up and the driver asked me where I wanted them put !!
"Er !! Dunno I said, I'm just checking the mail,
You had better ask the boss over there driving the quad bike around."

That bit of quick thinking got me out of a sticky pot of honey

TFTC !! Sweet !!

Found at 3:59 PM GAFF1.
Well - we made it! Finally got to Garry & Deb's park and had a fantastic night with them. This really is a beautiful and peaceful place.
Thanks Liz and Bruce.

Quick find for us today while out to get a new cache that was just published this morning , thought we might as well do a couple while we were out and about TFTC TN left pathtag

Found this after attending Honeysuckers event to,celebrate 15 years of geocaching Good to catch up,with other cachers TFTC Liz and Bruce

they came they saw and left their mark and found Honeysucker

as i helped in the placement only now am i logging the find thanks the Lovies

Dalerious and I ventured out from the event for a couple of nearby caches this afternoon, this being one of them. Team effort soon had the quality cache in hand, we logged, stamped, and replaced it back to it's very clever hiding spot. Thanks to Liz and Bruce, wished you had of been here to share this weekend. A lovely cache seeking out the Honeysuckers.

Honeysucker is throwing a party so I'm going. They've been living near home for a few months but I haven't had a chance to drive out to their party pad yet.

Today I made a quick stop at a couple of new letterboxes to check the mail. This was the first stop, right at the front gate.

Thank you, Liz and Bruce, for this cache.

4314 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1045 on our way to The Geocaching is 15 today event at Wakiti Creek. As we were about 2 and 1/2 hours early the closest caches had to be found and logged.What a great way to present a mailbox cache. Made the find SL ( didn't need any maintenance) Tnx Liz and Bruce.

My very first mailbox cache and first chance to use my stamp for its intensed purpose
The downside of signing the log of this clever cache is that it officially signs the end of a lovely day with Honnysucker and guests at his "Geocaching is 15 Today" event.
Well officially that is 'cos we are staying over.
TFTC Honeysucker.

Tftc (:

Thank you. Quick easy find on our way out.

This was a quick look and find after the birthday event near by. Thanks for a lovely afternoon. SL TFTC

First letter box cache for me. TFTC

Quickly found on the way to the birthday event nearby. Great hide.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

At the last moment, I received time off of work in order to head over to do the High Voltage 101 power trail and spend time 4WDing in the amazing and wonderful Victorian high country
GPS, thewhitedoggang and Princess Consuela were my travelling companions and great company they were, too [^]
All up, over 6 days, 161 caches were found with only 2 DNFs (one of which we later realised was already disabled )
Also, during our High Voltage experience, I hit my 8,000th cache find

A nicely set up cache hide and right at the doorway to a lovely place to visit....
My first cache for the day and it was with sadness that I pulled up behind GPS after they had found it, as it meant that we were leaving the lovely company of some friends who had graciously cared for us last night and this morning prior to our departure.
Many thanks for your hospitality, Honeysucker and Sew That
Hopefully we will see you again before too long.

After staying the night with our friends Honeysuckers, we just had to check the mail on the way out. Low and behold, what did we find! Our friends Liz and Bruce had left us a geocache. Yay. an easy find! We were travelling with Locus Cache and White Dog Gang on our way from Adelaide to the High Voltage power trail. The nearby facilities made a great place to stay overnight. Thanks for leaving a nice surprise L&B!!

Found during our High Country Victoria trip with Gordon Patrick Samuel (GPS), locus cache & Princess Consuela.
We were well looked after by the nearby establishment & was great to catch up with Mr & Mrs Bee
TFTC Liz & Bruce

We started this journey with the intention of cache maintenance and caches a few in Shepparton and brought our bikes with this in mind. At Stanhope, we decided to do the Whroo caches instead.

With a diversion on the way home as we are unable to attend the event next week.

Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce

It was great to see a letterbox cache spring up in area so off we went to check it out. The coordinates took us to an area I hadn't travelled before and a very interesting holiday prospect. Cabins, teepees, camping sites etc in the Aussie bush. I can't wait to try it out. Best of all - we met two Honeysuckers. Thanks Liz and Bruce for this special cache. I took two much needed lanyards and left an address book and a toy. I don't know how many times I have put down my GPS when I have been caching and left it there. They are now being used. Thank you for the lanyards and the surprise path tag.

With the choice of which direction to travel in today, I selected this area. I needed to pick up a nearby multi for my March month of multis challenge, and I love letterboxes. And oh! Look! A new letterbox has appeared on the map! But guess who was the first to sign? Not us, that's for sure, but apparently we get a bronze medal.
And we got sprung by a Honeysucker and what a pleasure that was. Hopefully we will be back here soon for an event, we've booked a cabin just in case.
Consequently I am delighted with my choice of direction. I am a firm believer in serendipity.
And thanks for the cache, the whole experience was so good I am giving you your first favourite point

Thanks for the cache! It was lovely to meet Honeysucker and Mrs Honeysucker too

The last cache of the day and a good one it was too. Many thanks to Liz and Bruce for seeking out the elusive Honeysucker!

When we arrived we realised that we have been through this way before on the way home from Echuca. Found, appropriately stamped & logged ... Great hiding place. FTF ... TNLN. TFTC.
