[SL] - Another Missing Link Bradford, Victoria, Australia
By Team_Ninja on 15-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5MWK2

Great little wander into the bush to find this. Watch out for the bull ants

Tftc easy find just probably not the best to do in a small normal car.Log is so wet struggled to write on it

#48 chose the wrong track to get into this one but after a bit of a bush walk we soon found GZ and the cache.

Cache is a bit damp! Great seriesThanks for the cache

Easy find today and the cache is in good condition. Great history and location.

Found

A short trip up to Maldon and Heathcote this weekend grabbing a few caches on the way.Rode the rail trails this morning, firstly towards Castlemaine, and then Maldon going north west.All the cache were there, but most need some TLC. Mostly wet logs and damaged containers.My last missing link for today.Thanks for these series.Thanks, Robmc.

An unusual situation for us instead of being in lovely warm Queensland we are hiding around cold old Victoria. Medical reasons and caravan repairs have us staying here and we will be looking forward to finding as many caches as possible while we are here. SL TFTC

Out and about in the Maldon area again and it was time to finish this series. Next stop along the way and again the cache was found without issue and the log signed. Good day to be our driving these roads.

Thanks again Team Ninja....cache all good.

Sadly I spotted this one, out in the open, from a long way off. Another unsealed bag & wet log. I think this is my final find in this series. I seem to have gone from either end on different days & now finished in the middle!! A rebel to the end Many thanks

Log slightly damp but was still able to sign. TFTC

Thank you

Nice easy find

Nice walk along the bush track. Thanks for the hide and cache

TFTC interesting

Follow the rail trail.

Nice find this area could tell some stories!

The team headed off to Màldon for another week camping with our daughter during the school holidays in the caravan. Our mission was to find more caches than Uncle Brendan. Not too busy at the campsite this week-campfires, exploring, Dunolly bakery visits, playing family boardgames every night, practicing driving were highlights of the week. Thanks so much to the CO's maintaining these for us to explore.

Found @ 2:51pm #1083, 1 more to go for our mission statement to be done.

Tftc.

A great day to get some caches. Quick easy find. TFTC ️

A little bit of water in cache

We headed out for a day trip and decided this area was a great quiet location.
The winter day we got was just amazing, sunny and a delight to be geocaching in.
Thank you for placing this geocache for us to find.

Found with McAdies and Jelly_bean14.
We had a week to do some day trips in the school holidays and came here and found this geocache.
It was great fun thanks for hiding it for us to find.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
I had a great time in the area finding geocaches.
It was a nice way to spend some school holiday days.
Thanks for placing the cache for us to find!

A day trip to Maldon with the oldest geokid today to nab a few caches with friends from school, JollyWanderers (newbie cachers). The dogs enjoyed the walk to this cache. Amazing to see the history left in the landscape. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache!

We found this one quickly.off to the next one

Caching in the area we were able to finish off the SL series after running out of time on our last visit here. Starting backwards we worked our way down to Floodway, enjoying the remnants of the old abandoned railway that each cache had to show us.
Spotted the burnt stump easily.
Thanks AussieTrainDriver for highlighting this historic railway line.

Found in unrenewed life. A victim of your summer past. A word from god that must of enough bakery goods, drawing and long hair

**Find #: 6588**
**Time: 2:59 pm**
**Date: Tue 12 Nov 2019**
The day dawned a bit cooler today in Saint Arnaud.
We started out doing some of the StArs geo art, but then headed of to Bendigo for a baby sitting day tomorrow.
On the way we deviated to get Forte's Ground, and then some very enjoyable caches nearer Bendigo,

**Thanks for placing this cache AussieTrainDriver**

Heading south for the St. Arnaud event next month after leaving QOGM in Blackall. Day 60 of our trip. Caching along the way. A total of 8 caches for the day and 1699 for the trip. TFTC

A quick park n grab!

Had a good day

TFTC. Quick find while out with my daughter Sue.

FoundzNice little bush walk.

Tftc nice hide

Maryborough to Maldon staying at Butts Reserve
After setting up camp we decided to begin the SL trail starting from the end.
We glimpsed many sections of the abandoned railway line. Enjoyed our day travelling the country side.
Thanks for placing this cache AussieTrainDriver

We located this cache in the interesting rail series. Thanks Team_Ninja, found with Motndarg.

Another cache located in this interesting series today with McLookers. TFTH

A quick grab and we were on our way on this interesting run of caches thanks Team_ninja.

Thankyou for another good hide. Right where it it should be.

A quick walk from Pollard station platform saw the cache in hand.
Lots of roads everywhere here.
TFTC

On a well earned break in Castlemaine and I’m spending the time just touring the whole area, enjoying the sites and picking up caches as I go.
No bike trail will be made along this old line.
Thanks Team_Ninja TFTC TFTS.

Found by G & A

TFTC and for sharing the history of this particular Rail Line. Er had completed some of the SL series caches from the Maldon end a week or so ago. Being a nice day for a drive we decide to complete the series , starting form this end . We could then circle from Maryborough to Maldon and then back to Maryborough without having to do any back tracking.=For the most part we found the caches without too much drama. One of the multis gave us a bit of trouble, more of that in the log for that particular cache. A great series and worthy of a favorite from us.

Another find on my way home from work on a Sunday afternoon. So peaceful out here. TFTC

Thanks team ninja.

On a day out with Wozzle68 and MazzyMay with the idea of getting the 100 for the month. At the start of the day we thought we would be fighting the rain but as the day went on it turned out to be OK . TFTC.

Maldon was the target for today's caching foray in the company of Wozzle68 and Dippa46, we had a wonderful day investigating the area, getting a lot of exercise, more than necessary in some cases, but fun nevertheless. Really enjoying the series. TFTC

Caching the Maldon area today with MazzyMay and Dippa46 trying to chalk up a few virtual souvenirs. The rain threatened to spoil our day early on but soon cleared up and turned into a great day for it. Thanks for the hide AussieTrainDriver!

Another quick find today, thanks for all the great info and TFTC

Tftc

Found on a brisk morning. Another from this great series. Meant to be on a day off, but as I have to work I can justify doing a few caches on the way to Maldon. Nice easy find.

Thx

This is our second one,,found by Laura 27/7/2017

Off to a late start with grandkids and got it swaps done and next please tftc

We have done parts of this series from Maldon and it was good that we could continue to do some more of it today. It was intermittently raining today which meant we could not see all the embankments as per your photos. Still we enjoyed our run of six caches today.
TFTC Team_Ninja

A good stroll along the line here
Nice to find this bit of the line is still accessible [^]

TFTC.

I thought I'd make the most of my one day off and this beautiful weather to go out and find the SL Series, starting from The End and working my way back. I loved the history and the amount of work gone into creating this series.

Found at 12.05pm. Had to twiddle my thumbs whilst a local muggle went past herding sheep into a nearby paddock. Then it was a nice quick find and signed the log. Thank you for the cache Team Ninja

#531

Found with Tassydevil. A quick find. Thanks.

A find with Bill Gosse. TFTC

Suscoe headed north very early this morning for a day of caching around the Maldon and Newstead area.
We left home in steady drizzle but by the time we crossed the divide the sky eased up a bit. For the remainder of the day we had sunny skies with the occasional cloud and a generous southerly wind blowing which kept temperatures in the high teens and low twenties.
The country is pretty dry around here but we were pleased to report that grass seeds are not as bad here compared to the North East and even Castlemaine.
We enjoyed this Maldon - Shelbourne railway trail and had a terrific morning making our way from The End to The Beginning.
A big thank you to Team Ninja for a very well researched set of Cache notes and for sharing this knowledge with us.

Fires must always be a worry out here once the weather warms up.
We were enjoying the info and the locations.

Another good find while exploring around the area. SL TFTC

Found this as part of our boys road trip away with SAWSTUFF - Astro, Waldron, SxC, White Dog Gang, Uni, Four Fun and Freddo.

Thanks for placing and maintaining your cache for our enjoyment.

Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

A 4 day trip from Adelaide to Everton, Beechworth and surrounds.

8 of South Australia's finest caching teams came across the border Freddo, Team Astro, The White Dog Gang, Four Fun, Unicycle, Southern Cross Caching, Shonkloic, and Team Waldron hit the bike trails and country back roads.

It wasn't nice the the mozzies were sent to defend the ceches against us but we persisted.

On the way home we visited Bendigo, St Arnaud and many towns in between.

Many thanks to all the cache owners who put out caches for us to find.

A great time was had and we left enough to make another trip worthwhile.

Great cache found during the "SAW STUFF" road, bicycle & walking trip to central Victoria with Shonky, Astro, Waldron, Southern XC, Uni & Freddo
Easy find, cool spot, great cache
TFTC Team_Ninja

Came along and found this with SAWSTUFF - Astro, Waldron, SxC, White Dog Gang, Uni, Four Fun and Freddo. Thanks Team Ninja

Found on an awesome trip with the SAW STUFF boys (Shonky, Astro[me], Waldron, Southern Cross, Whitedog, Unicycle, Freddo & Four-Fun). The trip had it all including this awesome cache. There were pots and schooners (no pints) , mazzive mozzies the size of small elephants we hitched rides on , realistic lizards, real live [xx(] kangaroos that got too close and uphills. Then there were bikes and pumps. There was sweat and dust but no tears. My thanks to the group and the coordination that enabled an amazing fun filled few days that will go down in caching-lore. [^]

Thanks to Team_Ninja and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

We CAME. We CACHED. We SAW STUFF. Eight South Australian caching teams on the prowl in Lake Victoria. We were attacked by vampire mosquitoes. We were attacked by rogue magpies. We were attacked by brown snakes. We were attacked by running kangaroos. We were attacked by publicans and cooks. In the end we got the message and went home, but not before finding lots of hidden cachey things using billions of dollars of satellites and cheap hand-held devices.

One of many fun finds on along the way on the "SAW STUFF" road trip to central Victoria with Shonki, Astro, Waldron, Southern cross, Twdg, Uni & Freddo [^]

Bendigo Cup Day and the Sisterhood of the Cargo Pants were off on a day out. We had lots of fun except for the damn mosquitoes everywhere.

Because we all live in Bendigo we started from The End and worked our way towards Maldon

Sorry have amended log, another find, no hassles. TFTC

Find #1081 for me. The gate to the nearby property was open as I parked close by but I saw no sign of anybody. Happy to make another quick find here. Thanks for the cache and the series Team_Ninja!

Enjoyed a bit of a walk to this one on a lovely sunny day.
Easy find, signed and replaced. TFTC.

Another simple find. TFTC

We couldn't really make out the remains of the bridge, so we just went in and out, trying to avoid the farmers who were at the sheds behind us, which is clearly where all the sheep had come from. Thanks for the hide.

Yay

Found with TeamLauren and wickedfizz and geo amigo. Thanks for the cache.

Found with emthegem, wickedfizz and goamigo. Tftc.

Found at 1520 with JulieNicholson8. Beautiful arvo for caching at a beautiful spot. TNLN TFTC!

With Narnie. Easy find.

Working backwards towards Maldon rather than from it, I ended up doing the whole SL series, rather than my initial plan of 5 or 6. Found, signed and returned to its hiding spot. Thanks to Team Ninja for a great series, full of history, lots of quiet roads, and great positioning of hides, where the car could be safely parked off the roads.

My sister had to be picked up in Castlemaine so we (neisha07, chan02 & becca85) continued on to cache the looong way home. We took roads we never would have before, visited cool places and found some great caches. A great arvo. TFTC

Took the scenic route home from Castlemaine to Maryborough and grabbed most of the SL series in Maldon with a few others on our way. Found with becca865, boo09 & neisha07. Lots of fun. TFTC!

Cached the long way home from Castlemaine this arvo via Maldon. Some cool places visited. TFTC

I have an aim to hit 999 cache finds this week to make the Skipton Cave Event my 1000th.
This is easier said than done when I have found all within 40 minutes of home.
Today we needed to be in Castlemaine so figured we would take a detour home... With neisha07, chan02 & boo09 in tow, the 45 minute trip took us 4 hours...
We grabbed a few on the back road to Maldon before stopping for some afternoon tea then taking the SL trail to Laane then home.
A nice dent made in the numbers and unexplored roads discovered. TFTC
