By Team_Ninja on 15-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5MWPE

Thanks.Nice drive.

#44 Quick easy find for the kids off to the next on the trail

It was hard but pretty good

We have really liked the drive out here with all the animals and the caching. Thanks so much for the cache

Our first geocache that we manage to find so very exciting

Found

Found 02/01/24. The container has a crack in it, but still all good inside. Thank you!

First ever cache I've found. The box itself has seen better days, but appears to be holding up okay where it's located.

TFTC! I've added an item.

Found it, thanks

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...and unfortunately the end of the series. Enjoyed the locations, and especially enjoyed the cache page and the details contained there.

Thanks again Team Ninja....a fun series and informative series. A fav point again for all that.
Cache here is all good.

Road in worried me due to front wheel drive so walked the last 700metres
First for today
Thanks

The road here made me a bit worried but all ok, got there safely, found and signed. Thanks

On my way from Laanecoorie Res (10km training paddle) to Kangaroo Flat to meet a friend for coffee. Couldn't resist squeezing a few more of this series in. So "The End" is actually my beginning today
A nice quick find here. Many thanks

Found today on the way to a family Christmas in the country as my centroid cache.
My centroid was in the middle of 3 caches. This being one of them.
Had to get this done today before travelling overseas next year. Ha.

There was an animal in the tree!!

Nice easy find

Thanks for a very enjoyable series of caches

Thank you for the cache and hide.

Love these old road/rail crossings, always interesting to see remnants of days gone by. We kept travelling to the end of the road and spotted the fantastic old building at the Punton Rd intersection - looks like an old house? But the portico makes it also look a bit schoolhouse/church-ish. Anyway, loved seeing it too. Would be an amazing fixer-upper!!! SL TFTC

Down in Victoria for the long awaited (and necessarily postponed) Wangaratta MEGA, and a little holiday chasing the usual (oldies, counties and windmills). Just for something different we are adding AL's to the hit list and the graves of the regionally buried dead premiers. Lol the things we will do for a cache! Great to add this one to the list. Thanks for the cache.

Quickly found on a back road on the way back to Canberra. TFTC.

Quick easy find

Found with LittleBoss2 on a beautiful day travelling. We walked and sometimes bush bashed to a lot of caches today on our way from Bendigo to HallsGap. So many amazing views today, making us feel so grateful to live in Victoria.
Our thanks to Team Ninja for bringing us here

Heading off to Halls Gap for a couple of days with Bogonghazy. Quick detour. Easy find. Thanks for placing the Geocache

TFTC beautiful scenery and nice country

Its the end of the line ant the perfect end to an afternoons geocaching, thank you so much for the fun caches and glorious views.

Nice easy find to finish the day

Great series!

Found in tree

Thanks

Thanks

Lovely quiet drive to find this cache. Quick easy find. TFTC ️

Thank you very much for the series. Informative and at times frustrating. Did not solve any of the multis. Oh and TFTC.

Dropped by here this morning to confirm the presence of a TB (on behalf of the owner) and took it to keep it moving. All good at GZ!

Nice drive to this one.cache is in good condition tftc . We left a travel bug in the cache..happy geo cacheing.

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.
Thanks AussieTrainDriver for highlighting this historic railway line.

Cool

Woah

It has taken me a few years to finally reach the end of the line.
I did so today and your cache is in good condition.
Love old railway infrastructure!

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,
We very much enjoyed this Shelbourne Link series. Lovely roads and very pleasant caching.

**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 2 caches for the day and 1693 for the trip. TFTC

TFTC. Quick find while out with my daughter Sue. Many thanks for putting this series for our enjoyment. Good to go on roads we have never been on before.

First for the day

We found it. First for the day

Tftc thanks for the history

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

Was so busy reading and lamenting about those lovely trestles bridges being blown up that Mrs Riddell forgot to log Laanecoorie Extension.
When we arrived here we had a quick and easy find and are now lamenting that we have come to the end of this 'trail' of discovery!
TFTC of

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.
Thanks for this great series and all of the information that you have managed to reasearch on it.
A favourite goes out to Aussie Train Driver for it as well.
Thanks Team_Ninja TFTC TFTS.

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.

After a rather frustrating day of not being able to find 3 caches, I would like to say a special thank you for not making this one difficult to find. I did place some bark over the top though coz we don’t want the muggles to accidentally find it. TFTC

DNF

Found it

Yay

Another quick find today, thanks Team_Ninja a fav from me

tftc was a quick and easy find

Found out with wildnic26, beautiful day to play hookie.

We're out avoiding chores by gathering caches instead on a windy Sunday afternoon. Thanks for providing this distraction as well as the interesting train history.

Thanks! Found with heymissjo

I originally found this cache with my Mum heymissjo, but now that I have my own account, I am logging. Thanks for the cache.

For the past few years I have cached as part of "team heymissjo", but now have my own account so logging the find.

Easy find, left some goodies behind.

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

Over Lannecoorie way today and I decided on a few caches on the way home. What a great little series. Beautiful country roads, colour birds everywhere and a bright blue sky. Many thanks for the caches

I was headed somewhere today
And the geocaches were guiding the way
Which happened to by this branch line full of hisory

OH I loves a bit of railway history [:X]

So at the end of the line,
I started me caching journey back to Maldon

An easy find here to start [^]

So far so good !!

TFTC and history

I dropped off "NUTS 4 A CACHE" TB here !!

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 this cache at 10.50am. A nice easy find - thank you for the cache Team Ninja

Out with Bill Gosse looking for SL series - 1st one for the day. TFTC

Found with Tassydevil. Nice day to be out in the countyside. Thanks

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.
A quick find here and all quiet on the roads this morning.

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. A favorite added for the series.

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

Found this with SAWSTUFF - Astro, Waldron, SxC, White Dog Gang, Uni, Four Fun and Freddo. Caching Bikes and Beers... what more could you want? 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!

The start. 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 [^]
Cheers & TFTCTeam_Ninja

Found at 15:00
On a road trip with “SAW STUFF”: Shonky Astro, Waldron，SXC, TWDG，Uni， Freddo， Four Fun
Thanks Team_Ninja

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.

This series was out goal for today and because we all live in Bendigo we started from The End and worked our way towards Maldon

Out geocaching with the Sisterhood on Bendigo Cup Day and we started at the end and worked our way towards Maldon. TNLNSL TFTC
~ Crazy Creels

Today was the local Bendigo Cup public holiday, so the Sisterhood of the Cargo Pants decided on a geocaching trip to knock off this series, starting from 'The End'. TFTC

Find #1075 for me. Recovering from a nasty chest virus I thought I should respect my work colleagues' wishes and stay away from work again today but I couldn't stand another day stuck indoors when the great weather was screaming "get outside!"... so I thought I'd have a go at this series which has been on my radar for some time. Maybe I started at the wrong end of the series, but I began with this one then worked my way toward Maldon. I had a quick find here getting me off to a great start. Thanks for the cache and the series Team_Ninja!

Quickly had this one in hand the first of the series so far,
A lovely day to be out and about caching. Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Found it pretty easily. TFTC

After a successful weekend away in the St Arnaud area we were heading to Bendigo for a few days of caching around the area. As we always like to do a railway inspired cache, this was a must do. Hopefully we can finish this series this week.

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

Found with emthegem, wickedfizz and goamigo. Tftc.

Journeying home from the Wedderburn Weekend, these "popped" up on the Montana. I looked at the time, and decided, I should manage 5-6 on the way, so took the necessary detour, and started at "The End". Lots of history here as I travelled from cache to cache. I could well imagine the rattles of the trains as they rolled along this track. My thanks to Team Ninja for the cache and the series.

Breanne Jordan found this with her Dad

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.
Our last for the day. TFTC

I actually started here so it wasn't the end for me. I also noticed the red gates which meant that it is the start, or maybe the end.

Found at 4pm (knocked off early). I'm starting at the end of the line today. I would never have known that there was a railway line here. Thanks for the education.the cache is well stocked and in good condition.
