TST No 9: Bug Bear's favourite Traralgon South, Victoria, Australia
By valleycaching on 21-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5T0B6

This series has had its time, archiving.

A short trip into Gippsland with the deadly treadly for some caches.I started in Traralgon on the TCT trail, then onto the TST trail.It is always a worry when the CO says "It should be very easy to find"Thanks, Robmc.

Log wet

Out with Supaseeker and Shumba7 on the geoscooter, geoeuc and geoelectric bicycle. TFTC.

TFTC took out a newbie and got his first caches, supa seeker was on his pedal assist bicycle, Algae on his electric unicycle and me on my new electric scooter, we smashed out the series except 2 we wouldn’t find. Great morning out:-) ️

Last one for the day. Exhausted and sweaty lol Tftc

Time for an icecream. Thanks for the trail. Will finish the rest soon. TFTC

We first started this series back in January 2017 and it went well until a few DNFs and then my wife who was running the trail came back saying the trail was blocked off and we called it quits. Today was the first time I had time to really come back. After FTFs did help me find the time and inspiration to return. Clearly didn't do them in order, or very efficiently, but pleased to have the whole series with smiley faces now.

Not a DNF any more and was a quick find when I followed the GPS. Instead of looking at the giant stump.

Thanks for the cache valley caching

All in good condition.
Ready to go.

Have been tied up since getting home. Will perform maintenance soon.

Disabling until we can check on this after the recent storms and floods.
Currently travelling so will perform maintenance in October when we arrive home.

Saw a couple of ducks on the way to this one, nice view of the motorbike track. Great hide easy for the geokids to find. TFTC

TFTC valleycaching. Nice and easy one

Great swag inside I am taking red frog to next one we do

We found it quite easily

Thanks for the find

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so I decided to head out for a day out of the house and a nice walk along the TCT trail, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves, sanitizer and mask I ventured out, I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places.

Thanks valleycaching for the cache.

Very nice and easy

Cute hide thank you

Found with the beautiful mango mermaid during our run today.
Will see how many in the series.
Thank you for the cache

Nice quick find TFTC

A quick easy find by my 6 year old, with my 4 year old leading the way and enjoying using the compass now! Left some swaps, too.

Watch for spider webs

Got the family up at 5.30 this morning to head out to Traralgon to do the Parkrun, Parkrun event, some breaky and some local cache. The weather was terrible today, sideways rain and wind with s chill in it. Anyway after breaky I decided would brave some of this trail alone, the fam were happy to sit in the car and play tech. Told them to come find me in an hour, and off I went. Was a nice little trail, and didn’t see a sole! Deeeeer... only one idiot out there today. Thanks for the fun.

Another nice easy one, followed the geo trail to an obvious object with a cache in it. Best cache container I’ve seen on this trail yet. TFTC.

Found today with Marshall’s Geelong!

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today with LCASS on our Gippsland adventure,
Cache was exposed. Hidden slightly better.

Thanks for the opportunity to collect so many smiles and have a pleasant walk. The road was very busy on this Easter Monday. TFTC

Good spot

We are having a great find today, lovely weather and great spots.

Passing by on the way to Tarra-Bulga and couldn't resist grabbing a few of the series, most were quick easy finds and a couple took a short search to find

TFTC

Thanks for placing the series

An instant find. Container looked a bit empty so I topped it up. TFTC

Out and about exploring the area.

We decided to grab this series en route to home, some taking longer than others but all found in the end. Enjoyed a few nice walks along the trail.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache and series for our enjoyment valleycaching. Appreciate your efforts.

Cache-On!

Found by The Empire and Snap Happy
After exploring some towns along the South Gippsland Highway, we turned north toward Traralgon and decided to pick up the caches in this series before heading home. Some took longer than others but all caches were found by mid to late afternoon after some nice walks. Thanks for the cache, and the series valleycaching.

*22 Sep 2018, Found @ 4:05 pm, Find # 8341.*

Today, I headed down the highway to Traralgon to attend the Parkville event and now that the event is over, it was time to find a few more caches while I was in the area.
I had now headed South to see if I could complete the TST trail on my bike before having to head for home.
There are some tricky hides and some straight forward ones as well and then there were a few that I just could not see at all but I didn't have my correct glasses with me for cache searching which didn't help but in the end I didn't do too bad.

**Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.**

Easy find TFTC

Liking this

Initiating a newbie cacher... left surprises...

I went out with the scouts we found 5 of 7 caches we went with the help of eight torches pretty good effort.

1st Yinnar Scouts decided to do a night caching session, so we meet at the car park with 4 Scouts, 1 Cub and leader’s syllies and Shane280, to find some caches along the trail. We looked for 7 caches with touches in the dark and found 5. Thanks for the cache trail.

this one was a quick find

I went out with the Scout tonight we found 5 of 7 caches we went to with the help of 8 touches pretty good effort.

A quick find in the most likely spot. TFTC!

**# 20393** Found on a ride along the TST while staying nearby.
Not many muggles around today and a good variety of hides again.
Thanks for the cache valleycaching,

Having an escape day and spotted this one on the map... tftc..

This was an easy find compared to some of the others in this series. I took the TB in the cache so I could move it on. As I was walking the next cache I heard laughing. Kookaburra

It’s a good one

Our day to head out on the TST finally arrived. We organised ourselves by parking at the recommended places and then walking off in either direction to find the caches. It still meant quite a bit of backtracking and involved a lengthy walk, but it was a lovely day to be out in the area. Even saw an echidna, the biggest we have ever ween at the final cache!
We should have brought the deadly treddlies as this would have made the whole process much easier and it was a great day for a ride.
A good variety of hides and some bigger caches gave us the opportunity to drop off a number of Travel Bugs we had collected on our recent travels up north. Hope some other cachers are able to pick them up and move them on their way.
All in all a good, successful day out.
Dropped off Ann The Little Rat Travel Bug.

Out for a maintenance run today. All good here.
A new waterproof log is in place.
Happy hunting.

Our morning mission is to do this trail. Sadly we left the bikes at home so its a good old foot slog. Impressed with the quality and variety of hides on this trail and glad we have enough favourites to do justice to the awesome effort put in. Thanks for delivering a great morning for us. Tfts Tftc

*Staying in Traralgon for a couple of nights, we have enjoyed riding the trails, placed so close to town. TST - a variety of caches, hidden in a range of locations, a great ride for a couple of seniors - 28/30!*

Thanks valleycaching for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

We are on our regular Wednesday geocaching trip & today we are attempting to walk the TST both ways discovering all the caches on the way. Thanks to the CO's for setting up this well maintained trail.
We have given a Favourite listing to both the first & last caches in recognition of the trail as well as the odd worthy cache.

This description had me intrigued, I wasn't quite sure what to expect at GZ. As it turned out I found something ubiquitous and something that is not a bug bear for me. I am always happy to find them!
Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.
