By valleycaching on 21-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5T0BM

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.This was the first, parked and walked to GZ, for a quick find.Drove to the next one but there was not any parking, so I drove to the next parking spot and downloaded the bike.Thanks, Robmc.

Found this one today with the Geokids. TFTC. TALLY HO!!!

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:-) ️

Find # 7999

Did a portion of this trail with geodad and geokids, beautiful walk with a history lesson from geodad. Tftc!

So today I had to take our camper trailer to Traralgon to get bike racks fitted before our trip away. A trip somewhere different equals geocache search in the area and discovered several options but chose the Traralgon South Trail. Off I went on my bike "Olive" who is a gravel bike and coped well with this track bar the last couple of geocaches in this series so we just walked a little. Great track and a comfortable distance. However couldn't believe how busy this road is - made it difficult at times to pick a free moment to retrieve and return cache. Loved the variation of caches and the joy of cruising on my bike. Thanks for setting up a really enjoyable geocaching experience valleycaching. I really enjoyed my afternoon

A quick find here surprised to see micro so large but that was the external holder.

Nice easy find with a surprise a bit further down...

This morning I commenced my mission to A- Discover somewhere new. B - find as many of the 30 caches in this group and C - have fun and beat the rain. Big thankyou to GC only made it to cache 22/30 but loved the whole trail including your awesome hides.
It was a good thing I brought my umbrella with me as it came in handy snagging this 1st cache.

Quick easy locate on this wet afternoon, TFTC

Nice and east one, for the first of the day.
Thanks valleycaching for the cache.

Nice n easy

Late logging this one found 12 months ago!! Obvious cache hidey hole. We love the walking tracks we find with caching!

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. I had no trouble on this one.

Thanks valleycaching for the cache.

Okay, last one for the day.
Thank you for the series.
Will come back again for ones I didn’t find.
Love from Rainbow Adventurers.
Sad to see what happened here.

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.

Getting the caravan serviced at Ian Grants so had some time to kill. Looks like a few along here. Quick easy find. TFTC

Nice easy find.

Found today with Marshall’s Geelong!

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

On our way to yurt in Tara Valley saw this trail and thought I would give Them a go

Great find

Camped at Gormandale after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. Second for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC

I figured now was as good a time as any to start this trail. I left a couple of small swaps. TFTC!

Tfct

We had not intended to do any of this trail today as our plans revolved around the Strzelecki State Forest, but we found ourselves close by and decided to give a few of them a try. SL TFTC

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. The first for many, but our last today. We could see where the cache was supposed to be so we replaced it for others to find. Thanks for the cache, and the series valleycaching.

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 this trail before having to head for home.

I found what I thought was the camo for the cache but it had nothing in it, I didn't really look around any more, maybe I should have, it may very well be somewhere else.

needs maintenance..its gone

So cute. Fav from us TFTC

TFTC! There are heaps along here so I will write something at the end

Easy find once we got on right road

Quick find on a short walk to grab a few on the trail today. Log and container wet. Dried as best as i could. Tftc

Tftc easy find

Some very vocal BEEf nearby! Quick find but log is very wet so my pen didn't really work. Took photo as proof of find as well. TFTC!

Quick find

Not to hard

**# 20384** Found on a ride along the TST while staying nearby.
Not many muggles around today and a good variety of hides again.
A quick find on the first one was looking hopeful.
Thanks for the cache valleycaching,

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

Auf der längsten Tagesetappe unserer Australienreise mit dem Mietwagen, haben wir auch hier einen kurzen Stopp eingelegt.

Vielen Dank an valleycaching sagt der Steinbeißer98

Beeautiful container had water in it but the log was dry. The plastic bag needs replacement as it was torn extracting the log. Mudlarks serenaded me as I walked along the track.

That one has a bit of sting ! Tftc

TFTC

Very nice!! TFTC

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.

Out for a maintenance run today. we replaced the container so it seals correctly and a replacement 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 very pleased with our first find as it showed us we were in for a treat. Tftc

1st find on the trail with tb142 and kezza1211. Tftc
