TST No 18: Dragon Fly By Traralgon South, Victoria, Australia
By valleycaching on 24-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5T5WT

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 was a lovely ride along this unexpected trail.Located most of the caches, but dipped out on a few.Thanks for the series, Robmc.

Quick find. Dragonfly’s looking a bit worse for wear Tftc

A quick find. Warming up!

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:-) ️

Fly

Woohoo

3rd find of the day and the easiest so far. Loving this trail.

A quick fly by like a dragonfly

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

Cute…. Getting easy!
Loving it , thanks!

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 order, or very efficiently, but pleased to have the whole series with smiley faces now.

Near the 4 km mark, but I think I've walked more than that now. Would be easier if I had wings like this cache Guardian.

Thanks for the cache valley caching

Found in the open on the ground.
Replaced in correct position. All good.

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.

Cute fine

We love walking this track and still have so many caches to find along it! A beautiful sunny afternoon was begging to be walked in and my children were all over the finds today! We managed 6 on our walk much to their delight. We had found this one almost a year ago and forgot to log it. Thanks for this great series

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.

Love this

Love this cache, can’t wait to see more like this.
Mango mermaid and I found this at the same time.
Love from rainbow Adventurers.

This one made me smile was very cute! Thank you for this creative cache buffalo briggzie and I spotted it at the same time

Very creative container . TFTC

Tftc. Fly away:

Another appropriate cache name. TFTC

Saw the first other person on the trail, just before I ducked off it momentarily to grab this one. Co ords had me spot on. Not sure what the significance of the cache name is about, but TFTC.

Another beautiful day for a walk. Good opportunity to finish the series. TFTC

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

Tftc

Good find thank you

Cut little hid tftc

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

I found this poor little cache on the ground, so I put it back where I think it was meant to go. And whose idea was it to start filling the log in from the wrong end? TFTC

*Found with The Empire*

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.

Stamped and returned as found...

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 @ 4:52 pm, Find # 8351.*

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, 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.**

Sorry I am logging a bit late here I realised only this week as we went out to continue.
I was out with the Scouts on the 21st August for a night caching we found 6 caches in the dark on this evening. this one was the last one for tonight as we need to hed back to the waiting parents.
Thanks for the cache trail.

**# 20402** 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,
***Roostaman***

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

A nice day for a ride along the trail to finish what i started nearly a year ago

A few DNFs along the way due to muggle activity but all in all a great ride along a trail full of some great caches

Thanks for the hide

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. All good here.
A new waterproof log is in place.
Happy hunting.

Tftc

Continuing along this awesome trail, appreciating the variety and effort that has gone into creating and maintaining. Tfts Cute 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!*
A FP for weatherproofing and theme.

Thanks valleycaching (F=4 H=30) for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Found with Shai.marelle. Cute little container, log in great condition. TFTC

Another cute hide! Thanks

Our adventure along the TST was set to come to an end but not before we snatched another cache with the dying percentage of the phone. We managed to find this one. Nice camo.
Thanks, Silkyie.

frmen1 and I ran away from home for the weekend with the view to target this road and surrounds. We walked the 14kms (there and back), taking adequate water and food supplies with us. A great day for it. Spot on co-ordinates for a quick find. The double container keeps the log nice and dry. TFTC

Found with tassieexpat while exploring this interesting area. TFTC

Very cute container tftc

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.

That is a cute container sitting resting amongst the trees here. I would have thought the outside container was waterproof but there is no harm in making sure!
Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.

Riding along on me pushbike honey
I found a cache here too !!

TFTC.

Dun dun dun :2 seconds:

Found It TFTC Quick and easy

One of our targets for this trip was to attempt the Traralgon South Trail . Despite adverse weather at times, we were able to walk the trail and found the majority of the caches.

This cache took about 10 minutes to locate because, for unknown reasons, both our GPS units were very erratic at this location. They would identify a GZ but then jump at least 10m to another location. The cache was finally found as we conducted a wide ranging search of the area. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks valleycaching for the cache and series.

Yay!!! Thank you

Fun

Found with The Tritonz. In was a good day for cahing and we were enjoying this series, although parking spots were at a premium at times. We ended up walking from safe parking spots.

Cool little container. Lots of traffic going by. TFTC

Despite the fact that our phones were playing up under the tree cover, this was a pretty quick and simple find. We liked the cache guardian. Thanks for the cache

Nice easy find.
