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.

Found. Cache needs maintenance. Lid is off and full of debris. Tftc

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:-) ️

Nice
With Chazzanz

Awesome

First find of the day. Thanks for the hide.

Found

Signing logs as quick as I can so I’m not standing still for the mozzies - they are viscious!

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 simple traditional hide and find… fancy that!?

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.

I pushed my way thru the thick trees, only to see the traditional hide back the way I had come. Then walked thru the sword grass and found the cache. Of course, I then dropped 1 of the 2 logs and the lid somewhere within the sword grass.

Thanks for the cache valley caching

Found it!! Mega easy. Follow the path

Easy to find. Follow the path.

Nice and easy we also liked the little notebook very cool

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. 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. My idea of a Traditional cache would of been in that nice big stump, I had to look else where, a previous finder had covered it with green moss making it even harder to find.

Thanks valleycaching for the cache.

Tricky tricky, buffalo briggzie found this bugger! First find of this cache for 2020 thank you

Tricky hide but enjoyed it.
Thank you for the cache.

Not obvious

Found the possible spot but no cache

No luck

A quick find as i trip over every hidden log. Cache is in good condition. Who would believe I'd be followed in by a 4x4 on a road like this. How annoying. Cache is in good condition. Tftc

Found it before heading home..
TFTH

No hints but we have logged this find

Nice easy find. Tftc

Quick find. TFTC

Great hide. No one will accidentally find this one. I spotted a small hint of colour and followed my eyes with this one. I’ve tried to place it back exactly the same but it could potentially become better hidden over time. TFTC

I too followed the trample track, to the fairly obvious spot. No cache.

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

Tftc

Found it great find I followed the trampled track

No find here today.

I had no luck with this one either but I think I know where it should have been.

no found for today with this one
This week we went with the Scouts to continue our Geocaching trail, we had invited the cubs and introduced them to Geocaching

*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 @ 5:25 pm, Find # 8355.*

The GPSr couldn't make up its mind at this one so it took a little while to find the right spot.

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.**

Tftf

After a short walk from the dipper found this one.. left goodies

Put log etc... into a zip lock back to keep it dry bit damp over winter

**# 20405** 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

we followed some clearly squashed grass to the cache. Found with Chookies. Thank you!

Only found it by following the trampled bushbashing path. (Chick One)

Out for a maintenance run today. All good here.
Happy hunting.

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.

Continuing along this awesome trail, appreciating the variety and effort that has gone into creating and maintaining. Tfts ahhh a familiar container 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 (F=4 H=30) for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

In amongst the poo and nature.

Found it, off the track, be willing to go in!

Found with Nayyz486 and iced_coffee. Cool little hide, co-ordinates were a little off but that could be the cloudy day. Thanks for the pencil

What a great spot. Goekid8 found it! TFTC

Love a nice easy find Thanks

Was cocky with this one walking up to what I thought was GZ. Others clearly had too with a geotrack having been created. Hahaha found it soon after. TFTC

Continuing our lovely journey along the TST we found this cache. Nice hide.
Thanks, Silkyie.

Very well hidden, had trouble getting it out

Well hiden

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. This one had us going. The recently fallen branches made the going a bit tough. Found it and got out before dog walking muggle came. TFTC

Found with tassieexpat while exploring this interesting area. TFTC

Should have gone with my gut and gone the first way I went... great cache tftc

Great one. GPS spot on.

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.

Yay thankyou!!

~ PBF

This was indeed a traditional hide. I followed the most obvious geotrail and once in, I was a little worried that it may have been muggled as there were a couple of beer bottles on the ground and the first spot I checked was empty. No need to worry though, the second spot I checked revealed the cache.
Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.

Heh heh !!
Sticking with tradition,
this was a quick cache find [^]

TFTC

Great FIRST TO LOG 2ND TIME IN ONE DAY OH MY GOD

Found it TFTC 1st to log a new logbook again?!?!?!?!?! Lots of geotrails to trick you!

Cool

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.

The hardest part of finding this cache was getting access to GZ. Once that was sorted out, accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks valleycaching for the cache and series.

TFTC! Love these containers!
