This series has had its time, archiving.

This series has had its time, archiving.

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

TFTC nearly fell to my death sitting to write the log

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:-) ️

Very good

Completed the last leg of this series today, still have some on the other end to grab. Beautiful area and a nice walk, TFTC.

Not sure where 27 is??? And am not sure if this is the quick way home lol cache located after a systematic search.

Another seat victim here! I’ve never been able to find this one and wonder if it had been missing because today, it was spotted super quick! TFTC!

Seats definitely have seen better days as they nearly collapsed when I sat on them to sign log

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

Yep, one of those.
Easily spotted.
The timber of the bus shelter seats has seen better days. Dry rot is the culprit and judging by the dust no one is game to sit on the bench seats either!

Nice easy find

Tag teaming this trail today.
Glorious day for it.

Quick easy find, spoke with a local Muggle, whom thought it was MIA as when he last looked he was unable to locate it, but reassured him it was defiantly still there.

Dnf #3

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.

Found at 9.30 am

Thanks for the cache valley caching

Finally got out to check on this one today. Cache had crept a bit, but still in good condition.
Happy hunting!

Maintenance run on the TST today.
Will get to these final few caches in series soon.

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.

Easy find if you stand back and look TFTC

Found it

I was lucky to find this one, the cach was on the ground away from the quick way home, i put it were it can be found. Was just about to give up to. Cache was dry. TFTC VALLEYCACHING. almost there with only 2 DNF so far touch wood

Couldn’t find it looked in the bus stop and tree where is it

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. Bus Stops are places I frequent all day long, no trouble here.

Thanks valleycaching for the cache.

Hard find

TFTC found with Shez44

Quick find

I imagine that would be very difficult to find at night but after doing the bus stop near churchill this was a winch. Very quick find by just standing back and looking. Cache was found in good condition. Tftc

Tricky hide. tftc

A bit tricky, but found eventually. TFTC

Spotted it eventually when I caught a faint glimmer in the shadow. Think outside and you will find it. Enjoyed a seat while I signed the log before replacing where I found it. TFTC.

Nice day for a walk and a chance to collect more smiles. TFTC

Sneaky spot

Waiting for the bushas been a lovely day for a walk

Tricky tricky tricky love it

Found it
Loved it
Very well hid

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

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

*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.

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 @ 6:11 pm, Find # 8360.*

I had a bit of a look for this one when I passed it earlier on but on my return I had a better look using my phone as a torch as I didn't bring a proper torch with me, eventually the cache was spotted and the log was signed.

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.**

Reminds me of Fortnite battle bus!

Trrfc, got bit by a on the way though #whatchoutforthecatbytheseats

Thank you

Exposed to many eyes today ...

Too many spiders for a really close look.

No muggle activity today which gave me a chance to have a good look over GZ. I was glad there was no need to go near any spiderwebs. Thanks for the cache, it always feels good to clear one of my dnf logs

**# 20412** Found on a ride along the TST while staying nearby.
Not many muggles around today and a good variety of hides again.
A fair search around the usual spots and then found with a PAF.
Thanks for the cache valleycaching,

Having an escape day and spotted this one on the map... tftc.. Muggles But Found It

Too many muggles watching from their home..

Zamppa00 kiittää kätköstä. TFTC

Nice one! Bit easy

Fun walk and a good hiding spot! (Chick One)

Found, this trail is awesome. Thank you!

TFTC

No quick way home for us! But at least we have the cache!! TFTC

Out for a maintenance run today. All good here.
A new waterproof log is in place.
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.
Dropped off Ballonhorse 19. Formerly Travel Case Geocoing.

Nice easy one thanks.

Certainly getting a nice work out walking the trail. GeoD moving the car along so we dont have to double back. Awesome series thankypu for all you hard work. Tfts. This one took a bit of looking. 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.

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. Muggle man and muggle dog just waved and barked (guess who did what lol). One of us looked inside, the other outside. One came up trumps. TFTC

Found with tassieexpat while exploring this interesting area. 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.
Took a while but we got there in the end.

Haha had a look and a car pulled up beside me and turned out they lived here. Little girl got out of the car and got the mail for her mother. And looked at us and said "are you looking for the geocache?" Ahaha found it!! Haha

From the layer of dust inside I am not sure how often the bus runs along here? No hanging around waiting for it to arrive for me as I was able to locate the container and make my mark on the log.
Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.

Not sure what the name of this cache referred to
Something to do with skool buses I'm guessing
Hey !! I used to catch one every day for about eight years when I was young.
They were never quick

And as me skool bus delivered us to High Skool an hour before skool started,
and picked us all up an hour after skool had finished,
there was a lot of bored skool chids hanging around for a couple of hours a day,
and getting up to unsupervised mischief

I am still amazed that nothing worse than a few ciggies were smoked by some of the miscreants
We didn't devolve into an animal farm scenario !!
And behaved rather well I thought for a bunch of bored and unsupervised kids [^]

Wouldn't happen these days !!

TFTC and the memories !!

On the way to Traggy,
Found it after a bit of search due my gps jumped all over place till settle in.
TFTH

Nice and easy way to finish the trail!

Nice and easy way to finish the trail!

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.

Despite the potential for many different hiding spots, accurate coordinates and a little luck led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks valleycaching for the cache and series.

Tftc!

Found it just as we had given up looking

Sneaky one... Tftc

While visiting Traralgon today to attend a BBQ event we picked up some local caches as well in the company of Alansee. The male Triton had this one in hand pretty quickly. Thanks for the hide.

Found with The Tritonz today. Another quick find. We were getting towards the end of the series by now.

Nice 1

This one nearly had us beat.
We were looking in the wrong obvious spots
Geo son spotted this one.
Found with jazz83 and geokids.

Lovely drive, good little hiding spot. TFTC &

No blackberries

Well now this was had one to many spiders for me so as Geodude#74 went searching I stayed away which worked to my favour as I was standing there wondering if it was going to rain I managed to spot this one tftc
