By BettyBoo3747 on 04-Oct-15. Waypoint GC64PFE

Out exploring after yummy breaking at the whisky place. Easy find.

Thanks

Nice spot cheers

A quick find today. Not sure which one came first but you can make either better with bacon. TFTC

That question was answered by a young child, he said the chicken came first because God wouldnt lay an egg,Thanks for the cache

Found while exploring the area on our way home after a little holiday away from our reality, and enjoying some beautiful areas, TFTC and the fun

TFTC the egg of course

Thanks.

We were on a mission to visit family but stopped here for a quick distraction. A lovely natural specimen at gz, in addition to the quirky letterbox, and the cache was found in good condition. Thank you for your letterbox art cache.

Awesome. Watch for slippery critters

With my grandson and love weather

Found with LittleBoss2 on our way around the lake. Last of the day before retiring to a red back at Yarra. What a great letterbox, thanks for highlighting Bettyboo, a quick find at GZ

Found with Bogonghazy. Quick find. Thanks for placing the geocache

TFTC!!

All I can say is that the letterbox came before the cache!
Back up at Rutherglen with our fur baby. A lovely bed and breakfast and a chance to visit a lot of wineries. Weather gorgeous.
Lunch in Corowa today and a handful of caches just north of the Murray.
Nice sized container
Thanks Bettyboo

Finally at Rutherglen and here for a week caching as Team JALEAR (joojoo57, Aussie Liahona, Richmond Lad, Endeavour3, Team Astro and Deanside) Loads of caches found and signed as well as some interesting places visited. Thanks to all the COs who placed caches around the region for our enjoyment of finding.

Well it wasn’t a duck!! Somewhere somehow…

Found out and about on the 2023 trip for the Rutherglen Mega.

Thanks BettyBoo3747 and clear skies from TeamAstro. ?? Cache the planet! ??

Quick grab on the road back to VIC!

We are a big fan of Betty Boos Letter Box Art as this is no exception.

We noted that there are now 2 little chicks hatched under mother hen too!

The last night around, we cached back to our accommodation in Mulwala until nightfall.
Didn't expect to trek into the bush so far!

found with ilukaperi

Here at Rutherglen for the Mega finding caches published since our last visit and this was one of them.

Totally agree, a great letter box!! Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

The JAMS team (JJ52 allister w, mogni and sir_spectre) were on a road trip heading to the Rutherglen Mega event (staying in Corowa) for 3 days then winding our way home via Albury, Wangaratta, Bendigo and various other places in between. It was a great week with many more caches found than we expected. There were targeted caches, challenge caches, Ad Labs, events and various others to fulfill various statistics for the four of us. We were lucky with the weather, it rained a bit on our way over on Friday, then half a day after we left Wangaratta but on the whole it was great caching weather. We did drive a few slippery muddy roads, but nothing too bad. We also caught up with lots of people either at events or out in the field and enjoyed many great chats. All in all a fun time with lots of Victoria explored and then very tired when I arrived home. [^]

We started early this morning and headed out this way to pick up a few trads and a couple of puzzles that we had solved before leaving home.

Thanks for the cache BettyBoo3747.

Found with the JAMS (JJ52, allister w, mogni, sir_spectre). We ventured over to the Mega from SA and found lots and lots of caches and manged to qualify for many challenges
Thanks

The JAMS (JJ52, allister w, mogni and sir_spectre) go mega... We came, we cached, we laughed, we hugged and we had a great time. All caches were replaced better than found.
Thanks to BettyBoo3747 from mogni

quick find and the first in the series
Found with JAMS (( JJ52, Allister w, Mogni, plus sir_spectre ) Mitchell&hound wasn't with us this trip) crew. All logs stamped as JAMS to save log space. This trip we are off to the Rutherglen Mega and then slowly coming back to S.A. for a total of 8 dys and 7 nights. The targets of this trip are for JJ52 to get 11 more multi to get to 1000 multi's and a few more Victorian LGA's, Allister W was targeting 17 virtuals ( or as many as he could get ) a few more Victorian LGA's Mogni to make the Rutherglen Mega her 20, 000 find and also for her to complete all Victoria LGA's, sir_spectre needs 1 more multi to get to 1000 multi's and get his Victoria LGS's down to 2 LGA's left. We got 20 or more finds in a LGA if we stayed in there over night. We also detoured to stamp any challenge caches that we were " in the general area off " and to complete that challenge before we came back to S.A. This meant that some times dirt road (s) had to be walked down because they were to wet to drive down and/or haven't been repaired since last years flooding. We started off the holiday in the rain and then that cleared up only to start raining and a overnight thunder storm but most of the trip was dry. Over 600 caches found for the trip including over 120 lab stages in that total. Got to complete the GPS Maze at the Rutherglen Mega for a 2nd time. Allister w was the team driver for all of the Victorian part of the trip. I think this was the first trip ever to Victoria that the extension pole didn't get used but the 6.2 meter ladder did get a work out.

This is our third Mega, and we have enjoyed them all. We had driven up a few days ago and camped over the border in NSW with our geodogs Mini Michi, Teeny Treek and Gypsy Girl. Our geomobile A'Tuin provided us with a place to sleep, and we had a wonderful position just metres from the Mighty Murray.

As planned, we met with Mr Sims_Family, who claimed his 7,000th find by attending this Mega. Congratulations Eddy. Neville_devil had also made the trip up, and we planned to complete the GPS Maze, the Gadget Cache Adventure Labs and the Ladder Series and see what else we could manage.

We were on the way back to our campsite and decided to stop by for this cache.

Thank you for this Traditional cache BettyBoo3747

Nice easy park and grab.
PrezDough and I are in the area for the Easter weekend and the Rutherglen Event.
We are doing a fat loop around Lake Mulwala and came across this beauty.
Gotta love a “regular”….!
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 4 TB.

Found with CJDenno. Nice easy park and grab for today while we are driving back towards Rutherglen. Thanks to our 4x4 geowheels, we were able to park at GZ. We quickly spotted the cache and then started to drive back to Rutherglen.

I visited 4 TB

Out and about for the geocaching mega weekend! :3
I need one!! Thanks for making me stop at this artwork its a ripper

Found It!
A quick find here. Sometimes I wonder if the people that live out here are competing on who's got the most creative letterbox...
TFTC

Easy find. Tftc

Found it. Thanks

Easy find good spot

Found on the way from Yarrawonga to home in Canberra. Quick park and grab whilst looking out for snakes just in case. Cool letterbox, I see there’s now hatchlings as new additions! TNLNSL. TFTC!

Out and about on this Beautiful sunny day catching up on a few caches on the other side. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

Another lovely spot and easy find. Helenoftroy

#4993 With the day off decided to head out with the geohounds and do a lap of the empty Lake Mulwala for a looksee. En-route we nabbed this cache which showed us that the letterbox art series is distributed far and wide. A very neat bit of workmanship on the letterbox. The geohounds enjoyed a short walk and sniff in the search of the cache. Hide in great shape and returned to its safe snug hidey hole after signing log. TFTC BB.

In this case the chicken had gas first, not sure about the egg. Made a quick find nearby at GZ.

Day 3 in Rutherglen, and another big day. Firstly it was back out to the EASTER 2023 series to pick up from where we had left of yesterday when the light beat us. Again some of these were straightforward, while others took quite some searching before being finally found. In some locations the 'hairy panic'' made searching a bit complicated too.
A number of Letterboxes were also tackled on the way back for lunch.
After lunch we headed back to Wahgunyah and Corowa, this time by car, where we completed the Adventure Lab and a few multis, traditionals and another letterbox.
Another busy but successful day.

All logs signed as SKI Pair or RASP (Rebel Acts & SKI Pair).

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache BettyBoo3747.

Quick search and signed and replaced TFTC

Easy find, excellent letter box️

Quick little find in our quest to tick off the interstate challenge. Thank you!

Find number 10182 at 9:48:43 am on Friday the 21 January 2022
Traveling from Wangaratta after the Mega plus a week to Moama for another week on the Murray River soaking up the sun
So this is where it all began, it all started with an empty gas cylinder that turned into a chook

Geokid 7yrs said "why did the chicken join the band? Because he already had drumsticks." TFTC

Pretended it was a pit stop

Well what a delightful day emerged from last night which had a little rain.
We decided to head to the Corowa and Wahgunyah area and find some caches along the way.
There was a little evidence of the overnight rain but most roads and tracks were generally dry and the sunshine appeared and in the end we had around 23 degrees with a gentle mild breeze.

We found a very interesting mixture of caches today and really enjoyed the various locations and hide.

Thanks to BettyBoo3747 for this hide, we did enjoy seeing the letterbox and we impressed with the shades!!
As to the question posed, we are not sure even after thinking about it for most of our lives.

Great reason to stop times two! I was wanting another cache today in NSW before we crossed the border into Victoria on our trip home from Dayboro. I loved the hiding spot and the bush around it, a nice short walk away from the highway. The other attraction, the letterbox, has had a few additions since the original photo was taken.

*Staying in Corowa for a few days*

In the area today with Happy pants, Happy Feet and omegaman1971.

A good day was had with plenty of banter and laughs. Interesting areas visited and some good finds made along the roads less traveled. I have seen many wonderful sights and taken many photos around this fantastic area
Thanks for the cache and the series BettyBoo3747. Appreciate your efforts.

Headed out along the back roads today grabbing a few caches along the back roads and this was one we came across in our travels. Nice little run of themed letterboxes here and it was a quick detour from the main road and we soon had the cache in hand. Thanks BettyBoo3747 for the hide.

Omegaman1971
The Omega Empire
@ 7611 finds
In the area with the crew, after a few days caching around Wangaratta,
Really wish we had letterboxes around home like this, should be compulsory! LoL
Cheers for the cache.

With the long weekend in Vic it meant more caching time so plans were mate with Omegaman1971 to head to North East Victoria, most of our effort was spent in Wangaratta with a trip to Beetchworth, out to Gtreta to do the NKH series and a small trip up to Cowra NSW, We had a great time finding caches, learning history, exploring the area and catching up with mates.

This is one of the caches we found on our travels.

TFTC,
Left The Rock this morning after a catch up with baby&Mrs gopher on our way to a weeks Golf.
Took our time and enjoyed some caching along the way.
An easy find here.

Obviously the letterbox has disappeared, found container, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to BettyBoo3747

Nice and easy. Tftc.

Nice easy drive by. Found with WEZSGraham. TFTC.

Watching for snakes

That was not where I thought it would be!!! TFTC

Found and left a muggle free treat.

Another enjoyable day caching. Very mild today for July. Cache found in good condition, and picked up a lovely TB as well

First geocach

Wood

Easy find!! Loved the chicken letter box too!!

Easy find. Great chicken letterbox

Nice hide, great one for the kids to climb over, dropped off TB

This was so hard to find i litetally kept going the wrong way and got so lost and then i found it. Whoever hid this is very smary

Getting on in the day when I decided to get my fresh air quota And grateful there are caches on nearby country roads that I can grab without being disturbed. Even so, have doubled up my hand sanitising routine and hand moisturiser. You can explore without crowding and there’s still plenty to see out there

I didn’t spot the chook Letterbox but did make short work of the cache find Thx for placing this cache for me to find on my occasional soirées outdoors.

TFTC

Sadly didn’t find this one.

Cache was found to be all in good order. Completed this one late at night and had a few kangaroos jumping around. Thanks for the cache!

Found while heading to Yarrswonga for lunch. TFTC

Found while staying in Yarrawonga for a couple of weeks went for a drive east to Rutherglen to find a few caches. This is one of them. Found the cache then took some pic's and I was done. TFTC.

Nice hide in a beautiful spot. The person who lives at the house with the chicken mail box got home right as we stopped to look for the cache...slight stealth was required

Such a nice and peaceful spot, TFTC.

Quick park and grab on the way to watch my daughter play netball in Corowa. TFTC

TFTC nice mail box. Out on a cool day, checked out a movie at Corowa golf club in recliner chairs.

Honouring the fallen on Anzac weekend.

Did not hav time to do the series but loved this one, cache found easily & wish I had something to add, Tftc

Murray River December 2018. I headed away with Fitzy_1965 for a weekend caching towards the Murray River near Corowa. We targeted a few series and as many DNFs from previous trips as possible. We did of course generate even more this time, but overall had a great time despite a sharp thunderstorm on Sunday morning.

Thanks.

After camping on the Murray last night we woke up to a huge thunderclap overhead and we then packed up in extreme record time as a red rain cell was about to hit us ! Just made it as a big dump of water hit the site. Oh well at least we made an early start to the days caching ! This was the next stop for the day. Another neat letterbox in the series, although it appears the egg is gone. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks BettyBoo3747 !!

#1522 Day 7 of the Great Vic Bike Ride 2018. This year is Bright to Benalla. Today's leg is Rutherglen to Yarrawonga (55km). Time to detour of the road and grab a drink snack and cache while hundreds of other muggle cyclists passed by. TN,left a red transformer toy, SL. TFTC BettyBoo3747. Unfortunately I have only been able to cover a few of your letterbox caches on this trip but they have been quite interesting. Have to come back again one day.

So sorry no egg today. But at least we got the cache. Love this letterbox and this series
Thanks Betty Boo, log signed
Cheers Lizzie and E

Love all of the letterbox caches, there’s certainly a lot of them. The minion letterbox back a hundred metres was great ! Tftc.

A quick easy find tftc

Passing by today,

We are staying at Mulwala for a few days and headed out today to find a few caches and this was one we found. We loved the letter box. TFTC

As I drove past I thought - I recognise that chicken so did a quick turn and parked. GPS had me going in circles but looked in the obvious spot and there was another Letterbix cache signed - TFTC
