Find number 14536 at 7:43:52am on Saturday the 26 October 2024We're on our way to WA Goes Big, travelling from Croydon (Melbourne, Victoria) with a caravan in tow and making a leisurely caching holiday across the Nullarbor and back.Well, WA Goes Big is done for another year and we are on our way home again now, via Perth, Kalgoorlie and the Nullarbor but slowly over the next five weeks Today I was up early to chase an FTF and a couple of other significant caches before returning to camp to get the misses out of bed A quick find this morning.**Thanks for placing this cache crane2**---*WOW, so much happening at home in Victoria*Dont forget to log your will attend for Victorias first ever Block Party in March 2025, the [**The Sunbury Event**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).Theres also all those lists of amazing geocaches at [Geocaching Victorias List webpage]( https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/information/great-caching-lists), go check them out.

Purhaps my most isolated find, sofar! Tftc

Found by The Empire + HAfter leaving Headings Cliffs, we continued our journey toward Klein's Border, the spot marking the boundary between South Australia and Victoria. The drive took us through rolling farmlands and stretches of native bush, the road winding gently as we approached the state line. The further we went, the more remote the landscape became, with only the occasional farmhouse or small settlement breaking up the vastness.As we neared Klein's Border, the landscape seemed to shift slightly. The low hills flattened out, and the terrain became more arid, with dry grasses swaying in the breeze. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the fields and turning the scene golden in the late afternoon light. Thanks for the cache crane2.-M

2 of 3 borders todayTFTC

Thanks found

Found this cache whilst on our two month adventure throughout central Australia and remote parts of WA.Found this one while hubby did the nearby cache.Thanks to all the COs for adding to our adventure. TFTC

My favourite caches are these ones right on the border. Great cache, and the kids loved jumping from one state to the other haha. TFTC

After spending the morning in kayaking to MacCabe Corner, we headed back toward our caravan park in Paringa in convoy with Wollaston and HansandLinda. Detouring this way to grab just a few other caches wasn't *too* much out of our way Thanks for find #5756TNLN

Out and about caching today in Renmark and district. Arrived at GZ and found cache. Signed log. TFTC

Our first full day in Renmark and finding caches out of town this morning while it is fairly cool. Thanks to all the COs for your cache placements.It certainly is a wacky situation.

After a week of caching around Adelaide incorporating The Great Leap Forward event, HansandLinda, MeandDe and I are working our way towards Canberra. At Paringa for a couple of days of rest and maintenance. We grabbed this one today on our way back to camp. Another great day for caching. TFTC crane2

TFTC crane2 your cache Wacky Border that we found today. We are camped in Paringa for a few days with Wollaston and MeandDe. A plan was hatched to attempt The virtual and the multi at MacCabe Corner. After kayaking upon and back we loaded the cars and slowly made our way back to Paringa. Not without finding a few caches along the way .Find Count: 19067

The border here is certainly a little bit wacky! Thanks for the cache! A quick find here whilst we checked out the border + virtual!All good with the hide!

I found this cache during my trip to the South Australian MEGA in 2024 sometime between the 23rd of February and the 9th of March 2024. Not sure of the exact day that I found this cache as I found over 1500 caches for the trip and decided to log them all when I got home. This cache was signed DSD or DARKSIDEDAN or AB or Adventure Boys. Thank for the cache and the adventure.

Driving the Border Fence Rd today and pleased its a much better road than we were expecting. And we stopped for a couple of caches to add to our fun this was one of them. Cache was a quick find. The cache is well protected here and is in good condition. Thank you.

Our ground stopped here to let their tyres down before commencing the Border Track. Thanks crane2 for this cache

Found

We stopped at Mildura for four nights while on our journey to North QLD.

Here's one to find today. Thank you for placing the cache   crane2.

On a Sunday drive

Got it! Checking out the 22/23 flood peak from a cupla days ago and the 'northern most point of Victoria ' while I was in the neighbourhood.

On our way to the mega and went via SA just so we could finish off the OYB series, We did these with TT and marked our territory with a stamp that said Team Tassie, most of the caches we found in good order and those couple that weren't we fixed up as best we could with what we had to hand.
All found now well till some more come out anyway!

Another year, another Victorian Mega, so where do we fly into, Adelaide like you do, after a few days in the city we ventured out into the wilds of SA before heading Northeast towards the border (You remember the name of the town, don't you?) before crossing over we teamed up with Tassie Trekkers and we all finished off the OYB series.
Our attempts at a few caches as we moved South that were near rivers were as half expected we were thwarted by floods so we didn't get to those but added the odd on in here and there.

At long last we arrived in Whittlesea for the Mega late in the evening of Friday 11th and after a quick event headed to our accommodation for the next few days. While in the area we explored the area finding caches all over the place and we even got to meet up with our Victorian ex Tassie cacher 1Toolman who traveled up from down South to join us for the day

Thanks for the cache.

A quick find as we were heading towards Victoria, or was that South Australia? [:o)]
Thanks crane2

We separated from Tassie Trekkers today with Budgie, SSR and I heading along the Murray toward Mildura and surrounds today. The high river levels prevented us from getting many of our chosen caches but we still found some good ones and enjoyed the day.

It’s become a tradition to fly to a Mega via somewhere else so Stainless steel rat, budgietas and I flew from Hobart to Adelaide a week before the big event and, after a few days around the city, worked our way up along the Murray (where we could due to flooding) via Waikerie, Mildura, Swan Reach and Echuca before heading down through Shepparton to Whittlesea where we caught up, and cached with, a few other teams including Whitewebbs, 1toolman and icybeetas.

Found this cache while out caching with Goosenegg and stainless steel rat.
We drove from South Australia, to Victoria and down the Murray river, swapping between NSW and Victoria, collecting LGA's as we drove down to Mildura

Thank you for the cache.

All caches stamped with "Team Tassie"

November 2022 was planned as a trip to the Mega in Melbourne, so we flew from Hobart to Adelaide to find quite a few caches that we had missed last time. Some great caches were found, but the planned boat trip was canceled due to the weather. No matter the showers we found quite a few caches on the trip (Around 600) including a number with high Terrian values.

The drive-through down the Murray river on the NSW / Victoria border showed the impacts of the current floods. A number of caches planned were canceled due to the flooding. Unfortunately, many of these caches will have been lost to the flood. The Mega, as per the whole week, was on and off a wet time, even so a number of caches were still found with Goosenegg, Stainless Steel Rat, Whitewebbs and Tassie Trekkers

While travelling through the area we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

Caches and contents were very good. Left TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found this cache in the obvious place as the co-ords are good. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC.

This was a nice quick and easy find while out on a caching trip with ilook4geo and Geologic2. All was in good order and the log soon had 3 more names added to it. Thanks for this cache hide go to crane2.

Nice walk, TFTG

Thank you

Found today while looking for the near by virtual.
Stumpy tail spotted.

Caching the border fence road with iluvtrekking buddies from WA. Glad there had been and is no sign of rain out here today.

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

We have joined forces with FelixII so we are off to see what we can find today. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on our geo-guided tour.

Staying in Renmark for a short holiday, using caching as a guide as to where we travel. 41 caches were found along and around the state border. This cache is one that was found today.

This cache is the first found along the border today. From here it’s down south. Cache is all in good condition for its age.

Find #4257 on 18 Jul 2022.
TFTC crane2!

My partner was here in 2019 whilst attending 3 events in 3 states on 1 day; awesome. I hope I get to do that one day . We stopped by this one on the way to getting Victoria North .
Thank you crane2 for the cache and placing it in a cool spot.

The Trip
We talked about planning this odyssey months ago, but put the finishing touches to the plan in the last couple of weeks.
We were hoping to undertake two challenges. One was to log a cache in as many counties in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales as we possibly could, as well as logging caches that were placed on the pages of the UBD Victorian Road Atlas as well.
dalerious got to work strategically picking caches that we needed. No easy task, but he is so adept at it. I get the car and supplies ready, and drive.
We had only 2 full days to do all this in, as well as an event to attend to in Mildura.
Quite an ask, but yet again dalerious and I not only marked of all the caches we had on our list, but we were lucky enough to add more.
We had an awesome time away travelling around hop, skipping and jumping from one state to the next. With the exception of hitting one Kangaroo, no damage to the Hilux or us thank goodness, I loved driving around this beautiful area.
Next big trip Tasmania........ Bring it on!

Enjoyed the drive along the border

TFTC

Ha, they let me in!!

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. How good is this country!!

crane2, I found Wacky Border today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Owl and Eagle were in the Riverland for a partially-government-funded weekend. Eagle was determined to explore some of the towns they had missed on a prior ill-fated boat trip. Owl was equally determined to find as many caches as she could. This cache fortunately fulfilled both requirements, as they were trying to find their way to said wacky border. Unfortunately this was as close as they could get to spotting South Australia to the east of Victoria, but at least the cache was found.

Found on a runaround from Mildura to Renmark and part of the border track, which I came for the TRIG. TFTC

Bluey and Bingo found it!

Another day of orienteering in the Murtho area and I'd volunteered to bring out the course setter early so he could put the finishing touches to the event which left me free for a bit of caching. A quick find, thanks crane2.

Found while trying to find the border corner post. We are lost but it adds to the fun.

Found

Today was the first day of mandatory wearing of face masks, we put them on and just couldn’t adjust to them! So we headed deep into the Murray-Sunset to cache in isolation for the day, mask free.
We headed north as far as this cache before making our way back towards the Old Mail Road and the roadblock.
Thanks crane2 for the placement.

Have to agree with the title. Had a great time out and about, exploring this far corner of our great state. Thanks for the cache.

On a camping road trip to the Mildura region with Papi4506, Geoturtle37 & RoamingHowie, the main target - the new Paddle Steamer series.
Very unusual borders here. I wonder who designed this layout.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, crane2

1:53 pm #1998
Continuing my first caching adventure with OzHockeyChick, Papi4506 & GeoTurtle37 and a mega adventure it is! Today we are off hopefully on a milestone run to reach my 2000.
A quick find thanks
Thanks crane2 for placing the hide!

After touring the wetland at Border Cliffs, we thought we'd take the scenic route back toward Renmark .

Thanks Crane2.

Tftc, thought we'd grab a few 9n our way back to the highway. Gets a bit sandy in places

Found today on a caching adventure out from our house sit in Mildura. We crossed borders, went to 3 states in one day and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

This one was a nice quick find as we headed from Victoria's most northerly cache, towards our other main target, the virtual at Macabe Corner. All good with the cache, thanks for the hunt crane2

After the lunch time event travelling with The Coffee's we joined the convoy to try and find a way to the five corner club virtual but after wasting quite a bit of time on the wrong roads we were all caching our way back towards Mildura
Driving through this part of the country is always enjoyable especially once you get off the black top and having another cache to find made it even better.

Looking at the screen shot it certainly is a wacky border and now the border track to Victoria North has been closed off.

Thanks Crane2, for the cache.

Had breakfast at an event in NSW and picked up a handful of caches in Vic before grabbing the one on the SA border and another across the road back in Victoria.
After picking up a few more SA road side caches, we made it to a lunch event in SA.[^]
A quick group photo and we were heading up the border track finding one in SA and one in Vic then this one in SA.
We were aiming to see if we could find MacCabe Corner where all 3 states meet before heading back to the last event....dinner in Victoria, but we couldn't gain access to the river without trespassing or a long hike that we had no time for.
We never got to see McCabes Corner. [xx(]

Anyway...as I approach 2000 finds, I was well consoled by logging this cache as my most Northerly find. [^]
I live only 65km South of the Murray River and at over 480km from home, this cache is also one of my most Westerly.

Yep.....it's a wacky border.

TFTC crane2

Well what a mixup that was! An entourage of vehicles all headed to try to reach the Virtual nearby, having had brekky in NSW, and lunch in SA, before heading back to Vic for tea, completing 3 events in 3 States in 1 day, but were totally unsuccessful in reaching the Virtual.
This cache was our consolation award for all of our effort.
dalerious was just replacing it when the rest of the entourage caught up with us.
Thanks for placing it here for our enjoyment.

Now for some real outback driving- in Victoria! There was a group of people out under a tree. I presumed they were not just there for a chat. Sure enough the cache was nearby and easy to find. A convoy is building up to go on a cache hunt on the Victorian side of the border, but before we crossed over there was this cache hidden on the South Australian side of the border.

Found by Mary and David at 14:20:00. One of the last of the big group to log, as we'd come via Renmark after the lunch Event. Much disappointment that we couldn't get to the Five Corner Club virtual after we learned that the local landowner was likely to be very unfriendy towards our convoy. We were within only 2.5km of our goal at that stage, too. Our thanks to crane2.

Out and about whilst in Mildura for the 3x3 event day. We had a great day caching in and around Victoria, SA and NSW before heading to the Dinner event in the evening. Our thanks to Crane2 for placing the cache it was awesome.
Regards
The Coffee,s

In the Riverland for a few events grabbing caches for a few days while in the area. TFTC

While doing this cache came across 7 other vehicles geo caching too

Day 43 of my solo camping trip that had taken me from Adelaide, through Victoria and around Tasmania, then up to Queanbeyan and the ACT for the Clear Waters Mega event, then back to SA via southern NSW. One more day and I should be home.

The weather has held out beautifully and today I made my way from near Mildura up to the northernmost point of Victoria, then down the Border Track.

Its been a great day, visiting some lovely places, with quite a few cache finds and a couple of nice walks.

A quick find as I headed north up the Border Track.

Thanks crane2 for the cache.

Followed the border up from the south. A nice easy find at GZ of a container in great condition.

Thanks for the cache crane2.

Out enjoying a weekend caching with the geofamily. Quick easy find on the way back from visiting the old Customs House. Cache container was damaged so I've replaced with a 600ml tube container. TFTC

Out this way finding some caches. This one was quickly found. The lid to container has weathered and broken but the log book is still in great condition. Sorry we didn’t have anything with us to fix it. TFTC

In Renmark for a family holiday for the week and having the opportunity to grab a few finds with Snap Happy and Happy pant. Up early and today we decided to grab some of the caches up near the South Australia and North Victorian borders, which might require a bit of a walk or 4WD to grab. We discovered some good hides and had no DNF's. As always, there was plenty of laughs and fun had, along the way.

It is very much a wacky border. We made our way here, not quiet to correct way but once at GZ, we made the quick find. The container does have a cracked lid. It would certainly be exposed out here, to the elements and heat. Signed and replaced.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the start of 2018 my average was only 47 words per log, which seems a long way from the 100 target. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 7000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 50 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Thanks crane2 for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Found this one today while heading down the border picking up a few smilies. The cache was quickly located after having a poke around the GZ and we continued on our way South. Thanks crane2 for the hide and for bringing us up this way.

Exploring into country.
Great view up here.

Everything appears Wacky after a long road trip. We were slowly approaching our target of McCabe Corner stopping along the way to find caches and sign logs. TFTC

What's this - a Wacky cache!! We stopped and walked over to the good hide. All is well with this one so no need for the polishing rag here. Our goal was MacCabe corner and your jeepers creepers cache. It had rained the night before and we almost got stuck going to jeepers. A low range reverse extraction and a car wash after was the order of the day. Glad I did not have to get out of the car here! I can hear you laughing now!

Found during an epic trip to 3 of SA state's corners - Haddon, Cameron and MacCabe. There was dust, eagles, a flat, video and lots of photography, mud and mostly more dust. An event in Innamincka broke up the dust and quenched the thirst.

Thanks to crane2 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [:o)] Hope the Wacky smile is still there [^]

Day 2 of my trip from Adelaide to Tasmania.

I am currently on a 5 day road (caching) trip from Adelaide to Melbourne exploring the outer most towns, On my trip I am going through Renmark, Mildura, St Arnaud, Ballarat then to Melbourne. Along the way to explore more I am caching.

Today was about collecting just what I drove by and trying to clear out some of the areas of the beaten track..

Sorry for generic log.
TFTC

Mr Parrot took a week off work to go hide out in Murray-Sunset National Park with Mrs Parrot.
Thanks to The Wacky's for their cache Jeepers Creepers which proved to be the Idea camping spot.
Found a few caches in the area and even managed to put out a Virtual cache at MacCabe Corner.
Loved kayaking in this area.
Hey why does the road turn off the border.
Oh well took a parrot right, parked and found a cache.

Just as got out of the car a local stopped by to check on my welfare. We had a chat, and he mentioned he had come across others stopped here "looking in the bushes"! lol He assumed I was taking a pic of the sign, so I left it at that! lol
Anyways a quick find then on my way down the border heading to Jeepers Creepers...

When we were in this area a couple of years ago this cache and a couple of others didn't exist so I figured we would find try finding these new(er) ones. This was easy to get to and find unlike the "Victoria North" cache which we gave up on since the farmer has obviously decided to claim the land and fenced off access.
