Exercise at Eaton Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia
By Harrowang on 07-Feb-16. Waypoint GC6AZ12

Time for this one to go, not worth replacing it again.

Checked on this one on our way back from our exercise this morning! It has gone missing again, so back to the drawing board to see if we can come up with a better idea! Disabling until we find a solution. A few trackables visited to add to their journeys.

Container is missing again without even any visitors since we replaced it in April. Disabling while we work out a solution.

A new container, logbook and pencil in place. So all ready to be found again.

A brand new camouflaged container with log book and pencil is now in place. No room for swaps or trackables though.

A walk through the Park near home saw us check on this one. It seems the muggles have taken a liking to our cache so much that they have absconded with it! So taking it offline while we create a new container for re-hiding. Thanks for your patience.

Found this one with SciFiRulz TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. On a quiet Sunday morning it was easy to search for the cache with no-one else around. Took a little while to find its hideyhole, should be safe from muggles. TFTC

Managed some maintenance on the cache nearest our home while doing our morning exercise. All good and plenty of room in the log book. Tucked it back in its cosy hiding place.

Quick find with jackez74 and matho64 TFTC

A nice quick find. I came to it from the right angle. Thanks

A quick after dinner run with Mr 4 to burn some excess energy (not sure how he still has any left!?) And a sneaky cache grab along the way.

Cachly is wanting me to send an outstanding log, which I’ve already done, and I can’t find a way to delete the reminder, therefore this note.

Sitting on the opposite side of the park from where we lived a long time ago. Partaking of fish and chips and of course, a cache.
Thanks Harrowang

A quick find. TFTC

A quick check as Mr Harrowang was getting some exercise on his bike. All good here.

A quick bark and grab with the geopuppy. TFTC.

A quick and easy find with Matho64. TFTC

Quick park and grab on this sunny day with Jackez74 TFTC

Not a soul around so I quickly had the cache found, signed and returned, now onto the next cache. SL TFTC

Snuck in quick for an easy find

Went for a walk to soak up the sunshine. Kids and I have been busting to get out and find a cache or two. Great container. TFTC

Well camouflaged! TFTC

Nice and camouflage. TYFTC

Today is our last day in Wangaratta before we head to Maryborough so I set off today on my bicycle to find as many of the caches here as I possibly could. Luckily for me I've seen a few caches in similar locations so I had no trouble finding this one either.

Thanks for find #1631

Went for a short walk to check on drainage works being carried out in the vicinity of this cache. All good with the cache and well hidden in camouflage. Seekers can still access the container, but some stealth may be needed at certain times of the day. If your search will compromise the hide, please return at another time.

Back to work tomorrow and a very unpleasant morning in Albury with all the smoke from the fires to the east. So had an afternoon in Wangaratta to find a few caches and get some clearer air. Weather got hotter as the afternoon on and had a couple of technology issues, but got a nice mix of caches including a few that I had looked for previously with no luck.
On the home stretch now and this was a quick find - could just about drive up to it! Nice camo and log signed, and replaced as found.
TFTC Harrowang

Accurate coords and a precise hint made it a quick find. Could have been a bit tricky without the hint. TFTC

While waiting for our takeaway food, we wandered over to check the location of this one. Not quite where it should be, so we placed it back in its correct position. Thanks for the informative logs that alerted us to the problem.

A Quick find in what could easily be muggle central at other times. Fortunately the place was deserted as I rolled up to this one.
After signing the log, I returned the cache as found but I'm a bit worried it still looks a little exposed. Not sure this one was found as placed by the COs.

TFTC Harrowang.

Quite a simple find when the area is free of muggles

Was found on the ground at GZ. Was placed back in the tree. Tftc

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy, omegaman1971, Happy Pants and Happy Feet
A quick find here by Omega Man and Happy Feet. Thanks for the cache Harrowang.
- M

In town today for an event and hopefully to catch up with some old buddies.
Found with Snap Happy, Happy Feet1 and the Empire.
Cache in good condition.
Cheers for the cache

In town for the event tomorrow so I'm just cruising around picking up random caches found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC

Very cool

Today we decided that this would be a top place to park under the shady trees and have our lunch and also find a cache. All is good here. SL TFTC

The advantage of it being a hot day today, means that there were no muggles about exercising. I found the cache after a short search.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Harrowang.

Last cache for the VIC trip. Its been a lovely change of pace.

In Wang for the evening waiting for the XPT to take the geo family home. Christmas lights flickering, but the little girls were too busy giggling in the back of the geomobile. Time to kill, so a cache or three are in order. Arrived at Eaton, and it was our 11yo CREEPYPASTAISTHEBEST who found this cache quickly.

Signed by Creepypasta, Joem_au and Dunmowin, a marble added to the hide, and creepy returned it to where she found it.

Thanks Harrowang.

Tricky to find. Thanks.

Great find on a warm day

Nice easy find

*Found en route to Wodonga*

Met up with Happy Feet here to clean up a few caches around the area. Thanks for placing the cache here. The rain had finally stopped now as we made our way to GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Harrowang. Appreciate your efforts.

Stamped and returned as found...

**Cache Condition**: The container and log book are in good nick.
**Took**: *Nothing*
**Left**: *Nothing*

Cache-On!

All quiet out Eaton way this arvo
So a quick cache find was mine to enjoy !!
Thanks for giving me a sporting chance at finding this one [^]

Sneaky hide found with Maz1946.TFTC

This is my first ever geocache experience with my friend Mincka who,is teaching me.

S 36° 21.128 E 146° 17.920

Coordinates changed to:
S 36° 21.122 E 146° 17.927

Distance from original: 50.0 feet or 15.2 meters.

We found another hiding place quite nearby after pruning by the local Council destroyed the original hide.

Slightly new hide, with new container, log book and pencil. A new hint has been provided to reflect the changes.

Some tree cutting very recently??

There has indeed been some serious pruning at GZ, and it looks like the cache has disappeared with the prunings! We may have to find a new hiding place as the area is very exposed now. Stay tuned.

Neat camo TFTC

Making the most of the cooler weather..Spending the day out & about cache finding.
Great camouflaged cache!

Everton Day 3
Very nice cammo on this cache, very quiet at the grounds. FP given
Today we headed to Wangaratta to do some caching.
I dropped Bill off to ride his bike along the OCM trail.
I had orgainised myself a route that included puzzles that I had worked out before leaving home & a few other on the way to pick up point.
We returned home vis the gourmet run.
Thanks for placing this cache Harrowang

**# 20139** Found on the final leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A very warm Spring day for a drive around in Wangaratta.
Hardly any muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache Harrowang,
***Roostaman***

Out for some morning exercise and checked on this one on our walk. Plenty of room in the log book and all is well with the container.

Tftc

Cool. Warm sunny day.
TFTC Cheers

A surprisingly quick find.
Thought the container appropriate for a fitness track!
TFTC

Suscoe was out and about early today to enjoy what turned out to be a stunning Spring day.
Sun often, Cloud on occasions and a brisk wind that waxed and waned throughout the day.
We had a good time following the various cache placements today around Wangaratta.
Thanks to Harrowang for this cache, a nice bit of work, no one exercising at all here today.

Yay, what a great hunt! This was our first ever Geocache, thanks for making it fun to find

Very cool spot and really good camo

Great little cache. Loved the camo!! TFTC

Tftc

This one was a bit of a challenge today with a school's sports carnival happening here. The parking area near GZ was chockers but luckily the cars were all empty.
The starting gun for the events was extremely loud and made us jump a few times.
The cache was spotted from a distance and Quickly dealt with.
We were quite impressed by the camouflage on this one and giving it a favourite point.
Thanks.

What a great cameo thanks for the effort. All dry and good condition. Log signed. Many thanks

What an excellent camo for this cache as it was rather apt indeed and would have taken some time to plan and especially to implement the camo! It took us a while to find it due to a muggle mower man mowing around the area! Nice area.
TFTC Harrowang

A day off for Mrs Harrowang, so a maintenance check was done on this one closest to our home GZ. All good with the cache and a couple of trackables visited.

Great little find! Well done. TFTC

Really clever cache, a lot of work went into it great camouflage TFTC

Driving around and picking of a few caches as we went when this one popped up. G.Z. Was reasonably quiet except a few people training on the other side of the oval, but they didn't care about us. This was th most challenging find for the day and we had to search for some time before noticing th well camouflaged container.
TFTC.

In way for a few days R&R and caching of course. Had a bit of spare time before finding somewhere for dinner. This took a bit of searching, loved the cache container and giving it a fave of course. Only a few muggles exercising today. Thanks Harrowang

Pleased to log a find here while visiting Wangaratta. Thanks.

Geofamily trip to Victoria... Cool!
Mrs Moneydork, Moneydork, sushilord and I left Friday morning for a 4 day jaunt over the border to find a cache or two
Two nights in Wangaratta and then a night in Bendigo left me with 10 DNFs and 205 cache finds one of which was a FTF
Day 3 was Wangaratta to Bendigo as there is a particular wool mill there that geomum loves to visit [^] As with any family, when geo mum is happy... everyone else is [^]
Todays DNFs numbered 1 and the finds numbered 66 with some interesting caches and experiences amongst them.... not the least of them being me falling off of the walk the plank cache At least I found a PT there to make up for the fall

We exercised and we found a cache Great outcome on both fronts
Some days I reckon if it wasn't for geocaching, I'd never exercise

TNLN. SL. TFTC Harrowang

The geofamily are off on another trip to Mexico. Fun, sore backsides (for some) and Dad getting the geomobile stuck and breaking his bike, TWICE were the highlights of the trip. One of the running jokes for the trip was 'If it's 2.5T it's laying on the ground, if it's 2.5D it's under that pile of rocks or in the open, if it's listed as large we are looking for an eclipse tin' which came about due to a number of early finds. The lasting memory from this trip will be the grass seeds!!!

This cache didn't present much challenge.

Thanks for the cache Harrowang.

Nicely camoed

Had a couple of hours to kill as dropped Geodaughter off at a Bodyshop party. Difficulty increased slight due to muggle runners using the track. TFTC

On our way back from the event at Chiltern we needed to stretch our legs, and what better way to do so than look for a Harrowang cache.
At first the GPS had us barking up the wrong tree, but when I turned on my trusty iPad, we were led to the correct spot. Then it was a case of searching high and low before Muggle Hubby finally located it.
We both loved the extra work which has gone into camouflaging this cache container.
Consequently you win our favourite point for this weekend.
The log was slightly damp but still okay to sign. In this heat it shouldn't take long to dry out.

This was a hard one tftc

Today I was a bit blah about what to do, I'm off on a long cold school camp tomorrow for 7 days and didn't feel like doing anything to strenuous. So I decided today was the day to get around town and search for all the caches I've been driving or riding or even running passed! I even gave a few archived ones a go. All up GeoDog Rosie and I enjoyed our day, walking flooded trails and next to burst rivers, exploring a few new roads and discovering history hidden under our noses.

A quick P&G thanks to the hint. No one exercising today... To cold, even for me! Nice camo!

TFTC

In town to do some shopping and popped out to grab this one. We have only travelled this road at night to grab some fish n chips so we have never noticed the oval before.
And no we didn't look for Pokemon either
TFTC.

Easy find
TFTC

Had looked for this one a couple of times with no luck...but was determined today ...and what do ya know... looking at things from the opposite side to previous try's I finally spotted it! Also found a Pokemon Gym in the middle of the oval and a few Pokemon caught as well....lots of fun at Eaton T.F.T.C Harrowang

I had so much fun on our little roadtrip!
Me, boo09, becca85 & GemmaSistema headed to Wangaratta for the night.
Day 1 was huge with 50 finds, lots of which were at night by torchlight- we even got bogged!
Day 2 we got rained out in the end but still had an enjoyable day.
Thanks for some great caches in great company!

School holidays are upon us which means Team Clarmensma (myself, GemmaSistema, boo09, neisha07 as well as Ad + Luke) is formed yet again as we target another area of beautiful country Victoria.
This time we decided on an over night road trip to Wangaratta.
After a huge day yesterday of 50 finds plus another 4 challenge that we don't yet qualify for we headed out again with a target of at least 25.
The day started great then about lunch time the showers started. That's okay, we'll abort to Maccas and hope it clears. Nope, not so much. We continued caching our way home via Glenrowan and Euroa, with the rain becoming increasingly heavier. We got to Seymour, nabbed a tricky one in the rain then headed to another. We were blinded by the rain so heavy at this point and the sky quickly darkening that we had to admit defeat and part ways. Luckily we had surpassed our goal already. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days adventure in parts of Victoria that I had not previous explored in any aspect. Hope to be back sometime soon- in better weather! TFTC!

School holidays mean that myself and my two kids (ages 5 & 7) go caching with becca85 and her two kids (ages 6 & 8 - or boo09 and neisha07). We normally do a big day out around home (Ballarat way), but we are running out of spots. These holidays we decided to head north and stay a night and cache in and around Wangaratta. A new day dawned and we decided to cache in town this morning exploring the town. A nice little hide here which one of the kids found - well done. Thanks

quick find after giving the geopuppy a run. nice camo. tftc.

I searched high and low for this one the day it was published and couldn't find it for the life of me.
Had an errand to do in the area today, and found it straight away. TFTC Harrowang!!

Nice cache took me ages to find even though I was still looking in that area

At about 3 pm Ava from beavar went to the Eaton Reserve with mrs harrowang and in about 5 minutes Ava found the cache. She signed the log sheet and found a pencil rubber and left one of her mermaid PT's. There was no-one at the oval, so we could take as long as we liked! Thanks harrowang for putting this cache here for me to find.

Had a great drive over to Wangaratta today and collected this one I have been meaning to do. Great camo. Thanks Harrowang

Great camouflage. The log is signed 'Max'.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Harrowang [^]

Found it with relative ease after I read the description before setting off to find it. Not a soul to be seen on a warm Saturday afternoon. Thanks for the cache.

#1890 Yet another hot day, exercise is not at the top of the list. However did come into town to wash the geojeep but the car wash had long queue so decided to do a cache before returning. Found by Mr BGF after a short search, very nicely camo-ed container blending in nicely to its surrounds. No muggles to worry about, sheltering from the heat no doubt, that would be the sensible thing to do come to think of it..... TFTC Harrowang.

Found this morning with some family members as we picked up a few caches around town, the cache was soon located thanks to many sets of eyes, thanks Harrowang for the hide.

Out for a drive on a warm day, after catch up with geo family in Wangaratta for the night. Took a bit of a search but we made the find for all to sign
Thanks Harrowang for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.
#3023

This was our first for the day, and we weren't really on our game, as it took a little while to find, even with quite a few pairs of eyes. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Last day of our Snowy Mountains holiday, back to work tomorrow. Just time for another cache on the way home.
This one had come out while we were away, in fact quite a few were published in the area over the last two weeks. But just time for this one.
I hadn't been to Eaton before, but the GPSr had us looking at just a small area. Only a couple of muggles on the other side of the oval.
Lots of needles to search, but BB had it in hand very quickly (must have been all the practice over the last two weeks!)
Off for a celebratory lunch with the COs.
Thanks, Robmc.
