Staying at the Scout Camp, thought we would walk out to the cache while the weather was cooler. Shame this has been left like this, some neat old machinery around.

Great little spot, nice hide.

What a disgrace to let such an old building fall into such disarray. On our farm we had a similar structure right on the bank of the Murray River that had been a wool shed but was in far better condition. The craftsmanship was amazing TFTC TeamStArnaud

Find # 6577

Found it!
Thank you.

Container will need replacing soon.

I stopped on my drive from St Arnaud to Melbourne. Thanks.

While in Dunolly for a birthday party I have come to grab this cache. An easy find with some treasures inside, a pathtag and some cool TB cards. TFTC

Passing through the area with geo van in tow we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

After parting company with Kittykatch and Joolay to head south, I decided to cache my way back to Guildford. This was one of the caches I found. TFTC TNLPT SL

We were heading to the St Arnauld Mega and after flying down from Brisbane this morning we picked up a hire car and took to the road. I had not loaded my GPS with a wide enough area and this was the first cache which appeared on the GPS after leaving Tullamarine so I pulled off to check out the old building. Coming from Queensland, where a building like this would have been eaten by termites many years ago, it was good to see that there were so many remains of it.

TFTC TeamStArnaud

Lots of long grass, wouldn't want to explore here in height of summer but okay this morning.
Cache easily found
Cheers for maintaining TeamStArnaud

We stopped off to search for this cache on passing by today. The cache was quickly located and log book signed. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

A quick find on the way to Ballarat nice country area. TFTC.

After a long weekend at St Arnaud it was time to head back home but not before I grabbed a few more caches in the area.

A quick find. TNLN. TFTC

We are staying in Maryborough with Lady membsec’s Mum for a few days and decided to head to the St Arnaud area to gather as many solved puzzles and challenge caches in one day before the weather set in. Today was perfect weather and we found all different types of hides, some simple, some a little different, some high, some low, some in prickly bushes, some surrounded by water but nothing deterred us as we found all the caches we went searching for.

We started with an FTF and this one was after that. Pretty quick find and interesting place.

TFTC

This is quite an impressive structure !

Maryborough Day 2 staying at the Trotting Club
Drove up to Dunolly today to tour the area following the geocaching trail
We were very impressed with the many abandoned mines & historic sites.
Thanks for placing this cache TeamFUF

We found this cache after doing a bit of photography around the old building. If only the walls could talk! Thanks for placing.

Cool wee spot

Tftc quick find

After coming to Dunolly to catch up with family friends and staying for the long weekend we did a number of cache’s in the area and this one was a great little find. Love the history of this place and TFTC

Quick find while staying at Maryborough.TFTC

TFTC. We decided to go for a drive today before the heat got too much later in the week. First stop Redbank and then on to Stuart Mill and a small circle back along the highway to collect a few Original Road Puzzles before heading back to Maryborough.
Last cache for the day as the weather warmed up. Headed home to Maryborough for a coldie.

I finished up work pretty early today but had a daughter who was wanting some driving hours and was staying the weekend in in Moliagal so after she was dropped of I thought I would work a few caches into the two and a bit hours drive home.
A I was heading toward Lara I was driving right past this little one and of course couldn't resist stopping for a look.
I am glad it wasn't inside as the structure a seen better days. A nice quick find with good coords.
Thank you TeamFUF for the keeping this one alive

WOW, You should check out the construction of the fence while you are here. The construction of this wire fence blew our minds. We poked our noses over the fence but could not get a great look at the inside of the building. SL TFTC

As we were passing through, decided to stop.
A quick park and grab.
check out the heritage. Tftc

The Evil Muggle loves looking for “Shonky sheds” to photograph during our travels. The shed the cache was near would fit into this category perfectly. We were also fascinated with the large gauge cyclone wire fencing here too. Of course we approached the cache from the wrong direction and had to twist into strange postures to recover and return the cache. All those twisting exercises paid off today.

It is such a shame to find these old buildings falling into rack and ruin but I guess that they are too costly to keep maintained.
A nice easy find and the log duly signed

Day 9 of our epic 12 day / 10 night trek to the Parkville Mega in Melbourne.
The constant was my travel companions for the entire trip, - Anymules and S.A. Sewer Rats but we were joined by almost local cacher Bushfire once in Melbourne. So to save space in the logs we usually just wrote our initials BABS.
We had spent our last night in Melbourne but there were still some caches along the Maribyrnong River Trail to find so it was back on the bikes for one last time. Then it was goodbye to Bushfire as we cached our way towards Bealiba where we were going to spend th next three nights. [8)]

It certainly looks old. Found the cache quickly.

**Thanks TeamFUF for this cache. **

Stopped by and visited this Lost Heritage on the way through.

Thanks for the cache Rustymac75.

One more find before heading into Dunolly for lunch. Looks like this Golden Oldie is hanging on for dear life, it has a lean on it like the leaning tower.

Thanks to Rustymac75 for placing this cache and to TeamFUF for adopting.

Taking our new caravan out on its maiden voyage thought we may as well do some caching. Found this on a gorgeous Sunshiny spring day. TFTC

Found with geodog Nipper and crew. Thanks for the cache.

A tour around the countryside in the car, with Geodog Penny on board to grab caches along the way so we can earn points for 'Planetary Pursuit'

Tricky at first as we were in the middle looking everywhere when finally Mr Tyred n Cranky found it. Quite an easy find if you look in the right spot.

TFTC

I wonder how long this lean too will stay upright ?

Golden Oldie was transferred from Rustymac75 to user TeamFUF

Found by Mary & David at 1000. What history is here. We hope that the family who lived here enjoyed some happiness although probably there was sadness too, and possibly even tragedy. Such a lot of memories would have been created right here. Our thanks to Rustymac75.

Found after a short search. A lovely spot for a cache at awsome part of aussie past. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks to Rustymac75 for this hide.

Nice find on the way back to camp

Catching up on old logs.

I was driving back home from Maryborough today when I thought to myself; I should really go and grab me a cache.

So that's what I did.

Cool.

Found this one in its hidey hole, I signed the log and went on my merry way; feeling happy that I was one with the world again.

As we travelled to Wedderburn early this morning for a fun filled day of caching and eventing in the company of Wozzle68 and GemmaSistema we stopped for a few caches along the way...of course!

Taking a road trip for the weekend we took off from Ararat heading to Boort. We decided to grab some caches on the way. After stepping carefully on the way in the cache was spotted quickly by D. TNLS TFTC

For some reason it doesn't look as old as I expected, but it is certainly not golden! Cache found easily thanks.

Well the building is definitely run down [:)[
No snakes seen or felt biting me here,
and a cache found

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

On the way home from Scout camp. Better now in the long grass before the weather warms up and the sticks start to wriggle. Scary long grass! TNLN TFTC.

Found on our way to a scout camp

Did not take long to find last day of cacheing with Tadannatt in Australia of back to the UK. TFTC

Found this one with my mate RegLaw.

While being very inconspicuous while finding this cache, the car keys fell from the chauffeur's pocket into the long grass! This could have been disastrous, but fortunately they were soon located, log was signed and we moved on! TFTC
