On our travels we found ourselves heading to Echuca and took the opportunity to grab this cache, a nice quick find after a short walk, thanks for placing it
We bailed out of the Victorian Cache Crawl at Tatura and headed back to Echuca to enjoy a more leisurely tour around town and over the border in NSW, exploring where the caches took us to.It was like old times returning to Mathoura as this used to be to be a holiday destination as a kid on our way to Picnic Point every year to camp beside the Murray. We had a wander around some of the older headstones before making the find.Thanks gregandjudi for the placement.
With dot558 returning to Victoria on a hot afternoon and stopped in town to do some Thank you for the cache
We picked this one up on our return from deniliquin this afternoon. All quiet at the cemetery as you expect. A quick find of this trad cache.Thanks for another BRT cache gregandjudi
Suscoe decided to head up towards Mathoura this afternoon for a few cache finds along the way.It was a delightful day and we enjoyed the trip.Lots of interesting countryside to see and we found a few caches as we went.Thanks to gregandjudi for this hide and for placing this BRT cache. What an interesting place.
Passing through with geo van in tow and found your cache along the way.Enjoyed exploring the area, cache and contents were in good condition.Many thanks for your cache placement.
Found by Mary and David at at 11:05. You could have left M here all day as she loves exploring the headstone designs and epitaphs. Couldn't look around, though, as the rain was falling. Did see some exquisite wrought iron railings, some symbols, and sad memories. Plenty of blank pages left in the log book although some previous visitors have skipped them. Our thanks to gregandjudi.
Found on a lovely sunny day. Container had water in it and log was damp. Emptied out water and replaced snap lock bag log is on. TFTC
Nice quite find for us today.

West New South Wales trip 2020. Day 9. I was joined by MinnieK and Fitzy_1965 for a trip planned to go from Goulburn to Forbes, Nyngen, Cobar, Broken Hill, Wentworth and Balranald. Distance wise today was short, but we spent the day in South NSW between Deniliquin and Finley via Moama.
These BRT caches were all to interesting locations of history or fascinating artwork.
Thanks for the cache gregandjudi

Headed out on a 10-day trip to outback NSW with fitzy_1965 and albida33.
Day 9 saw us heading from Deniliquin to Finley via some more back roads. In logs, we signed as MK, F65 & A33.
Went back for more on this series today but again played havoc with my hayfever! Not sure what it was but it really seemed to just be this area. Quick find here today.

A drive out to Mathoura found us at this cache. The gates into here are stunning. A quick find then off for a drive to Picnic Point. Many thanks for the cache.
Day 6 of our journey from Innes Park Qld to st Arnaud. Early start this morning as we need to be in st Arnaud by 4pm at the latest. Loved the drive from hay to St Arnaud. Logs that were to small for my youngoldfella I used my normal signature of YOF. All good here. First to find the new container. TFTC
Staying in Echuca for a few days and decided to do some caching across the border. Thanks for bringing us to this cemetery. Tftc
Container replaced. Amazing how cache creep happens, reminds me of Chinese whispers.
Kids found this one very quickly! One of the clips on the container has broken off. Replaced where we found it
Lid had blown off. We placed in a small zip log bag but could not close it, sorry

Found with locus cache on what was supposed to be a quick round trip to Deniliquin and back.
Our "flying visit" turned into an epic saga that ultimately saw me hitch hiking home the following day.[:o]
Long story short....
When a loose car battery slides into the radiator fan belt that rubs a gaping hole in said battery and spraying acid all throughout the engine bay.......things were never going to end well. [xx(]
This cache was the only one found on the 2nd day of our "day trip" not long before the second and terminal breakdown that had me standing on the side of the road with my thumb in the air trying to get to work on time.

It's the adventures that don't go as planned that we remember the most and laugh at the loudest, [^] later.... a lot later.... eventually.

What was supposed to have been a quick day trip to Deniliquin to find a multi [^] that I had DNFd previously on a trip with the georents and geobro ended up being a 3 day nightmare[xx(] for me which will have long term consequences for Harry [xx(]
AnyMules had arrived in Shepparton the day before and so it was decided that dalerious would join Rex and I and we'd head to Deni in both cars [^] Then AnyMules would continue on to SA after spending the night in Deni and the rest of us would return to Shepp [^]
So we cached through Echuca, Moama, Mathoura and out to Deniliquin
Despite having a staked tyre[xx(] on a bloody good, clean albeit a tad sandy in places dirt road, before I even made a cache find the day was still fine right up until dalerious and I stopped at the Deni Ute Muster site to find the multi! [xx(] What I thought was water or oil under Harry was battery acid as the battery had slid onto the belt pulley which had sliced through my 6 week old battery like a hot knife through butter [xx(]
(That's what I get for having the radiator repaired only 2 days earlier![:(!])
The NRMA came out and escorted us into Deni and then it was fight the motel owner time as he wasn't going to let Rex into the room as he was legally required to and he didn't want Harry dripping acid on his concrete
Next morning a new battery was installed [^] and then it was head to Shepp time again.... except Harry died [xx(][xx(] and this time the NRMA just sent a tow truck! [xx(] Apparently the NRMA Moama depot is actually in Echuca and so Harry was towed to Echuca.. where it was a public holiday and I therefore had to spend another night in a hotel as he couldn't be looked at until Tuesday
dalerious had work on the PH Monday and so he hitch hiked back to Shepp and luckily made it safely to work with 15 mins to spare
On the Tuesday, Harry was finally ready after some fuel filter sensor dodgy stuff so Rex and I had to ensure he was ok by driving him so we then came home through Barooga way to snaffle a FTF in a nice riverside area [^]
11 caches found over 3 days is almost enough explanation in itself of the hours where doing nothing was enforced rather than being a choice This cache was found with dalerious on our way back towards Shepp... the only cache find today before Harry [xx(]died[xx(] again before we even reached Moama
Loved the entry gate art work here! [^]
As I have been about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

Headed up this way for a well earned break and as I love walking around the old cemeteries to get an insight about the local area I had to stop in here.
After a walk around the cemetery I headed off to GZ and soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks gregandjudi TFTC.

Still on the BRT today. This was an easy find - quite visible (not sure if it’s beneath its original camouflage but it’s quite easy to spot) Left it as I found it TFTC
I enjoyed finding this one as I reconnected with some family history at the same time.
Wow, the cemeteries around here are well kept, even the old ones! We parked outside as a mark of respect and I walked around to GZ. Cache was easily found with minimal covering, but then in most cases the locals won't be getting up to check out the latest logs, will they?
Thanks for bringing us here to this place gregandjudi

We drove out to this one as GeoTM was getting used to our new GPSr. After locating the cache we checked out some of the residents - interesting that there seems no logic to the placement of same. Interesting spot to visit. TFTC
Great cache.
Wife likes cemeteries and I like caching,
great combination.
Thanks.

An event in Echuca for lunch, some geocaching in the afternoon! It was time to head over the border and do a 'bit of a loop'. I was trying to get all of the BRT series, but I ran out of time and had to cut it short. Thanks for the cache, gregandjudi.

Quick find in this lovely spot. The cattle grid at the entrance added a real country feel. Enjoyed the drive out here. Tftc
Found it! How interesting, we wouldn't have even known this cemetery existed (or the RAAF tanks) if not for geocaching
As we drove into the area we both commented on the very high level of maintenance and care being displayed in this cemetery. The local community, in particular the Pioneer Cemetery Committee, are to be congratulated on their initiative. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks gregandjudi for the cache in a highly valued area.
Very peaceful place. The only noise I could hear was the bees in the trees.

Please excuse this generic log. I am following the 2017 Australian Solo Speedway Championship meetings that are being held in Adelaide, Mildura, Undera and Kurri Kurri, and grabbing some caches along the way.
I have done so many in recent days that I cannot do them individually. Be assured that I enjoyed and appreciated your cache, and I am grateful that you have taken the time to hide and maintain the cache.

Our goal today was to enjoy a day of sight seeing while in the area. We don't find cemeteries creepy. Thanks for an enjoyable cache.
Lovely entrance gate to a peaceful area. Cache seems vulnerable being so easily spotted but in good condition.
Thanks for bringing us here today . Truly loved the entrance it gave out loving vibes to this restful place log signed.
Today's bright and sunny weather gave us a great excuse to get out and check on a few of our cache and find a couple of others.
We made our first stop at the citrus stand then ventured out to this very, very quiet place. We've been here before on a similar expedition bbut today was the first time we actually stopped to appreciate the silence. The Wench even said she wouldn't want to be buried here because it would be too quiet[?]
Thank you, gregandjudi, for this cache.
