a road well travelled... THE FITZY Tyrendarra, Victoria, Australia
By shelley roberts on 13-May-16. Waypoint GC6HM0M

After a bit of a search the cache was found. The GPS was originally pushing us towards the water but common sense and instinct got us searching more logical spots. Found with Warner Warriors. TFTC

Found it

Found It......stopped in on our way to Portland for a weekend away. After a quick search the container was located, So with the log signed we continued our journey. Thanks shelly roberts for the cache

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on. SA caching foray. Staying in Portland for a few days to grab some of the local hides. Spending the arvo getting some outlying caches. A scramble for sure - thankfully we only had to go in half way. Thanks for the hide

We are travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We are staying in Portland for a few days, wandering around the area enjoying the amazing sights this area has to offer. TFTC. LNCU.

Didn't look to hard. Ran out of time.

Found with Rabbit510 while heading back home after camping at Narrawong for Easter. Bit of a scramble up but rocks are secure. TFTC

Nice spot, took a little to find. Watch your head Fred! Found with antiquebread

Found on way to Mount Gambier for the night. Enjoying the area

Day #2 Leaping Forward AdventuresAfter leaving my dinner event in town and high tailing it across to Colac for the night, today was a journey to eventually cross the SA border, at some point. How many stops will there be? .Almost thought I needed a ladder as my coords were taking me closer to the river. I began the rock scramble and search and eventually found it.Thanks shelley roberts for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------The Ballarat GeoTour ends on 4 March 2024!

Bullertrout, Nanzie and i are caching our way to Adelaide for the mega. Picking up what we can in the time available. The scramble wasn't as bad as i was expecting although i was a little nervous about what may have been lurking in the rocks. All logs are being signed as BT, N, PC or some variation of that to save space. TFTC shelley roberts#15174

PCNBT TEAM on our trip to join our other caching friends in Adelaide for the Event this was a nice easy find cache thanks shelley roberts

We pulled over for this one and LumpyJ took one look at the terrain and declined the challenge. However, LumpyR, determined to not let a steep incline stop us getting another find, went up, searched, found came down with cache so LumpyJ could sign the log, then scrambled back up to replace the cache. Greater love etc!!! Tftc

Wow, clambering up and down both sides, crossing the river, almost falling in. Great little hide, took it out of us! Hahha TFTC!

Found TFTC

Cool we did it hawks eye sarah

TFTC super impressed to find this after so many dnfs. With happylife72.

Not today and anyone got better coordinates?

Still a bit hard for a fit 80y old

If it is meant to be on the bridge abutment then it’s not there. If it’s under rocks, I couldn’t be bothered turning over any more than I did.

With the recent heavy rain and flooding, getting to this one proved a little hard today

Find 3933 on 6 August 2022

Phew. That was a bit of Huff n puff. But we found it in the end.

All is well with this tricky hide.

TFTC shelley roberts

Found it with Chris. Persevered but heart stopped, decided to give it one more try and it was discovered quickly. TFTC.

Tough kids give up but not me

What the ? Ground Zero was at lease 10 meters off

SL at 12:50pm. Another daytrip out with DarthVader69 chasing caches and then heading to Portland to do some shopping and have lunch. Nice picnic area.
*Coords are definitely way off but your geosenses should kick in eventually, haha!
*Replaced the cache where it should have been, not where it was found for a T3.

Found it, took a bit. Was a little off from the gps coordinates. TFTC

Lovely stream. Beautiful view
A bit noisy

Access was a bit of a challenge for us older folk but we located the cache and SL. Nice flow on the river today. Westies enjoyed the break.

This was our second look and still no luck.

Hopefully it’ll be third time lucky. If you do find it could you please message me to give us a hint. Thanks

Saw a little birds nest while we were up there

A bit dangerous for the kids but pretty easy find!

#515. On our way from Portland to Port Fairy! Nice little spot along the way! TFTC

Found

I was heading to Portland for some caching tomorrow, and chose some well spaced caches to break my journey. Lots of cobwebs to avoid while getting to the cache.



Thanks again to shelley roberts for the cache.

Kids beat me to it

Despite the log that I’ve just seen on the same day as I was there, I’m pretty sure it’s not there. Had a very good hunt around for this one.

No luck today.

Found on our way to Portland for a 3 day getaway. Chook carefully scrambled up and along, and soon the cache was found. TFTC shelley roberts.

On our way back from a Caving trip with The Morris, we stopped in and grabbed this cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

It wasn't too hard to scramble under there. River has been well up but not that far.
Thanks.

Quick find with the family enroute from Portland to Yambuk to meet friends at the slide! We’ve enjoyed our holiday and the magical spots it’s showed us. Many thanks for the cache.

gps would not settle on which side of bridge - another time maybe

Found it this time, great little break here from driving!

We had a good look around but couldn’t find it. I will admit we weren’t game enough to turn over all the rocks.

We will have another look when we come through again. Thanks ️

Found it and replaced log !!

Found but no log book just an empty container

Found container only with no log inside photo as proof

Tijdens uitstap van Port Fairy naar Cape Bridgewater deze cache gezocht, maar niet gevonden.

log book is missing from cache container

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found while on drive home, found cache with no log to stamp needs owner maintenance ! Cache is just an empty container 17/1/20 luckily no snakes today but plenty of spider webs and prickles ! TFTC lovely little creek !

We found it but its beem tampered with, so we founf was an empty box, left it insodw the bridge for maintainance

First, we were on the right side, with the wrong idea. Navigated to the other side, only to come up empty. Decided to check the hint and the activity and that's where we found it. Once you see it, it couldn't have been anywhere else tftc

Took us long enough.

Nice easy one thanks

Lost the battle here

No luck today

Gps had us first one side then the other
Finally settled after a bit if water hopping
Linda 3LG found the well placed cache today
Appears locals dump there rubbish off here
Did a bit of a citi here but only had one bag we could use
Tftc

An interesting spot for sure.
Another one of which side of the water do we go first.
Spent about 10 minutes to locate .
3LG ventured to the spot whilst The X-Trailers and I pointed the way.
Can imagine this being a cool spot in summer.
TFTC

Found with earthlight and Gwen of The X-Trailers while making our way to Portland.
Over thought this one, no geo tool needed, just some scrambling like the hint reads. Noticed a plaque "Country Roads Board 1974"

TFTC

Too good for us. Found what we think might be a retrieval tool, but no where ti use it.

Cheers

Bundy

A last minute decision was made with Na'wal, to head down the coast for a lightning visit. With one particular cache being the main focus of our trip, we grabbed a few others as well. The weather was perfect and the caching was awesome. We didn't grab a heap, as we tried to concentrate on quality over quantity.

This was a very frustrating find, as the GPSr kept losing its signal here. After a 20 minute search, we reached out for some help. Wow, how did we miss that !! Not in the place we expected at all.......TFTC shelley roberts

DAB and I were on the road again, this time more west, which we haven't done for a while. The day was going to be a hot one, so we packed plenty of things to keep us hydrated and had another great day out.

We didn't think this one would give us much trouble after parking the geo wheels safely nearby. But after an extensive search, both of us were cache blind today. We ended up using a PAF to help with an idea of where this one was hiding and thankfully with that help we were able to make the find.

**Thanks shelley roberts for hiding this cache for us to find and enjoy**

On this well traveled road,
I managed to get under its skin today
And went looking for this evil little cache

Twenty minutes of looking later,
and I retreated to daylight to brush the spider webs out of me hair [:o]
I'd given up on this one !! [:o]

But ... after reading the previous finders logs again ...
... I was back for another look
Optimism ??
Pure !!

And a few minutes later,
I spied the cache [:o][:o][:o]

TFTC

On a camping trip travelling around came to this location took a bit of a search once you spot it you can’t look anywhere else but was a bit tricky and yes the hint is correct found by inspector Rex and and co

Another well travelled road. TFTC
A trip east to Parkville 2018 had us stopping on the way to collect a few caches and again stopping on the way home. Well that’s what cachers do when they head to a mega don’t they.

Now that was different. Clear skies up there?

Found on the Parkville mega event round trip. This cache added to the experience.

Thanks shelley roberts. and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Found It!
A nice little park. After a bit of climbing around over the rocks I found the cache!
TFTC

We looked in the usual spots and came up empty - geoP then spotted the slightly out of the ordinary hide.

TNLN SL TFTC

Where I expected to find it but not EXACTLY where I expected. TFTC

Travelling to Mt Gambier.
TFTH

Co-ords are out but a nice find after reading others notes. Left a badge. Tftc.

The kids loved this one, and also enjoyed throwing rocks in the river. Took a few minutes to find, but geo kids have sharp eyes ... Thank goodness! Tftc.

We are travelling to Adelaide via Warrnambool, Mt Gambier and Victor Harbour. We have stayed in Warrnambool for a couple of nights and today are on our way to Mount Gambier. This was another stop along the way and took us quite a while to locate. GPS lead us astray so we looked at the clue and then located the cache. GPS was showing about 20m at GZ.
TFTC shelley roberts - GJMMelb

Great easy find with the kids
TFTC
Even with the rain we didn’t get wet

Had no trouble finding this one. Went for the hint, and the cache was in hand quickly..

Found after confusion between the hint and GPS with had me 20m away. After reading previous logs and a quick scramble, cache was in hand. TFTC.

Braydon scared me with the contents of this cache gps is off but its here!

Today we are heading to Portland for a few days and found this one along the way.

It took a little while for the GPSr to settle but eventually we found it where we should have been in the first place.
Thanks for breaking up our travels shelley roberts

On our final day of the road trip with CPwanderer on our way back to Adelaide.
Luckily, the grass was well trodden & the clue pointed us in the right direction.
That certainly had my workout for the day, thanks for the cache & interesting location Shelley Roberts

Found with clare007. Our gps had us elsewhere (probably because of the bridge) but the hint made it obvious. Thanks for the hide!!!

didn't find it alas, another try another day! tftc

**Out and about en route to Millecent from Warrnambool**.

*Grabbing a few smilies along the way*.

It was a cool but fine day as I headed North for a catch up with friends.

Took a few minutes to locate but got there in the end.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment shelley roberts.
-P

Stamped and returned as found...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing

**#11975**

Cache-On!

The long grass scared me once again so cos I'm wary of them i could not find .. another day maybe

Found it

I had to attend an appointment in Warrnambool, so I talked HevWalker into joining me on an adventure. This was our first stop, and I hoped to get the sad face off my map. This time I had company and we made a reasonably quick find.
Thanks from mogni

Heading to Warrnambool with mogni...as a previous DNF for her we stopped here on the way...found GZ and after a short search she located a logbook in a plastic bag then found where it had come from...
TFTC shelley roberts

I stopped for a quick look, but questioned why I was doing this all by myself on a wet and yucky day...
I gave up, but will come back another time.

After looking at GZ for a few mins I was relieved to read through activities to find that GZ was off, making for a very quick find and sign. TFTC

Found this cache after a little hunting, and then realized it was easier than we were making it. Sorry Duntulum, cache is still there.
Find #124

unable to find today

Looking looking looking.!!!! Hooray I saw it !!! TFTH

Heading home after a fabulous long weekend in and around the Portland area we made sure we turned this DNF into a smiley today. Our last visit was after heavy rains and flooding , leaving us sure that this one had floated away after an extensive search brought up zippo. However on this occasion we spotted it straight away. Thanks for another in this series shelley roberts.

Suscoe was wandering the countryside this afternoon.
We had been to Warrnambool and then we headed back over here to catch up on a few caches we missed on Friday.
This took a short search and thankfully we started in the right spot.
Log signed and all good.
Thanks to shelley roberts for this hide.

Found with The Empire as we journeyed from Portland to our respective home towns. Thanks to shelley roberts for giving us another chance to break our trip and get a smiley at the same time.

Found by The Empire and Sully
Time to start making tracks for home. This time, along the Great Ocean Road between Portland and Port Campbell. Found after a little scramble! Cars were pretty noisey from where I was! Thanks for the cache shelley roberts.
- M

As previous logs have said - the coords are well off here. However the rest of the information made for an easy enough find.

On my way to Portland for today's event. I left Warrnambool early so that I had time to pick up some caches on the way. At first I didn't spot this one, but as my eyes adjusted, I spotted the hide. TFTC shelley roberts.

15:44
Travelling to Portland with Liz and Bruce, for the 8 months to Alexandra Event, we chose a route via a number of caches, suitable for a leg stretch stop and hopefully reward both teams with a smiley token.
Satellites today had our GZ 20 metres west of where we found the cache.

Apologies for the late logs, we are still catching up after an almost fatal computer meltdown.

Thanks shelley roberts for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.
