Mt Buffalo Views - Beechworth Beechworth, Victoria, Australia
By Jamin Appleford on 16-May-16. Waypoint GC6HYFM

Saw at as soon as I got to GZ. Great drive by with easy pull off.

No white pine trees here. No xc skiing so a good day for a cycle via geocaches.

Thanks for the cache. No better way to spend a beautiful Sunny winters afternoon than finding a cache or two!!!!

Found with Bullash on 4 March 2024

No pen on me alas so havent signed it - one of the easier ones tho !*Log type adjusted from 'Found' by Reviewer*>Caches can be logged online as 'Found' after the geocacher has visited the coordinates and signed the logbook.

Just no pencil inside - I must learn to carry one at all times !Maybe someone took it

Im just going to ignore the NA log as it is clearly ridiculous to think its appropriate to put one on a cache because it doesnt have a pencil. AND to think this micro should have one!

Found on our way home to Melbourne from the Capital Geobash in Canberra over the Easter long weekend (via a one-night stopover in Beechworth).TFTC

Mingan birthday adventure

Out and about enjoying the sights around Beechworth we stopped for a quick find here. We've not seen this type of container before. TFTC

We saw all around Beechworth while staying with family.
I have seen this type before, but not this colour. Quick find, thanks Jamin Appleford.

TFTC - something different

Nice easy one for the kids!! Thanks

A bit too cloudy for any mountain views this morning but a beautiful spot anyway. Liked the container too. TFTC Jamin Appleford and a fav awarded.

Thanks for bringing us to Beechworth. Quite a few years since our last visit but as beautiful as ever.

Great day in the area

Thanks for the cache

#17751; Day 5 of the Rutherglen Mega mission and the plan for today is to reconvene 'The Canberra Mob' (aka TCM) to tackle the CSI 3 geoart series near Beechworth and ther First to Find Explosion series back closer to Rutherglen. Headed off in a convoy after watching the start of the Easter Egg Hunt and grabbed the first in the CSI series around 10:20. We managed to log all of the caches in the series along with a bonus and a few others as we made our way around the trails. It was then time to head for Beechworth, collecting this cache along the way, Arrived to find the queue at the Bakery extended halfway down the street, so it was back to Rutherglen for a bite to eat. Once the hungerpangs were settled, we rejoined the rest of TCM again to tackle the first part of the FTF series which had only been published a day or two earlier. All up 67 finds for the day including the Farewell to Rutherglen event. Apologies for the largely generic logs! TFTC Jamin Appleford

After completing the CSI Series with the Canberra Mob, Pa drove Sol de Lune, LuckyL10n and me on a little adventure picking up more caches as we continued back towards the Rutherglen Mega. This was one of the caches we found and signed. TFTC Jamin Appleford

Rutherglen Mega trip Easter 2023.

Day 4 of the Mega and after completing the CSI and the Multi explosion, we headed back to Rutherglen for a few more finds around town. No issues with any of them and it was soon time to head to the farewell event.

Thanks for even more caches to add to the day.

Exploring the wider Beechworth area today, tourist attractions, history, bike trails etc, good fun.

Out and about exploring the area with my Snuggle-Muggle. It's always nice to pick up some caches as well.
Thanks for the geo-fun.

Nice view, easy find- farewell Beechworth. TFTC

Cool camp. Have not seen one of these before. Tftc

In Beechworth today to have lunch at Billson’s Brewery on a hot date with my wife and NO kids. Thought I’d better grab a few caches. Just cleaned my car out and wouldn’t you know it I didn’t have a pen. Photo included of cache and log with my card. TFTC

Nice easy find.

Found while out with Shaneo58 on the way down to Albury,
Signed log and Cache replaced as found.

One last cache on the way out of Beechworth to say so long and thanks for all the geocsches.

TFTC what a great day for a few caches

Just one more on my way out of town. Unfortunately no views of Buffalo today, too cloudy.

Day of from the usual grind today so decided to head back up to Beechworth and pick away at a few more caches. Very cold today, no sun to warm up.

Quick park and grab here. Nice cache.
Tftc !

Couldn't resist a quick drive by!

Another amazing view and a great hide,now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

Nice easy find while on our way to Mansfield

No views currently in the dark, but we did find a cache here, in our way home

Thanks for the drive by on my way home from a family gathering.

Cool find next to the Bilsons Fruit Tingle truck. Haven't seen this exact type of hide before. The coordinates had us over a bit but since the cache wasn't there I moved to the next place where it could be. Tftc.

Too many cars.

on 19/2/22 with geospouse GrahamT. For sure a great view. TrudyJane

On 19/2 driving round Beechworth collecting a few caches. Great view. Replaced a very soggy log sheet.

Caching day with Crank1 after the Mega event. Jamin Appleford, thank you so much for placing it and highlighting this area.

Mega Weekend at Wangaratta. On way to home in Melbourne. we had a great time finding your cache Jamin Appleford, thank you so much for placing it.

Found with suss vulture during the aftermath of the amazing Wangaratta mega. We were on our way back from the Basketball and we were like "just one more". The name about the "views" attracted us to this one. Quick find at GZ, funny hide. Lovely spot for looking towards the mountains, this area in general is just beautiful. TFTC Jamin Appleford!

We had left the basketball court, heading back to base. S was intrigued by the 'views' in the name of this cache, so we stopped here briefly. Enjoyed some wonderful views all day!

Good find.

Wangaratta Mega time and with the FFLL ladies, we had planned to attack the big rail trail whether it was rain, hail or shine. Well the heat sure did knock us around and plenty of hydration was required across the day. We had a time limit today, as there was somewhere we needed to be in the evening so we got through as many as we possibly can.

Continuing on the trail on our ebikes, made our way to this one for a find and sign.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Jamin Appleford

Day 2 at the Wangaratta Mega with Rapidlywild.

Plans were made to attack the rail trail so with the eMtbikes loaded onto the car we headed to the furthermost part of this trail. Plans were changed as part of the team managed to break her foot and ended up being our ground support which probably actually worked out for the better. Hydration was kept cold and on hand if needed or should anything else go wrong.

Ground support picked this one up while heading to a meeting point. Certainly proves whether or not the T rating is correct when ground support is on crutches.
Spotted something that looked odd at GZ, signed and moved on.

Thanks for the hide and maintaining Jamin Appleford

A quick find with Budgietas and 1TOOLMAN. I loved the 'little girl' holding the rock back in the paddock.
Thanks Jamin Appleford

I had been set to attend another Victorian Mega but the damn pandemic began and for obvious reasons one was cancelled and one was postponed. I was pleased the postponed Wangaratta event went ahead but have to admit I was still apprehensive about the COVID situation. Although attending all events, (except 1 of the CITOs) keeping distance was still a priority. I had a great time touring with 1TOOLMAN and Budgietas although there was an empty void where SSR should have been.
As well as Wangaratta, we visited The Paps, Mt Buller, Benalla, Glenrowan, Winton and even popped in to Lex country, having dinner at Brady’s Railway Hotel. Our find numbers were low but our laugh count was high so I call that a win!

09:52
Early arrivals in town, ready for The Wangaratta Event 2021, gave us the perfect opportunity to be out and about among the unusual or old roads, letter boxes,views, rocks, waterfalls and many other sneaky spots highlighted by a geocache symbol on our map of the area around Beechworth. Fabulous views.

**FEEDBACK TO CO:** Log is up for a refresh.

Thanks Jamin Appleford for adding interesting caches to the geo-gameboard.

Found this cache as part of a run of 100 caches that included a few of the HSS caches, the gourment series and the Ned Kelly Helmet Series. We found this cache after the element series completing a loop back around towards beechworth

Great views from here of Mt Buffalo

--------------------------------------------

The Mega in Victoria I had always planned to attend, but due to covid changes I was concerned, I wouldn’t be able to due to work commitments. As these commitments cleared up, I planned to go over and catch up with GoosenEgg, Stainless Steel Rat, and 1Toolman while in Wangaratta for a day caching to attempt to find 100 in one day. As things turned out Stainless Steel Rat was unable to go, so I was invited to join GoosenEgg and 1Toolman for the entire period. 1Toolman collected us from the airport and we immediately drove to Victoria’s 1st Geocache. From there during the 4 days, we visited Wangaratta, Mt Buller, Albury, Wodonga, Benella, Glenrowan, and Beechworth (although we didn’t make the bakery much to 1Toolmans disgust)

The trip was less about numbers and more about visiting places that I had only driven through before. We did manage to complete the Ned Kelly Helmet series and find a great Earthcache at Murmungee Lookout and another cache at “The Paps” which gave tremendous views of the area. The GPS maze, which I must say was one of the greatest attractions was also attended as with another cacher I was first through on the Saturday Morning at 8.15. It was great to get this icon on my profile.

Of the trip, it was certainly hot and humid, but we really didn’t get rained on in any serious way, with the major storm passing through at night time, otherwise it was just hot or very hot depending on the time of the day.

In Wangaratta for the Mega, we traveled over early so we could get some local caching in. After stowing the shop in a storage shed so it wasn't bouncing around in the back of the car we set up in the caravan park and can now cache and explore. Today we had a lazy sleep in and a late start with the mission to head back to Beechworth and have lunch at Billsons Brewery. After rolling out of the brewery after an awesome meal and some tastings, we headed back to Camp for a cheeky afternoon snooze. Stopped and grabbed this one first! Hmmm that looks a little out of place...A quick find ! TFTC

Found whilst the hubby and geokids fish! This one took me way too long to find. Thanks for the cache. Great views today!

Found it with SciFiRulz TFTC LOL

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. Stopped to take a picture of the girl pushing the rock up the hill and realised there was a cache nearby, so went and found that too. Not much views of the mountains today, there are a lot of clouds about. TFTC

Buffalo was in full view on this clear and sunny day and a great vantage point on the entrance/departure from town.
Soon spotted the hide and the dampish logbook.
Cheers

Nice quick easy find after a nice walk after we checked into our motel just down the road in Beechworth. Cache is in good condition, but the log book is very wet and damp and needs replacing asap. Thanks for putting a cache here for us to find. Cheers.

No views currently in the dark, but we did find a cache here, in our way home after successfully completing the Coach Toad Series today.
TFTC

We put our Hi Vis on for this to 'evaluate' any damage the sign may need repairing, well that was our excuse anyway. . Preoccupied by our own stealthiness, we completely forgot to admire the view! Oh well, we will be sure to take a look out when we leave. Thanks for the cache Jamin Appleford

I saw the sign, it opened up my eyes ... I saw the sign.

Nice container TFTC!!

Fltf

Spending a day in Beechworth to collect the few remaining caches we have left in this historic town ... the view was a bit hazy today, but the cache was a quick park and grab, TFTC Jamin

Found by Mary and David at 14:10. So good to see you and two of the girls today. We will return another day to finish off the area. A wonderful view, and just love the sunshine. Our thanks to Jamin Appleford.

Back in the home town for the weekend and realised just how many caches I need to do in town. Started with this one today as we made our way around the back roads of town to collect a few. A quick find as we spotted it from the car. A nice easy p n g to start the arvo off. Cheers

After a fabulous couple of days up here in Beechworth, caching and catching up with friends, it was now time to go home. We look forward to returning again, as even after two visits we have hardly scratched the surface of what this lovely area has to offer. We stopped to find this cache on the way out. After walking straight past this cache to look at the views, this one was quickly spotted by Chook. TFTC Jamin Appleford.

Nice little camouflaged cache on the way out of Beechworth. TFTC.

Found by The Empire + H
Picked up on our way into town for NYE. Nice views from GZ. Thanks for the cache Jamin Appleford.

School holiday time at Christmas – hooray. A week in Beechworth in the caravan (3 times already to Beechworth) with our daughter. Sunny all week, window shopping, visiting historic sights, walking in the bush, supporting local businesses, & geocaching of course. Found at 1140am by JK. It was suspicious so she took a chance, and got it.

Having a few days out caching with The Drovers collecting labs in Wagga and Temora we really wanted to do a few more so we took a detour on our way home.

We were heading back home after finishing the day off with an adventure lab in Beechworth but we couldn't help but to stop for one more at such a scenic location We were really happy when we pulled up here to find that we were the only people admiring the view as it took us a little while to locate the container. Once we did we had a laugh and thought how rusty we had become over the Covid 19 lockdown but at least we managed to add our name to the log.

Thanks Jamin Appleford for a cache with a fantastic view

The whole OSHFAM clan including geo dog Roxy decided to go for a drive from Porepunkah up to Beechworth, Wang and back to Punkah, caching along the way ofcourse. The weather was kind to us with the sun providing warmth and the clouds shade.

After a nice lunch of pies and sausage rolls in Beechworth we continued our travels making a stop here. The cache was located quickly and then we took in the views. Cache and log in good condition.

Thank you for the cache here Jamin Appleford

Good morning Beechworth. A sneaky littlw find while the hubby is still sleeping at the hotel. Loving rhw view. TFTC

Out for a drive a few days back, drove past quite a few caches but decided I had to grab at least one. Nice easy find.
Thanks Jamin

Nice easy find to take us to 50 for the weekend

TFTC

Found a nicely shaded parking spot and signed off at the entry to this tidy town. TFTC

Nice view

On passing by today we stopped off to search for this cache, which was quickly found once at Ground Zero having spotted it on approach. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the nicely camouflaged cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Found with ILookedThere as we raided Beechworth for every cache we could get our mits on.
Just cos it was a wet day didn't mean it couldn't still be a fun day. [^]
With the bikes all packed away, our plan of attack had turned to driveby parkngrabs.
This one suited us perfectly as we started winding our way back to the other car in Everton.
TFTC Jamin Appleford.

We (Dalerious and ourselves) were over in Beechworth today with the intention of picking up as many caches as possible along the MMRT to Everton. That changed about 30 min into the ride when the rain and wind started.
We changed tack and decided to pick up as many drive by's as possible instead.
We had spent most of the day out the other side of Beechworth. This cache we picked up on our way back to Everton. Great views. Beechworth certainly is a picturesque town.
TFTC Jamin.

Happy days

Beautiful view from here. Heading home to Melbourne from Beechworth. Thanks for placing the cache
