Formation Bike/Walk Path San Remo, Victoria, Australia
By Wal-len on 25-Aug-16. Waypoint GC6QVFT

It's gone -not replacing due to ill health

Not found

DNF

Looked where the navigation led us but no where in site. Maybe has been moved as navigation led right near road.

No luck with this one

Couldn’t find it

Was nice to find a cache so close to home

Nice quick nano TFTC

Tijdens verplaatsing van Ballarat naar Phillips Island deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Bit good at putting these back together so just swiped the record strip green. Tftc

Quick find TFTC

I had about an hour to spare this morning so I targeted the caches on this bike path doing 14 of them by car and by foot.
The second cache for me and a busy road this SUnday morning.
Thanks Wal-len

Found it with the kids.

Find 1853
Coords were good and the cache soon revealed.
Log signed and all back safe again.
Thanks

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

We were looking for a place to enjoy a wintery walk today and decided to return to Phillip Island and explore this track. Today was a perfect day to enjoy the walking track before the weather heats up. Thanks for the cache.

**Thank-you to Wal-len for placing this geocache**

*9 Sep 2018, Found @ 8:01 am, Find # 8239.*

I headed out today with biggles1024 for a trip down to Phillip Island, it has been a while since we have been down this way and there are so many more caches to find now since the last time.
Two years ago I did complete this trail on bike but today we were going to walk this section but as it turns out we were able to park very close by to them.
Mark was onto this one very quickly once we got out of the car.

**Thanks to Wal-len for placing this cache.**

Easy find in the obvious place although it seemed a little lower than it should be so I made sure to put it back “above head height” TFTC!

Awesome!

During a previous visit to the area, we had looked for caches along the Phillip Island Road from the junction of the Bass Highway to San Remo. We found most of them but missed a small number. Since that visit a number of new caches have been added to the walking/riding track along this road. So, our last task for the afternoon was to look for as many "To Be Found" caches as possible before the light faded.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Wal-len for the cache and other caches along the bike/walk track.

Great to be out and about on this lovely winters day with Oz Hockey Chick. The game plan to ride along here to the around about way up the road. Thanks heaps for placing this fabulous series

Enjoying the sunshine today with Jentrek1, riding this lovely trail from San Remo to Anderson.
Cheers Wal-len

Found with paulnmax and michelleclerks 09

Having a 4 day holiday at Philip Island and stopped for this quick little cache

Decided to tackle a section of the Walk Path series today, on foot
Was pleased with the variety of hides. Most were quite easily found due to accurate co-ords. Unfortunately some logs were found wet and some logs quite full
Loved the pathway and the views. Look forward to returning to complete the series including the odd DNF
Many thanx to Wal-len

Unfortunately this log was quite wet due to the lid being cross threaded. Took a while to remove the lid with the tools that I had available. Log signed, although smudged, and lid replaced in correct manner

37/50, form one lane!

bit of a search but knew it was here somewhere- nice hide tflc

Another good half day of caching. TFTC.

Caching with ceebee2013 and her two little granddaughters, I drove along the road to each one while they mostly walked cache to cache. TFTC.

08/04/2018 - 11.02am - Find No. 945 - 2nd of 8 finds for the day - with dgfb33 & big-little & littler grand daughters on a warm but relatively short 'hunting' trip.
The girls & I headed off on foot for the next cache along the path while dgfb headed back to the carpark to get the car to use as his mode of transport. Up the hill we wandered & met up with dgfb at the required location.
A quick hunt was done before the magic 'found it' was uttered. Cache was found, admired by smaller ones, photoed, signed & returned as found. Thanks for the cache.
There were about 4 cycling muggles during the whole trip but not while we weren't hunting & only one muggle on foot for the whole trip...bargain!!!
The girls did a lot of walking between short car rides but still managed to get distracted with stones, gravel, sticks, stones, sand/gravel, stones ... but nowhere near as much as they'd managed on our trip out on Friday ... they were a bit tuckered out & a little warm but & mostly happy by the time we headed home.

No

Couldnt find cache, only magnet. Found an echidna though.

Found by The Empire
After visiting family in Wonthaggi, I decided to take a walk in San Remo. I grabbed these caches along the way. Happy Easter! Thanks for the cache Wal-len.
- M

Needing a decent length walk I decided to pop down Wonthaggi way and walk along the road connecting Phillip Island to the mainland. I only saw one person along the path today and even that was close to the car park next to Westernport Views.
I hope the locals make more use of this great facility than what I saw today but then again the bus stop at Anderson is not exactly the most popular starting place for a walk, now is it ?
Most caches were found without too much trouble with only 1 missing, 1 in desparate need of a new log, 1 guarded by so many Xmas spiders that I really couldn't see a way through to it without destroying much of what they built so I left the cache alone and 1 a DNF because I simply couldn't find it despite logs advising it was a simple find.
Thanks for the fun Wal-len.

After my time was up further down the coast, I made my way to the Island. I was going to attempt a bit of this series but stopped after 3 caches. Another one I was thinking it would but it was a quick find. Signed and returned as found.

**Thanks to Wal-len for hiding this trad for us to find and enjoy**

Log replaced

Just missed the new log anyway I'm getting my exercise

Log book.is fullll snug a pp7 in a used spot

Needs a new log

TFTC

11:13
*Saturday morning, a great opportunity to ride this section of the Bike/Walk Path.*
Spotted this one quite quickly, the tricky part was to fit the log back in the pesky nano.

Thanks Wal-len for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Could not find it sign has been damaged

I spent the morning caching down the Bass Highway, starting near Wonthaggi and working my way back north. My main goal for the day was to find one last cache to complete D/T loop 10, which I did.
On the way back I parked the car and had a pleasant walk along the bike path (no bike today) to find the caches. Nice views along the way too.
Thanks Wal-len.

The lid hadn't quite been put back on properly so some tools were required to open it and retrieve the log. Added our names, screwed the lid back on and returned to its secret spot. TFTC.

Quick find, but had to return to the car parked nearby to remove the lid. Should be easier to unscrew for the next finder. TFTC

I offered up my Uncle duties to the three kids for the day but they had plans so I threw the bike in the car to head down to the rail trail series again. I didn't see many people on the trail today but even better was the lack of flies. They really got to me last time I came here.

27 cache finds and 3 dnf's.
Not bad all in all. The weather was great and the exercise was much needed.

I had no idea this was my 1800th cache at the time. I parked my bike and wandered over for a look and found the pesky cache which again gave me trouble due to my gloved hands. I signed and replaced and got moving again.

Thanks Wal-len

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

I was out and about with Biggles Bear down Kilcunda way on our monthly caching adventure. Another quick find in this series as we headed to San Remo.

My thanks to Wal-len for the cache.

Found 1:48:00 PM, in the company of Muzza, whilst out on our May caching adventure.

TNLN, thanks Wal-len (F=2271 H=58).

I cached to the NE of Anderson this morning in the rain so it is much better to set off to the west this afternoon with the sun nearly shining. Another great run of caches. Thanks Wal-len.

Clever little hide. I would have been too short to see or reach it but geohubby had no problems.

Find #3284

Had some time to spare before heading off to the footy on the Easter Monday public holiday so I took a drive down towards Philip Island without a specific destination in mind. I knew there were caches along the rail trail here and this leg starting along the old road to the island seemed a good place to start. This was my fourth find of 12 along here and after shuffling the car along a bit I was able to find this. Couldn’t spot it at first but was able to feel it out and the find was made. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Wal-len.

Out and about for the day with Mark9375 and Geojill_11 picking up a few caches along this sandy trail. A nice easy find and within reach.

** 16 April 2017 11:44 AM **
**Find: #1042**
After some time of a caching low, Jascat, Geojill_11 and I decided on a place, time and date to go caching, we picked the Kilcunda/Wonthaggi area.

Thanks Wal-len for this bicely constructed cache, Trackables Visited, TNLNSL

Out and about with Jascat and Mark9375. Nice hide. TFTC

Wife dropped me off at the start of the roundabout and i went for a walk/run along. Thanks for these

I dropped geohubby off and he cached along the trail to our pre-assigned pick up spot. At least by having a chauffeur, it saves back tracking in this heat and with the flies..... TFTC

20170108 Cool. Found with Geniejoan. TFTC

Found at 2:43 PM GAFF1.
Now there was a quick find after the time spent at the Steep Descent one [^] However those flies certainly know when both your hands are occupied to put together the nano container
Thanks Wal-len.

Found with Alansee.

The first few spots that I checked came up blank, and then I thought "surely not" but yes, there it was.

With life getting in the way of caching recently, today was a good day to get out and head south for a mind clearing day away from it all. In the company of abl973 we had some excellent walks around areas and trails that we hadn't visited before.
A break in the traffic and the container was retrieved. Thanks Wal-len.

01/11/2016 1:41:00 PM - Heading out of Melbourne this morning the weather was cool which developed into heavy rain later in the afternoon. Along the way I stopped here to find this cache



Thanks Wal-len for the adventure.

Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it. Nice to see some more trails and caches.
Thanks Wal-en FTC. Hate these things.

This was one that I found easily but Jess had to give up so the ease of the find might depend on whether you have found this type of cache before.

SL at 3.23pm We made a start on these Pathway and Bike/Walk trails this afternoon and hoped the showers did not cause too much disruption to our plans. We ended up with 26 caches and 1 DNF for the day although not all were part of the trails. We had a mixture of weather - showers, wind & sunshine and not too cold to make it uncomfortable. We travelled mostly by geoCruiser, but in some parts we walked to take in the views and breathe the sea air. A successful day and added another tick to a Challenge cache we are working on. #4045 TFTC Wal-len

Had 2 jobs in Cowes today so after finishing them I decided to grab theses cache on the way back home. Sl thanks Wal-Len for the cache.

Stopped here after a morning on Phillip Island and made a quick find here.

Thanks for the cache placement Wal-len.

Day two of our caching adventure from Qld saw angloj and I heading to Phillip Island for the day. I had this one found nice and quick. TFTC Wal-len

Quick find. Tftc

Well the weather was not really conducive to caching and our enthusiasm was not high but we headed off into the rain in any case. Headed down towards the island to do a few and this cache was among the few we did today. Thanks Wal-len for the cache TNLN TFTC SL

inclement weather waas not enough to stop us from caching today.
we headed off to the island where we started our finds this being one.
Many thanks to Wal-len for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN TFTC SL

Out with Yorsys today this time heading to San Remo for a great day caching in the sun. We weren't quite sure about the location of this cache but after exhausting other possibilities we made an easy find.
TFTC Wal-len

Out on the bikes with the Swaggies. Find 1274 at 7 September 2016 10:41 AM. Bombed by a maggie

Read description and found cache quickly Tftc

Easy find
.onward
TFTC

This took longer and had me scrabbling around sod of clay and rocks till I read the description more carefully. Then there was only one place to look. Lots of cars along road made difficulty finding, retrieving and replacing harder and a bit more dangerous. Just able to reach it and walking ladder not with me today.

Tricky little nano found signed and replaced thanks for this series of caches tftc

Quick find with tassie expat. Initials only. Tftc

A fairly quick find between cars. Had to wait for another two cyclists to pass before returning. They were also being chased by the magpie. Struggled to not cross thread container. Caffeine levels must be dropping. TFTC

Thanks for these 7 new caches. All our chores for the day completed so a walk in the sunshine looked like a good idea. Found in good order.

****FTF**** a quick find with Zobo04. Rain stopped so it was time to get the torch out and do some FTF hunting which I haven't done for sometime now. I reckon if we didn't do them now the other ftf hunters in town would be out at the break of dawn. TFTC Wal-len

****FTF**** with Gonefishen07 a little night time fun before I have to go to bed. Thanks for the Cache and the walk Wal-len
