The day has come to turn off our caches

Thanks for the cache and very clever hide. Brian and I wish all micros were this size. Because of your ingenuity,hide,cache and placement we both thought this cache was worth a favorite point from us. Well done ArnupFamily!!!

We have been caching throughout the mallee for a few days after yet another lockdown, it’s so good to be out and about.
We have also been searching out all the small towns with their amazing art,silos and murals. Needed to park right on GZ to retrieve

Can't believe I'm the first one to find this cache in 2021and that is a nice view thanks for making me stop here.. TFTC

This was a bit tricky. Especially for us . However our van appeared to help us! Love the hide. TFTC

Oh clever. Lucky Handy Andy was with us on the journey. TFTC

Made a last minute decision to hitch up the GeoPod and take off for an overnight getaway to target some caches on some roads less travelled. Stopped here on the long way home after spending the morning caching in Wedderburn. Nice cache construction here. TFTC ArnupFamily.

Great job on making the cache. Mt Korong not visible on this dreary afternoon

Found thanks

Catching up on a few overlooked logs. Sorry for the delay ArnupFamily.
Traveling through with n0w0rries and our dogs, heading to Swan Hill via (the most direct geocaching route) Bendigo.
Thanks for the cache.

Travelling to Swan Hill via Manangatang with +Wife and our GeoMutts, EveTheStaffy and MaxTheCollie.
A nicely constructed cache found in a classic hide.
One confused mountain there.

Well constructed cache here that I found during breaks in the traffic. TFTC

A clever hide! I think this deserves a fave.

It was good to be able to find some caches along the route we were travelling today with ilook4geo. This was a good cache and once it was retrieved, the log soon had two more names added to the list before all was replaced in the container, which was carefully put back into place. Thank you to ArnupFamily for this cache placement.

Travelling the highways today with goingplaces2 and doing a few caches along the way. Nicely hidden cache here, with no muggles around to spoil the hunt. TFTC.

Our geoson wanted to find some caches since he was spending his birthday in the car driving for around 8hrs. He looked for a while for this one due to moving coordinates, luckily GeoMum was able to help him retrieve this one. Nice view. Tftc

**Traditional Find #2657**

SteMicMitSar and I headed to Mildura for the first day of our caching adventure to NW Victoria and South Australia. We had solved a number of puzzles in preparation for this trip but were also on the lookout for other caches of interest along the way. I've seen this type of hide many times but not this particularly implementation. Very inventive and the best of those I've seen. A favourite point from me.

**Thank-you to ArnupFamily for placing this geocache**

*Found on the 31 Dec 2019 @ 8:52 am.*
*Cache find # 10319.*

Day 1.
I headed out on a road trip with biggles1024, our first destination being Mildura.
We had a few target caches and series to concentrate on, this being one of them.
As we were passing this one and as it may have been a new map, we stopped for a look.
Mark made the find on a very nicely constructed and concealed cache.

**Thanks to ArnupFamily for placing this cache.**

Great hide tftc

thanks for the effort great cache tftc

Found while driving to Bendigo from Wedderburn to do some shopping in the big smoke. A quickish find and sneaky hide using available cover. TFTC.

Tftc good hide

We had enjoyed a week in and around Bendigo, but it was time to start travelling home. Always time for a cache or two or three or ........ (We also appreciated the caravan friendly stops)
TFTC

On our way to Jountoun for a house sit looking forward to doing lots of caching here in our 5 weeks .Good hide TFTC We'll give a FAV

On the way home from a night of training the local ses unit.
Love it! Not the first one, but always puts a smile on my face.
Cheers for the cache.

Heading back to Melbourne from Charlton grabbing a few caches on the way. Parked right at GZ and the cache was in the first place I looked!! Nice hide. Thanks to ArnupFamily for this one

Back a second time.
Mrs Riddell was vertically challenged and needed reinforcements.
Interesting about the height of Mt.
Korong!

This took a bit of working out but got it with the help of Harrison tftc

DAB and I planned a trip up to the area with a few hikes we wanted to do and a few caches too. The night was a cold one with -2deg on the temp gauge when we woke up at the camp site at the Melville Caves. We woke early, keen to get up and moving. After a packing up our gear, we enjoyed a camp cooked breakfast. With a page of caches on our hit list, it was time to get out there and do some walking.

We wondered where this one would be on the way past before we found some other caches and went to find this one on the way back. We were right, nice bit of construction here on a familiar hide

**Thanks to ArnupFamily for hiding this cache for us to find and enjoy**

After a freezing cold night spent camping near the Melville caves, we were keen to get up and moving. After a packing up our gear, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast. With a dozen caches on our hit list, it was time to hit the trails and collect some smiley faces. While the sun was shining, we did experience some light drizzle in the afternoon. But for a winters day, we couldn't complain.

Found this clever hide on our way back to Geelong. A nice bit of construction here, well done guys. TFTC ArnupFamily

Our with the Learner driver clocking up hours and she certainly had her eye in today. She spotted an anomaly and had the cache in hand quicker than anyone else could even think about it. TNLNSL TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1600. Our last for the day, as we still have a long drive ahead after a great time doing the power trail on the Yorke Peninsula. A FP for the view and the cunning cache construction. Our thanks to ArnupFamily.

Out and about on a country road trip today taking in the sights and local caches.

A very clever hide here. Best one seen yet. Thanks for placing

A quick dash along the Calder this morning took me to this little 'lookout'
Where a quick cache find was all mine once I achieved a little more elevation
Very neat cache hide [^]
Fave dance time

I've taken the tour of Mt Korong on a previous visit [^]
An absolute favourite area,
with good camping opportunities at the base.
And plenty rock scrambling up on high

But as for the height of Mt Korong !!
Well I don't know how that 364 metres ever caught on !!
Yet there it is !!
Repeated over and over again on websites ...
... even the local Wedderburn Council site !! [:o]

As for the CO's 423 metres ...
... well I'm guessing they climbed the hill and measured it on their GPS ??
(More info needed !!)

You are all wrong !!
Try 407 metres AMSL

Out for a day of caching with the Geo-Mum while visiting the family in Bendigo for Christmas. This was our tenth of eleven caches for the day on our way back to Bendigo. With the GPS pointing to the obvious spot, Mr Pooky needed the help of the 4WD to retrieve the cache ....... TFTC. TNLN

We found this cache today at 11:15am as number 4 of 9 on our Melbourne to Renmark Run. We pass Mt Korung all the time and I seriously want to do the caches up there but it will always take too much time out of our trip. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.

After completing the Victorian Country Road Atlas Challenge it was time to head home to SA. Grabbed a few caches along the way. TFTC.

Found by Aussie Train Driver 17/12/17.
Heading North this evening, I was in need of a break which was the perfect opportunity to find a cache!
I spent some time searching before I thought outside the box and soon had the cache in hand.
Great hide with a great view. TFTC!

Found at 10:17 AM GAFF1.
Great view from this location, however we were perplexed for a moment to expect to find a small in that location! Then a thought entered my mind - and yep - got the little cunning hide.
BTW - don't you know that mountains can grow in size
Thanks ArnupFamily.

tftc

Heading north for a few days and stopped to stretch the legs.
A quick search and I soon had the very clever and well hidden cache in hand.
Nice view of Mt Korong from here.
Thanks Arnupfamily TFTC

Suscoe had a big day out in the Wedderburn and surrounds area on this delightful Spring day.
50 finds from 50 caches, Whoo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
We enjoyed a very early start and saw lots of interesting countryside. Hilly tracks, bush, granite outcrops, lots of quartz, some old equipment, beaut gardens, buildings aplenty and even a solar array, what a great day to be out and about.
Thanks to the ArnupFamily for this hide, a beaut view.

Don't tke too long to locate and sign the log. Well hidden cache. Just as well we pulled off the busy road, our bus decided it didn't want to start, A few minutes

The countryside looks great at the moment and the views this morning were gorgeous
Cheers

12:53
Bendigo to Wedderburn, retracing a few tracks from the past.
Perhaps Vicroads should change GPS'r brand; 364m + 59m doesn't even look quite right!!

Thanks ArnupFamily for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Out on another adventurous family road trip to Mexico. Now for the long run home...

Those extra 60 metres make a lot of difference when your' walking to the cache at the top of the hill.

Thanks for the cache ArnupFamily.

Very well hidden

Pack a picnic and with geocaching for the day great fun had by all
TFTC

Found this one on the way back from a shopping trip on 5/5/17. Love the view of Mt Korong from here. TFTC
Sorry for the late log entry, got distracted when we got home and forgot.

A nice drive out to this one.

After an unexpected night in Wedderburn - to do the night cache and a few others with the lovely micaparamedic - the aim of today was to find some of the newer caches that had been published for the recent events (which I missed this year due to overseas travel)....and others in and around the area.

Thanks for the cache ArnupFamily

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks ArnupFamily for placing this cache.

Made a quick find here clever hide.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Great work on this one. We have a similar hide back home. TFTC.

Find no#1 out of 7 for the day with BeardedMuggle on our way to meet up with other cachers for an Easter weekend in Mildura.
Day 1 of 3 for us.... 8.15am.
Cool hide, quick find, nice view.
Took: nothing.
Left: nothing.
Hope you have an eggselent Easter. Happy Good Friday =D
Thanks for placing this to break up our drive.
Cheers & T.F.T.C =]
Safe travels and hoppy caching!

After some clever thinking from Tamzy we were able to retrieve the cache sign the log and place it back in its secret spot without too much drama TFTC

Our last Wedderburn cache before heading home TFTC

Wow what a soggy crazy thunderstruck night we had in Wedderburn in a tent... Wow. Funnily enough we hit the road early to be in the warm of the car. On the way out of town we collected the last 2017 cache from the weekend. TFTC ArnupFamily.

31 cache finds and 2 fantastic events attended makes for a wonderful weekend away geocaching! [^]
Especially when the caching is in the old blokes' territory and you just know thta you are going to be going 'oooh, aaah, awesome!' over and over again!
Even the weather played its part by showering us with rainbows, sunshine and rain all at the same time [^]

Found this one on my way into town and had to use Harry's bull bar.... not really I just got the ladder out

Heading back to Wedderburn , looking forward to a good pub meal for dinner, we stopped for "just one more cache" . As we searched for the cache we got somewhat distracted with the beautiful views overlooking Mt Korong as the sun was starting to set , displaying colours in the lovely white clouds. After a jog across the road, photos taken, we got back to the task in hand.
Thanks ArnupFamily for the sneaky hide and informing us of the real height.

Find No. 1739. Found at 3.55pm.

After attending the Lunch time event in Wedderburn we had the whole afternoon to do as we pleased, so off we went caching again to locate the rest of the caches placed for this event.

As we still had some time up our sleeve we decided to go for the drive out the road to locate this one. As Mrs Tyred n Cranky was looking elsewhere, Mr Tyred n Cranky came up with the goods. Lucky it didn't take us long as it was still raining.

Found with FUF009 while in the area for the weekends events and fun. Tftc

Find # 4238 @ 1334 H
Found with sharkiefan

A long drive out the road to make this grab. took us a couple of minutes to locate the goods. it was a couple of Years ago but I must say the view from the top of Mt Korong is well worth the hike.

TFTC ArnupFamily

Out to Wedderburn for some food, fun caches and fellowship.

We collected this one on the way in to town - spotted it quickly and luckily had the long arm of the law handy.
There are lots of great caches in the area so thank you ArnupFamily

A beautiful view just before the sunset!

Today I cached Wedderburn and surrounds with The Tritonz and Wozzle68. We had a fabulous day exploring the area and finding a great variety of hides. So many creative hides! Many thanks

Whoo hoo!! Joint FTF with virbull @0834.

Another great Day out in Wedderburn. Came up for the dual events and all the new caches, and wasn't disappointed. Spent the morning meeting cachers in the wild, and the afternoon caching with friends.
The first cachers in the wild today! Pulled up just as Shane was returning the cache to its hide. (Nice hide btw)
Thanks, Robmc.

The annual Wedderburn Weekend run by The Old Blokes and a few friends. Always a fantastic weekend and very creative caches.

All the new caches were publishd late afternoon yesterday so I was very surprised to arrive at GZ and find an empty log book. I climbed the hill a couple of years ago but still ave caches to find up there. Maybe I'll wait till the weather improves - it's raining quite heavily as I type this log

Thank you, ArnupFamily, for this cache.
#3876. Log signed at 0813Hrs.
(I often signed the log book as "W+W" to save paper/time/ink)
